Chapter 46: Never give up.
With it's hind legs partially free, It used it's tremendous strength to pull it's hind legs away from kosi's rows of razor sharp teeth, although causing some flesh to be torn of in the process, but it didn't whimper in pain, instead it used it to fuel it's boiling rage before delivering a viscous kick towards kosi's face in a split second.
The brutal kick gave off a bone shattering sound as it connected with kosi's face, Sending his half phased form out of the earth and skidding across the battlefield before crashing against a lone tree, causing spiderweb like cracks to spread on impact on the trees seemingly hard trunk.
Without slowing down, The bull then used it's free hind leg to kick Zara as well, Like her brother, her crocodilian form was sent flipping through the air before she crashed into the ground with a heavy thud.
Her body quickly turned still on impact, a stream of blood dripping through her fangs, From the looks of it, her current condition was without a doubt severe at the moment.
Fa Yifei who was watching the deadly exchange was frozen in horror on the spot. The sounds of their bones being viscously cracked and the site of fresh blood on the battlefield seemed to much for her to handle.
To make matters worse, her heart shuddered when the bulls enraged bloodshot eyes suddenly locked onto her.
In that moment, her eyes constricted in terror as the bulls figure seemed to overlap with another creatures.
In her eyes she saw a frightening hound like creature with the same type of gaze standing admisst the ruins of a burning village, it's towering figure obstructed by the flurry of smoke that plagued the surroundings while the wildly burning flames around it did nothing to damage nor hurt the horrifying creature.
" No....it can't be.." she whispered, her voice stuttering in fear as she struggled to speak. Before she knew it, her body was soon overcome by a suffocating pressure or in this case the pressure she once felt from the creature she had been seeing in her nightmares till date.
" No .it can't be, it can't be!..., You can't be here, you can't be here!." She began mumbling in a hesterical manner,
Her body trembling like a rat drenched from the cold rain as streams of hot tears began falling down her cheeks.
Before she knew it, her knees gave way and she feel backwards on her ass, her body unconsciously shifting back into her human form with an aid of an azure glow.
_This can't be happening again..., it can't be happening again...it can't, it can't, it can't!._ She mumbled in a histerical manner as if hoping this was all a dream.
Unfortunately reality was cruel and those who fled into their dreams to escape it would eventually have no choice but to wake up to it.
As if in confirmation of such a fact, The Violent Earth Bull stomped it's hooves into the earth, the ground itself began trembling in response.
The dirt and stone Infront of it began to rise before converging into a stream of spikes that quickly headed in Yifei's direction.
Yifei who was caught in her traumatic memories was completely helpless and unable to move, She could only stare at the oncoming attack, her breath caught in her throat.
_Am I going to die here?._
She asked herself, instinctively shutting her eyes in fear as she waited for deaths grasp.
"....?"
A few moments later, Her eyes twitched with uncertainty when she didn't feel any ounce of pain whatsoever.
She opened her eyes with confusion, only for it to constrict when she saw Ebubes furry frame now standing Infront of her.
It looked like In the midst of the attack, he had rushed in to protect her, using his sand manipulation, he conjured up a thick sand wall to block the onslaught, but it would appear that he underestimated the sheer power behind the raging spikes.
Though he miraculously managed to stop the spikes in their wake, a few of their tips still managed to pierce through his blockade, stabbing deep into his chest.
Fresh blood trickled down his wounds, staining his dark fur with an ominous red.
_ Arrgh...it hurts._ Ebube cursed while gnashing his fangs to relieve the searing pain he felt in his chest.
His breathing was haggard but he still managed to remain standing while his body trembled from exhaustion.
After taking the bulls attacks successively, His body was on the brink of collapsing.
Yet for some reason his eyes were still burning with the will to fight, his fierce gaze etched on the slowly crumbling sand wall as if able to peer through and gaze directly at the Monstrous Violent Earth Bull.
Though he was still vengeful, he knew there was nothing he could do in his current situation, instead his head turned towards Fa Yifei who was behind him.
" Yifei....hurry..., please get out of here...." Ebube groaned, his voice laboured. " If you stay here you'll only end up dying....., so please, just get up and run before–"
" Mooooo!!!" To Ebubes resentment, The violent earth bull let out a battle cry as if it had detected that it's prey had survived his attack.
" Yifei!!" Ebube barked again this time his voice was laced with worry. He really didn't want her to end up dying here because of him. At least she could run and maybe one day help them get revenge but sadly it seemed that fate wasn't on his side.
" O..ok!, I'll—"
Yifei tried getting up but her limbs remained stiff, it appeared that she was too mentally exhausted to move!.
_You've gotta be kidding me!._ Ebube cursed his luck.
His heart plummeted when the ground began trembling uncontrollably, signaling that the beast had begun charging towards them.
The air was thick with tension as the beast closed the gab beneath them, The closer it got the greater the smell of blood grew in the air.
_...No!, This can't be happening, it can't end like this!._ Ebube was slowly lost in his frustration as the beast was almost upon them, In an act of desperation he tried using the last remaining mental energy he had to manipulate the sand around him in a last minute struggle.
"Mooooo!!!!" Ebubes eyes widened in horror when the beasts head broke through his crumbling sand barrier, in the blink of an eye, it's terrifying horns were only inches away from Impaling him.
" I think that's about enough..."
Just as Ebubes life was begining to flash past his eyes, an icy cold voice broke the chaotic silence.
