Yuri was thrown high into the air, his arms flailing wildly, as the frost giant brought its club smashing down onto the frozen lake. The icy surface exploded, sending ice, snow, and water spraying in all directions. The werewolf screamed as some of the freezing water burned his skin as if it were acid. Every droplet that touched him felt like molten lava.

His landing was less than graceful as he landed painfully on his arm, rolling and sliding uncontrollably across the fractured ice. Terrified that the floor would give way beneath him, he quickly scrambled to his feet and continued fleeing.

It was easy for Yuri to predict the giant’s attacks since its movements were so sluggish. But each time that the creature struck the ice, it dealt devastating damage to the lake’s surface. If all of the ice was annihilated, Yuri would fall into the sub-zero water and perish within seconds. Remembering the floating corpses trapped in those waters caused him to shiver. He increased his speed, sprinting as fast as he could in a poor attempt to escape the giant’s enormous reach.

Several of the knights had fallen through the ice and into the water. Yuri saw one man was flailing about for a moment, but his clanking armor weighed him down and he quickly sank to his doom. The man probably froze to death before he could drown.

Yuri saw that Archerus was carrying Noah on his back. The magician was unconscious, completely taxed after having used up so much of his energy to conjure magic. The boy winced, realizing that the frost giant was wading through the water towards the group of fleeing adventures. They weren’t moving away fast enough — at this rate, the creature would surely catch up and kill them all.

Skidding to a stop, the werewolf turned to face the frost giant. I have to buy the group time. Licking his lower lip, he exhaled a wisp of chilly mist as he scanned the creature for its weak points. Everything about the giant seemed impenetrable; did this thing even have a weakness?

The goliath swung its spiked club downward once more and Yuri dodged to the side, grunting as he slid away from the crumbling ice. He was certainly running out of places to land, and avoiding the monstrosity’s brutal attacks was a lot harder with less available space.

Yuri suddenly caught sight of the gleaming crystal eyes of the giant. Maybe those could be shattered, but reaching them was nearly impossible. Then the werewolf looked at the club, feeling his heart beginning to race at the idiotic idea that flashed into his mind. Unfortunately, it was the only plan that he had. “Desperation at its finest,” he said, taunting the creature by waving his hands in front of him. “Hey, fat-ass! How is it that you keep missing me? Come on, finish the job!” Can this thing even understand me?

Malyssa, sitting on top of the glacier, raised her eyebrows in surprise at the boy’s bold actions. Intrigued, she leaned forward, gazing at Yuri with profound interest.
