Thanks to Master and I being so horny, I had forgotten entirely about that topic, and now, I'm stuck in a situation where more information about it would prove to be incredibly helpful. Cursing under my breath, I glanced down at the monster, only to see it staring right at us with its three large eyes, causing me to clench Yuki's hand subconsciously.
"A-Alex, i-if we die, I-I just want you to know I've greatly enjoyed my time together with you; you're an amazing friend, better than one I could ever ask for." Stated Yuki solemnly as she fearfully stared at the massive monster before glancing at Alexander, who wryly smiled to her left.
"I-I appreciate it, a-and, I feel the same. H-However, remember all those times when our bodies will be touching for prolonged periods of time, and I'll suddenly start tickling you?" Replied Alexander with a nod and a faint smile before glancing at Yuki, who nodded in response.
"W-Well, that wasn't me tickling you, t-that was my erect cock rubbing against you. S-Sorry. I-I try not to get erect, but you're very beautiful, Yuki, and the clothes you wear barely conceal your massive bust; I-I just can't help it." Added Alexander with a deep blush of shame and embarrassment while Yuki's eyes widened before she, too, blushed.
"I-I would've kept it a secret, b-but since you revealed that, I-I guess I should reveal the truth. E-Every night, I-I pleasure myself while thinking about you, Alex. Y-You're the only friend I've ever had, and y-you treated me so nicely; no one besides my Mother has ever been so nice to me. N-Not to mention you put up with all of my bull shit; I-I'm really thankful I've met you, Alex." Declared Yuki with a crimson blush amidst her bluish-tinted skin, while Alexander seemed utterly shocked.
I was left so astonished at what Yuki said I didn't even reply and just nodded; I don't really use my eyes to look at Yuki's emotions since I believe that would be an invasion of personal privacy, and I didn't want to do that to a friend and someone I respected, so I had absolutely no clue she held such feelings about me. T-Though, now that she had brought up the topic of emotions, I, too, had started to see Yuki as more than a simple friend; it had started a few weeks ago, a little bit before Michelle confessed her feelings to me. That's why I intended to take Yuki to the restaurant I took Michelle to; I wanted it to be like a date between Yuki and I, but now we're in this predicament.
'W-Well, I-I at least got a powerful motivation to survive this.' Thought Alexander wryly as he gulped nervously while eyeing the monster, which began slowly approaching them.
"If we manage to survive this, I'm taking you on a date, Yuki." Alexander solemnly declared as he released Yuki's hand and unholstered his two great swords from his back, coating them in flames enhanced by his wind mana.
Yuki didn't respond to my question, but when I sideglanced at her, I noticed a very determined expression and a hardened gaze, which helped ease me a little, if I'm being honest. Shaking my head, I shifted my focus back to the monster while I stopped trying to teleport; the amount of mana the monster was releasing was simply too much for me to deal with, given the severity of our predicament. Given enough time, I'm sure I could do it, but as if we're going to survive multiple minutes while fighting against such a powerful creature.
'I suggest holding nothing back, Master.' Said Zartha solemnly as she looked at the sky while Trina stood beside her, nodding in agreement.
'Heh, I intended to.' Replied Alexander with a faint smirk as he glanced at the creature before his body took on a bluish aura while lightning danced around him.
"Let me go first, Yuki; I'll try to cripple the monster." Stated Alexander seriously as he utilized [Wind Steps], [Strength Augument], and [Speed Augument] while also using [Shrink] to make himself and his greatswords half the size.
The instant I dashed towards the Monster, its three eyes focused on my much smaller figure now, thanks to shrinking myself before it ran towards me using its two incredibly powerful legs; now, I was expecting the monster to be faster than me, but seeing such a behemoth of a creature move faster than you was definitely an eye opener.
Once we got somewhat close to each other, the monster suddenly opened its wide maw and slammed down towards me, moving so quickly that I couldn't dodge in time, though thankfully, that wasn't necessary. Using [Blink] twice in quick succession, I managed to just barely escape its massive maw, though the impact of its mouth slamming into the ground nearly made me trip while I dashed towards its legs.
