The creature's roar echoed through the valley as Cruzer's Abyssal Shardblade cleaved through its darkened carapace. The explosive trap Seris had planted detonated perfectly, exposing a vulnerable section of the creature's underbelly. Cruzer wasted no time. With Void Step, he teleported mid-swing, appearing directly beneath the beast and driving his blade upward with all his strength.
The impact sent a ripple of void energy coursing through the creature's body, and it let out a guttural cry before collapsing into a heap of dark, smoking fragments. A loud chime echoed in the air, signaling the defeat of a major threat. Cruzer glanced at the token that materialized from the beast's remains—a glowing black orb marked with intricate runes.
"Boss token," Seris muttered, her eyes wide with a mix of awe and greed. "That thing's worth at least 50 points. You just catapulted yourself into the top ten."
