Damn...

This…

This monster is strong…

My body feels so sore.

The wolves were on the ground breathing slowly, blood flowing out of their wounds.

The two girls were knocked out and sprawled on the ground.

I grip my knife and clench my teeth. I whisper, without looking back and only staring forwards.

"Just a bit more Sylvia. The sun is setting..."

...........

It happened in a blink of an eye.

The wolves had arrived and it was looking good. Bite marks along its arms and legs, torn flesh everywhere and green blood oozing out of its body.

But then it happened.

I picked up a corpse of a goblin and ate it.

No.

Swallowed it.

It opened its jaws and dropped the goblin in its mouth. The goblin body could be seen as it traveled down its throat and then with a plop, into its stomach.

The crazy thing was that its wounds started to heal.

Green smoke enveloped the wounds. Sharp hissing sounds came from it and once the smoke dispersed a new layer of green skin could be seen.

Its long red tongue licks its lips and it reveals a disgusting smile.

If the Blood Ogre's smile was terrifyingly creepy then this was absolutely horrific. It would have made Lucina faint with just its smile.

"Uhh, what's the plan, Luke?"

Sylvia approached me slowly whispering into my ear as we both stare at the monster as it regenerates its wounds faster than a wolf would leap on a defenseless rabbit.

"Kill it before it regenerates anymore. Just keep piling on the damage...I think."

"Okay sounds good! Go Luke I believe in you!!"

I roll my eyes at Sylvia as I see her pointing at the monster with her knife but expressing that I should be the one to deal with it.

I should have run at this point. Leaving the monster to its own devices and leaving with everyone including the two girls. It was clear they were the only survivors left since no other human or humanoid had approached us even after all the fighting and destruction.

But I fought it.

I ran at it with my knife slicing here and there while the wolves coordinated with me swiping their paws at the monster with the occasional bite.

Its arms swung around, picking up dirt and dust. It growled and howled at us and its inability to retaliate.

It was going well.

Too well.

Because I let my guard down at this moment.

I did not learn my lesson.

After slicing the monster's back with my knife I felt the air leaving my lungs.

The pain sunk in and I was blasted through the air, landing on the ground and coughing up blood.

I wince at the pain and grab my stomach.

That monster...After failing around unable to hit me or the wolves just started to beat us down.

After punching me, it went on to grab one of the wolf's hind legs in mid-air and swing it down smashing its body against the earth.

Followed up with a kick against the side of the other wolf launching the wolf further away crashing into the pile of wooden rubble.

I picked myself up and rush in front of the monster as it started to approach Sylvia.

I was panting hard, desperately getting air into my lungs as I watch it slowly approach me.

So many questions run through my head but now was just not the time for that.

"Sylvia, walk back slowly and when I give you the signal run away as fast as you can."

"What but-"

"NO BUTS! Just run, please."

The monster did not even consider me as an opponent.

I was not even in the same league like it.

All it took was a punch and I was practically sent flying out of the fight.

Any wounds heal after it cannibalizes a goblin.

It had abnormal strength.

Long reach.

Powerful legs.

And a sinister gaze as it leans forward.

It cooks its head in front of me. Its eyes staring right into mine. I swallow my saliva before stabbing the monster in the eye with my knife.

"RUN SYLVIA!"

After stabbing it I rush forward grabbing its body and pushing it back but to no avail. I could not move it but that's fine I just need to distract...it.

Like a frog hunting flies, it launched its long tongue at Sylvia's back. Piercing through her body and out the other side.

"Oh no. Oh no no no. SYLVIA!"

I let go of the monster's body and sliced the elongated tongue. A blood-curdling cry fills my ears but I wasn't bothered by that I ran towards Sylvia's falling body. Catching it just before it falls.

"S-Sylvia are you ok?"

Her weak voice escapes her mouth as she looks at me.

"Y-you idiot. Finish the job won't you? I-I'm going to rest here."

Her eyes close and her breathing slows.

I stand up.

With the sun setting on my back I face the monster.

I can see the hatred in its eyes.

I howl at the sky and I could feel it.

The moon looking down upon me.

My body starts to glow a soft yellow.

"I can feel you, Aur. Lend me your strength. GOLDEN ASCENSION!"
