245 Liquid Fire

As the monster's teeth tried to bite his arm away, Arthur hurried to use his barrier. The barrier clashed with the monster's teeth, stalling it long enough for Arthur to pull back. 

The crocodile bit down on empty air and looked at Arthur with hateful eyes. Its eyes began to lose focus as it slumped down, breathing heavily. 

Before Arthur could sense its life fade away, a giant tree branch attacked him like a spear. He jumped upward before it reached him and began running on top of the branch. 

The giant tree's movements were unpredictable but Ruki worked to hinder it. Sadly, her stats were only half of Arthur's stats, making her unable to fight on her own against the tree. 

A branch whipped his way but Arthur did a front flip, avoiding it without losing momentum. He kept running on the tree's branch as his arms were engulfed in flames.
