Clyde was thrown into the ground and hit it hard. He could feel pain spread through his entire body the moment he crashed. For several seconds he just lay there, unable to move as dust and debris continued falling around him.
He was worried that the impact had caused more damage than he could handle.
But after a few moments, the pain subsided. Clyde slowly pushed himself up.
His body hurt, but nothing felt seriously damaged. His bones were intact and he could still move his limbs normally.
"That wasn't as bad as I thought," he muttered.
Clyde pushed himself off the ground and jumped back onto his feet. A cloud of dust still hung around him, partially obscuring his surroundings.
He looked toward the place where the monster was before.
The creature now collapsed on one of the floating platforms. Its massive body lay motionless among the ruins. Its head had been burned, and Samuel's spear embedded deep inside its forehead.
Clyde stared at the corpse for several seconds.
