Yes! The strike succeeded, drawing black blood from its abdomen! It stumbled backwards and allowed Nick to flee unimpeded. There were a couple others on his way but he weaved through them without much problem. The exit was there, it was close!

But alas, he was cut off. Another creature blocked him off, coming at Nick from the left with a loud growl. It swung its blade but Nick moved out of the way at the last moment, his side grazed by the weapon. He felt pain, but there was no time to check. The creature in front of him was the only barrier from the exit, and doubtless the other creatues behind him were catching up.

No! He was so close, this wretched experiment had to ruin it all! Was this gonna be it for Nicholas Gallagher? Dying not even a day passing in this new world? No, he had to get home! This was a second chance at life provided to him! He cannot let it go to waste! Fear boiled into anger which then turned into action. With fire in his eyes and adrenaline in his blood, Nick let out a scream and charged at the creature in his way.

He had no plan to attack though, Nick was going to wait for the creature to make the first move. If it goes for another swing, which Nick believed it probably would, he would swat it away with his blade and use the opening to seize the creature by the neck and hips before lifting it into the air and then throwing it at its equally wretched brothers. Nick would summon all his strength for this action. He would need to, he was not falling down here!

Should his plan work, Nick would resume his course to the exit. To safety.
