The Beast had eventually sustained the wounds of enough projectiles that would have sent an entire army running the other way. But it was still very mobile to be deemed as a threat. Ran'Jinro climbed and groaned as he nearly slipped on the rough hairs of the creature, fighting to reach all the way to the top.

The Wolf Beast then gave out a loud howl in pain, causing the guards on the walls to cover their ears to prevent loss of hearing.

That can't be good, reflected Ran'Jinro. What if it attracts other likeminded creatures?

He shook his head. There was no time in thinking on such matters. He had to end this battle quickly now, whilst the Beast was weakened. It had even begun to limp towards the city walls, still struggling to carry out whatever instincts that were on its mind.

''Never seen anything like it... It's acting like dying soldier, trying to fulfill some sort of last order...''

As another combined volley of Outsiders and city guards hit the Beast above the limbs, severing tendons and muscles, it began to stumble forward at an alarming velocity.

"Oh, shit!" exclaimed Evelyne worryingly, who had been busy at cutting and stabbing the Beast wherever she could.

"Evelyne!" shouted the Khajiit. "Fasten yourself! I need to finish it quickly or we will crash right into the city!"

The Breton nodded and tightened the wires attached between her suit and the harpoon. The Beast increased its pace and came running straight towards the city walls as if it made itself ready to ram them. One could tell that even if it was to be successful, it wouldn't have much strength in it to carry on. This was an attack of desperation.

But Ran'Jinro had no intention of granting it this sort of mercy. This creature needed to die so that thousands may be spared. He took a steady foothold between some sinewy bulges potruding from the flesh and heaved himself up the last way.

The guards on the wall ran screaming in different directions as they realised that an impact with the creature was imminent. The Khajiit then pulled one of his cleavers up swiftly and with a quick and forceful thrust, lodged the blade straight into the Wolf Beast's skull, skewering its brain from above.

The Wolf Beast shot its eyes open in a mix of shock, pain and surprise as it had in its final moments realised what had just been happening. The brain seized to function and have control over the gigantic body, causing all the limbs to suddenly go limp in mid-air.

Oh, hell...

The Beast slammed down against the mountainside with a force that caused the very foundations of Kilkreath to tremble and bricks to loosen and drop from the city walls. The body of the Wolf Beast slided through the snow and didn't seem to stop until its snout was mere yards away from an impact with the defenses.

Then everything fell quiet...

Evelyne just looked at her mentor in anxiety and awe. Ran'Jinro turned around to her, giving her a nervous smile as he breathed out. It had been close. Too close. He was lucky that the Beast was already weakened enough as it had been. Sometimes they could be persistent enough even to survive a blade through the brain.

Suddenly a spurt of blood and cranial fluid shot up through the cracked head of the gigantic creature, sending t he Khajiit flying due to the pressure. He collapsed backwards and down into the snow with a dampened grunt. Yet as the snow was coated in blood he sighed loudly.

This was worth it...
