"Who in their right mind would dare to make this beast angry?" Seraphis thought in her mind. The bleed continues to flow from her injury, her breath hitches as she holds the pain. After a moment later, she finally let her mind at ease and closed her eyes. Yes, she fell to the slumber of her own sleep or perhaps.. faint? "....up, ..ke up, sister, wake up!" A tear fell on her cheek, a sound of a little boy crying while holding his sister body.
The beast earlier was completely distracted by Varian. The lightbulbs that were thrown into the monster's direction earlier was Varian's doing, to keep Seraphis safe. "Shit, i didn't think about what to do now, the beast will catch up to me at this rate!" Varian dashed as fast as he could or he could say that he's risking his life to save Seraphis. "I won't be able to think at this point!" His eyes were darted at a tall streetlamp over the corner where he's heading right now.
Suddenly, a message from the system appeared in front of his eyes.
Quest: Kill the unknown beast
Time: 45 minutes
Penalty if the quest did not complete: Death
Reward: 35 Lumora and a mysterious dagger
"Are you kidding me?!" He gritted his teeth, eyes fulled of anger. But then, he came with a brilliant idea. At the end of the corner where he's heading, there is a stream near the streetlamp, if he could make the monster bend the streetlamp and to the stream. There was a very high possibility that the electric current may landed on the beast's weak point.
"This is crazy." He murmured. When the monster is near him, Varian sped up and taunted the monster behind the streetlamp. The monster felt as if he's mocking him. After that, the monster fell into Varian's trap. The monster rushed to his direction and didn't think of anything else except to eat him alive. BANG! The streetlamp fell, according to his plan but unfortunately, it fell on the wrong place.
"It didn't work?!" As he about to run again, his legs were completely exhausted from the running earlier. An arrow was released from behind the monster's back, it landed on the monster's neck. Even if the monster had the skill to regenerate itself, it must take some time before it able to do that. "Run away from that place!" A man's voice was heard from afar. "Right, this is my chance!" Varian came to that conclusion as he saw the bloods overflowing from the monster's neck.
The streetlamp that fell earlier were completely broken, yes, even the glass that holds the lightbulb was shattered. Without a doubt, Varian picked a random broken glass on the floor. The tip was as sharp as a real knife, perfect for stabbing on slicing any meat. After picking up the thing that he decided to use as a weapon to defeat the beast. He rushed towards the beast's tail and climbed all the way up to his body.
Thanks to the arrow earlier, it seemed like the arrow had a poison in it. That poison is strong enough to make a beast unconscious. Varian's eyes were filled with determination to kill the beast at that time. Would it be a success or not? He knows that he's risking his life to kill this beast and he had only one chance.
Varian began stabbed the monster's neck countless times, no matter how many has he stabbed, he must make sure that the beast is dead. Varian gathered all his strength to stab one more time. This time, the sharp glass piece penetrated deeply in the monster's neck. That's not all, after he blow the last stabbed, he twisted the broken glass to deal as much damage as he can.
After the intense moment, the beast had finally stop breathing. Varian's heart was pounding restlessly. The message from the system appeared again after the quest had been fulfilled saying

"Ha... That was exhausting..." Varian sighed. As he was about to close his eyes after the madness, he heard the voice from a man earlier. "State your name, i have never seen you around here before." While pointing a sword at Varian's right eye.
