"Take this!" he screamed, his palm slamming on the ground.
A jagged spike of ice then bursted from the earth with a loud
*Crack!
Shooting upwards like a spear, aiming directly at the charging beast. The ice glinted subtly, fast and sharp, as it made its way towards the beast.
But before it could hit, a second one moved in from his side, closing in on Verhedyn's blind spot.
"Verhedyn, dodge!" Ophelia shouted, her voice sharp and urgent as her eyes locked onto the incoming threat which was an arm already mid-swing towards Verhedyn.
Verhedyn ducked instinctively as soon as he heard Ophelia's voice.
*BANG!
But the beast still hit him.
The massive arm of the beast struck him across the shoulder, sending jolts across his body.
But fortunately, just before the impact, Verhedyn managed to coat his shoulder in a shield of hard ice—thin, yet strong enough to absorb 'some' of the force inflicted on him.
*Crack!
Yet the shield cracked under the pressure.
