Doomsday Pillars

Chapter 117 - Christina



RRRRRR... GROAARRR

The black monster was a second stage mutated zombie, just like the one Alex fought at Randall's office, but this was the first one ever seen in Singapore, none of the fighters here knew about it.

SPLAT!! SMASH!

The pitch black abomination grabbed the nearest fighter, chomped on his head and spit him out like candy.

The monster's every step would crush human fighters, it's every smash would cost a life, it's every move brought despair to the men.

Tratatatatatatat Tratatatattata

None of the assault rifle bullets worked, sniper rifles or machine gun .50 cal would hurt it, but the machine guns that were installed on the vehicles were the first things the monster destroyed, it was as if the monster knew about it. None of the melee fighters were able to stop it..

Unconsciously a hundred men slowly moved back little by little from the battle. With the men getting pushed back, the zombies became more aggressive. More red and normal zombies were coming out and pushed through the line.

"What the fuxx is that thing?! How are we going to fight that?"

The black zombie kept attacking and no one seemed to be able to stop it. One of the military unit men took out a box. Inside there was a rocket launcher. He quickly loaded one of the rockets.

"AIMMM and FIRE!"

SHHHUUUHH

The rocket flew right at the black monster. But the monster could see it and was able to swiftly dodge it.

KABOOOOOM.!!

The rocket blew up right inside the ION shopping mall. Glass shattering, fire burning. There was now a big fiery hole at one side of the famous shopping center.

A figure moved really fast closing into the black zombie. It's Corrie the firebird long-haired girl with her crescent blade, she's a wind type spirit enhancer. Naturally, she's the fastest fighter in the field. She saw an opening and she took it. She advanced with her fastest speed and took a full low sweep to the monster's feet trying to lose its balance.

SWISHHH!!! Paa!!

The blade staggered like hitting a rock.

Watching the scene Christina worriedly shouted:

"Corrie! Watch out!!"

The black zombie counter-attacked using both of its hands trying to grab Corrie, the monster's speed was not any slower than her, she was barely able to dodge, she turned around and took another swing. This time with full power to the monster neck

SWISHHH!! Paa!!

Same result. No use, but this time the monster's arm was able to grab her waist.

"!!!"

"AAAHHHH"

Corrie threw up blood, the black monster tried to squeeze her dead, but while it focused its attention to the speedy spirit enhancer, the monster didn't realize another figure already standing next to it.

It's Maxine, the tall girl who is an earth spirit enhancer she gathered all her power into the two huge steel rods and smashes them both into the monster's arm.

CRACKKK!!!

The heavy blow broke its target, the monster shouted in pain as it released its prey. The monster's right arm looked disjointed.

"It worked!!"

A big smile came from Maxine's face when she was about to hit the monster the second time, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She hesitated for a second.

The monster's scream suddenly stopped, one of the monster's arms turned into a huge blade and it surprisingly cut its own disjointed arm...

"!!!'

Next, just within a few seconds, a new arm started to regenerate.

Seeing the scene, Maxine was frozen to the ground. The black zombie swung down its blade arm slashing at her... SLASSSHH!!

The hit would have killed her instantly, luckily Corrie swiftly snatched her away. The huge monster was mad and decided to give them a chase... Corrie knew if she ran to the fighters, more people would die. She could only run and dodge in a circle.

Christina couldn't let both of her newfound comrades die, so she decided to move in and help. But the two swords on her arm were already burned to a crisp and became unusable. This was the after-effect of her ability.

Since she reached peak stage Mortal Realm, she was able to burn objects with her hand. She has the ability to cause matter to burst into flames. Her special power increased the kinetics of atoms and molecules causing an item to ignite. Every time she uses her power, she would eventually destroy her weapon.

Christina quickly walked to the colonel.

"Give me your knife!!"

She didn't wait for his answer and quickly grabbed the half meter huge combat knife. Just before she turned, suddenly the colonel grabbed her arm.

"Don't be stupid, you can't win against that, come with me!! We should leave now!!"

