I felt my entire body paralyze on the spot.
Staring ahead, my throat clamped up as I silently swallowed, a cold sweat drenched my back as I did so.
Cra... Crack!
The air was filled with the sickening sound of cracking bones as the neck twisted grotesquely in my direction.
Drip!
Black droplets stained the ground as I stood with my breath held.
"....What are you doing?"
It was the sound of Owl-Mighty's voice that shattered my thoughts.
"Fight it."
"Uh...?"
I almost looked back in shock.
Fight it...?
'Can I even fight it?'
I could tell at a glance that whatever thing was before me was strong. I had hardly gotten any practice with my skills and had no experience fighting.
How could I fight it?
"....!"
Sadly, I never had the chance to retort as the creature lunged at me.
Swoosh!
It didn't make any sound as it did, but it was extremely fast.
