"No, you won't pass me." The ox roared and swung his hammer swiftly.
Unfortunately, Nathan was one step faster this time. He spun and looped around the ox while simultaneously avoiding the hammer.
The ox didn't care about the potential familiar anymore. If Nathan was allowed to get close to their summoner, there was no telling what would happen.
Hence, the ox chose to throw his body into Nathan, slamming him into the wall.
"Kh." Nathan gritted his teeth as they crashed into the wall. He slammed Nathan to the opposite side of the room while falling to the ground himself.
The panther realized this was a chance. Since the ox had sacrificed himself to bait those familiars, the panther could take advantage of this situation to actually kill Nathan.
To their surprise, Nathan didn't summon his familiar, even though he knew this was the perfect moment. Had he summoned his familiar like Fenrir or Nidhogg, they could have bitten the ox's neck and killed him.
