Chapter 7: Dying Wish
“Immune? But can you take care of it Yukie?”, I asked.
“Im not sure, because my physical combat rank is only B-Rank”, said Yukie.
“Even the teachers here are not focused on physical combat except for the weapon master instructor”.
The demon prepared to threw its sword towards the students on the dining hall door, then Yukie casted, “Fire Lance”, to the demon, she knew it was not effective, but she had to do it to distract the demon.
Then Yukie imbue her feet with wind magic, “Propel”, then she flew very fast toward Durandal.
Clang! Her sword met with Durandal's shield, then she swing upward,
“Anabatic Slash”, her sword suddenly pushed by a gust of wind upward, it hit Durandal's left arm armor joint, then she continued with another slash,
“Kanabatic Slash”, the sword suddenly move downward with very high velocity pushed by the wind downward, Making a upside down V slash.
Durandal's left arm and right arm fell down to the ground, 'KUONG', sound of the metal met with the stone ground.
Then Durandal headbutt Yukie while she was vulnerable after doing the 2 slash attacks.
“Guahh!”, she flew back a few steps and stab her sword on the ground to stop being thrown further.
“I guess thats not too effective, ceh”, she wiped her blood from her forehead.
Durandal's both arm went back to the original place as if there was no any damage at all.
“Yukie, this doesnt look good, does it have any weakness?”, I asked.
“Yes, Durandal has a core inside the armor, but we need physical attacks to damage the armor”.
“Or Magic that has physical property, like Earth Magic”.
“My magic Fire and Wind are bad match up with this demon”, she added.
“You there! In the dining hall, are there any earth mages?”.
“Find them! An earth spike or stone throw can do damage to this demon”.
Then the shield suddenly flew past Yukie and it headed toward me.
Crap, I cannot avoid this. Then suddenly a big guy stood in front of me, “Earth wall”, it was Winston. The earth erected from the ground making a wall.
The shield is just too strong, it breaks down the wall and hit Winston on the stomach. “KUHH”, he was thrown to the back along with me who was behind him.
“Winston! Winston! Wake up!”, I shouted while trying to break free from his huge body. He seemed to be unconcious.
I pushed him to the side with all my might, “Move!!”, then I managed to break free from Winston.
I felt like Durandal's eyes were locked onto me. I ran to the left trying to hide behind one of the pillars. It start walking toward my direction, am I his target? I ran away to the right to another pillar on the opposite direction then it changed direction to the right.
“I am the target!”, I shouted.
“Im aware!”, Yukie stopped Durandal path then she start brandishing a few slashes to the demon.
Clang!, clang!, clang! Every slash was imbued with wind, the speed of the slashes were enhanced several times faster.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!, every slash was blocked by Durandal's shield.
“Thats no ordinary shield”, she said.
“Ultimate!”, She held up her long katana upward with both hands, then she imbued the sword with fire and wind magic at the same time.
“Phoenix!”, she swung her sword then a fire bird came out from her sword and the bird flew toward the demon.
Just before the fire bird hit the demon, she gripped her palm, “Explosion”, BOOM! The fire bird exploded just before it hit Durandal.
The demon's shield destroyed from the explosion..
“That take care of the annoying shield, the shield is not part of its body thats immune to magic”, she said.
The demon attached the chain from the broken shield to its sword and the demon started swinging the sword.
Wung, Wung, Wung, Wung, the sound of the sword swinging faster and faster and it released the sword toward me. Me and Yukie did not anticipated the move, the sword was moving very fast from the side, I did not have the time to dodge it.
Yukie blocked the swinging sword, she held her katana with two hands, one on the grip and the other one on the blunt side of the katana.
KABLAM! The demon's sword clashes with Yukie's katana. She got thrown while stopping the sword but that gave me time to dodge the sword trajectory.
Yukie got blown to a pillar, BLAM, blood can be seen pouring out form her mouth as her back hit the pillar.
She leaned on the pillar, “Run”, she whispered softly, no energy left on her body.
I looked at the demon, it walked toward Yukie while reeling its chain sword back to the demon.
I picked up a stone from the rubles on the ground and threw it to the demon.
Clank! It hit the helmet of the demon but it did not change its attention to me.
“Hey, over here god damn it!”, I shouted.
But it kept walking toward almost unconscious Yukie.
I want to save her, protect her, but my body wont move. It crossed my mind to just ran away and left Yukie.
My Feet trembled.
“GRAAHHH”, I yelled and I ran to the front of Yukie.
“Fireball!”, nothing happened.
“Earth Spike!”, nothing happened.
“Meteor!”, nothing happened.
I just randomly shouted any magic that I knew from video games.
But in the end nothing came out.
Durandal arrived in front of me, it's black eyes with shadow seeping through the eye socket of the helmet were looking at me.
I looked back at Yukie and said, “Im sorry in the end I couldnt do anything”.
Then a sharp pain felt through my stomach. The demon sword pierced my body and then the demon took out the sword. “URGGHH”, I fell flat on the ground just beside Yukie.
Yukie held my hand, “And im sorry too, I couldnt protect you”.
Then Durandal came closer to deliver the finishing blow.
I looked at Yukie while holding her hand and said,
“I wish this is a video game, where we can respawn.... or load.....”, then suddenly the world is pitch black, its spinning around uncontrollably.
“Hey are you okay??! You suddenly lagged out like 3 seconds there”, Winston rushed to me.
Im... Back at the gamers club?
