Lin: Get out of here, and find the key!!
Lin shouted towards the running Chuck. Chuck was already far away from him, but he could still hear his words.
Chuck: What do you think I'm doing..???!!!
Chuck angrily clapped back at Lin, who was still smiling.
Savanta: I don't laik youur smail!!!
Savanta raised his fat slobby arms and the chain in his hands went high up in the air, and Savanta brought it back in full force to strike at Lin. Lin easily avoided the axe from piercing him and cutting him in half. Lin had jumped to the opposite side where his other blade resided, after he had thrown it.
Lin: Thanks. Now I have both blades.
Lin gave off another smug smile, angering Savanta once more. He was throwing a childish tantrum, but given his size, it looked creepy.
Savanta attacked once more, this time swinging his axe horizontally, but Lin jumped higher than its axis, and went forward towards his face and stabbed Savanta in the eye.
He pulled out his blade and stood in front of him, but Savanta fell on his ass, all the while holding his bleeding eye socket. Savanta was screaming in pain. But then Lin noticed "it".
He had thrown the sword directly through his head earlier. Now, it had completely healed as if stitched together. He had never seen how the monster did it, so it should have happened while they were fighting. But it begged the question: How did he heal himself.
Lin: A Blessing huh..?
Lin smiled. He was well aware of Blessings existing all over the world. So he was a bit saddened that he didn't have one, while Savanta did.
Savanta: Yeah!!! Myaster said yuu don't have a bleshing. I have wan!! Sho, I am stronger!!!
Savanta grinned, and it was visible now that he had stitched his eye socket together. And instead of the eyeball being missing, since he had cut it, there was a brand new eyeball. Lin concluded that it wasn't a Blessing like the one Melissa had.
Lin: Yeah, I was wondering how any God could bless a monstrosity like you...
Savanta: Dyont act like yuu know God!! We are the real Chyildren of Goooodddd!!!
Savanta roared with rage as he attacked with his axe once more. Lin, as usual avoided it once more. He tried cutting his flesh in different areas, and succeeded in doing so. But it still wasn't enough, as Savanta was regenerating himself again and again.
Lin: Okay, that is one troublesome Blessing. But that's all ain't it?? What's the use if you can't land a single blow??
Savanta stopped and lowered his head.
Lin: All I need to do is keep you out until the kid brings the key. So we win anyway.
Savanta had grown awfully quiet all of a sudden. He then lifted his head, his eyes red in rage. He then roared again and stomped hard on the ground. The ground cracked, but no sound was emitted. It was completely silent. It was weird, because he could hear his roar, but not the force of his enormous feet and the ground cracking.
Savanta suddenly vanished, and when Lin turned, Savanta was above him. With a powerful stomp, Savanta landed on Lin, absolutely crushing him. It was almost as if he had teleported. It was soo quick that Lin had no way to know if it was enhanced speed or straight up teleportation.
His huge foot, stomped him so hard to the ground, that Lin fell on his stomach, blood spurting out of his mouth, cracking the ground below him. And just like before, there was no sound. Lin had definitely broken few rib bones. But Lin would always persevere.
He then heard a loud scream from the direction where Chuck had run. It was as if he was in trouble. Lin was disappointed again, as he realised that he had to go save the kid again.
He immediately raised what he could of his upper body and used both his Kukris to slam into the ground and break it even more. Savanta was formidable considering that he could erase sound, teleport and even regenerate. There was no way Lin could win. Not while knowing only the information he had now. So his priority was to make sure Chuck reached his goal.
Lin pulled hard on his blades, and using the force he got away from under his foot. He then kneeled and looked at Savanta. Lin groaned in pain and as he felt a rush of broken bones all over his body. He then with stood the pain and jumped in the air, facing the approaching Savanta. He then threw on of his blades at the monster's temple. It pierced his head straight, and Savanta went back a little.
Lin used this chance to run towards the scream from Chuck. He was struggling at first, but after a few meters, he began picking up speed. Savanta saw this, and with the blade still stuck in his forehead, he rushed forward to catch the running blue-armoured guy.
Lin kept running in what felt like a maze, but his instincts told him where Chuck was. He was occasionally checking on the location of Savanta who was chasing him, and curiously Savanta wasn't teleporting.
As he turned left, he bumped into Chuck who was running from something.
Lin: Woah!! What happened to you??
Chuck was panting. He then pointed to the direction from which he came from.
Chuck: That!!!
Lin followed his hand to see the corridor he came from. In the middle of the place were two Cyclops. Great!! Lin thought. More enemies.
Lin: You scared of these things?? Grow up!!
Chuck: I don't remember you winning against one of them too!!
As Chuck stated it, Lin just stared at him blankly.
Lin: You got a bit of a mouth, ain't you, Chico?
Chuck: That's not my- you know what...I'm pretty sure you don't care.
Lin: As long as you understand.
As they were busy talking, they heard a noise from behind.
Savanta: I found yuuuuuuu!!!
Both of them immediately recognized that disgusting, annoying voice. It was Savanta.
They both turned in unison, only to see the horrifying huge palm of the monster, trying to grab them! Lin immediately jumped and caught Chuck in his arms and started running towards the Cyclops.
Chuck: You are running TOWARDS it????!
Lin: Trust me mid, we have no choice. They are an easy opponent compared to the monster behind us.
Chuck: But how we gonna defeat them??
Lin: Don't you remember how Max defeated them? They are weak to light!!
Chuck, still on Lin's back, grabbed the light block in the wall. When they were almost near the Cyclops he threw it at them! Lin then threw the Kukri blade the block and it exploded in light, defeating both the monsters at the same time.
Chuck: Woohoo!!
Lin: It worked!!
Chuck turned back to see if Savanta was following them. But instead he saw an empty corridor.
Chuck: Lin! Something's wrong!! Savanta is gone!!
Lin: Who??!
Lin was unaware of the monster's name but then in front of him, Savanta suddenly appeared. Lin tried stopping in his tracks, but it was impossible. Even though he tried, he couldn't dodge completely. Savanta still hit Lin and both fell down on opposite sides of floor.
Chuck got up, and in front of him, was a firefly. And when he saw that, he remembered an important part of his past...
