I look up at the dark, grey clouds beginning to form in the sky. There wasn't a single person in sight as they all were at the center, safe with their families.
Those people...oh how I envied them, but at the same time, I was quite glad I wasn't them.
I make my way over to the beach. A gentle yet strong breeze blowing all around me.
The waves became heavier, crashing against the shore and getting my feet wet.The creature finally appeared, floating above the water as long electrical arms protruded from its body.
The waves were wild and deadly, crashing against the shore with a powerful force, and it only got worse as this monster made its way closer to the city.The sky was extremely dark, there wasn't a hint of blue in the sky. The only light I had was the light from the city and the hundreds of lighting bolts that shattered the sky. And to make matters worse, it was downpouring as well.
Valenstia began floating about. Using its arms to cause tornadoes that only moved a few feet. These tornadoes were small, but deadly, causing massive damage wherever they hit. The creature was also breathing fire everywhere, as if it were a flamethrower.
It didn't make much sense how there was fire, considering it was raining extremely hard, but, my main goal here is to destroy this thing, not ponder about how it defies logic.
The creature was extremely strong as well, picking up two buildings with it's mind and colliding them into each other.
There's not much time left, I have to win this.
I transform and freeze time, taking out a million rocket launchers, gatling guns, bombs, and more, and gathering larger weapons and vehicles from the closest military.
"Alright then," I say, taking a deep breath in and out. "This is where I end you."
The heavy rain, gun fire, and explosions made it hard to see, but I was still determined.
The fight went on for an hour, not counting when I froze time. I kept pushing the creature back, away from the Safe Center.
The monster was resilient, it would take more than a million hits just to weaken this monster, but from the looks of it, I seemed to be doing damage to it.
Alright...this attack should cause a ton of damage to it.
I start up five heavy oil trucks all placed on the bridge, leading up to a ramp that would send them flying towards Valenstia. I stand on top of one, holding on tightly to the edge as it made its way towards the ramp.
As it became airborne, flying towards Valenstia, I backflipped off the truck and landed in the ocean, only to be brought back up by a giant ship, triggering smaller ships to show up to the left and right of me.
These ships contained large, powerful harpoons and canons, which were all aimed at the monster.
After the oil trucks crashed and exploded in its face, the ships, including mine, all shot harpoons and cannonballs at the Valenstia, causing it to be blown back and slamming it into a bunch of empty buildings that were far away.It struggled to get up, but when it did it flailed it's arms around, destroying everything.
C'mon, work.
I made sure the creature would land in the spot. Reason is because I placed a bunch of powerful bombs in the area, and knowing the destructive personality of this tristitia, I knew for sure that it would trigger the explosives to go off.
And it did.
A huge explosion went off, looking like an atomic bomb had just gone off.
I stared at the crumbled buildings, waiting for Valenstia to get back up. But it never happened.
I know for a fact this creature isn't dead, there's no way. It's definitely planning a sneak attack.
I look around my area, searching for where an attack would happen, until I see Valenstia emerge from the rubble and slice the air with its arms, causing a violent gust of wind to push me back, in the direction of the Safe Center.
The attack did a lot of damage to me. There was a huge gash on my side as well as a few deep cuts and bruises on my arms and legs.
I struggled to stand up, but when I did, I pulled out a few rocket launchers and aimed them at the tristitia. After that, I used all my strength and energy to run closer to the monster, and threw a bunch of pipe bombs at it.
Once again, the creature knocked me back, causing more cuts and bruises to form on my body. The explosion caused Valenstia to be pushed back as well.
It was harder to stand up this time, I felt like every single bone in my body had shattered into a million pieces, and I felt like passing out a couple of times.
I already used up all the luctus threciuses I had, and I had to store my energy so my gem wouldn't darken, meaning I couldn't heal myself.
This tristitias has a ton of perseverance, but so do I. Cause even though I felt like I was at Death's door, I wasn't giving up, I will defeat this monster no matter the cause.
