Chapitre 157: The Secret Surfaces (IV)
"Berry! Watch out!" Phil yelled. He shot out a blast of energy from his palm, hitting the Phoenix that came swooping down towards me in the attempt to pin me down.
I cursed underneath my breath, mostly because of the sticky situation we were in now. The Phoenix squawked, yelling at me to land. It fluttered above me, using its sharp claws to push me down back onto the ground. Forcing myself to twist and turn to get out of the hot mess I had put myself in.
"What in the world is this!" Rei yelled, completely stunned and confused at the sudden appearance of the legendary monsters. He has never met the others, so he assumed they were just creatures that Julia summoned. "Why have you called this pesky beast?!"
"Pesky?" Julia slowly said a slow smile spread across her face, inching upward into a snarl. "Do you not know this is the Phoenix and the Hydra? Just like them, they are your brothers and sisters. Welcome them." She was thrilled with their entrance and was proud of what she had done
"I do not have any sisters or brothers." Rei was getting annoyed at Julia. "I am the great Titan! All should bow before me!" With a roar, he rushed forward, causing the ground to tremble.
He swung towards the Hydra that was half his size with his large hand, trying to break its neck. Hydra hissed and snapped. Each one of its heads spat out acidic balls of energy towards Rei. When it hit Rei's hand, he snarled as a hissing sound was heard. The stray acid energy balls flew past him and instead hit the unlucky orcs. It didn't take a second later for screams of pain could be heard as part of the Orc's face melted off as he died slowly.
Rei's skin was so tough that it didn't affect him as badly as the Orcs, but left burns. The Hydra continuously spat out more and more while Rei was getting hit by it. Rei swung his arm behind him, catching the Phoenix in the air. It was sent flying backward as the Phoenix slammed into the ground.
With a flash of burning roar of fire, the Phoenix screamed in fury. A blast of tornado fire erupted around it and headed straight towards Hydra, Julia, and Rei. It was becoming a cacophony of mess between the four beings.
"What are you doing?!" Screamed Julia, who was furious at the sudden turn of events. "You have a job to do!"
All three didn't listen to her words and continually battled, trying to get the upper hand before the other. Fire blazed outwards, acid was shot everywhere, and the ground trembled every second Rei took a step.
"Young mistress!" Moca's voice called out from a distance. His voice caught me off guard, causing me to not pay attention and get hit on the right by one of the Hydra's heads. I was flung out of the air, causing a few yells from my back.
"You idiots!" Julia stomped in a fury. She raised up her hands, summoning up a heavy array of power as she created a dark chain that shot out from the shadows and aimed straight towards Rei. His right foot was wrapped around by the chain, causing him to stumble.
In anger, Rei roared, yanking the chains as he swatted the angry Phoenix that came back to pay retribution against him. Flames shot forward, enclosing Rei's whole body. The entangled Hydra that was in a headlock with Rei was caught up in its blackish fire, causing it to snap towards the Phoenix.
It was a complete mess, and I was super close to hitting the ground. Even to the point where I thought I would be trampled by Rei's giant foot. I had to do a funky twist and turn to get out of harm's way before I got killed. The whole midair maneuver was tight, my wings tucked as I spiraled downwards, and at the last second, I whipped open my wings to duck out of harm's way.
"Young mistress!" Moca blitzed forward. He jumped up into the air. His hand reached up, grabbed my foot as he hung in midair. With fluid hands, he pulled himself up without any difficulties. Eventually, he made it all the way up on my back.
"Moca?" I asked, stunned. This whole time, I wondered where he disappeared off too. "What?
How?"
"Young mistress. There is no time." Moca replied with a hurried tone of voice. "Please brace yourself. I'll get us off here as fast as possible." He rummaged through his pocket, eventually pulling out a small clear bead in his hand.
"Isn't that?" Phil asked, stunned. He fired a magical ice arrow from his bow, smashing it into one of Hydra's eyes. With an angry hiss, it swayed and spat out a ball of acid towards Phil.
I had to do a sharp turn just to avoid the blasted acid spit.
Again Moca replied, "No time," instantly he crushed the small bead in his hand. A blast of powerful wind blew outwards from the small bead, causing everyone to freeze. Suddenly, the wind drew inwards as if it was sucking into Moca's hands as I felt a rush of power sweep me off my feet. It was an eerie feeling where it felt like my stomach was being turned upside down in one fell swoop.
In that instant, I heard Julia scream. "Noooooooo! Stop her!" Her voice echoed in an angry outburst. "Don't let them get away!"
And just when I thought that all the attention from all three legendary creatures wasn't bad enough, they actually stopped fighting and rushed toward me, finally aiming to do her bidding. Just when I thought they would eventually come upon us, the world around me seemed to shimmer and eventually faded away.
Everything went black as we fell into some kind of twilight zone like effect, falling endlessly or flying. I just wasn't sure anymore, but eventually, the world started to brighten up once again.
Birds chirped, soft wind blew across my face, and we appeared out of thin air, a different location in the middle of a lush forest. Beautiful exotic plants were present everywhere with plentiful vibrant colors.
I landed on the ground with a thud as the others jumped off, just as confused as me.
"Where?" Tart slides off, looking around confused.
"I don't know…." Stryd replied as he crept closer to me a bit worriedly. "Do any of you know?"
"Yes." Cathy's eyes furrowed as she glanced around. "We are back at the elven kingdom…"
I shifted back into my human form and stopped short. For a moment, I thought I heard wrong.
"Did you say your kingdom?"
"Yes…." Cathy slowly stated.
My mouth slightly dropped in disbelief.
"Welcome to my people's Kingdom. The City of Golden lights."
