Kron ran for where the human hadn’t come up while the crimson-eyed kelpie galloped toward me.
I was actually glad I was getting another shot at one of these. The last time it hit me in my nuts was a fluke. The only reason I survived was because of my good armor and skillful party members working together to save me. So, if I was going to get it to strike me down there, I needed to be in control of how and where. To do that, I needed an aura redirecting skill. However, I’d never heard of an aura skill that specifically redirected an attack. Then again, I’d never heard of a dodge tank until I recovered my past life’s memories, either.
If I could create such an ability, this would be the time to do it!
I couldn’t approach the giant dark pony from the front. This meant I’d have to do it like the rogues do.
Once the mare neared me, I bolted towards it. The creepy horse reared up to attack, but I hadn’t slowed down. Instead, I repeated the move I did when I retrieved my blades and skidded across the ground only, this time, I zipped between the giant horse’s two hind legs. Once I cleared them, I jumped to my feet and attacked its knees.
The kelpie screeched in pain as my swords slashed into its aura protected flesh. Almost on reflex, it kicked out toward me with both legs. I Dangerous Dodged, jumping away just enough. As it rushed by me, I stabbed Blood into its back leg.
