186 The Tenebrous Sanctum Part 3 (1/2)
The battlefield was divided into two sides with Rahz and Ridd.i.c.k facing off against the illusory serpent and on the other side Jazz and Bato confronting the physical version of the beast.
The Illusory Serpent followed Rahz and Ridd.i.c.k for a 2v2 confrontation and didn't waste anytime at all before attacking with full force.
The two copies dove down in perfect synchronization towards Rahz and Ridd.i.c.k, but right before they clashed against each other, one of the serpents disintegrated into a multicolor smoke that quickly covered the area were Ridd.i.c.k was standing. The smoke dissipated as quickly as it appeared, it entered Ridd.i.c.ks system producing a feeling of extreme tiredness the likes he had never felt before.
Yawn!!
Ridd.i.c.k closed his eyes and he was fast asleep.
”Ridd.i.c.k!!... Ridd.i.c.k!!”
Rahz called to his brother but no matter how obnoxious he was or the loud sounds coming from all the fighting around them, nothing seemed to work. The only consolation was the loud snoring coming from Ridd.i.c.k's mouth that immediately let Rahz know that he was still alive.
The other Serpent stayed in complete form an attacked Rahz with extreme agility, tail whips flew in a barrage of attacks that crashed against the knife in his hands. The feeling coming from the serpent's attack made Rahz frown, there was no pressure at all and it felt as if a fluffy cloud was cras.h.i.+ng against a sharp object.
Hmm…
The exchange was extremely fast and the barrage of attacks lasted about a minute. Throughout the whole exchange, Rahz didn't feel any pressure at all and felt that maybe they had fallen into the trap of the Wind Serpent and the real beast was the one Bato and Jazz were fighting.
”I need to finish this fight quickly and go help Jazz” thought Rahz
CHAOS BURST x 8
BLADE EXTENSION
Rahz used the bread and b.u.t.ter of the Vengeance Chamber and paired it with the skill of his teacher Giant Blade in order to dispose of his opponent in the fastest way possible. The idea behind using such powerful moves was to destroy the Illusory Serpent and conserve enough energy to make a difference in the upcoming fight against what he thought was 'The real serpent'.
The Chaos Burst increased all of Rahz's Physical attributes in a flash and as the Giant Blade made out of concentrated Chaos Fire flew through the air, it caused the Wind Serpent to panic and use evasive maneuvers to avoid getting cut but it was unsuccessful.
Poof!!
The giant blade cut the Wind Serpent in two but the moment it was divided, it disappeared into another cloud of multicolor smoke that covered Rahz and sent him into morpheus embrace.
Rahz eyelids became extremely heavy and he felt like the energy supply by the Chaos Burst drained his body of all his reserves and since the Wind Serpent was no more, he relaxed his mind for a second and after a very deep yawn he was counting sheep.
There were very few records that talked about the Multicolor Dream Serpent and they date back to the Shattering War. The ancestors that managed to survive had only one piece of advise regarding the Wind Serpent, it was to run unless they were in a group with at least 2 illusionist or coercers.
The main problem when facing the Dream Serpent was its Multicolor Aura, the longer one fought with the Illusionary serpent, the higher the chances of going into the dreamland. Every attack of the illusory serpent was encased in his dream aura and it could not be repel, it stacked indefinitely until the warrior was asleep and with all his defenses down, It was really simple for the physical form to enjoy a nice meal.
The two serpents, however, were one and the same. The Green one was the body and the illusory one was a mental projection that wielded its Psychic Powers. Anybody lucky enough to possessed this knowledge had a great advantage as they would concentrate in beating one of the Serpents with all of their energy and in doing so, they would eliminate both of them since the mind couldn't live without the body and Vice-Versa.
Screech!
The Poisonous Serpent screamed at the top of its lungs at the same time Rahz cut his opponent in two. The serpent felt a throbbing pain in its brain like she had a giant Migraine and it immediately knew that his mental projection had been hurt and it was in need of help.
