Novel Full Chapter 317 Severed Limbs and Searing Flames
As the blade met the creature’s neck, there was a sickening crunch as the sharp edge sliced through flesh and bone. The creature’s head, now slice in two, tumbled through the air before landing at Viana’s feet with a grotesque thud. Its elongated neck, also sliced cleanly in two, twitched spasmodically on the ground, sending shivers down Kevin’s spine.
A chorus of roars echoed through the corridor as the creature writhed in agony, its remaining limbs thrashing wildly. Despite the searing pain, it managed to retract its other two elongated limbs, but the severed neck remained stretched.
Kneeling with the stretched neck dangling over his shoulder, Kevin surveyed the scene, carefully assessing the situation. With a determined focus, he slid the limp neck down from his shoulder and retrieved his knife, readying himself for whatever lay ahead.
Viana’s her gaze lingering on the sliced head and the eyes protruding from the top of its skull, sending shivers down her spine. With a sense of urgency, she returned to her preparations, which were just seconds away from completion. She silently prayed that the creature wouldn’t regain its bearings too quickly, giving them a crucial window of opportunity to strike.
As Keyara approached to check on him, her expression fraught with concern, she asked, “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine,” he replied, starting to rise to his feet. But before he could fully regain his balance, whoosh, a sudden gust of wind accompanied a searing pain in his thigh.
With a gasp, he looked down to find a gaping wound, the result of the creature’s attack. To his shock, he realized that the creature had now gained the ability to retract and lengthen its limbs far faster than before. Even as one arm struck, the other was already recoiling, leaving him vulnerable to its relentless assault.
Attempting to shift to the side to dodge the incoming limb, Kevin’s thighs, still wounded, caused him to lose his footing, resulting in a fall. Fortunately, Keyara was nearby and acted quickly, pushing his body away from the path of the attack, causing the limb to pierce into the floor instead.
Keyara stumbled back, bracing herself for another attack from the creature. However, she was surprised to see the arm retracting, and no attacked followed afterward. Alongside Kevin, she watched in anticipation as the limb withdrew, their attention now focused on the creature’s actions.
To their astonishment, they saw the creature cutting its own limp neck before emitting a deafening roar and stretching its arms toward Kevin again. Without any chance of dodging or help from his companion, Kevin could only watch helplessly as the arms whipped toward him once more. With a grim realization, he felt the arms pierce into both of his shoulders and the wall behind him, immobilizing him in a painful grip.
Before he could fully register the pain from the attack, Kevin watched in horror as the creature’s limbs tensed like rubber bands. The next moment, It’s headless body was hurtling toward him, propelled by the creature’s unstoppable force.
Turning to Keyara in a desperate hope for salvation, he saw her attempting to intervene by throwing her sword at the creature’s arms. With a surge of relief, he witnessed the sword making contact, slicing through the one limb failing to cut the other. However, his hope quickly turned to despair as he realized that the creature’s body was still advancing towards him. Only now, instead of the creature’s bloody neck, the gaping maw at its torso was aimed at him.
In the moment before the creature’s gaping maw could close around his head, a sudden rise in temperature signaled a dramatic change in the situation. As Kevin stared in disbelief at the creature hurtling towards him, a massive ball of fire streaked into view, aimed directly at the creature.
The fiery projectile struck the creature’s arms first, causing it to evaporate on contact. Then the flames engulfed the creature’s torso, filling every gap with scorching intensity, but it only brushed against it and before exploding against the wall, causing the ship’s some part to tremble from the force of the impact.
As the creature’s body continued its momentum, but due to the arm’s burning; the tension released in from of shock causing the direction of the burned body shifted abruptly. The creature’s body veered sideways, crashing just beside Kevin and embedding itself into the walls with a resounding thud.
“It’s still alive…” Keyara and Kevin exchanged shocked glances before turning towards Viana, who had just unleashed the fiery attack. They observed her heavy breathing and sweat-
drenched appearance, reminding them of the intensity of the moment.
Kevin looked at the still twitching body of the creature distanced himself, and Keyara hastily rose to her feet, grabbing moment.
Kevin looked at the still twitching body of the creature her sword. Without hesitation, she began hacking at the twitching body of the monster, determined to ensure it posed no further threat.
With a grunt, Kevin distanced himself from the wall, grimacing as the pierced arms slid out of his shoulders. Viana rushed over, assisting him as he drank the healing potions and applied them to his wounds.
After tending to him, Viana also took a sip from a potion of a different color. As Kevin watched Keyara relentlessly hacking her sword down at the creature until it was reduced to minced meat, fear tinged his voice as remembered he was just about to die but it’s hands, with fear he asked, “What was that thing?” Read Web Novels Online Free – NovelFire Novel Fire – novelfire.net
Keyara, finally done with the gruesome task, replied, “I don’t know and I don’t wanna know. Let’s just get out of here.” She helped Kevin to his feet, while Viana, now breathing normally, nodded in agreement. “She’s right. Let’s just get out of here…”
Ignoring the unsettling sight of the rapidly healing hole in Kevin’s shoulder, everyone turned their attention to the spot where Viana’s inferno had struck. “The hanger bay entrance is just that way,” Keyara pointed at the melted hole in the wall. Through it, they could catch a glimpse of the hangar bay beyond.
Through the glimpse of the hangar bay, they could see their way out of this nightmare of a ship.
