[517] Like a flash of lightning himself.

Like a flash of lightning, Alan suddenly moved to the side and caused the Raven to be in distress, its eyes darted everywhere to find him, but before it could fully locate him, his spear was a like a violent snake ready to bite, or in this case, stab its neck.

It weaved through the air in an unnatural pattern, like it could bend and successfully struck the raven. 

However, in the nick of time, the bird caught the spearhead with its beak. It refused to let go and dragged Alan closer, to limit the use of his spear further.

It was planning to munch on the spear, But Alan recalled it into his inventory to be free from the raven's grasp. He summoned it again, and continued in his assault.

One, two, three strikes, one after the other, aimed at killing the beast in one attack. But the damn thing was fast even on the ground. It turned its body in unexpected ways and dodged the strikes.
