"HUHUHU!" The devil laughed, its body bloodied and bruised but healing.
William spat blood onto the ground and wiped his nose.
The battle had dragged on far longer than he intended, and for one reason alone.
"Come at me, shrimp." He taunted, raising his right hand while his left stayed cocked behind his back.
The devil grinned and suddenly slammed its massive hand into the ground.
A wave of vertigo surged outward, crashing into William like a tidal force.
He didn't panic. Instead, he shut his eyes.
He had already figured it out. Watching the monster or even his surroundings only made the sensation worse. So he chose darkness.
Then he heard it.
William had done exactly what the devil wanted, and seizing the chance, the creature lunged forward.
A hulking figure loomed before him, arm raised, jaws stretched wide in savage anticipation, ready to crush his skull.
But just before the strike could fall—
BOOM
