After getting injured so many times, notifications like these kept popping in his sight like flies on a summer day. They kept warning him to be careful. However, he didn't have the time to think about it nor was he willing to think about it. He put all his soul, body, and brain cells into this fight to stay alive.
One moment of distraction will put him in such a difficult situation that death wouldn't be an option anymore, but a certitude. But since he didn't want to die yet because he had still so many things to discover, Kye put his all into staying alive.
Albeit, it was harder than one could possibly think.
The armor that the human whale used improved her overall stats by a very great margin, making Kye feel like he was fighting against a giant with incredibly scary stats. And it wasn't all. Even after firing so many spells, again and again, she wasn't tired and kept firing them as if she had an infinite pool of energy. The spear she was using didn't help things at all because strangely enough, she was extremely deadly with it.
Kye was sure that this whale gain her intelligence not too long ago, thus being able to get a human-like form. However, she was so skillful with her spear that it made it impossible for Kye to even got to close range with her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis earlier wish of fighting her to get a greater reward was now turning back against him like a bee that never know its master.
Kye got so used to winning and killing his opponents easily, or with some difficulty, but still winning in the end that he completely forgot that it wasn't good to underestimate his foes. And he was now paying it dearly because even though he tried his best to stay alive and dodge a lot of the whale's attack skillfully, making all the spectators' eyes open widely because they never thought that this little human could do such a thing, it wasn't enough because he wasn't strong enough to fight against such a strong foe.
He even managed to improve his mastery over his wings greatly during this fight. So much that he could now more or less fly if he were in an open area above water. And it was thanks to them that he managed to dodge even more of her attacks because he gained a lot more maneuverability thanks to them.
There wasn't any doubt that without them, he would have already died long ago. And he was also very grateful that his stats were so even because, without them, he wouldn't have been able to move either fast enough or defend with his wings because of his lack of strength. Not to add the stamina that played a big role in their survivability because without it, his wings would have already been too damaged to heal in his current state.
"Won't you die already?" She said as she swung her spear like a mad woman.
"Leave me alone you bit*h!!" Kye didn't care about being mindful of his words anymore because he needed to evacuate the build-up tension, even if it was just a tiny bit. So he kept cursing her with all the names that crossed his head at the moment. And it was successful because it made his mind a little clearer.
But not enough to dodge an ice spike coming right after he dodged the spear.

Kye greeted his teeth as the system's red window kept telling him the same thing over and over again and tried to thrust his sword toward the joint in her armor between her leg, only to be repelled by an icy vine, followed by another ice spike.
Kye dodged it followed by the spears thrust as well. 'It seems like she's getting tired as well!' Kye exclaimed and smiled internally seeing such great news. The more his opponent would tire out, the more easily will he be able to dodge.
So he kept his head high and continued dodging. He lost 4 more HP until he finally managed to dodge everything that came after that.
The whale was getting slower, but Kye as well. He didn't have unlimited stamina, and even though it was already high, he too was getting slower.
However, unlike his opponent, he didn't have a big armor covering his whole body weighing on him, thus slowing him down even more. So even though he was getting slower as well, it wasn't as much as his opponent.
And if she were to put off the armor, then it would be Kye's turn to beat her up and show who was superior because she would surely be a lot slower than him at this point.
However, to his surprise, she disabled her armor, only for the same blooming flower from earlier to appear.
"You leave me no choice!" The human whale stated coldly as she raised her arm toward the 'sky'. "I will end you with this final attack."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'Does she think we're in a game's cinematic or something?' Kye chuckled a little, relieving the tension a little bit, making his mind even clearer. 'I won't let you do whatever you're preparing, bit*h!'
Kye's next move was risky, to say the least.
He only had 4 HP left, but still used two Holy rays, making his HP drop again.

However, thanks to them, he managed to hit the whale which was still preparing her attack by aiming toward the middle of her stomach and her neck. At least like this, she would either have to change her actual position completely, thus canceling her 'big move', or take one of the rays.
But once again, to his surprise, the whale exceeded all of his expectations.
Instead of dodging one of them, the human whale took both of the rays' head-ons.
Her stomach got pierced from one side to the other while her neck began to bleed. She spat a mouthful of blood and groaned in pain, but still bear through it to complete her final move.
"You won't kill me with such a thing!" She shouted and kept her arm high to make what looked like a giant seed made only with ice.
Kye didn't think about her words for even a millisecond that he sent another holy ray to her neck, leaving him with only 1 HP and getting now a lot of his white feathers black, before flapping his wings with great force to rush to her side in just one second. He knew very well that what he was doing right now was extremely risky because even a light tap would probably make his HP reach 0. And even though there was this emergency process, he didn't want to discover what it was in reality.
