Chapter 13 Flake shield

"This must be a fucking joke, right?"
The long-haired boy says that, while his whole body trembles at the sight of the danger that is approaching him.
A large number of beasts are approaching swimming at full speed towards the position where the boy is standing.
Within the horde of beasts, 3 different types of lizards can be distinguished.
The first type of lizard could be considered the common type. Since it is the one that walks on 2 legs and has a morphology too similar to the human.
The second type is the strange lizard that swims on 4 legs, has a very strange structure in its neck that allows it to levitate and worst of all, spews acid from its mouth.
And the third type has not been seen so far, so it is not known what it is capable of, its appearance is very similar to the second type, but with the difference that its legs are much shorter and has a much more scaly skin, but the most frightening of all is its jaw, which is too large and long, it also has much sharper teeth than the other types of beasts.
"That kind of beast I haven't seen before..."
"It produces too much fear just by looking at its physical appearance."
"What will be its way of killing humans?"
"I'd rather not find out..."
The boy says all that to himself, while remaining mainly expectant of the new type of beast that has just appeared.
This beast has something special for the long-haired boy, and that is that it makes him panic much more than the other beasts.
In addition, the mouths of these new beasts are full of blood, as if they had devoured humans very recently.
"I must escape now..."
"I'm in no condition to fight right now."
The boy says that, while trying to turn around to run, as it is too large a number of beasts, that it is too exhausting to count them all.
So it would also be practically suicide for the boy to decide to take on that many by himself.
"I'm sorry, but it would be best to escape from this fight as soon as possible."
The boy begins to slowly turn around to swim away.
But his face looks unsure about it. So that a worry becomes very visible on his face.
Subsequently, he swims a little, but stops immediately and directs his gaze again towards the horde of beasts that is getting closer and closer to him.
Then, he clenches his jaw tightly and his brow furrows as he looks out into the depths of the sea.
"Even if I try to leave right now, I can't do it."
"I can't leave Froilan alone in this place..."
"I know he's still alive, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep breathing underwater."
The long-haired boy begins to question his own actions of trying to escape, as he thinks again about where his brother is at this very moment.
He looks repeatedly at the bottom of the sea, which is almost completely dark, while the possibility of Froilán being there comes to his mind.
The boy tenses every muscle in his body, as he prepares to do something extremely stupid.
"I'll have to do it..."
"Even if I die trying..."
The boy closes his eyes and directs his wooden staff backwards.
"Water Impulse."
The boy launches a water attack to give himself forward speed and swim much faster.
In a short time the boy dives deeper and deeper into the water, until he reaches a point where the sunlight reaches only certain parts of the sea.
The boy stops and begins to look everywhere to see if he can see anything shiny, since Froilán's armor, being shiny, will be easy to detect in the dark.
"Froilan!"
"Are you in this place!"
"It's about time to get the hell out of here already!"
The long-haired boy shouts at the top of his lungs trying to make sure his brother can hear him.
At the same time you can also notice his voice is too shaky, because since there is so much darkness, it is very likely that a beast will attack him by surprise.
The boy is also very attentive to his surroundings. So despite not seeing too much of his surroundings due to the lack of light, he is becoming very aware of the sounds below the sea.
"Come on Froilán..."
"Please answer..."
"I know you are alive..."
The boy mutters that, while in his face there is worry and fear.
It generates too much panic in the boy this situation because he does not stop shaking at any time.
"PLURPPP!"
Then, the sound of the sea crashing together is heard.
The boy automatically looks up, which is where the sound is coming from.
He keeps his gaze on the area of the sound for a moment, as it may be a beast, as it may also be Froilan who managed to hear it.
The boy constantly swallows saliva, while attentively observing the movements produced by the water. For something is approaching him.
"Come on Froilán..."
"I trust it's you..."
The boy mutters that, while the object that is producing that movement is getting closer and closer to him.
"GUARGHHH!"
In front of him appears a beast emitting a sound extremely annoying to the ear, generating an annoyance after hearing it.
The beast Possesses 4 legs and has a gigantic jaw with an impressive amount of teeth, not to mention that its size is around 3 and a half to 4 meters.
