Chapter 24: To the City Centre (3)

'Is it over?'

Dean thought as he looked at the body surrounded by blood. He sighed when he saw the body of the woman lying on the ground, it looked very dreadful. He turned away from it and then began to walk towards the Thar's side.

"You okay?"

Thar called to him. Dean smiled and raised his hand in agreeing gesture. He saw Thar also smiling back at him but then, suddenly the smile on his face was replaced with worry.

"Behind you!"

Thar shouted direly to Dean as he began to run towards him.

Dean felt something getting closer behind him. Now that Oscar's buff was over his speed was decreased and he was only able to step back at the last moment from the thing that attacked him from behind but he still received damage. He saw a sharp blood pillar pierced into his right abdomen area before he fell to the ground. The blood pillar retreated after the attack, returning to the woman's body lying on the ground.

On the ground, Dean watched the blood pillar returning to the woman and he saw the blood once again begin to move towards the woman as it was creating a cocoon around her body.

'I shouldn't let my guard down!'

He cursed his idiocy but what happened had happened. He held his wound and felt the blood flowing out from the wound.

'Fuck it hurts!'

He thought he was gonna find himself in a position like this eventually but it hurt him more than he thought. He tried to move but it just caused him more pain yet he still didn't stop until he was standing on his feet. He pointed his sword towards the woman and got ready for the fight.

"Are you out of your mind? Just stop moving already!"

Dean heard Thar's scolding voice and he quickly got next to him to support him.

"We need to take care of her."

Dean said without taking his eyes off of the woman, he didn't want to step back, he wanted to see her dead, and this time he would be sure of it.

"And do you think you'll be able to do anything in this state?!"

Thar said in an angry voice, he was angry at him because how he didn't take care of himself, but he understood how Dean was feeling. Thar saw the expression on Dean's face when Dean watched the girl trying to do something for his friends in desperation, in cry.

"You're trying to be a hero by dying here, do you think we'll let you go easily like this? We still need you so just stop acting like an idiot and rest now, we'll take care of the rest."

As Thar's frustrated voice echoed in his ears, Dean looked at Thar and saw his eyes looking at him with worry.

"Thank you."

Dean was only able to say this to the words of Thar as he smiled towards him.

"If you want to thank me, take care of yourself properly!"

Thar said but after seeing a smile begin to form on Dean's face, he just sighed.

'He is right, I'm just acting selfish. I need to survive for them, they are my team and I still had debts to pay.'

Dean thought and looked at Kaan fighting with zombies on the back, and then he looked at Emily who was watching the woman's body in the blood cocoon as her eyes began to plot something for what was to come. Dean wanted to chuckle a little bit as he saw that but he realized he was really in a bad state now as he let go of his fighting spirit and even that seemed to hurt him. And lastly, he looked at Thar next to him, who really cared about anyone who joined their group and helped them as much as he could.

Dean knew he didn't know these three people very well, hell, they had just met one day before in this madness but he felt like there was a strong connection already binding them together. He wasn't believing in fate but maybe it was their fate to be together.

Thar felt a little bit strange as the smile on the Dean's face began to get wider so he thought he should quickly get him to the Oscar.

When suddenly Thar took him into his arms and began to carry him to Oscar like a child he was surprised and embarrassed a little but after he saw the serious expression on Thar's face he didn't say anything.

Liam looked at Thar carrying Dean in his arms and Oscar heading to their side swiftly and then turned his eyes towards the cocoon that began to rise from the ground.

The blood cocoon opened like a flower and a figure appeared in the middle of it. The woman now had red wings in liquid form on her back and sharp fangs on both of her hands; all of her body was merged with blood and all of her skin was red other than her face and her hair. Her facial structure didn't change too much but her eyes were full of black and she had a relaxed face as her white hair fluttered in the air.

"Oscar take Dean back along with Thar. Thar you go help Kaan and Ashley, we'll take care of it with Emily."

Liam said to them and raised his gun towards the woman or the monster. He wasn't sure what she had become now.

"It'll be dangerous, I should help you here."

Thar didn't want to leave Emily here with that thing.

"Thar don't worry, we can take care of it."

Emily knew he was worried about her but she wanted to assure him she was ready for this.

Thar looked at her and then after saying, 'be careful' he head back with Dean he was carrying.

Emily smiled at him but that smile didn't last long because she knew it won't be easy. Even looking at the monster borning in front of them she got a chilly feeling.

Oscar gave a look at Liam and their eyes met for a few seconds but that was enough for them. After that, he followed Dean from behind as he began to take out a few things from his bag.

Liam and Emily looked at the woman finishing her transformation and Liam started the fight by shooting three bullets. Three bullets all headed towards the vital points but the monster just took the shoots heading to his head and chest and caught the bullet heading to her throat. She smiled as if nothing had happened.

"Now, do you see the greatness of my Lord?"

She said as she bent over a little to them. Her black eyes were now wide open and she looked creepy with that smile on her face.

"Your toys cannot hurt me now!"

She began to laugh like crazy but then the laugh suddenly stopped and a calm and pleading expression came to her face.

"Oh, my Lord. I thank you for saving your lowly servant. I'll give you a world that knows your greatness as you desire."

She said raising his head and talking to the air.

"And I'll start with these lowly creatures that made you use your power!"

She shouted loudly and turned her head to Liam and Emily with anger.

'She's long gone.'

Emily thought looking at the monster in front of her.

"What'll we do?"

"Bullets don't seem to work."

Liam said as he took the machete into his right hand.

"I'll try to head-to-head combat, you stay as far as you can and support me from behind."

"Do you have an ability you can use when fighting in a close range?"

"I do."

