[ Fear immunity: activated ]

 With that message on
the red panel, my body relaxed, all the tension generated by fear 10 seconds
ago was gone, I was completely calm in the face of that situation.

 Staring at me with
her emerald green eyes, there was the giant beast, her sharp fangs protruding
from her mouth, causing her saliva to flow through them, her ears had tips,
which appeared to be those of an elf, a fictional species present in fairy
tales. fairy, her two arms were thick like an oak trunk, which, small thorns
emerged from her flesh, her material seemed to be made of bones, but they
sparkled in the light of that room, in each hand she had 5 fingers, no, 5 claws
each, sharp as knives, eager to cut, whether flesh or bones, their skin a
greenish hue pulled into a yellow, reminiscent of an orc, with the difference
that it had a huge horn on its forehead.

As if waiting for me to make the first move, I was only met
with that hostile gaze.

Reaching into my pocket for the silver dagger, I feel the
light and thin blade given by the said Silver Queen.

 When taking it out
and holding it, the beast begins to show movement, looking around, as if
analyzing all the components in that room. Taking advantage of the beast's
"distraction" by focusing on the environment, I decide to attack
almost immediately, holding the dagger in a position that would be possible to
stab, I run towards it.

 “The body is too big,
it must not be able to react in time” – a foolish thought from someone
inexperienced, someone who should have paid more attention and had more
patience.

When approaching the huge being, only a shadow can be seen,
and at the same instant, I feel as if my stomach was completely torn apart by
the huge clenched fist, it was a direct attack, by irony of fate, I was thrown
straight into the center of the room where the cube was drawn on the floor.

The shortness of breath caused by such an attack was
agonizing, a pain as if my ribs were puncturing my lungs to breathe, all from
one miserable punch.

As a popup, 3 different panels appeared in front of me, but
I couldn't afford it to look away from the battle, one flinch and that would be
the end of Mephew.

 This time, the beast
decided to go straight to me, noticing my visibly critical condition, using its
extreme speed, it moved like a flash across the room, with its claws ready to
cut my neck, however...

 "Creck" -
His claw just hit the ground. Beside the huge crater that had formed, I was the
one who had instinctively thrown myself to dodge at the sight of the attack.

 “I…could I see it?” –
in disbelief at such a feat, I didn't take the chance to stick the dagger in
his neck, I was distracted in surviving instead of fighting.

 Noticing that its
attack had not reached its prey, the beast soon jumped back, creating distance
to avoid the dagger, definitely, that being thought only of fighting and
surviving, the strongest would survive that clash. Realizing that its trump
card, speed, had been surpassed, the beast jumps to one of the pillars, going
to another, and so on, creating a zig-zag around the room, its shadow formed an
afterimage, which appeared to form a cobweb.

 Meanwhile, in the
middle of the room, my eyes just rotated following the movement, something that
was once impossible to see was now as simple as following a fly. The “orc”,
thinking he had tricked me, jumps towards me with full speed and his mouth
open, ready to snap my head off.

 "Too
slow..." - swinging my hand holding the dagger, the body next to the
monster's head is thrown forward thanks to the force of inertia.

 The cut was so quick
and clean, the blood started to splash and the head hit the floor, the blood
had a curiously green color, something that had never been seen by me before,
until that moment.

 “???” A grunt came
from the severed head, only to die.

[ Vogold has been killed ]

 [ Temporary statuses

 [ Claim rewards? ]

 The panel pops up
again, though, before I can read it – “Bonk” – it makes my body clatter to the
floor.

"It's... getting... dark..."
