Chapter 119 - (2) (2/2)
Always so proud of being half an Olympian, the daughter of Athena, gave her the confidence to do anything. Always eager to show off whether it be her knowledge which she had plenty of or her fighting prowess, but now it was abundantly clear, that she was not as strong as she thought, not even close, battles like this were way beyond her.
Clenching her fists, and gritting her teeth, she promised she would change and not make the same mistake if she got out of here in one piece. She knew what she had to do if she wanted to be smart and strategic like her mother. She had to first realize her limits and not go rushing into something she was ill-prepared for.
It was at this time they heard the muffled screams of their siren friend from up above. The creature now hurt and angry suddenly began to dig down, pushing those trapped into another awkward position as they were shuffled around in the dirt as it was now more interested in escaping the noise than dealing with them.
Theoric who was getting reading to blast energy up in an attempt to force the creature off was thrown for a loop when it retreated deeper into the earth. Not sweating it, he readjusted his priorities after taking a few seconds to establish his bearings after being jostled around. He then extended his energy to link up with Sigyn and Ann before shooting up and out.
Blasting through the ground, Theoric came out with Sigyn and Anna in tow, landing in front of the waiting Siren.
Holland ran up giving them a hug- ”I'm so glad to see you're all fine, I was worried I made things worst.”
Sigyn feeling the most put off by the events hugged everyone just as strongly- ”I was so scared, I'm so happy everything turned out alright.”
Anna wishing to redeem herself, used her quick wit to ask Holland,- ”Why did you use your scream? In that situation, you should have used your enchanting voice.”
Holland blushed in shame knowing she was right but tried to justify it anyway- ”What if I attracted its attention but wasn't able to control it.”
Theoric wiggled his way free- ”Don't grow complacent, it's not dead yet.” and then as if on cue they could feel the earth rumbling beneath them.
Seeing the girls taking positions and Nina and Io heading towards them after seeing them hug, unaware that it wasn't over, Theoric made his decision- ”Girls, you have all been wonderful, but it's time for me to do the rest alone, take Nina and Io away and protect yourselves while I take care of this.” he said pulling out his 2 handed double-edged Asgardian black sword for battle.
The girls wished to argue but knew better as they all reluctantly left with only Anna lagging behind to ask- ”Are you sure you can handle him alone?”
Theoric grinned as his eyes turned to his sword, choosing to respond with a question of his own- ”Have you ever seen me fight with my sword before?”
Anna had one last question nagging her- ”I've seen you form energy around your enemies before, can't you just do that and end it fast, like maybe even form energy within the creature and kill him instantly?”
Theoric sighed- ”If only things were so simple, but the stronger something is the harder it is to form my energy constructs near them, so yeah much weaker things, sure I can end it fast, quick and in a hurry, but the strong ones... The strong ones, I can't do that, the stronger something is the harder it is to form things in their personal space, everything radiates a certain amount of power, the stronger you are the more you radiate making it far more difficult to form something, of course, this is also proportional to my own power, so as I grow those who were once considered strong and now turned weak in comparison, I'll, of course, be able to once again form energy right on them and end it in a flash if I so d.e.s.i.r.e.”
Theoric feeling the rumbling growing as the creature grew closer- ”Now hurry and go, I got this.”
