Capítulo 15: Chapter 15 - Testing out King Crimson
-1st POV-
My heart rate continued to increase, not from fear but excitement. This is my first ever physical fight, and it's against a magical whale at that. I calmed my breathing and focused on the whale closing in.
'80 meters... 50 meters... 25 meters... 10 meters... 5,4,3 and now.' I counted in my head as the whale got closer and closer, until finally, he was in my range.
Face to face with the ginormous whale, I utilised my stand in the most basic way, to punch. Something I've noticed is that whilst it has a strong defence, the same can't be said about its offence. I need to know how much damage my stand can do.
The head of the whale and the fist of my stand connected, and it managed to penetrate its skin. The whale tried to move forward but I couldn't, my stand stopping its momentum.
It shook its head and released a roar, blowing me and my stand back by a couple of meters. Seeing the effectiveness of my stand, I decided to go all out, as from everything I've gathered I was likely to win this.
I decided to stand completely still, not moving no matter what, and then I activated my stand's sub-ability epitaph. What I saw was the White Whale's horn penetrating my chest and then lodging itself into the ground after exiting the other side.
Even when I planned for it, seeing it was something else. Fear almost made me freeze up until I controlled myself and rid myself of all my emotions, focusing solely on this fight. I then activated my main ability, Time Erasure, and erased when the horn punctured my torso.
'The horn, fated to rip through me, erased.'
I moved myself to where the eye was after its horn pierced the ground and prepared to strike the moment the time skip ended. My stand, King Crimson' cocked its fist back and started to punch, only a couple milliseconds before my ability ends, and then it ended and the sound of a crash was heard by all.
Everyone, even Suki, was shocked to see not just me, but also the whale, suddenly teleport, almost as if they had blacked out for a couple of seconds.
With the horn piercing into the ground, the whale was momentarily stuck. But even if that wasn't the case, his eye was already crushed by my stand and there was nothing it could do about it.
*ROAR*
An ear-piercing sound was released from the whale, and its once yellow eyes changed, going from a normal yellow colour to an ominous red. Its eye colour wasn't the only thing that changed though, no, many holes opened up on the whale also.
A rush of smoke and fog emerged from the holes in the whale, covering the whole area and disorientating all of the soldiers.
Constant shrieks were let out by the whale, which was now nowhere to be seen.
The noble lady commanded "Soldiers Retreat!" And the same was echoed by another voice. The sound of all the mounts running was heard after that command, so it seems they listened.
I stood there, contemplating the situation, trying to think of a way to kill the whale until suddenly the smog in front of me was blown away by a harsh wind. The culprit seemed to be a petite blonde vampire with a 195 cm unconscious man being dragged by his foot, following behind.
"What was that just now Raito? You're not hurt are you?" She asked, dropping the unconscious JoJo and running over to me and inspecting me for injuries.
"I'm fine, and it's related to the ability I got from the group chat," I responded, not wanting to give away too many details.
Suki seemed to pick up on this as she had a look of hurt and sadness in her eyes, likely from seeing I don't trust her. Something irrational, seeing as I've only just met her today and know nothing about her.
Suddenly screams echoed through the smoke, originating from the soldiers.
"Let's go in that direction." I pointed to the direction the screams came from, adamant to finish this mission. This mission has been a lot harder than I imagined. It's better to end this quickly than to let the whale power up again like it did just now, I should have been more wary.
Suki nodded then picked up the foot she was holding before dropping it to check on me. We ran in the direction the screams were coming from, whilst Suki used her magic to clear the smoke and allow us to see.
After only a couple of seconds we reached another area where the smoke was cleared, but this time all the soldiers were there. We walked in, not concealing our presence, and a couple of soldiers recognised me, the one who enraged the whale.
"it's... ITS HIM!" One soldier shouted whilst pointing in my direction, leading to everyone looking at us, some with fear and others with respect and reverence.
The noble lady, Crusch Karsten, started riding her mount to us, looking a little agitated and on edge. Another person was heading in our direction, the old butler with impressive sword skills.
-authors note-
The first fight scene, what do you think?
I had to watch a couple of videos on king crimson and I'm still somewhat confused. I had to pick an ability that even people who have seen JoJos find it confusing. I should have done more research before picking it as the starting ability. At least it's a really cool ability.
