Marden's expression turned ruthless as he swiped his hand in an upward, diagonal angle. An arc of blood materialized in the air and, in the next moment, cleanly severed the giant bull's head from its body.
With a soft thud, the Mana Core-level beast's head fell to the ground, the light in its eyes slowly growing dim. Meanwhile, its body lost balance and collapsed shortly after. It twitched for a moment or two before ultimately falling still.
Marden exhaled a heavy breath and finally lowered his hand. His appearance was a little haggard as he had to battle this powerful beast. But in the end, he came out on top.
He was currently inside a vast underground chamber. It was dimly lit, and the air was thick with the scent of earth, blood, and decay. Near his feet lay the corpse of the giant bull he had just slain.
