《Reborn-----the unexpected tales》Chapter 6:Life or death
Advertisement
Jumping back swiftly i dodge the tail that slashes in front of me creating a deep gouge in earth, not wasting my time i instantly use spell "transformation" to change my skin into deep amethyst colored crystal.Charging at the hydra is slash my claw out at its torso barely making a wound, break out in cold sweat at the display of sheer defensive power hydra has.
Landing on the ground after jumping back i am met with a water slash that causes a white line and a crack to appear on the place it slashed.Letting out a sigh of relief at my own defensive power i use "essence bomb" to create 16 nail size earthen colored spheres to appear.
For a second they just float in front of me but they soon start swirling around me at a steady pace creating an improvised shield from any larger attack.As soon as i finished casting the spell the hydra already got out of water and is slashing at me with its large lizard-like limb ignoring those small earth colored spheres.
It slashes 4 essence bombs completely stopping its claw and knocking it back while causing 4 bloody dents to appear on its arm.It seems surprised for a secondthat i am not that easy of a prey but it still does not stop attacking as it forms 8 water-scythes ready to reap my life.
Not wishing to completely rely on defense of my essence bomb i create 4 earth walls in front of me while also jumping back.Two water scythes break the first wall and smash against the second wall causing few cracks to appear,in a second another two water scythes break through the weakened wall and causing more cracks to appear on third wall.
In the end it only took 6 water scythes to completely break four walls as the remaining two scythes fly after me.Frowning i create two earth spikes and send them flying,the earth spikes manage to weaken the water scythe for about 70% but they too are completely broken.
But still i am more than confident to block the rest with my body,the scythes slash against me causing two white lines to appear but not even causing a crack, this time i use spell "mana burst" to conjure 4 blue colored spears while moving 4 essence bombs in their hilts.
Making 4 thin mana threads i attach them to the hilts of spears while charging at the hydra,in a second i am in front of hydra that looks at me smugly while casting a thin barrier around its torso.Feeling angry i urge the 4 mana spears to stab in its torso but they only manage to break the barrier and stab in about 15 cm.

Hydra looks a bit angered since i managed to break that water barrier so it raises both front legs preparing to slash me apart properly.
Even though this is barely enough to be considered a light wound i jump back while pulling 4 threads attached to mana spears.As soon as the threads detached the essence bombs exploded causing the 4 spears to stab 1 meter deep into it.
Howling in agony it stares at me with red eyes while slashing at me,i use the remaining essence bombs to protects my self from its claws,they manage to slow the claws greatly but it they still continue flying towards me with great strength.
I lift my hands and place them beside me while activating spell "strengthening".Both claws smash against my arms with great strength but my arms remain unmoving as the shock wave spreads under me causing a 1x1 crater to appear under me.
The cracks spread on my arms as few pieces fall of revealing completely white arms under, my eyes turn red as i stare in the eyes of the enraged hydra.Jumping back i put my hands on the ground extracting some metal and refining it in a 1,5 meter long metal staff with a hilt.
Using mana i infuse the staff with it creating an illusory one sided long blade, even though this "sword" is a good deal bigger than me i can wield it with ease.
Rising the sword over my head i charge at the hydra that finished dissolving mana spears inside it before before jumping at me and slashing with one claw.
Infusing the sword with earth element i increase its strength by a great deal while at the same time creating 4 nail size essence bombs and infusing them in the back side of the sword.
Lowering my sword so that it slightly scrapes the ground i use the spell "strengthening" once again as i swipe my sword in upwards motion crashing directly against the claw of hydra.
My body trembles heavily from the impact as few long cracks appear on my arms, hydra however keeps pushing down as we battle for supremacy but it is obvious that i am being pushed down.The hydra once again smiles smugly looking forward to watching me being crushed into meat paste.
Using this opportunity i activate 4 essence bombs as they explode outwards and pushing my sword with great force that causes armor on my hands to immediately break apart in pieces up to my shoulders revealing pale white colored skin that soon gets covered in many scratches from the remnant explosion.

