Kanibora unleashed her powers to stop that creature from harming Dan. Strong glow came out of her. She let out a blow which counterattacked the beast. It was thrown far away. But it was persistent and got up again. It used its incredible speed to confuse them about its movement and came to attack again. But this time it didn't work. Kanibora casted a spell and countless ropes, glowing like lava caught the beast. It was now struggling to move. Kanibora had succeeded to capture it. She moved her fingers and the ropes soon let out sharp points and they all went into the beast's flesh. The beast let out a huge cry. Kanibora used her powers to tighten the ropes as they continued to go inside the beast's body.
The beast went crazy to get out of it. It was growling in anger .It used its teeth to pull out the ropes but his every attempt resulted in failure. Soon, it stopped struggling and completely stopped moving. The protective shield was broken.
" Woah....at last.", Danachi said.," I thought I wasn't going to see tomorrow's sun."
" Do you think that lowly of me?", Kanibora frowned though she also thought that they were gonna die and now she was thankful that her powers worked.
" No, absolutely not. This time, you saved me. ", Danachi replied.
" Let's just say...we saved each other." ,Kanibora smiled.
"By the way, are you going to leave that thing alone like that?",Danachi pointed at the beast.
" I'm gonna take care of it tomorrow morning. It healed fast before but it'll be hard to get out of the ropes now.The more it'll try to break free, the more they'll cut into it's flesh. It'll be in pain and die eventually. It'll be okay to leave it here."
" That's a relief, let's go back now. Where's the cave?", Dan asked.
" We'll just need to go in that direction and we'll reach it." , Kanibora said while pointing west., " But if you want to I can teleport you there."
" But your magic doesn't work on me.", Dan said.
" I think I can make it- ", kanibora suddenly felt dizzy.
"What's wrong?", Dan looked worried.
" My head- it feels heavy. I feel like I'm-" ,she couldn't finish her words before she lost her consciousness.
" Bora! BORA!!! Bora, wake up!", Dan had caught her in time and was trying to wake her up.
"Oh no!", He thought," Its dangerous to stay here right now." Without wasting any time, he put kanibora on his back and started going west. But after a while he had lost his track. The moonlight that had come through the woods, lasted just a moment. The fireflies were gone too. It was dark as the deep ocean. Dan decided to take the clear path to the wast cave. After encountering the beast, he had no problem dealing with foxes. After wandering around hopelessly, he had finally found the clear path. The trees were less dense there so the moonlight came through. Everything could be seen clearly. He took his steps in a hurry to reach.
After a while, he had come in a place which had a deserted scenery. The soil there was quite sand-like. And there were little caves around. To reach the west cave, he had go through these caves. He took steady steps to pass that area but all was in vein. He suddenly heard a whine of foxes and when he turned around, there were hundreds of them behind him. The foxes soon surrounded him, unwilling to let them pass.
Danachi tried to keep his mind cool as he slowly started moving forward. But the foxes grinded their teeth with anger. He had to stop. In his mind, he was desperate searching for a way to pass this.
At that moment, a fox came towards him. He froze. It smelled his body and let out a cry. The foxes immediately broke the circle and went out of their way , clearing the path. Danachi let out a sigh in relief and hurriedly headed for the wast cave.
Kanibora was quite light-weighted than he had thought. He could carry her all the time but because he was climbing up a high road, the weight became double. His legs were starting to hurt. And his shoulder was about to go numb not to mention, his wound that he got from the beast was bleeding nonstop.
" I can atleast do this much.", he thought.
He continued to bear it until he reached the cave. The entrance of the cave was covered by the waterfall, only a little of it was left exposed. Danachi took Kani to the cave and made her sit down steady so she doesn't fall. He then went outside. The cave wasn't high from where the water had fallen. Dan checked his wound. It was quite bad. The beast had bitten off a lump of flesh from his shoulder. He cleaned his wound and covered it with a piece of cloth. He then found something like a bowl and carried water to Kanibora.
He washed her face and made her drink some water.Then he proceeded to wake her up.
"Hey, bora. Can you hear me?", He tapped on her face
But even after a while, she didn't regain her consciousness. Dan continued to try to wake her up.
He touched her face. It was cold. His heart skipped a beat.
" Bora! Bora!! Are you there? Bora, wake up!!", He was shaking her.It worked. Kanibora seemed to come to her senses.She opened her eyes.
" Danachi?", She said.
" Yes, I'm here. How are you feeling?", Danachi asked.
" Better. Did I really pass out?", She became tensed.
" You did. I brought you to the west cave. Can you get up now?"
" Give me a moment while I regain my powers again. It'll be quick."
Kanibora concentrated on getting her powers back. She closed her eyes and started focusing. Soon, she regained her energy and was good enough.
