Trial and Tribulation (Part 2)

"You've sustained quite a bit of injury," Alistor said.

"Heh… Look like I won't be able to fight on. Go on ahead without me. I'll try catching up later."

"You did well; take it easy," Katty said.

He grasps tight on the side of his left rib, wrapped in a cloth. The rest make their way to the next door. They advance through the next floor with another spiraling hallway waiting for them.

The next room was cold and filled with solid ice. A massive Ice titan in the shape of a crystal appears before them.

"Brrr! It's cold again." Katty shivered.

"Doesn't matter; look, our next opponent is here." Blade pointed.

Taking the first look, Katty gets intimidated by the size of the Ice titan. It stares intensely down at him. Spiked from the base of its crystal structure. It has its hands opened out.

"This one's even bigger than the last one."

Blade takes the first step in, but Katty steps in.

"Let me take this one. I've been itching to get a workout."

"Fine, Katty, just don't be reckless," Alistor said.

"Just leave it to me."

The two move back as the next fight begins. Katty instantly vanishes from sight at the very first start. The monster was confused, turning its head around.

The monster kept its guard up. Katty reappears from behind to make the first strike delivering an explosive impact from behind the beast. Chunks of ice chipping off from the top. The monster claps both its hands, firing an icy shockwave at him. Katty gets flung back. Shards of Ice begin firing from the monster's mouth.

"Oh snap!"

He was forced to jump and flip across the room while shards continuously fired. Finally, he fires a charged shot at the monster's face to stop the attack. Pillars of Ice begin stabbing out from the ground catching him by surprise. Katty rushes forward to make a finishing attack.

"Let's see how you like this!"

A swift golden energy forms across the tip of his weapon. Both opposing sides pass through each other. A slash of heavy cutting can be heard. It turned around at Katty only to notice its vision split into four.

The monster was cut more than sixteen times. On the one hand, the titan tried putting all its effort into grabbing him before it exploded.

"Well…That was a workout. I'm still good to go." Katty jumped.

"Heh… Let's move on then." Alistor said.
