Chapter 484: 484
Hmmm…
----------------
Sunk deep into meditation, by mind is cool and composed, the pain ringing on the outside of my awareness . I can take this, I can handle it . Get that healing spell going ASAP and worry about everything else later . I push my legs to drag my damaged body to some sort of cover as my two most powerful minds cooperate to throw together some healing magic . It only takes a few seconds but it feels like an eternity before the spell is complete and my flesh begins to knit back together . It isn't enough though, the damage this time is severe . Whatever that damn eyebeam was, it was strong enough to cut through my carapace like it was paper . I think a piece of stomach is hanging outside of my body . Yuck . I can only hope that the demon was hurt bad enough to keep it from coming over here and finishing me off . I know that my spell managed to slice it, hopefully my acid will help cause a distraction as well .
I hunker down for a few tense moments as I spin together another healing spell to lay onto myself . The second it starts ticking I flex my legs and dash out from behind the rock I'd used for shelter .
BOOM!
Just before the thing explodes . Nice timing, Anthony! Shards of stone clatter off my carapace and fall like rain across the whole combat area in the wake of that explosion . The sand kicks up into a wave of precious vision blocking dust that allows me to jink once more as I reach out with my mana sense to grasp the location of the creature .
Every second brings me closer to full health! Hold on, ant! You can do it! Even as my health increases, there's another problem that is becoming more and more urgent . My stamina is falling . I've been dashing about like a mad thing ever since this fight started and I'm getting pretty darn tired! Although I can keep healing myself and drag the fight out, I'm pitting my own physical stamina against the little demon's mental stamina, and I'm not confident that's a battle I can win .
Before my situation becomes too desperate and I can no longer run, I need to heal up and then bet everything on the next strike! Luckily that last exchange gave me a hint! This is going to get crazy .

I keep dodging about to buy more time as the dust clears and I get a clear view of my opponent once more . The acid does appear to have done some work along with my ice pillar . Dark blood is dripping down the monster's arm and one of its leathery bat wings has a gaping hole . Oddly enough the hole doesn't seem to have any effect on the creature's ability to stay airborne . There must be some sort of trickery there . It still isn't nimbly flying about however, rather just hovering in one place . There must be a reason for that . At least, I hope to heck there's a reason for that .
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Seemingly enraged, the creature throws out blast after blast, forcing me to dodge and dash with all of my strength as my healing spells stitch me back together . That eerie mouth that appears to be suspended in mid-air, attached to nothing, keeps grinning at me, as if it were the Cheshire cat but the mouth was large enough to swallow a sheep whole .
It's creepy!
Still, I think I'm just about as ready as I'm going to get . Dragging this out is only going to make things more disadvantageous to me . The eye appears to be drained of energy, the green no longer as bright and glaring as it was before, but over time it's been recovering . This could mean that the eye can't use its mega-beam laser continuously, having to wait for a recharge . Or it could be a trick . Either way I still have to go for it . Reluctantly, I let go of both the mana constructs I've held onto so far . For the plan I have in mind, I'm not going to need them and if it doesn't work out, I'm still not going to need them!
