Under Alice's command, the beast within the formation opened its savage maw.
Through the broken magic formation, a sound came from beyond this realm, the beast's huge fangs could be seen through the magic formation.
Number 5 who was still struggling to free himself experienced a sense of dread unlike any other, it was like his body and mind told him to run away now. His expression turned grave because of the next moment.
"Dragon Breath."
The phantasmal casting voice entered Number 5's ears just as his internal alarm went off. He looked up and saw what Alice was doing. He knew he was in for a deep shit.
A beam of light so tiny it's laughable came down. Although it looked insignificant, anyone who can sense the power contained within would avoid it at all costs. Wherever the beam went, it destroyed the object in its way, even the air around it wasn't spared.
His eight eyes focused on this attack, the light beam was too quick for him to dodge. Then, the beam hit his scaly body.
Pszztt
The beam pierced him and it hit the ground behind him but still showed no sign of stopping. The concentrated dragon breath was like a laser beam, a highly dangerous laser beam. Number 5 was unable to even react and suffered greatly.
The ground riddled with holes was still fuming with smoke and dust. When a gust blew away the dust, they could see a long gully etched into the land. The drain was easily more than a hundred meters in length when it tapered off. That's the result of the Dragon's Breath coming too close to the ground.
Kuina was awestruck by the power of this lost magic.
Meanwhile, Alice narrowed her eyes when another wave of smoke and dust clouded her view, she waved her hand and a gale from an unknown origin blew the dust away. She could finally see the scene of her carnage.
A scaly figure stood wobbly there, the victim of her attack looked like it would tip over if something touched it. Alice and Kuina watched with different reactions.
She looked at the figure with scaly skin armor and she shook her head with slight remorse.
"You evaded death at the last second, huh?"
The receiver of this attack looked completely battered, as it was bleeding all over.
Its dark scales were dyed red by its blood. The monster also lost a significant portion of its left torso, accordingly, it also lost an arm. The bloody stump pulsed and oozed disgustingly.
''Cough! Cough!"
Number 5 spat out blood as his bear-trap-looking fangs were dyed red with blood too. His vision went blurry as tears filled his eyes. Biting the pain was barely an option as agonizing cramps seemed to crush his insides from within. Panic slowly took over as, for a moment, a way out of this pain began to seem more and more unrealistic. The pain shouldn't be more than a minor nuisance to him, but right now it was far more than that.
Number 5's head felt eerily light, everything seemed to spin around him in a blur of motion, he immediately understood that his injuries weren't light.
He applied pressure to his nasty wound before raising his arm to look at the damage.
With a surging pain that threatened to push the oxygen out of his lungs, Marcus painstakingly looked at his left torso, drawn by a sense of something missing. When he saw the full extent of damage dealt to him, his body shivered.
"Fuckkkkkkk!!!"
It was a mix of sad sobbing and angered yelling, he raised his voice as his killing intent exploded upwards with his dark dou qi, and his dirty blood also splattered around him. Like a beast on its last legs, Number 5 looked like a pitiful creature.
He looked at Alice who was still floating above him. His bloodshot eyes zoomed in on Alice as dark energy swirled around him, the dark energy couldn't completely reverse the damage done to him.
"Kill! I will absolutely kill you you failed product!"
Spitting out blood, Number 5 shrieked while Alice watched with furrowed brows. She nonchalantly watched him growl at her like a dying beast. Her eyes were cold like the cold ice and for a moment Number 5 saw his death, an illusion of himself dying.
'It hurts! It hurts so much! Please, make it stop, it hurts so much! I.. I can't make it stop! There's too much blood and it hurts so much, please make it stop.
How am I even still standing? Does this mean I will be okay? No, impossible. There's no fixing this. How am I still standing?
No! No, I cannot die, not today. Not ever. I must survive, surely there must be a way. How did this happen to me, what have I done wrong? I can't.. Somebody, please help me. There must be somebody nearby, please help whoever you are, wherever you are.
Everything feels so heavy. My entire body is trying to force me to the ground, to lie down and close my eyes, but I can't. I can't give in, not yet. I can still make it, I just need some rest. I guess I will lie down for a little while, but I will not close my eyes. Do not close my eyes.
This is the end of the line for me, isn't it? Yes, I will die soon. Alone. Oh Lord, I'm going to die alone. Why hasn't anybody found me yet? What if they never find me? Oh god, I don't want to die like this, please find me.
I can't focus, everything is spinning. It doesn't matter which way I look, with 1 or 2 eyes, everything keeps spinning. I feel dizzy. Even with my eyes closed I feel dizzy.'
Number 5 shivered when he managed to regain his composure and understood that in his current state, staying would immediately lead to his death, especially now that he had spent his reserve of Chaos energy.
'I must escape.' He decided while raining curses on Alice to distract her as he escape. He created a small black light and threw it at the ground.
