Chereads / Who Will Fall First? / Chapter 44 - 44

Chapter 44 - 44

About fifteen minutes later, Connor showed, and we just stared at each other for a minute, which gave me a little time to come up with half of a plan. I'd summon some skeletons for him to fight before turning myself invisible and using my new daggers. Oh-I didn't mention that I'd bought daggers the other day? My bad! Anyway, Connor made the first move. He summoned a sphere of fire, and threw it toward me, hoping to burn me. But I held up my daggers, and the fire bounced off, because these daggers were indestructible.

(A/N, for the non-percy Jackson fans, the daggers are made out of Stygian Iron, a metal that can only be wielded by Hades' kids and can kill any monster. I think I remember then being hard to break, too?:D)

He scowled, and as he called forth some more fire, I summoned about five skeletons, and made sure he was distracted before disappearing into the shadows. "You won't win this, Connor!" I shouted, and then moved away from the building, just so he wouldn't be able to hit me. "Maybe I won't, maybe I will. That, my dear, is left to the universe." Before he could attack my army, I sent them back, and kept teleporting around Connor, slashing at him with my daggers and also getting a few good kicks in. He growled. "ENOUGH OF THIS!" Somehow, he managed to catch my ankle, and he was now holding me upside down. He smirked his evil smirk. But I knew multiple ways to get out of his grip. I went for the first choice that came to mind: Punching him hard in the soft spot. "You little-" He mumbled, and dropped to the ground, placing his hands over his groin. I flipped onto my feet, watching him carefully. "Giving up already, are we, "Mr. Fallout"?" I teased, using quotation marks. He snarled, and stood, making the earth around us tremble. The last thing I thought before the earth spikes shot up was, Fuck!
