Unknown Experiments

Chapter 19

This one is a bit shorter than the previous chapter, but I was finding it a bit difficult to write so much action for so long

We are in the final chapters now, so expect to see anywhere up to five total chapters to finish the story off

Cataclysmic Typhoon screeched as it reared into the air, charging up another blast of electricity. It had already created more than enough to kill anyone within its vicinity, but Lucia was unharmed. Her horns were glowing a bright blue with the electricity she had absorbed, though she had to continuously utilize it in as many ways as she could to keep absorbing more and more.

Lucia phased through an arc to Cataclysmic Typhoon's side and jumped up onto its leg, but it immediately tried to shake her off. She formed a spike in her left hand and tried to slam it into the leviathan's leg to stay on, but shattered on impact. She was quickly thrown off and plummeted to the ground, crashing onto the glass with a grunt. A massive foot began to fall the moment she looked up, but rolled out of the way just in time.

Lucia jumped to her feet before she fired another arc onto the back of the beast and phased through. She fell onto the first sac and sliced it open with an ice dagger. Cataclysmic Typhoon shrieked and reared back and bucked Lucia off, but she held onto its tail and froze her hands to it. Almost immediately, the tail flicked high into the air and smashed back into the ground. The ice shattered just before she was thrown into the wall.

Lucia fell back onto the glass with a pained grunt. She got up onto her elbows and looked up the moment the leviathan began to charge up for another surge. She gasped before bolting to the side, then phased her way through the arena to expel enough electricity. The following surge overwhelmed her, but she was able to absorb most of it. The rest of the electricity struck the plasma shields and disappeared.

"Ngh, this is tougher than I originally thought. I can hardly keep up with it even with using the stored electricity. It's not going to be enough to beat this thing! Come on, think! An enemy with one weakness with lightning fast reflexes – there has to be something else there I can use against it!"

Lucia heard a slight crackle of electricity from all around her and froze for a brief moment. She stared at the leviathan, watching its head snap in her direction, before it began to charge forward. There was an immediate, steady pulsing that indicated another surge building up. As the pulsing began, she noticed the way it reared back slightly as it began to move, then spotted how unprotected the stomach was. She fired another arc of electricity and phased directly underneath Cataclysmic Typhoon and launched herself into the air. She slammed into its stomach before she began to try and lift it into the air.

Lucia fired two heavy streams of fire from her feet as she pushed against the leviathan's stomach. She was able to lift it temporarily, but it reared up on its own and swatted her out of the air, and she tumbled onto the glass below. Despite the hit, she quickly regained her footing and swung upright. The moment she was up, she phased to the leviathan's side.

Cataclysmic Typhoon swung out with its leg to try and hit, but completely missed as Lucia phased just out of reach. She punched the air twice, launching two fireballs at the leviathan's sacs on its spine before phasing back out of the way, then up over its tail. She launched a pair of vines all the way to the tentacles on the back of its head and pulled herself up. She felt the leviathan start to pull on the vines and dropped back down onto its back, but failed to reach a sac before it released another surge of electricity.

Lucia fell onto the leviathan's back, stunned from the overload, and was quickly knocked off. She fell onto the glass again, and it was only then that Belos seemed pleased enough to commentate. As she rolled out from underneath a descending foot, she heard his voice echo across the arena. She phased across the arena again to give herself some space from the leviathan as she listened in to what he was saying.