'Fuck, here goes nothing!' Thought Alexander as he suddenly returned to normal size, only for him to use [Expand] on Trina, causing her previously half-size to quadruple suddenly.
Holstering Zartha on my back, I clutched Trina with both hands and injected roughly half of my mana into her, causing her to emit a bright purplish glow before swinging down towards the ankle of the monster, using Trina's skill, [Divine Wrath]
'Divine Judgment!' Stated Trina with a serious expression yet a happy tone as she watched Alexander slash down with all of his might onto the monster's ankle.
Despite how powerful Trina's skill was, its strength correlates to her Master's strength, which, in this case, would be me; so, while the large purplish sword wave was devastating to anyone who was around my strength, against this monster that completely outclassed me, it was a different story. Watching the purplish sword wave cut through the monster's thick, reptilian scaly skin, then through its muscle, only to finally disperse after digging a few inches into the monster's bone, which wasn't much considering the size of the monster.
'Tsk, dammit!' Thought Alexander with an ugly expression as he looked at the wound before shrinking himself and his two swords once more.
I quickly retreated, yet while doing so, I felt death coming to my side, and I didn't even question my heart before using blink to disappear; however, despite reacting as fast as I could, I was still too slow.
"Urgh, t-that's bad." Muttered Alexander with a painful expression as he looked down at his leg, which was torn off from the bone, only hanging on thanks to a few bits of skin.
I was about to try and connect the bone of my leg together and allow [Rebirth] to do the rest, but before I could, I heard the sound of metal clanging along with roaring, causing me to curse as I quickly turned around and lunged towards Yuki, though doing so with one leg was incredibly inefficient.
"DAMMIT YUKI! Y-You saw what the monster did to me! Why are you attacking!?" Exclaimed Alexander angrily as he hopped towards Yuki, who was dashing towards the monster, only to leap high into the air and slap it with her shield since it was focused on Alexander.
I didn't bother waiting for a response and spammed using [Blink] to get to Yuki, appear before her within a second while she was still in the air; though just like before, I reacted immediately and pushed Yuki out of the way while using [Blink] once more, teleporting out, only to fall onto the ground with the lower portions of my body completely gone.
'Am I lucky that this has happened twice, or am I unlucky; most people will die after the first time.' Mused Alexander with a blurry look as he gazed at his legs and pelvis hanging out of the monster's mouth while his golden blood leaked onto the ground.
Glancing at the monster's wound I had left, I couldn't help but chuckle in mockery when I noticed it was slowly healing, thanks to the trait it must've gained from drinking my blood.
'F-Fuck, w-we can't even stall this thing; w-we're really going to die.' Thought Alexander with an angry expression as he suddenly blinked, disappearing from his spot just in time to dodge the monster's massive mouth that was full of razor-sharp teeth the size of an average human man.
"A-Alex!?" Exclaimed Yuki anxiously as she got up from the ground and ran towards him, only to suddenly widen her eyes and dive atop him, using her body to block a tail swipe from the monster, which broke right through her prized armor.
Catching Yuki, I didn't even bother checking her injuries from such a devastating attack and instantly cut off my hand, causing me to groan in pain before stuffing my stump into her mouth and squeezing my forearm, pumping copious amounts of my golden blood into her system, which was doing wonder's on her mangled insides, repairing all her organs which had been obliterated, and reshaping her spine that had been destroyed into numerous tiny little pieces.
However, before she could even awaken, the monster's mouth slammed onto us, scooping us into its' mouth, which was beyond disgusting, but before it could start chewing us, I grabbed Zartha and used Expand on her before making her stand vertically, causing the monster to stab itself while also stopping it from fully closing its mouth.
The monster may be much stronger than either Yuki and I, but no way in hell was it going to damage a Mythical ranked artifact.
Feeling Yuki move, I quickly slapped her cheek with my hand, stirring her awake as she spat out my bleeding stump, though before she could say anything, I covered her mouth with my finger.
"I've figured out a way for us to escape." Stated Alexander quickly as he felt himself begin to lose consciousness.
