Chapter 13: Conclusion of Fight

A human and a monster. Standing just a few few between each other. One filled with bloodlust while one filled with pride. One was gifted with raw strength and reflex while the other was gifted with the ability to use magic. While the monster had advantage in strength deparment, I also had advantage over him in intellect department. By all account we were really different, yet in this short time between life and death we've bond over our desire to win.

As if reading my intent, the Gargantuan Chimera, synchronize his movement with mine. Lowering the body, bending the knee, gauging distance, then followed by explosive jump forward.

This time instead of trying to eat me using one of his may heads, the Gargantuan Chimera swing his claw diagonally to my direction. Even so, I'm not retreating nor I try to evade, remember Trevor! The first spell you utter in this world, the spell that made Astarte impressed with your potential.

"Praise thy name those who bring conflict among the heretic

Shielded by thy blessing from these frevolous world

May the touch of brobdingnagian filth never reached your throne."

I did a modification from the spell I remembered back then and I sure hope it would work as I think.

Just before his massive claw could hit me, a curved ethereal shield that shroud me was manifested. Good at least not only offense, I also had a mean of defense.

"Ugh! Are you kidding me! How could any creature be that strong!!!" I was flung out a few yards away from defending his attack. "Still I should be grateful at least those claw did not turned me into mince meat."

"A Magic! As expected of the Fellendules family fighter, even with one hand he still fight on even ground with the Gargantuan Chimera!!!" The commentator was shouting at the sight of my shield. It's only a moment but I took a glance at some people that bet on my favor. Even the audience never saw this fight as hopeless.

The Gargantuan Chimera looked dumbfounded, Astarte used to say that my ability to used magic was a sign of talent if so I could inferred that magic user was extremely rare in this world, must be a first for that monster to saw someone still standing after taking his best attack.

The ethereal shield dissapeared upon impact, even so I could just called it again. After adjusting my balance, I finally stood up once again.

This time the Gargantuan Chimera did not repeat his signature rush attack. Instead he tried circling me, analyzing me from every angle. So I did the same by circling him on opposite direction while recovering the cutlass I had thrown. We've both observed the gesture, posture, physique, and surprisingly the one who came to the solution of this stalemate was the Gargantuan Chimera.

This time instead of rushing like usual, he was walking slowly to my direction. Claw tapling the ground in his step, making 'tap' 'tap sound. His vulture head was streched to the utmost left, while his rat head was streched to the utmost right, he must had realized while my shield was string it could only be manifested to one direction, the moment I blocked his claw, the two head besides him would attack me from other side.

As he continued his walk, I backed out, and before I knew it I was on the edge of the arena. The arena was basically a round slab of concrete that was put in the middle of deep lake. Falling down there could spell your doom as the lake was filled with many nymph.

Still this was ideal, in this moment of extremety, my brain was only filled with focus I've never experienced before. It's a gamble but let's do it. I threw away my cutlass to the raging lake, in just a few moment the hungry nymph devoured even the iron shard of the cutlass.

"OOOOOHHHHH What this!? The fighter Trevor had thrown away his only weapon !!! Does that mean he had given up the hope of winning!???!"

The God of this world if you can hear my mind then I ask of your favor for this move could turn the table around. I took a deep breath and with that I ran to left hind of the chimera.

The lion and the rat both had a whisker that could detect my movement before I could approached them, but how about you vulture head?! Vulture only had great smell and vision but in movement detection they are no better than human.

Seeing my movement the vulture head tried to bite me but just for a moment I took a jump to the right, in front of me was the lion head with the main body.

In a second before I fell I chant the shield spell once again, conjuring the shield beneath my body, the force of my fall and the shape of the shield launched me straight between his leg, right below the main body of the Gargantuan Chimera.

Finally I chant the second spell.

"The almighty that descened upon conflict

Mighty be your arm for nothing can endure your faithful edge

Let it be known that your might know no bound"

I must be grateful for all the teacher that teach me poetry, the chant that God given me basically boiled to three paragraph. The first paragraph was a praise upon the God, the second was the type of magic I used, and finally the third was describing the property of the magic.

If I was right then this magic would...

"U-UNNNBELiaavebale!!! Folks do you see all that!!! Right under his belly , while sliding with the shield. fighter Trevor Herscher manifested a 39 feet blade!!!"

H-heavy. Should have known longer object would mean it had more mass than usual. Even so I finally pierced it, my blade completely punctured his torso.

"And what's more, Fighter Trevor he tried moving the blade!!! Did he want to slice the Gargantuan Chimera in half!!?" If I could do that then I would, but with his high density bone and this brittle blade, apparently it's not possible, instead I could...

Right under the neck, between the ribcage, and past the muscle, I moved my blade around until I could felt the sensation of soft thing being sliced up. Yes I hit the jackpot, the lion was screaming in pain as I moved my blade around.

After I deemed it sufficient. While the Gargantuan Chimera blinded by pain, I retreat as far away as I could to the edge of the arena.

The lion body pierced with blade higher than him which was stuck on his torso, although he moved slower than before, his movement was still too hard for human eye to keep tracked of. This time instead of going forward, he went at me while jumping from one side to another, forming a zig zag pattern, if he used this move right from the beginning I might had lose but now it's too late.

Time for me to chant my final magic for this monster requiem.

"The one who observed all creation

Removed from the forbidden realm

Tremble in your presence both God

and creation alike"

That's right this was my final magic against him, a magic that delete all my previous magic.

As he manouvered around, the sword that lodged against his torso dissapear, a sea of blood was pouring out, the Gargantuan Chimera scream of pain was so loud that some account said it could be heard across Burnland city.

It's over finally, you've fought well O' abominable monster, it took puncturing your lung and severe bleeding just to beat you.
