Realizing the fight had become far more dangerous now that the beast had regained its senses, Kelly steadied himself.
Without wasting another second, he turned and sprinted toward its blind side, hoping to exploit the loss of its left eye.
However, the beast gave him no such opportunity.
As if it had already anticipated his intentions, it launched into a relentless offensive before Kelly had even covered half the distance between them.
Ignoring its blindness entirely, the wolf pinpointed the exact spot where Kelly would land.
BOOM!
With a powerful tackle, it sent him flying once more.
While Kelly was still suspended helplessly in midair, the beast refused to give him even a moment to recover. Flames ignited around its claws as it slashed diagonally across his body, carving a fresh wound opposite the one already marring his chest.
In the same motion, it slammed him into the ground with overwhelming force.
"AKHHH!"
Kelly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
