I Became a Gallery Newbie Beloved by Transcendents

The one-eyed beast thrust the spears it held in both hands toward me.

Its trajectory was swift, but not impossible to deflect.

The crimson spear shot forward in a straight line but suddenly twisted to the right.

I twisted my arm sharply and struck it head-on with my sword.

Clang!

The creature’s arm, along with the spear, was sent soaring upward.

An opening.

I swung my greatsword, Carnavalt, horizontally.

The blade, rushing toward the one-eyed creature’s waist, tore through its flesh with a sickening sound.

But I couldn’t cleave it in half in a single stroke.

I felt no disappointment—this was expected. I had never anticipated slicing it cleanly in one go.

I closed in from the left and drove the Bloodstained Dagger into its shoulder.
