monster and magic (end, for now)

ลำดับตอนที่ #5 : Chapter 5 The voice within

   And background drawing is done, thank a lot Ava.

   If you still wondering how we record this voice mail. We just switch every 2 chapters.

   Back to the plot!

   We appeared in front of a huge marble made building. It's a museum.

   "I expect it but..." Ava said.

   Gamma leaded us to the entrance of the place where we found a guard standing.

   "Sorry sir, but the museum already closed."

   Gamma pulled out his wand and waved it in front of the guard.

   "No it not." Gamma said.

   "Really?" The guard asked, probably confused.

   "And it passed your shift, you should go home by now." Gamma added.

   "Oh yeah!" the guard said and walked away.

   Gamma smiled. "Just some neat trick."

   We quickly followed Gamma to the Egyptian zone of the museum. Where Gamma waved his wand in front of the statue of some sort and said something I can't understand. And suddenly the statue turned bright.

   "Now I only need to put in my magic power and set the cordinate, then we can get out of her..."

   An 1 inch radius rock hit his head, knocked him onto the ground.

   "Gamma!" I called, I knelled to catch his breath, he's still breathing, but unconscious.

   "What do we now!?" Asked Ava. Probably turned into her panic mode.

   I looked around for a convenient plot device, then I grabbed Gamma's staff and a sword on the podium and put it each in my hands. "You try open the portal, I will hold the enemies off."

    I looked around for attacker, and indeed I found. About 5 humanoid looking monster was running this way. It's as tall as me, about 5 foot 4 inches, they had a black skin, a not-that-good-looking face. An ogre, I think. They wore a thick armor, probably leather, and their weapons is swords.

   I looked at what I had, Gamma staff might be some use, but I had no idea how it works. I got a double edge 3 foot sword with a pointy tip, a Gradius, it's the thing that Roman used. I had no idea why it in the Egyptian zone though.

   In the background, I heard Ava something like "Open! you stupid door!"

   The ogres ran toward me, pointing their swords to me.

   "Dodge" the voice told me. So I walked back a step before the ogre slashed the sword in front of me.

   I stabbed in to the ogre arm and cut though it like butter.

   I means literally, its arm was that easy to cut off.

   You see, I wasn't a strong guy, I  didn't played any sport. but I felt like I was 10 time stronger from my former self, like a adrenaline pumping  though my vein, and I felt like the odd was in my favuor today.

   Another ogres jumped  to the left and then attacked me, and I have no time to blocked.

   "Clipeum" the voice told me. Probably a magic this time.

  "Clipeum!" I repeated. And suddenly Gamma staff turned bright, the ogre was knocked back 7 feet likes it hit an invincible shield.

   I suddenly felt tired, like I just run 5 miles without stopping. It when I thought that the magic took most of my power when I suddenly felt energize and ready to fight again.

   "Confodere" the voice told me another magic. And I felt like it was offensive type this time.

   "Confodere!" I shouted, an aura of my sword appeared. It fly to stabbed one of the ogre, when it hit, the ogre turned into a pile of dust.

   "How did you do that!" Ava confusingly asked.

   "I don't know, just try opened the portal!"

The fight continue with the voice inside me feeding a magic words and good advice. Every time I cast a magic, I felt I had no strength left, and 1 second later I backed to normal.

   "Sagitta" I cast a magic, 50 arrow appeared out of thin air and it was shoot into the ogres. Make them screamed by pain like it burn.

   I was stabbing the last ogre to death when Ava said. "Yes!"

   In front of the statue appeared something black-hole-like hole. Like a dust storm, but it's too small, it was only half foot radius. We can't get through it.

   "We don't have enough magic power." Said Ava.

   I heard a rumble on the floor, like 100 monsters was running this ways. Even right now I was in my berserk mode I couldn't possibly fight them all.

   So I did what came to my head. I hold her hand.

  Okay, warning first, I didn't do it romantic way, it just every cartoon I watch in my youth always gathering magic by holding hand together, this wasn't that type of story, okay!?5

   But it worked, the portal grew larger, big enough to let us though.

   Ava flicked my hand away. "Let's go."

   We dragged Gamma unconscious body though the portal. In the first step though it, we been sucked into the void of brightness. There a different voice inside my head asking "Where do you wish to go?"

   "As far from here as possible!"
