Chapter 25: Chapter 25
With the first blow delivered, I decided to use the next one to try to unbalance him, so, with a quick foot movement, I hit his knee from the side, opening his legs and causing him to fall.
Although he fell, he didn't allow me to continue hitting him, because with a quick movement, he turned his big body and rejoined with his... paws? on his back. All in fluid movements that surprised me...
This thing wouldn't be easy to beat, I knew that, but I didn't expect that if I'm honest....
Snapping out of my thoughts I decided to go with another attack that would possibly work.
With a swift movement, I struck again and he countered again, but this time he threw the second blow. I planned to retreat, but his pincers grabbed my left hand and prevented my escape. Since I could not retreat and was in an awkward position, I allowed him to hit me, but hit back in return.
His blow landed where my ribs would be and mine hit the exact same place he did. Although his attack hit me, I didn't feel that much damage. My blow on the other hand caused some cracks in his shell. I tried to hit him again, but he pulled and released me, moving away from me because I lost my balance and moved awkwardly in the opposite direction. Still, in the midst of that, I used my tail to hit his face. I wouldn't let him go without some kind of damage.
With a big smile I turned to look at him. Black blood oozed from a scar that now adorned his face. But his eye was spared, just barely.
"THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE?"
I asked him, and launched myself in his direction again.
"FOOL, FEEL THE REAL POWER!"
With a dark aura surrounding him, he quickly approached towards me. His speed was not slow considering his appearance.
"HA-HA-HA-HA"
I just laughed.
I prepared my next attack. This time I would use my right hand and wait for him to catch my hand again, because I had a little surprise for him.
As I expected we clashed "fists" and he grabbed my hand again, but this time a dark energy infiltrated me. I didn't care and simply guided his energy to where I wanted it to go, crushing the will that guided it, while changing the shape of my hand to cling to his "pincer".
With our arms linked, I just pulled him tightly to me and smacked him in his face, smashing it a little in the process, but he was still fine.
These octopuses are very tough...
The enemy "N'raqi" seeing himself trapped by me now, decided something that surprised me.
With one of the "Legs" on his back, he cut his arm attacking at its junction.
I stared at the arm that now dangled from mine. For his decision would not be made by just anyone.
So I looked at his arm, then at him and smiled. I opened my mouth and in a few bites I devoured his whole arm, freeing mine.
"MMMM, THANKS FOR THAT!"
Now I could sense a bit of fear in him and at the same time an increase in his alertness.
"WHAT'S THE MATTER, ARE YOU AFRAID?"
I asked. And his answer was not necessary for I could vividly feel his emotions.
"HA-HA-HA-HA"
I ran towards him with the intention of taking advantage of his new weakness, but he would not be defeated so easily. With the sharp sickles that possessed the legs on his back he met my fist, which for the first time since the fight showed signs of breaking.
Apparently the sharpness of those limbs was nothing to scoff at, but I didn't care. So I continued to strike with the other fist which he countered with his own.
This time he did not risk holding me, but that was not necessary, because with the tentacle of my hand, I held his pincer and with a new pull, I pulled him closer to me.
Again he was tied to me and my fist was going in the direction of the other side of his face. Too bad that 2 of the sickles on his legs collided again with my fist and the other 2 hit the tentacle that held us together. They almost cut it in half in the process, so I decided to let go, even though I didn't want to.
Since I knew that this would not go forward as long as his sickles were attached to him, I decided that I had to get rid of them. This time I would go all in.
With a quick approach I hit his pincer again, grabbing it again with my regenerated tentacle and with the other hand I tried to hit his beautiful "Davy Jones" face from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Just as I expected, its legs came out in its defense, but this time I pulled out 2 of the tentacles I had on my back and grabbed 2 legs with each one. Those tentacles were the ones under my shoulders, being the most resistant and strongest. So holding on to the closest part where they connected to his back, I pulled hard while my free hand grabbed his head pushing him down and doing a counter force. In the whole process I destroyed the eye that did not suffer my whip.
*GRRRRUUOCK
*GRRRRUUOCK
*GRRRRUUOCK
*GRRRRUUOCK
"GRAAARARARG"
5 wonderful sounds I heard. Although I was expecting more of a "PLUG" for his hind legs, I have to remember that they are not really "PLUG AND PLAY", too bad... for him.
With all 4 legs on my tentacles and his head in my hands, I decided to briefly show him his final destination. Which was my stomach.
With what little I could see of his last eye, I knew he could see how the mouths that possessed my two tentacles quickly devoured the limbs I had torn off. Taking advantage of the moment I approached his bloodied face and said to him.
"THAT'S YOUR DESTINY"
"YOU FOOL, YOUR FATE WILL BE NO DIFFERENT WHEN YOU ARE IN THE HANDS OF OUR GOD!"
"NOT IF I DEVOUR IT FIRST"
And sensing his fear, I simply bit his head with my mouth and ripped it off. Now the black blood gushed like a fountain and bathed my face.
Mmmm, this squid is very raw, I should cook it a little. Next time, for now I will enjoy the lobster.
...
It didn't take me long to eat "N'raqi" for lunch, for once he "died", appropriating his body was not so difficult.
All the dark energy coursing through his being was far greater than that of the little "N'raqi" I had first devoured. And although the darkness in my being increased, I did not particularly feel any change, nor did I have any problems with crushing his will.
