Chapter 318 - Chaos Return (1/2)
-----
SPLAAAASSSSHHH!
Suddenly, water filled the entire temple where Chaos and Aruliel were fighting the Forbidden One's Ego, finding themselves submerged in the swamps of the outside world of Amphibi!
The frog had suddenly vomited them, it happened so fast that when they finally realized something was happening, they already dropped over the swamp ocean…
”Graahh…! What the…? I am free? Then I don't have anything to do with these fakers! I am out of here!” thought the Forbidden One's Ego, swimming away from the temple while Chaos and Aruliel were being dragged by the water turbulences.
Chaos quickly manipulated the water using his water-attribute magic, and rushed forward, chasing down the Forbidden One's Ego with Aruliel at his side.
Meanwhile, the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu quickly tried to swim into the surface while dragging Froggo and the other two summons, coiling her tentacles around them to not let them get caught by the strong currents.
She quickly used Psychic Communication, Telepathy, to speak with Chaos.
”Chaos-sama! I have successfully caught Dura and I am healing her soul, and I have also secured this inferior amphibian life form and the two other incompetent summons, so you don't have to worry about them!” she said happily, expecting praise.
Chaos nodded while chasing down the Forbidden One's Ego with Aruliel at his side.
”Well done, you've done more than I thought you would, I will compensate you by giving you a true name soon, for now, make sure they survive, and seek Abyss and the others!” said Chaos.
”Understood!” said the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu, feeling excited that she might give a true name in the near future, she swamps to the surface of the water, looking around as she floated in midair!
The first thing she encountered was… a giant frog looking down at her!
”Aaggh! S-So this was the thing that swallowed Master…! I-I have to get away from it!” she said, quickly flying away.
Meanwhile, the frog had just vomited all the things it had inside, even the lost temple, and even the temple with the sealed aberration made of combined fragments of the Forbidden One, that the ancient Saint of Amphibi had created, which the frog had once accidentally swallowed!
Nesephise sighed in relief as she stopped singing, she felt completely drained out of all her energy, as the frog mother looked at her with contempt, she was someone that was very similar to those two Saints she had once met.
There was the first Saint she met in the past, the one Saphibian woman that helped her defeat the aberrations that had attempted to devour her several times when she was a small baby frog, and the ones that were filling the world with miasma and had shaped it so differently from what it used to be back then, this Saint was someone she held dear, and although she was already long gone, the near-sapient giant frog recalled her within her memories.
And the second Saint she met was the one that had asked her to release her child which the giant frog mother had swallowed wrongly, it was a Saint that later on helped her in defeating invaders from the outside, the first waves of Mindflayers, who had tried to take over this planet because it was fitting for their preferred living conditions of warm and humid places, but were ultimately defeated by her and the second Saint…
So for her, the giant frog, the Saints were important figures that she was able to understand with their songs. She had originally eaten Chaos and Aruliel because they had annoyed her, but she now decided to bring them outside, alongside anything else as a way of redemption.
”Saint… You're… the third Saint…”
Suddenly, a telepathic message reached Nesephise's mind! It was the giant frog's voice!
