Since he had thrown his all into the first blow the beast stumbled and fell down upon the floor before him. Due to the momentum his second attack still struck the beast. It lay there as still as the dead bodies around them. Several moments went by as the only sound was his heavy breathing from his effort to take down this beast. A few more moments passed and nothing jumped out to attack him. The only thing around him besides the corpses was the stench of death. In this battle to death he came out the hero and the victor.
