“Over here!” An arrow pierced through the winds and struck directly into a towering behemoth.

“RAAAAAAGH!” The demonic beast roared as it slammed its claws down to the ground, sending a shockwave that knocked the surrounding party back.

“Sunfangs are hard to come by— we need to kill no matter what!” Yelled the archer.

“On it!” A big burly woman charged ahead with a massive shield and knelt down to a defensive stance when the beast slashed towards her.

“Good job, Lee!” Another hunter, an Elf this time, took this chance to run fast and hop up the large woman’s shoulders. He skillfully moved through the air and stabbed his sword into the beast's back.

The Sunfang roared in anger. Its white and black striped fur glowed bright and temporarily blinded the Elf who attached itself on its back.

“Argh! Hotaru! Alina! Now!” The Elf yelled as two people from the back of the party started chanting. It was a bear beastwoman and another elf.

“With the power of flame, I call upon: Thunderburn!” The Elf stomped the bottom of her staff on the snowy ground and a rush of flame accompanied by sparks of lightning crashed directly into the Sunfangs body making it stand upright from the force of the attack.

“The light of the World Tree will guide me!” The beastwoman raised her hands and her wand upwards. “Grant my blessing to my allies!”

A waft of white light floated through the air and into the large woman and the male elf stuck on the beast's back.

“That's what I'm talking about!” The large woman grinned and slammed her shield directly into the opening the fire spell gave. The Sunfang fell backwards and struck its head into a tree.

It tried to stand up again but it was too late as the Elf on its back roared as power flowed through his arms. He swiftly sliced his sword through the beast’s neck, effectively decapitating it.

The Sunfang Demonic Beast was no more.

The party took a moment to breathe before the archer slid down the tree and cheered with enough noise to attract another monster. “LET'S GOOO!”

“Quiet, Bruce!” The male Elf, who seemed to be the leader, scolded. “We don't want another fight this quickly.”

The large woman, Lee, stood up and placed her shield behind her back as she helped her leader down from the large beast's corpse. “You did well, Nabel.”

“Thanks.” He coughed and held onto her hand as he stuck his feet back onto the dry snow.

“Did you see what I did?” The female elf, Alina, placed her hands on her hips as she flapped her cape in the wind. “I am so cool!”

“Yeah. Yeah.” Hotaru, the bear beastwoman, smacked her upside the head and crossed her arms. “Shall we start harvesting the game now?”

“Yeah.” Nabel, the leader, walked towards the head and examined its mouth. “We could make use of some of the fangs here.”

“Oooh! Can I tip my arrows with them?” Bruce jogged over.

“Do what you like.” Nabel stood up and glanced towards Hotaru. “Send a message to the Hielo guild. We need dispatch for the rest of this.”

“On it.” Hotaru nodded and turned to the side as she started chanting a spell of her own.

“We still have some meat and hide from the Thornboar we killed earlier.” Lee crossed her arms and shrugged. “We can probably camp her for a night.”
