With not time to breathe a sigh of relief Eldarin held onto the sword with grim determination, the blade sawing into the monster's skull with every shake of it's head. However it also loosened the sword's hold, and with not wish to be left with only a torch and his magic for weapons, Eldarin pulled back on the sword in conjunction with a head shake, sending him soaring through the air. With only a brief roll to regain his footing Eldarin whirled and faced the creature once more. With burns and a bleeding skull, this battle was already over. The only question was if Eldarin could survive long enough for the thing to figure out it was dying.
