SLASH—BOOM!
"..."
Verc frowned as he cut down another dark spear headed at him and it exploded in front of his face.
The heat from the blast licked at his skin, and the acrid smell of burnt mana filled his nostrils for the hundredth time. The concussive force rattled his teeth, but he didn't let his stance waver. He couldn't afford to.
'I can't get a proper look at that monster.'
He grumbled internally as he lightly jumped and rotated his body to the right to dodge a shadow spike—TSIIIK!
The shadow that was as sharp as blades grazed him, whistling past his ear with a cold, murderous intent. It slammed into the floor where his head had been a millisecond ago. Because of [Black Scales]; Verc wasn't cut, but he could feel the vibration of the impact through the stone. The obsidian-like protection on his shoulder was starting to look dull, chipped away by the constant friction of near-misses and direct hits.
Their fight was now ongoing for a couple of hours now!
