200 Challenge completed (1/2)
Darkness was all that Christina could see.
Thump Thump Thump...
The beating of her heart reached her ear, but its sound faded away like an echo.
Cold...
The Fenrir's cold breath ran across her cheeks, penetrating her skull.
'Where am I? Am I dead? Is this what death feels like? It's cold and dark here,' she thought to herself. ”No... this coldness...”
The strange bracelet flashed a message in her mind.
[Frost Bite - Fenrir's Ultimate skill]
'Ahh, yes... Now, I remember. I died facing that unbeatable monster. Every one of them... dead. No one survived.'
The two figures of her sisters appeared; the look on their faces as they died filled her mind. 'Corrie, Maxine. I'm sorry I let you down.'
More images of her sisters and comrades appeared. 'Jennie, you sacrificed your life to save us, but I... I wasted it. I'm terribly sorry... Nam, you were strong, but this monster was just too much for us to handle.'
She recalled the time before the world descended into chaos. 'Why me though? What do they want from me? I'm just your ordinary woman. I lived day to day life normally. I'm only a mother caring for my children.'
'Kelly, my daughter, please forgive mom for not being able to save you from the plague.'
'Caleb, my son, sorry that mom has to leave you so soon. I'm sorry...'
'Mother...'
Thump Thump Thump...
The chill had completely covered her heart and the sound of her heartbeat was like an echo from a faraway distance. But in the center of her heart, a small flame blazed, melting the ice that was slowly eating her entire being.
Thump Thump Thump...
The image of her son waiting for her appeared. Her daughter also appeared and hugged her. Kelly's warm embrace, Caleb waiting for her hug. 'No, no, no! I can't die here! The plague took my daughter and my son is awaiting my return! Kelly! Caleb!”
Christina's blank eyes regained their life as she woke up from her trance. The Alpha Fenrir was right in front of her with its fangs only an inch away. It's cold breath still touched her cheek while its claw tightly gripped her body which was almost filled with ice.
However, despite the freezing cold, she could feel her body emitting a warm sensation that was slowly getting stronger by the second. Christina was familiar with this feeling for this was the same heat she could transfer to her weapons igniting it with flames, but this time, the heat was all over her body.
A moment later, Christina felt the warm sensation expand and explode!
Crackk! Crackk! Booom!
The ice that had covered her body melted away and evaporated into the air. The moment Fenrir had felt the warm sensation, its instinct took over, and had to let go of Christina.
ROOAARR!!!
”!!!”
And as luck would have it, right before her eyes was the protruding broken half of the sword she had pierced into the Fenrir in their fight earlier. She didn't have time to think much, so she dashed forward grabbing the broken body of the sword and transferred the blazing energy coursing through her entire body.
”AAAAAAAAAAA!!!” Christina pushed the sword as she put all her anger and hope into this one attack.
Boom!
The flames burst inside the Fenrir and escaped through its orifices!
RRROOOOAARRR!
The Fenrir was still alive, but its roar had a different tone this time. Christina's attack seemed to finally inflict a considerable amount of pain on the Alpha Fenrir.
Surely this predator wouldn't let such humiliation from its prey. It waved its two giant arms toward Christina from two different sides. It's sharp claws and powerful strength was still something Christina could neither parry nor dodge!
Ssppplllaattt!!! Sppllaattt!!!
Blood splashed on the ground, but it wasn't her blood. She looked to her side and saw that Nam was on the left while Maxine was on the right. They were still alive, but they were clearly gravely injured.
They had woken up due to Christina's blast and managed to summon their last strength when they saw the injured Fenrir trying to crush Christina. They had tried to block the attack by lunging their bodies in the direct path of the Alpha Fenrir's sharp claws, lodging its claws tightly on their torso.
Nam spat out more blood. He looked at Christina with his pale face and said with great difficulty while holding the Fenrir's claw, ”Finish off... this bastard monster!”
”You can do it... Sis!”
Christina didn't have time to ponder where her strength was coming from, but she poured all of her wills to break through the limit of her body and push the melting broken sword to kill the Alpha Fenrir in front of her.
”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”
The blazing flames once more spread throughout Fenrir's body and exploded!
BOOM!!!
ROOOAAAARRRRRR!!!
The Fenrir tried to slam the two humans holding its claw but it was too late as another wave of blaze entered its body. Its insides were boiling and a third explosion occurred!
BOOOM!!
