A burst of red light suddenly erupted from Adrian's long sword. The red light instantly exploded, forcing the assailant to retreat. This momentary reprieve allowed Adrian to catch his breath. If not for this, he would have been no match for the opponent.
However, the creature was not a weakling. Although Adrian managed to repel it, it paused only for a moment before lunging at Adrian again as it let out a sky-shaking roar.
"Grrrraaagggh!"
Adrian could discern that this creature was not human.
