Mage of the Abyss: Siola Mithra

Chapter 22 - Avarice

It's like a storm approaching. The beating sound of the music in my head brings a sense of unfathomable hype as a new figure appears in my line of sight. Long serrated tail sways, revealing the shadow of the humanoid creature. Large and long feathers attached to its draconic helmet. Not a single skin is exposed to the air as the entirety of its body is covered in hard armor.

'Dragon?'

The entity holds a large spear with immense thunder energy. Clashing its surroundings without it even doing anything. I witness that entity walks toward the monster I fought and raised its spear toward the helpless thing.

*Gwooooooh*

*Clack *Clack *BOOOOOOOOOM

My eyes peeled as the shockwave of dust blew me away, but I resisted.

'Wh-What the hell is that thing doing here?'

{Avarice, Alpha and the Omega | Lv. ???}

'Second stage Transcendental rank monster. Its level must be in the thousands,' a sudden realization, 'Wait, that's the monster from the West Gate. What the hell is it doing here?'

Then I see it approaching me. Unconsciously, I took a step back as my heart beats.

'Galliano.'

'You idiot! That thing must be the one he was talking about. And she just kills her own guy without hesitation, and not to mention, the one she's looking for already went through the portal. Wait, then why is she coming at me? Shouldn't she be going after him?!'

Readying my axe as she approaches closer and closer, sweat dripped on the side of my cheek. My legs started to tremble, but then suddenly, my heart dropped as the second I blink my eyes, a short and gentle shockwave blew at me. She's already in front of me. Her shining blue eyes scattered like a broken moon, I thought they were beautiful.

*SLASH*

*Thud *Tink *Tink

"Huh?"

My eyes widened as I felt an instant surging pain coming from one of my arms. I glanced down to see my hand still grabbing onto my axe, but my whole arm is on the ground. I see blood spills.

"Haaaaaaaaaaagh!"

It's no longer there. My arm has been separated from my body.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

Pain. It hurts. I can't even think of how much.

She grabs my head, pulling my hair to lift my face to see hers. But then she tilts her head down and pulls her thundering spear.

*STAB*

My eyes widened once more as I feel a surging pain coming from my stomach. I can feel a gaping hole in the center of my belly.

The spear's blade. I didn't know it was this big, I have to remove it I thought, but it kept getting deeper and deeper. It might have even gone through; I couldn't even tell. But then I caught a glance at the wielder. With the spear, she lifts me up high.

*Clack *Clack

Wait, "Huh?"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
