Chapter 22

"Sohee, run with the monks and take the residents with you, now!!" Olivia ordered as Moonlight Flower slowly approaching.

"Oh, you're going to fight me? I think a high priest couldn't fight other than demons and undead?" Moonlight flower mocked Olivia who pulled her hardcover book. "Well,maybe. But, I won't give up without a fight." The high priest replied with a trembled voice. "Cenia, how long do you think it will takes for me to kill her?" The bell wielding monster asked the swordswoman joyfully. But instead of giving any answer, she gave Moonlight a stare. "You're boring as usual. No fun at all!" Moonlight sounds bored. The situation angered Olivia, who thought that the two didn't even care about her.

"Hey, don't joke with me!!" She shouted as she dashed towards the two. But, she stopped she felt something cold inside her stomach as blood starts watering from her torso. It was Moonlight's scythe thrust right on her belly. "Ah..ah...akh." She muttered as Moonlight pulled off her scythe. "Well, we didn't take you as a joke. We simply take you as..nothing, nothing at all." Moonlight stated as Olivia fell to the ground.

"Olivia!!" Sohee ran for her unconscious friend. Bloods flowing from Olivia's stomach as Sohee approached and grab her body. "Olivia, wake up! Olivia!" The former pet monster cried for the priests. "Oh, how touching! To think a monster could cry for mortals!" Moonlight gave another mock. Sohee looked at Moonlight and then begged, "Please! Please don't kill her! Take me if you want, but please don't kill her!"

"OK, you don't want me to kill her? Now pick one." Moonlight replied with an evil grin. "Pick...what?" Sohee confused. "Can you see those chicken monks hiding behind the trees? Now choose, you come with me then I kill the monks or I kill the monks then you come with me." Moonlight Flower replied as Sohee widened her eyes.

"Triple Attack!" George gave his punches to return Eddga's claws. Eddga step backwards and threw another claws as George defended himself using his knuckles. The tiger monster shot his fire balls as George rush backwards and jumped to avoid the balls. As he landed to the ground he threw his Finger Offensives but Eddga blocked the spirits, again with the fire balls. George wasted not time as he quickly dashed towards Eddga and gave Eddga an uppercut, knocking him down.

"Guh, not bad! You used the spirits as a cover for your next attack!"

"Well, you shouldn't let your attention caught by something else in a fight, right?"

"Heh, you can talk!"

Eddga regained his feet and prepared to resume the fight. George moved slowly towards the tiger monster, and again threw his finger offensive. Eddga uses Endure to defend himself as he gave George another slash. George dodged and threw another uppercut. Eddga catch George's hand and slammed him to the ground. "Ukh", George muttered as he landed on the bridge. Eddga wasted no chance, he didn't let George's hand go as he continuously slam George again and again, using the concrete bridge to his advantage. "Akh, ah. DAMN!!" George grunted as his body hit the bridge again. Eddga threw him to the air, while preparing to finish George with his claw.

"Come here!! Have the taste of my claws!!"

"I will be cut in half if I don't do something!!" George rolled his body and readied himself to return the claws as he quickly summon another spirits in the air.

"Oh, you wanna play mortals? Fine!"

"Take this, tiger!! Finger Offensive!!"

Eddga dodged the spirits as George landed to the ground. The two didn't wait for their enemies to start the party. George chanted his 'Fury' as Eddga chanted another 'Endure'. Eddga rushed towards George only to be introduced to George's 'Raging Palm Strike'. The attack hit him repeatedly, not even the Endure manage to give him proper protections. "Guk, keh!" Eddga muttered as George rampantly attacked him. Eddga slowly bleeds his head as the non-stop attack continued. George didn't let Eddga have any openings, when he's done with his palms, he used his "Hyper Spirit Sphere' to give Eddga another finger Offensive. "Gah!", Eddga stepped several steps backwards as the spirits hit him. Triple Attack comes after that. "Uh!", before Eddga could react George rampantly stroke him with Quadruple Attack. But, before George finishes Eddga by using his Raging thrust, the battered monster threw something at George. It was 5 Molotov bombs which eddga created quickly using his Demonstration technique. The surprised George didn't manage to dodge it.

