Rescue  

Bang!

I moved my sword and defended against its claw and used that sledgehammer like a force to cover more distance between it and myself.

It had been ten seconds since it became hostile, and in those ten seconds, it had already taken six swipes at me, which I fortunately able to defend against.

I am completely fine thanks to my armor which was able to suck the majority of the force of the attack and make me safe inside. If it had been my old armor, there would have been fountains of blood on every corner of my body.

Due to the perfect defense, I can have a little breathing space in dealing with the Squirrel, but I still have to defend each of its moves with my sword and not let its claws reach my body; if that happened, then I would be flung like a ragdoll.

"Reeeee!"

It let out a strange scream which is very different from normal Squirrel monsters and came at me like a blur and I moved my blade instinctively.
