As the blade met the creature's neck, there was a sickening crunch as the sharp edge sliced through flesh and bone. The creature's head, now slice in two, tumbled through the air before landing at Viana's feet with a grotesque thud. Its elongated neck, also sliced cleanly in two, twitched spasmodically on the ground, sending shivers down Kevin's spine.
A chorus of roars echoed through the corridor as the creature writhed in agony, its remaining limbs thrashing wildly. Despite the searing pain, it managed to retract its other two elongated limbs, but the severed neck remained stretched.
Kneeling with the stretched neck dangling over his shoulder, Kevin surveyed the scene, carefully assessing the situation. With a determined focus, he slid the limp neck down from his shoulder and retrieved his knife, readying himself for whatever lay ahead.
