Blades, Blood And Hunger

Alister's body surged with mana, his muscles rippling under his black-and-white scales.

The energy around him pulsed, sending waves of golden mana into the air as his dragon form flexed with every movement.

His eyes were locked onto Lysandra, the Blade Dancer Zombie, her red and blue glowing eyes fixed on him.

[Notice! You are in a weakened state due to hunger.]

Alister swung his claws to counter, but she moved like a blur, vanishing from his sight for a second before reappearing at his flank. His claws merely slashed through an afterimage.

He barely had time to react as her sword cut through the air. The blade sliced across his side, sparks flying as it met his scales.

The impact of the strike sent a jolt of pain through his body, but while his thick dragon hide was sliced through, the cut wasn't deep.

'What!?'

Alister's eyes widened in shock, then instantly narrowed, wanting to see the sword's status window.
