Corruption: Part 4

"John, hurry up! We can't do this for much longer!" Jyn yelled, blocking Kerrin's tail.

I nodded my head and began punching Kerrin repeatedly. Each punch showed more of his body until finally, he was halfway out. I grabbed onto his arms and began to pull with all my might. Even with all the strength I put in he wasn't budging.

"Look out!" Erika yelled.

I looked towards where she was yelling to see Kerrin's tail coming right at me. I raised my arms to block his attack and got smacked away. This time I was prepared to get hit away so I unsheathed Genki and used him to blast me right back. I landed a punch right where Kerrin was causing a bigger explosion than all my other ones. I didn't let up my attack and threw out another punch, this one not having as strength as the last one but still being powerful.

From the looks of it I only needed a couple of more punches to get Kerrin out of there. I lifted my arm for the punches but was interrupted when I saw Kerrin's dragon head looking at me. Its mouth was open and I could see a faint light glowing from it.

"Now might be a good time to fire a beam, John." Genki suggested.

"I think so too." I said aiming Genki at Kerrin's mouth.

I jumped back so I could gain some distance and fired a beam. Kerrin did as well and clashed with mine. Despite all the damage I did to him he was still extremely strong. I could feel myself losing ground as our clash continued. Kerrin took a step towards me causing me to lose even more ground but before he could take another, Jyn slashed him across both eyes with one slice.

"Let's put some more power into this, Genki!" I yelled.

Even though he didn't say anything, I knew he was thinking the same thing. Our beam grew larger than the one Kerrin made and pushed his almost all the way back. Kerrin continued to hold his ground but I could tell he was struggling. Even with us putting one hundred percent in our attack it still wasn't enough to beat him.

Veronica suddenly appeared above Kerrin and smashed her hammer into the top of his head causing his mouth to close. My beam was the only thing left and directly hit Kerrin. I didn't expect it to hurt him all too much though.

When the beam ended and the smoke subsided it revealed that Kerrin actually ended up getting hurt by my beam. I used Genki to bring myself back to where Kerrin's real body was.

I could see Jyn block his tail again while Erika protected Ren while he was weak. Veronica was still distracted Kerrin's face. I couldn't help but smile at all the help I was receiving.

"I'll end it with a final strike!" I yelled, recasting my explosive sphere I had.

I put everything I had left in my fist and swung. Causing one last final explosion, being stronger than all my other ones combined. But I didn't stop. I let go of Genki and kept punching at fast speeds. At last, Kerrin's body fell out of his dragon form and hit the ground. I stood there for a moment, my hands had smoke coming from them because of all the explosions. My arms shook as I held them out. I suddenly fell to my knees and began breathing heavily. A large shock suddenly went all throughout my body.

"Oh now the lightning spell ends." I said, groaning in pain before completely falling down.
