Dark clouds surrounded the land as darkness hid the light. From within the darkness, deep thunder rumbled and roared as if trying to summon the gods.
Lightning cracked with the intention to split the sky apart It sent shivers to the creatures of the land. While rain hit the ground with bigger and bigger droplets. Faster and faster and faster!
Pa.
Pa, Pa.
Pa Pa PA PA PA PA! PA!
I gazed at the giant demon like a snake as rain hit my face. Thunder roared behind me and lightning flashed in front.
I unsheathed my sword.
The Deviants in the whole island ran towards the house that got struck by lightning-like mad looking at what happened. This gave us the chance to fight undisturbed.
I looked at others. I knew I was the strongest, so I had to take on this beast upfront. While others had to help from the side.
They all understood my look and took a few steps back. They separated from each other by a distance and gave me space to fight.
I put on my helmet and on the black protective window, you could see the reflection of the snake. The reflection was getting bigger and more deformed.
The snake was charging at I, Dudley Bonneville. Neither I nor the snake knew that we are about to face the strongest enemy of our lives. Where a single mistake could determine life and death.
The snake opened its mouth to the full as if about to swallow me whole. It turned its head sideways. With the speed it was coming at me there was no way I would be able to dodge anywhere but up.
Just before it was about to bite me, I jumped 45° to the front. Landing at the tale of the snake, it was so got damn slippery I had to stab the sword into the bitumen.
Just as I took out the sword, I saw a tale whip coming at me. The snake was incredibly intelligent. It even comprehended that it could use its tale like that. The intelligence of this snake had already long surpassed that of any dog.
I didn't wait and knew I had to clash with it. I had to test its strength.
One foot in front of the other I focused as if about to hit a ball with my baseball hat. I was going for a home run.
Bang
We clashed and I flew back. My sword broke and my willpower shattered. The thing was inhumanly strong.
I hit the side of a car as it caved in and the whole car moved back by half a meter.
I didn't expect the bastard to have such durable skin and power. My sword couldn't pierce it all and got broken while at the same time I got hit on the ribs.
I thought they would have shattered but it seems my bones were a lot stronger than I thought.
My whole body was in pain but I had to get up. I hope my family ran away as they had no chance to survive against the snake.
I got myself together just to see Telos getting swallowed whole. My ears were still ringing so I couldn't hear anything, but then I heard muffled screams.
"BASTARD!" My dear grandson just got swallowed whole and I could barely move. Others couldn't even react fast enough to defend themselves so they were just waiting for their deaths.
I hoped I would never have to use this move.
I put my hand inside one of the pockets on my utility belt. I took out all of the Blood Crystals from inside of it. There were around twenty of them. I didn't know what would happen if I ate all of them at the same time, but if I didn't then I would die anyway.
I had to save my Grandson.
I put all of them in my mouth, barely stuffing them in.
Right away I could feel thick gas gushing inside of me as I breathed in. They had melted in merely 2 seconds.
The energy spread through my body as I felt my bones and muscles ripping apart and fixing themselves.
"Aaaarghhh!" Such pain I couldn't even breath as I stood up my hands and legs cramping. I felt power, great power, but I was sure I have to spend it quickly or it would be the end of me.
It was painful, but I felt like could destroy anything at that moment.
I looked at the snake that was about to bite on Sunlight. The bastard had it's head high and looked down upon her as if she was its pray. She was frozen stiff from fear and trembled all over. When I saw this the pain couldn't stop me anymore, I couldn't just stand there anymore!
Boom
The car behind me shattered and split in half as I used it to kick off.
The ground under my other foot caved in as I flew towards the snake.
It took me only two more steps to accelerate to my full speed. With my last step, my force was so great the ground under me cracked and pieces of the sidewalk flew out as if it exploded.
Then I jumped up and my punch connected with the snakes head. Like being punched by a hammer the whole body of the snakes got blown to the side. The skin on the snakes head cracked all over and blood came out it was temporarily stunned as it flailed around
"Don't worry. Dad is not dead yet." I said as I looked at sunlight.