Christina only stared at her ex-husband with disgust, she released herself from his grab, apparently, she's physically stronger than him. This startled the colonel.

Christina didn't want to waste her time talking to him. Her friends were in danger. She turned around and reach out onto Jenny, the scar-faced woman holding an assault rifle.

Jenny is a weapon expert, after talking to Christina, she quickly took off approaching the man with the Rocket launcher, grabbed it and moved to the rescue.

She's closing in while pouring in the assault rifle bullets right into the monster's face.

Taratatatatatat Tratatatatataat

It somehow managed to distract the monster from chasing its prey, it turned around and looked at the scarfaced women aiming at it with the rocket launcher.

AIMMM FIREE!!!

Looking at the scene, Colonel Ronny could only feel disappointed by how useless that action is. The Rocket launcher doesn't fly fast enough, not only would the monster dodge it, but it could also endanger the other fighter.

When the rocket launched, everyone held their breath...

SSSHHHHHUUSSS!!

And just as expected the monster dodged it easily... but

After shooting the Rocket, Jenny quickly dropped the launcher and raised both her hand. Blood could be seen dripping from her nose. Suddenly, the flying rocket changed its course.

It turned around in curve and directly hit the monster's back.

KABBBOOOOMMMM!!!!

All the spectators cheered seeing the big blast. Jenny's special power was what the science knew as telekinesis, the ability to move or maneuver an object with the mind. It seems Jenny was one of the rare psychic spirit enhancers. She forced herself to move the heavy rocket, the act took all her energy away. Although it seems that it will be the only psychic move she could do today, the result was worth it. The hundred plus men were cheering at the unbelievable sight.

But in one corner, Christina kept charging the combat knife with her special ability. She refused to believe that the hit would kill that monster... And just as she tought.. The people's cheering faded together with the clearing of the smoke.

The huge monster dropped on its knees crouching on the ground. A huge blast wound could be seen on its back, there was a huge chunk of the monster's back missing... But the monster still slowly moved.

The scary part was that the people could see the blast wound was slowly regenerating, the black colored liquid seemed to be moving around its back and slowly covered it up to cure the wound.

Christina knew that this time it's her turn.

Christina rushed out with the burning red combat knife. She quickly hopped and jumped on top of the monster's shoulder, just behind its head.

She held the huge knife tight with both of her arms, she screamed with the top of her lungs, the knife's flame was fiercely burning. Using the full power of a peak mortal realm strength, she quickly pierced the knife straight at the monster's brain.

PAAAKKK!!!

It went in inside the head.

GRRROOAAARRR

To everyone's shock.. apparently, the stab to the brain didn't kill it... it seemed to only hurt it...

Christina refused to give up and still tightly held the knife. Currently, the whole 30 centimeters of the knife blade already went inside the monster's head. Christina closed her eyes and focused all her power into the knife... The flame burned wildly inside the monster's head.

The monster struggled on the floor... It also didn't want to give up easily. The monster blade arm moved to aim directly at the human behind its back...

SWWIISSHHHH!!

CLANK!!!

Corrie and Maxine both jumped in using their weapons to deflect the strike. It resulted in the two women thrown five meters to the back.

Christina, while closing her eyes, realized her comrades were still fighting and the only way she could end it is with this last move.

She gave everything she had and the flame turned stronger. Flames were coming out of the monster's ears, eyes, and mouth.

AAAAAAARRR;!!

SSSPLLLAAATTT!!!

The monster's head exploded...

All the spectators were speechless seeing the scene. A woman standing on top of the headless black monster...

.

.

The spectator gasped in amazement.

Not long after, one started cheering a name followed by another.

Christina... Christina... Christina...

Christina opened her eyes staring at the blue sky when suddenly her sight turned blurry

She lost it.

Christina passed out, fell and was quickly caught by her comrade.

That day the legend of Christina of the Firebird has been engraved in the mind of the soldiers and later to all of the Singaporean.
