Suddenly , the ruby of the oath blade flashes bright red . The sword became surprisingly lighter .
"Why is it flashing , why do I suddenly feel so dizzy "
-Bloodlust
Kiro's eyes turn pitch black once again , but this time , Kiro was able to see through the monster's weak spots .
"How is this possible ? Just a few moments ago that thing was unaffected by any of my abilities , yet now I can spots more than one weak spot . Now if bloodlust is affecting it , that means time leap will affect it too "
Kiro grins then says :
-Time leap
The time slows down , The monster is almost motionless , so Kiro runs towards it in full speed , jumps and slices it's right ear .
"I don't know why , but the ear appears to be a critical spot for this hell spawn ."
The monster starts releasing demonic screeches from it's mouth .
"Wait is that.....an earring ?"
-Time leap
The time slows down once again , Kiro runs towards the ear he just cut off and picks it up from the ground .
"This has to be either an divine relic or a cursed one . "
The time goes back to normal and the monster continues screeching loudly .
"Like this abomination would be carrying anything divine "
The monster stops screeching , It stares Kiro right in the eyes and then says in a low pitch disorded voice :
-I.....want...her !
-Time leap
Kiro jumps at the monster , landing a strike on it's body . Kiro then runs behind it and climbs on it's back . He stabs it with his dagger and cuts through it's flesh like knife through butter . The time goes back to normal . The monster screeches in pain and gets ready to retaliate . It's upper ribs grow longer and sharper then she uses them to attack Kiro , trying to pierce him . Kiro manages to dodge the attacks , when suddenly , Kiro feels a sharp pain coming from his leg . His left calf was pierced and Kiro was pinned without the ability to move . The monster raises one of it's long , sharp moving ribs ready to impale Kiro , when suddenly , three ribs are cut down by non other than Camero . The rib that was keeping down Kiro was cut off too by Camero , Kiro uses this chance to back down :
-I see you aren't doing that well .
-Keep it busy until I'm able to use my leg again .
-You got it Reaper
Camero holds his sword grip tight , then he says .
-Acceleration !
Huge cuts and slices are formed on the monsters body . The monster tries to retaliate but cannot keep up with Camero's demonic speed . Kiro manages to get back on his feet .
-Your leg doesn't look quite good , are you sure .
-Shut up and listen to me , It's weak points it's apparently a part of the neck , but it's thick skin protects that vital spot , I couldn't pick it up earlier .
-So what do you suggest ?
-We go through it's skull .
-Do you believe it would work .
-We either do that or end up it's dinner .
-I see , then we got nothing to lose .
-In my mark .
Camero stays steadily while the monster gets closer using it's lower ribs .
-Time leap !
The time slows down once again , Kiro could see Camero just about to stab the creature to it's neck through it's right eye . Kiro runs towards the grotesque creature and does the same thing to the left eye . The time goes back to normal once again . Kiro and Camero hit the creature's vital spot , as the monster collapses on the ground dead .
-May your corpse rot here abomination ! - says Camero
-Well , finally , If it's not dead , I don't know what else can we do to kill it .
-I truly doubt that anything could survive such a well coordinated attack .
-I think we should get back to the castle . I need to catch some sleep .
-What about the elven assassin ?
-It turned out to be that the thing that lies dead on the ground could change forms .
-So you are suggesting that thing was the assassin all along .
-I have my doubts , but there is no other explanation .
-Then let's get back to the castle .
-Right .