GLAAAAAR!!!

The bombs explosion sound pierced the entire woods as they destroyed half of the bridge into pieces. After the smokes are cleared, Eddga appeared from the smoke bars.

"Now, I wonder if that punk died!" Eddga muttered to himself as he looked down to the destroyed bridge. He didn't find any dead bodies flowing in the river or some fleshes of human meats, although he noticed some bloods in several points on the bridge.

"Heh, he died alright." The monster thought to himself when suddenly, the spot where he stood destroyed and a strike sent him flying to the air "Ukh!" Eddga muttered as he fell to the bridge, nearly falling to the river. The attack came from George, who jumped to the river when the bombs exploded and hid himself under the bridge to attack Eddga.

"How?!" Eddga asked in disbelieve as he stood up. "Why should I tell you?!" George replied with as he rushed towards Eddga, but he was quickly knocked back by Eddga's claws, wounding him in his right hands which he used to block the claws. "Heh, you forced yourself too much punk" Eddga thought to himself as he noticed George neck and legs bleeding.

"So, the explosion hurt him after all." The monster prepared himself with another fire balls. Bu this time, instead of throwing it to George, Eddga burned his own claws with the balls.

"What are you doing, tiger? Killing yourself ?!" The champion wondered.

"Keep joking!! It's been long enough since the last time I used this! Now you will witness, FIRE CLAW!!" Eddga roared as he pulled his now burning claws

"OK, that's not good!" George thought to himself as suddenly, Eddga appeared right in front of him and slashes him with the burning claws. "Aaaakh!" George screamed as blood splattered from his torso. And not only that, the attack got him some burning wounds too. Eddga didn't waste this chance as he rampantly slashes George in the back. "Akh...akh!" George felt like his back is burned and cut at the same time.

"Take this!!" Eddga finalizes by giving George one last slash to his body. "Aaarrghg!" George screamed as he fell down in the river. Eddga looked with smile as George drown. "Serves you right, mortals!!"

Eddga turned back and headed towards Payon , but suddenly...

" Hey, you shouldn't let your attention caught by something else in a fight!" Eddga surprised as he turned back and find George has already appeared in front of him him. "What? How?" But the only answer he got is another 'Raging Palm Strike'. "Gyaaaaaakh!!" Eddga screamed as the merciless attack strikes him continuously again. The attack send him several steps backwards, closing him to the river.

"Now take this, Finger Offensive!" George continued as he threw another spirits towards the battered Eddga. "Triple Attack!" He shouted as he hit Eddga's face three times. "Quadruple Attack!" The champion rampantly stroke the already battered face of the tiger monster. The attacks were so fast, Eddga didn't even manage to scream for his wound. He is already losing his consciousness.

George didn't waste another time as he dashed towards the half conscious monster, and gave him the finishers. "Tiger Knuckle Fist!!" George shouted as he stroke Eddga with one last blow.

"DUAAAGH!!"

"Huaaaaaaaakhkh!" The final strike sounded hard enough not only to tremble the river, but also letting Eddga screamed one last time for his death. He fell into the river and drown, as George looked at him.

"Phew, I almost died down there. Had I not cast the heal before the last claw attacks, I'm done with this cruel life." The champion muttered as he started healing his wounds.

But he noticed a swordswoman slowly approaching him from the other side of the bridge. "Huh, what is that girl doing?" George said as the girl slowly pulled her Scweizeschabel from its scabbard. "Hey, what the?" George stood up when lightning start appearing in the girl's swords. She ran towards George and jumped right before she stepped on the destroyed point of the bridge.

"Is she an enemy?" George prepared to defend himself, but before he noticed, he was struck by lightning as the girl slashed him right in his right shoulder. "Aaaaahhhhh!!" The champion screamed as he slowly fell. Egnigem Cenia sheathed her Scweizeschabel back, and checked the champion's state.

"Mission accomplished" She said with a cold face.
