When the monsters got close enough, they leaped to attack Jake with their claws and pretty much at the same time. Jake learned a long time ago that waiting for them to finish their attacks wouldn't be a good idea, so he charged forward and then attacked one of them with his sword after using Fire Enchantment. He didn't hold back with his attack, but his sword only cut a small layer of the monster's flesh.
"The fur is too thick… it got in the way," Jake thought while he was turning around and saw the enemies landing on the spot he had been a few seconds ago.
Jake had attacked the chest of one of them. Naturally, it would be one of the most areas where the fur would be the thickest. Still, it would have been hard to aim for the head of one of them at that moment.
