He had created some distance between himself and the beast but the creature was relentless in pursuing him.
*BOOM!*
It hammered him to the ground.
Adria still had his hands in front of his face but the impact of the punch to the ground made his back scream in the anguish of his pain.
However, he still had his eyes shut tight.
That feeling, it was there. He knew it was there. It had been a long time he embraced it, but it was still there. It had to be.
While he concentrated hard, the beast did not stop showering him with hits as he defended his face with his hands.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
Again and again it came.
And then it suddenly slowed down. No! it felt as if it slowed down. In the distance, he could hear the loud screams of Darklings that unfortunately had been caught in the hit of the beast Emilia and Snowbottle were fighting.
He could hear it. As their swords, and other weapons clashed with the skin of the beast in order to shed blood.
