Chapter 38: Final Boss (4)
The bottled up anger from helplessly watching my brother getting pummeled to the ground was giving me a strange and newfound strength.
I could feel it!
I slowly walked towards them as I saw my sword on the ground lying on the side of my Brother. When I finally arrived, I slowly bended my body as I tried to reach for the sword.
The openings that I left when I was picking the sword was intentional. I was luring the Great Imp to attack me so that I could end all of this quickly, that was but a wishful thinking on my part.
The Great Imp stood still on his spot and didn't move an inch even though I left holes. I was wondering why the Great Imp didn't move, when it suddenly spoke.
"Now that you've picked up a weapon, we should start a real battle. I was really disappointed by your friend. I thought he was really strong, but for almost an hour, all he did was defend. He wasn't even fighting back even when talked trash. It wasn't really entertaining."
What did it say? An hour? My brother's been protecting me for an hour!?
"F*ck you too." I really didn't know why I said those words but it unintentionally came out of me.
Then I started running madly towards him. When I was halfway through, I used my spell with left hand as the tree trunk propelled me forward at a speed much faster than I ran.
I immediately canceled my spell before half a meter away from the Great Imp. Then I made it look like I was swinging my sword to attack him.
"Hah! Full of openings!" The Great Imp shouted jubilantly. Its claws glimmered as it thrusted its hand forward to pierce me. There was an unknown liquid in its claws, but I didn't know what it was as the color of my vision was red.
I smirked when I saw it so full of itself. I already planned everything beforehand.Before it could even thrust its arms, my bended knees straightened and then my feet touched the ground.
As its hand arrived, I was already ducking and its arm passed over my head. It wasn't able to entirely change the trajectory of the attack and can only make it slightly lower.
With a wide open enemy to hit, I will take this chance to make it suffer! The sword that was rested on my left shoulder when I lured it into my act, was still there.
I did a half moon swing and its arm was chopped off. The arm fell on me and the Great Imp reflexively pulled its inextistent 'arm' back.
"Ahhhhh! You piece of sh*t! I'm going to rip you to shreds!" the Great Imp bellowed in anger. Its other hand that was stopping the blood on the chopped arm, summoned a purplish flame.
'Sizzle!'
The flame burned the arm, as the sound of flesh sizzling entered my ears.
Hmmm. Why is not regenerating its own arm? Was regenerating a one time use or regenerating has such a terrible price on it? Either way, everything is looking good for me.
I didn't know why but I suddenly lost control of my body. Although earlier, I could still control it, now my control over my body was gone.
What the hell!? No!
It was as if my soul was pushed out of my body and I saw it rushing towards the Great Imp.
While holding the sword, my body did a swift thrust aiming towards the chest area where the heart should be.
No! If it dies again maybe it will instantly regenerate and that is no good! Aim for the shoulder!
Since I had no control over my body, I could only watch as the sword pierce through the shoulder of the Great Imp!
I was astounded! The sword was obviously aimed towards the the Great Imp's heart! Even though the Great Imp dodged, how was it able to pierce its shoulder? Was all of it a coincidence? Or was it calculated?
No, I'm not buying it.
Having the Great Imp's arm pierced, it jumped back with the assistance of its wings. I saw its other arm fell limp as it no longer holding its bloodied arm.
Yeah, this is how it should be. Next, I should be aiming for its legs. I once again tried my theory if could command my body.
I didn't know for sure, but my body dashed towards the Great Imp. Although its arms was no longer a threat, it still has its fire, legs and wings.
W-wait wings? Why didn't it use its wings to evade earlier? Was it overconfident?
I saw the Great Imp opening its mouth. A fire attack? Evade! I commanded inside my head. Before the fire inside its mouth could fly out.
My body waved my left arm and suddenly ducked. Then a thick root shot out just in time to block the fire attack. No, not block the fire attack, but to counterattack!
I was rendered aghast. But the fireball!
Ha! I sighed a breath of relief as my body wasn't hurt in the slightest, because it already ducked and did a quick tumble to the front.
Wow! I didn't know I could do that! Ah- no, I just didn't have the opportunity to.
When my body stood up, the counterattack arrived. It pierced through the left side of the demon! And a sudden gushing stream of blood came out of its chest.
No! You're going to kill it! It was too late. The Great Imp should be using its instant regeneration.
Haaaa.
I lamented at the fact that I have to start fighting the Great Imp all over again. I didn't have enough stamina or skill to fight such a creature. I know where my weakness lies. I know it damn well than anybody.
I guess we're really dying today. I wanted to look at Victor but my vision was still fixated on the Great Imp. I could see its body kneeling on the ground still twitching.
My body walked towards the Great Imp and summoned a branch with leaves on it. Then it took out all the leaves and stuffed it inside the hole of the Great Imp's chest. I watched as the blood miraculously stopped gushing out!
What!? Those leaves can heal?
It mercilessly kicked the Imp and its body was now lying on the ground.
"No! No! Don't do this! I'll grant you anything! Everything! Ahhhh!"
My hand turned the sword, pointing towards the ground. It pierced the Great Imp's thigh and kept on rocking it back and forth. It looked as if it was trying to remove its thighs from its body!
"No! No! No! Please! Ahhhhhhh!" the 'not so' Great Imp kep begging for mercy. I wanted to stop my body from hurting it anymore.
I cannot do such a thing. Torturing an enemy when it couldn't even fight anymore was a no-no for me.
Finally, colors were starting fill my sight. It was no longer all-red. Haaaa. I sighed.
It's a good thing that I could now control my body. I slumped down on the ground as the injuries and exhaustion finally kicked in.
I could only lie down, but it does put a smile on my face. Everything was now finished! We cleared the dungeon and defeated the fire-wielding Great Imp!
Not bad for beginners like us, I guess. Not to mention, there were only two of us.
I could hear the sound of footsteps walking towards me. So I called out to him.
"You did a great job, Victor!" I said. Although I was exhausted, I could still talk.
The footsteps stopped and I heard a chuckle. I bet he was shocked that I knew his name. Haha.
"Yeah, you too brother!" He said.
My eyes went wide. Brother!? He's really my brother!
"You're really Victor!? From Earth?" I asked.
"Uhhh- Yes? Why are you so shocked brother? Didn't you send me here?"
"I did?"
"Yeah, one day you came running towards me and said something mysteriously. 'You have to protect the tree', that's what you said."
"Ah- yes." I absent mindedly answered. I have no idea what he was talking about, but oh well.
"Brother, I have to tell you something. I- No you dont!"
I saw Victor jumping towards me hurriedly. Then I saw a flash of light chopping off my brother's right arm and entering the left side of his chest!
"Noooooooo!" I bellowed.
