"Shit!" Riz jumps on one of the corpses and strikes it with the perching blow from her spear through the corpse's head and uses it as a boost to run past the other corpse to get to the new monster that just pop out. She gives it a big blow attack to it but a chain of bone that was a tail has been used to whip her. She defended herself before that thing hit her by clawing it. Due to the hit, she fall to the wall as she wailed in pain. She picks up her spear and strikes on the monster's eye but it manages to avoid it.
The monster and the corpse walk toward her as she tries to stand up. She touch her forehead and felt a liquid sustains was dripping from her forehead. She then turns into her half-tiger form and sprint toward the monster. The monster pulls its tailbone and hit the ground which causes an earthquake. She use her leg and one of her hands to make sure she was balanced and force her way by slashing them with her spear on the other hand.
The more turmoil that was made the more unstable the mine were. Those corpses that were nearby were been devoured by it. That creature seem not to see the corpse as it family seem to like it was this place's boss or rather the original owner of this mine The more it ate them the and it evolved into a more gruesome monster, that emitted purple smoke from its mouth. It seems that it was affected by the drug that the corpse consumes when they are still alive.
'Just great it even evolved!!' Riz sprints toward it and climbs it body, the monster tries to shake her off from it body as it keeps rampaging. She let the claw out and it became a hook that was used to ensure her not to fall. She bites the monster's flesh and eats it as the monster tries to peel her from it back by smashing itself with Riz together toward the wall. She uses the spear and stabs it at the same place that she already bites.
Meanwhile….
Lilith was still standing in front of the mine entrance due to shock by the suddenly collapsed rock, She felt that she was a burden and can't do anything when it happened. Not only that she left Riz alone to fight the monster that suddenly emerged out of nowhere. She felt that her mother was right she was a burden. Even with her power, she can't help others.
"I can't stay here and do nothing! That's right I can use that but it might be a bit risky." She pull out her katana and chanted a sell on it the katana turn into a spirit form of fire. She rummaged in her pocket she take out a diamond shape item that seems float and put it on the floor, it let a bright light from it and the light shone can be seen about half the city block. "Now with this, I'm sure the spirit will protect her... now I just need to find a new way to get back to Riz." She first tries to dig it and manages to make a hole but even if she changed to her animal form she still can't get in.
*Kon*
"HUH?' she turns around and see a small fox looking at her. It had a weird symbol on its body that was engraved with its fur. The fox seems to have a weird aura that came from it. Its eye look into Lilith and got her captivated by the sight, She became more confused with what she wanted to do now. " Are you the spirit that I call for help to protect Riz?" The small fox then walk pass her and get into the small hole without even bothering about what was going on. Lilith who saw that was feeling curious and was speechless again because the little fox just ignored her. She sense there was dangerous from the little fox aura that was emitted from it and it went inside the mine.
The fox manage to get into the mine was fall into the dirty water, it stand up and shake off the water from its body and ran toward the sound of a tiger and a shriek of a monster coming from the deepest of the mine. It then suddenly changed into a beautiful man with red hair, every time there was a corpse that neared him. He pulls out his longbow that from the thin air from his back and shoots them right at its vital point. He turns back into the form of the little fox to run even faster toward Riz's voice.
The little fox ran with his little paw toward the deepest dark mine.
*Kon* it let out it noise that attracted the other corpse that was still there. Riz saw the little fox and let out a loud roar as a sign that she was happy to see him. The corpse then begins to charged at him and ignored Riz who still fighting with the monster. He changed back and use her skill to make a rain of arrows fly throughout them as it piercing to their body.
Just as they about to attack him, he then smiles and a red flame begin to devour all the corpse that was there. "Dare to touch me you unwanted pile of trash!" he then prick his finger and with the small amount of blood that was out were became a huge flame when it get in contact with the corpse.
"Hey! Riz that's enough playing would ya?" he looked at the monster and Riz who was still at its back. "I know you are a lot stronger than this.." he said with an unamused facial expression. He seem to notice that Riz did not use her full potential power.
Riz changed back to her human form and then a flash of light from all over the place were surrounding the monster, that brightening the mine that was pitch black before. All of a sudden the monster was fall down and did not even move. It gives a loud noise of people shrieking in pain as it tumbles down that shaking this place more.
Riz who landed with her two legs was saved and seem there was a bit of wound that she gain from the fight. "Well, it won't be fun if it killed early….Queen" She said with a big smile on her face. It seems after all this time she can defeat the monster and can be avoided been hurt. Yet, she decides to fight it normally without using her mana.
"I hate seeing you hurt and here you are taking your sweet time defeating it" Queen put back his bow and walked toward her to stand beside, Riz who seem to look at the corpse of the monster. "You do know why I hate using my mana... it will drain me a lot faster and make me fatigue easily." She then neared the monster's corpse and put her hand at them. Queen just look at what she was doing and decide whatever she think it was not his business to poke his curiosity. Riz put her hand on It and felt it was sticky. She was about to walk pass the monster's corpse but see something shiny that seem to be stuck near the vine that surrounded its body. She seem to find something interesting inside the monster that she had defeated. What a great founding she said in her heart.
"Well.... now it defeated. How are we going to get out from here "He smell the odor that was in the air and it smell like a rotten fish had died and was been out for a whole five-month. His inside felt like it going to exploded if he keep standing there or stay even longer. He held his vomit before it came out from his stomach. "Talk about a sewer smell here… Just what were you thinking going in here.." he kick the monster and then poke it with his hand.
Riz just stare toward the deepest part of the mine and in his eye she seem to have some cluess about this mission.
"It seems we need to go even deeper into the mine to find out the real reason why this corpse was alive" she grabs Queen's hand, which he doesn't even decide to come along on her mission and now both of them walk pass the monster.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So you said that Riz inside the mine?" Eight look at the rumble.
"Yeah, it seem by the time you guys came the noise no longer can be heard...probably Riz win or worst she..." Lilith try not to think something that worst.
"DAMMMMMMNNNN IT! WE MISS THE FIGHT!" Seven was rampage and kicking the rock that seem innocent.
"Don't worry she won't loss..." Hikkun who just arrived seem to bought his hammer.
"Now...let smash this fucker!!" Hikkun swing the hammer toward the rock as it crumble that cause a loud hit; the rock fall and cause the new entrance were made.
Lilith, Seven and Eight were shock by Hikkun action who hit and even the Hammer that which much larger them, He swing it as like it was nothing.
All under Riz know that Hikkun was worthy to be her assistant no matter what. "All of you make sure there no weird people nearby this place stay alert while the four of us get to Riz! MEANWHILE, some of you make sure to clean the entrance from been block off again!"
"That the order do you guys understand!"
"YES SIR!!"
'I will never doubt Riz assistant ability again' said the three of them inside their mind.
Somewhere far from their place a certain man with hoodie were look at them.... he take out his cigarette and lit it up. the purple smoke was made from the light up of the cigarette bud. his eye became dilated as he watch them trying their best to save Riz.
(So...what the status Anubis? Did they manage to open the mine back?) a voice that came from the device that was hang on his hip.
"Seem like they manage to smash it into a bit... man talk about force and will power right now" he was amused by the sight.
"Well for sure Riz and the little fox is neared you....so better get moving Leon."
