8. Against Behemoth 2nd

Wooo~! I’m beat! THE Best chapter I’ve written so far! (I guess?) Please give me your opinion!

______________________________

(Uooooooh…!!!!!!)

Gearing up all of my senses, I intent to thrust the beast’s leg with my blade.

I can feel the wind around me screamed as I got closer to its leg.

‘It’s standing still? Maybe it can’t catch up with my speed!’

As I thought that, I felt my confidence rising.

Of course, the beast crushed my confidence down to the gutter.

At the moment when I was about to pierce the [Behemoth]’s flesh,

It moved its claw upwards with frightening speed, deflecting my charge and sending me flying to the air.

‘What?!’

Its movement is so fast I can barely saw it.

(But it’s not over yet!)

Turning my blade using , once again I aim at its leg.

The [Behemoth] snort while observing my movement,

It readies one of its leg to block my charge.

But, its all according to the plan.

(I got you now!)

When it swung its claws towards me, I used and changed the directory of my charge upwards, slashing the tip of its nose.

(Tch…I missed, heck! I didn’t even graze it!)

With a surprised look, it hold its nose with one of its claw.

Somehow, this [Behemoth] is a weird one.

Did I just saw a grin on its mouth or is it just me?

But, no matter…

(If Its not enough…I’ll just do you some more until you bleed!!!)

Using the recoil from the first slash, I aim my edge to its nose.

But only to clash with its claws once again,

And so we exchanged blows.

Using as much as I can,           I repeatedly go on the offensive, and in turn it stays on the defensive

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Sadly everything that I do seems for naught,

For every blow that I gave, it easily and efficiently counter it all.

I know that;

I’m slower;

My blows are lighter;

And I’m  overall weaker than it.

But somehow…this is enjoyable,

For every graze that I received, every chipped in part of my sword, it’s a sign of me getting stronger.

(Hehehe…hahahahaa!!!! This is fun [Behemoth]!)

Somehow, while still changing blows with the [Behemoth] I can still find some leisure to call out to it…even though I don’t know if it can hear me or not, but that’s not important! What’s important is the feeling in behind the words.

Right now Eris must have reach the surface safely, so…its fine to enjoy my self now right?

(Heh! It’s hard to call you by your race all the time, so…let me give you a name!)

We exchange blows some more, 

looking amused it quickly raised up its pace

Feeling the intensity of its blows increasing, I frantically try to keep up.

(Whoa there! You’re holding back this entire time?! Damn it!…Lucy! Your name is Lucy! Here I go Lucy..!!!)

“Grrraaaaaaaugh…!!!”

As if saying ‘come!’, Lucy and I engage in a fierce battle.

I once again charge at [her] with my blade facing upwards.

When the distance is ideal, I used to boost the momentum and slashed at [her] head.

Blocking my charge with [her] horn, [she] proceed to slashed me with her claws.

Reading through [her] intentions, I manage to push my self to dodge [her] attack at a paper thin margin.

(Close!)

Using the momentum I slash at her arm, only to receive a blow that sent me flying to the wall.

Upon hitting the wall, it broke and cracks started appearing on the ceiling above it.

Using small explosions created by I manage to stay floating in the air.

Then suddenly..

The ceiling fell and countless rocks fell on me from above.

Burried by rubble, I momentarily changed back to a slime and slipped through the rocks.

(How embarassing…I can sense that [she] laughed just now)

After a succesful escape, I quickly change to and use to approach [her].

And then using the full extent of my instincts and reflexes, I manage to pull out several slashes in succession.

But…

As expected [she] manage to block all my attacks while leaving small but definite grazes on my body.

Nevertheless, I continue to strike her with everything I’ve got.

When…

All of a sudden, my speed fell down.

‘Ack! It seems my magic power has started to run out…’

And of course sensing that my attack is slowing down, [she] hit me with the back of [her] claws, and blew me away.

Shortly after, I manage to regain my balance.

(Then…! This is the last spurt!!! Lets finish this, Lucy!!!)

I reflexively corrected my stance and charge at [her].

And as a bonus, I use multiple magic explosion from to increase the speed of my thrust.

I aimed at [her] neck.

Reading my intention, [she] skillfully block my charge using [her] claw, blowing me upwards.

While still airborne , I noticed a small crack that was formed on one of [her] claws.

I smiled (internally of course)

As to not waste any time, I used the momentum created by the exchange, and boosted it with to increase the speed at a frightening degree.

And,

As a result I’m able to catch [her] off guard and manage to cut down her claws while spinning uncontrollably.

With a surprised look, [she] watched as [her] claws were cut down.

Then,

(It’s over!!!)

Using every last bit of my magic,

I created multiple small magic explosion and ’ed to fix my position and thrust at her neck,

And then…

*Clunk thunk*

I fell…

I fell due to magic power exhaustion, 

Of course… maintaining this form in it self already consumes so much mana, what’s more, I also used countless to attack and move around.

It was already admirable that I can last this long.

I can feel my body starting to revert to how it originally was…a slime.

Ahahahaha…a fitting end..I guess?

I can feel my consciousness slowly fading away.

(Well…at least I have fun on the end…)

My vision is becoming darker and darker,

And the last thing I saw is…

The figure of [her] mouth, covered with sharp teeth….

Closing in…
