Maybe it was a disruption caused by the earlier or the presence of those corpses giving the stench of blood, but Alex found a beast similar to a creature of shadow circling him.
It had a good concealment skill of covering itself in the darkness of shadow.
Alex was greatly alarmed by its presence. The beast wasn't able to properly mask his presence and Alex glimpsed the swaying of grasses in the green patches before him which stepped upon steadily.
Alex got from his place while tightening the grip on his sword.
Waiting for a suitable opportunity, without making any noise, a beast swiftly plunged towards Alex threatening to tear his flesh after making a bloody hole in him.
CLANG!
The sound of metallic claws crashing down over the sword's surface rang out but it was forced to a stop.
A shrill disrupting noise emerged along with the eruption of faint sparks.
