Escape

The giant Mantis's scythe slashed down upon Jayce with terrifying swiftness. Caught off guard, he failed to react in time. The searing pain that followed was indescribable as the slash carved a gruesome path from his left shoulder down to his waist. The wound wasn't immediately fatal, but it unleashed a torrent of agony that coursed through his entire body.

As Jayce gritted his teeth against the pain, a barrage of arrows suddenly whizzed through the air, aiming for the monstrous Mantis. Only one arrow found its mark, while the others bounced harmlessly off its tough exoskeleton.

Jayce, despite the agony, seized the opportunity presented by the Mantis's momentary distraction. His right hand clutched his dagger, and he struck with swift precision, targeting the joint where the monstrous arm transformed into a lethal scythe. The metallic shriek that ensued echoed in the forest as his dagger struck true.
