Lancet covered his face as the shockwave from the collision poured over him, whipping his blond hair and his uniform back.
He peeked above his hand just in time to see Astensia charge straight into the giant furred monster, the Sasquatch.
Big Foot brought its massive, boulder-sized fists down in a move that resembled a double-hammer. Astensia made a pivot on her left heel, angling her heavy golden shield upward.
CLANG!
The impact rang like a massive church bell. The stone beneath Astensia's boots instantly shattered, cratering a foot deep. She gritted her teeth, her muscles straining as she parried the brute force of the Grand-ranked terror.
"You are greatly strong, as expected!" Astensia spoke over the beast's roar. "But monsters like you always have no balance!"
"Hahh!" She pushed her shield outward, throwing the massive arms and as a result, the entire beast off balance.
But before she could follow up with a strike, a haunting, overlapping laugh echoed to her right.
