45 A Despairing Struggle

Arion had no idea why the Queen Jawfiend needed him to be alive before it could eat him, but he was too preoccupied to think about it.

He didn't charge madly at it but instead waited for it to make a move. Other than not being reckless, he didn't have enough energy to waste by simply charging at it since he knew he would probably get squashed.

*Kreee!*

The Queen Jawfiend let out a low screech that sounded like a mocking screech to Arion. It was as if the Queen Jawfiend was finding it laughable that a puny human was brazen enough to stand before it, ready to take it on.

And the way the other Jawfiends retreated was its way of showing that it wanted to toy with him before killing him.

Otherwise, it would have ordered its children to kill him already...this was what Arion felt.

But Arion's eyes narrowed when he suddenly saw one of its giant legs moving towards him as if wanting to skewer him to the ground.
