The Grimclaw's struggles grew weaker, its movements slowing as the dark energy sapped its strength. Finally, with a final, shuddering roar, the creature collapsed, its HP dropping to zero as the last of its life drained away.
Damian staggered, the spell fading as he released his hold. He couldn't believe it. He'd actually managed to take down a level 50 creature on his own!
