or torn apart. Team leader was last in line, the dragon bit the top of his torso
               and tore his body in half. It took its upper torso out and spat it out, the

               mangled corpse landing a few feet away from Florian.


               Everybody except for Florian was dead, he could not stand it any more and
               vomited. With his luck, the dragon had not spotted him and returned to a
               dormant state. Though, the voices in his head had only intensified. Florian
               was slowly driving into insanity.


               It took him half an hour to become calm and get his senses back. Florian was

               trying to figure out what his next move would be when it had struck him.
               Florian searched violently through his pockets and pulled out the box.




               It was the same box that was given to him by the beggar that was said to be
               able to help him. With nothing to lose, Florian opened the box without

               hesitation. In the opening of the box sat a handle, Florian pulled it out. What
               came out of it, can’t be described with words. It was an A-rank sword.


               Because of the high rank, the stats were uniquely high too. Florian realised he
               finally had a chance to win. The outstanding equipment that he had received
               had given him a confidence boost. Florian had a plan, a plan to defeat the
               boss.



               Florian sat attentively, watching the dragon’s every move. When it was looking
               the other way, Florian made his move. He sneaked up behind the dragon’s
               hind legs and sliced the tendons' in one quick swoop. The dragon let out a
               blood curdling screech and let out flames in the direction of Florian. However,
               the dragon’s movement was limited due to the sliced tendons and Florian

               managed to dodge the flames.


               Florian saw his chance.He jumped on it’s tail and began running up the
               movement-restricted dragon’s torso. He swiftly made up to the nape of the
               dragon. It began to fly around in panic to try to shake off Florian, but Florian
               held on with all his might.


               Fueled with vengeance from his deceased teammates, Florian let out one
