Vampire (Part 2)

Lucian was met by the shriek that sent him against the wall, cracking it from the pressure as he gritted his teeth bearing through it.

His ears bleed more and he could barely hear a thing. Some skin of his forearms was ripped off as he remained standing and fighting the will to not give up.

The vampire lunged at him swiftly as he narrowly avoided it's claw strike, which got him in the left shoulder.

Using his left leg, he kicked the shin of the vampire yet to his unfortunate luck, it did nothing but aim to strike him with the other claw.

Reacting to it just barely, he used his right hand and blocked the strike incoming at him with the sword, pushing against it.

It pulled out the claw from his shoulder as it eyeballed him with intent to kill him.

Lucian noticed it was much stronger than he is and was forced to duck and jump into a roll to avoid it, as it struck the wall and had it's claw stuck.

Acting quickly, he rushed at it the fastest he could, fighting and bearing the pain like never before, decisively swinging at it's head with all of his mite, yet it went to dodge.

Catching his balance quick, he performed anti-measure circular swing that it couldn't avoid, forcing it to block it as he chopped it's arm off from the elbow down.

It shrieked in pain and pulled the other claw arm out of the wall, kicking him back.

Lucian gained his balance back and had the sword at the ready, waiting for it to strike him.

It's arm very slowly started to grow back, it would have been somewhat quicker yet it was very conservative of it's food - the humans and that slowed it's healing factor down a little.

"Come at me!" Lucian yelled at it, gripping the blade the best he can as it screamed and jumped up at the ceiling and down at him.

He instinctively moved out of the way, noticing the ground was cracked into a very tiny crater, swinging his blade at a downwards slash, causing the vampire to weave it.

A full circular slash and it avoided it too.

After performing it, he panted a little as he was out of breath a little, sweating and burning through his stamina and limit.

It jumped at him, attempting to slice at his face. Lucian raised the sword to block it and performed a quick counter, spinning and getting on one knee, cutting it's leg.

A downwards claw strike caught him off guard as he jumped to the side the best he could, rolling like a pancake a little and standing back up.

The adrenaline kept him alive as he even put on a sort of a grin, bearing through the pain and rushing at it with sudden speed, even though it dodged.

It vanished from his eye sight as he looked around, unable to spot it, hearing a very muffled scream, difficult to determine it's direction of incoming.

Right as he looked above, he saw it jump down at him, widening his eyes and being pushed back, using the blade to scrape against the floor so it slows him down.

Surprise attack failed.

It lunged right at Lucian once more, clashing with him multiple times as he tried to get an opening to land one of the strikes, feeling dizzy yet still fighting through it, knowing he cannot lose consciousness without taking down the monster before him.

So determined, his movements got sharper, stronger and even a little faster at the cost of his body giving out much sooner and loosing more blood.

Grazing it multiple times after it weaved dozens of times, he jumped into a roll to avoid it's claw strike, yet it got his calf.

The stinging pain was there as he let out a wince, yet even so he stood back up and stared down at it, noticing that it's gotten progressively slower as he damaged it.

He made a run for it for the door frame yet it was quick enough to get in front of him. Hoping that it does that, he stopped dead in his tracks, swinging his blade across it's stomach and jumping to the right in a roll and it rushed at him, kicking him once more across the room.

Lucian quickly stood up and foresaw it's next attack, noticing pieces of rubble beside himself. Gaining a quick idea, he noticed there was multiple across the entire room.

It likes dodging, so why not use it to his advantage was the boys thought as he took the rubble and took a few steps to face against it. It rushed at him so he quickly threw the piece of rubble at it, causing it to weave, giving him an opening to strike it's leg but getting struck on his right hand's forearm.

The bleeding was bad, but he fought through it, grabbing another and throwing it at it again, forcing it to move out of the way and continue at him.

He took another and took a few steps forward, confidently, throwing it at it's face, causing it to use it's only claw to block it, giving him the opening to take a lunge and appear behind it, striking it with his elbow in the back and performing a circular swing, cutting it's back with the axe from before still in it.

Lucian grabbed another one, noticing it'll shriek again. He cannot afford that.

Lunging at it, his eyes caught it going to claw him, so he threw the last rock he can at its face, causing it to strike it and weave it at the same time, giving himself the opening to shoulder bash it the best he could and knock it on the ground.

As he was sat on it, he raised his blade and aimed to decapitate, succeeding and grinning as he succeeded, noticing more blood pouring out of his mouth and quickly losing that grin.

He looked down and saw it's claws went straight through his stomach.

His consciousness swindled as his eyes began to close, whilst the vampire below him began to fade away.

Lucian's eyes shut as he fell to the floor, bleeding out and only thinking about how he succeeded in the end.
