The distance between Lucas and Roan was quite near but the monster's claws and tail were already near Roan's neck.
That eerie broken smile that hung over that gorilla's face chilled Lucas's heart.
For a moment, Lucas's golden eyes and those creepy dark eyes of the monster stared at one another without making a concession.
Lucas's mind processes various scenarios. His eyes locked on Roan whose body turned limp with a pale expression hanging on his face.
Eventually, a sigh escaped from Lucas's lips. Deciding his next course of action, as if given up on the situation and feeling no way out, Lucas threw up his sword into the sky.
The blade of the sword soaring in the sky spun in the air around the axis. With no armament in hand, Lucas raised his hand to surrender.
The gorilla monster squealed in happiness. While wondering how to use this opportunity and sabotage the hostage, its eyes glistened as it saw the sword falling.
CLANG!
