An Extra’s POV

"GUWAAAHHHHH!!!"

The pained screech of the Serocis pierced the air.

It was deafening—unbelievably so. The ground rattled as a testament to its agony, and the air shook in response to its cry.

It was obvious that this creature had never experienced a sensation this vile.

Corrosive saliva dripped from its open jaws, and it instantly snapped at Adonis, rushing towards him to rip his body to pieces.

"Flare!" Adonis yelled.

Instantly, the area was engulfed with blinding light, enough to completely stun the Serocis. Of course, that meant the golden-haired lad couldn't properly see as well.

Still, even if you didn't account for his array of Skills, he had memorized the position of the beast and predicted the trajectory it would take.

Thanks to this, he bounced off the air with yet another spin and coated his blade with more intense light.

~FWISH!~

In yet another perfect strike, Adonis cut down yet another stinger.

"G-GUROOOOAAAHH!"

At this point, the emotions of the Serocis shifted from pain and rage to pain and fear.

It darted back, its instinct instantly telling of a horrid fate that awaited if it advanced without any assurance of success.

~FSHIII~

Hot steam rose from its seared injuries as the remnant heat caused by burning light kept the fresh wound stinging.

Once the light dulled, Adonis and the Serocis returned to normal view.

The two severed stingers of the Monster occupied the floor close to the human, while the Serocis was surrounded by its vile blood and pungent drool.

Both sides were unmoving, clearly wary of the other in some way.
