Occupied with evading its attack, Lucius could hardly focus on its other eye. But in a moment of distraction, he accidentally looked it in the eye. And, the moment he met its eye, his whole body went numb almost as if he were paralyzed.
What was happening to him? He couldn't be sure. And, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake this feeling of immobilization.
Panic surged as he failed to shake this feeling.
'What's happening to me?' terror and confusion filled his eyes.
Having lost control of his body, he couldn't maintain his balance. And, so he started to fall.
Taking advantage of Lucius's condition, Stoneface swung its arm toward him. But before it could hit Lucius, it lost its footing which caused it to miss Lucius barely by an inch.
