Chapter 180: Until the Heart Beats (7)
The enemy was utterly relentless, to the point where it was hard to believe he was already on the brink of death. His magic sent chills down their spines countless times, and both Ihan and Raq were forced to tumble across the ground over and over.
...Ironically, the monster became its strongest only at the very end.
It was as if he had undergone a grand awakening.
Like he was burning his very soul to keep fighting, he lunged at them with unyielding tenacity.
However—
Thunk!
—victory belonged to them.
In Ihan's hands were a sword broken in half and its shattered blade. Although the blade had snapped during the battle, it had ultimately pierced the monster's heart, while the broken sword plunged into its throat.
There was still a risk that it might regenerate, but—
Drip...
The monster no longer had the magical energy to use its spells. This time, it had poured everything into the fight, and its body was beginning to dissolve.
Fwoosh.
