Chapter 113 - Rescuing Medusa (1/2)

Anna hearing the sounds of battle and of Medusa's anguish urged Theoric to go faster- ”Hurry, I think she's in trouble, why are you acting so nonchalant about all this? At this rate, she could be dead.” she said dejectedly.

Theoric- ”From what little information I have, I concluded that she deserves this bit of retribution from them, while it wasn't her fault for being placed in their home, it sounded like she actively hunted them whenever she could.”

Anna- ”But it wasn't her fault, think about how you would feel turning into a monster and then being placed with others who looked like you, wouldn't you blame them?”

Theoric- ”It doesn't' matter what one would do, its what one should do, and you shouldn't go around killing people based off of miss guided beliefs, you first need to learn the truth and find out whether or not they are responsible before dishing out punishment.”

Anna snorted- ”Easier said than done when you're placed in such a situation.”

Theoric- ”I won't deny that, but that still doesn't' give you the right to do bad things just because bad things were done to you.”

Anna- ”True, just don't forget your promise to her mom, or are you really going to let them kill her, after all, based on what you just said, it's what she deserves.”

Theoric grinned- ”That's true and I don't want to be a hypocrite now do I.”

Anna gasped- ”You, you, can't be serious?”

Theoric chuckled- ”Well, I'll shamelessly say I killed the snake Medusa for her sins and then I'll let the human Medusa go, she'll be a completely different person after I heal her.”

Anna just shook her head in exasperation- ”Honestly, I don't even know anymore...”

Theoric laughed- ”Haha.”

It wasn't long before they arrived near the fighting, Medusa had the high ground as she found a good position to wait for her pursuers and shoot at them as they approached, only for them to continue to evade her every shot.

She was now trapped as they closed the distance form all around only managing a few lucky strikes on their back tails causing no real damage. Doing her best to dodge the enemy's sword swings as they slowly surrounded her, gashes now adorning her once smooth scaled body with pieces missing in places where they managed to get a solid hit.

Anna cried out- ”Medusa! Are you okay?” she asked growing more and more concerned as she urged Theoric to get closer to the battle and help.

Medusa who was now fleeing for her life as she was cornered against a wall looked over to see Theoric and Anna walking over in midair behind another energy barrier like the dome she saw them in when they first met.

Medusa yelled back- ”Does it look like I'm fine!?”

Anna was stumped by the question, how could Medusa forget that they couldn't see her without dying.

Theoric feeling the same could only sigh, she must be under a lot of pressure asking such a thing,- ”Medusa, if you close your eyes, I can help you.”

Medusa who was now desperately trying to climb the wall, slithering along its edge as she took another hit from her pursuers angrily shouted- ”I'm dying here, if I close my eyes, I'll be finished.” letting out another cry when a blade bit into her tail causing her to fall back down to the waiting grasps of the others.

Anna shouted- ”Medusa! Trust Us!”

Giving up all hope she said- ”Fine, they're closed,” but only closing them so she didn't have to witness her own death as the blades of the surrounding Cobra's descended upon her.
