When Uriel realized his phone was turned off by the cryptid's field of disruption it was already too late. A bald humanoid creature with protruding fangs and long claws attacked him from behind causing a gashing wound that felt as though a thousand needles were being jabbed on his skin.
The pain was so terrible it rendered him unable to think straight and he did what he thought would give him the best chance to survive, he activated Dash. He then summoned his revolver and opened fire against the cryptid, only to realize the bullets bounced off its skin and some of the shrapnel hit him in the face effectively blinding him.
Then, Uriel tried to focus on his mystical sense, but that proved to be yet another mistake because the cryptid in front of him was of the horror rank.
Now he was blinded, in seething pain and completely overwhelmed by the oppressing aura the cryptid emitted. Tears ran down his face, but they only made his wounds hurt even more.
