Chapter 479 Chapter 479
?But he didn't. He saw the first arm, and nearly died when he finally saw the second arm raging in from the left.
fuck!
He cursed- dropping his precious head.
The swishing wind rushed right over him. And his gut dropped.
damn it!!
He had dropped to his knees, in an effort to dodge. But that brought him face to face with Tiffany's powerful legs.
Air tinging with excitement, the arch of her right knee jutted forward- cracking like thunder and fast as lightning. Dracula instantly rolled over- taking advantage of the ruckus by extending his sword.
GOTCHA.
The glowing plasma blade sliced into her right leg- igniting a dreadful roar from her throat! Abby's face turned purple- and she screamed;
"YOU GUYS PLEASEEE!! STOP FIGHTING!!!"
But at this point, neither was interested peace. Both their faces twisted in rage. Dracula was up on his feet- jumping in excitement. Tiffany stumbled for a moment- swaying unsteadily from her new wound.
Dracula, eager for win, leapt at her- sword pointed straight- aiming for her heart.
But it proved to be a serious miscalculation.
Dracula's eyes widened in shock as she leaned forward- instead of ducking! Her blood red eyes glowed as she closed in on him, slowly stretching out her thick furry arm- unfolding her stubby claws, reaching for his head!
Nexus tensed.
Of course she wasn't gonna dodge!
She wanted him dead- more than she wanted to be alive!
So, as the three foot sword, (still glowing brightly), pierced through her fur, the daggers in Tiffany's eyes pierced through Dracula's soul even before her claws slashed his face.The slicing pain cut through his brain- and his right eye closed.
From his throat, a deep cry of agony spattered through;
arghhhhhh!!
Blade still lodged in her chest, she lurched forward- bringing her second arm swinging down on the left part of his skull.
crack!
Suddenly, a slight wheezing sound- barely audible above perception, cut through the stillness. Together, at the same time, both their heads jerked up- cocking in the direction of the smoky ruins.
They paused- waiting with round eyes.
It came again- like before- faint, distant, and barely audible. Abby's face, still puffy, glanced at briefly at Nexus- shooting him a questioning gaze. But she got no answers from there. His face was contorted in uncertainty- black eyes glinting beneath the curve of his tufted eyebrows.
"Dracula?" he called carefully; "Old man- are you there?"
Thankfully, the southern breeze picked up at that moment- sending the smoke away in gusts of wind. Nexus eyes tore into the darkness- searching. A sound- like a whisper came, and he instantly cocked his head towards the far right.
Almost immediately, he gasped.
Alarm blared in Abby's ears. Frantically, she interrogated him; "What is it? I can't see anything! Tell me what you see! Is my grandfather okay? Is she okay?"
Nexus lifted his hand, and pointed ahead;
"There, on that boulder up ahead- do you see those two shapes?"
Her eyes widened; "W-w-what?" she stammered; "But how did they get that far?!"
"Must be the explosion. Come on, let's go check it out."
A couple dozen meters later, southeast of their previous location, they came upon the boulder. A thick smell of burnt flesh hung in the air. The ground was burnt black. Pillars of smoke rose up from several columns.
Hot tears, like burning coals, formed on Abby's eyes.
They both laid there- still as statues- blackened from the smoke.
"She turned back." Nexus spoke; "Look, she's back to her original form."
"So is grandpa. . ." she muttered; "Do you think-? Do you you think they're still aliv–"
Nexus cut her short; "Come, let's help them up."
On their feet, they scampered towards their separate bodies, Nexus to Tiffany's, and Abby to her grandfather. On Tiffany's chest was a deep hole- slowly spurting out dark rich blood. Dracula was the same, except he was covered in multiple holes- chest, arms, and face.
"She's hurt," he announced- placing his finger below her nostrils; "And somehow, still breathing."
By Dracula's side, on her knees, Abby's teary eyes roved across his still body- afraid to even touch him;
"Grandpa. . .you there?" she wailed weakly- turning her head to Nexus;
"Nexus he's not moving. . ." she whispered painfully; "Why isn't he moving???"
He opened his mouth to answer, but his right ear twitched uncontrollably. His thin lips pressed together in alarm- and instinctively, just as he rose up from the ground, there came the low sounds of a dozen feet pattering on the ground.
It came from the far east, from inside the main building- all at once, several doors seemed fling open at the same time-
