I sighed and made myself appear in it's view. It looked at me before rushing at me with it's legs. I summoned a ring of fireballs, aiming for the monster's head. Being the most logical and illogical answer, there was no burn marks. I then channeled my energy into fire sparks. The sparks were brilliantly bright and blinding for anyone. I aimed the sparks towards the connection where the top and body were fused together. One of the stitches fell due to it being burnt.

That's when it clicked. Aim for the stiches that binded them. With that, I sent out more burning sparks towards it, hopefully removing the other stitches which worked as many fell. But now the problem is, how to end it. Aiming for the head of the top and the body would be it. But the monster was rampaging, trapping me and it in a dust vortex. It flung me towards the top of the vortex.

I felt pain coursing through my whole body as I saw my life flashed before my very eyes. Precious memories I wish to keep, unwanted memories I wish to forget. I closed my eyes and from the top of my lungs, I yelled.

”EQUIPMENT MAGIC DAGGER. HEED MY CALL.” Magic dust surrounded my right hand, then appeared a silver dagger with a sharp blade. I only had one chance to do this right. I placed the dagger in front of me, blade facing outwards. With my left hand over my right, I aimed towards the head.

I first impaled the head, black coloured blood came spilling out, staining my clothes and hands. Moving my body, I then impaled the body, hands reaching in the head to get more leverage. I closed my eyes and let the black blood stain me. I felt the monster deflate as I felt the magic dusts flow to my face. Then I heard a motherly voice talking.

”Thank you my dearest. For ending my misery.” I opened my eyes to see the top take a form of a woman. The woman flashed a warm smile before fading off into nothing. The dust vortex settling down as my dagger faded off too.

Everyone was now sitting up, watching in awe as the student in the middle was covered with blood. I knelt down, panting from both pain and exhaustion. At the corner of my eye, I saw Walton screaming for me and running towards me. Blanketed by tiredness, I closed my eyes and embraced the darkness.

I woke up to people crying by my side. People were crying over my pathetic life? Making my finger twitch, there were surprised gasps.

”She's awake!” That voice sounded familiar. With my barely working vocal chords, I croaked.

”W-Walton...?”
