His laughter was cut short.
In the time it took for him to swing down, hammering the fox into the ground, then blink, he suddenly felt himself lifted off his feet, a powerful force driving into his chest and throwing him into the air.
His breath was ripped from him as his eyes widened.
The Fox, having sprung from the ground and driven into him at speeds he could hardly fathom, reached out, its maw snapping over his leg. It failed to break past his shell, yet latched onto him nonetheless.
It violently swung its head in the opposite direction, all the momentum that had been throwing Uriel away suddenly concentrated onto his body. His shell cracked, and his organs shuddered from the impact.
BANG!
Following the beast's swing, his body was slammed into the ground where he had hammered it only moments prior.
But the Fox wasn't done.
