Chapter 15: War of Thorns Part 13
As he unleashed his roar, Lance could see the already pain stricken Titan, crumble from the shock of his voice.
The Titan fell to the ground with a thundering thump, while Lance on the other hand jumped on his back, like a hunter standing atop its prey.
“It’s true what they say, the bigger they are the harder they fall!” As Lance said this, he left the Titans body behind, heading to where the Count was at.
“Hey Count, I don’t think we need any contingency plan, so you can stop doing what you are doing.” Lance said, with a little bit of surprise as he stared at the Count.
“I thought I told you to last an hour!” The Count snapped at Lance, as his body was completely immobile and floating inside a small magical circle, from which dark spheres of pure energy kept swirling around.
“But I already defeated him.” Lance said while pointing at the massive rubble of soil and stone which represented the Titan’s body.
“He is a god that draws power from the earth, as long as he is in direct contact with the ground, he cannot be defeated.” The Count said.
“Last 30 more minutes.” The Count urged Lance, as he closed his mouth and eyes, and the dark spheres proliferated all over his body.
“You say that, but it’s not like he is going to wake up anytime soon, right?” Lance said, as he headed back slowly towards the Titan.
But Lance had underestimated the Titan, who had already recovered and was using the land itself to power-up. All of a sudden a cage made of earth appeared around Lance, as he got close to the Titan.
“What is this? When did you recover, you bastard!?” Lance asked as he tried to break out of the earth cage.
“I understand now, you are protecting this land from me.” The Titan said, as he got up on his feet.
“Hah! So what if I am?” Lance said while still trying to get out.
“Then all the more reason for me to destroy it!” The Titan said, as the earth started shaking, and the sky parted, revealing a massive stone boulder thundering towards the ground.
“Meteor Cataclysm!” The Titan stated.
“Nooooo!” Driven by the thought of protecting the land, Lance managed to escape from his cage.
Having escaped, he dodged the Titans attempt to squash and climbed up his body with unbelievable speed. Running from one shoulder to the other, he finally jumped off him and straight up towards the boulder.
On it, he ran around its circumference once before jumping off, seconds before it was about to hit the land.
Seeing Lance fall to the ground in a freefall, the Titan closed in an attempt to crush him with both hands, but before he could reach him, the Titans hands grinded to a halt and then began going back.
Shocked and confused, it was at that moment that thin threads of hair could be seen connecting the Titans body and the falling boulder.
“You bastard!” Those were the Titans last words as his body collided with the boulders before hitting the ground.
“Damn, that was close…” Even though he managed to stop a catastrophic impact, and avoided being squashed by the Titan, he still fell prey to the Titans attack, as he was hit with a fist of stone and soil from the ground that threw him high into the sky.
“GUAAAAAAA!”
While Lance was out of action, the Titan began once again to recover and ravage the land, but something ominous in the general direction of where the Count was at, drew the Titans attention.
“Cursed blood, whatever you are doing is going to be stopped.” The Titan said as he moved as fast as he could.
“Lance, stop him! What I am doing now will mean the Titans end if completed, it will be check mate!” The Count could only scream in his mind as his body was enveloped by the dark spheres.
“You shall be stopped!” The Titan said, as he stretched his hand towards the vulnerable Count.
Fortunately for the Count, Lance dropped down from the sky, just on time for him to stop the Titan.
“Did somebody call me?” Lance asked, as he his overgrown hair fluttered in between the two sides of the Titan that were sliced off.
“How?” The Titan said in utter shock.
As Lance fell from the sky he used both Fenrir Aurora and Fenrir Spike, transforming himself into a razor sharp blade, that cut the Titan in half.
“No matter what, the Count is off limits!” Lance said.
“Five more minutes, hold on for five more minutes!” The Count was obviously anxious to help Lance and escape his vulnerability, but more than anything he wanted to end the Titans life.
“Ugh…shit! My wounds didn’t heal completely. I knew I should have eaten more!” Lance said, as blood started flowing from his head.
“Lance, why are you not using Morgana or Mephisto ranked abilities, why only Fenrir?” The Count having finally regained his ability to speak, asked Lance who was confused by the question.
“I never knew such things existed!” Lance said with surprise.
“No matter, now is not the time to teach you. Here he comes again, hold him 2 more minutes.” The Count said as the spheres that were all over his body started taking the shape of a weapon.
The Titan once again awakens and looked annoyed at Lance.
“ Very well, I will give you the honor to fight with my real body!” The Titan said with both halves of his faces moving in the same manner.
The Titans huge body started to collapse, and out of the rubble a smaller version of the Titan appeared. Unlike the larger version, Lance could feel the true magnitude of power befitting a being considered to be a god.
“Lance! Watch out!” The Count yelled to Lance, sensing the danger.
“I know.” Lance said, while waiting for anything to happen now.
“Here I come, cursed blood.” The Titan said.
What does the Titan have in store for Lance, stay tuned for the next chapter.
