The titan roared in frustration, swinging its sword wildly in an attempt to break free of the vortex's grip.
I saw my chance.

With a burst of speed, I launched myself forward, my body propelled by the wind.
I reached the titan in an instant, my sword glowing with mana as I aid a six directional windslash at the beast's hand.
The impact was like a thunderclap.
The titan's grip faltered, its fingers loosening around the hilt of the sword.
I struck again, this ti with even more force.
The titan howled in pain as its grip finally broke, the sword slipping from its grasp and clattering to the ground.
I didn't waste a second.
I summoned the wind beneath , propelling myself upward as the titan swung its now-empty hand in a desperate attempt to swat away.
I soared above the beast's head, my eyes locked on the titan's exposed arm.
This was my chance.
I sent another six directional windslam down at the titan's arm.
The blades cut deep, slicing through muscle and bone with deadly precision.
The titan bellowed in agony, its arm hanging limp at its side, blood pouring from the deep gashes.
I landed a few feet away, my breath ca in ragged gasps.
My heart was pounding, my body trembling with the effort of the battle.
I could see the pain in the titan's eyes, the beast's fury turning to desperation as it clutched its wounded arm.
But i knew the fight was far from over.
The titan's roar echoed through the night, a sound of pure, unadulterated rage.
It lunged at with its good arm, its massive fist hurtling toward with enough force to shatter stone.
I had no ti to dodge.
The fist struck square in the chest, sending flying backward.
I crashed into the ground, pain exploded through my body as I rolled to a stop.
For a mont, everything went black.
The world around faded into a haze of pain and exhaustion.
I could feel my strength slipping away, the wind that had once answered my call now distant and unresponsive.
The titan's footsteps thundered in my ears, growing louder with each passing second.
I forced my eyes open, my vision swam as I tried to focus.
The titan was closing in, its eyes blazed with triumph.
I struggled to push myself up, my arms trembled with the effort.
I knew I couldn't take another hit like that. I needed to end this, and I needed to do it now.
Summoning every last ounce of strength, I decided to activate the power I had been saving for a mont like this.
"Invulnerability," i whispered, feeling the familiar warmth spread through my body, coating it.
The pain in my chest vanished, replaced by a surge of strength and determination.
The world around snapped back into focus, the edges sharp and clear.
I pushed myself to my feet, feeling the invulnerability coursing through my veins.
I could see the confusion in the titan's eyes, the beast hesitating as it sensed the change in .
However, I didn't give it ti to react.
I charged forward, my body a blur as I closed the distance between us.
The titan swung its fist again, but this ti I didn't dodge.
The blow struck , but it bounced off harmlessly, leaving completely unscathed.
The titan roared in frustration, swinging again and again, but each strike was deflected by the invulnerability that now surrounded .
My lips curled into a wicked smile. The tables had turned.
I gathered all the strength in , holding my sword that was still coated in mana.
With a powerful leap, I closed the distance between them, swinging the blade with all my might.
The blade sliced through the air with deadly precision, cutting deep into the titan's arm.
The beast howled in agony, blood sprayed from the wound as it staggered back.
But I didn't stop. I couldn't afford to.
The invulnerability wouldn't last forever.
I unleashed a relentless barrage of wind slashes, each one cut deeper into the titan's flesh.
The beast stumbled, its massive fra swaying as it tried to stay upright.
I was unrelenting however, my attacks grew fiercer with every passing second.
I knew I had to finish this before my ti ran out.
The titan fell to its knees, its strength finally giving out.
It looked up at with a mixture of fear and anger, its body trembled with pain.
But I had no rcy to give.
Raising my sword, I looked at it as it glead in the waning light.
With a single, decisive strike, I brought the blade down on the titan's neck.
The beast's head rolled to the ground, and its body slumped forward, lifeless.
I stood over it, breathing heavily as the invulnerability around began to fade.
[1 beast titan killed, 70 mp]
The invulnerability had worn off, leaving exhausted but victorious.
I turned, rushing to Damon's side.
There was no ti to rest. We needed to get out of here, and fast.
My hands trembled as I knelt beside him, he lay unconscious and pale against the dark ground.
My heart tightened in my chest as I checked for a pulse. Relief washed over when I felt the faint but steady beat beneath my fingers.
I pulled Damon up and lifted him onto my back.
I was strong enough to carry him back to the battle field.
As I realized this, I realized that I had managed to fight the number of opponents I had fought today without pushing my body to the limits.
What I did was simple.
Instead of expending mana and putting my body at risk of shutdown, I expended more physical energy, which the system readily replenished.
Just then, a thought hit . I had fought a number of beast monsters today.
Shouldn't I have killed enough to unlock the next level.
As I thought this, the screen ca to life with a chi.
[Congratulations]

I felt a tightness in my chest and my body began to alternate between a burning hot sensation and a chilling cold one.
Then a sudden pain hit in the heart, it felt as if my heart was being squeezed.
Ahhh~ I yelled and the world began to swim, the last thing I rembered was everything becoming pitch black.
