Ivan was shamefully pulled along like a powerless toddler being bullied by an adult. He struck the boss monster's arms with the most force his muscles could generate, but the effort felt like nothing more than an annoying pat.
The monster was angered by the futile fighting. It leapt forward and high, travelling towards Rock Mountain. Ivan was held firmly, and he collided with the branches of the high-placed tree canopies without falling from the monster's grip.
Ivan crashed hard onto the unforgiving mountain rock. He groaned as his muscles and nerve receptors were too weak to sustain the immense pain. The hulking creature, still holding him hostage, quickly scaled to the flat summit of the mountain.
On the mountain peak, there were a number of three-foot-tall rocks. The monster threw a punch to Ivan's face which connected with brutal force.
"Ouu!" he groaned, helpless and heaped on the ground.
