Reversal

The smile on Aldric's face instantly froze. A violent gust slammed into him, and he had only enough time to blurt, "What the..." before a massive claw swept across his body.

BOOM!

Aldric was hurled off the ground. His body crashed into the sand and rolled for more than ten meters. The audience immediately erupted into cheers, most of them still thinking this was merely part of the fight. Aldric pushed himself up, blood running from the corner of his mouth, but anger quickly overwhelmed the pain.

"You damn beast..."

He raised his wand, but the Dire Beast was already in front of him. Aldric had only enough time to widen his eyes before a massive foreleg stomped down.

CRACK!

"ARGH!!!"
