Zain stood in the center of the ruined path, sword resting lightly against his shoulder.
His eyes were locked onto the beast-man standing across from him.
The patrol guard flexed his clawed hands. His fangs bared.
His body was lean but powerful, furred limbs covered in jagged muscle and dark armor plating.
His eyes glowed faint red as his stance shifted.
"I warned you," the guard growled.
"This sector is off-limits. You'll regret coming here."
Zain smirked. "You sound like every fool I've crushed."
The Crimson Prowler didn't waste words. He vanished in a blur of speed.
[Razor Dash]
Zain barely tilted his head in time as the claw swiped past his face.
Blood splashed from a shallow cut across his cheek.
Zain's eyes widened slightly. "Fast."
Before he could turn, the beast swirled behind him and struck again.
Claws raked across his back, sending Zain sliding forward from the impact.
The ground cracked beneath his boots.
