And upon reaching it, he began making use of his sword to stab the beast’s core. Yes, that was the very reason why he jumped toward the beast’s core in the first place.
Destroying the beast’s core completely was the fastest way to bring it down. Bringing it down in other ways wouldn’t be easy at all considering this was a rank-4 magical beast.
The beast had been weakened a lot due to the fact that a huge amount of damage had been done to its core. The warrior didn’t see any reason to keep wasting time, he wanted to damage the beast’s core as well so it could be weakened more.
That was the very reason why he jumped toward its core and began stabbing it not too long after dodging the kick thrown at them by the beast.
He didn’t stop for a second, he kept stabbing the beast’s core with his sword as the beast kept weakening more and more. The beast managed to begin moving its right hand toward its back neck to grab the warrior stabbing its core.
It already had in mind it was going to fail, but it just wanted to try…
And it failed to grab the warrior as expected, he jumped off the beast’s neck before its hand could even reach him. And upon landing on the ground, a smirk appeared on his face, he’d caused a good amount of damage to the beast’s core.
He was part of the warriors that damaged the beast’s core.
The beast was so close to giving up the fight completely and dying. They were close to destroying its core completely, and it was close to dying.
The people watching the warriors battle the beast were still standing there with their gazes focused on the scene that was some meters away from them and had been taking place for minutes now.
And they could see what was happening, the warriors were so close to bringing down the beast completely…and this was making their hearts glad.
Ryan and Dylan were still among the people watching the warriors battle the beast. And they could see the warriors were so close to bringing down the beast as well.
“This rank-4 magical beast would be brought down soon. The warriors are going to be ending the life of another magical beast just as they’d always been doing in the past whenever a beast attacks this kingdom,
And they were able to achieve this without any of them dying though there were some close calls, and some got injured”. Dylan said to Ryan, glancing at him.
Ryan nodded his head a little before saying, “That’s true, they’d been doing an excellent job in the past, and they’re about to do an excellent job now”.
Dylan didn’t say anything else, he only nodded his head in agreement to what Ryan said. The both of them stood there as they kept watching the warriors battle the beast.
As of now, two more warriors had been able to make their way to the beast’s core and destroy it some more, which added in weakening the beast more.
And right now, the beast was already falling to the ground…they’d succeeded in ending its life completely. It kept falling to the ground until it landed on it with a thud.
All the warriors were standing close to the beast’s huge body right now. Then one of the warriors uttered,
“It has been brought down finally”.
The other warriors nodded their heads to the warrior’s statement, then another warrior voiced out,
“That was a long and tough battle”.
They couldn’t help but to nod their heads in agreement again, it was truly a long and tough battle. Some warriors got injured, and one almost died.
But what mattered was that they’d brought down the beast…the minutes of battle weren’t for nothing.
The people watching them battle the beast were so glad right now, almost all of them had smiles on their faces. Many of them began conversing among themselves as murmurings began resounding here and there.
What were they conversing about? Of course, the fact that the warriors had finally brought down the rank-4 beast…
“It had been brought down finally”. Ryan said to Dylan not too long after the beast landed on the ground.
“That’s correct, look at its body lying there lifelessly”. Dylan stated.
“Wouldn’t lie, I enjoyed watching the warriors battle the beast”. Ryan’s voice resounded again.
“I enjoyed it too. Are we bad people for enjoying it? You know, some of them got injured, and one almost died while battling the beast. But we gained enjoyment from it”. Dylan said.
“We aren’t bad people, we only enjoyed them battling the beast, but we didn’t enjoy when some got injured, and when one was almost killed by the beast. Or did you enjoy those parts?”.
“No, I didn’t”. Dylan responded.
“Then we aren’t bad people”.
Dylan couldn’t help but nod his head a little with a kind of relief in his heart.
Now that the warriors had brought down the beast, moving its body away from the place where it was lying or finding a way to clear off its body from that place wouldn’t be an easy thing at all.
But they’d still find a way to do it because this wasn’t the first time they were killing a magical beast right in a community. It had happened numerous times in the past, and they always find a way to make sure the beast’s body doesn’t stay at the place where they killed it for too long.
Now that the warriors had brought down the magical beast, they now had the time to be glancing at the people that had been watching them for minutes battle the magical beast.
..They now had the time to be glancing at some of their faces.
They didn’t have the time for all these during the time they were battling the beast. Some didn’t even almost notice that people were staring at them.
They were in an intense situation, they were battling a rank-4 magical beast. They needed to focus because losing focus would cost you your life.
They didn’t even waste too much time glancing at the faces of the people watching them battle the beast, they just glanced at some before taking their gazes off them.
Then they began discussing how they were going to move the beast’s body away from the place where it was lying…
The warriors spent a lot of time battling the beast, all the time spent rounded up to a few hours. It was mid-afternoon heading straight to complete evening.
Dylan glanced at Ryan before saying to him, “We saw it all, we saw the warriors battle the beast until they eventually brought it down. I think it’s about time we leave this place, we’ve spent enough time here”.
Ryan nodded his head a little before saying, “That’s true”.
He said that but didn’t seem like he wanted to begin heading home yet, he wanted to stay here some more to see what would happen next. Maybe how they’d move the beast’s body away from the place where it was lying, and so on.
Dylan noticed it and uttered to him, “Seems like you want to stay here some more”.
Ryan glanced at him immediately the moment he said that because his gaze had been focused on the warriors and the beast all this while. Then these words flowed out of his mouth,
“Umm…no, no, I don’t want to stay here some more, let’s begin heading home”.

“Let’s begin heading home then”. Dylan’s voice resounded again.
And with that, the both of them began heading home, leaving the others there to keep glancing at the warriors and the beast’s lifeless body.
Even when they’d begun walking away, Ryan’s gaze was still focused on the warriors and the beast’s lifeless body for some seconds before finally taking his gaze off them and making sure not to glance at them again.
The both of them had been walking for a few minutes now, they were meters away from the place where the magical beast was killed. And they weren’t walking in silence, they were conversing while walking.
“Those warriors did an excellent job bringing that rank-4 beast down no matter how long it took”. Ryan said to Dylan as they were walking.
“No doubting that, they did an excellent job. It takes a lot of confidence and courage to face a high-ranked magical beast and battle it until it is brought down,
But these warriors are overloaded with courage and confidence because they’d undergone a lot of training before they became warriors, and they’d engaged in a lot of battles”. Dylan uttered glancing at Ryan.
Ryan nodded his head a little before saying, “That is true”.
Silence ensued for some seconds after that before Dylan’s voice resounded again,
“Looking at how strong these warriors are, the fact that they can make use of their powers properly, make use of weapons, and so on, is making me want to make a decision now that I would attend one of the academies specialized in training benders and so on,
I want to learn all the necessary things needed to be learned in one of those academies so I can be strong like those warriors”.
