The First Dragon God

The ground quaked beneath her feet as the berserk boar charged, its bloodshot eyes locked onto her.

Ves stood rooted, her body tense but her mind focused, each second stretching into an eternity.

'Wait... not yet... now!'

With a sudden burst of movement, she sidestepped just as the boar's tusks tore through the space where she'd been standing.

The force of the missed charge caused the Boar to slam into the building behind her, sending a shockwave rippling through the air.

A loud rumbling sound was heard as the building shook and small, almost invisible cracks started forming on its surface.

Immediately, Ves countered as she rushed at the Boar, dropping low into a controlled slide, the rough ground scraping at her legs as she shot beneath the hulking beast.

Ves slid into position beneath the towering beast, the pungent heat of its massive body pressing down on her.

But Ves didn't waste the opening. Without hesitation, she sprinted forward, dropping low into a controlled slide, the rough ground scraping at her legs as he shot beneath the hulking beast.

She wasted no time as she punched upward, her fist connecting with the soft underbelly of the Boar.

Ves' fingers still hasn't healed completely and her action caused the wound to reopen, and a fresh wave of pain to wash wash over her. Her eyes nearly went white from the pain but she bit her lips, forcing herself to stay sane.

She sited a gash on the Boar's underbelly, immediately followed up with a clawing attack with her second hand, targeting the gash.

She plunged her fingers into the tear, feeling the warm, sinewy flesh close around his fingers, as her fingers penetrated its flesh and embedded half of their length into it.

She tried to push it harder but the underbelly was tougher than she expected, and her fingers could go no further.

In addition to that, the embedded fingers kept sending nearly unbearable pain throughout her body. The only reason she hasn't lost consciousness is because she kept continuously biting her lips.

The mutant boar bellowed in pain as blood sprayed across the rubble-strewn ground. It started thrashing wildly, its hooves slamming into the ground just inches from her head.

Gritting her teeth, Ves struck again. She yanked her hand out of the wound and repeated the same set of attack again.

Her fist and fingers continuously penetrated the Boar's flesh, slightly widening the gash and and causing blood to pour from it.

But the boar wasn't finished. It reared back, roaring with fury. Realizing the danger, Ves rolled to the side just as the beast's, nearly two elephants sized body, crashed down, missing her by a hair's breadth.

Boom!

A loud explosion shook the surroundings, followed by a quake that nearly caused the building the Boar initially slammed into, to collapse.

In one fluid motion, Ves used the momentum of her roll to kick himself upright, flipping onto her feet, and her claws still extended, waiting for opportunity for another attack.

The next moment, she saw a figure pass her in almost a blur, followed by a short gust of wind.

'Leo.' she smiled to herself.

Leo arrived at the side of the Boar and slashed at its belly. The pain from the Boar's first attack still continued to racked his body, but he didn't pay attention to it.

The Boar still lying on its injured underbelly was unable to dodge the attack. The force of the slash penetrated its thick hide, tearing into the muscle beneath, with its thick fur doing nothing to stop it.

It roared in pain again and tried to stand up, but Leo wasn't going to allow it. He attacked again but this time he went for its head.

He slashed its neck, leaving a deep gash from which blood splattered before turning into a steady flow. He didn't paused as he attacked again, the same place.

He slashed at the deep gash again, widening it and causing even more blood to flow from it. He continued slashing with no intention of stopping.

The Boar was on the ground, continuously roaring in pain and anger. It tried to attack but with its current position and how Leo was attacking it without rest, it couldn't.

It could only continue to roar in pain and anger. As time went on, its roar started losing their intensity and with a few more slash from Leo, it let out a whimper as it took its last breath and slumped to the ground.

As the Boar went silent, the familiar screen popped up again but Leo didn't pay it attention, as he looked up to the sky and the rain that was hitting his face.

He has never for once imagined his life would be like this one day. Fighting a monster on the brink of death for survival.

Before the world ended, he was just a boy who was about to start leaving his dream adult life in the real society. Though, he still has those dreams, they have changed in a lot of ways, just like everything around him.

Leo gasped for air, every breath a jagged knife in his ribs, compounded by his broken ribs that seems to be digging into his skin, and his internal organs.

Pain continued to rack his body but in light of all that, a bright smile was on his face.

Both he and Ms Ves nearly died from fighting the Mutant Boar but he was happy. He was happy that they were still alive.

Even though the both of them still has grave injuries, the fact that they were still alive means a lot.

Leo slumped to the ground, the rain mingling with the blood splattered across his face.

Ms Ves stumbled over to him, her voice trembling.

"You did it, Leo."

He looked up at her, his smile faint but genuine.

"We did it."
