279 King of the Sea (2/2)
”GAAAAH!” He turned around and swiftly made a back right swing of his hand but I wasn't there anymore. I grabbed the dagger I threw earlier and before he could look at me...
*CRACK!* What?! Not again! I tried to pierce his neck but my dagger shattered again! Does he even have a weak spot?!
”AHHHH!” He caught my left arm and crashed it! Shade's passive didn't work because of this damn rain!
”GAAAAAAH! DARK ABLAZE!” I concentrated my mana in my mouth and released dark flame right to his face! LET GO OF ME!
*BASH!* AACKK! A freaking headbutt! My attack was useless and used his head to hit my face with it! He broke not only my nose but almost my whole face. I tried to pull myself together but my right eye is severely injured that I can't see using it!
”OVERHEAT!” There's no way I can escape here so instead, I have to remove his spell on me to make Shade useful again! I overheated and my body burst into flames removing every water on me and at last, I was able to use shade's passive and he lost his grip. I tried to move back but...
”LIZARD KING'S WATER BURST!” He released a large amount of water directly into my body and I hit the ground, breaking the ground and almost every bone I have...
”I'm surprised. It looks like this is your...”
”Don't joke around. I can still fight. Is that all you can do?” I said... but oh jeez... that's all I've got. I guess I wasn't that strong as I thought... I'm standing on my left foot, my left arm's as good as useless and my face is way too injured that only my left eye is working. Thankfully, I can still sass because my mouth is still working.
”YOU'RE SURPRISINGLY WEAK! YOU'RE NO LEADER! I PITY THOSE WHO FOLLOW A WEAK MAN LIKE YOU! YOU WANT TO REACH THE ISLAND BUT YOU CAN'T EVEN DEFEAT ME? THOSE PEOPLE WILL SLAUGHTER ALL OF YOU! IF YOU CAN'T DEFEAT ME, HOW CAN YOU DEFEAT THEM?! YOU'RE SURPRISINGLY STUPID!” His aura... way too overwhelming. I did my best but I guess this is where our adventure ends...
”Sure, I'm stupid... but I still have friends who would do stupid things with me,” I replied... Ugh... that's the last thing I could say.
”THEN YOU WILL BE SURPRISED ON HOW I WOULD KILL EVERYONE OF YOU! KING OF THE SEA'S HAND OF DEVASTATION!” I guess I would say goodnight?
*BOOOOOOOM!*
Before I could fall to the ground... someone's already holding my right arm and helping me stand... wait, what?
”It looks like you're still alive. You made us worry for a second there.” Even without seeing, I can tell it's Elou...
”Elou...” I tried to talk but...
”Don't talk. Every one of us is here, doing a stupid thing like saving you right now and we don't regret everything we did together. Now it's time for us to save you.” Damn it, Elou... now you're being too cool...
I tried my best to look at what happened and he's right... every single one of us is here and build a giant wall made of different kinds of elementals to stop the final attack of the King.
*CRUMBLE* Still, it crumbled to pieces and the King is still there looking down on us...
”I'M SURPRISED! YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE HERE... or... not. I really thought that your so-called friends would chicken out and leave you to die here alone but I guess, they are all willing to sacrifice their lives for you. You surpassed my leadership and because of that, please lend us a hand and help us take our island back for my fellow lizardmen.” Wait, what? Then you should have at least held back a little bit! Now I'm messed up!
”Huh... There's no way I would say no to that, right? I guess, welcome to Life Guild, Lizardmen.” I thought it's the end of our adventure but it looks like it's just the start.
