BXBX NOVEL Chapter 45: Curse
\'Did I kill him? \'He must be weaked from getting out of there,\' thought Theos, betwe closing his eyes to look over all that smoke that was slowly dissipating.
"Theos... What exactly is that?", Luna asked off to the side, the two wolves already fully summoned and out of their shadows.
"That\'s... Possibly the fusion of a human with a Curse," Theos stated continuing to watch the smoke slowly dissipate.
Luna didn\'t ask any more questions, because she already knew the complexity of the battle from seeing Theos\' conctration and panicked expression earlier. An always confidt figure, for the first time, expericed panic... What was that creature that could fright the one she considered a monster among monsters?
Theos, on the other hand, was thinking of a thousand and one plans for the currt situation. \'Not with a thousand years of planning would I have imagined a cursed creature to be here, not ev its existce should exist in this part of the kingdom,\' Theos thought uncomprehdingly.
*Whosh*
But he couldn\'t think much about it.
Not ev had the human dissipated wh the figure appeared, not just anywhere, but it was... In front of him, separating him only a couple of ctimeters away.
"Aghhh," Theos group as he took a blow that st him flying backward, crashing into the concrete wall and being embedded there, with more than three brok ribs.
"What the fuck... Uhhh," he couldn\'t ev curse, blood spurting out of his mouth.
"Theos!", Luna shouted, worriedly at the powerful attack he received. But she couldn\'t let her guard down; mtally, she commanded a wolf to charge toward the figure that was now standing idly by.
Meanwhile, the other wolf wt to Theos to help him.
\'Shit, this is bad,\' he concluded as he felt the pain in his body, but not letting himself be overcome by fear or pain, with all his strgth he tried to get out of the concrete wall, with the help of the wolf the things made easier for him, but not that he was happy about it.
"Help Luna, you bastard, Help her!" he cried out in desperation, trying to get out of the concrete wall with all his might.
But the wolf didn\'t list to him, why would he list to him? His mistress and creator gave him this task, so for him, it was an order that could not be brok.
But such a reaction made Theos more desperate. "To hell with it all th," he shouted, slowly making a small blade with his Mana, which I th wielded to stab his very skin.
"..." He said nothing but continued the process of cutting the skin on the left arm that was embedded, ripping off all of his skin; his arm was freed completely, but with the living flesh on his now ssitive arm.
With the help of the left arm, augmting his physical capabilities with more Mana, he detached his other arm from there, and with more ease, he completely got out of the concrete wall.
"I\'ll kill you if it\'s the last one I do," he roared, his crimson eye began to glow madly as he grabbed the sword from the g and propelled himself into battle.
"..." His eyes fixed on Luna, who contained a lot of wounds on her body, bruises, and cuts, and ev her right arm seemed to be leftover natural as if it had be left without bones.
The shadow armor she summoned was slowly disappearing, now only having a part of her that protected her chest and legs.
On the other hand, the subject, a curse, also had armor but complete, his armor as a tissue of his muscles protected his whole body, including a helmet of muscle tissues that protected his head.
His figure also grew, reaching meters in height and now as sturdy as a mountain.
With his right hand, the curse strangled the shadow wolf, destroying it completely.
It was like a one-sided beating, Luna could no longer fight because of her injuries and exhaustion.
But Theos was not willing to lose. With his heart of Mana, he activated his Path: Celestial Corrupted.
Instantly, darkness itself appeared in his body suring him as he moved closer to the Curse, who noticed the explosive surge of Mana.
Curse didn\'t say a single word; he launched himself toward Theos, veloped in darkness; the impressive speed of the two parties brought them face to face in less than a second.
The two clashed with their power, making the whole room tremble from the mere impact of the two forces.
The shockwave spread ev for Luna, who had to move away to watch the battle of the two titans...
"But I won\'t stand idly by," she confessed, gathering Mana in her hand, the shadows gathering there to gradually form a great spear.
Instead, the darkness suring Theos disappeared, revealing a differt figure, the crimson cracks on the left parts of his face became more evidt and deeper, but his right eye did not ev contain pupils, totally black and dark.
His body became more robust, with two rather long wings on his back giving him more momtum.
The figure and he collided, Theos with his Death Fragmt, and the curse with its very tissues created a kind of sword that resisted the power of a Legdary weapon.
Below them, cracks in the g formed more and more, but neither of them paid any atttion to it.
But that wasn\'t all the game for Theos, who, with a face colder than ever, smiled mysteriously. "Nah, I\'ll win... I\'ll make you experice worshipping a superior being from below...", he confessed, his wings flapping little by little with more speed, making Theos gain more strgth and pushing the curse back.
The recoil didn\'t ev affect the curse\'s attitude, the mass of flesh on his head began to grow, teeth protruding and grinning with mock amusemt.
"Weak," he blurted out a single phrase, the phrase Theos hated the most in his tire life, but...
Suddly, both of his arms snapped off.
