Chapter 26 : Fake Or Legit Part 5.

Being at the entrance of the cavern, the tremors of the ground become more evident, it seems that Slayçęr is sensitive to this type of situation, since she looks serene but very serious, almost tense.

*—Wölfznsatch…*

I berely heard her whisper, now she truly looks preoccupied, an abrupt movement of her face reveals that the "Horde" is not too far away.

A pack that is made up of about 150 to 250 wolves that vary in size, from being 4 feet tall without counting the head, to be larger than a horse, preserving their vigor and vitality with the increasing speed of their sprinting.

Others are not different than an elephant, large, beefy and towering but fortunately slower.

—Be careful, they can attack from afar.

As soon as i hear such words, dozens of luminous light beams of different colours come out of the jaws of these fierce pack of wolves.

The constant bursts of light strikes force us to seek refuge inside the cave.

—What is their problem?!, And how they detect us?!.

My inquiring is answer by Slayçęr.

—Kinetic Energy…

{What i use?, It is my fault?!}

»—I know what you are thinking, it wasn't just you…

{She can read my mind?!}

»—Temperature is the average Kinetic Energy of an object, in other words, your body heat…

{So it was my fault!, i suggested this!, and being at the entrance of a cold cave when it is already getting dark, So Slayçęr and Myself are no different from two flares drawing attention to ourselves for this wolves to feast on us!}

Looking for a solution to our predicament, an idea completely unorthodox cross my mind.

—If we block the entrance we can buy some time.

—With what purpose?!, The Wölfznsatch will destroy the stones and enter regardless of the feeble blockage you want to do.

—Then let's wait until they are inside to collapse the entrance.

Slayçęr He raises an eyebrow, this time in approval, without wasting another second, each of us grabs a Pickaxe, the spykes of the one she wields turned into a metallic vanta black with nacar white light on the edges that is coated with transluscent aqua green Kinetic Energy.

{So that is Keizer!, Then, the light is Zionez?, and simultaneously is employing Kinetic Energy, Impressive!}

The two of us damaged the cavern walls as quickly as it is possible, but not without unwanted company.

The smallest Wolves are the fastest, and the part of the pack invading has at least 40 members, maybe more.

Swinging the Pickaxe horizontally i kill a wolf, by repeating the movement in reverse, a second wolf dies.

Fastly i check their Stats as i splatter around the head of a third wolf.

{Twelve of fifty eight?}

A quick look around me reveals 11 casualties of the Wölfznsatch pack, 3 of them out of my own hand and the other 8 corpses were a work perpetrated by Slayçęr.

{Interesting and useful, Thinking on my enemies widely counts their numbers and doing it specifically gives me who is the most dangerous of the present Adversaries}

—Do not allow them to pass!, if they surround us we die!.

—I know that!.

I retort annoyed to Slayçęr while hitting another wolf on their spine, reaching my twelfth kill.

{Everyone knows the canines have cristal backs, and she is not the exception}

Bigger wolves start to enter in the cavern as Slayçęr and Myself walk back, going deeper into the tunnel.

With the addition of the last wolves, the two of us have only one course of action, to fall back or fall down, and obviously the second one is not an option.

—[Siege].

Slayçęr throws her Pickaxe upwards imbued with Zionez, Keizer and Kinetic Energy even when she is not touching the tool, the impact is a direct hit on the ceiling of the cavern, cracking the superior structure but not destroying it.

»—[Smash] the wall!.

And i do so, not even thinking why, my body simply moves on his own without any doubt.

The strike is as powerful as the one i perform earlier against the last Villager, turning into bits the now shattered wall.

The damage expands like wildfire collapsing the tunnel from above and forcing us to run faster, or die squashed.

*§ Score: 528 §*

{Some Wölfznsatch were killed!, I hope this is enough to dissuade them and they cease their attack}

We reach the previous chamber with the oil lamps, here, the structure is solid and the stability acceptable, being safe for now.

»—You over did it again!.

Complain to me Slayçęr, i couldn't care less, but i explain to her regardless.

—I am not a soldier, mercenary, police officer, ranger or hunter, i was just a professional Athlete, a Lacrosse Player…, Yes, i born in a difficult neighborhood and street fights or murdered people was pretty common on daily basis in my youth, so i learned to defend Myself, however, i am not qualify in the slightest above average in terms of a threat compared with others, it is obvious i don't have the knowledge to "Hold back", or measure my actions when my life is in a dire situation…

Slayçęr turns away, half mad at me for my incompetence and half concerned on the way she acted with me, almost as if she were sorry about my particular predicament.

—So you don't know anything of what is happening?.

Not understanding the question she made, i state my answer flatly.

—My Planet "Ground" was invaded by tall creatures made up of intestines, those creatures began to kill everyone, or that was until some of us were forced to come into the dessert "Layer" in wich a Pyramid appear out of nowhere.

—You know what a Layer is?!.

Intrigued asked Slayçęr, and i decide to tell her the truth.

—Not really, a new acquittance told me it was an ever expanding and infinite flat universe.

She remains silent looking at me with evident struggle, and after a grimace, she decides to speak..

—I don't know if the best thing to do is to leave you in the shadows a little longer or tell you the tiny bits of knowledge that i learn across the years before i came into this "Existence" tod…

A powerful wave of light aqua green Kinetic Energy emerges from the cavern wall without damaging it, interrupting Slayçęr's speech, and slamming our bodies violently against the adjacent wall.

Falling on the stone floor i tried to stand up without being capable of doing so, the second thing i notice is my blurred sight, and the third one is that every part of me is injured, delivering an agonizing pain on every moment.

But the worst is the situation itself, is so similar to what occurs to my fiancee that i almost panic.

With difficulty i manage to move my neck and discern Slayçęr's figure, she doesn't seem to be hurt, well, it is not like i can tell for sure, since everything is auto censored by my injured eyes.

The ringing in my ears is unbearable, i think they are bleeding, again, not like i know for sure.

»—Can you…

Slayçęr doesn't say another word, is obvious that i survived only due to my… , how Bverxkka said, "Marginal Compatibility and Affinity" to Kinetic Energy.

»—Korvac, I am going to collapse the rest of the cavern, a filthy arrogant and impertinent dog it is not going to have his way with me!.

{Wait!, This is for her?!, Or was just an unfortunate coincidence?}

»—*Hghh*, What were the chances that they could get here too!, Of all the places of "The New Existence"!, Here!, Seriously!, I swear that "Casualty" and "Causality" are going to feel my wrath because of this… , I am not the only one that enters on this Pyramid!, my sisters, cousins and classmates friends are here too!…

{What are you rambling about right now Slayçęr?!, Focus on ending our lives!, I don't want to have the expirience of being devoured alive in the literal sense of the sentence!}

I don't know if Slayçęr can really read my mind or not, but she stops talking or complaining and starts to destroy the walls with the claws of her hands.

»—I am going to compensate you Korvac, search for me in the Pyramid, this shouldn't have to occur you…

After her words, Slayçęr holds a Pickaxe on each hand, charging them with Zionez, Keizer and Kinetic Energy.

Resolution is evident on her face, this can be a simulation, but accepting defeat is not easy, however, priorities are important.

»—[Doble Siege]…

The Pickaxes fly on different directions collapsing the ceiling of the cavern, letting large rocks fall over us, burying our bodies with natural stone coffins…
