Chapter 44: Ring Of Past
Deleyna's entire body seemed to convulse, and as she roared, she opened her maw wide, releasing a flood of toxic liquid. The toxic substance sprayed across the room, sizzling against the stone, burning holes wherever it touched.
Dune dodged, barely managing to evade the dangerous spray, his body moving with frenzied urgency. Elijah rolled aside, barely avoiding the deadly splash. The air around them grew thick with the smell of poison, and Dune knew they didn't have much time before it consumed them.
But he didn't hesitate. His next move came instinctively. He launched forward once more, and with all his might, he struck Deleyna's skull again.
Dune's hand was ruined. The skin was completely peeled off, revealing only red, mangled flesh and exposed bonebeneath.
He gritted his teeth through the agony. He
wasn't done and neither was Elijah.
The moment Deleyna reeled back from Dune's hit, Elijah also jumped onto her head. And he stabbed. Again. And again. And again.
She screeched, her body thrashing, smashing into walls, into the rising water, trying desperately to shake them off. But they held on.
Dune, his destroyed hands trembling, lifted his other arm. He shoved his fist straight into Deleyna's skull.
"DIE!"
Four Nebastep inside her brain. Her head exploded. A spray of blood, bone, and pulped flesh rained down as her massive body convulsed. Her monstrous face was now nothing more than a mess of exposed bone, flesh, and blood. Deleyna's body spasmed, and with a final, desperate roar, she collapsed.
