My body pulls towards the right, the air around me distorts and the adult lion's eyes flash red, jumping towards me. With the sudden attack, the best I can do is bring my spear in front of me, blocking the lion's paw with the body of the polearm. I shove the lion away and prepare to stab its head before another *CLANG*.
My spear stabs into the ground as the lion disappears in front of me. The moment I hear the sound, I prepare myself for the next attack. I glance to my left and in the corner of my eye, I see the cub jumping upwards to my head. I force my body forward, awkwardly falling to the side of my polearm and dodging the cub's attack barely.
I kick at the cub with my right foot, grabbing and pulling the polearm off the ground at the same time. My foot slams into the monster's side but I wince at the pain of my foot hitting a stone monster. Regrettably, the cub barely flinches at my attempt to damage it, and instead, it tries to claw at my foot.
