A strange feeling goes down my spine as I feel something dripping onto my shoulder.
I quickly roll to the side as a claw goes past me, just barely grazing my shoulder as I roll out the way.
The pain isn't really noticeable as I push myself back up. It just barely cut through my cloak and a bit of my shirt, but it is not going to kill me.
Its speed is definitely a lot more than the previous zierel I ran into earlier. I can't let it beat me in a game of speed or else I'll be the one on the ground.
The moment I look towards it, it is gone once again. But there is no reason for me to be panicking about it.
Panic will only put me at a disadvantage and that's not what I need to be doing right now.
Shuffle!
Without thinking I swing my sword to the left and I can feel a little bit of resistance before it finally is free.
Drip. Drip.
