Liz POVs

Liz and the others finally reached the middle of the road to the third intersection. Arrived – arrived Liz stopped because she heard the sound of footsteps. Then in the darkness appeared a Humanoid creature with the head of a Rat but has a human stature.

His eyes were red and his canines were more visible. The creature was more like a monster than when fighting with Liz earlier.

“ I will fight it," said Liz. "Klaus you take care of Ludwig and Amelia, Fran you look for loopholes when we fight,“ said Liz.

Fran and Klaus then nodded looking at a different side of Liz.

Liz then prepares her horse – and prepares to fight.

The creature also rubbed its claws against the wall while approaching them.

The silent atmosphere was only the sound of water whispering was heard.

‘ I'll kill the creature. I will be stronger than ever. This fight will bring me closer to my dream ‘ Liz rounded her resolve.

He then breathes in – deep. Then it glided swiftly towards the creature in front of him.

Clang!!! The clangg!!! Slassshh!! Liz slashed her sword accurately, but her opponent managed to fend it off well.

They attacked each other quickly.

Klaus, Fran and Ludwig who saw the fight to gape imagining ‘ is true this girl is only 12 years old ‘ They see Liz like a very trained swordsman.

Liz then held her sword with two hands and then tried to surpass it with strength. Clang!!! The clangg! The creature held Liz's slash with its claws. Sparks began to appear amidst the clash of their weapons. Liz continued to corner the creature, but – arrived her slash hit nothing.

Liz was surprised, the opponent who should be in front of her now disappeared.

But not long after that Liz felt someone behind her. The creature was about to thrust its paws into Liz's back.

And clang!!!! But Klaus manages to protect Liz and Fran prepares to perform her Backstab in the direction of the creature. The creature then twisted its body and kicked Fran's hand that was about to stab him.

“ Aghhhh “ Fran was thrown and his knife slipped from his hand.

“ Die you!!!! “ Klaus slashed his sword back at the creature, but it was dodged easily. The creature prepares to launch a counterattack on Klaus, but Liz swiftly blocks it. Klaus then retreated behind Liz.

“Fran what about your hand? “ Ask Liz.

“ Aghhh shit!!! I think my hand is broken “ Fran is holding her hand

“ Ludwig, Klaus and Fran go first, I'll try to hold him there.. “

But the creature did not let them discuss and then attacked Fran who was in pain. Clang!!! The clangg!!! The clangg!!! Liz swiftly restrained the creature.

“ Quicklahhhh!!! “ Liz Commands.

They nodded and began to run without denying it because their condition was crucial. The creature was silent to Fran and Ludwig, who were carrying Amelia away.

Liz only relied on a glimmer of lantern light tied to her belt. Only the sound of splashing water and their breathing was now heard in the waterways.

‘ This time, I will take out everything ‘

“ Accelerate “ Liz also activated the strengthening magic kemabli at her feet and then darted and again began to attack the creature in front of her. The slash after slash that Liz had launched. But no one has been able to touch the creature.

‘ Faster ‘ Liz's hands and feet begin to reveal an aura of magic. Liz then began to increase her slash speed. Swosshh!!! Slashhh!!! The creature begins to get overwhelmed with Liz's increasing speed. And not long after.

Crackk!!! The claw that held Liz's sword began to crack and Liz did not waste – this opportunity.

“ Rageeeee !!!! “ Liz then did a vertical slash towards her opponent.

SLASSSHHH!!!! CRACK!!! The creature's claws were crushed and Liz's slash was able to pierce through it and slash through his chest.

“ Ghhgguaahhh “ The creature backwards holding his chest in pain.

Liz was breathing heavily – puffed up after doing the attack bertubi – tubi earlier.

“ haa..haaaa..haaa “ Liz was then ready to return.

‘ No... no, the battle is not over do not let your guard down ‘ Liz commemorates herself.

‘ However now, he has no weapons to defend himself from my attack ‘

“ Awoooooo!!!! Grhhhhhhh “ Arrived – arrived the creature let out a strange howl, but not long after the wound he got began to heal and his claws began to grow back.

‘ Is that one of his abilities? ‘ Liz had already mentally prepared herself with the worst situation against an enemy that she did not know at all of her abilities.

Then the creature prepared to return to fight, this time he will gentian attack. He then darted to Liz showing his newly regrown sharp claws.

Liz then retreated jumping while fending off her claws. Clang!!! Clang !!! The clangg!!! Puncture by prick Liz avoid perfectly the difference of a single hair.

All the senses that Liz had were functioning to the maximum and her instincts began to sharpen in this fight.

It was no mistake that the current Liz had already grown stronger by many times compared to when she fought Hobgoblin back then. But the stamina of Liz and the creature was different, after 10 minutes of fighting, Liz began to show her limits. His magic faded and his defense weakened.

“ Bughhhggh “ The creature managed to land a kick to Liz's stomach which sent her bouncing.

Liz then held her stomach and looked over it, seen the creature was holding her hand about to finish her off. Liz closed her eyes and.

STABBB!!!! Blood poured onto the ground and a dagger was seen coming out from the creature's chest. Liz was surprised, someone managed to land a surprise attack on the creature.

“ Backstab-U successfully “

Liz also saw a familiar figure sticking a dagger from behind the creature she was fighting.
