"Ughh..."
I pushed myself up from the red sand, my head throbbing with a dull ache. Everything was spinning as I struggled to regain my bearings.
Thud... Thud...
I could hear the rhythmic thuds getting louder and closer as I tried to steady my wobbly legs.
The Sand Dweller was closing in fast, its heavy footsteps sending tremors rippling through the desert floor.
I had only a few seconds to react before the creature would reach me.
"Shit..."
Summoning my Authority, I quickly channeled my Mana into it, coating the blade with Shadows.
Swish...
The massive Turtle lunged at me, opening its massive jaws wide to swallow me whole, while I swung my sword with all my might.
Clank...
The Sharp Teeth clashed against my Shadow-infused blade, sparks flying in every direction as an explosion of Mana erupted from the impact.
