Laz's body was blown back again, having avoided the bulk of the attack but still getting grazed. Just the air flow coming from the attack was enough to sending him back a few steps, like he was trying to maintain his balance on top of a jet in flight.
But even then he didn't back down and the second he regained his footing, he charged back in, swinging a fist a the creatures head and connecting, but failing to cause any major damage.
The shadow bear then turned around quickly, sending his arms flying once again at Laz in an attempt toe squash him, but again Laz was able to jump out of the way at the last second.
Coming to where he had dropped his spear, Laz grabbed it and threw it at the beast, but the skin beneath the spear shifted and molded, causing the spear to past right through the beast without even drawing blood.
"Tch..." Laz said, knowing that Kat was probably right but wanting to try it anyway.
