Fight or Flight.

Those are the two responses that humans could give in a precarious situation.

Once you're rushing with adrenaline, your body automatically wishes to protect itself, so it gives you those two choices.

Fight… to survive and overcome the threat.

Or

Flight… to escape and live to fight another day.

However, there was one other response the body could give to an overwhelming stimulus of danger.

… Paralyzing stillness!

The body being unable to move despite the overpowering danger that was currently in front of you.

That was the kind of position that Rey was in.

His body refused to listen to him as he watched the Kobold Boss raise his hand and bring it down.

~SWOOOSHH!~

The sharp claws gleamed as they sliced through the air, ready to make contact with Rey's flesh and dice his skin.

At that point, despite being unable to move, Rey desperately sought out answers within himself.

'I don't want to die! I don't want to die!'

With this, his brain went into overdrive, barely giving him enough time to think before his body would be turned to mincemeat.

As the claw neared him—a mere inch from his face— a switch clicked.

"[Greater Warrior's Mantle]!"

~CLANG!~

The claw of the Boss was sent flying back as a result of the resistance it got from its target.

"G-GURR..?!" Recoiling from the failed attack, the Boss Monster glared at Rey in confusion.

That strike just now was supposed to have ended it all.
