The creature crashed down where the group had stood just moments earlier, shattering the icy ground beneath it. Shards of frozen earth launched into the air like glass.
Vale gritted his teeth, rolling across the frozen floor as he hurled himself out of harm's way.
"Too fast!"
Despite its massive size, the creature moved with terrifying speed. It lunged again—this time toward Dain, who now stood alone after narrowly dodging the first attack.
Two silver gauntlets clashed with a thunderous boom. A jolt of pain shot up Dain's arm from the impact. His usual cocky grin vanished, replaced by a look of raw focus as the brutal force of the strike flipped a switch in his brain—his mind changed to survival mode.
Dain fought with everything he had. His silver gauntlet met the creature's menacing strikes, each blow a test of endurance. The speed, the weight, the sheer violence of the creature's assault—it was superior in every way.
