"Gruhhhhhhhhh!"
The avianorc's roar momentarily broke my concentration. It immediately launched an attack toward me, so I responded by assaulting it with the branches and roots of the Nerium oleander, and I hurled the fruits at it.
The avianorc easily slashed through the fruits with its claws and wings, almost as if it were playing with each attack. I didn't stop throwing the fruits until there were none left.
Gradually, the toxin from the fruits began to take effect. The avianorc's sharp wings, which it had been using to slash, started to show signs of weakening.
A look of surprise crossed the avianorc's face. It hadn't expected the fruits I threw would have such a significant impact on its body.
I didn't wait for the avianorc to recover from the toxin's effects. Seizing the opportunity, I prepared for a decisive strike.
