The guard stretched out his right arm to the side, and within seconds, the spear lodged in the door's surface flew straight back into his hand. He started walking toward Shaan, swinging his spear with purpose.
"D-damn it. I have to beat him."
Shaan pushed himself up, ready to launch a counterattack. But the guard wasted no time and hurled the spear straight at him. Shaan quickly rolled to the side and dodged it just in time.
"Damn it! It was so close." Shaan let out a deep breath. "I have no idea what would've happened if that spear had hit me."
[Shaan!] Robin slowly stood up from the pile of crystal shards that had buried him. [This guard is tough. We need to come up with a way to take him down.]
"Yes, but- Oh, crap!"
The guard dashed forward at high speed, unleashing a flurry of punches at Shaan. Shaan blocked each strike using both of his short swords. Darn it, this guard's strength surpasses the red-robed guardian.
'I must power up if I want to beat this creature. I must!'
