Chapter 8 - 8 Combat

The gash on the beast's shoulder was bleeding everywhere, if it stood still a pool of red would form under it. Derek had managed to injure the creature, it had a visible limp as it dashed toward Derek and Gavin. They both scrambled out of the way, narrowly avoiding the massive beast. Derek felt a strong gust of wind and quickly turned around. *CLANG* Sparks flew as Derek stopped the creature's teeth last second with his arm. The beast was now directly above Derek, and Derek was holding his arm in the beast's mouth to hold it back.

From across the room, Gavin had an idea. "Karoth, I want you to go for that thing's eyes on my signal"

Meanwhile Derek was struggling to keep the beast away from his face, the muscles all through-out his body being used in the effort. Thin lines started to web their way through his arm, 'Oh shit, this is bad! My arm is gonna-' "GO!" Derek quickly turned to the side to see that Karoth was dashing towards him and the beast at incredible speeds. A red line was left in a trail as he ran, he had been strengthened.

*KRRRRRAKKK* A crater was left in the ground where Karoth had jumped from and an ear peircing sound had filled the air, dust shooting out from behind him. The dust cleared, the right side of the beast's face was a bloody mess, and Derek had managed to scramble out from under the beast. Derek whipped around to see Karoth tearing into the right side of the beast's face.

Derek turned his head to see Gavin standing next to him, a grin spreading on his face. "Holy sh*t, you seeing this Derek?" Derek nodded. The beast was now focused on nothing except for getting Karoth off of it's face. It twisted and contorted it's body, slamming into walls and dragging it's head aalong the floor.

Something that sounded between a roar and a groan of agony came from the beast's throat, the sound distorted by the gurgling of blood within the beast's throat. Derek looked down to see Karoth on the floor, covered in blood, and it wasn't his.

The little drake had torn out the beast's throat and blood was gushing from the wound, staining the floor red. The beast let out one final choked roar before it finally slumped to the floor, dead. "Holy sh*t Gavin, did we really take that thing out?" Asked Derek, not believing his own eyes. "Yeah, we actually did! Holy sh*t we did it!"

*Ding* [Aggressive Lifeform neutralized, it's soul will now be absorbed] Derek felt energy fill his body, this feeling was amazing, he could see himself getting addicted to it in the future.
