Sword God in a World of Magic

Time froze for Alex.

He only looked into the blank, white eyes of the… creature.

Yes, this was a creature, not an animal.

Just looking at it filled Alex with terror.

This thing differed greatly from a normal animal. Alex wasn't sure what exactly it was, but he felt a definite difference.

The green lizard had also felt different from normal animals, and this creature evoked a similar feeling as the lizard.

However, this creature felt far more powerful and far deadlier.

It was like the lizard and the creature were not on the same level.

An eternity seemed to pass as the two beings only looked at each other.

Ssshhh!

Time resumed as the creature suddenly jumped at Alex with ferocious speed. The jump made no sound. One could only hear something fast parting the air, nothing more.

Alex's body reacted instinctively, and Alex let himself fall away from the branch, putting the branch between him and the creature.

BANG!

The creature's left foreleg completely destroyed the thick branch that had been powerful enough to support Alex's full weight for hours.

CRSH!

Alex felt a burning pain assault the back of his thighs as muscles and blood were ripped out.

The creature had torn off a huge part of Alex's thigh.

If the branch hadn't been between them, his legs would have been completely destroyed!

BANG!

Alex's back hit the ground, pressuring his lungs, making it impossible to breathe.

Crsh!

The silent sound of wood being crushed could be heard as the creature used its long claws to stick to the tree.

Right now, Alex lay on the ground, not being able to breathe. His right thigh had a gigantic gash in it.

Meanwhile, the creature stopped in the tree and looked at Alex.

Then, it jumped again.

Alex's mind fell into chaos.

For a seemingly long time, his mind couldn't conjure up any rational thoughts as he tried to find a way out of this situation.

The distance between Alex and the creature reduced rapidly as the creature opened its mouth, filled with long, terrifying teeth.

When Alex saw the teeth, only two thoughts appeared in his head.

The first thought was: Protect!

Alex's hands stretched towards the creature in a futile effort to defend himself.
