I swallowed the scream, the grunting of pain that threatened to escape my throat, stood again, slowly.
With only one hand, I didn’t have the leverage to really swing the Halberd. I had to hold it towards the top, near the blade, which meant having less reach, having to get closer.
Just… be very careful where you stick that hand.
When I was close enough, I drew the blade back and raked it just below the base of his tail. Where his asshole would be if he had human anatomy. Easiest place for me to reach, with him crouched down like he was.
This is incredibly risky but I love it.
Dust billowed and Leviathan reacted instantly, swiped with one claw, fell onto his side when the damage to his buttocks and the hampered mobility of his tail screwed with his ability to control the movement of his lower body.
Yesss
His claw swipe went high. His afterimage was broken up by the the wall above the door, but enough crashed down in front of and on top of me to throw me back out of the shelter, into the toppled shelter door.
There’s a lot of in and out in this chapter.
I was pushed under the water, the Halberd slipping from my grip.
Welp.
