7 Teeth and blood

'What?'

'Is this… how I am going to die?'

As her body was falling backward…

Eva's mind was filled with flashbacks of… anime characters that always say that stupid phrase as they observe in slow motion how their blood splashed everywhere.

It could be because of a bullet, a sword, a katana, some random magic spell, some wild beast, or it could be like how she was obtaining her side of the experience… an arm long tooth?

"Eva!!!"

Sebastian disappeared from the side of Joseph, running at full speed to his sister, who was found laying on the floor, leaning on one arm so as not to fall completely.

But despite having lost the calm, his certainty obligated him to run outside of the attack range.

During the course, the six-arm did not move.

The monster had its arms resting over the ground, head hung low, and down on one knee from the tendon Eva cut.

'The shot might have worked.' He thought.

But even so, that colossus body did not fall, and it had no sign to lose balance; 'the thing is dead' would be a wonderful expectation, but it was unlikely.

"Get away!" The voice of Eva was heard again, but this time, weaker than usual.

For one moment Sebastian thought the words were for him, 'get away from here, it's dangerous'.

But soon, he knew it wasn't that.

In his eyes, Eva was waiving the ax without any pattern, a sign of nervousness.

Facing her, there was a not-over-one-meter high creature approaching.

Eva could simply back off, but the fear seemed incredibly injected in her state that it was like if she had forgotten that option.

"Get away from her!" Sebastian waved his ax with fury.

Fuwwgh!

The sound of wood cutting the air was beautiful, but… it was not the desired kind of sound for this timorous moment.

The silver ax was still that silver ax, warning a product-less attack.

It took only one jump for the small being to prevent the hit done with all the force.

And it wasn't over yet.

From the back of the six-meter monster, small minions climbed down. Being on the dark side of the lighting, these four-years-old-kid size bodies were unnoticeable until now.

"Hehehe~~"

"Hehehe~~"

"Hehehe~~"

"Hehehe~~"

Their silhouette was revealed before the light, having the same kind of skin tone as the giant. Besides that, all other characteristics are very human… if you ignore its pointy fang that replaces a face.

Responsible for Eva's injury.

He might not be an expert dentist, but among the nine similar-looking minions, he knew they had different kinds of teeth. Some were incisors and canines, looking like sharp spatulas, while the premolar and molar, had the appearance of a hammer.

The teenager stood in front of his sister, in guard, as he observed that one minion that still has blood in its tooth. He discreetly looked down, Eva was injured… in the palm of her hand?

The concern of a mortal wound eased but did not disappear, giving way to confusion.

'Why is she so scared? It's not proper of her.'

"Get away… get away… Noo!" Eva continued screaming on her own. To avoid accidents or a backstab, Sebastian had to take the ax away from her. As he did that, a bigger and more acute scream came out.

"NOOOOO!!!"

Eva seemed not only be afraid of the monsters but of everything: the surroundings, the darkness, the light, and himself, her brother, for some reason.

"Get away!" Sebastian waved his ax again, making the minions retreat.

As he is protecting his sister who is holding her knees and hiding her face, he could only witness the minions slowly starting to surround him, like what hunters do to preys.

BANG!

BANG!!

BANG!!!

In the moment of despair, Joseph and his gun appeared from behind the crowd.

Instantly, one of the minions felt after the stunner gunfires.

Others were injured.

Sebastian also took advantage of the distraction created by the shooting to attempt to decapitate the nearest minion.

Thum!

Even with such a hit that could kill any other human, the blade just got stuck on the back of the minion's neck. The humanoid monster tried to resist with a force not proper to that small body, but Sebastian kicked its legs to knock it down, and with the other foot stepped over the butt of the ax head.

Clap!

Clap!!

Clap!!!

Crack!!!

The minion finally stopped resisting after the dozens of hammering with the heel. And his ax finally got covered by that black blood.

But things were not one-on-one.

Before he could take the ax off the now corpse, three angry minions jumped over him, grabbing his left leg, his right arm, and the one that he could visualize the best, his head.

It had a molar tooth instead of a normal face.

'What are they gonna do!?'

He instantly got a response.

The little monster without releasing his head, arched its own head back, exposing his entire chin and neck.

"No! NOO!!!" Sebastian immediately understood what the next step was.

Hastily, he interposed his free hand between the two heads.

THUMP!!! CRACK!!!

If the original wish was to stop the hit…

The left hand ended up completely shattered, fingers not able to even sustain its position. Red, stained, twisted, raw, bleeding…

He felt warm liquid between his nose and mouth, some bones there were broken by the inevitable impact.

Simultaneously, the flesh on his caught leg and arm started their own process… stabbed by the head-size teeth-knives!

"AAAGGGGGHHHHH!!! SHIT!!!"

The pain in every corner of his body and the losing of consciousness made him lose equilibrium and fall like decrepit.

But it was never an ending, even in the ground, the small monsters took their bloody weapons out of the new perforated red orifice, and again, hammered their heads into the meat.

Once.

Stab!

Twice.

Stab!

Thrice.

Stab!

How similar it was like seconds ago when he hammered the life out of that minion with his feet.

There was an unendurable pain.

A martyr suffering.

And with every penetration, an intense fear was awakened inside of him more and more.

"Da… dad…" He verbalized with the few teeth left on the deformed mouth.

Who knows since when, the shots were stopped from being heard.
