Chapter 30 - Twenty-nine (2/2)

Her tongue stretches out in the air, forked like a snake long tongue, feeling the air right in front of Leonel's face, who starts to sweat but still keeps the frozen expression on.

From the shadows surrounding the garden other mummies appear, but not like the ones we saw before, they floated midair, more like ghosts than mummies.

Clothed Mummy- Variation of Dark Mummy, is made of condensed dark substance, able to gain a Physical body, change, and morph it. They have a weak constitution, however are specialize in sound and charisma attacks.

So they are a kind of different type of sneak attackers hey?

I had a better look at them once they circulated around us, some very close to me, their long dresses moving with a non-existent wind, as well as a long untamed hair. One of them looked at me, and the only thing I saw was a skull underneath a transparent cloth, the eye holes holding green flames.

Creepy.

The Queen circulated around Leonel, with a mischievous look in her eyes and a smirk upon her lips, in the way a woman looks to a man, which send shivers of rage down my spine and a growl threatened to rise from my lips.

”You, my boy, will be our way out of this floor, uhm…” She passes her tongue over one of her eyes, going down with the tips of her long nails until it reaches Leonel's neck.

I stood up on shaky legs, my eyes focused on her as my brain starts to work.

She was level 120, I was 50, the difference was too much to compensate, even worst is that she had an army and her kick already weakened me, getting it off right on my side.

Things weren't looking good for us, I thought as I coughed another mouthful of blood, tasting the iron. Shit.

I was watching her moves, and she was so close to Leonel that I could watch his movements as well, which made me know that, even if his eyes didn't leave her, that he was very aware of my situation, closing his fist hardily to every cough of mine.

And I do the only thing that I could; I start breathing hard, 3 breaths, cough, 2 breaths, cough, 1 breath, cough, counting down for Leonel… And I feel the rage surging through my veins, burning with the jolt of adrenaline, numbing my pain and making my mouth water with the oncoming battle.

– Berserker mode Activated

– Warning –

– Side effects inbound –

Shit!

I didn't even have time to react as my vision turned to a bloody red, and all I could sense were presences, shadows moving, in a darker shade of red, and a tickling feeling surges, like spiders crawling under my skin. I felt the power of my muscles, felt my strong big paws holding my body up, licked my huge tusks, eager for the warm taste of their blood.

So that's what I did.

I attacked the closest shadow, my mind fuzzy with the need to attack, to swallow the creature whole once I got a good grip, tearing the cloth apart, opening it up and burning its body, swallowing what I could find.

But still was not enough.

I feel other surge of power as my body grown to my Hell Form, my tail gaining a pair of horns which I promptly hook on the other shadow who tried to escape, bringing it down and closer, as if it was a fishing rod, straight to my range and having it under me in seconds, scratching at it, biting, burning all together with the mere purpose of annihilating, destroying the creature.

I run back and forth then, using walls to jump higher and reach the ones trying to run away, Slashing the ones behind the presence under my paws, nonstoping as if fatigue wouldn't come, as if I couldn't get tired, as I kept biting, attacking, running and jumping.

I felt invincible.

I sense a strong presence coming closer so I dodge sideways, almost receiving an attack right at my face. The attacker didn't give me a warning, so I didn't either, simply surprising it by throwing a mouthful of flames in her direction and making her jump backward, right into my Shadow Spikes.

She escaped by throwing one of her straps of clothing at a dead tree, pulling herself out. The other presences were approaching, singing or trying to do something, but my mind only knew the thirst for their blood.

Ding – Mind Manipulation fail

It was an annoying sound nonetheless, so I use Intimidation and howl a high scream at them, opening my mouth fully and showing my line of fangs until the deeps of my throat and it's pit of fire appeared, looking like the gates of hell.

I can sense the annoying presences floating away, until, in the silence, only two remained. One stood away, alert, but the strong one bothers me, as to why wasn't her blood down my throat yet?

Queen, hum? Well, if she was a Queen, then I was a King. And what makes a King if not his subjects?

Ding – Hidden Tittle discovered – King's Might

Ding – Ability learned – Hell Army

Ding – Ability learned – Voice of command

Oi oi oi shut up! Annoying, all annoying sounds, I'll rip, scratch, bite until they stop! Without even thinking about what I was doing I simply use Voice of Command, making an army of shadow and fire Hounds rise, all smaller them I, circulating the Queen.

I sneer. No Queen no more once I'm done with her.

My army attacks, but they are like smoke to her, been driven away by the mere flicker of her fingers. I make more and more until the streets are filled with them, Hound shadows moving on walls and floors, fire hounds floating and showing their teeth at her, ready to pounce and strike, going in an endless wave, one after another.

I stood on the sidelines, waiting for an opportunity, but once I start to run at her I suddenly feel my body stiffen, making me trip down to the ground.

Wh-what was…

– Berserker mode off – Side effects inbound – Unable to move for 4 hours – Counting start…

I could only feel as my body shrunk more and more, until I was taken off the ground only so that all the pain returned at once, in one strong kick, and hearing my army fight I pass out.
