"Die, you bloody animal!!" Nile screamed as she threw both arms forward.
Two sharp bolts of lightning tore through the air and slammed straight into the Skavvern's chest. The electricity pierced its skin, burning dark lines into it, but the creature barely staggered.
It laughed. Then it moved.
The Skavvern lunged at Nile in a blur, closing the distance between them almost instantly. Its tail whipped around again and again, slicing through the space where her head had been moments before.
Nile gritted her teeth and kept moving. She ducked. She twisted. She rolled away, making sure to avoid every strike.
Each tail strike came fast and heavy, slamming into stone and cracking it apart when it missed her. Her heart pounded as she barely stayed ahead of it.
If this thing had two tails, she knew she would already be dead.
She slipped low, rolling between the Skavvern's legs just as the tail cracked down behind her. The ground exploded where it hit.