Emily nodded and moved a little back. She was now just focused on the movements of Liam and the monster, she felt that this fight would be a little tough for them so she got ready.

The woman looked at the two of them down as she began to move towards them. She was much faster than when she was fighting with Dean. Liam also began to run towards the monster and he didn't seem to be lacking in speed against the monster, he had the buff from the Oscar and his ability 'Combat Prodoigy' supporting him.

As Liam's sword and the monster's fangs met in the air a screeching sound echoed in the street. It created a blood spike under Liam but he dodged by stepping to the right and once again attack her abdomen. The monster looked surprised by the power contained in his attacks but it still had the upper hand in the fight. The monster stopped Liam's attack with one of its fangs and attacked him. Its fang aimed towards Liam's throat along with a blood pillar to his chest.

Liam once again dodged the incoming fang but the monster smiled as it thought it got Liam with the blood pillar but a wall of earth raised from the ground and blocked the blood pillar. The monster looked at Emily, showing her its gritting teeth. Liam saw that its focus loosened and attack him with this opportunity. The monster was not able to counter his attack and the machete delve into its chest.

It shouted in pain and attacked Liam fastly but he once again stepped back and after cutting its arm with his machete, he put some distance between them.

Liam looked at the monster that looked at him with vicious eyes as it hold the injury on its chest which slowly healed. Liam observed the monster, its hands which blocked his attacks seemed to take no damage but it took damage to its chest.

In the beginning, Liam shooted three bullets; into its head, heart, and throat. It didn't do anything about the ones heading his head and heart but stopped the one that was about to hit her throat. Liam wasn't sure what she exactly gained by sacrificing her humanity but he was sure that it was vulnerable on its abdomen and throat. It was trying to hide this fact by stopping all of his attacks.

With this information, he pull out a knife from his waist and held it tightly. This time he charged forwards first towards the monster. Seeing the confident look on Liam's face irritated the monster and it also dashed towards Liam. Liam's machete and its fang once again met but Liam's attack was not focused on the machete, he parried the fang and with that momentum, he tried to stab the monster's heart.

As the knife headed towards the monster's heart the only thing Liam could see was a smile on its face and then one of the blood wings came forward and a knife stuck into it.

'Damn it!'

Liam step back but he was not that fast. Emily tried to create an earth wall once again to stop the attack but she was not able to before the blood wing's knife-like tips pierced into his shoulder as he stepped back. Emily then changed the earth wall into a spike and stabbed the wing which pierced Liam's shoulder.

"I'll rip your heart you annoying bitch!"

The monster roared in infuriation and headed towards Emily. Liam tried to pull himself together and stop him but he was not able to do it in time because of the damage he received so he followed behind the monster. Emily draw her sword and was ready to face the monster but then suddenly monster stopped moving.

Emily looked around and saw the captive girl who was holding her friend's dead body get up with red eyes and reached her hands towards the monster.

"Why don't you die already you fucking monster!"

Emily heard the girl shouting with agony as the blood began to drip from the tips of her hands reaching towards the monster. Emily felt the ground under her feet begin to vibrate lightly and saw the monster fall onto its knees as it tried to save itself; its blood wings fell to the ground by losing their shape under the girl's power.

"Emily, attack its heart!"

Emily regained her senses and quickly used her power to create an earth spear under the monster kneeling body. After hearing Liam's words the monster tried to bring its hands to its heart to stop the incoming attack, like how Liam wanted.

When Liam reached the monster he felt the pressure coming from where the monster was kneeling. He saw that it already brought its hands to its chest to save its vitals but it left the other vulnerable points of him fully open, its neck. Liam raised his machete and dashed towards the monster's neck.

The monster realized that it was fooled and tried to bring its hand towards its neck, but it was a futile attempt. When Liam stepped up into the gravity field the sword quickly fall towards the monster's neck, adding more power to his attack. The machete didn't stop until it reached the ground along with Liam's body and tore the monster's head apart from its body.

The torn head fell to the ground quickly along with its body because of the gravity field. Liam was also on his knees because of the pressure but with the death of the monster, the gravity field was gone.

The girl felt the pain all over her body, she could feel the blood flowing from various places on her body but she just smiled. It was a bitter and empty smile but it was a smile; after three hours she could finally smile with the joy of helping to the death of the monster that caused a nightmare for her and her friends.

After its death, the monster's body turned into a pile of blood and from the blood, something began to be created. They watched the blood begin to take a shape of a head: It had three long horns that bent towards the air, and its black eyes were glowing with its golden pupils. Its mouth was wide like it wanted to devour everything.

When it was fully created the aura around the street was just suffocating. Everyone was able to feel the darkness and the diabolical presence. They were not able to move nor speak right now as they felt the darkness pierce into their bodies, they were just looking at the head floating in the air.

The zombies around the place simply perished by turning into dark blood after the head's presence filled the street.

"You dare to kill my vessel? I'll remember all of you, you lowly creatures of the Old One."

Its fierce voice echoed in everyone's mind.

"But you, you'll face the wrath of mine."

Liam felt like his head was exploding as the voice echoed inside his mind. He was the closest one to the being that appeared and he felt everything at an extreme level yet he didn't yield and even though he was holding himself up just barely, he was able to lift his head and looked at the head in the eye.

He didn't see any wrath in those glowing eyes, there was no emotion in those eyes which were looking at him down. It was just doing it because it could and it made Liam enraged yet he was not able to do anything other than raise his head.

As everyone was watching the head, a sword made of blood began to appear next to it. Everything around them felt so slow yet everything was happening so fast. As the blood sword began to move towards Liam suddenly a sword carrying a different aura pierced the floating head.

With this unexpected attack, the head looked at the attacker with surprised eyes and tried to say something but before it could say anything it perished along with its blood sword.
