Scene 4 - Vengeance

Flying at high speeds Len flew forward ay the cyclops, her scythe raised high silver mana flowed out of her eyes enhancing her vision. Looking up clumsily the cyclops tilted its head and reached out with its hands to grab the pretty glowing lights.

Eyes narrow Len gripped tightly on her scythe when she was in striking distance and cut into the cyclops’s right hand severing two fingers. In sudden pain the cyclops wailed as it’s single eye scrunched up in anger, it tried to crush the colorful light between its hands only for the light to rapidly fly to the sky.

Len had used one of her mone needles infused mainly with Qi and some specks of mana to strengthen the sting. Then she threw it to the ceiling and then pulled on it sending her flying to the ceiling where she landed on her feet upside down.

Rune’s flaring around her body she sent her body like a projectile spinning around her scythe smashing down on the right arms shoulder cutting deeply into the flesh. Frustratedly with its huge size and fat content she couldn’t reach a tendon or bone to sever.

With a mighty roar, the cyclops smashed down his left hand on his shoulder in hopes to smash the annoying light into a paste. Alas, Len was too nimble with her needle arts moving at high speeds away to another wall where she launched another attack.

One slash after another Len chipped away at the Cyclops who despite slow and stupid could annoyingly protect its vital points such as its eye with uncanny precision. Its lifeforce was tremendous as after battling for few minutes noticed that the first wounds she caused had already clotted over and showed signs of healing.

Even the fingers she had severed showed signs of growing at a slow but sure place, despite her speed and her weapon's sharpness if she couldn’t mortally wound this monster somehow then if she didn’t flee soon back into one of the passageways she would run out of Qi and be killed when she became powerless.

Gritting her teeth at such a thought Len roared with furry, “DON’T FUCK WITH ME! YOU’RE GOING TO DIE TODAY!”

Furious at her lack of strength she suddenly remembered with Mathis did in the same situation, ‘Ah! That’s how I’ll kill this beast. Mindless attacking of the parts wouldn’t work against this beast only a concentrated attack can kill him!’

Len then began to think of how to accomplish this while dodging the cyclopes awfully slow attacks full of destructive power. The first problem while thinking she encountered was that she would run out of energy if she couldn't somehow restrict his movements to attack freely it would heal the damage enough that it wouldn't matter.

Looking around the room for anything she could use she noticed that the cyclops had actually smashed some of the rock on walls to rubble. Then she remembered seeing the labyrinth change and saw the bricks moving up and down as well moving side to side giving her a hunch that this labyrinth has multiple levels stacked on one another.

To test this theory while dodging the Cyclops attacks Luna started cutting into the rock like butter and after a few runs, the cut block fell down approving her theory. Although she didn’t know how big the room was below even restricting a leg would prove useful.

Putting her plan in motion Len started running around the ground with the power of her string needles and started to weaken the floor’s foundation. She even had the Cyclops unintentionally help as it stomped around following her it would send fists downwards creating holes.

Soon enough creaks and groans could be heard coming from the ground appearing that the stone floor wouldn’t be able to hold the cyclops weight. At that point, Len her next plan in action after moving around for so long bone needles attached with string lingered around the room.

She began to shift gears and gather the bone needles and strings via the way of lifting the stings in the air and pass them by to the point of gathering a large rope of qi string 106 stands strong. With a smile, Len used her Qi to connect the string together loosely where she was currently holding it.

Then taxing her brain Len then flew around on her one free needle string and then flew around the cyclops body piercing its skin with every needle in the bundle around its arms. Then she broke the loose bond to allow the string to flow freely wrapping itself around the monsters arms.

Thankfully the Cyclops didn’t mind the slight itch from the needles dead set on smashing this shiny insect bothering it from its snack. With the preparations done it was time to move, slashing and cutting through the stone the stone weakened further and further until a bone-chilling crack was heard then another.

‘Finally, the moment has come to finish this!’

The floor gave way at this moment which so happened while the Cyclops was running after Len this sudden change caused the cyclops to try and catch itself with its hands.

“NOW!”, Clenching her hand the Needles and string constricted thanks to Len’s power over magic allowing her to affect her qi strings from afar.

