-The second layer broke-
"Ggrrhhhh!!!"
A set of lightning-sharp pain struck Alfraed once again. The young man kept a firm sight and accepting the possibility that the third layer may soon crumble did nothing to ease the pain nor was it a great stimulation to his struggling mood. Regardless, he unyielded.
From this endless overflow of energy alone, Alfraed acknowledged this newer giant was going to be several leagues more troublesome than the previous one.
"I'm... NOT... DONE!!!"
Immediately, Alfraed deployed a second batch of healing magic to remedy the damage and enhance his body. The young man sank each step deep into the ground to aid his shaky stance.
No matter the frenzied sting that followed.
No matter the freezing numbness that lingered.
No matter the fierce burden that stabbed him unreasonably.
