A loud thud echoed through the misty streets as Daru found himself smashing back-first into the young redwood at the side.
'Damn,' he cursed, half-impressed, half-in-disbelief.
He is currently level 35.
While the gap was fifteen levels, he was used to fighting higher-leveled swordspawns.
This was the first time he fully felt the effects of the sheer difference in attributes.
Even the difference against Lyon, the Sunblade Lion King was not this huge.
The Grove Sentinel was able to take a fourth of his total hitpoints with just a single clash of swords.
Had he not managed to angle his tachi to block, he would've undoubtedly died right then and there.
Daru quickly stood up, rolling to the side and narrowly avoiding the follow-up attack.
He then bolted towards the exit of the Kahsar Novice Grove.
As much as he wanted to engage the Grove Sentinel who was chasing him, it might mean forfeiting both his soul and a chance to fight a mythical swordspawn in the future.
