(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.
