The red-eyed spider monster began to sense a human's presence nearby. Ethan jumped backward, dodging in time to keep the spider from crashing onto him.
The monster's sudden appearance sent a rush of adrenaline through him.
He summoned his sword instantly, ready to face the boss monster head-on.
If I can defeat it, I can save that girl.
It was easy to imagine, but doing it was another story.
Ethan had to leap fast to the side to avoid a spray of acid that nearly hit his leg.
Its attacks are fast. I still can't read its pattern.
The spider didn't stop, shooting more acid blobs to try and immobilize him.
Ethan dodged every shot, jumping again and again until he was circling the creature.
Between dodges, he swung his sword sideways, slashing a crimson arc across the red-eyed spider.
The attack landed on its left side, making it screech in pain. Ethan had gained some momentum.
He jumped back, landing near the edge of the room, where the monster's HP bar was fully visible.
