The moment that Nightstalker had been distracted by the prey in front of it, it had left itself open to yet another attack.
Either it could press on and try to attack its target despite putting itself in the direct path of an attack that could do it a lot of harm, or it could give up on its prey so that it could avoid that type of harm.
Nightstalker was usually the hunter and rarely ever the prey.
It had not been so cornered before in a way that left it with little to do.
It was always that which would be preying upon others as it stalked its prey and would cut off its route of escape by making use of ambushing tactics and other methods it had been using for the sake of killing them instantly or injuring them enough to weaken them.
It had usually been the one to create situations where it was at an advantage.
It was rarely in a position where it would be at a disadvantage.
It had been careful each time it encountered anything that could be hostile or a potential threat.
