Sirius's hand collided with the tetramauler leader's claw, causing no burst of force on impact, but instead, dark salt sprayed forth from the contact.
It was a bizarre, miraculous phenomenon, one that even managed to startle the Rank 3 tetramauler. But the monster quickly snapped out of its confusion as it sensed something terribly wrong.

Its focus sharpened on the small figure responsible for its agony. It had to tear him apart, now.
