However, something seemed wrong. The fly smelled more... like itself. As if they were two of a same kind. Just the thought of it made it more hungry. It couldn't wait to devour the black fly. It ignored all of the incoming attacks, and had its eyes on the black fly.
"Stupid spider, just give up already!" He shouted. Seconds passed as the girl behind him started attacking. He wanted to curse at the girls attacking. The monster wouldn't fall just because its leg broke. It had animal instincts. The more it wants to eat, the more it tries its very best just to hunt down its prey and now, the monster were clearly beyond that. The fact that it didn't gave up to Vince's stopping force meant that it became desperate.
Cold sweat broke furiously around his head. He realized that he couldn't hold on any longer. With the two girls in front of the mana-eater, there was no way that he could let up now. He closed his eyes while still holding his firm position. He felt a presence close to him and started talking to it.
"So, you've finally decided to come to me. How long did that take? You sure are reliant on my powers, Vince." Spoke the presence. It had the same voice as Vince, if not for the deeper voice pitch it has.
"Let's not talk about this. I need to borrow your powers."
"Heh, you sure are quick to the point. Well, not that it matters to me. I have been with you since that time, so I have no means of refusing what you ask. Just remember to not succumb to my powers. It's lonely in here."
"...Of course. Well, see you later then."
The dark aura in his fist slowly disintegrates. It was pushing Vince more now. Any minute now, it will break through his defense and crush the three, turning them into flat pancakes. But, just before it completely goes away, a miracle or sort happened. He opened his eyes abruptly. His whole iris now turned black and what seemed to be a lost just now became a victory for Vince. Now, surrounding his right arm is the same dark aura he emitted, however this time, it was more ominous.
Vince took a step forward, his breathing slowed down. The monster was pushed aback like it was nothing and soon, Vince had been holding the beast in place with his left palm. He pulled back his right hand, the fists engulfed in void. He took a moment to breath before launching his enormous counterattack. He punched the vortex that stood between them and it broke. The punch went through and sent the beast flying a miles behind. The grip on his right arm became more strong but the dark aura disappeared. Vince finally lost his stance and knelt down, trying to catch his breath. "Is it.... over now...?" Was what he thought. He figured that the mana-eater would be afraid and escape, but it never did.
Instead it rolled over and regained back its stance in an elegant flip. The eight eyes it has had became green. The eyes seemed as if it was swirling beautifully, like the Aurora. But, this beautiful eyes had to be distracted by the one most scariest thing to happen now; the legs that broke off earlier reattached itself back to its limb by a green essence. It slowly became bigger and bigger, until it was bigger than the wide street itself. It screeched and echoed throughout the ruins, causing some crows to fly off.
Vince was afraid. For the first in the longest time, he had seen something similar to back then. "Artificial... mana..." He mumbled. His legs were shaking heavily. More sweat broke out and chill ran down his spine. But, a voice brought him back to reality. He quickly slapped himself and told himself to calm down, before turning around to the girls. "It's transforming into a bigger form. For now, it still has to get used to the change and we can take this chance to escape. Down the hill behind it, where another member of the Guardian is, lies an opened manhole that leads us down the sewage. If we took that route, it wouldn't be able to follow us." He informed the two. He handed over a map to the girl that calls herself Liv. "Take this map and go. It's the map of the sewer and if you follow it, you might be able to get out. I know why you girls are here, but you'll have to ask that later. For now, run." He bawled his hands into a fist. "And don't even think about trying to help. You were lucky that you didn't get injured when you decided to help earlier, but not this time. You two will have to run. Get the boy down the hill too. He doesn't seem to know our plan." He ran and took a different route than the other two. He needed to distract the spider for their escape and if everything goes well, they would had reached the basement he himself wanted to go.
"I'll repeat again. Don't, follow me. It's for your own good."
