Thud.
The guard swung his sword and it parried the tongue away from his face.
But it wasn't over.
Rumble.
The demonic beast with its huge forearms smashed them onto the ground, causing the ground to shake.
That made the guard struggle to be on his feet.
It gave the demonic beast an opportunity to lunge at the guard and get closer to him.
The guard swiped his sword at the demonic beast, unleashing a chilling slicing wave at it.
Thud.
At such a close distance, the slicing wave hit but it only managed to freeze the tough hide of the demonic beast.
Shadows of the demonic beast's huge forearm appeared on the face of the guard when the demonic beast raised its arms and tried to slam down onto him.
The guard closed his eyes and held his breath.
In a moment of desperation, he raised his sword up horizontally above his head, trying to block the blow from the demonic beast.
Splatter.
Thankfully, the blow from the demonic beast didn't materialize.
