Gambit Of The Living Weapon 131 Outdoors Session

Under normal circ.u.mstances, she would be completely terrified of flying and would be absolutely frozen right now.

But right at this moment, Chloe's safety was all she had in mind. She already had lost her mother, her sister, and her brother-in-law to Mia. She couldn't afford to lose anyone else.

"Come on, come on!!!" She kept saying as she continued to release healing magic to boost her speed and flapped her wings while flying at sixty miles per hour.

She finally spotted the building and tried to lower her speed as she approached it. She was in a hurry to save her friend but she still couldn't be careless about the situation. As she approached the window she finally saw what was making Chloe so nervous.

Her therapist was crouching on a corner unable to stop shaking while a ma.s.sive beast made of wood glared at her. Evlin then realized that the beast was talking to her. "Where... Is... Evlin!!!??"

"I don't know!! I called her like you said! Just please let me go!!" Chloe said looking like she was about to cry at any second.

Evlin gained some distance from the building, then took aim of Chloe's window while taking a deep breath and proceeded to propel herself into it completely cras.h.i.+ng against the wall.

The beast turned around as the sound of the wall being destroyed called his attention, but before he could even react a golden claw was coming at him and slammed his body against the office's wall.

"Aaaahhh!!!" Chloe began to scream absolutely terrified from Evlin's entrance. She closed her eyes for a moment while the shattered gla.s.s of her window finished spreading itself across the room and finally looked at the scene in front of her. Another beast, this time covered in golden hair and with wings on its back, holding the wooden beast with her bare hands.

"Chloe!! Are you ok?? Did this thing hurt you??" Evlin said while continuing to hold the beast.

"What?? Who...??" The woman with curly hair simply lost all sense of what was happening anymore and was unable to form words.

While Evlin was distracted, the wooden monster took this chance and slashed her stomach with a wooden claw.

"Graaaahhhh!!" Evlin screamed as the pain started to spread. Luckily her golden form was quite resistant to physical attacks so she didn't take much damage.

"What's going on!!??" Chloe said while turning her gaze from Evlin to the beast.

"Chloe, just get out of here!! It's not safe!!" Evlin said while trying to heal her wound with magic.

"That voice... Evlin...? Evlin is that you...?"

"I told you to get out of here!!!" Evlin said as she pounced on the creature. But the monster leaped out of the way and landed right in front of Chloe.

"Aaaahhh!!!" The woman began to scream again at the sight of the beast and became frozen with fear.

The beast looked at her and started to get annoyed with her noise. He tried to pierce her with the horns that were coming out of his head, but Evlin jumped in and pushed her out of the way in the last second.

"Gotcha!!" She said as she placed Chloe in her arms.

"E- Evlin?? Is that really you?? What's happening?? What is that thing?? Why do you look like this?"

"Huh... How do I put this... Oh! I know!! This is all a dream!"

"Wha...?" Chloe then stared at a mirror that was right next to then and returned to look at Evlin once again. "No, it's not... You can't see your reflection in a dream!"

"... Oh, come on, Chloe... Work with me..."

Evlin was then pushed out of the building from the same hole she created once the beast jumped on her with all its weight.

"Aaaaahh!!!" Chloe who was on Evlin's arms suddenly began to scream again as she started to fall towards the pavement.

"Chloe!!" Evlin rushed to fetch her but the beast was right behind her dropping like a meteor to grab her.

Evlin turned around and changed her bracelets into a gauntlet to smack the creature into the sky. "Gruaaahhhh!!!" the beast screamed as it started to gain alt.i.tude. Spirits don't feel any pain so Evlin a.s.sumed that was probbaly a scream of anger.

"Ok... Now, where was I...? Oh, right!!" Evlin spotted Chloe falling at a very dangerous speed and rushed to save her just seconds before reaching the ground.

"Argh... Adba... Baad... Haga..." Chloe was trying to form words but the adrenaline was going to her heard and making it impossible to think straight.

"Chloe, calm down... Just relax a little and breathe... Just breathe..."

"Evlin!!??" The woman said as she grabbed Evlin's collar. "What was that? What was that? What was that? What was that?"

"It's... A long story..."

As Evlin continued to try and think of a way to explain the situation she realized that some kind of light was starting to surround the two of them.

"What the...?" Evlin looked up and saw a ball of electricity coming right at their position. "What the h.e.l.l???"

She hugged Chloe with her golden arms and leaped out of the way. The place she was standing on just a few moments ago was completely blown up, leaving only a crater and a pile of smoke remaining.

