The moment Nikolai made a noise, the mutant wolf flung itself at him like a bullet. Nikolai vaulted a table, meeting the monster halfway. He pierced through the air and lunged at the beast himself.
Clang!
Silver met the deformed blade as Nikolai deflected the smaller arm and twisted his body to avoid the huge claws, which tore across his chest. The beast cleaved a wide arc, which forced Nikolai to kick a table into the beast while rolling back.
"Grrrr!" The beast howled and crushed the surrounding tables.
Nikolai recovered and crouched a few yards away, his spear planted for balance. 'His strength is above me ever so slightly.' With a slow breath, he calmed himself and observed the monster, which thrashed around in search of him.
"Where!?"
Bang!
It kicked, slammed and crushed the tables and partition walls into dust.
