Ross watched his hands tremble both from the terror he felt and the attack dealt by the construct.
'Damnit! How do I get out of this situation? I know the fear is being induced in me, yet I can't stop myself from shaking. How am I supposed to fight at full strength if my body won't perform at full strength?!'
The thought frustrated him beyond measure. Shifting his gaze from his trembling hands, he looked at the slowly approaching monster with clenched teeth and quivering eyes.
He then took deep breaths to steady his trembling body and managed to stand again. Afterwards, he channelled mana through the great sword with more effort than necessary.
After managing to direct his weapon at the monster, Ross willed himself to move despite every cell in his body screaming at him to run.
With a roar of defiance, he charged at the monster, set his sword ablaze, and swung in a wide arc with both arms. The blade of the heavy sword sliced through the air as it approached the creature.