The next moment I was already in the air making a hammer fist with my two hands, I wanted to hit the snake on its head as well. Unfortunately, I saw its tail whip coming at me at astonishing speed. I wiggled my body in the air as I somehow dodged it.
I landed on the ground right next to the snake's head. I didn't even have the opportunity to relax as the snake was already biting on me. The snake seemed shocked that I was able to survive its tale whip not once but twice. I had even managed to injure its head, the snake was completely enraged.
"Fucker!"
The snake bit on me as I shouted and grabbed two ends of its mouth. I was holding its mouth from its two ends as it tried to bite on me. It had come to the point of who has more strength.
It's only been a week yet this Aquatic snake had already evolved so much, it was scary to think what was happing inside the ocean. There were a lot more living beings in the ocean then there were on earth. That being the case they had a lot more food to evolve on then humans did.
That being the case it was impossible to travel on water.
Using its 15000 muscles the bastard whipped with its tail once again and hit my chest. I spewed out blood but didn't let go. The sidewalk bricks cracked under me with the few steps that I took back.
With my bloodshed eyes, I looked at Archi. She was the only hope now.
"A-archi, you must use it now while I have it locked down!" I said and with every word I spewed out blood. My teeth were bloody and my outfit being ripped apart.
Archi stood further in the distance crying for her brother. She was scared, she was still only a child after all. How could I expect too much from my children? They still had a long way to go.
The snake kept trying to bite me into two as I kept holding. My muscles had expanded beyond control as clothes wanted to rip apparat. Fortunately, they were made of the best fibres. Although the two places where the tail hit me got torn apart as I bled. The metal plates inside dug into my skin and muscles as it hurt like hell just to move.
Jason looked at me from the distance with his teeth gnashed. He held his hand and pointed his palm on me; he was using telekinesis to help him hold the snake back.
That was good. If he came close he got hit by the snake, he would be dead for sure.
Bam
Another whiplash hit me as I took another two steps back.
"Aaargh!!" I roared as strength was leaving my body. I couldn't hold it any longer.
Bam, bam, bam. One after another tale whips hit me. I couldn't understand how I was still holding.
Just then I heard something.
"L-let go of my Grandpa!"
The sky started darkening as I looked at Archi. Lightning seemed to get hit twice a second and was getting nearer and nearer to our place.
The electrical elemental energy in the air was incredible at the moment. I saw Archi squeezing her palms together as hard as she could. They were trembling as if about shoot apart at any moment. Lightning started crackling all over her hands and then moved upwards towards her arms.
"Aaaaa!" Archi started screaming as she closed her eyes. Her legs far apart to stabilize herself and then the electrical arcs reached her head. Her hair stood up and bright light started coming out of her palms as they were getting further and further apart.
She held her hands in a cage-like position with her fingers crossed, but they were coming apart more and more. She squeezed them as hard as possible holding the palms at her side for maximum strength.
Then lightning struck a tree not too far from us as I could see the arcs on her body increase even more.
She couldn't hold it anymore as her palms finally separated and she moved her arms to target the snake.
She screamed as 10 cm in diameter shining lightning ball with electrical arcs all over it shot out. It travelled so quickly that no one would ever have time to move to dodge it.
Time seemed to stop as I looked at the ball of lightning move closer and closer to the snake's head. I was still holding the snake from biting me as my chest was caved in and all my ribs were broken.
Then the ball entered the snakes head and exploded. It blew off like 2 meters of snake's body. As for me, I can only remember flying back like a broken kite and hitting the fence of our house. The force of the explosion was too big.
Before I lost consciousness, I remember Archi faint and Jason and Sunlight run to get Telos from inside the snake's body.
I was thankful to god that we had killed the little bastard and hoped that my children were alive. I wasn't sure if I will ever regain my consciousness again, but I couldn't help it any longer.
