Hard Trial (2)

Surprisingly, Jeremy's spear thrust was countered yet again by another enemy after the previous time by a particular dog-humanoid creature, as it appeared that Jeremy and his enemy's strength were approximately equal to one another.

*Grunt*

The muscular warrior, who had jumped towards Jeremy's left flank, gritted his teeth forcefully after feeling some numbness on his left side before swinging the sword horizontally at the latter's neck.

'Well...' Jeremy thought in astonishment while retracting the spear back.

Simultaneously, he also ducked down hurriedly towards the ground...

*Whoosh*

The sword blade went above Jeremy's head dangerously...

Then Jeremy kicked off the ground powerfully with two legs from the ducking position to the now-almost-landing warrior.

*Whoosh*

When the muscular man saw Jeremy approaching so suddenly, his eyes widened.
