Act: 26
The four monsters turned their heads towards Shizu, roaring at him and initiating the start of their attacks. Shizu charged forward, jumping in the air, and avoiding the sword that slammed into the ground coming from his left. Looking to his right seeing the bull man's fist, with the ax in his right hand and his left hand being free, he blocks the punch trying with all his might to push it back, only to be pushed himself in the process.
From behind the other orc swings its sword at him but Shizu pushes forward jumping onto the bull's hand, running up its arm quickly causing that orc's swing to slice in between the bull's fingers, in an effort from trying to kill Shizu in pain, the bull screeches almost causing him to lose balance. The orc prepared for another slash at him, not showing any care about the bull. Shizu thinks, turning slightly, looking at the orc with his sword stuck in the ground and then back to see the other bull coming his way.
"Ok ax show me how useful you can be and if I think this is right, I should be able to call you back in my hand with my resurrection like how I would normally summon?"
Aiming his ax, he threw it as hard as he could, it flew and hit the orc in the shoulder disrupting him as it was trying to remove its sword. This was the perfect distraction to stall as much time as he could. Until his ax returned to his hand. Shizu prepared himself, ready to slice open the neck of the bull he was standing on.
"Orc Summon!"
The ax manifested in his hands but instead, Shizu had teleported to the ax instead, now on that orc's shoulder.
"What! This is way better than I thought it would be... Ah, now I have a new plan!"
He looked behind seeing the bull he was on get sliced in two from the orc not knowing Shizu was no longer on there. Shizu grinned as he removed the ax and leaped to its head and brutally cut open the orc's neck, he then threw his ax at the other orc's arm.
"Orc Summon!"
He appeared on the orc's arm, swinging himself on top and dragging his ax through its thick skin, the orc yelled slapping Shizu off its arm with its left hand. His body flew back but he wasn't done there, Throwing his ax straight up in the air. The orc swung its sword at Shizu's vulnerable body.
"Orc Summon!"
Teleporting in time he avoided the swing and while in midair he threw his ax back at its arm. He began to continue this chain of attacks; he was also surprised by how much smarter and more relentless this orc was compared to the other one which died so fast. Sliding to the ground Shizu waited again for it to swing at him, blood was slowly falling from his arm and head from being hit back and forth and almost getting cut. At the right time it again, it swung its sword, and he was ready, leaping over he threw his ax and teleported running up its already cut arm digging the ax deeper in its skin, he took it out and threw it once more aiming for the head.
The orc grinned, as it grabbed the ax predicting what his next move was, and clenched its fist. Shizu, already aware of this; he wound up his fist and went for the punch instead. The orc saw and panicked, dropping the ax and trying to swat him off his shoulder.
"Bleh!"
Shizu stuck out his tongue giggling.
"Orc Summon."
Teleporting to the falling ax he took one last good swing and threw it at its neck, the ax hit and pierced through its neck killing it. Though he didn't think about the drop.
"This is going to hurt!"
Tensing his body, he fell and hit the floor, breaking it slightly from the impact.
"Oww that hurt... At least that fight was easy thanks to the ax and them technically killing each other. But why do I have a feeling that something is off?"
Looking over his shoulder he saw the last bull-man just standing there. Suddenly its stomach began to open, forming a mouth that was wide open. It started to inhale everything, and the dead bodies began to move slowly along with Shizu.
"What the hell! I must hurry and loot! These guys may have something amazing that I could miss out on!"
Two of the orcs ended up getting swallowed and he only had enough time to loot and collect from the bull-man before it too started to drift away along with him.
"Ah uh, ah uh- if I do this now, I know it'll hurt like hell! Ah, I have no other option right now."
Trying to keep himself stuck to the ground he lifts one hand in the air shoving his fingertips straight into the flooring securing himself from flying away and he ended up doing this with the other hand.
"Argh! That hurt so bad. I know my nails are bleeding or chipped off for sure. I wonder how long this will last!"
His legs dangled upwards as he also turned his head to see if it was done yet. He watched as the last bull-man flew up into its mouth crunching at its waist, blood spewed out everywhere and the torso dropped to the ground.
Its body changed and emitted a serious potent smell. He slowly stood up and watched. The torso became a black and red color, its legs began to turn into bull hooves, its arms had a red line going up to its back but then two other arms came from out its waist with the same design. It grew two horns arching forward and two on its upper shoulder.
"No way..."
"At all, can I live this..."
The monster growled from its mouth and the one on its stomach, the roar was so loud that it threw Shizu up off his feet and gilded him back. His body tumbled before he caught his balance. Blood spilled deeper from his forehead.
"Heh, damn I'm scared but one of us has to die and I hope it's not me!"
Shizu sighs.
"Orc Summon!"
Nothing happened.
"I said. Orc Summon!"
Nothing happened.
The bull monster began to move towards him.
"Why are you not working! I know I have enough energy. I'm not having any drawbacks to my body. Orc Summon!"
The same voice of the squeaky girl was heard.
"Sorry, but you have no more crystallll and it's all gone forever. Try and fight him nowww."
Shizu started to get annoyed and looked over to see where he threw his ax, seeing how half of it was stuck in the ceiling and the other half somewhere else.
"You know this is annoying now, I'll seriously die, there's no way I can beat that! Then you'll never get to finish this game! Ya, hear me!"
She responded in a more serious depressed tone while retaining the squeakiness.
"Then you're not the one. So, die or don't die on me."
"Lookout."
While he had been looking around, he somewhat forgot about the bull and fully looked back in its direction.
The bull's mouth on its stomach opened and spoke in a very ominous tone that shook him to the core, saying something that was quite impossible to make out. Once it finished a large black and red Star appeared in front of its mouth.
Shizu's face is full of fear. Seeing that it had its deadly red energy flowing around him and now had a mixture of Star energy on the outside of its current energy. The bull purposely was making its energy visible to Shizu. The Star disappeared and the bull grabbed the nearest pillar in the wall, ripping it out and it was faster than before by 30%. Throwing the pillar at him. He flung his body out of the way and straight for the ground avoiding it at the right time, as it made contact and dug deep within the floor the sheer force was enough to toss his body even further away.
"I seriously can't believe I was able to avoid that... Any slower and I would definitely be a goner."
Putting his hands down, and lifting himself up, he looked at the monster and felt the ground shake as its body charged at him.
'That's impossible, how the hell did it manage to get a Star! Let alone what the heck is its ability- too many things to know and too many questions I have and not enough answers!'
"..."
"I hate you."
Shizu stood up charging at the monster heading his way.
