I wanted to open my mouth but realized I had no time to do so. Absolute Mind kicked in as fast as it could, and my sense of fear disappeared in an instant. I channeled mana into my obsidian sword, flames surrounded it and I swung it swiftly behind Hardil.
"Hrrgghaar!"
The yellow fangs that seemed to be smiling suddenly opened, accompanied by a snarl, and the creature moved, dodging the flames, but it did not stop there.
Even though enveloped in flames, it caught the sword I swung at it with its countless fangs and tried to break it.
I realized that the sword in my hand was trembling and tried to pull it back, but the creature's jaws were too strong.
Just then I saw something darting out of my side, something small and shimmering with the glow of the flame from my sword.
