Chapter 21: Overwhelming Foes
Fully aware there was no way to dodge the attack, Min-ho held his ground and swung his dagger. The blade clashed with the Spector’s hard face and sent a shock sizzling through Min-ho’s arm.
His dagger bounced away, but he used the momentum to push himself a little further back.
The Spector’s fangs missed him by a hair, as it fell an inch away from him.
Min-ho’s Z-Eye watched carefully.
Once the Spector landed in front of him, it didn’t give Min-ho a second to catch his breath or even recover from the pain in his arm before it swung its tentacle.
As it did so, spikes protruded from all sides of the tentacle.
Barely catching it in time, Min-ho bent backwards. The bulk of the spiked tentacle missed him, but he paid the price for his slow reaction time with the tears across his chest.
As his encounter with the creature thus far had foretold, it was much faster than him. So to combat this, Min-ho decided to watch it carefully and predict its next move before it acted. So he would have a better chance at evading it.
A tactic he had learned over a year ago.
Springing back to his feet, he ducked under another attack he managed to predict before arcing his dagger across the Spector’s throat, in hopes it was a weakspot.
CLANK!
