Chereads / The Return of Origin / Chapter 4 - <Prologue> The End For A New Beginning Part 1/3

Chapter 4 - <Prologue> The End For A New Beginning Part 1/3

"Shit..!" I dodged it's attack just barely..! I looked back to see the damage the attack brings and saw that the room behind me was completely deleted..

"What the hell is that..?!" I exclaimed while looking at my enemies warily..

*SCREEEECH!*

It releases a screech that is almost unbearable for the ears and suddenly two more enemies spawned right beside it.

"What?! That's cheating..!" I have no time to complain as instantly the enemy had already moved right in front of me swinging it's sharp axe downwards while the other one stabbed it's spear towards me from behind..

"..!" I quickly side stepped and redirected the incoming spear behind me with my hand and let the other swings downward.

*CLANK* *SPARK*

A loud clashing sound could be heard as I let the axe wielding enemy hit the spear of the other hoping it would stall them a bit while I instantly dashed forward towards the main enemy.

"Take this!" I prepared a full powered round house kick towards the main enemy but it defended pretty easily with it's staff.

*TAP* *CLANK*

"Damn it..!" I instantly reflexively moved to the side and suddenly just like before.. the room right behind me suddenly disappeared into nothingness.

"Oi..! Oi..! Isn't this cheating..?!" I complained while thinking of a way to beat this type of enemy.

The main enemy has a humanoid body that resembles a tall woman. It carries a giant circle staff that was decorated with a loud bell with a background that looks like a clock. It's attire are all out of this world.

The spawned enemy also had a similar figure which resembles a male humanoid that carries a variety of weapons it seems..

'It's defense is very strong alongside it's devastating attack.. How can I even beat this enemy..?!' I tried to think of a way. But before I could react suddenly right next to me one of the spawn had already moved next to me.

"Crap..!" I can't dodge the attack and I could only redirect it barely..!

"Tsk..!" *CLANK*

I redirect the axe with my hand but doing this also damages my hand greatly.. and with this distraction I used my other hand to punch him as hard as possible..

*PUNCH* *BANG*

The spawn was launched across the place hitting the wall hard enough to crack it. But I didn't stop there, I immediately dashed in once again and barrages it with relentless punches.

*PUNCH* *PUNCH* PUNCH* *PUNCH*

But all of that doesn't matter under their strong defense..

*WOOSH*

"Tsk..! It still is very strong..!" I dodged it's desperate swing to get me off him..

*SCREEEECH!*

Then I heard another loud screech and immediately retreated back.

*SHOOOOSH*

It was suddenly almost silent.. no sound could be heard. My danger senses were running off the limits, my body was sensing an abnormal amount of danger.. and it was coming from the monster..

Without I realise.. I could tell that the two other spawns that it made had disappeared.. but this realisation came late because..

"..?!" Suddenly a giant hand had already spawned right above me and crushes me with it's force..

*CRASH* *CRUMBLE*

"Grr..!" I could only held back the pain as it crushed my body and I couldn't do anything but held in as best as I could..

"F..Fuck..!!" My body could only hold for so much longer before I was really crushed to death..

'What can I do..?' I could not do anything.. I had done everything alone until now.. so I had never expected anyone to help me..

"Shihori.." An image of Shihori crossed my mind.. the memory of our promise to be together..

*CRACK*

"Argh..!" I won't hold for much longer.. I need to find a way. To save her from this madness.. to protect my only loved ones..

"*sigh*.. Hah!" I used all of my strength to try and lift the giant hand.. of course it didn't even budge but slowly but surely.. the force that my body felt was reducing.

"I WILL SURVIVE..!" I proclaimed as I had done everything alone.

"HAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" I used everything I had and lifted the giant hand once again.

*SCREEEEEEEEECHH!!!!!!*

The monster didn't seem to like that and tried to press me down even harder.. but I created enough opening for me to escape!

"This is your end, monster!" I punched it's face as hard as possible with my strength and pushed it back far enough that I can rush in again.

*KICK*

"I'M NOT DONE!" Despite how many attacks I gave it though.. it didn't seem to be damaged at all..!

'Tsk! My body will reach it's limit before I defeat this little shit!' I thought in amidst of attacking. But it distracted me enough to not realised that the monster held a smile on it's face.

"What?!" And suddenly it already summoned another hand and grabbed me crushing me under it's force..!

"Grah..!" It felt like every bone in my body was in verge of breaking because of the strength..!

'In the end.. Is this the limit of what human can only do..?' I thought while I could feel my ribs touching my heart threatening to stab it with it sharp edges..

I had not yet given up.. but my body had. I had used up all of my stamina and strength.. I can't even struggle anymore.. but hope hasn't completely abandoned me..

"GENJI!!" I could a hear a familiar voice that was screaming my name..

"FREEZING TOUCH" Then I could suddenly feel the coldness of ice..

"SWOOOSH* *CRACK* *SHATTER*

"Genji! Are you okay..?!" I take a glance at the person who had helped me..

"Masayoshi.." I couldn't muster out any words..

"I am here, Genji. You can not win this alone..!" He said something that I know but I never wanted to accept it.. but just this time..

"I know.." I stood up once again regaining my composure and strength slowly..

"Masayoshi..!" Then I could hear the others are coming here. I did not care and faced the monster again who is silent while looking deeply into my soul..

"That monster is not something normal.. you cannot get hit by any of it's attack.. if you did you die" I explained quickly.

"I will support you, Genji. We just need to attack it relentlessly!" Masayoshi said while eyeing the monster.

"It's not that easy, Masayoshi. We need cooperation from everyone." I said while glancing at the others who had also came here.

"Tori-san would shoot at it's hand or try to kill the monster that it will spawn quickly" I said to Tori-san who had already taken her bow and arrow from the Archery clubroom.

"Hatsumi-san, you should analyse the enemy attack and give them commands" I said to Hatsumi-san who nodded shyly.

"And you.. Fuuji-san. You are our key, we need to take it down with a sweep force. Use your traps to try to one shot it. We will distract it" I said to him who was silent..

"I don't know why you are so kind to us despite your own pain.." He suddenly said while walking forward slowly.

"But.. just this time.. I will.. help you" He said while facing towards the enemy and standing right besides us.

"Good.. now the enemy had waited for us long enough.. so BEGIN!" I immediately ran in and we started our battle of survival..!
