Chapter 10: Savior Of A Calamity
(Gore warning) (just in case)
Yoon Harin barely was able to dodge the attack, she jumped back while unsheathing her blade from her waist, I stared at Eldrin, who was now a wild beast as I thought, 'How do I save someone like you?'
'There.. has to be a way...right?'
I hesitantly drew out Magnus and was unable to hold it straight because my hands were shaking slightly, they slowly steadied as I took a few deep breaths.
'I have to save him...'
Yoon Harin was suddenly being hit with a flurry of attacks from Eldrin's great sword, every hit sent her back a few meters, she could barely hold on If I didn't do something she would fail the entrance exam and I would fail to save her, I quickly accelerated Eldrin's Great Sword into the ground which made it miss Yoon Harin completely and trapped its blade in the ground.
*THOOM*
Yoon Harin attempted to stab Eldrin yet was knocked back by his fist before she could land a blow, suddenly a pair of twin blades appeared in Eldrin's hands as he charged at Yoon Harin who was unable to block the attack.
'FUCK'
*CLANG!*
I quickly blocked one sword with Magnus and sent the other one downwards using acceleration, as our swords clashed I was pushed back due to Eldrin's strength, Yoon Harin went behind Eldrin attempting to attack him from behind, yet Eldrin kicked me in the stomach and I was sent flying into a nearby tree.
"GAAAK-"
*THUD!*
*CRACK!*
Eldrin then blocked Yoon Harin's blade using his remaining blade and began pushing her back with a flurry of slashes.
*CLANG! CLANG! SHING!*
'GET UP, I HAVE TO GET UP..'
I forced myself to get up, my body ached, and everything hurt, I used Magnus to levitate Eldrin's other blade on the ground. I quickly accelerated the blade at Eldrin.
*ZING!*
*BANG!*
Eldrin quickly blocked the flying blade with his own sword which created sparks in the air, while he was distracted Yoon Harin retreated back to where I was. Me and Yoon Harin quickly dashed at Eldrin who picked up his other twin blade off the ground after it bounced back from him blocking it.
Eldrin ran at us at full force, as he reached us slamming his twin blades down at Yoon Harin, I quickly slammed my blade into his right arm making his blood cover the ground.
*SCHLK!* *SPLECH!*
The moment I did he roared out in anger and sunk his fangs into my left shoulder.
"GAAAAOOOR!"
*SCHLRRK!*
"AAACK-"
I gritted my teeth and slammed Magnus deeper into their arm as I did they sunk their teeth deeper into my shoulder.
*SHRRIP!* *SQUELCH-*
"KHh-"
Blood spilled from my shoulder, and down my uniform, 'FUCK!'
While injured and as he bite down on my shoulder he continued fighting Yoon Harin, like I was never there. Yoon Harin was being pushed back by his attacks, her arms shaking each time their swords clashed, the sounds of clanging filled the entire area.
*CLANG CLANG CLANG*
I quickly accelerated Magnus upwards which tore parts of Eldrin's right arm upwards trapping the blade in his flesh.
*SHRRIRIRIP!*
In retaliation he chomped down harder and bit part of my left shoulder off, blood spilled onto the ground and area as he jumped back.
"AAACK-"
*CRUNCH!* *SHRRIP!*
*Drip... Drip... Drip..*
I looked at Yoon Harin whose sword now had many cracks forming on its blade, her usual cold and serious expression was completely gone, she had a grim and scared look on her face and her arms were still shaking from the impact of Eldrin's attacks.
'Fuck.. it hurts..'
I glanced back at Eldrin who was wiping the blood off his face by smearing it on his sleeve, he destroyed Magnus by ripping its hilt off his arm because the blade was jammed too deeply into his arm to be removed. I tried moving yet my legs wouldn't move from exhaustion and pain from Eldrin's attacks.
Roaring out, Eldrin ran at Yoon Harin like a beast, slamming his blade downwards destroying her blade yet barely missing her body.
*CRACK!*
He quickly punched her flying into a tree right after he missed with his sword In quick succession he threw one of his swords at her when she hit the tree.
Yoon Harin, grunted in pain as she was punched, "GAHH!-"
*FWOO-*
*BOOM!*
I forced my body even more to move once more, Roaring in pain, I used acceleration to force the blade flying at Yoon Harin to fly back into Eldrin at incredible speeds.
*ZING*
The blade was faster than Eldrin's reaction time, it quickly pierced into his chest and was lodged inside, roaring in pain he glared right at me, I had his full attention now.
"GAAAOOOR!!"
He quickly charged at me and I quickly accelerated his other blade into the ground lodging it in the ground. Roaring out in anger, he ran at me on all fours limping slightly due to his injuries.
"AAAOOOR!!!"
I quickly picked up a shard of Yoon Harin's broken sword and stabbed it in his head as he reached me while using acceleration on it. The moment it pierced him his claws were already on my body slowly tearing it apart, time seemed to slow down as multiple screens began appearing in front of me, I grinned to myself after seeing the screens.
