Silence reigned over the place. All eyes were fixed on the scene in front of them. Themen and Diana were already discussing their follow up plan of action. They had already considered Erick dead. As did everyone else in the castle.
Erick however, had yet to give up on himself. He had one moment of stupidity which landed him in this mess, but it had also been an opportunity.
He had managed to reach level 17 in one go. The situation however was too tense for him to summon his stats to analyze his numbers. It caused him to hesitate a bit.
Without transforming he had zero chance of getting away, but if he did, all his plans would have been for naught. The beast sensing the hesitation swung its paws. Erick's instincts had been screaming before it had even moved. He managed to dodge the fist, even if barely.
