The Ratmorph monster's eyes glinted with menace as it caught onto Alan.
He had dared to steal its prey, and now the monster was consumed with frenzy as it charged toward him, its sharp claws poised to strike.
Alan rushed furiously away from the beast, his weapon still out of reach. The cramped cave left him with little space to maneuver, and the dim light only made it harder to see.
Rose leaped into action, placing herself in front of the incoming monster to defend Alan from its attack.
Deimos, noticing Alan's predicament, sprang into action and retrieved the hammer.
"Alan, I have your hammer. Come towards me quick." He shouted.
"I will cover you. Rose, keep the monster busy for 2 seconds," Rudr said, seeing the situation they were in, he started to cast another spell.
The Ratmorph monster's claws clashed with Rose's saber, sending sparks to fly in the dimly illuminated cave.
She skillfully deflected the attack, but the beast resumed its onslaught.
Suddenly, thick roots of trees erupted from the earth and wrapped themselves around the monster's legs, locking it in place.
With the monster's legs entangled by the thick roots, Rose seized the opportunity to strike.
She unleashed another powerful wind slash, this time aiming for the creature's eyes.
The attack reached its mark, causing the monster to cry in anguish and green blood to stream out, painting the cave in horrific hues.

But in retaliation, monster raised its tail and released a toxic gas towards Rose, who was taken off guard and unable to dodge in time.
Green gas quickly engulfed her, and despite her efforts to protect her nose, she swiftly lost consciousness.
Thin green lines emerged on her body as she collapsed to the ground, overpowered by the poison.
"Damn it, she got poisoned, quickly cover Rose!" Rudr shouted.
Ratmorph's eyes flashed with hunger as it raced towards its prey. Saliva dripped from its razor-sharp fangs, and its claws sunk deep into the ground with anticipation.
But before Ratmorph could sink its teeth into the flesh of its fallen prey, a violent impact struck its face.
The force behind the hit came from a staff wielded by Deimos, causing the monstrous beast to fall back and lose its balance, crashing to the ground with a thud.

Ratmorph's eyes locked on Deimos, its gaze pressing down on him and emitting a low growl. With lightning-fast reflexes, the beast charged towards Deimos, but its once-impressive speed was now diminished.
Deimos nimbly sidestepped the monster's right claw strike and deflected it with his staff.
Seizing the opportunity, he tightened his grip on the staff with both hands and executed a graceful 360 spin before unleashing a powerful blow to the monster's face, sending it reeling backward.

With a swift motion, he pulled a knife from his belt and aimed it at the monster's lone remaining eye. The blade glinted menacingly in the faint light as it zipped through the air with lethal accuracy.
The monster's head jerked backward and let out a blood-curdling shriek as the knife found its mark, sinking deep into its eye socket.
It writhed in misery, its once-ferociousness now reduced to sad whimpers.

Deimos rushed forward and stabbed the monster in the head with his remaining knife rapidly, taking advantage of the creature, who was on his last legs.
He began stabbing furiously, not realizing it was already dead.

Finally, following the notifications, Deimos calmly rose up from the spot, leaving the monster's lifeless body on the ground.
"What! What!" Rudr shouted.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing right now.
How could a mere level one person slay a level five monster? Despite being wounded, the monster was still a level 5. This isn't a child's game.
This person's skills were definitely not what a level 1 person should have.
"Rudr quickly give me the healing potion,"
"Oh yes, take this."
Rudr's hands moved, and he summoned the small vial of healing potion from the system.
He watched Alan's pained expression soften with relief as he handed over the potion, the cork popping off with a satisfying sound.
Alan swiftly made Rose drink the potion. They saw the color returning to Rose's cheeks, a sign that the potion was working its magic.
"Well, let's see the lo…
Rudr's words were cut short when he felt a searing pain in his back. He spun around in horror as he saw Deimos gripping the hilt of a knife buried deep through his skin.
The air crackled with magic as Rudr prepared to cast a spell, but before he could use it, Deimos moved with lightning speed.
In a single fluid motion, he withdrew the knife from Rudr's back and plunged it deep into Rudr's neck.
Rudr watched in disbelief as Deimos licked the blade clean, his eyes gleaming with manic delight.
The last thing Rudr felt was the chill of death creeping over him, as his body slumped to the ground, his life's blood soaking into the soil.
"Y…YOU! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?"
Alan charged forward, his hammer in hand, his eyes flashing with rage.
His muscles tensed as he unleashed a mighty swing, but Deimos was too quick for him. With a deft duck and roll, he evaded the attack effortlessly.
In a flash, he produced a staff from out of nowhere and lunged forward, aiming straight for Alan's vulnerable throat.
Alan coughed as the staff struck his throat, the blow briefly taking his breath away.
Deimos wasted no time in charging at him, his moves swift and lethal. He drove the knife deep into Alan's chest with a quick lunge, the knife penetrating into flesh with ease.
Alan gasped, his eyes wide with shock, as blood spurted from his mouth. Before he could speak, Deimos struck again, this time aiming for Alan's eyes.
He screamed in agony as the knife slashed through flesh and bone, causing him to slump to the ground.
Deimos stabbed and slashed at Alan's face with demonic glee, the sounds of his laughter reverberating throughout the cave like the devil's own laughter.
