Change of plans. I have to get out of here in one piece. But according to the Book of Creatures, Spirit guardians cannot be killed, although I remember reading something about them having only one weakness. Fuck why do I always forget important things at the worst times.

A screeching sound came from the other side of the road. Shit, it’s face is more hideous than how it was described in the book. The creature’s body is like a deformed figure of a basilisk with a fish-like head and gills. It has no eyes and ears, but the book says it's sense of smell is heightened that it can track anything just by a whiff of its scent.

The sky became darker which only confirmed my suspicion. The Spiritus probably sent their pets first because they aren't bound to any laws, even in this realm. However, they are hidden warriors that is why there is a barrier shield right here. So that no one can interrupt our little fight. Just my luck.

I quickly unfastened the seatbelt and opened the glove compartment. The good thing about being hunted down and constantly on the run is that I never go anywhere without my weapons. I grabbed my fully loaded guns and hopped out of the car.

The windshields shattered as I opened the door, bits of glasses pierced my skin and blood oozed. The creature’s head snap to my direction.

I raised the gun and aimed at its head, I fired before I realized it did not even move a step, seemingly oblivious to my position. To my horror, the bullet only tore through the already-weak veil Andres casted around me, revealing my scent.

With a groundbreaking speed, the creature lounged at me with its mouth wide open. I dodged its attack and fired through its body. But it’s no use, the bullets cannot penetrate its thick scales. Its body circled around me, raising its head like it’s protecting it from my attacks.

From the corner of my eye, I saw its tail moving towards me. I ran to the opposite direction and blasted towards its body. The beast cried out, and I don’t think it’s from the pain. It slithered away and vanished from my sight, but I can’t be too careful.

If only I can get up close and pierce through its scales. I hastily unsheathed my dagger and casted a spell.

“Irue ud in piersi gua-an darage.” This spell was used by ancient Spirit woodcutters to amplify a blade’s pierce. I don’t know if this will work because I’ve never casted an amplifying spell before, but I have no choice.

After repeating the spell three times, the dagger glowed bright red. I was distracted for a while that I let my guard down and the beast appeared out of nowhere. It thrusted its tail into my stomach, and I was sent flying into the air. Blood spilled from my mouth as I heard my rib crack from the impact.

Ringing sound enveloped my ears and my vision became foggy. Suddenly, I’m pulled upside down from the ground. The creature’s sharp, grinding teeth sank deep into my left leg. I screamed from the pain as I thrashed from its mouth but it’s body only wrapped around me tightly, squeezing the air from my lungs. I gritted my teeth from the immense pain on my broken rib but I could feel my consciousness slipping away.

No. I can’t die here.

These beasts have one weakness. It’s attack mainly comes from its body and it’s keeping its head away every time it attacks. I clutched the dagger hard and stabbed its body over and over. For a moment, it loosened its grip around me but its teeth are still deep in my flesh.

Now’s my chance. With my last remaining strength, I kicked its mouth shut and pulled my legs free. Not wasting this momentum, I jumped at the top of its head and pierced the dagger through the back of its head.

The creature shook its head, and once again I’m thrown on the ground. I swear to god, this might be the most ribs I’ve cracked so far.

An ear-piercing shriek echoed through the sky as I witnessed the creature obliterate into pieces. I felt the ground shake beneath me but I’m too weak to get up. I watched the barrier dissipate from the sky.

Raindrops licked my face and I finally shut my eyes close as I let the exhaustion flood my senses.

At least I’m not dead. Yet.

Warm. I feel warm arms holding me. I’m not on the ground anymore? Moving. I’m moving? I force my eyes to open but I could only manage one eye. My vision is still blurry, but I could only make out a figure. A man is carrying me. But who? I tried to move only for my broken ribs to protest.

“Don’t move. Sleep.” His voice was hostile and commanding. My eyes involuntarily shut, and my senses completely shut down.
