"Leave the rest to me."
With just those words, I dashed off like the wind.
Without a glance to the side, I headed straight for the monstrous beast.
The beast showed a look of astonishment upon seeing this.
It probably couldn’t believe that prey would attack a predator like itself.
But that was only for a moment.
It bared its fangs and hostility, ready to counterattack.
*Whoosh!*
I launched a normal slash as a test.
*Shing!*
A light metallic sound echoed as my weapon clashed with its claws.
Naturally, it didn’t go through.
Even though it was the highest-grade Wing Blade sold in stores, it was nothing without using the Hero’s Secret Technique, The Brave Arts.
It must have thought the attack was not as significant as it had imagined.
It let down its guard and came directly to devour me.
"Kishaaaaaa!"
However.
Crack! The prized fang of the Keystone Beast is broken.
The Hero’s Secret Technique, Brave Art 'Fang Crusher.'
As the name suggests, I had unleashed a technique that was developed to crush the fangs of beast-type monsters.
"Careless."
I opened my mouth.
"Having only experienced one-sided hunting, you can’t accurately gauge the enemy’s strength."
I continued speaking as I advanced.
"You are the one being hunted."
The monstrous beast retreated slowly.
For it, retreating was an unprecedented humiliation.
But unless it defeated me, it couldn’t escape the threat I posed.
Perhaps having resolved itself, it attacked me again.
It wanted to skewer me with the sharp claws of its front leg the one that didn't have a hole in it.
"What is with that leg? Do you want me to cut it off?"
*Zang!*
As I said that, I cut off its front leg.
Though it leaped back to avoid a follow-up attack, its agility was clearly diminished compared to when it had all its limbs.
From there, it became a one-sided battle.
First, I flicked away all the claws of its front leg, that had the hole in it, with the Hero’s Secret Technique, Brave Arts 'Claw Flick.'
After observing the movements of the Keystone Beast, I moved and crushed all its actions.
I shattered all its fangs and stripped away all its claws.
A beast with its claws and fangs removed.
Its appearance even seemed pitiful to me.
All that was left was to wait for the finishing blow.
