I Started With An SSS-Rank, And Two SS-RANK Talents

Boss Fight (Part II)

Gripping the sword hilt tightly, Yunxi charged forward. The Alpha Wolf also pounced forward.
    
   Yunxi blocked its claws with her sword. The Alpha's strength was terrifying. She had to use both hands to hold her sword.

    From her peripheral vision, she saw another wolf coming behind her. She gathered all her strength and pushed the Alpha away, and turned around, with the sword in hand, and struck the wolf .

    Seeing that the wolf was still alive, Yunxi stabbed its head repeatedly. Her movement was so fast that her counterattack happened in a second.

   The wolf fell down heavily with a smashed head. Brain matter splashed here and there. And Yunxi couldn't escape it , because her body was covered in it.

   Seeing its member die gruesomely, the Alpha Wolf lost it.

   " GRRRRR!!!!!!!...." It growled angrily.

   Yunxi was on guard. Her appraisal didn't work on it. She didn't know how powerful her opponent was. Nor did she know its skills and how it was going to fight. The difference between them was like heaven and earth.

    Yunxi couldn't waste time. Right now, time is of the essence. And it was to her advantage to win the fight. She was fast, swift, and agile like an assassin. Well…She is an assassin.

    Her eyes were blazing red. She used stun on the nearest injured wolf , and killed it with one fatal slash. A cut around its neck.

   She didn't take a breather, and moved to the next wolf. Dealing a fatal blow, killing the wolf with a punch to the brain.

   As swift as vision, she put an end to the life of the injured wolves. One after the other, they died a brutal death.

   " Ahhh. …. You are next. " Yunxi said breathlessly as she stood opposite the wolf .

   " Awoooo….!!!!!"  The Alpha let out a painful cry , as all its comrades died. It had a crazy look on , and Yunxi felt…frightened.

   The Alpha Wolf's body was writhing with muscles. The fog moved together, and concentrated at the center. The same spot where the Alpha Wolf was standing. Then it suddenly came down, and flooded the entire forest. Everywhere became foggy and it was hard to see.

   " This…. It's poisonous. Is this the boss's skill? "  Yunxi covered her nose , so she wouldn't inhale the fog.

   ' Xia ?! '  Xia was vulnerable, and couldn't protect herself. The fog had already spread.  Yunxi was mostly affected because she was near the Alpha Wolf , when it activated its skills.

   Yunxi became worried, and traces of discomfort were on her face. She couldn't see well, and the poison was doing its job. She was having difficulty breathing, and her vision was becoming hazy. Her legs had lost their feelings, and her body was becoming numb.

   ' Think, Yunxi! Think!! ' Yunxi struggled to keep her sanity. She was slowly losing it. She had been wary about the ominous fog from the beginning. Who would have thought….

    ' That's right!!! I have a Poison resistant talent. I just need to endure this, and my body would become immune to it later on. ' She convinced herself, as she lay on the ground haphazardly.

   She turned around and crawled through the fog. With Enhanced Vision, she was able to see hazily in the forest. She made her way to Xia , with difficulty. Her body was losing whatever remaining strength she had left, but she didn't worry about it. She was determined to get Xia to safety, whatever the cost.

    She reached the spot where Xia was , and saw…..

     Xia was safe in a silver barrier that had activated during her healing.

   " Hahahaha….!!!! Mom, Dad , Elder sister, I …" Yunxi had tears running down her face, as she laughed. She knew it! She was going to die here again.

   She lay down flat , her back to the ground and looked up . She could now see the clear blue sky.

    " Am I dying….? "

     " Why can I see through the fog…?"

    Her body had lost all feeling. She was no different from someone who is suffering from a stroke.

   " Come out. You won." She said with a smile.

   For a while now, she had seen the wolf watching her with deadly eyes, but didn't make a move.

    It was as if it understood Yunxi's words, because the next minute it had already pounced on her , digging its claws into her body.

   Yunxi just smiled. She couldn't feel anything. Her body was long numb. The wolf had a grin on its face, as it saw how Yunxi couldn't stop its attack. It removed its claws and was about to strike her again when it freezed. It was as if time had stopped.

   " I am Chu Yunxi, you bastard!!! I won't go down without a fight!" Yunxi had used her Mana to control her sword which was left on the ground far away. When the sword was close, she used  stun on the Alpha Wolf and struck it with her sword from behind which penetrated its heart.

     Her daggers appeared in her hands, and she used it to stab the Alpha Wolf repeatedly. The organs, blood and different wolf matter filled her body, her face especially.

   She pushed the Alpha Wolf away, after she had her fill. The Alpha Wolf was nothing but a mangled corpse. It was unidentifiable.

   The adrenaline rush she had slowly receded. And she couldn't keep fighting it. She succumbed, and her eyes closed.

  Southeast of the forest, screams of humans could be heard. Some screams sounded like they were in pain, while some sounded like they were scared of something.

   Slowly the sounds lessened, until it eventually dissipated.

   " We shouldn't have left her there! " Zhu Qian looked at the fogged forest.

  " You like her, don't you? " Cheng Qingxue asked.

  Zhu Qian looked like he was about to lose it, as his face became exceedingly red.

  " What nonsense are you spouting! She is my sister!" He  bellowed out angrily, his eyes had sparks of electricity in them.

  " Stepsister. " Cheng Qingxue corrected.

  " She is your stepsister. More of a reason why you can have a relationship with her. "  She placed a finger on his chest, with an angry face.

  " Are you serious, right now ?! She has a great talent. My dad's going to kill me."  Zhu Qian tried to reason with her, but with a calmer voice.

   " Are you  going to sacrifice your life for her ?"   Cheng Qingxue asked with a smile. Zhu Qian couldn't find the words to refute her statement. His answer was clear, he couldn't sacrifice his life.

  "  She can't stand and fight by your side in the future. And moreover, your Dad is not here. He wouldn't know what happened here. "  Cheng Qingxue added.

   " But….."  Zhu Qian was still not convinced.

   " If you are so adamant, then go. No one would stop you.  But I can assure you,  you wouldn't get past this barrier and you would be dead. "  Cheng Qingxue stepped away from him , and looked out of the barrier.

  Zhu Qian gulped down his saliva, as he saw the non- see through fog, and the voices of the other students getting killed by who knows what!

    He suddenly gave up any reason to go outside. He was scared. Very scared of death.

   ' You are mine! No one can stand beside you except me. I will make sure of that.'   Cheng Qingxue thought with an evil smile adorning her face.
