Just as Irving managed to react, the Werewolf God had already appeared right in front of him. The Werewolf God's claws were less than a centimeter from Irving's eyes. In that instant, Irving quickly leaned back slightly, evading the Werewolf God's attack.
Although Irving had temporarily deflected the Werewolf God's strike, the next attack was something that Irving had to endure with his own body. The Werewolf God's other claw tore into the muscle of Irving's right leg.
Despite the intense pain, Irving did not let panic seize him after being struck. He swiftly counterattacked using the Staff of Calamity. One fiery fireball after another was hurled at the Werewolf God. Faced with these scorching projectiles, the Werewolf God was forced to retreat momentarily.
Seizing the opportunity during the Werewolf God's retreat, Irving blinked to a more distant position.
