His kick landed squarely against its torso, sending it flying backwards and crashing through several structures before slamming into the ground.
Without waiting for even a single second, West followed with his blade already swinging.
SLASH!
The creature was split in half again but this time West felt no relief because he already knew it was pointless.
The two halves twitched before crawling across the ground and reconnecting.
"…Of course."
It stood again completely whole and unharmed before turning fully toward him.
Its attention locked onto West as it made a decision.
West... was a threat... and now, it would eliminate him.
The glowing lines along its arms intensified as it shot towards West at astonishing pace.
West raised his blade at the last moment.
CLANG!
Claws collided with metal and the impact sent a shockwave through the air.
West slid back slightly but held his ground as the creature followed up immediately with another slash.
SHRIIIIIIK!
