His Arrival

The monster stabbed both of its arms with black claws covered in black, tar-like slime. Clyde easily dodged sideways; in the blink of an eye, he was already out of reach of the claws.

He stood with a straight face staring at the ground crushed by the monster's black claws. The part of the ground where Clyde was standing before made a loud sizzling sound and started to turn black. If the slime in the claws got on the flesh of a creature, it would decompose in a matter of seconds, maybe less. 

It has the ability to decompose the target. That type of monster always has the same ability,' thought Clyde.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Clyde ran fast and then jumped; he drew the Elderglass Sword forward, sending a stab of Mana towards the monster corpses dragon.

*CRAATT!*

Clyde's Mana shot severed the monster's right flank; making the monster crash onto the black ground with a bang and scattering the black ashes that created a little bit of mist.
