The ship is done for.
Leviathan launched several attacks on our cabin in which Sly hurriedly pulled me as we run towards the deck.
I almost lost my balance while running because I was wearing a maxi dress and the stupid hem of the dress somehow wrapped around my ankle. In my frustration, I asked Sly if he can cut the length of my dress in which he hurriedly tore off a huge chunk of my dress.
He somehow liked what he did as his eyes started to show intense desire towards me.
A loud crash somehow brought us back to our senses in which he hurriedly carried me in his one arm as his other hand carried his weapon. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he flew up in the air, just as the tail of Leviathan crushed the area to where we just stood on earlier.
There I can see Leviathan as it rose above the water, roaring as it tried to destroy the rest of the ship.
Meanwhile, another massive serpent rose from the sea in which its tail started to coil around the front of the ship.
Both of them are humongous as for instance, just imagine the size of Alpha in his regular form, who is the tallest among the group, being a mouse in which the size of the guardian monster is like the size of a fully matured python.
Yep.
You get the picture.
But I decided to have faith in their capabilities as they have been training nonstop.
That's the best I could do in this situation.
....
As Sly tried to avoid the mouth of Leviathan as it kept trying to eat us, I saw Lion trying to fly towards us in which he kept attacking the monster's body using a lightning attack.
Bahar is attacking the other serpent, in which I presumed is Midgardsormr, with difficulty as the monster kept attacking by releasing fire from its mouth.
Orm and Alpha are using their magic to attack the two monsters' tails as it kept attacking the ship in which I think is about to get destroyed.
Ghost, with his ability to jump at high distances, kept attacking Midgardsormr's body using his weapon as the magic from Orm and Alpha cannot penetrate the monster because of its impenetrable scales.
The ship is about to break!
Alpha, Orm and Ghost cannot fly so it is crucial for me to think of a way to save them or else they will fall into the sea.
The sea itself is becoming more violent as Leviathan's appearance causes catastrophic effect to the environment.
Think, think, think!
Time is ticking.
Wait.
Sly can transform into his dragon form!
The three of them, including me, can ride on Sly's back!
And from there, Ghost can use Sly's back as a source of platform in which he can jump to safety after launching attacks towards the monsters.
After ensuring the trio's safety, I can plan a strategy to destroy the guardian monsters based on what I learned from the fantasy books that I read about.
Convincing Sly to drop me is a problem though.
But I have to try as the ship is breaking apart.
Sly looked at me with horror as I asked him to drop me. He was about to protest when I suddenly kissed him on the cheek, telling him to place his faith on me.
He smiled bravely at me while his eyes looked scared as he embraced me tightly. I told him to transform into his dragon self and rescue the trio as soon as he drop me.
I can tell he is reluctant to drop me in which I have to take drastic measures.
Forgive me Sly.
With desperate strength, I pushed him hard in which he lost his grip on me.
As I was falling down, I called Lion with all my strength, reaching my arm towards him as he flew towards me in increasing speed.
I can hear Sly transforming himself into his dragon form and I can feel myself at ease, as the safety of the trio is assured.
Lion finally caught me in his arms, panting as he kept nuzzling my neck, asking me why I pushed Sly earlier. He started to scold me for my reckless action when I suddenly kissed him and wrapped my arms around his neck.
He passionately kissed me back before remembering that we are in the middle of the battle against the guardian monsters.
He reluctantly pulled away from the kiss, telling me that he will continue what we are doing after the battle.
Good thing that I drank Sly's blood earlier.
I then told him about my plan.
....
Ghost, Alpha and Orm are already on Sly's back, waiting for me as Lion placed me in front of Orm, who held me as he used his tail to secure himself to Sly.
I then told everyone about the plan.
Except for Bahar who was engrossed in attacking the Midgardsormr that he didn't see us.
May he get eaten.
Or burned into a crisp.
I told them that Bahar is doing a pretty good job at distracting the Midgardsormr so we can focus on attacking Leviathan first.
Leviathan can breathe out fire so we need someone to make sure that he doesn't do that. Only by beheading Leviathan can we kill the monster but someone also has to make sure that the head doesn't reattach to its neck. It uses its tail to do massive damage attacks so someone also has to prevent it from attacking the rest of us.
Leviathan is invulnerable against piercing attacks so we need to find a way to make our weapons penetrate its hide in order to slice off its head.
Hmmm.
Wait.
Bludgeoning damage!
Ghost's weapon!
That's it!
....
Good thing that Ghost can jump at high distances too.
He was assigned to bludgeon the monster's neck as Orm can do magic to prevent the monster from breathing fire towards him.
Alpha can do combative damage so he is assigned to make sure the tail doesn't hit any of us.
The tail can hit Bahar as much as the monster wants but Bahar is far from us to my great disappointment.
As soon as Ghost can destroy the shell around its hide, Lion can slice off the head of the monster using his weapon.
With his magic, he can also do something about burning the monster's neck to prevent the head from reattaching itself towards it.
It's a huge gamble but we have to try.
Imagining them as mice trying to attack a massive python brought a smile to my face as I thought about the ridiculousness of it.
Oh well.
This is a different reality after all.
Yey.
....
At my signal, everyone got into position.
I told them to do their best in which everyone grinned at me.
Then I told Ghost to go hit the monster's neck as if he was hitting Bahar.
With an excited yell, he jumped.
Lightning sparks flew from his weapon when he hit the monster's neck in which we heard a massive crack coming from the monster's neck. Lion immediately flew towards him and pulled his arm as they went back towards us.
Alpha kept hitting the monster's tail using his magic as it started to thrash around after Ghost landed a strike on its neck.
The monster was about to breathe fire towards Lion and Ghost when Orm used water and ice elemental magic alternately.
Good.
Everything seems to be working fine.
After several rounds of trying to hit the monster's neck, Ghost finally managed to destroy a huge part of the shell that surrounded the monster's neck in which Lion positioned himself to launch a massive attack against the monster. Purplish flames started to emit from his katana as he was planning to do both attacks simultaneously.
Then with a cold look in his eyes, he flew towards the monster while holding his katana in an attack stance, slicing the neck as if he was slicing butter despite the monster's massive size.
Then in an instant, purplish flames started to burst out of the monster's neck in which the monster gave a dying roar before the head fell towards the sea.
At my command, Lion, Orm and Alpha used magic attacks to destroy the entire body and the head of the monster then Sly made the final blow by breathing fire towards it in which it became small pieces of ashes that fell down towards the sea.
They did it.
They really did it.
Everyone cheered as they panted.
Then we heard Midgardsormr's roar in which everyone groaned.
Ghost grinned and asked everyone if they should let Bahar deal with it by himself in which everyone agreed until we saw Bahar in a really bad shape.
Also, we do need the other piece as only a tiny piece of the shard appeared after destroying Leviathan.
The last shard was broken into two, that's why we needed to destroy the Midgardsormr too.
Sigh.
Why can't Bahar kill it by himself?
After a brief rest, we headed towards Bahar, much to our reluctance.
