The sword
1221 Words
The leviathan bashed me with his head and I hit the cold hard ground.
“Aghh” I shook my head from the pain but I stood back up immediately.
Once again, the leviathan slithers towards me but this time I climbed towards its head. I was filled with adrenaline and forgot that he was made out of water until I started sinking slowly. I tried slashing through it but nothing happened, the water just splashed around.
The liquid started gushing through my armor and I started to panic and tried to wriggle my way out of the water as he engulfed me. I held my breath as long as I could and swam my way out but I wasn't going anywhere, it’s as if I was stuck inside. I was running out of air and couldn't hold it in anymore and as I inhaled, I noticed that I could breathe underwater.
“My skeletal body was submerged but I can still breath;” I thought to myself.
I swam further inside the water leviathan until I saw the stone, I desperately tread the water to reach it and as I stood beside it, I took a one big swing but the water was slowing my strike down...
CLINK~
The stone was still undamaged and I couldn’t hit him properly.
He held his body high and forced me out of his liquidized body. As I hit the ground, he bashes his head on me so hard that it made a dent on the floor. My body is about to give up on me. I couldn't even move properly from the pain. I laid on the ground and accepted my fate.
As a final word, I said “oh, How I envy the dead”
The soft and gentle voice then spoke to me “fr33 m^*$%^#@”
I tried to stand up and wield the sword once again. I picked it up and pointed it at Merlin.
I proudly said; “I may not be worthy but at least let me free you.”
The pop-up screen started to appear in front of me.

I was confused by the ability that I obtained; “Heat??? How the hell will this help?... Wait…{{HEAT}}”
A magic circle emerged from the tip of the sword and as it went down the blade, it glowed red and the blade felt hot.
The leviathan started shooting a highly pressurized water from its mouth, which destroyed anything in its path. The ground cracked as the pressurized liquid went towards me. I didn’t run away nor fall, I stood my ground and held my sword as the water came crashing down my blade.
The blast of the leviathan split into two as it hit the sword, some of the water evaporated and created this thick fog of smoke. He couldn’t see where I was, but with his giant structure, I could see his silhouette from a distance. I came charging towards him knowing that he wouldn’t see me. I continuously sliced his liquidus body from the left… from his back… in front of him... towards his left. He didn't know where I was. The damage was minimal but the effect was great. Each slice slowly evaporated his body and replenished the thick smoke. The cycle continued for a long time until my body reached its limits. I waited for the fog to clear up and what I saw was the massive leviathan that was reduced in size. His body was like a three-story big. He looked at me and we both knew that the exhaustion was wearing me down.
He rushed me head-on and without a doubt that he would bash me to the ground.
With all my might and with all of my remaining strength I ran towards him and raised my sword in front of me and within a second, we collided with each other.
His liquidized head was cut into two with my heated sword and the smoke began to come out once again. I thought that he was defeated but I can still feel the pressure of him moving forward towards me. He was trying to push me back with his huge body and pressure, I tried to stand my ground and hold still until the stone touched my sword. The dilemma that I face right now, I can overcome it.
“I need to remember that I’m a skeleton right now, I need… to surpass… MY LIMITS… AS A…. HUMMAAANNN, AHHHHH”
The ground that I’m stepping off cracked and I feel like my body’s going to give up but a small snap was heard. I looked at the stone and a little gap was made, it continued cracking until it was sliced half-way in the stone. The pressure gradually weakened and I realized that I can’t let him back off, if he started to pull back, I will lose this opportunity. My body is about to give up and I feel like I'm about to fall.
*BANG*
Suddenly, I heard a loud noise above me. I looked up and a bunch of fire in the shape of a ball was shooting on top of my head. I felt someone pushing my back, supporting me, and assisting me to not fall on my feet. Vines started sprouting out of nowhere and made a cage-like dome so the leviathan can’t escape.
I thought to myself; “The stone is almost broken. I can do it, just one more push.”
The leviathan, Merlin, once again spoke to me, but he wasn't angry nor mad. The feeling of bliss can be felt through his word; “take care of my beloved daughter, brave hero.”
The stone shines a blinding white light, everyone couldn’t see it clearly but I, I saw it for, I don't have any eyes. As the stone broke into pieces, a small explosion was created, and at the same time, the water that was splattered everywhere merged and created a small lake in the middle of the town.
I looked back to see who helped me and what I saw was pure greatness and at the same time, weirdness. Four elementals with one of each element were standing before me.
The fiery hot woman, wearing a witch-like hat and the crimson fire fitted dress with a face of a goddess; “I told you, Idiots, to be faster, what were you doing?”
A stunning and attractive guy with a deep blue eyes, wearing a stylish and cool looking shirt that would fit in an idol group; “I wasn’t even needed here, I was supposed to have a concert right now. *sigh*”
Flying in mid-air, the elegant and pure girl, with the looks of a gorgeous innocent face, whose clothing is a pearl white strap dress; “well… I-I’m just thankful that nothing bad happened.”
And a handsome hunk man, a muscular and well-toned body wearing a tank top and wielding a meter tall hoe but in his case, it looks like a scythe, “ Are you alright, Young man?
“What???...”I was so confused and puzzled about what’s happening right now.
