She had expected it to kill the monster instantly but the monster merely wriggled his back, as if a tick was bothering it.
The blade latched itself on the monster's skin and the monster turned to Alice with a threatening look, wanting to rid of the nuisance pestering and avoiding it from letting him have his revenge in peace.
Seeing his sister in trouble, Ryan staggered to the monster and meant to pull back the dagger with all his might to ram it again in the monster's back.
However, something strange happened when his fingers closed around the dagger's hilt. The small blue light pulsing in the dagger, roared to life as if it had been fed raw fire. As Ryan watched in daze, the bluish fire spread through the dagger all the way to the tip. The moment it touched the monster's back, the fire sizzled through the back, and spread through the monster's body like cobwebs made of light blue strands.
