Patrick danced around and in between Grim's attack. Due to the [Increased Hearing], Patrick began to get a headache over how loud it was getting. With a flick of his wrist, his sword slashed through the air and through Grim's side.
He felt his blade meet resistance before effortlessly cleaving through it. A long red gash appeared, followed by a pained moan from Grim.
MeOoW...!
Grim's cry caused Patrick's heart to tighten. He couldn't dwell on it long, for Grim was preparing his next wave of attacks. The cat stood on his back legs and brought both of his paws down onto Patrick.
Patrick sheathed his blade and placed it horizontally on his hip. His left hand is tightly clasped around the furry hilt of the cane, and his right hand is holding the smooth wooden sheath.
The world seemed to slow down the second Patrick took in a deep breath and exhaled.
Fwooo...
