It appeared that the third Cerberus was still here after all. With the condition of Viktor's power which was almost at its peak, and the fact that Jessie was no longer able to fight, the situation became even more tense.
However, the problem that was bothering him at the moment was not just these crazy strong creatures but the number that has been counting down in his head
[2 minutes and 55 seconds left]
The time was running out and Viktor needed to take action as soon as possible in these frantic seconds. It had all of a sudden turned into a crucial three minutes that would decide life or death.
Viktor rose to his feet and scanned the spot where the third huge dog would come. In the midst of making a crucial judgment, he then charged at the wounded Cerberus in front of him.
With the remaining strength he had left, he swiftly dodged its terrifying bite and slid to the bottom of the creature while swung his ax at it as powerful as he possibly could. His incision was successful in making a long cut at the bottom of the creature.
Viktor was able to inflict enough damage on the creature in a single attack that it growled in pain. He took a step away from the giant dog while the creature dropped to the ground, and blood gushed out to the ground.
As the beast creature collapsed on the ground, Viktor did not even bother to wait for the confirmation that it had died. What he had in mind was that he needed to finish this battle as soon as possible. He then swiftly turned toward one side of the hall where he saw the expected third huge dogs charging toward them.
However, unexpectedly it was Eva and Liza at the back who were the intended targets of the beast.
Knowing that the girls were in a dangerous situation, Viktor dashed trying to intercept the creature. He shouted and screamed for the creature to run at him, but it seemed like his effort was failed. On the other hand, the three-headed abomination was dead set charging at the two harmless girls.
This made him become more and more frustrated. However, he was well aware that he needed to do something quickly to save the girls. Hence, he threw the hammer at his hand with all of his might, and it, fortunately, hit the creature's head.
Bammm!!!.
As of right now, his sudden throw appeared to be very effective as it successfully caused the huge creature to roar and immediately turned its charge at him as he expected.
The beast had now moved away from the girls and changed its target to Viktor. At the time being, one metal figure and one three-headed monster ran at a coalition course.
Swiissshh
Of course, Viktor was not that stupid no crashed himself with such a huge monster. He dodged to the side at the last second and swiftly swung his ax at the creature's front right legs.
Splaaatttt
It was his most powerful [All Might] swing, and to be hit on its spot while running at high speed caused the creature to fall hard with its three heads hitting the ground hard as if it was mopping the ground.
[1 minute left]
In this narrow time, Viktor must make the most of this moment. As the creature had now fallen to the ground, he did not want to waste any chances. Viktor immediately jumped toward the fallen creature and started madly swinging his ax with all of his strength to hit the giant dog.
Roooaaarrr
However, the creature was able to fight back and one of its ferocious heads managed to bite Viktor on his shoulder.
Cracckk
Even though he was wearing a metal suit, the powerful bite was actually able to break his tier 1 metal armor apart, causing him to bleed and have his shoulder dislocated and broken by its crushing power.
The bite was very painful, yet he realized that his time was short, so Viktor decided to ignore the pain and instead use both of his hands to swing his ax. He swung his axe as if he was cutting down a huge tree, chopping parts of the huge creature.
A pool of blood had splattered all over his body as he kept attacking the creatures with all of his might. He did not care how much pain he had to endure with his injured shoulder because what was important for him at the moment was how to get the creature to die as soon as possible.
At the precise time at the last second of his [All Might] skill, a notification suddenly popped up to his mind.
[You have received the spirit energy of a stage 4 abyss creature - Level 98.]
[You have received 3 points of spirit force.]
"He did it!!"
That was the moment when the three-headed beast had been completely defeated. He couldn't even believe that he could make it in time. It was indeed a very intense moment at the critical time.
When his drawback arrived a moment after, suddenly all of his body was aching. He had no strength left now as he fell one knee on the floor, his body was bashed with blood.
Seeing Viktor's condition, Eva, who had just been saved quickly came approaching him and tried to heal his injuries.
When she saw all of the blood, the girl panicked and became frightened. Viktor's current condition was indeed very worrying.
"Ooh no.. oh no… hold on dear.. wait."
Her hand was trembling as she was trying to heal him. The girl was in panic that because of the pressure, the spell didn't come. The pale girl stood behind her looking with much curiosity.
At this very time, though, Jessie from afar shouted,
"Viktor! It's not over yet!!"
When Viktor heard her cry, he quickly turned and saw the second Cerberus was still alive. It gathered its strength to stand, despite the fact that blood came out of its lower body and one of its heads was no longer there. The creature roared before charging at them.
Jessie shot her polearm staff from a distance to try to stop it, but unfortunately, only one or two shots managed to hit the creatures.
It continued to charge nonstop and Viktor quickly told Eva to leave as he didn't want the girl to be in danger once more.
However, the princess actually took out the tier 1 short sword that Elana had given her, which she had never thought she would use. The princess stood bravely, her sword poised and ready to strike the incoming creature even though her hand was trembling.
"Run Eva! Run!!"
Viktor shouted as he wished to take her away at the time being, yet his knee didn't appear to be cooperating as he was unable to work as he wished.
"No!!!" The princess boldly refused. Although she was a little scared, she didn't take a step back.
It was at this moment that suddenly Viktor felt the area around him quickly turned cold. The temperature dropped significantly in an instant and his panting breath started to give smokes.
To his surprise, the young girl who was standing next to Eva suddenly turned. Her body was floating in the air and her hair was flying as it gradually turned white.
When the Cerberus came just two meters away, the girl raised both of her hands, which had turned boney with her fingers that looked like a skeleton. In the next second, a powerful energy came charging from her palm and it shot a powerful ice blast that instantly turned the Cerberus into a huge ice sculpture.
Yet, the young girl wasn't finished as she came charging at the huge beast and smashed the ice carats with her fingers.
The huge ice block was breaking apart in the piece, and inside it, the Cerberus fleshes were also shattered into pieces.
It was such a shocking turn of events. The girl was still filled with spirit energy. She turned around and Viktor could see her eyes turn crystal blue before Eva suddenly called her name.
"Liza!! Lizaa!!"
Eva slowly walked towards her and this certainly made Vikor worry.
"Sister… Eva…. " said the girl
"Yes Liza, you are amazing Liza"
Eventually, Eva bravely moved closer to the young girl, touching her arm before she gradually returned to her previous form. The hair slowly returned to its previous dark color before she fainted to Eva's arm.
Viktor and Jessie came approaching to see how the terrifying figure a moment ago had turned into an ordinary young girl who now was sleeping soundly on Eva's arm. No one would have thought that she had such amazing power.
Jessie looked at Viktor and he quickly knew what exactly she was going to say. Both of them agreed. It appeared that Liza really was the witch the templars were looking for.
"Now what…?"
