Chapter 29 Burning, Battling … and Bare?
Fire exploded from Little White's body, spiraling around him like a blazing inferno before surging forward in a searing wave. The monster's mouth opened, balls of energy surging from it, countering that of Little White ´s .
Seeing that they had reached a stalemate, Little White summoned more energy, his body trembling from the energy. He felt weak but giving up was not an option, it only meant death.
AHHHRG!
He yelled as energy burst out from his body. The flame slithered out, encircling the monster. The intense heat forced a whimper from its mouth. The monster paced around, unsure of where to defend itself from. Dread flickered in its eyes as it gazed at the wall of fire surrounding him like a cyclone.
Its black eyes reflected the fiery red flames, for a moment it stood frozen. It knew it was staring at death's face, but he wouldn't go down without a fight. With the last bit of its strength, balls of energy surged out from its mouth colliding with the fire wall at every corner.
Its efforts were of no help as the flames descended on it in an angry rush, even its own power seemed to be nothing but a flicker in front of it.
By the time the fire died down, a burnt carcass of the monster came to view, smoke emanating from it, some part of its body cracking with red hot colour.
Olivia's throat tightened. She should be relieved that he had protected her, but she wasn´t. Her hand clenched as she struggled with being grateful or not. Now she realised that the system wasn't lying, she was good as useless. She felt a pang in her heart at the word 'Useless.'
Her eyes locked on Little White's still-flickering body before drifting lower. She regretted it instantly when he suddenly turned toward her.
She quickly turned her gaze away. A pink blush forming on her cheeks. She hates the fact that she was feeling this way over her pet.
" Olivia." he called out, he hurriedly walked towards her. " Are you okay?" he tried to reach for her shoulders, but she took a step backward. Using her hand to cover her chest.
