NOVEL NEXT Chapter 42: Killing The Mutant!
As though snatched by a rope, his body was yanked off the staircase with severe force as he was pulled down the hole. At the last minute, the talon of the Mutant had hooked against his tightly wrapped bandages, pulling him backwards before he could react.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Sounds of meaty flesh and bones hitting metal resounded as the two bodies fell downwards to the ground.
But in the next second, the Mutant had managed to clasp hold of the metal case on what seemed to be the 29th floor.
Draziel's body was spinning around continuously, slamming onto metal casings, concretes and wood.
If he didn't do anything, he would most likely die from the bouncing impact before he actually gets to the ground.
From the corner of his eyes, he noticed that below him, the Bird had managed to stabilize itself with the concrete of a stair below. And if given just a second, it could adjust itself and cross over the staircase into the stair it was presently in.
But how could Draziel let that happen? Just as his body was about to crash into another metal, he pivoted his waist, making his entire body shift as his momentum gathered towards a particular direction, he kicked back against the next object and dived downwards as though he was skydiving.
The Mutant screeched and its entire body emitted an intense murderous tide of energy noticing Draziel was heading towards it.
The leathery wings flapped in fury, but there was presently an obvious alarm in its eyes. Yet even though it was made for air and could also fly with its wings, the space within the stairs was too restricted for it to flap its wings.
"BAM!"
Draziel slammed into it like a cannonball, allowing the both of them to plummet towards the ground with even more intense velocity.
The Mutant couldn't help but think that Draziel was a complete mad man! With his maneuver there, as long as he could pull two or three more of these stunts, his plummeting speed would wane and he would have been able to stop his plunge, reaching for one of the other floors, but Draziel didn't do that, as though he had renounced survival, he preferred to pursue him while they plummet, how could he not call Draziel a mad man?
Naturally, Draziel also realized this and was well aware that with a little bit of aerial maneuvering, he could very well land safely on one of the other floors but then, it would just be too easy.
Moreover, he couldn't let the Mutant escape since he was in need of its spinal fluid.
"Whoosh!"
The wind wailed loudly to their ears as they fell downwards, fog rushing to their faces. But Draziel was protected.
They would surely fall to their death if attention is not taken. The Mutant let out a piercing shriek and it reared its head back as its dried up bony beak stabbed toward Draziel's face.
They were very close and Draziel could practically smell a putrid reek of dead and decayed skin and tissue cells wafting from the mutant's body.
Seeing its beak strike towards his face Draziel had already flipped his blade to a reverse grip and a loud sound of metals scraping against each other echoed as the blade shifted the direction of the attack, letting the sharp beak graze past his cheek, sparks lighting up the darkness within.
With his other hand, he swiftly punched heavily downwards at the mutant's chest, but it was as though he had whacked a hard lifeless tree, bringing out an unlively thud sound that echoed.
There appeared to be an incomprehensible sneer on the face of the Mutant as it glanced at Draziel mockingly.
Draziel's punch barely had an effect on its body, its physique stronger than the amount of force Draziel could produce with his punch alone.
The Mutant suddenly twisted its body, clasping onto Draziel's shoulder with its fore-talons, it swirled in mid-air and Draziel's legs jutted outwards and with a loud bang, his legs involuntarily smashed against a nearby steel staircase, with the gravitational force they were falling at, an ordinary human's legs might have been severed, or at the very least, shattered!

"CLANG!"
An intense vibration traveled through his body like a storm, bring along with it intense pain that stabbed deep into his bones! Draziel felt as though his legs had shattered and even had an inkling of bone shards splintering out towards his tissue.
In that moment, his body suddenly went rigid and his legs went completely numb. He couldn't feel the slightest thing from a few inches below his waist, all the way to the toes.
His muffled grunt exploded outwards and for the first time in a while, his eyes appeared completely blood shot. One couldn't tell if it was from anger or from the pain.
Suddenly, Draziel's hands moved and his body shifted as he twirled his body around, moving behind the Mutant, His left arm wrapped around the skinny neck, gripped tightly at the neck of the Mutant as though he was placing it under a tight choke hold.
Its breathing restricted, the Mutant pierced Draziel's arm with its claws, stabbing deep into his arm and eventually, its long nails had reached deep into his skin, getting stuck at his bone, the Mutant didn't relent and continued to stab deeper into Draziel's arm.
His arm bone letting out a few weird noises as the nails stabbed into them. His bone started to let out a few cracking sound as though it would rupture any second from now.
But it was as though Draziel hadn't noticed this, he refused to release the Mutant from his hold and in that second, his right arm then stretched upwards.
Instantly a shadowy shaped thin object elongated from his palm, shooting upwards with a whoosh, latching unto an object nearby.
Their descent instantly came to an abrupt halt. One arm gripping the tongue tightly, the other arm gripping tightly at the neck of the Mutant.
"Riiip!"
The neck of the Mutant instantly snapped! Hanging loosely against Draziel's arm, with a just a few flesh and muscles holding his neck and his body together.
