Ding!
[Boss Monster Eliminated!]
[Desert Tyrant Worm (B+) Defeated.]
The enormous corpse remained motionless across the desert.
Unlike every monster Reiji had killed before, it didn't immediately dissolve into particles. Instead, black mist slowly leaked from the countless sword wounds covering its body. The dark veins that had spread across its flesh gradually faded while the second mouth on its neck finally fell silent.
"...It's over."
Reiji released a long breath and allowed the bone sword to lower.
The moment he relaxed, every ache in his body returned at once.
His knees nearly gave out.
"...Damn..."
Blood Rage had ended.
Strength of the Overlord had also disappeared.
The sudden loss of those enhancements made him feel as though his body weighed twice as much as before.
His muscles screamed in protest. His mana was nearly depleted.
Even maintaining Demonic Essence had become difficult.