"What was that? What was that? What was that? What was that?" This time it was Evlin's turn to feel lost. She looked up and saw that the creature was charging electricity from its gigantic wooden horns while sticking to the building's wall using its claws. "An electric, wooden, possessed bull monster?? Are you for real???"

As she continued to gaze at the beast, another ball of energy was formed and launched at her direction just like before. She continued to hug Chloe and jumped out of its trajectory one more time to keep her safe.

The bull just observed her movements and kept charging blast after blast trying to hit her. Evlin started to feel like she was relieving something from her past, trying to dodge a barrage of electric attacks while using her golden form as she carried a terrified woman with her "Whoa... Fells like Xadi, all over again..."

"What?? Evlin, what did you say??" Chloe screamed in panic while hugging Evlin with all her strength afraid of being fried by one of the attacks.

"Nothing... Just feeling nostalgic for a bit..."

Evlin kept trying to think of a way of getting Chloe out of danger, but the wooden bull was unleas.h.i.+ng so many attacks that the moment she tried to drop her off, one of the lighting blasts would just turn her into ashes.

She decided to simply run away and try to lose the beast but as she began to do so, she realized that the monster was starting to surround itself with wind and was now being carried by a small tornado.

Evlin just looked at the scene and could not believe her eyes "Are you kidding me???"

She then changed her gauntlet into a pair of small boots and tried to release raw magic to increase her speed. She began to notice how much she was missing her crossbow. She needed to be careful and smart with her amount of wood right now since there was so little of it to use. In the old days, she would be armed with a gauntlet in each hand and rocket boots on her feet, but now, all her wood was going to her boots leaving her with very little attack options.

"Evlin!! He's getting closer!!!" Chloe yelled while the two continued to circle the streets of the city with the monster chasing after them.

"What do you want me to do??" Evlin screamed trying to think of a solution. She began to flashback to her fight with Xadi, trying to remember how she defeated him back then. During that fight, she managed to distract him with a surprise attack and knocked him out while he was startled. The only problem was, during that fight, she had many more attack options on her side. How was she going to distract the beast with barely any wood at her disposal?

"Oh-oh!" Evlin said as she began to notice the power of her rocket-boots shrinking.

"Oh-oh?? Why oh-oh?? What's happening?" Chloe said while warping her arms around Evlin's neck.

"I'm losing magic!"

"What?? Magic??"

Evlin felt her movement getting slower, which in turn meant that the beast was about to reach them. Evlin needed to try something or the bull would corner them.

"Chloe!!" Evlin said.

"Wh What??"

"Do you trust me??"

"I... What?"

"Aghh!! I have no time for this! Sorry!!"

"What do you meeeeeeeeeeeann!???" Chloe said as Evlin threw her at the sky as far as she could.

She then stared at the bull coming at her with absurd speed, and with the few seconds she had left, rushed towards a nearby building, crouched sideways against the wall, and propelled herself back at the beast's position.

The two were now about to collide with one another. Evlin then took this moment to form her wooden gauntlet again and tried to smack the beast with all her strength, but the moment her fist entered into range, the bull released a wave of ice that completely froze her arm.

"What!!!???" She said completely stunned.

The bull then took this opportunity to charge its claw with electricity and gave Evlin an uppercut raising her towards the sky.

"Guaaahhh!!!" She said as she was launched high into the air. She almost lost consciousness for a split-second but the sound of her therapist falling towards her direction while screaming in terror quickly woke her up.

"Aaaaahhhh!!" Chloe yelled as she kept falling.

Evlin saw the lady approaching and quickly grabbed her in mid air. "Chloe!! Chloe are you ok??"

Chloe then grabbed Evlin's face and started to stretch it in opposite direction by pulling her cheeks. "NEVER. DO THAT. AGAIN!!!"

"Soorryy..."

The two women looked at the wooden bull raising itself in the air close to them surrounded by a small tornado while cloaked in electricity and carrying a pair of frozen claws.

"Ice... Air... And Lighting... Could it be...?" Evlin a.n.a.lyzed the creature's powers and a scary thought hit the back of her mind.

The wooden bull opened his mouth and released a scratchy sound. "Little... Giiiirl..."

Evlin then realized. She knew who she was fighting. Who the spirit of this possessed piece of the channeling tree belonged to. Someone who had died in the battle of the southern kingdom during a time where the place was covered with cursed energy all around it.
