An Extra’s POV

That last blow did it.

~BOOOOM!~

In a rush of wind and unstoppable force, Adonis sprang forth like an ascending meteor. His body became shrouded in brilliant light as he charged straight for the beast.

He ripped into the beast's mouth and burst out through the other end, searing its body with enough pressure to cause blood to splash all over.

By the time he made his triumphant exit, it was already too late.

… The beast was dead.

Blood spilled all over the ground as Adonis stood over the creature's corpse, his tired body hunched over a little in an attempt to display exhaustion.

Despite how wretched he looked, covered in the vile blood of the enemy, he smiled in victory.

"I did it…" He muttered, still feeling the sting of the battle—or, at least pretending to.

Everything was perfectly set up to lead to this moment.

"I really did it!"

"You really surprised me, Sebas." Britta beamed, calling Adonis by his code name.

She handed a potion over to him to help him recover from his injuries, but he rejected it and professed that he would be fine after a long rest.

However, after her insistence—especially with how wretched and borderline miserable he looked—he finally agreed to the potion.

As he took it, Adonis of course felt nothing.

The potion's quality was too low to really do anything to him, and his injuries weren't really caused by the Monster, but through injuring himself with [Grand Light Magic].

He activated his Passive Healing ability, however, and he was good as new in no time.
