The sleeping mountain 3

The avalanche devoured tree by tree, monsters were buried one after the other as they screeched, screamed, trying to escape.

Link at the very front with Dark Bane in his hand, that he had grabbed at the last moment, cursed his luck while sprinting off in the distance, Emma was no extremely confused, and even a bit frightened.

Had her hands gripping hard on the bag.

Links speed was just enough for him to out speed the avalanche and not throw off Emma, but he knew that he would run out of stamina soon.

He kept slashing at every creature that showed up his way, for that bit of extra stamina that he steals every time, while eyeing every place, for a safe spot.

But his bad luck streak seemed to be persistent as he couldn't find an escape from his current predicament.

Rather, it worsened even further as if his luck held a grudge from Link's cursing, he had reached a very wide crevice.

He of course had the enough strength to jump over to the other side, but he wasn't quite sure he could do it, with the heavy bag pack and Emma on his shoulders.

”There is no other choice, I have to make it, Emma hold on as hard as you can, I'm going to jump.”

”Wha”

But before Emma could reply, Link jumped over with Limit Breaker activated, but he frowned as he noticed himself falling down shortly after.

'Shit its not enough'

He thought, before mustering every last bit of mana left in his body as fast as he could.

'Comeoooonnnn'

The mana, blew up his veins, as they traveled in a very rapid, and reckless manner towards his legs.

He couldn't bother with control, the more seconds that passes, the less his chances of success in making the jump.

As soon the Mana reached the bottom of his feet's, Link combusted it, damaging his legs in the process.

But it was worth it as he managed to jump over and finally land.

Falling flat on his face, the bag and Emma was thrown off his shoulders, unable to keep on holding on.

If they were late by just a second, they would have fallen inside the deep crevice, possibly loosing their lives in the progress, buried by the incoming avalanche, their corpses to never be found.

Emma, who had just fallen, instantly stood and ran up to Link frantically, with extreme worry apparent on her face.

Flipping him over her face grimaced.

Seeing his bloodied legs, and the bite mark of the Albanian wolf on Link's arm, fear grew in her heart.

She had just met him, but he had tried his best to protect her.

She didn't know what to do, she hated the feeling of being helpless, being unable to help those who needed her help.

Her head dropped on his chest as she started to cry.

”Sir…please….please..don't die…”
