The giant tiger in the sky roared so loudly that it shook the very ground. The booms that rang out from the fight between the many men flying in the sky and the tiger were amazing to look at with the various colored abilities getting thrown about.
On the ground, 2 of the 5 ice puppets that Freya had made had already been destroyed by the monsters they had been fighting. However, they had also managed to kill a lot of monsters as well
HUFF HUFF
Freya could barely catch a breath after she killed a monster as another one would pop up out of nowhere and she had to fight once more. Her blue clothes were dyed red with blood and it was impossible to tell which blood belonged to her and which got on her from killing a monster.
However, no matter how bloody she was, the sheath and the sword never had any blood stick to them. Blood would slip off of the sword and sheath, like it was oil on water.
Freya killed another monster. This time it was a monster that looked like a boar but with giant tusks. Another ice puppet had fallen, taking with it another dozen or so of the monsters.
She looked around and saw that there wasn’t another monster coming for her, so she took a rest to get her breath back. He took a long and large breath each time she took in the air and sent it out.
Both of the Nings were both horrified and surprised at the current situation. They were horrified at how big of a disaster it was. With bodies were thrown everywhere, blood everywhere making one doubt if it even was winter any more, and the sheer sounds of cries and explosions. These were all things that Ning had never seen before, so both minds of Ning were currently horrified at this.
However, they were also surprised at how strong the girl they had stayed with for over a year was. She was singlehandedly killing dozens of monsters with herself and the ice puppets.
They were also surprised at how much Energy they were gaining from all the general chaos around them. Although the heat energy wasn’t that high, the sound energy was a lot and they were happily absorbing it.
BOOM
Both Nings suddenly focused above them and saw the fight between the men and the flying tiger.
‘Hmm… isn’t there 1 less man up there?’ Ning A asked.
‘I think so, where is that guy?’ Ning B asked.
They looked around the fight up above and didn’t see another guy anywhere. From that, they could surmise what had happened to him. The person had either died or been critically injured and had to escape the fight.
There was also another possibility of the person either betraying the group and running away or just being a general coward and burring away. But seeing the entire village of similarly dressed people fight so bravely, giving away their lives to stop the hoard of monsters from entering the village, they let go of any thought that looked at these men in a negative light.
They didn’t feel it was right to underplaying their glory by doubting them. Suddenly, another boom came from above them and they saw the tiger hit a man directly in the chest.
Although their vision wasn’t the best, they clearly saw the man explode into a bunch of different pieces. He was without a doubt dead.
This was a horrifying scene that they hadn’t expected to see. If they were in a human body right now, even if all the death and destruction didn’t do it, that scene would definitely make them vomit.
Suddenly, they saw something moving near a tree. A monster directly came out of there. Its footsteps were hidden under the constant sound of the remaining 2 ice puppets fighting.
‘Oh, no. It’s behind her. We need to help her.’ Ning A said.
‘What do we do?’ Ning B said.
‘Let me in control for a bit.’ Ning A said, which Ning B didn’t deny.
Ning A didn’t know the language of the land, but he still shouted in his own language, “Behind You”. Freya was surprised at the foreign-sounding voice with a foreign language. She didn’t know where it came from and immediately turned around as she got apprehensive.
The monster that was coming out stopped as it saw the girl turning around and meeting its eyes. The monster was a deer-like creature, however, instead of antlers, it was a goat horn. And instead of normal teeth, it had large sharp teeth with exceptionally large fangs.
The fur in its body was very brown and was camouflaged perfectly with the tree around it. Had it not been for Ning’s shout, Freya would’ve most definitely fallen victim to the sneak attack of this chimera-like monster.
Freya was still out of breath, but she still got up with her sword at the ready. The ice puppets were thinning out the monsters, but there were still some and it would take a bit more time to be done with them.
Freya knew for sure that they would not be able to help her. But what worried her more was the fact that this monster was without a single doubt, the strongest monster she had fought today. Or perhaps in her entire lifetime.
She slowly brought up her sword as it started glowing slowly. Her chest heaved up and down with every single breath as she waited for the monster to make the first move.
The monster also seemed a little intelligent so it didn’t directly attack and instead tested waters first. A weird-sounding growl came out of its mouth that quickly turned into a tempest of blades that shot her.
With a single wave of her sword, she turned the multitude of blades coming her way into a bunch of snowflakes. As the snowflakes fell down, she readied another of her attack and got ready to take the offensive.
However, the monster had vanished from her side. Suddenly, she felt a chill towards her right as massive fangs tried to bite her off from the side.
