Killing the Monster

Boom!

A terrifying shockwave rippled through the dark space, sending tremors that fractured its oppressive stillness. 

Cracks spread across the void, and the once eerie darkness was replaced by the devastation wrought by the sword attack.

Hovering a few feet above the ground, Su Yen maintained a solemn expression, his piercing gaze fixed on the ancient monster.

In the distance, the ancient creature lay sprawled on the ground, a deep gash splitting its massive chest in two.

Yet, the monster ignored its grievous injury, its yellowish eyes locked on Su Yen. "Y-You managed to injure me," it rasped, its voice trembling with disbelief.

When was the last time it had suffered such a wound? The memory eluded it.

Slowly, the monster rose to its feet, its wound beginning to mend at a visible pace. Its aura intensified with each passing moment, radiating a palpable threat.
