Chapter 6: Transformation (2/2)
Rex slash misses and hits the door shutting it.
Rosie is scared shitless, her only escape route was blocked by Rex.
The only thing she can do is to fight Rex,
'How can I a rank two Awakened fight a werewolf who even a high-ranking Awakened can't', She thought then she remembers something.
She searches the room trying to find something, 'My sword!'.
Rosie's sword is just behind Rex, The sword is silver in color with a green outline.
Just as she finds her sword, Rex already right in front of her opening his mouth to bite her.
She rolls to the side avoiding Rex's attack,
Rex can't stop his momentum and crash to the wall behind Rosie.
Rosie's fighting instinct is riled up, she immediately cast her spell to slow Rex down.
”Basic Magic, Wind Cutter!”
She slashes her hand forward,
Whoosh!
A wind blade comes out of her hand aiming at Rex,
Rex's yellow eyes glisten, He roars in anger and slashes the wind blade with his claw. The wind cutter put a bit of resistance but eventually cut into two by Rex's claw.
The time Rosie got from the Wind Cutter helps her in closing the distance.
She held her hand on Rex's stomach and sent out a Wind Gale in point-blank range.
BAAM!
Rex flung to the sides and hit the wall, Rex shakes his head and look in Rosie's direction.
'This is my chance!', Rosie runs towards the door to get out of the room not intending to even take her sword to fight again.
'That Wind Gale is my strongest magic, but it seems Rex is not hurt by that. I'm no match for him, I need to run' Rosie thought while running with all her might.
Suddenly a cold wind breeze her cheek,
She looks to the sides and finds Rex already in front of her, He raises her hand and slashes her with his claw.
She was shaken, 'That's too fast! I can't block it!'
Rosie cover her body with a green hue as she makes an x mark using her arms to block Rex, 'Rex is not an Awakened, although he is now in werewolf form I should be able to def--'
Rosie thought that her strength is on par with Rex, but before she can finish her thoughts Rex's strength shocked her so much.
Her hands try to block Rex's claw but the power behind Rex is too much for her,
Her arms are slashed and her body flung backward, ”Akkhhh!” Rosie grunts in pain after she bounced off the wall.
Blood drips from her mouth, Her hand has a bloody claw mark on it.
Rosie lifts her head up hazily, 'He's too strong!' she thought. Her eyes starting to blur, she desperately tries to think of a way out.
Then suddenly, her eyes widened in realization.
'Werewolf? That's it!', Rosie looks at the big window at her right.
'The moon is its source of power, I need to close the curtain!'
Rosie muster the rest of her mana to her legs,
She propels herself towards the window, Her speed is fast enough to make Rex caught off guard.
Her hand tightly grip the curtain and immediately closes it,
Darkness soon covers the both of them,
After the curtain is closed, the moonlight can't be seen anymore. It was pure darkness inside the room.
Rosie slump on the floor, she has exhausted all of her mana in that dash.
Thud...Thud...Thud...
Rosie tiredly looks up in Rex's direction, she can saw Rex's yellow eyes slowly approaching him.
Rex arrived in front of Rosie towering over her, He raises his hand intending to slash Rosie when suddenly,
'Eh?'
A little bit of consciousness halted Rex's hand,
He looks at Rosie who is bloodied all over, 'What have I done?'.
He tried fighting it but his head is full of bloodlust, Rex looks at Rosie feeling guilty.
After mustering all his remaining willpower,
He jumped out of the window to get away from Rosie as far as possible, trying to avoid hurting her even more.
Thankfully, Rosie's home is on the outskirts of Ratmawati City so it is near the Emham forest.
Rex runs into the forest, His little bit of consciousness leads him to run as far as possible from the crowd.
Not long after, a mighty howl can be heard from the Emham forest.
Aooouuuuuuuuuu!
-------
Somewhere on the other side of the Emham Forest,
Aoooouuuuuu!!
A big hulking creature with red skin is eating a dead deer, it lifts its head up after hearing the howl.
Compare to Rex, this creature is way bigger than Rex. It's standing in two with a hideous-looking face, it has two sharp fangs coming out of its lower teeth and holding a club on his hand.
”Hmmm? There's a Werewolf invading my territory?! He dares?!”, the creatures roar in anger before it stands up and bolted towards Rex's howling sound, leaving the deer carcass.
