However, as no mission message appeared, I realized we hadn't completed the quota yet. Lost in this thought, three ostriches suddenly emerged from the rubble. They didn't seem intent on attacking, but possibly in panic, they began running straight towards Ilya. It's worth noting that, despite not being trained fighters, they possessed dangerous natural weapons: sharp beaks and claws on their legs.
(Darn it!) I thought, launching myself towards the monsters.
But still, it would be too late if I didn't act quickly. As these thoughts raced through my mind, the monsters suddenly slowed down. They didn't stop completely, but it was enough for me to catch up. In a matter of seconds, their heads were severed from their necks.
