Drip. Drip. All I can hear right now is my blood hitting the floor as this monster remains quiet. There wasn’t much of a choice but to stand back up while listening for where this thing could strike from.
My wrench is sowhere on the floor... Out of reach.
Ghost could probably find it but I don’t know when this thing will attack again so this is a tricky spot. She might be the best bet with her vision being able to pick up on this monsters location.
"I don’t see anything... It’s hiding or it’s just that fast.." Ghost says softly with panic in her voice.
"Just stay calm, we got this... Cough. Cough." I respond before coughing.
Splat. I didn’t realize that blood had co up from those coughs... But that’s not what’s important right now.
Surviving against whatever monster is in here right now is the main goal. The pain surging throughout my body isn’t going to let do all that much.
What can I do?
I’m back to this way of thinking huh? Being stuck without any talent to fight against a monster inside of a dungeon. How could I possibly shift the tide to be more in our favor with these kind of wounds...
I began tightening my fists as I looked around the darkness. Feeling the anger within, sothing that I couldn’t quench easily.
This monster doesn’t seem to like light all that much so we just have to find a way to keep creating light. That would be the smartest move against it with the kind of reaction it had before.
"Ghost we need to get as much light in here as possible!" I shout while bracing myself.
I could hear it moving about this ti, almost like it wanted us to hear it for so odd reason. Ghost should also be moving around but it hasn’t gone for her once yet... Am I missing sothing?
Fighting in the dark will only prove to be futile for so I need to get so light in here. That will also put that monster at a disadvantage since it ran away when ghost tossed the torch over here.
Sothing was throwing off with this whole situation though, why was it after in the beginning? Ghost was in the darkness a bit more than and yet it went after first.
It clearly lacks sight which is a pretty big deal but that would an that it makes it up in its hearing or another form of detection.
Flicker. It went past without any hesitation and right towards Ghost, interrupting every possible thought I had at the mont.
There’s no way I was wrong... Why is it after her all of a sudden? Could it sense her from the beginning after all.
I can see the glow of her eyes in the dark and just barely I can see the monster rushing towards her.
I’m powerless to stop it from doing anything to her. My body is ssed up with no way of moving fast enough to stop it, what could I possibly do?
Useless.
I’m always forced to watch the ones I care about die, all because I’m stuck without a damn talent to save anybody.
Always useless. Why bother?
NO! I can’t just let this happen.
I clenched my jaw and could feel sothing crack as my anger began to overwhelm the pain in my gut. A burning feeling was sothing that I could feel forming within my gut, a feeling I never felt before.
That’s when I realized it was like fire... Not anything around , but within . In my lungs, in my chest, and in my veins.
Feeling as if sothing ancient was uncoiling in my ribs like a sleeping monster.
My skin burned. My vision flickered red. Ears filled with the sound of wings... No, scales scrapping bone. The air around bent, my blood hit the floor and I could hear it sizzle.
I don’t understand what just happened to yet but the inability to move feels like it’s been lifted. I think it’s about ti to handle this damn monster before whatever this is, goes away.
The general outline of the creature was all I could see but that was enough for to make my way over to it. I pushed myself off the ground, hearing the sound of the ground breaking a bit from under .
This was all so unfamiliar to that I didn’t know what to do with this strange feeling coming over .
My heartbeat was even louder than usual and it was drowning out a lot of whatever noises were in this room. It didn’t matter anymore because my goal was to kill this thing before it could harm ghost.
Finally I felt my fist connect with what I would assu to be the skull of this monster. CRACK! I could feel its skull breaking from the amount of force that was in the punch itself.
And within a matter of seconds I could hear the creature go flying through the air until finally it hits the wall in the distance. It sounded like a bunch of sticks hitting the hard stone floor.
The feeling was still within as if it was always there to begin with. This feeling wasn’t human by any ans, what happened to ?
I looked down to see steam rising from my arms... Not only that but through the ripped sleeves I could see sothing different...
Red cracks throughout my skin that seed to pulse... Like lava had filled my veins. Scales were actually all over my arms... Dark like obsidian and the pain from my gut wasn’t really there anymore.
Did this heal ...? I don’t understand what the hell is happening to right now. Am I turning into one of those damn monsters?!?!
I fall to my knees and raise my hands up to my head as I begin to panic.
All that strength definitely killed that monster and my wound seems to be healed but this feeling is completely different. There’s literally scales all over my arms and my vision was a bit distorted earlier too.
People with failed talents were rumored to turn into monsters... Is that happening to too?
"Rokuro?" Ghost calls out with a bit of caution in her voice.
