Chereads / The Crimson Shadows / Chapter 6 - Calm Down!...Cheems.

Chapter 6 - Calm Down!...Cheems.

Deep blue eyes burned with an otherworldly glow, hovering above Lysander's head. Their piercing gaze fixed upon the hulking beast before them.

Smoke billowed from the creature's cavernous jaws; its massive body shrouded in a thick, impenetrable fog.

"Is this the best you can do? Lysander said in mocking tone. "Even my grandma throws pillows harder than that!"

* ROAR! *

The Big Oops roared angrily, wanting to say, 'Get that damn beast aside and I will show you who throws pillows harder.' 

Suddenly, several smaller beasts attacked Lysander from the sides, but the glowing eyes turned their piercing gaze upon them.

* HOWL! *

A thunderous howl rippled through the air as an aura of sheer cold burst forth, the temperature dropped in an instant.

Icy winds whipped around them, raising Goosebumps even on Lysander's flesh.

"Calm down!...Cheemse," Lysander commanded in an icy voice.

The body beneath the glowing eyes revealed its true form - a majestic ice wolf with a sleek white coat, deep blue eyes, and glowing azure runes etched across its body.

A ghostly aura shimmered around the lupine titan, its icy patterns flaring in time with each breath.

It was at least 6 meters tall, almost as tall as The Big Oops.

With a crackling sound, Cheemse launched a volley of icy projectiles.

Each one struck a charging beast, instantly freezing them solid, mid-leap.

They crashed to the ground, lifeless statues of ice.

The Ice Wolf gave merciless glare turned toward The Big Oops. 

With a neutral look on his face Lysander reached into the pocket of his waist-shirt, withdrawing a short sword.

He threw it towards The Big Oops with a lethal precision, but the blade merely bounced off The Big Oops' impenetrable skin, clattering uselessly to the ground.

"I knew it" he said.

He again put his hand in his pocket, but this time instead of a withdrawing a great sword he took out a ring and slipped it onto his left hand. 

Then Lysander exchanged a meaningful nod with Cheemse.

* HOWL! *

The ice wolf howled once more, the air growing bitterly cold.

Six deadly ice spears materialized, three to Cheemse's left and three to its right.

With a feral growl, Cheemse launched the frozen projectiles as Lysander charged in from a different angle.

The Big Oops sensed the mortal threat and lashed out, shattering three of the spears with his punch and other three with a brutal swing of its massive axe. As the remaining three shattered, a flurry of icy mist obscured its vision.

Seizing the opportunity, Lysander bolted towards it, throwing another sword as a distraction.

The Big Oops sensed the incoming blade and swept its axe in a wide arc, but Lysander had already slid between its tree-trunk legs.

His ring flashed green as he drew forth his true blade - that looked like a deadly fusion of Nichirin and scimitar.

With blinding speed, he struck at the beast's ankle, attempting to hamper its movements.

* Clang! *

Lysander's sword hit with a clang but did no damage.

The Big Oops immediately swung its axe back, sending Lysander flying back to crash into a ruined house, numbing his hands.

He crashed through the shattered remains of a house, coughing out blood.

Steeling himself, he rose once more and murmured, "Immolation."

The air around him grew hotter as his life force drained in exchange for heightened power, steam also coming from his body every few seconds.

"NOW!" Lysander roared, shattered the eerie silence.

The Big Oops sensed a looming threat and turned to face Cheemse.

The ice wolf's jaws were already agape, a swirling vortex of energy building within. With a thunderous roar, Cheemse unleashed its most devastating attack - ' Supernova.'

The Big Oops raised its axe in a desperate attempt to deflect the oncoming maelstrom, but the sheer force of the blast caused fractures to split the metal.

Unleashing the full force of its aura, it encased itself in a defensive spell, but the axe finally shattered under the relentless onslaught.

The beast was blasted back, with smoke billowing in its wake.

Cheemse padded to Lysander's side, and the pair fixed their gaze upon the dissipating smoke.

"Stop playing dead and come out," Lysander growled. "I know you're alive."

An otherworldly chuckle sliced through the eerie silence, raising the hairs on the back of their necks. From the roiling smoke, a nightmarish figure emerged.

"Cheemse, move", Lysander said.

But before it could move.

"Howl!"

Something pierced its shoulder, and it howled in pain.

"Damn, You"

Lysander said in angry tone and charged towards it.

Slowly smoke faded away and The Big Oops's body came in sight.

It's rock like body was filled with cracks and the one hand was missing.

Lysander was in disbelief how an attack that can kill even 3rd tier, put just some cracks on its body and blew away its hand.

The Big Oops slammed its giant fist on ground and land beneath Lysander started to tremble.

As Lysander regained his balance Big Oops appeared at his back and punched him and made him fly like a broken kite, but he balanced in mid-air and landed on the ground.

The Big Oops again raised its clawed hand and was about to smackdown the ground but temperature around him dropped and it saw, six spears again incoming.

Feeling the legal threat, it dived to side and dodged the incoming projectiles.

"Impressive"

A loud deep voice reverberated to the area as the beast said his first words after the beast tide.

"I never thought that there would be someone worth my time here."

It said and again started to laugh in otherworldly tone that ran Shriver through Lysander's spine.

"I need to do it fast," Lysander said clenching his firsts. ' I don't know how much time I had left now, only if I hadn't gotten that injury,' he said with a look of anger and disgust on his face.

The Big Oops snatched a nearby weapon and threw it at Lysander and again like before Cheemse destroyed it before it could even reach Lysander.

"You're a pain in the ass, I will eliminate you first."

The Big Oops said and disappeared from his place and reappeared above Cheema head.

"Noooo!"

Lysander shouted in anger as the beast slashed his claw at Cheemse's neck.
