RAIDS ONLINE: RAGNAROK BEAST

"So I'm still alive..."

Not even once she has died.

She's weak and nothing out of the ordinary.

She's not like Luel, who started with a high-starting Link Force, nor BlueHeroine, who has the guts to fight high-ranking Ragnarok Beasts on her own.

She would always prioritize saving her life, surviving, escaping, and running away.

It's not that she's afraid to feel a pain similar to death or be eaten by Ragnarok Beasts.

It is just that she wants to survive or, rather, she must survive.

She would never take a risk and always play safe, yet this time it is different.

If Luel has run away, then she won't think twice to run away and escape.

If BlueHeroine has died, then she won't hesitate to save herself just to survive.

"Lucent!"

"I know... Charge x Howl..."

But Luel fought on his own even though he was just a noob player a few weeks ago.

"Radiance x Aurora's Light..."

BlueHeroine once again flies in the night sky even though her wings have been clipped and her light has already faded once.

The two keep on fighting believing that they're gonna win. And much worse, they keep believing that she would come back for them.

...Moonlight x Halo - Moon Halo!...

Her body is full of injuries. Her left arm and left leg are broken with her attempt to block Garmr's attack so that she wouldn't die at a single strike.

She's bleeding from her head, yet even though her blood has stained her face, she could still see what Luel and BlueHeroine had prepared for her, visible in the night sky...

...Stop sleeping and wake up, POODLEPUP! / SILVERPUP!...

...And she could still hear them calling her name.

She can't even stand, and getting out of the rubble that is burying her alive would be too much.

But she didn't need to.

All she needs to do is to look up at the sky, at the slight gap under all the rubble, wish for strength as she keeps searching for hope, and accept the blessing given to her not only by the moon but by the radiant light as well.

"Fine... I'm gonna show you what this weak pup can do..."

The Moon Halo Skill amplifies the power of her Devour Beast within her avatar, giving SilverPup the ability to use the full strength of the Devour Moonlight Beast. Even though she doesn't have the required Link Force for it, even though she hasn't broken through to the boundary that has set her limit, and even though it would only last for a minute.

"Devour Moonlight Beast..."

SilverPup's body releases a ray of silver light aura. It became a pillar of light that rose from the ground under all the rubble she was buried in, through the night sky, towards the moon above. It expanded like a halo of light surrounding the full moon.

"Wider... Further... Bigger and larger than that faqing dog..."

At the center of that pillar of light is SilverPup.

Her body was engulfed by a silver light aura that took the form of a silver light wolf. It grew large and large, surpassing a 10-meter class Unique Rank C Ragnarok Beast, a 20-meter class Rank B Ragnarok Beast, and a 30-meter class Rank A Ragnarok Beast, until it took the form of a 30-meter class silver light wolf, until SilverPup became the Devour Moonlight Beast...

"...ORION!"

.

.

.

...ROOAAARRRRR!!!...

A loud roar of a Devour Beast echoes from the direction of the pillar of light that rises up from the ground towards the night sky.

In a blink of an eye, SilverPup, who has taken the form of the Devour Moonlight Beast Orion, appears right beside Garmr, in front of Luel and BlueHeroine.

SilverPup is so fast that her movement can't be called a sprint or dash. All it took her was just a single lift to cover the hundred-meter distance from where she was buried earlier on the ground.

...Tear Garmr apart, POODLEPUP! / SILVERPUP!...

...ROOAAARRRRR!!!...

With Luel and BlueHeroine shouting for her, SilverPup lunges her claws into Garmr's body and bites its neck with her fangs.

Garmr is already at its limit with its Blood-stained Hound Skill. It won't get anymore bigger and stronger even after receiving more injuries and damage, but it has already attained the strength equal to a Rank B Ragnarok Beast along with a large body equal to a Rank A Ragnarok Beast.

It won't be taken down without a fight, even with SilverPup using the full strength of her Devour Moonlight Beast Orion.

Garmr responds with a rampage, violently swinging its whole body to throw off SilverPup.

Yet SilverPup remains clinging with her claws plunging deeper and deeper into Garmr's body and her fangs slowly piercing its neck, cutting its throat, and breaking its bone.

SilverPup only got a minute, even much less since she has taken the form of the Devour Moonlight Beast Orion.

It was a borrowed power that even SilverPup knows she doesn't deserve and has no right to claim it her own. After all, she could never pass the boundary that has set her limit.

Now that she has restrained her opponent in her claws and trapped it in her fangs, she would never let go.

No matter how much Garmr caused a rampage and cut her body with its claws, she would endure the pain and lunge her claws deeper and deeper to tear apart its body.

...ROOAAR...

She would never let Garmr use its restraining skill again or even let it scream for reinforcement from other Ragnarok Beasts.

She would dig her fangs deeper into its neck and puncture holes into its throat so it wouldn't be able to roar again.

...Right now, we're going to win!...

What's left of her one minute, she wouldn't bother to care. After all, SilverPup has already decided that they're gonna win and that they will achieve the goal as to why they formed their team.

...The Guardian Beast will defeat and devour all high-ranking Ragnarok Beasts starting with you!...

With all of what was left of her strength, SilverPup tore apart Garmr's body with her claws and decapitated the Unique Rank C Ragnarok Beast with her fangs.

...BAAAMMMM!...

Garmr's lifeless body falls to the ground, causing a large crater along with a loud crashing sound.

While its large head rolls into the ground, passing where Luel and BlueHeroine are, SilverPup stands triumphant on top of the lifeless body of her opponent.

...ROOAAARRRRR!!!...

A loud roar echoes within their surrounding.

From SilverPup who has taken the form of a silver light wolf.

The form of the Devour Moonlight Beast Orion.

A loud roar from a Devour Beast, howling at the moon as if asking...

...Did you see me fighting with all of my strength, with everything I have?...

At the end of her roar, SilverPup's Devour Moonlight Beast form starts to disintegrate. In just a minute, SilverPup returned to her original Half-Beast avatar, standing proud and victorious on top of Garmr for Luel and BlueHeroine to see.

"Whose the weakling now, BlueB*?!"

"PoodlePup!"

"Gyaaahhh!... Stop hugging me, BlueB*! You're getting lewd!... Lucent, help!"

"It's not like she's gonna break your neck. So just let her be, SilverPup."
