Kieran looked at the beast which was making its way towards him, its eyes locked on his figure, filled with resentment.
Unwilling to be held back by the situation, Kieran ran out to meet the beast in its advance only to raise his scythe at the last moment to block the tail that hat whipped towards him at a surprising speed.
It felt like he had been hit by several tree trunks at once, as his body crashed into one of the other trees, landing on a big root.
"Arghh!"
He groaned getting back on his feet.
The good news was that despite the pain he felt due to the impact, he didn't have any Injuries or scratches. Although, his old injuries which had yet to heal fully still hurt when they got hit.
The tall beast, slowly repositioned itself to look in Kieran's direction and Kieran used its slow movement speed to his advantage, rushing out again while keeping his eye on the abnormally fast tail.
