Chapter 241 - Wrath (1/2)
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CHAPTER HAS VIOLENCE, BLOOD, AND DEATH.
Everyone looks around in confusion, even Shui, before looking back to me but my eyes never leave Bai Lei's. Suddenly, Shui looks at me with worry and yells ”STOP HER!” Too late... My eyes glow so brightly, it's eerie.
My skin begins glowing a silver color as a dozen mermen come rushing over to me. Power rushes through my veins as my body seems to come back to life. A sonic blast is released, instantly knocking all the mermen back!
The one holding me flies back twice as far as the others. When I turn my silver gaze back to Shui, he slightly flinches and looks up. His eyes grow large before looking back to me with sudden understanding.
The moon's close... I don't even need to look, I can feel it. It came... it answered my call and is now fueling me. So this was it? Because Bai Lei and I both deal with the stars? We're so far away and disconnected from the night sky and stars so we could no longer tap into our power? Whatever, I don't care anymore.
”GRAB HER AND BRING HER UNDERGROUND!! NOW!!” Shui yells turning around to face Bai Lei again. His purple light is back but Bai Lei just smirks at him as his eyes glow an even brighter shade of red. Is he feeding off the moon's energy as well?
”Hahaha... you made your first mistake in grabbing me,” I say suddenly able to walk along the bottom of the ocean. I take a step forward as Shui turns to face me with the first signs of fear on his face.
”Your second mistake was trying to keep me as a pet,” I say taking another step but this time the ocean floor beneath me begins to crack. Shui's eyes dart to the sandy bottom before darting back to me in true fear.
”Your third and finale mistake was trying to hurt my man!” When my foot comes down again, the entire ocean floor under me begins to split. I release a blast of water blades, instantly cutting into all the surrounding mermen coming at me. Blood begins to fill the water as heads and other body parts begin floating everywhere.
”This is sushi you damn overgrown goldfish!” I say slamming my foot down onto the ground. The ocean floor gives way and splits! The crack runs all the way over to the two pillars holding Bai Lei and as I send water blades to cut the golden chains, the ground causes the pillars to collapse.
Sand flies up in every direction, bathing everything in a white cloud before it begins to settle again. When you can see everything again, Bai Lei floats above the open crack with an evil grin and red glowing eyes.
The cracks along the bottom of the sea are glowing as lava begins to lift out and if I had to be honest, Bai Lei kinda looks like a demon rising from the pits of hell. He reaches over to the chains on his wrists and begins snapping them like threads.
Shui grits his teeth and releases a strange call, no doubt calling for backup, and quickly attacks Bai Lei. Bai Lei lunges at him and they meet halfway, instantly causing a shockwave to fly out around them.
I turn to face the army coming to us and watch with shock when a portal of some kind opens in front of me. Ai, Mogui, and Hundun come flying out, blades out and ready. We all momentarily stare at each other in shock before Ai screams ”Nova!! We've come to save you!!”
