Clash, after clash, after clash — the hideous Wendigo and Astrid both didn't let their guard down. As for Wanderer she stayed hidden in the bushes trying to find a way to counter.
'Hey system give me some information about that hideous creature, I can't just be useless — even though I am'

'Fire?..' her eyes laid on the campfire and came up with an idea. She extended her hand out, absorbing the energy that came from the campfire.
The Wendigo shifted their gaze towards Wanderer.
"I'm over here asshole—" as soon as Astrid was about to land a clean hit, she missed as the Wendigo charged at Wanderer — appearing face to face with her.
"■■■■■■ $@^&^@*$^?!?!"
The Wendigo lifted its claw up.
"WANDERER!!-"

Wanderer's expression darkened, 'Hah…' time stopped for a second allowing her to process her own thoughts—
Wanderer's finger made contact with the tip of the Wendigo's claw,
'Hellfire'
The color of her eye transitioned to a blazing red, blood trickling down her cheek.
The impact caused the Wendigo to ignite into flames, moaning in agony. Flames spread throughout the forest turning anything to ash as it made contact.
"*&^&*^#@$&*(^@#!!!"
'Ack–' Wanderer clutched her finger, squinting her eyes closed, bringing her finger up to her eyes — the tip was busted, severe burns surrounding her fingers.
Astrid ran towards Wanderer's side — supporting her while the Wendigo screamed in agony.
"We should head back, it's too dangerous..!"
|I can't, I don't want to
Astrid grunted, "Stubborn little–"
Wanderer pulled away from Astrid's hold, gripping her sword
tightly—concentrating all the fire energy she had accumulated from that
campfire and the roaring flames that continued to spread throughout the forest.
'Hahah!! Holy shit my body is on fire! This is fun!!! Here I come for those rewards!' Wanderer grinned maniacally, 'Come fight me, you Hideous Bitch!'
"If you keep doing that you'll burn yourself alive—"
'Stay the fuck out of this Preserver, we could talk about my recklessness later'
The flames worn off from the Wendigo, snapping its gaze back to her.
"You wretched &*^%^&!% bastard!#@*&^*&" it was outraged by the Wanderer's resolve and mockery.
"I will fucking tear you from limb to limb and bind your soul to me—feeding on you until the universe ends—"
"Wanderer—"
The Wanderer glared at Astrid—menacingly, sending her cold shivers down her spine.
A glare that told her:
Stay out of this, this is fucking mine
Astrid winced—preserving a safe distance from afar, "What the fuck has gotten into that head of yours?" she muttered.

Also discarding past "Extra Abilities" each change as it won't go according towards the sword's description and name>
The Infernal Bastard sword was a broad single-edged sword, a glassy orange blade that shimmers like a candle light, small cracks that run like veins, runic filigree that pulses with nearby flames, and the hilt of the sword was clothed in charred leather—the guard was shaped like a pair of embering wings.
'No wonder it's called Infernal Bastard, that's just badass!'
'Don't make me wait, system—put all my stat points on energy or vitality!'
{Could you at least be a bit more courteous—}
'Do you think I have time for that shit?!'

The Wendigo charged at Wanderer in a blink of an eye, clashing their claws against her blade. It stumbled back slightly—giving Wanderer a chance to counter.
'FLASHFIRE' she swung her blade against the Wendigo's neck—landing a solid blow.
"GRAHGGG^@&*#^" burns and scars started to guise the Wendigo's flesh and skin, its eyes were ablaze—the impact was a substantial strain against its body.
On Wanderer's side it took a huge toll on her body as well but 10 times as worse than the Wendigo's—her hand was almost busted, her body covered in dark nasty bruises and burns, blood trickling down her body, her body was set on fire as well—slowly yet surely going to burn her to a crisp. Ash and blood blended with the dead forest grass—it was a complete,
bloodbath.
'Hic…Fuck…I'm so fucking weak…n-not…not done yet you- you hideous bitch!'
"Do^y&o#u really think &could BEAT ME*@(&@($?!"
Due to Wanderer's newly obtained ability–Blood Bond she was able to keep up with the Wendigo's speed, and copy their attacks, but then again she knew she wouldn't last long.
"HAHAHHAHJJAH YOU'RE NO MATCH FORME!!!"
'N-no! I'm not done!'

She managed to overpower the Wendigo by strength, while at it she absorbed all the fire energy she could from the flames that spread throughout the forest continuously.
But no matter how many clean blows she managed to land or Flashfires she has done it was no use if the Wendigo kept on regenerating.
She wasn't able to copy the Wendigo's regeneration ability as her Blood Bond was slowly taking all her blood out of her corpse.
"It's no use! Accept YOUR faith!"
'NEVER!!'
'This…Is my only choice!'

A surge of hot burning flames infiltrated almost the whole entire

"^&$*&@*^*(^&*@$^&^&@$&*(?!??!?!?"
"FUCKING GRUTTFYRYUAKGDJAKJHBDJHE!!!"
Wanderer smiled, sliding down against a burning tree trunk, her left arm melted into goopy cinders—mixing in with her own flesh and blood. Burnt skin peeling off revealing the muscle and bones beneath it, her legs were demolished into little bits that will soon blend in the ash.
Her smile wavered, as her vision began to feel blurry, hearing the roar cries of the Wendigo in her head. She closed her eyes for a split second before opening them—there they were the disoriented, maimed body of the Wendigo, its flesh and skin melting into the flames .
"DO YOU*(^*&$#^ REALLY GRSAFDGI THINKG THIS IS OVER &$&(*?!???"
The Wendigo raised their crumbling claw up, dark matter circulating its tips and before they could even release the ball of matter—it all dissipated. As well as the surrounding flames that scattered through almost the entire forest.
—A strike to its ice heart. Limbs. Head. Dismembering each and every
part of their body that disintegrated into ash and dust in the air.
"Fuck.FuckFUCK! I shouldn't have just left you there!! I thought you would've fucking handle it you- you—"
Astrid released her sword, allowing it to clatter down the ground—she rushed towards Wanderer's side. Tears streaming down her cheek, trying to find a way to support her without making things worse than before.
'Shit…My vision feels blurry…is that you Astrid…ergh– everything hurts, am I going to experience what death is like now?'
"You idiot get it together!!!"
Wanderer winced at the Preserver's voice, 'Mm..I forgot you were here, wouldn't I– we be at ease once the both of us die?'
"..."
"Stop acting like that, stop. We haven't even finished this journey, our…
story, together"
"JUST GIVE WHAT EVER YOU HAVE TO GIVE AND STOP
STALLING TIME, YOU'LL KILL YOUR ONLY SOURCES OF ENTERTAINMENT OUT HERE!!"
<"Now, now, I wouldn't say that. C'mon on now we're all ■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■. Ah right I can't say those. Eh whatever, here. Ya'll are boring.">
"No, no, no pLEASE Wanderer!" Astrid cried out, trying everything she could to keep Wanderer alive, noticing the life in her eyes was slowly fading away.
"...I can't lose you either…"
