"The difficulty has just been pushed to the max now if it hadn't before." Victor said as he jumped over the tail sweep of the drake.
Luckily for Victor, the drake was slower than he was, so it was easy for him to dodge and manoeuvre himself around it without getting hit.
The moment he landed back on his feet, or rather just before his feet touched ground, the drake raised two of its front legs and stomped the ground causing the entire place to shake violently as though an earthquake was happening. This caused Victor to stumble as he was unable to get a strong foot hold, and in that moment he got slammed into the wall by the drake's tail as it swept it back.
The strike, though a bit slow was very powerful, more than what Victor had expected. It wasn't the pain that got him, not like he could feel any to begin with, it was the reduction in his total HP. The HP he lost was minimal, but it still reduced in the end.