With its Arm’s restricted the Cyclops helplessly twisted and turned happening to fall on it’s back while falling to the room below. With this chance in hand, Len shot her one of her remaining two needles full of power straight into Cyclops exposed eye.

*Splurt*

And exploding splurt was heard as eyes flesh spread in all directions littered the surrounding, even some of the juices got on Len, but she didn’t care it seemed her needle had missed the brain.

Full of pain and agony the Cyclops tried to move its arms to cover it’s only for the qi string to surprisingly hold despite the ripping sounds. Len knew she had to work fast and so using her remaining needle she sent it forward straight into the neck of the monster pulling herself on top of the falling beast.

While in mid-air she began to rotate her scythe creating a vortex of wind liking a spinning top she yelled at the top of her lungs as she tore into the flesh, “I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU! YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!”

Tearing into the neck like a tornado green blood began to fly in all directions tinting the light to a bright green. In this large room, a few hallways entrances stuck out where figures stood watched on with wide eyes and mouths. One of these groups so happened to be was Nena and company watching full of amazement.

*Crash*

Fall of the height unexpectedly the Cyclops smashed through it like butter, making it cough out blood. A few needles embedded into its body actually loosened from the impact allowing it some movement in its right arm.

Despite working as fast as she could the Cyclops fat neck was really hard to cut through. The next room under them was a hallway surprisingly as the foot entered through the sound of bones break was drowned out by the Cyclops roars of rage and the rocks smashing downwards.

Len roared full of fury reaching the halfway mark on the neck, “I’m going to fucking kill you!”

Down the hallway could be seen three figures where Len caught a glimpse of the three.

‘Little brother and sister you are alright!’

Before disappearing as the Cyclops smashed through another floor dislodging, even more, bone needles. The two began to free fall at this point in time far away from the current location, at this moment Len was three-fourths through the neck the unthinkable happened.

Despite her planning her groundwork and her hope of restaining the giant's arms long enough a shadow appeared with her work almost done it was the Cyclops right-hand fingers were smashing into Len direction.

Determination filled her as well as madness, filling her right leg full of QI and mana Len turned to face the large log-like fingers and kicked the hand away! Although not without cost despite the Cyclops weakened state and how much force it could apply in mid-air without using its feet a large crack could be heard coming from Len’s leg making her scream in pain.

Eye’s doubling over Len didn’t stop though and roared, “I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD FOR MY LITTLE BROTHER!”

Finally, after cutting for so long the front of the neck had a large jagged line of green blood flowing out like a river and Len tightened her resolve to completely remove the Cyclop's head from its body!

Feeling closer to death the Cyclops instead of trying to attack Len tried to stop the bleeding with its free hand as Len tore through the back of the neck and spinal bone. While spinning through the air like a wheel of death she noticed the incoming ground close approaching and gritted her teeth.

She pulled on the strings tying up the Cyclops making it's back facing the ground, next shed pulled one of the strings she retrieved one of her bone needles shot it to quickly reach the floor digging the handle into the ground as far as she could. With her remaining Qi placed inside her arms enlarging her Scythe long enough to each hand turning the blade in reverse making it an executioner's blade!

“DIE FOR MY VENGEANCE! DECAPITATION!!!”

Lining the blade perfectly, the Cyclops fell on the blade severing its head clean off showering Len in filthy Green blood. With a loud thud, both parts fell to the ground when it was all said and done after grabbing the brightly lit Silver talisman Len was extremely tired wishing to fall asleep right there.

Alas, the Labyrinth rumbled and started shift around her opening her eyes weakly, she dug into her backpack and retrieved Mathis’s Tier 3 potion and downed it in one go.

Using her now normal sized scythe as a walking cane, she readied herself for any battle, but to her surprise, a safe room appeared on one of the walls. Seeing the chance for safety Len limped her way into the room and pulled out her sleeping bag laying on it.

Taking one of Mathis’s extra clothes she whipped her face from blood and motionlessly stared at the ceiling. Her body felt like lead, her leg was broken and cuts large and small surrounded her body.

But she had gotten it she had gotten revenge for her little brother. With a faint smile and a tear in her eye, Len whispered to herself, “I’ll kill those... bandits... as well... don’t worry... little brother…”
