With a rumbling crack, the doors slammed shut, vibrating with glowing glyphs before a reverberating bang occurred; the exit and route of escape vanished.
Ryuji's black eyes darted across the battlefield before snapping back to the turtle. His body became a blur, and he stopped right in front of the creature.
"Hah!"
An explosion of smoke engulfed the room as a cut appeared on the turtle's shell. Before it could turn its head towards Ryuji, who rolled under its head, his axe clipping its shell with a brutal blow, the damage causing it to stumble slightly.
"Come on, I'm not done yet!"
Ryuji's body ducked under its snapping jaws once more. He twisted the axe and chopped the scaly feet, leaving a large gaping wound with thick blood oozing from the grey flesh, leading to the turtle's loud cry.
With a rapid movement, its head slammed the chin of Ryuji, sending him airborne, the fluttering of his limbs blocking his chest with his garnet-bladed axe.
