Time seemed to slow down, the bolf's jaws coming down, his legs within its mouth, if the jaws closed he would loose both legs, and that was the best case scenario.
And worst of all, there was nothing he could do, he couldn't teleport rapidly in succession, not yet, and he was mid air, even if he wasn't.
I was arrogant, too arrogant, and now I won't even live to pay for it, his face twisted as he felt the jaws snapping down, he could feel teeths already digging into his thighs.
Snap, the jaw snapped in a heartbeat, the stench wafting out, blowing his hair.
But the burst of pain never came, rather he was passing through the bolf's snort, rather the jaws snapped but he had turned ethereal at the last second.
Axel smirked as he fell back, I forgot it could do that, he looked at the Gishiki, the red glow again, signifying ethereal power.
Axel fell to the ground, safe, but the glow didn't last, he had survived the first attack but the bolf wasn't done.
