268: Finishing the Skarnik

Only the sound of Val's attack cutting through the air and descending towards the Skarnik could be heard in the dense and deadly forest. Except for that, nothing could be heard in the tense environment, not even the rapid beating of the Skarnik's heart that almost burst out of its chest when Val saw through its ridiculous but on-point act and attacked it.

The Skarnik, however, was a unique type of monster that was renowned for its cunning, strength, defense, agility, and reflexes. It was an all-rounded monster that not only knew how to play dead and launch an assassination to catch his target off guard but could also respond well to sudden attacks.

As long as it had a reasonable amount of time, it could dodge almost any attack. Today, in the face of danger, it clearly exhibited this fact in action.
