Lizard monster's Pov
With a belly full of anger and despair, that I couldn't let out, I got thrust into one of those dimensional portals along with other monsters.
The moment I opened my eyes after going through the portal, what I saw wasn't the expected scene of warriors waiting to kill everyone of us invaders.
Instead, all I could see was a bunch weak humans, that'll die from a single touch with their pitifully weak mana.
Back in my universe, Humans are mighty beings.
Holding power that could wipe out my entire race at their fingertips.
But here, I can feast on these humans all I want.
*Muahahahaha...*
But my excitement didn't last long.
Before I could go there and start my delightful feast, from those weaklings, one human woman jumped and ran towards the portal.
While all the others were scrambling in fear to escape and hide from us.
The one that woman faced first was one of the six legged mutated hounds that's famous for attacking anything in it's sight.
"Whe is she charging towards her death? Is her head okay?" That was what I thought but she actually dodged the hound's attack.
She was even able to injury the monster while continuously dodging it's crazed attacks, though they were only minor injuries.
Before the other monsters could join the fight, she somehow damaged the hound's eyes was now leading it straight towards the portal.
After crashing the hound into other monsters and causing some chaos, that woman started doing the same thing with many others- blinding them and crashing them.
After seeing that sight, I came to a conclusion.
'I should kill this little shit if I want to have a hearty meal in peace, without any disturbance.'
So I just hid amongst the monsters and waited for the perfect moment to strike.
And that human woman, by constantly jumping around, seemed to be tiring herself out pretty quickly.
So I used the perfect moment she faltered while dodging an attack, and landed an attack on her, throwing her towards other monsters to finish her off.
Just when I thought I could finally feed myself with some fresh flesh, another human- a man, suddenly showed up, catching the woman and saving her from death.
Seeing my carefully planned attack ( with my limited intelligence ) failing at the last second, I lost all my reason.
But before I could rush over and kill them in my anger along with other monsters, an invisible pressure descended on all of us from the newly appeared man.
Every monster, including myself immediately stopped moving the moment the pressure hit us.
Since our instincts were screaming at us that we will die if move.
But as our numbers grew because of the dimensional porta releasing more of us, we couldn't control ourselves.
With a collective growl, we launched ourselves forward ferocious expressions.
Seeing us attacking, the man calmly drew out his weapon and readied himself to attack.
After mumbling something under his breath, the man vanished.
The next thing I know, my proud tail along with all four of my limbs were already cut off, and I was pinned to ground with that sharp sword directly through my tail stump.
The man just slaughtered every monster there except for me.
After doing this, he just returned back to the same place as if nothing happened and started flirting with the woman by their expressions.
'I don't know why I am still alive but,'
'I have a really bad feeling about this.'
And my feelings were spot on.
***
When Rhea saw the state of the lizard monster that almost killed her, limbless and pinned to the ground with Graham's sword, she was stunned.
Just then Graham spoke, "That's my present for you. You can do whatever you want with it for trying to kill you."
Hearing that, the sweet feeling from before returned once again, making Rhea almost jump on him in happiness, for considering her feelings.
But she controlled herself at the last moment, and just said in a small voice,
"Thank you... I really appreciate it."
After saying, Rhea slowly walked towards the monster and took out her daggers to start the revenge.
But then, she finally remembered that her dagger couldn't even penetrate the skin of these things. She was momentarily at a loss on how to proceed.
As if waiting for that moment,
"Here... These might help." Graham threw something towards her.
Sheathing her daggers Rhea instinctively caught it. Upon closer look, it was a pair of two daggers.
Handles and the crossguards painted in the colour of midnight black,
the blades - shining brightly with a hint of purple sheen similar to her hair colour,
and were sheathed in inky black scabbards- hiding their brightness for perfect concealment.
Rhea thought ,'Wow ! What beautiful daggers ! Feels like they're literally made for me.'
{A/N. But of course... They were made specifically for her by Graham, using the System's crafting station.}
Feeling the blade's sharpness prickling her skin without even touching them, Rhea had no doubt that these daggers will be able to cut open that damn lizard.
***
Graham had to spend 80 origin mana to craft those daggers and reduce their requirements, for Rhea to wield it.
But the weapon's passive skill definitely made up for it. And he could also upgrade their grades in the future for Rhea, as her power grows.
Their details are,
[ Weapon type : Twin daggers ( pair )
Name : none
Crafting cost : 40 origin mana ( for each one )
Requirement to wield : none
Stats :
Agility +5
Dexterity +5
Weapon skills :
Sharpness ( passive ) : able to penetrate armours upto common grade. ]
Being able to penetrate same grade armour is definitely an unfair skill. Since others can't tank the attack, they can only block or dodge out of it's way.
But in the hands of an assassin like Rhea ( that Graham could somewhat infer from her battle style ), it will be even more deadly.
With her stealth, if she decided to ambush someone with those daggers, her opponent wouldn't even be able to respond before getting killed.
Even if she failed to kill on the first strike, it will definitely incapacitate them, resulting in their pitiful resistance before eventually getting killed.
