Oh, just fucking great. We now had to deal with a hellhound on top of whatever the hell that thing was that was pushing its way through the tunnel. I didn't have the time for this dammit. I did not have the fucking time to spare right now. All I wanted to do was to get this fucking job done and go home. Why the hell was this happening to me? And who the hell sent a hellhound and that other thing after us?

Was it Alexio and his fucking 'you shall not pass' attitude? Or was it Hekate and her fucking 'give me your magic' attitud?. Dammit, whoever it was, I was going to fucking hurt them, or kill them. The punishment depended on who it was. The most uptodat???? n????vels are published on ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

I didn't have time to dwell on it too much though, because at that moment, the hellhound started to attack. It reared back and roared to the sky before slamming back to its misshapen paws with long, lethal looking claws. With its head lowered and its teeth bared, I watched as it started to move toward us.

"Rudy, please guard them."

I pushed the boys into his arms as I went to meet the hellhound's attack. I normally would have put a barrier around them, like I did before. Only I didn't have the time to do that this time. I had to focus on the thing that was trying to get to me and them. Dammit. I should have been paying more attention. I should have done better than this.

I did, however, have time to summon my sword. The one that I had made when I fought against dear old granny. The frozen blade has since gotten its own name even though it is rarely seen anymore. The ice that surrounded the blade made it look scary yet beautiful. The sword was also cold and could freeze at the touch. For that reason, it was dubbed the Frozen Kiss.

Calling the sword into existence was a relief right now. I hadn't initially thought that I could do it, with how limited my magic had been when I first got here, I truly thought that it was impossible for a moment. Holding the blade of the Frozen Kiss in my hand right now, spinning it artfully and beautifully through the air, that was the best feeling I could possibly have right now.

I met the beast's attack head on. It was trying to come low, even with how huge and hulking the thing was. That wasn't a problem for me though, with how much shorter than it I was. I went lower than that monster and swung upward with my blade. I caught it across the right flank with the biting icy shards that instantly bit into the thing's dripping, inky coat.

I was so glad that the blade did not get covered by that strange looking ooze like pelt. And I could tell that I injured the creature with how loudly it yelped and leapt back to lick its wounds. Still, it wasn't enough. I hadn't removed it's leg like I wanted to, so it was still able to come at me.

And to top things off, the fucking cherry on top of this cake of hell that I was facing down, the hellhound didn't seem to be freezing at all. Instead, it looked like the damned thing was bleeding fire. And that fucking fire was counteracting my ice.

SHIT! If I am going to make that thing freeze over, I would need to do a lot more damage to it in just one hit. This was definitely not something that I could do lightly.

Just as I thought that, the wound on the hell house closed right before my eyes and the thing was ready to attack me again.

"Be careful Mommy." I heard Zayden's voice call out to me and that seemed to pump me up. I knew that I needed to hurry this up or my boys would be in big trouble. Not only them, but Rudy too. I needed to protect them all. I needed to save them all.

With renewed effort, I started to attack the hellhound when he leapt at me. The beast literally made it easier for me by leaping. He thought that he was going to get over me and get to the others, but I had news for him. I was never going to let that happen. Never!

Before he could even get half of his body over my head, I thrust the Frozen Kiss up and jammed it into the thing's belly. It pierced the hell hound until it was almost at the hilt, and the oozing flaming blood was starting to pour out of the monster dog.

I knew that I needed to stop that deadly looking blood from touching me. I knew that if it did, it would hurt me somehow. That was why I quickly flipped the damned beast toward the ground, spinning with it and pinning it beneath me and standing atop its hulking frame.

Now that the beast was at my mercy, and my blade was still sticking inside of it, I was able to do some major damage to it. I pulled the blade of the Frozen Kiss down from the thing's belly toward its tail. Then I went back up and sliced it up to his neck.

The fucking monster was not almost cut in half with my frozen sword, but it still wasn't freezing over, dammit. It was melting my ice but it was healing slower.

"You fucking asshole." I snarled at the monster. "Just die already."

In a fit of rage I pulled my blade from the thing's neck, used my foot to press its chest open, and stabbed it in the sorriest excuse for a heart that I have ever seen. The thing was huge, black, and looked like it was poisoned and full of death.

With the ice of the blade piercing its heart, the hellhound finally started to freeze over. Starting with its chest and moving out through the rest of it. I just needed to pull the Frozen Kiss from the thing's body and all would be done and over with.

I didn't trust that, though. I didn't want to let things be done just yet. So, instead, I slammed the sword down onto the thing's frozen head and watched as the whole ice sculpture that the hellhound had become shattered into a million pieces.

Finally, the thing was dead. Finally, I didn't have to deal with this hellhound anymore.

I didn't have time to celebrate, though. The moment that the hellhound was gone, the screaming behind me got to be so loud that I wanted to cover my ears. The other beast had obviously made its way over here to us and now it was time to see what the hell that thing was. It was time to see the thing that I didn't want to see. It was time to fight once more.

I turned around slowly, intending to see just what the hell it was, but I nearly stopped at the next words that Rudy bellowed.
