Stalemate

Leon charged at the giant spider with his sword in hand.

The giant spider noticed Leon's approach and, without hesitation, swung the blade-like edge of its foreleg.

Clang!

The Holy Sword struck the blade, and the dull crash rang in Leon's ears. The instant they collided, Leon frowned, his expression turning grave.

This giant spider was incredibly strong!

Leon had put everything into that strike, intending to send it flying. He had not held back; the force behind it could have cleaved through a hill, yet the giant spider had blocked it with such ease.

I really can't underestimate it. I need to stay focused.
