The Humanoid Thaid (4)

However, the humanoid thaid suddenly shifted its attention back to Erik, which caused a dramatic change in the tide of the battle. It let out a low-pitched rumble as it charged toward him, its monstrous form tearing through the gap that had been left between them.

The creature moved frighteningly rapidly, its form becoming a blur of muscle and malevolence as it went.

Erik's heart pounded in his chest as he vaulted away, narrowly avoiding another swipe from the clawed hand of the thaid.

He could feel the rush of wind as the attack missed him by a hair's breadth, the force of it almost knocking him off balance.

Erik channeled his mana without missing a beat, feeling the energy surge through him as he pushed off the ground. He catapulted into the air, landing deftly on the side of a tall cabinet.
