Chapter 156: The Secret Surfaces (III)
It was as if everything fast forward at super speed. Rei growth amplified as the stench of his body odor even worsened.
Rei turned into a towering colossal giant. I felt like a dwarf compared to him. He was ten times bigger than my height, while his face reminded me of an angry Japanese oni. There was not a single fat on Rei, he was pure muscle. The word Titan indeed fitted him. His hand turned into a fist as he reached down to slam onto Julia.
Alarmed, I yelled. "Everybody! Quickly get on!" My wings opened up, ready to take off.
Coco, Tart, Phil, Cathy, and Stryd scrambled over, grabbing onto me as I lifted off the ground in a hurry.
Rei's large hand fell down towards Julia with vicious power. A gust of wind shot outwards as it landed on top of Julia with a sickening thud. For a moment, I thought I heard bones breaking as the ground itself cracked outwards.
My wings caught the fierce wind, causing me to stumble in midair. Cathy screamed as her hand slipped. Phil reached outwards in the nick of time, allowing him to save her from hitting the ground.
On the other hand, I had to correct myself as quickly as possible to not throw off the rest onto the ground. When I was able to reorient myself, I was able to see the destruction that Rei had personally caused.
The whole ground looked like an earthquake erupted and tore the ground apart. All the surrounding orcs were toppled over, groaning in pain as they lay scattered around the whole place. Only Rei seemed unphased with a hint of a grin on his lips, but suddenly his grin was disappearing in seconds.
"How?!" Rei was appalled at his fist, being pushed upwards. His muscles tensed, muscles bulged as beads of sweat started to come down his face. "Impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible." Julia's voice came out from underneath Rei's fist. In one push, she threw Rei's hand back, causing him to stumble backward.
The whole ground shook as he fell onto his butt with a loud crash. I was glad I wasn't on land. The orcs were tossed around even more.
"We need to get out of here." Hissed Phil.
"I know," I replied back, beating my wings as I scaled up higher into the sky.
"Berry, If you leave. All your servants will die." Julia stated with her sweet voice, giving me chills down my spine. I knew instantly that she would kill them, and I wasn't stupid enough to risk it.
Seconds later, Rei roared in anger, his hand pounded into the ground repeatedly in anger. "Not possible! I am the great Titan! A legend!" He pushed himself onto his knees, getting back up. "How could a puny creature defeat me?!"
Julia sighed at the stupidity of Rei's outburst and shook her head at his simplicity. "Simple, really." She yawned. "I summoned you to life, and just as easily as I can kill you as well."
"Impossible!"
"Is that the only word you could say?" Julia chirped. Let me show you. A sinister grin appeared on her lips. Black powerful magical energy seeped out of her body, multiplying as a large puddle of energy covered the whole ground around her.
The sinister energy swallowed up an Orc who was unlucky to be in its path as screams of horror could be heard. Crunching sound could be heard as they disappeared by the dozen as if the black energy was a living breathing creature eating the living. As it continuously spread outwards, the vegetation quickly died as if the energy was being sucked out of them. The trees wilted and even diminished into dust.
Even the air felt dense and cold. I could even see my hot breath coming out from my mouth and even my nose. The clouds started to roll in, covering the sun and making it darker. Something was happening, and the power that was coming around her was frightening. It was something that I had never felt before. It was as if the evil was being summoned here and now, and I wanted to run and hide.
"Come," Julia spoke with a strong tone of voice as it echoed outwards in demand.
The black energy shimmered with more force than before. Suddenly, a loud hair raising scream erupted out from the black pool of energy, making everyone freeze. I wanted to fly away, but the fear put me in place, hanging in the air.
Out from the pitch-black darkness, a form started to appear. A blast of fire erupted out from the darkness, creating a hellish scene. The entirety of the black energy was quickly turning into a field of fire.
Fiery wings sprouted out from the darkness, erupting outwards as it flapped once. A long elongated head of a bird that reminds me more of a peacock with raptor green eyes glared around the whole area. Heatwave continued to burst outwards, hitting us with full force. The bird was made out of pure blackish fire. Its green eyes looked at us as if we were pure insects that needed to be crushed. At that moment, when the bird screeched, only one word appeared in my head: a phoenix.
The Phoenix shot out from the ground and up into the air screaming in pure bliss.
Following the Phoenix, the fiery black energy swirled around the Phoenix as a portal like energy seemed to condense in mid-air as the black energy went upwards into the circle fire that the Phoenix had called forth.
"Come, my beauties," Julia replied with pure bliss. "Come back to this world once you ruled with great joy."
"No way." Cathy hiccupped in pure horror. "The legendary phoenix is born anew." She gasped.
"What?" Stryd asked, baffled by what he heard."Y-y-y-you're joking, right?"
"Do you think I'm joking?" She replied in a hurry. "We need to get out of-" Her voice was cut off
as a hissing sound could be heard from the black portal itself.
Something else emerged out from the portal. Seven identical heads appeared from the portal, each one with a different number of crowned horns. Diamond-shaped eyes zipped from one location to another, snake like lips flickered outwards, testing the air. It reminded me of a giant dinosaur with multiple heads stuck on one body. Glimmering brownish gray scales decorated its whole body as bulging muscles, lacing every inch. It was half the size of the Titan, but exuded just as much power as Rei himself.
"The Hydra?!" Cathy gasped. "Berry, we need to leave now!" She was yanking on my spine, telling me to flee.
I took her advice, pumping my wings furiously to get high up in the air to get out of there. There was no way I would stay behind and tango with danger. I knew I would have a difficult time winning, especially when there were three legendary monsters here.
