Chapter 44 : Two fights

It's a difficult fight. Even more so because the two adversaries cannot find a way to deal a real blow to the other. Ngan-Medza is extremely massive which makes it difficult to approach and Ama is extremely mobile which makes her difficult to reach.

Ama, who assesses the situation, wonders if it is necessary to attack the legs of the Ngan-medza to reduce its mobility, but this monstrosity has barely moved since the start of the fight. Ama is the only one running around and all her efforts bear almost no fruit. She considers a change in opponent and concludes that Bindzi's limited mobility is not suited to this type of combat. She also considers the possibility of a group fight but quickly rejects the idea. A group fight is the worst scenario imaginable. In that situation everything becomes completely unpredictable. Essissima Mvé and Ngan-Medza, who have several millennia of experience, have an overwhelming advantage over children like Ama and Bindzi. The only thing that still balances this confrontation is the overwhelming strength of the two young people and the lack of collaboration between Essissima Mvé and his beast.

''You are really annoying little woman.'' Said the Ngan-Medza with one of his heads. ''Let me hold you in my jaws.'' Adds another head. ''And I will free you from the burden of life.'' Comments another head.

''Your attention really touches me but, I already have someone in my life.'' Said Ama refusing any contact with this beast.

''You will soon be reunited in the other world.'' Said the Ngan-medza.

''Never make...'' Said Ama.

Ama gets into a fighting stance and teleports above the Ngan-medza then launches a blow with the intention of cutting off the middle head. The one capable of spitting the breath of darkness.

The Ngan-medza easily dodges the blow by moving its head, but it has several others and forgets to protect them.

''A promise...'' Adds Ama.

Ama, still above the Ngan-medza, extends the reach of his blade by straightening the curved part of the scythe. She just saw Bindzi doing something similar and imitated his gesture. As result, the head that was emitting watery breath had just been detached from its neck.

''That you can't hold on to a woman.'' Ama concludes.

Ama finishes her sentence by landing behind the Ngan-medza who, surprised by the increase in the range of Ama's weapon, did not react in time.

She has just dealt him a significant blow for the first time.

Wanting to take advantage of this opportunity, she releases her celestial wings. Unlike the usual stone wings, these new wings are made of energy. The same golden energy radiating around her.

With a stroke of her wings, she propels herself towards the Ngan-medza, it throws a few earth spikes which she easily avoids. Subsequently, the beast launches a breath of fire which Ama blocks with her large wings.

Undaunted, the Ngan-medza attacks with his three remaining snake heads. Ama climbs above it towards the dragon heads. The Ngan-medza understanding that the attack is not effective, the beast tries to hit Ama with its head which throws earth spikes. Ama who does not forgive any mistake also cuts this one without an ounce of hesitation. Ama's sense of combat and mobility allow her to maintain an advantage even if it is not overwhelming.

The Ngan-medza who included this sacrifice in its strategy is fighting back. It hits three successive headbutts with his three remaining dragon heads and sends Ama flying several meters away. Ama crashes to the ground, which gives way and forms a crater. She spreads her wings with which she protected herself, sweeping away the dust in the process. Despite her strengthened body, she vomits blood and appears to be in pain.
