CLANNNNG CLANNNNG CLANNNNG

The monster attacked fast and hard. Wanting to finish me as soon as possible.

I defended against them while the meta-scan of it became more and more clear.

I know I should focus on killing it rather than finding out, how it had sensed me. If those powerful monsters sensed me; it would be game over.

Despite that, I am looking at whether it found me through forbidden power or not.

I have come across many such monsters. That I know where to look. The books in the library have helped too.

Roar!

It roared again and came even faster than before, with its claws becoming longer and sharper.

CLANNNNG!

I stopped him with my sword, but not without a cost. I took a step back while the trickle of blood came out of the corner of my lips.

It's been over a month since a monster was able to harm to this degree.