Finally calming down i can see half of hydra's arm flying upwards covering me in its blood.Feeling that i wasted about 70% of my mana total i make a resolve to continue attacking since it will surely kill me if it gets any advantage at all.
I use 20% of mana i have left to create 10 mana spears infused with nail sized essence bombs.Jumping onto the back of the hydra i urge all the spears to explode instantly as they all pierce a bit less than 1 meter in it.
Feeling the terrible pain on its back hydra howls in agony as it slashes it tail against my back sending me flying against the cave wall.Feeling a deep gash in my back i break out in cold sweat, the armor on my back is completely shattered revealing a single deep wound on it.
Urging my self i manage to stand up and stare at the hydra that currently has most of its organs destroyed and is bleeding heavily from multiple spots.it is missing half of one arm and is using its tail to support itself so it does not fall over therefore allowing me to kill it.
Focusing all the remaining power i conjure 5 meter long spear with a palm sized essence bomb inside it.The hydra does something similar as it it creates a 5 meter large globe of water, i can see that it has concentrated large amount of water inside that globe so it probably has fearsome ability.
Screaming in pain anger and hint of sorrowful hope i send the spear flying at the hydra, it also sends the globe of water flying at speed greater than the spear.
After 1 second they both collide mid air causing and explosion and creating a crater under them,i use the opportunity to explode the essence bomb that manages to pierce the globe of water scattering it into tens of water scythes that create deep gouges everywhere.
One of them manages to hit my chest but my armor manages to endure it for a second before shattering into dust together with scythe leaving a thin red line on my chest.
My spear however pierces deep into the chest of hydra causing it to howl in anger and pain before collapsing...
For a minute or so you can hear sound of rocks crumbling and waves in lake crushing violently against the coast.But soon everything turns eerily quiet, i finally sigh in relief as i stand up while breathing heavily feeling exhausted beyond belief as i stare at the motionless body of hydra.
Smilling i am about to lay to sleep i notice the body of hydra twitching before standing up with great rage in its eyes.I open my eyes in disbelief as it staggers towards me with intention of killing me or at least taking me down with it.
Having no strength to resist i watch the hydra as it arrives before me and opening its maw as the smell of death engulfs me.Feeling unwillingness to die i close my eyes while trying to run away, but my body does not listen at all.
I collapse on the ground as i groan from the pain trying to resist somehow soon i feel my soul trembling as a part of it splits before shooting out of my forehead and hitting the hydra straight on its forehead.
Laying on the ground i felt my life being drained away for a moment before stopping.Waiting for death i lay down motionlessly for about 15 seconds before opening my eyes to see why i am not dead yet.
I stare at the hydra as its eyes turn dimmer as its body trembles slightly,soon its eyes fill with disbelief before collapsing next to me.Looking at it for a moment i am filled with shock and fear as i see many windows pop out in front of me before i myself fall unconscious feeling utterly exhausted.
Trembling i close my eyes before my mind slips away.

When hell freezes over
An ancient seal has been broken and a forgotten power returns to the world gradually, upsetting the balance of normality. People used to say "I'll do that when hell freezes over" jokingly, but now that saying holds more weight in a changing world where people have to get used to the unusual. Ancient creatures hidden in the earth stir from their slumber of centuries, and humanity is not prepared for their ancient powers. Can the human race of steel and fire stand against the creatures created by the most ancient of powers? Is the human race pure enough to band together and form a closed fist as they did centuries ago? Find out in this adventure where Jacob starts off on his way on a normal day towards his job. "I get the feeling this story might be one of those 'diamonds in the rough'. The premise is quite solid, there's plenty of room to flesh out the characters. It's quite easy to get into and be engaged by at the moment, imo. I don't know where the story will go from here, but it's off to a good start me thinks." - Xenower Attribution: The cave picture in the book cover is made by Stanislav Sedov and is licensed under CC-BY-SA-2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ This picture was modified from the original with an overlaid moon and sea picture to be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/ssedov/26342569905 The photographer has no affiliation to Tschallacka nor can be held accountable for the use of this picture the way as it is here.
