He was engaged in a titanic struggle, channeling every fiber of his mana into his being to keep the beast at bay. "Keep fighting, Samuel! Let me help!" Erik insisted, his voice carrying over the crashing and roaring sounds of the environment.

He was unyielding, and the sound of his determination could be heard clearly over the din of the bloody melee.

"Fine! Just... don't get yourself killed, Erik!" He let out a yell, and his attention was instantly brought back to the beast that stood in front of him.
