Chapter 1114 - The god of the sea vs a human (1/2)
The initial reaction in most of those that were there, was to run in and to try and help Mona, not because they thought she was weak, but because that was what they had always done since the beginning.
They had fought against beasts time and time again, that it was now almost a natural instinct to them, however, not all of them had faced a Demi-god tier beast before, and its sheer size had made others think twice.
Although not all of them felt the same way, as Chucky, Megan and Hana had decided to pop off into the jungle, and hide behind some of the large leaves next to some Palm trees, they couldn't help but watch what was about to happen.
”Hey, they're going to be okay, right?' Hana asked, since she really hadn't seen any of the Cursed faction fight for a long time. The last time she had seen Quinn take on an emperor tier beast in the desert, but this beast seemed to be a completely different story.
”Don't worry, Quinn, and Sil are there, and I think with them two it will be enough, let's just try not to get hurt.'' Chucky said, as he carefully touched one of the balck balls he carried with him, just in case they did need to do something.
Then there was Megan, who was shaking. She didn't want to get involved at all. She had gone away from the fighting scene and had mostly helped out Sam with his duties in the command centre. This was due to a dear friend of hers, Mitchell dying while trying to fight a humanoid legendary tier beast, back when she was still part of the Crows.
While everyone who was a leader in the Cursed had improved, she hadn't.
”I'm not suited for this stuff. I can't, I'm not like them. I didn't change, I'm still human.” Megan mumbled as she covered her ears.
”Sorry about that.” Quinn said, with his hand held out and stretched towards her. ”I'll leave you in a safe place where you can't get hurt.” Closing his fist, the shadow lock was soon activated and Megan could no longer see the beast.
As Quinn was going to move onto the other two they soon stood up and protested.
”No, wait!” They both shouted.
”We won't get in the way, but seeing you guys, the best of the best out like this, we don't want to miss it either.” Hana said, speaking for both of them, but Chucky seemingly agreed as he nodded his head up and down.
Quinn placed his hand down as he thought it would be okay. The two of them weren't weak travellers by any means. It was just with the job they were doing, only the best of the best could face such things.
”Wait a second, Quinn if you're here, who's helping out Mona in the fight?” Chucky asked.
As he stopped to the side, they could soon see Mona battling against the Demi-god tier beast and she was doing so alone, without the help of the others. They were all ready to rush in, but Mona had made it clear that she could battle the beast on her own.
”I think she will be okay.” Eno said and hearing him say these words, they had slightly agreed to stand by for the first few moments.
One of the large tentacles came down, ready to crash down on Mona chucking up a large amount of water. When it was about to hit her, raising her arm a small type of purple see through shield appeared out of nowhere, like magic. The tentacle had swung hard trying to smash her but it looked like it had almost bounced off.
'That's not an ability since she has the beast taming ability, so it must be an active skill.' Quinn thought. 'It looks like a strong one as well, even though her clothes don't look like the usuals type of beast gear.'
Mona was cotherd in thin cloth, at first he thought it was just a fashion statement along with the hat, but it wasn't the case at all.
Next though, Mona, leapt up in the air dodging another tentacle swipe, which summoned up a wave of sand in the air, she was then soon hit from above with another, but it seemed like she was expecting it, as the purple shield had appeared above blocking that as well.
However, the force from the hit above was used, and as Mona allowed it to propel herself into the beast's other tentacle on the ground. Throwing out a fist, she had made impact to the tentacle piercing its skin causing black blood to fall. Soon she started to run up the tentacle.
Now the beast was weary, as it had felt pain, and was unable to attack Mona while running up it's arm. Instead it flung it's tentacle high trying to shake it off, but as it did, she lept off and hung onto another one.
”What in the world is she doing? That looks so scary!” Hana said with her mouth left open, It was strange it looked like a small human was going up against a god of the sea, and somehow she was able to avoid the giant tentacles while going from one to another, and hurting it along the way.
”Those world leaders wouldn't get far with just their powers.” Eno started to explain. ”Think about it, in their family they probably have many who have similar levels of ability, but what makes them different, allowing them to grow compared to others?
