CH37 Into the Inner Rim
***
When Alex blinded one of the Stag's eyes, he slipped into the created blind spot. Using a still-standing tree, he launched himself into the air, plunging the wrist blade deep down.
Though Alex was cosplaying as a member of the Brotherhood, that didn't mean he carried a useless weapon.
The wrist blade was a bona fide Tier II artefact weapon, forged by a Tier III Expert Forgesmith at great expense.
Between his falling weight and the blade's razor sharpness, Alex finally pierced through the stag's thick hide.
Its elemental resistance was no match for the wrist blade's precision.
Striking through the weak spot ended the beast's life almost instantly.
Alex leaned heavily on the stag's lifeless body, catching his breath and recovering.
He'd be the first to admit he'd let his guard down—and that a combination of inexperience and poor decision-making made the fight far harder than it should have been.
