This was it…
I whispered under my breath and drove Gravefang downward.
My win.
SHLICCK.
The blade pierced the Mooncat's skull with a sickening crunch. I put my full weight into it, pushing the beast to the ground.
My grip remained firm on the hilt until its twitching stopped beneath me.
The Mooncat's limbs gave a final, shuddering twitch, then its muscles slackened beneath me, like a marionette with its strings cut, the light in its eyes flickering out, leaving behind only the dull, glassy stare of a defeated beast.
The battle was over.
It was dead.
I exhaled—shaky, exhausted, but alive.
I pulled Gravefang free and staggered back, breathing hard.
"I… I did it."
DING!

I blinked at the glowing system prompts, letting them register one by one.
