Defender of the Fifth Gate (2)

Swoooosh! The Titans leg immediately came towards me with some crazy speed that no one would've expected.

Barely managing to use my sword to block I felt the impact of his leg against my blade before feeling myself lift off of the ground.

"Shit! Shit!" I began to shout out loud without realizing it.

"Sevy!!!" Rika calls out with worry behind her voice.

Clang! The last thing I could hear was my sword hitting the ground as I began to soar through the air.

Tree after tree, till I finally managed to stop against one giant tree

~ Currently you have lost 5,000 out of 10,000 HP. Caution is advised.

I sat there against the tree realizing that somehow I was alive, even though I lost a significant amount of health from one damn hit. It's a damn titan which makes sense for the damage but what about the damage we did?

It barely felt like we did anything.

{ Status Effect Active: Left arm is completely shattered. Two ribs are broken. Health will drop by 1 every ten seconds. }

My regeneration isn't kicking in yet but maybe it can if I manage to stay out of combat long enough.

As that thought passed my mind I could see something flying at me with insane speed. Come on legs move, fucking move!

I could feel the pain all throughout my body and it made it feel impossible to move, yet I still have half my health left.

~Movement is advised.

Didn't think of that. Thanks for the suggestion.

I somehow managed to force myself up enough to dodge out of the way of the incoming object.

Hitting upon the ground I managed to see the object smashing against the tree and it was a giant boulder.

My sword is all the way up there by the titan and Rika, how the hell am I supposed to get that back?

I'm having a hard enough time moving now while it's still managing to keep me engaged in combat.

As I stood there I could feel my legs slowly starting to give out on me but I'm not able to stay on the ground. It's going to keep attacking till we're dead so I need to use my strength to keep up with the fight.

~All skills are active still, what will you do now Sevarian?

That's a good question since I don't even have a clue about what I should do yet. The. Enemy is a lot stronger and a lot bigger than most of the enemies that I have fought before.

I'll just give it all that I can.

~Not a terrible response at least.

Rika is up there fighting by herself and I'm back here so it's time I get up there.

Kicking off the ground I launched myself towards the titan with as much speed as I could. Wind following behind me as I flew through the air towards the enemy.

Best to just ignore the pain until the battle with this titan is over. I'll kill it and then I'll kill the Monarch.

That piece of shit is going to pay along with every single boss that stands in my way.

Thump. Thump. I could hear my heartbeat all of a sudden and I didn't know what to think about it.

"Sevy you're back!" Rika shouts out while attacking it's other leg.

I was still mid air as she noticed me, she's got some crazy strong power. Always good to remember that.

My other sword is on the ground but I still have my blade of Zendal so it'll have to do at this moment in time. Drawing the sword out from my inventory I immediately began to swing down with my good arm.

I'm handicapped as all hell right now and need to get a good attack off or else I'm going to die.

Breathe in, breathe out. Maybe just maybe I can do this.

Somehow I started to infuse my power into my sword as I was still mid swing until it hit against it's leg.

Slash!!! A shockwave went off as my blade connected with its leg and that's when I just barely realized that it cut clean through.

~Titan has been hit with critical damage! A negative status effect has been applied to enemy Titan.

I actually cut through it's leg with that attack, I'm not imagining the attack working?

After hitting it with my attack and taking it's leg off I had gotten knocked back a bit from the shockwave of the attack.

Barely catching myself I managed to stay on my feet but the pain was getting worse.

~Used quite a bit of power in that attack there Sevarian. I'd advise saving it and using it wisely.

You're not wrong but it's the best shot I have.

I'm not really capable of doing much more since it'd use power and mana to infuse a fireball. I need to be able to rely on my physical attacks as well so that I can conserve everything else.

~You're still losing health. 4,700 HP remaining.

I'm letting too much time pass and it's going to be my downfall at this rate.

The titan was still trying to attack me while taking damage from Rika, I wonder how much damn health this thing has. It's got to be taking a good amount though.

Having lost a leg and now taking consistent attacks from Rika I can imagine that it's pissed off.

Or at least I would've expected it to be until I looked up and realized it still had the same sinister smile across it's face as if everything was going good.

~These Titans don't usually have emotional reactions to damage and are focused on completing their duty. Just in case you didn't catch on already.

What a monstrosity.

~Your regeneration is still not able to activate due to the ongoing damage sustained plus the combat status.

Not being able to heal these wounds is starting to be a pain in the ass. I'll have to find a way to end this bastard quickly.
