He moved forward and sensed a shadow closing. He looked back and saw a beast jumping at him. Despite being caught off-guard, not a trace of worry could be sensed in the enchanting purple eyes of the boy. A thin chain appeared from nowhere; it was razor-sharp. The beast's body passed through it, and its front limbs separated from its body.

He rubbed its chin and approached the creature. It looked like a normal canine monster from a distance; He used his shadow sense and saw its body full of shadow energy.
