Reborn As A God - Chapter 79

Looking at the axe that fell to the ground, the door that could lead her out of this hell and the monsters that waited for her down below.

Josse followed her heart and did the only thing she was able to, her eyes turned cold as she started back at the abominations, she was afraid alright but she’ll be damned if she left her little brother to suffer here alone all by himself! What kind of older sister would she be?!

Grabbing a fist-sized pointed rock in each hand, Josse calmly walked down the mountain not giving the door another look.

As she approached the invisible barrier, the monsters seemed to grow more and more impatient as they jumped over each other trying to get to her.

She was scared, her hands shook, her knees threatened to fail her, nevertheless, she stood firm and tall. Why? Because her little brother was there!

First, however, she needed to confirm something. Steadying herself, Josse took a deep breath and threw the first-sized rock with all her strength at the sea of monsters that hungrily watched her.

The rock flew true to its mark and hit one of the monsters square in the face, the hit, unfortunately, did not leave any scratch and only seemed to serve to anger the monster even more.

Calming her wildly beating heart, Josse began to think. “So that means I can probably leave but I am not sure if I would be able to come back inside.”

Josse carefully weighed her options, she had already made her resolve to die here but not yet. She still did not know if Roland was still alive if he was she would do anything to save him, and if he isn’t then this cursed land would be her final resting place, she would not rest without taking at least one of the bastards with her!

“The mountain seems to be surrounded by these cursed nightmares, how could I ever leave this place? The first step I take outside and I’ll be shredded into pieces before I know it.” Biting her nails, Josse constantly paced around trying to think of some way any way that could help her.

“The peak!” Her eyes lit up as she turned to look back towards the top of the mountain.

“Something should be there! I must have missed something!”

With her eyes full of resolve, Josse then began once again her climb towards the peak. It did not take long before she arrived again panting, her legs hurting as she gasped for air.

She was already exhausted both mentally and physically, but she couldn’t give up! For her brother’s sake, she needed to save him!

Forcing herself to stand up, Josse walked around the plateau shaped peak In search of any type of clues that might be of help, perhaps she had missed something the first time!

Yet the more time she spent searching, the bigger her despair grew to be, Josse was unable to find anything at all.

Once more the door that leads to the outside world shone brightly as it tempted her, and whispered in her ears to just give up and let it go!

Shaking her head to clear it out of such thoughts, her gaze once more turned towards the fallen axe on the ground. The red hue surrounding it was still not back yet she was unable to make it budge.

Gritting her teeth in frustration, Josse yelled with all her strength to the sky. “HELP ME SAVE MY BROTHER AND I WILL DO ANYTHING! TAKE ME NOT HIM!”

“He did nothing wrong…” she whispered that final part as a single tear trickled down her cheek.

Taking another deep breath to calm her raging emotion, Joss grabbed the hilt of the fallen Axe and pulled with all her strength, her mind full of thoughts of her brother, she did not mind giving herself up as long as it meant it he gets to live.

With her emotions overwhelming her, her vision suddenly turned bloody as the axe in her hands started to move. At first, she was hardly able to make it creek but the more power she put in her arms the redder her eyes became.

Soon, a strange type of energy one she was unfamiliar with surrounded her. It flowed throughout her entire body before silently condensing itself in her arms.

With a loud cry of defiance, the axe broke free as Josse held it high in the air with both arms. Her entire aura seemed to undergo a complete change as she held the weapon, her eyes turned blood red as they scanned the peak once more merely lingering over the door for a few seconds before she harumphed and made her way down the mountain, her axe held in both hands.

Once she found herself at the foot of the mountain, Josse’s blood-red eyes seemed to shine, they looked to be full of hate and wrath as she gazed at the monsters, her fear long forgotten, the only word that took over her mind was that of slaughter!

Her breathing quickly picked up as her shoulders rose and fell down, her hands that held the weapon shook in resentment and animosity.

“You bastards!!” With a loud scream, her body shooting forward like an arrow let loose, holding the axe high above her head Josse let out a loud battle cry as she shot towards the sea of monsters.

Seeing their prey willingly delivering itself to them made the monsters exhilarate as they rushed to meet her, mouths wide open with anticipation as they salivated at the thought of devouring her, yet before any could come close, the axe that was held high above her head came down and along with it came the bloody red aura…

BOOOOOOOOOM

That single attack, one that looked to be insignificant in front of the sea of monsters, an attack that looked more like a final desperate attempt of defiance came crashing down as it parted the sea of monsters to both sides leaving most of the unlucky ones completely obliterated.
