As Theo finished resting, he stood up, stretched, and prepared to head back to the Treasury to meet up with Hercules and his friends.
Just as he was about to leave, a loud roar echoed through the air, and the ground trembled beneath his feet. The Chthonic Beast, a massive creature with dark, shadowy fur and glowing red eyes, emerged from the shadows.
The beast charged at Theo, its claws swiping wildly. Theo barely dodged the attack, drawing his dual swords to defend himself.
[Threat Detected. Engage in Combat.]
As he saw the beast he was filled with excitement, ready to put what he has been taught into action.

Theo nodded, and the interface confirmed his acceptance.
[Quest Accepted. Defeat the Chthonic Beast.]
With renewed resolve, Theo charged forward, his dual swords flashing in the sunlight as he clashed with the Chthonic Beast. The battle had begun.
As the battle began, Theo was forced to the defense even though he was the one who charged in head on, due to the strength of the beast he was pushed back by each blow.
Instead of blocking, Theo then decided to douge, as he dodged he would then land attacks of his own, doing little to no damage on the beast due to its thick fur.
"System, I need your help" Theo said in an act of desperation, "Host I suggest you use your celestial energy" The system replied.
"Okay let's do this" Theo said as he distanced himself from the beast, he then concentrated until he felt the strange energy, he then continued to move it around his body to get familiarized with the feeling.
Putting the celestial energy in his legs, he bent his knees as he released the energy in his legs giving him an extraordinary boost in his speed, as he approached the beast, he threw out a punch which was filled with celestial energy landing a perfect hit on the beast.
The beast was flung back a few meters, surprised by Theo's gain in speed, before it could stabilize itself Theo rushed in delivering blow after blood after blow, leaving the beast at its last leg, then suddenly energy started building up in the beast, Theo felt this energy too.
"System what is going on" Theo asked with a confused voice, "Host you have to end this fight quickly, the beast is entering rage mode" the system replied in a worried tone.
Thor then took out his dual sword from the system's inventory, he had an idea. He took. With the dual swords in his hand he moved the celestial energy into the swords, the swords radiated with energy.
As the beast was running towards Theo, Theo slashed his sword in the air releasing a strange white energy with the shape of an arc. As it hit the beast the beast was split in half and the arc continued for some few meters until it disintegrated.