I continued on my way in search of more plates of squid lobsters that were walking around. Particularly the more powerful ones, since I could feel my power increase with each dark being I devoured. Although the whispers were also louder now, it didn't matter much, as they knew that disturbing me would only cause me to really ignore them. I prefer them with balanced audio and preferably that their words are well articulated and understandable.
I know they know this, since at some point when I was devouring the biggest "N'raqi", some whispers tried to shout at me just to shut them up and tell them "lower your voice, some of us are trying to listen to the other voices".
And I mean, there was more than one, but sometimes they all talked and sometimes they took turns... It was better that way and I told them, so now they were more understandable.
I honestly don't mind listening to this. In my other life I used to sleep with music, which to some is noise and annoyance, in the background and this had been going on since I was a kid..... So this is a piece of cake, plus my thoughts I hear them over all the dark speech out there.
...
My next prey was a "N'raqi" a little bigger than the previous one. I noticed its power as soon as we saw each other, since it tried to control me like the rest, but my mind withstood its attempt.
I must admit it wasn't easy, but it wasn't hard either. It was a middle ground, although I suppose a lot has to do with the dark god's constant attack on me, now that I am closer to his being.
Without unnecessary noise, I just ran to meet them. This time a swarm of small "Aqir" and some bigger ones were coming towards me. I guess they would try to stop me or something. But I just needed to keep running to crush and incinerate all those that came near me.
At one point, I used one of the bigger "Aqir" as a ball, throwing it towards the "N'raqi" who was controlling them and pushing it slightly by the force of the impact. The poor "Aqir" died when it hit the goalkeeper... poor disgusting little thing, even in life it didn't even manage to score a goal...
Anyway, it didn't take me long to find myself against the "pincer / mouth" of the "N'raqi" as I ignored the few "Aqir" that swarmed towards the flame, towards me.
Just as I was about to engage again in a legendary food fight, a huge earthquake caused us to lose stability.
We were in a construction in the shape of a Mayan and Egyptian pyramid... Something like that. It was connected by thick stone bridges on the sides, and connected with other more or less similar structures. Everything was black, gold and more black, with a bit of red in the background to denote the lava flowing down its streets in the style of Venice.
Then a wave hit the place where we were and carried the "N'raqi" away, or well, it almost did.
"NOOOO"
I shouted and with the tentacle in my hands I held its "pincer" so that it would not be carried away by the fast flowing water. I held its weight as best I could, while pulling it.
"YOU CAN'T LEAVE, NOT LIKE THIS!"
I told him desperately. With the other tentacle in my hand, I grabbed hold and began to pull with all my might, pulling him to me.
When it was finally in front of me, I released the tentacles from my shoulders and abruptly pulled the legs off its back. I felt his confusion and pain. Then with the other 4 tentacles below, I pierced the holes left by its legs. The mouths that possessed my tentacles ate him alive from the inside, so I approached his face. And to answer his confusion, I said to him.
"YOU CAN ONLY DIE FOR ME"
That was the last the dark squid/lobster/lunch heard.
With more dark energy flowing through my body I began to think of some more immediate uses for my new element and power.
So using the new energy flowing through my being, I targeted one of the larger "Aqir" and usurped its will, controlling it according to my desires. But as soon as I left the connection, the creature came back to its senses and I felt it disconnect from my command.
After that, a new earthquake happened, but this time it came from the "Dark God". Apparently it bothered him that I subjected one of his subjects to my will.
Hahaha, now I can annoy those horrid things without having to get close. Too bad my control in their presence can't last.
My happy mood did not last long. Soon a kind of tentacle came out of the ground and began to attack me, not only with magic, but also physically.
I moved quickly and evaded all the attacks. I don't want to test how hard it hits and if I can resist it. Even though it's a small tentacle, it's still bigger than me. As for the magic, I couldn't avoid it, but I absorbed it as soon as it came into contact. The Dark God's will was powerful and now that I was in contact with its power directly, I found it even harder to endure.
I could feel some of his magic invade my mind and begin to corrupt it. When I slightly saw my mental world I watched as an area of the forest began to darken and wither, and some "N'raqi" and "Aqir" manifested. I also saw for the first time how my mental defense looked like a force field preventing the entrance of a "COLOSSAL" being of multiple tentacles, mouths and eyes. All oozing with dark power.
The most worrying thing is that one of its tentacles had managed to destroy part of the shield of my mind and make contact with me, and that is where all the corrupting power came from.
Now I had to face this powerful being... this "GOD" on two fronts.
Author's Note: What do you think of this chapter, I hope you like it. I really wanted to write more than one chapter since days ago, but I didn't have time to make it possible.
By the way, today I read a post about conspiracy theories about Azeroth that caught my attention. It said that Azeroth could possibly be a dark god, or if not, why? it would be called Azeroth, which could come from Azathoth since the old gods all have names with Lovecraftian derivation.
I found it interesting, not because it is really so, but because of the logic of his argument, his analysis and how he relates the topic. As Blizzard does what it wants, I will keep my doubts about the topic, but tell me what do you think, do you know any other interesting and conspiranoid WOW topic, if so please tell me in the comment box and give it a like... Maybe someday I will have a functional Youtube channel. It's okay to dream.
I invite you to comment, because every comment is a motivation for me. Express yourselves freely, but with respect for all of us. Comment ideas, advise me, tell me curious facts about WOW that you know, who knows and maybe you don't know, which in fact is likely. Advise me on how I can improve this story. Criticize me CONTRUCTIVELY, for destroy we can all do it, but guide, only the wise.
I wish you a great day or a good night. ^^
