The Manananggal spoke 

"It disappoints me, you are enough to satisfy my hunger for a month but you knew what is happening, if it wasn't to that ghost"

"That Stupid Bankay(the orginal body of normal Aswang), he forgot to bind this ghost, i guess i'll be just going to absorb you then"

"Now enjoy the dream, Human!"

The Manananggal cast an Illusion magic again 

The whole scenery change

"This is useless you ugly halimaw, I'll just tear your illusion up"

Louie Cast an area damage type magic

"Tsunami! Dust devil! Earthquake!"

The Illusion is teared up. But it comesback again.

"Why do my Mp is decreasing instead of increasing, is my mp recovery skill broken ?"

"Oh i remember now this b***h, is using vamaparaic skill on me, but how come this ghost is not absorb yet?"

"Maybe? Maybe, it just need to avoid touching the ground so she can't absorb my energy. Let's give it a try"

"I'll use wind skill then"

"Lesser dust devil, activate"

"Ohhh i'm floating, i need to balance myself so i won't fall, this magic is unstable huhuhu"

A ball breaker suddenly appeared and about to hit Louie

"Ahhhhh what is that, suddenly appearing ahhhh i'm falling!!!"

"Holy s**t, it's that illusion again, if it keeps up my mp would be sucked out"

Louie talk to himself

"Louie, don't dodge it, it's just an illusion for goddam sake"

A Monster appeared out of nowhere

Louie is convince that it's just an illusion, so he didn't do anything and recieve it's attack, he was stumbled and taken damage.

"What the f**k!!! I thought it's just an illusion, what was that, is that an Aswang?"

"No that wasn't even an halimaw it's a toro"

A laugh from distance

"HAHAHAHHAHA, you see human i am not just messing how you see things, i messing with your brain, to be precise my magic wasn't an merely illusion magic, but a mind messing magic, i can convince your brain that you got damage, i am not killing you physically but mentally"

"Don't underestimate me, human, i am not Manananggal for nothing, we are the blessed one by the great one HAHAHAHA"

"It's time to die, human"

"Think Louie, Think! Please there be a skill that can help me"

"He relies on my magic energy to create this mind messing magic, but how i am gonna end it??"

"I guess i am going to use that once and for all"

"Beforee i lost many mp, i'll be using it on my self then"

"What will you do, mister?.."

"First, Synthesize skill: combine Spatial magic, with detection, please workk, i really need to detect where does she hides her Legs"

Succesfully combined skill Spatial detection, ability to detect an movement or magic activity of any entity from distances

"Nice!! Now i need to apply magic to my body"

"Conversion skill : take 2300 stats points from magic and invest it in Strength and speed"

"I won't rely on my eyes for now and to magic, spatial detection activate"

"Even you close your eyes i still can mess with your brains, for example..."

"I can make you imagine things against your will"

Louie dodge all what things he imagined and head to the legs of the Manananggal to destroy it, he is approching it with a magic on his hand

Louie activate all his skill to exhaust his mp

"Reinforcment magic on hand, strengthening magic, swift, lion's will and all of his attack skill"

"And activate skill rage"

The Manananggal spoke

"You drain yourself to prevent me from using it against you? What a fool you forgot that's the only thing you can use, even if relies on physical strength, i can still cause damage to you, human, with this sharp claws, HAHAHAHHAA plus putting reinforcement magic in your hands, is that how will you pierce my legs, i am sorry to dissappoint you but i'll just absorb that"

As Louie gets near in the legs he dispell his reinforced magic on his hands and a draw out a sword, the one he got from the smithing back in the Marikeños Village, it was made from Tikbalang bones

He slice the legs to bits. The Manananggal was surprised as she starts to decompose a little by little

"I thought your a magic Caster...."

"HAHAHAHHAA i am not just a magic caster but i am a swordman too, thanks to the training, i learn while travelling, it really paid off, and besides I am not just a swordman too, but a hero, now if you'll excuse me i have some soul to save, just rest there till you fully disappear."

"Ahhh im so drained, i need water"

"Hey, ghost help me find the Aswang, so i can put your subordinates to peace"

"Mister, were still cast in illusion!"

The dying manananggal suddenly laugh

"HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA, you just got tricked!"

"It was all just an illusion that i was dying"

"What the, but your legs is destroyed, you can get more energy"

"Yeah, it's all true but while you are busy, i gathered the aswang and took all of their energy, even that useless Bankay. Now that youre dry, you can die now and serve as my long time food"

Louie couldn't get up out of drainess, the ghost come up with idea

"Hey, mister you help me this much, my friends and family's are gone, there sense if i stay here, so it's time to give back the gratitude, absorb me mister"

"No, it's wrong i don't want to take you out if you're not bad, besides i don't you to leave this wirld with regret, i will find a way to save us."

The Manananggal appeared behind him and used her Claws to pierce Louie's heart.
