Death
Death was approaching closer by the second
My mind was mess as I couldn't think of a way through my situation
My body was also a mess with my blood flowing out
The juggernaut was coming closer and closer with my 'mana field' I was able to sense him coming
One word was crossing my mind in that moment and that was
DEATH
And nothing else... Memories of my life was flashing in my mind
Every moment of my friends and my family was coming and going
But one memory had a much more presence then any other memory
It was my mother on her death bed hugging me as I cried
My mother only comforted me as I cried and told me to protect my little sister
As the juggernaut was almost upon me I gathered my mana and spread it in my body
As the power spread I with all my strength dashed towards the building
Every step hurt like hell but I persisted with only one thought
'Survive'
I reached the end of the empty area but I was stopped with a wall of darkness
This wall of darkness was all around the empty area with only one task
To keep me in
My hope of survival was crushed and seeing the juggernaut picking up a huge piece of concrete to throw it at me
I was done my hope of survival was crushed and my options was dwindling by the second
My mind screamed at me to escape and survive and reminded me that I had a promise to uphold
But I was done nothing I could do will change the outcome of this
Then a small voice came from the back of my mind filled with rage it was only one word
'Fight'
It was then I remembered the promise of my mother and my father ,the things I will not be able to do if I died here
A boiling rage overcame me as I saw my sister crying with my father in front of a tombstone with my name
Rage unlike anything I have felt came what I saw wasn't a monster but a target
One that I will have to kill to protect my little sister
I was angry not just at the monster but I was also angry at myself for my own weak resolve
I needed strength to protect my loved ones and I will kill anyone that got in my way
The juggernaut flung the block of concrete at me and I was able to get out of the way due to the mana flowing in my body
I dashed at him with all my speed I blocked the pain in my body
It raised both hands and brought them down at an incredible speed I stopped
But the impact of his fists caused a crater in the ground
The debris flew past me as my 'mana field' activated
I jumped over the dust and landed on his shoulders I concentrated all the mana spread inside my body into my right hand
And punched him with in the face the impact caused me to be blown away
I rolled on the ground and got up to face the monstrosity
When the dust cleared I saw its face with a broken right horn and it was bleeding from its right eye
'Not as much damage as I hoped'
AHHHHHHHHHH
It screamed and lunged at me full force and I dashed to the left to avoid him
It was blinded with rage and was now was lunging to my every spot
I was barely avoiding his attacks then an idea popped in my mind
'If the mana can be concentrated inside why can't it be concentrated outside'
So I tried to concentrate the mana outside but the juggernaut didnt give me a chance
I jumped and concentrated and it worked for a while
The mana flowed in and concentrated in one spot but it became uncontrollable very quickly
And it shot out of my hand and into the ground blasting the ground
A shadow flew past me and it was debris that the juggernaut was throwing at me
I landed on the ground and closed my eyes to concentrate the mana concentrated in front of my hands
I was keeping the location of juggernaut with the help of 'mana field' it was moving fast to my location
I tried to speed up the process but it was beginning to become unstable I took a deep breath and gathered it until it stabilized
The juggernaut was upon me as it raised hands fell down to crush me
The process was stabilized and I shot the gathered mana to its chest
BOOOOM!!
The mana blasted a hole through its chest but its hands fell on me with force
I fortified my body with my remaining mana and raised both arms to block the juggernauts hands
Huuuu fuuu
As I was lying beneath its hands I took deep breath to calm my racing heart
My right arm was broken and as my mana reserves were now empty the wounds am over my body started to bleed
I was losing conscious ,darkness covered my eyes

I felt something in my left hand with the last bit of my strength I raised my hand and brought it close to my mouth
It was crystalized flame in the shape of a tear I swallowed it
It felt like I was drinking lava it was burning my insides after a while my body erupted in flames