This is the same beast. Which the boy wished he didn't run into.
"Haaaaaaaaa!"
The boy shouts aggressively as he brings his wooden staff forward to make an attack.
He must try to attack before the beast splits him in 2 with its gigantic jaw.
The beast keeps its jaw open at all times as it swims towards him.
The beast's purpose is to bite the boy to kill him on the spot.
"Water pulse!"
The boy launches a gigantic attack. Which, with all the mass of water it carries, completely covers the beast, disappearing from sight for a few seconds.
"Fuuuuuuuu!"
"Fuuuuuuuu"
The boy sighs agitatedly many times, for 2 seconds after launching the attack.
"Will that attack have been enough?"
Because the beast still doesn't appear and the effect of the bubbles after the attack don't allow to visualize too much, the boy starts to question whether the beast is alive or dead.
"I think I killed it..."
"It's impossible for it to be alive, considering that a direct attack on the other beasts was enough to destroy their hearts."
"It definitely has to be dead..."
The boy finally exclaims that and begins to regain his composure.
"GLURPPPPPP!"
Then, again the beast appears, swimming towards him again, as if nothing had happened.
"What?"
The boy says that one word, while his whole face is paralyzed as he sees that the beast has no wounds, absolutely no scratches on its body, as if the attack was nothing.
The very possible attack stunned it for a few seconds and that's why it didn't appear earlier.
"Impossible..."
"What is this damn beast made of..."
The boy says that, while showing a very big expression on his body, seeing that the scales that this beast has, look much, much drier and harder than those of the other beasts. So it will be much more difficult to break through its skin with a simple attack.
"Damn it!"
"Water pulse!"
"Water pulse!"
"Water pulse!"
The boy curses the beast, while in his desperation he launches 3 consecutive attacks with the purpose of damaging the beast.
The attacks only stopped it for a few reduced seconds, but subsequently it continues swimming to attack the boy.
"Shit!"
The boy again screams, while the beast is already only a few centimeters away from him.
Panic again takes hold of him. Since his specialty is ranged attacks. Moreover, those attacks he launched were useless against this beast, therefore, he was left without any idea to be able to react.
"Haaaaaaa"
He subsequently shakes his head to all sides, while stiffening his right fist.
The purpose of doing this, was to make himself react to the shock that again caused him excessive fear.
"Take this!"
The boy, with no more ideas, throws a clenched fist punch straight into the side of the beast's jaw.
"Haaaaaa"
"Crack!"
As soon as the punch hit against the beast's jaw, the bones in his hand, along with the armor located on his hand, emitted a frightening sound as if they were about to crack.
As the blow begins to impact against the beast's jaw, the boy performs more and more force, to the point where the veins and pressure on his face begins to become noticeable.
The boy must be feeling an awesome weight, which he must throw away in order to save his life.
"PLASH!"
Finally, with the blow he delivered to the beast he manages to move it a small distance to the boy's left, but with its gigantic jaw it can still bite his legs.
After the blow, the boy was smart and used the very momentum that would cause him the weight of the beast, to move away to the right.
"¡¡!!"
The beast, just closes its jaw to try to bite both of the boy's legs, but the boy managed to get out of the way in time. The beast only manages to bite the boy's non-existent feet.
As the boy is propelled to the right, he begins to see several pieces of the armor located on his hand come off.
"Huh?"
At the same time, he also noticed something else very important.
And that is that among the pieces of armor scattering in the water there are also parts of the beast's scales.
So that the close blow to the beast, allowed him to remove a very small part of the cover that protects it from attacks.
The boy came to the above conclusion because he also directed his gaze towards the giant-jawed beast, which has a green-colored skin exposed right where he performed the blow.
"It's time to attack!"
The boy shouted that, while quickly aiming at the beast again with his wooden staff.
This time he holds his arm steady completely, just aiming at the small area that is without scales.
"Water shot!"
He launches a water attack, this time much thinner, with the purpose of only attacking the sensitive area of the beast.
"¡¡!!"
The shot impacts against the beast that made no effort to dodge the attack.
The attack caused a small cloud of bubbles which again covered the beast's vision.
