Pain

After that episode.

"Ahh".

I gasped in agony, and my grasp loosened abruptly. No, not just now. But that jerk took advantage of the situation and tossed me away in a flash. I slipped and fell on the sand. I raised my sword and stared at it. With a kinky smirk, the 9-foot behemoth is approaching me. That's exactly what I dreamed about.

Is it possible that I'll lose this war? I drew a deep breath and looked down. I rose, clutching my chest and wielding my sword once again. "Do you still think you can defeat me, maxi?" he asked.

I urged, "You'd best be ready to detach your head from your body." As I already stated, I drew out my machete sword and flung it at his spear-wielding hand.

He yelled in anguish as his hand detached from the body, and in a split second, another hand emerged from the same spot. I didn't waste any time and dashed over to it. But with his other hand, he flung me. I whacked myself in the head with a stone. Damn it!

The horse kicked my sword as I tried to grab it. I could now hear the horse's breathing. I couldn't believe how close it was to me. The black smoke began to encircle me gradually. I put my hand over my nose to keep the smoke out. My chest ache was gradually becoming worse. I cautiously rose, but I couldn't see anything because of the thick black smoke. I took out my blade and looked around.

"Maxi".

I could hear his hoarse voice throughout the place. But then I saw my sword. It shone brightly enough that I could see it through the smoke. I went towards it as soon as I had the chance, but something like a rope seized my leg. The monster then spoke up.

"It will not be easy."

In a split second, he drew me to him.

"Ahhh."

I tried but failed to keep myself stuck. The 9-foot Nuckelavee grabbed me and stated, "I told you- you were destined to be like us. You must obey our lord. But you need to be punished because you're such a badass. "

He slammed me to the ground as he said. Damn it! I shut my eyes. I had a tingly feeling in my brain. Slowly, everything got murky and gloomy. After a time, I felt like I was dragging from there. I gradually opened my eyes and saw the monster's back.
