Seraf

(Leon's POV)

The battle continued as I struggled against the Thunderclaw. I thought that after recovering most of my mana and stamina, I would finally be able to defeat a level 5 monster.

But I was wrong.

–BOOM!

–BOOM!

–BOOM!

Dodging and weaving through the monster's lightning attacks, my breathing grew heavier. My body was starting to feel sluggish from fatigue.

I wasn't sure how much longer I could last.

–BLAST!

A bolt of lightning shot straight at me. With no time to dodge, I raised my sword and poured my Aura and the Wind Spirit Blessing into it to block the hit.

–BZZZZZZZZ!

But is was a big mistake.

The attack electrocuted my entire body. I could feel my skin burning like it was being cooked alive.

I dropped to one knee, leaning on my sword for support.

"Hah… Hah…"

My chest rose and fell rapidly, every breath harder to take. My vision began to blur from exhaustion.