"Come on..."
"It should be bleeding by now this damn beast..."
The boy decides to remain expectant for the fall of blood coming from some open wound, but the sea is still in its same color, without yellow tints.
"You always manage to impress me in a new way..."
Those words come out of the boy's mouth, as soon as the beast starts swimming away from him, with absolutely no scratches on his body.
Even the area where it previously produced damage to him with the blow, is in perfect condition.
"You're not going anywhere, you damned demon!"
The boy shouts that, as he returns he prepares to launch a new attack on the beast. For while his attacks did not do any damage to it, he was able to stun it for small periods of time.
"GLURPP!"
"GLURPP!"
The boy begins to hear the sound of a giant object approaching above him.
"¡¡!!"
Then, he moves his gaze up a bit and sees the giant jaw of a beast of the same type that is approaching at a great speed to bite the area of his arm.
Based on the distance the beast is from him, it is noticeable that he won't have enough time to throw an attack to propel himself backwards.
"Haaaaaaaaa"
So, the boy decides to opt for a more traditional method. So he brings his arms to his sides and performs an aggressive forward movement with them.
Subsequent to doing that, his body moves backwards a bit.
"¡¡!!"
The boy managed to avoid the attack of the beast that was approaching by surprise, but the fright made his heart beat much faster. For the beast passed by just a few inches in front of him.
Then, the boy began to visualize both in front and downward. With the purpose of finding the new location of the beasts, but due to the small amount of light in that area of the sea, he could not see too much.
Subsequently, the boy began to move his arms to float backwards.
He did this, due to the fact that it is better to slowly move away from the area and at the same time keeping his eyes fixed on the areas where the beasts might be.
"¡¡!!"
Then, after a short while, he came in contact with something large in size. Which prevented him from backing up any further.
The boy was immediately frightened, as he instantly understood what that object was about.
At the same time he moved a little away from the object due to the collision he had with it.
Then he began to lift his face with the idea of seeing exactly the face of the beast.
There he realized that to his luck, the beast that is situated behind him. It is the same one with which he was fighting higher up in the sea, therefore, if he makes a quick attack he will damage it almost instantly.
Subsequently, the beast raises its arm and lowers its fingers a little, pointing its claws straight down.
Then you can see how the claws begin to grow on its fingers.
The plan of the beast, is to use its claws to attack the boy's face and make him completely lose his vision due to the damage it would cause to both eyes.
"¡¡!!"
The beast performs a straight downward strike, rapidly approaching towards the boy's face.
The boy reacts out of reflex and instantly aims for the beast's arm.
"Water shot!"
He launches an attack right at the forearm area. So that it cuts off a large part of the arm.
"GARHHHHH!"
It's impressive the amount of blood that comes out of the beast's arm, it's impossible to believe that amount of blood came out from cutting off an arm.
"Huh?"
But something unexpected happens...
The beast's arm due to its weight, keeps falling in the direction towards the boy's face.
"It can't be..."
"I won't be able to push it away."
The arm points its nails directly towards the boy's eyes.
"¡¡!!"
"ARGHHH!"
Then, the arm makes a cut on the surface of the eyelid of the eyes. So that the eyes are covered with blood right away.
The boy subsequently slaps his hand on the beast's arm to throw it away and subsequently brings the same hand to his face to try to get the blood out of his eyes.
The boy then uses his feet to strike the beast's abdomen and thrust backwards in an attempt to get away from it.
The boy is now completely blinded with blood in his eyes. So he desperately tries to remove it from his eyes but the wound as it is open, again covers his eyes again.
"Shit!"
"This can't be happening!"
The boy begins to scream at the despair of not being able to clean his eyes, plus the salt from the sea causes a great burning in the wound.
"GLURP!"
"GLURP!"
Then, a large number of objects moving through the sea begin to be heard around the boy.
He tries to look everywhere, but can't see anything.
Then, completely ignoring the burning and with bloodshot eyes he decides to look around, only to see a large amount of acid spewing beasts surrounding him.
"I've had enough of you damn demon spawn..."
"If you want to murder me do it now!"
"I'm waiting for you!"
