"Let's see what I got!!" Alex chose to trust Lumiere since she saved her earlier. She then grabbed Ezekiel's weapon on the ground and faced the goblin shaman. Since it is impossible to dodge the lightning. She will focus on the ones she can avoid instead.
"HAHAHAHA!!!!" The goblin shaman continued to bombard his enemy to make sure that she wouldn't survive this time.
"DIE ALREADY, WOMAN!!!!!!"
"DIEEEEEEE!!!!!!"
"DIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"
Ezekiel rushed towards the goblin shaman seeing that he had gone crazy just to kill Alex. He needs to stop him from attacking to increase the chance of Alex surviving.
BANGGGGG!!!
BANGGGGG!!!
.BANGGGGG!!!
"You'll pay for this..." Alex grits her teeth as she endures the fire, ice, water, rock, and all kinds of magic that are thrown at her without a break. She was able to dodge and deflect some of the magics to the goblin shaman. But the lightning strikes she couldn't avoid ruined her physical state. She can feel the jolting and excruciating pain all over her body when she is struck by lightning.
The lightning strikes are also affecting her mental state. She can feel the jolting sensation more on her brain compared to the other parts of her body. Her brain felt like it was being stimulated, making it work faster than usual. But, the stimulation was too much for her brain. It felt like it would explode any second now from being overburdened.
BANGGGGG!!!
BANGGGGG!!!
BANGGGGG!!!
*Pant! *Pant! *Pant!
Alex clenched her staff as she struck an ice shard changing its trajectory back to the goblin shaman. Even though she was moving using minimal strength, she was still having a hard time breathing. Her enemy is not giving her a chance to take a break at all. The attacks kept on coming one after the other.
Each second she stays inside the vortex, her body is getting worse and worse. She felt that the lightning strikes were also affecting her internal organs. Making her movements become slower and slower.
Her body couldn't handle being pushed to the limits for almost an hour. And being struck by lightning a lot of times at the same time.
Even if she can only feel 30% of the pain. There's no way her body can endure being hit by multiple lightning strikes twice in a row. After all, one lightning strike can even kill a person in real life. And 30% of that pain, as well as getting hit multiple times by it, is nothing to scoff at. Besides her father, she can't think of any other person who can stay alive by getting hit by a lightning strike multiple times.
BANGGGGG!!!! Alex turned her body to the side as she barely dodged a huge boulder that grazed her right arm.
Alex planted her staff to the ground to assist her legs. She started feeling that her legs were now losing strength. However, the moment she lost focus on her surroundings. She was hit by a lightning strike and a fireball at the same time.
Her body started to fall down as she lost all the strength she had left. "Is this how far I can go..." Alex pondered.
She was so confident that she would dominate this game with how much she had improved these past two years. She thought that it would be a walk in the park. She expected some defeats along the way. But she would have never thought that her first defeat would be in the tutorial.
"First time losing for real in two years..." Alex mumbled for the last time as her eyes started to lose consciousness. While her body was slowly falling to the ground.
It frustrates her to lose this time. But she knew she needed it. After all, she reached a bottleneck a year ago. She became numb fighting and losing to her father again and again that she stopped growing. She just can't seem to see a day where she can beat her father fair and square. However, this time it's different. She can see herself growing more in the future. This is what she needs right now, a frustration that can be used as a motivation.
"HEAL!!!" When Alex was about to finally lose her consciousness. A worried voice echoed through her ears. Then a gentle and warm hand caught her body, stopping her fall. Then a relaxing and warm feeling spread all over her body. The headache she was feeling just a moment ago disappeared and was replaced with comfort.
"Hey, are you alright!?" Ezekiel grabbed his weapon first and carried Alex over his shoulders. He then ran away from the goblin shaman. He needs to make sure Alex doesn't get hit by any attack since she is now barely alive. He was glad that Alex managed to survive the goblin shaman's barrage of magic. As soon as he saw the clouds around Alex clear up. He immediately changed his plan from attacking the goblin shaman to saving Alex first.
"Uhmmm..." Alex grunts as her head is still disoriented. Ezekiel's healing is not instant. But it is still effective as she feels her strength coming back slowly.
When the goblin shaman saw the man running out of the cloud of dust carrying the woman. He can see that the woman is still alive despite how terrible she looks with burnt clothes, burnt skin, and messy burnt hair.
"IMPOSSIBLE!!!!"
"IMPOSSIBLE!!!!"
"IMPOSSIBLE!!!!"
"HOW CAN YOU STILL BE ALIVE!!!!!!" The goblin shaman is losing his mind right now with how hard it is to kill a single woman in a death's door. He is running out of time before chaos takes his life.
"DIE ALREADY HUMAN!!!!!!!!!!!"
"FLAME STRIKE!!!!"
"WATER ORB!!!!"
"ICE ORB!!!!"
"AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!"
"DON'T YOU DARE RUN AWAY!!!!!"
The goblin shaman chased seeing that the distance between them is getting farther and farther.
"Let's keep a distance for now and heal you up since we don't have any potions left with us." Ezekiel uttered as he dodged the goblin shaman's magic with ease. He is confident that the goblin shaman won't be able to touch them with how good he is at escaping. "Don't push yourself too hard. I'll take care of this for now."
"Uhmmmm... Thanks..." Alex muttered to his ears. She was grateful that Ezekiel was here. She thought that it was the end for her... a thing that she always experienced in Guardian losing alone and fighting alone.
"Treat me to a meal later," Ezekiel uttered as he tapped her back to heal her again. He just needed to heal her health back to a normal level before he would let her fight again.
She owes him a lot of things today, and she will definitely pay him back. "Uhmmm...." Alex answered before she lost consciousness.
