An Extra’s POV

Rey hung nigh lifelessly as he took one final glance on his allies before Dagon turned his body so he could only see its hideous face.

Once it saw the beastly grin on the creature's face, Rey already knew there was no hope.

No... he already knew that, but... something within him just snapped.

'You were right, Ater...'

If only he had him by his side at this moment, perhaps the fight would have gone a lot differently.

'No. What would he have done? There's no way an S-Tier would beat an SS-Tier...' Rey's thoughts trailed as he closed his eyes.

Throughout the battle he had considered summoning Beasts to fight, but it wouldn't have worked either way. Even if the space around them was stable, and his Skills weren't being affected, all of his Summons would be Level 1 Fodder who would never be able to match the Divine Beast.

If he summoned a Divine Beast, it would only escalate the problem, since both creatures would desire to kill Rey--for various reasons, but still...

Rey couldn't control a Divine Beast, so it was useless.

In the end, there was no one to save him at this precarious hour.

'It's all my fault...' He felt his body grow numb and cold, and the rate of his heartbeat slowed down considerably.

It seemed, without the buffs aiding him, he was going to die without the Divine Beast even lifting a finger.

"GRRRRRRR...."

... Not that the horrid creature would allow such an end.

Dagon raised its second hand, its claws gleaming dangerously as it licked its scaly lips while staring intensely at Rey.

It desired to end Rey's life itself, and would most likely gain another Level as a result.

'It's over...'

This was far from the future that Rey envisioned for himself, but it was indeed what he was dealt with.

Sadly, he was going to die.

~SQUELCH!~

**************

Dagon's claws went through Rey's chest, his weak body offering no resistance at all. It ripped out his heart, causing blood to gush out in the process.

The crimson stains on the Divine Beast turned into nothing but particles and were burned away, while the rest of the liquid splattered on the ground.
