Seeing its pack members dead, the Alpha howled in fury, a sound that shook the trees. Then, it charged at Scar with terrifying speed.
Scar sidestepped the initial pounce, letting the beast crash into a boulder, shattering the stone into dust. The beast recovered immediately and charged again.
But Scar simply evaded yet again, dancing around the beast's frenzied slashes. His accelerated perception—bolstered by the visor's clarity—easily read the Alpha's telegraphed muscle twitches. He dodged a sweeping claw, ducked under a snapping bite, and backflipped away to create distance, landing in a low crouch.
Then, he calculated the space between him and the Alpha. It was roughly eighteen meters.
Perfect.
He could try out his new skill.
Scar adjusted his grip on his dagger, holding the blade out to his side. He planted his back foot firmly into the earth, anchoring himself. Then he whispered:
"Activate Dash."
