Alex, wanting to escape, let his body free fall, but the beast didn't let go, and it slashed its claws at Alex's chest.
*Slash*
*Pierce* X3.
The atmosphere grew completely still, and both Alex and the beast fell to the ground.
*Thud*
But then the beast, which was standing with Alex's body pressed under it, fell to the right...
*Thud*
Now, Alex was left lying on the ground with the beast's paw on his chest, where three long claw marks could be seen spewing blood, his face scrunched up in a pained look.
But there was a light relief in his eyes, as he had finally won.
His eyes turned toward the dead beast by his side, but even doing that was hard right now as his mana was now almost emptied, with just 1 or 2 percent left.
He stared at the two arrows and the black dagger that were piercing the head of the smilodon, cracking it open from behind.
