CH 18: Battle of the Abyssals

(Miria POV)

Miria strikes her sword at the abyssal one's thick skin. Looking at her other comrads doing the same troubles her. Their swords are not even pieceing the dame beast. Rain started to fall from the sky. Its does not help them for it give a sorrowful atmosphere. Like a day of a funeral. Miria wounders if its thier death to be, that makes the sky weep.
Miria glance over at Jean who was being pin down by Undine. Jean is in so much rage that Undine is struggling to hold her back. Miria would send over a couple comrads to help Undine, but she can't afford any warriors to stray from the true target.
As the remaining warriors fight, Miria trys to think of some way out. She remembers reading abut the mouth of the abyssal one to be a vanurable spot. Then Miria has an idea. A dangerous idea.

"Everyone!" She call out to her comrads "Deneve! Helen! Ophelia! you keep the beast busy on its left! Veronica! Flora! And Galatea on its right! Dietrich! You and the remaining warriors cover the captains"

"Right!"Answer Dietrich.

"What are you going to do Miria?" Ask Helen.

"Just trust me!" Answered Miria.

Without hesitation the warriors did what Miria order to do. They each took a roll to corner the Abyssal one. Miria mentally prepare herself for what she is about to do will not guarantee her safety nor her life.

(Undine POV)

"LET ME GO!!!" Demanded Jean, as she struggle against Undine's strength. Undine has her arms lock in a pin to prevent Jean from escaping from her.

"Never!!" Answered Undine in a growl.
"IF YOU DON'T I WILL KILL YOU!!!" threatened Jean.

"Go ahead and do it, the only way you will escape my grasp is when I am dead! You are no match for the Abyssal one! I will never let you go! I am not going to lose another friend again! Please Jean calm yourself " Said Undine.

Jean stopped struggleing against Undine.
"You are right I am nt match for the Abyssal one" said Jean.

Undine let out a breath of relief, she is relieved that Jean might have come to her senses.

"The only way to kill him is power"

The moment those words escape Jean's mouth, she release her yoki aura. A light of red circle around Jean. Jean's eyes turn gold like the yoma, and her body shows sighs of manifestation.

"STOP THIS JEAN!!!" Cry out Undine. In her mind she pleaded for anything to calm Jean's soul.

Jean elbow Undine in the gut hard enough to make her loss her grip and fall backward. Jean eye the Abyssal one and targets him, the same time as Miria.

(Miria POV)

She was ready to strike. Strike deep within the Abyssal one's mouth. Her comrads pin the Abyssal one into a corner that no beast could get out. When she sees an opening, with force she jumps toward the mouth of the beast.

Miria suddenly felt the yoki aura of Jean. In the corner of her eye she sees Jean in rage. She targets the same thing. Miria had no time to react, both warriors collided with each other and hit the ground.

"Jean!!!!" Yell Miria in anger.

"Watch out!!!" Yell Flora.

Miria turns her head and sees its jaws shadowing her and Jean. She felts her heart stop as if time was in slow motion. She could feel every cell in her body that screams to escape. But there was no escape, she is about to die.

Then suddenly the mouth of the abyssal one moves and the beast hit a bulding hard. Dust form around them from the impact. Miria heart return to a normal beat. She did not know what just happened. It all happened in a split second.
In the cloud of dust, Miria sees a figure in front of her. The figure was of a person, but something extended a great distant from it. When the dust clears, the large fugue turn out to be white wings attach to a person. Miria was shock, she recognize these wings and the person. But the one who has wings is not Teresa, but someone who she think she lost. It was Clare.
