Northern felt awful towards himself.
'I'm thinking about killing my companion… yet there's no emotion…' He touched his chest.
He didn't particularly feel attached to the beast all this while, however, it was really nice having it around.
That alone should have warranted some sympathy from him.
Northern shook his head.
'It's just a monster'
With a sudden burst of speed, the beast darted forward, its claws raking through the air as it aimed for Northern's midsection.
Northern responded with a deft sidestep, his blade deflecting the attack with a resounding clang.
Before the beast could recover, he struck back, his obsidian blade cutting the air with lethal precision.
The beast twisted and contorted, its body displaying an almost supernatural agility as it evaded Northern's strikes.
But Northern was relentless, his blade weaving a deadly dance of steel, each strike calculated and purposeful.
