Time seemed to freeze for David. He could see the joy in Bubbly's cruel eyes. Her bat like ears were pressed back against her head.
Bubbly's small mouth was open wide, showing two long pointed fangs.
How had ever fallen for her sweet, friendly act? Was everyone outside of Coppervein like this?
Where had everything gone wrong? Would he die here, to this mutant, out in the wilderness?
He would never see Cherie again. This would be it.
'No!' David's soul cried out. This wouldn't be the end.
Preparing for the coming pain, he did what no one expected him to do. After all, this was a move that only David could get away with.
David's left arm punched out at the whip. The whip slammed into David's fist, pain bursting through David's body.
The whip sliced down the middle of David's arm, slowing down as it had to dig through his enhanced flesh and bone.
A fountain of blood sprayed out from David's hand and onto Bubbly's face, blinding her.
"Ahhhhh!" Bubbly screamed, her eyes were burning, this was a pleasent surprise to David. He had planned to blind her, but he didn't think she would be in this much pain.
Unknown even to himself, David's blood was altered, and inside of it were countless microscopic purple threads, that were eating away at Bubbly's eyes
Now, David gripped his fingers tight, ignoring the pain, the flesh of his arm healing around the whip.
Landing on the rock, David didn't pause for even a moment, he jumped right down, channeling mana to his sword, ready to attack.
David jerked his left arm back, pulling the whip towards himself and knocking Bubbly off balance. He had wanted to pull it away from her, but she gripped the whip in a death grip.
"Bron! Get him!" Bubbly screamed, with one hand, she was clawing at her eyes, trying to get the blood out. Unfortunately for her, that only allowed the tiny purple threads to dig deeper.
Her other hand was pulling at her whip, trying to get it free from David. She could hear where he was, and knew she needed to counterattack.
"Help me!" Her voice was tense and her body was shaking. She couldn't see, and this vicious, unkillable stranger was coming for her.
Unfortunately for the two mutants, David had calculated his jump perfectly. He was close enough to Bubbly that Bron couldn't attack without hitting them both.
Bubbly's large, sensitive ears had heard David land nearby, and she turned right to him, opening her mouth to unleash another hypersonic scream.
Slash
David's mana charged sword cut at Bubbly's neck, he knew he couldn't give her the slightest chance to retaliate.
Her mouth still open, Bubbly's decapitated head went tumbling through the air, blood shooting up into the air from her neck.
"You!" A furious yell came from Bron, and his hammer came swinging down at David. Bubbly was dead, there was no point in him holding back now.
Facing the hammer hurtling towards him, David laughed. He jumped back, swinging Bubbly's headless body which was still holding tightly to her whip, right into the hammer's path.
Splat
There was an explosion of flesh, blood and guts as the hammer struck the body. David jumped away, readying for another attack.
David looked like an bloodthirsty Devil.
His black eyes were glaring out at Bron with vengeances, and his leather armor was covered in scorch marks and black soot.
Splashes and droplets of blood covered his pale skin, and in one hand he held a sword that was still dripping with blood.
His other hand had blood dripping from the still healing wound, Bubbly's whip hanging from his wrist, where his body had healed around it.
At the very end of the whip, like some sort of gruesome trophy, was what remained from one of Bubbly's hands.
"You!"
"You devil!"
"You planned this whole thing! What do you want from us!"
Tears were pouring down Bron's face, and his eyes were bloodshot. He glared at the devil in front of his eyes.
"I planned this whole thing?" David gave a sarcastic laugh.
"I planned for you all to backstab me? I planned to almost die to you idiots!"
David shook his head, he couldn't believe this fool. What sort of scum would turn around their evil actions on their target?
"Graaaaaaaaaghh!" Letting out a fierce battle cry, Bron charged at David, swinging his hammer at his head.
David easily ducked under the hammer, and sliced out at Bron's arm.
Once again, his attack was ineffective, and his sword bounced away.
David sighed, eventually, he'd wear down Bron's defenses.
Another hammer blow was swinging his way, aiming for his legs.
[User, please do not prolong battle. Your health is running dangerously low.]
The health indicator in the corner of David's vision was blinking red.
Using Consume had regained a lot of his mana, but it didn't regenerate his vitality. David had regenerated an entire leg and a massive wound to his arm.
[Additionally user, you are still bleeding from your arm wound, as the whip has prevented proper healing.]
David looked closer, noticing the health indicator decreasing by the smallest amount.
'You never have good news do you.'
Sighing to himself, David looked around the lava plain. He could either run away, or find a way to kill this ball of shell.
'I can't leave him alive, he's the type to want to revenge.'
David could tell by Bron's red angry eyes that he had cared for Bubbly.
"Fine! I did plan this! I planned to kill all of you! And I did it for fun!" David laughed in Bron's face, for his plan to work, he needed to make him as angry as he possibly could.
"I loved her!" A strangled, pained scream came from Bron's throat, while the green aura around him grew brighter.
"You loved a evil bitch like that? You really need to rethink your entire life!" David was circling to the left, backing away from Bron.
"Devil!" Bron screamed he gripped his hammer tight with both hands, with it sticking straight out from his body.
'I really need to learn some mana techniques'
David sighed, watching Bron start spinning faster and faster.
Aiming right for David, Bron turned into a blur, spinning in circles.
Thanks to his strong defense and the speed he was spinning at, any incoming attack would glance off of him.
While at the same time, the spiked head of the hammer was spinning so fast that it would pulverize anything that it touched.
The enormous spinning green wheel hurtled towards David, who continued to back away.
