A door appeared on the side of the cage, and I walked over to stand in front of it as Kelly slowly followed behind me. I stopped in front of it and examined the inscription that was carved into the door. This was the last and final of the seven trails, so it was probably going to be something interesting, but I just wanted to be done.
'The final trial is to fight destruction before it can destroy you.'
"Simple enough," I said as I pushed the door open and walked through.
The hall was long, and just about when I was starting to get annoyed, we walked out into a dark room with another candle in the center of it. It only took me a second to notice each of the four stone women dressed in battle armor and holding weapons that were real, and each had a color.
"You had better go hide somewhere safe," I said, and Kelly grabbed my arm.
"I am not some fucking cat! I can't see in the dark! What are you... where are those glowing lights coming from?" Kelly asked as she paused in the middle.
"The reason why you need to get the fuck into a corner and fast! Now move!" I exclaimed as the four statues slowly came to life and started walking toward us.
Kelly yelped and ran towards the back corner as the red one, who was wielding a sword, charged at me. I sidestepped out of the way and then brought my fist up into its stomach as hard as I could. It let out an 'of' sound as the air was knocked out of it and then doubled over. I quickly grabbed its head and twisted it, and it just spun all the way around, and I was forced to let go as a blue blade came hissing at me.
I leaped out of the way and then turned around to see the blue one, who was carrying a spear, lunging at me with the point of her weapon aimed right at my heart. I quickly grabbed the shaft of the spear with both hands and then used my momentum to spin around and flip the woman over my head. She hit the ground hard and then let go of the spear as she tumbled, but I quickly ran after her.
I brought my foot down on her chest and then drove the spear into the golem's face. They may look like women, but they were just stone. The blue one's head cracked and then shattered as the spear drove into it, and she stopped moving. I quickly turned my attention to the other two as they charged at me.
The green one, who was carrying a bow, shot an arrow at me, but I quickly dodged out of the way and ran toward her. I leaped into the air and brought my fist down onto her head as hard as I could, and she crumpled to the ground. I quickly turned my attention to the last one as she came swinging her axe at me.
I dodged out of the way and then ran towards her and leaped into the air. I grabbed onto the axe with both hands and then kicked the woman away from me. I spun and threw the axe at the red one, but she was able to block it with her sword.
I jumped and brought my fist down onto her head, but she was able to block it with her sword. I was momentarily stunned as pain shot through my hand, and she took advantage of that. She brought the pommel of her sword up into my stomach and then kneed me in the groin.
I doubled over in pain and then fell to my knees as she brought her sword up, ready to strike me down. I quickly rolled out of the way and then leaped to my feet as she came swinging at me again. I dodged out of the way and then ran towards her and leaped into the air.
I grabbed her head with both hands and then slammed it down onto my knee as hard as I could. There was a sickening crunching sound as her nose broke, and she dropped her sword as she staggered backward, clutching her face in pain. I quickly ran towards her and grabbed her head with both hands.
I wrenched it to the side and then brought my knee up into her face as hard as I could. There was another sickening crunching sound as her jaw broke, and she fell to the ground, dead.
I got up and caught an arrow that the green one had just fired at me, but I had to move out of the way as I did because the arrow had gotten a lot bigger. I looked over, and the Green with the bow and the Yellow with the now battle axe looked like they put on a bit of extra weight. They had both gotten about two feet taller and were starting to look more like Amazons.
I dashed at the Green one, but they were much faster this time, and the Yellow one was on me before I could even get close. I jumped over a cleaving strike and barely was able to kick off the chest of Yellow as Green fired a fucking harpoon at me that I narrowly dodged.
When I landed back on the ground, I bolted for Green, but Yellow's axe spun me horizontally at my shoulders, and I was forced to duck. Suddenly, Green football kicked me across the room, and I flipped over, planting on the wall before blasting back at them.
They both dodged out of the way, and when I looked up, they had both grown another two feet and now looked like they were ten feet tall. This was getting ridiculous. I ran at them, and they were both able to hit me with a clubbing blow to the back that sent me flying.
I hit the ground and rolled, coming back up to my feet as the two behemoths slowly stalked toward me. I ran at them, and they both brought their weapons down, but I slid between their legs and came up behind them.
I quickly turned and clawed my way up the back of Yellow, grabbing hold of its head and ripping it back to the ground as it tried to struggle. My claws became like diamonds as I tore into the back of its neck, severing the spine. I then leaped off and rolled as Green turned and tried to take my head off.
I came up behind it and did the same thing to it that I had done to the other one, and then I was on my feet in a second as the two giants slowly fell to the ground. I looked over at Kelly, who was staring at me in disbelief, but I just shrugged it off and walked over to the door that had appeared.
