TOFD 239

Lucky 239

The monsters were rampaging the island, their eyes were on the pitiful people. They attacked the weak and tear their flesh, eating them deliciously. 

Furthermore, these monsters were using blunt weapons such as wooden spears. They appeared to be like an ancient army, but the fear they spread was enough. 

"H- help me!!!"

The screaming was all around. Everyone was afraid, especially when a ginormous creature was soaring over the island and shooting fire. The Bakunawa was destroying the island slowly. 

In the middle of the sea, an island of fire was getting created. The island was getting covered by flame and no one could escape it. 

Calix and the others were caught by the crisis. They were fighting rabid Aberrants that attack them. 

Together with the suffocating pressure that was coming from the DemonGod, the three persevered and fought valiantly. 

They were close to their limits and they understood that they would faint at any moment. However, they knew that losing their consciousness would bring them nothing but death. 

They would die if they don't fight. 

They had to leave this place, but they could not. 

The island was already over, it was going to sink and it was impossible to save it. 

"We have to find Yuna!!"

That's right, the only answer to their problem was Yuna Garcia. She could create portals to escape this island. 

"Calix! I don't know how your power works but is it possible to save this island? Our country took a decade to build this island, it's a waste if this sink! This island houses millions of people, all of them will die if we don't do something."

Marianne explained. Her face was already haggard and pale. She glanced at her leg, it was obvious that she lost a great amount of blood. 

"I will try!!"

Calix gritted his teeth as he killed a monster. 

His weapon transformed into a Thunder 50 BMG and pointed it to the ground. Using his remaining power, he gathered the azure in his body and passed it into the bullet. 

He started coughing blood. It seemed that he pushing himself to the limit. But he didn't stop. Instead, he gathered enough energy and pulled the trigger. 

A powerful gunshot reverted, penetrating the ground. 

"Guah--!!"

Calix lost his strength and kneeled to the ground. He began coughing blood nonstop. This was the first time he exceeded his limit. His vision was getting blurry. 

"Calix!"

Suddenly, the shaking of the ground stopped. Even the Aberrants were confused as if the earthquake was nothing but an illusion.

.........

......

...

 {Huh? Why half of the island stopped shaking?}

The Bakunawa was shocked as it glanced at the place. The DemonGod made sure that the island was cut in half and destroyed its foundation under it. 

It confirmed that the island was sinking. However, when he looked at it again, he found that half of it was floating still. 

"Hey, don't look at the other while fighting me. It's disrespectful!!"

{Graahhh!!}

Esmeralda used her ability and darkness began strangling the Bakunawa. 

She could feel that something was happening on the island. She did not know what was it but she could see that it was a good thing for them. So she decided to confront the DemonGod to prevent it from destroying the island. 

Her body was in tatters, she had wounds all around her body. She admitted that her current circumstances were a disadvantage for her. 

The darkness was not enough to fight the Bakunawa and she was slowly losing the battle. The only thing she could do was to keep the monster and wait for reinforcement. 

"Well, at this moment, I'm not sure if they have the spare military strength to send reinforcement."

It looked like on the other side of the country, a war was happening too. 

"... I wonder if the Obice can withstand it."

So far, she could not see any flying-type Aberrants. It would be devastating if the flying-type Aberrants attacked them. 

The country was getting attacked by both sides. 

Blood Moon, the moment where monsters evolved and attacked humanity. 

{You foolish woman!! Your species is already dead!! You should follow them!!}

"What do you know about me to say that, huh?"

Esmeralda grinned and created black spears and shoot them. Yet, the Bakunawa received them like nothing, the monster's scales were tough and impossible to penetrate. 

"Tch, that's why I hate the sun."

{You always hate the sun!!}

The Bakunawa roared and shoot a fire breath. Esmeralda successfully escaped it. 

"But it will not be long till I lose, I need something to turn this thing around. Fortunately, the other half of the island is still intact. At least the citizens have a safe place to stay."

.........

......

...

"Calix!"

Scarlett and Marianne approached him. The island was safe but Calix was not. 

Marianne created an ice barrier to protect them from the monsters. The three hide inside. 

"I'm sorry, I should not have pushed you to do it!"

"No, it's fine."

Calix wiped his blood. 

"Besides, while I'm still awake, I need you to help me."

"Calix you are already weak."

"Listen to me, this is about the DemonGod. I have a way to kill it."

He looked at the two seriously. He have to do it, or else they were going to die. 

"To be honest, I don't know if this will work but we don't have a choice. I have to do it."

He was determined. That's what it takes to be a man. As long as he can fight, Calix will do it. Even if he has to sacrifice himself. 

"I..."

The two women didn't know what to say but Calix's determined gaze affected them.
