The mutated villains had gained the upper hand. They were defeating the students and making most of them towards the more powerful ones. And soon, only Amanda, Anna, and Micheal were left fighting the mutated villains.
The rest, as mentioned, were brutally defeated and had received major injuries. Will the three companions be able to hold off the villains?
*****
Anna jumped into the air and kicked one of the mutated villains, sending his head flyings into the sky. Although the villains were stronger and faster now, their bodies were easily breakable. So even a basic kick from Anna could break off their heads.
As she landed on the ground, a voice called out to her.
"Tired?" Anna turned her head, her gaze meeting Micheal.
"Not yet," she answered, shifting her gaze from her brother to Amanda.
Amanda was in her [Phase 2: Wateroctopus] form. She waved her arm, causing the tentacle to move in response. The gesture sent multiple villains flying. Some found their bodies breaking apart.
"She's amazing, isn't she?" Anna asked Micheal. Her brother walked up to her and placed her hand on her shoulder.
"So are you," Anna let out a sigh before forcing Micheal's hand off.
She stood up, her energy radiating off her. She focused her energy, causing it to concentrate around her arm. But shortly after, the energy disappeared.
This was Anna's problem. No matter how hard she tried, how much she worked, her energy would always die out. Like a candle without wax.
"You'll get there. I believe in you," Micheal tried cheering up his sister. Anna didn't respond. She pondered on who to ask for advice.
But then something hard hit her, causing her to fall backwards. It was Amanda.
"Amanda, what's wrong?" Micheal questioned.
Amanda was slightly bruised. She got up, helping Anna as well. But before Amanda replied, a loud roar echoed through the large hall.
Micheal turned his gaze towards the source of the roar, and he was met with a large monster (about 213cm/7 feet in height).
The monster had two arms and two legs like any other human. But it was a dark maroon in colour, and it was drenched in the scarlet liquid Dihenix used to convert the villains into these monsters.
"What is that?" Anna muttered in shock.
"Each and every monster I defeated came back together. And this time, I couldn't defeat it alone..." Amanda answered, recalling the monster breaking her out of her phase with a single attack.
Micheal began channelling his energy into his hands, and shortly after, they grew green scales and claws.
Micheal began charging towards the monster at full force. He leapt into the sky and roared loudly as he clawed at the monster.
The monster parried the attack with its own hand before brutally smashing the boy into ground. It kept on landing multiple attacks, with both feet and hands.
Blood painted the monster's limbs. It grabbed Micheal by his bloody face and lifted him to the sky. The monster raised its fist, ready to deal the finishing blow.
"No!!" Anna cried out. The monster looked at Anna with the corner of its eye before turning its attention to Micheal again.
The monster's eyes gleaned at the sight of Micheal's blood. It pulled back its arm, a malevolent energy forming around it. And finally it attacked...
