Chapter 115 - [Chapter 113] Vine Raptors

Orange Wave breaks from his stupor as he slowly pulls the robe off of his arm and gazed at it with amazement, he flips it over and there is my signature symbol on the inside, a cat slime with wisps of smoke flowing off of it. He takes off his old robe and gently puts on the new one, tears forming in his eyes.

"I would of never thought I would be wearing something as amazing as this..." he trails off as he begins to sob silently, "...since Mom and Dad left, I have had to take this job to take care of me and my little brother.....thank you."

I stop waking for a moment and nod before I continue walking. As I walk up to Jack, he looks at me with admiration through his helmet as he places his hand on my shoulder, "I always thought you were heartless, seems you are slightly human."

I glare at him as he suddenly yelps and pulls his hand back. Where his hand once was, there is now a hole closing rapidly in my suit. "Let's go." I say as I walk into the forest. He looks down at his hand and sees a small hole in his finger armor as a droplet of red falls down. 'Nope, still ferocious.'

Orange Wave follows us into the forest silently as we walk, the sound of leaves softly being squished under our feet. After a few minutes of walking, we come across a cave covered from head to toe in vines, making it hardly noticeable. "Get ready." I say with my demonic voice, causing Jack to silently pull the massive sword from his back. Orange Wave nods as he holds his staff at the ready, the stone glowing slightly as a circular blue pattern slowly appears on top of it.

I step forward as my mask splits in two and black fire is blown onto the vines. I suddenly hear low shrieks as the ground rumbles slightly. Suddenly, a large mass of vines bolts out, covered in black flames as it screeches in pain. It eventually rolls on the ground and dies as the vines are charred black.

I look over at the entrance, suddenly realizing that it had sacrificed itself to take and gather all the flames. Another one bolts out as it's shape is now discernible, it has 6 legs on each of its sides as it's bug like head and layered carapace wriggling with life as it's entire body is made of green vines.

It looks at us as my mask reseals itself. Suddenly, 20 more have already crawled out of the cave as I swear. "Fuck, it's an entire nest!" My figure grows slightly as my scythe unfolds, giving off a cold air. Jack sneers as he looks at the cave, "Nest? Bring it on!" He yells as he swings his sword and slams it onto the ground while murmuring a plethora of magic at a speed seemingly inhuman.

The ground suddenly erupts in spikes where he aimed and hits one of them head on, causing it to shriek as it is impaled on an earth spike. Sap and green liquids start to flow from the impaled body as it pools on the ground. A group of them charge at me as they scream their war cries. With one swift movement, their shrieks are silenced as their headless corpses fall to the earth with a soft thud.

Suddenly, a wave of green flows from the cave as an ear piercing amount of screeches fills our ears. I see that they are about to spread out when suddenly, a water barrier forms from the ground, funneling them towards me. I glance at Orange Wave as his face is creating rivers of sweat from his concentration and exertion. I hear Jack suddenly yell, "Let the massacre begin!" As he jumps into the wave of vines.

Waves of wind are unleashed from his blade as he constantly yells the magic language with ferocity. I hear screams echo from the creatures as green and amber colors sparkle and rain about, slowing them down by a significant speed.

He has probably killed dozens as he continues to swing his sword, it's pristine white color now green and amber with the fluids of the creatures. "Switch!" He yells as he leaps over the 4 foot barrier of water.

The Vine Raptors continue to flood towards us, charging over their ally's corpses with immense speed. I lean low as my armor glows a faint red. Suddenly, my speed increases even more as I swing my scythe through the massive amounts of sap filled creations. They scream as I mow them down but the wave seems to never end as more and more flood from the tunnel. I suddenly hear Orange Waves voice as he yells, "I'm about to give out! My mana is almost empty!"

I look over at Jack as I yell while trying to keep my mouth closed, "Can you replace the water with earth barriers?!"

He continues to breath heavily as he responds to my muffled message, "I haven't mastered it yet! I can try though!" He flicks his sword as he stabs it into the ground, cleaning it of the sap and green blood. The sword glows as he chants and the ground shifts around me as walls begin to rise, raising the water barriers even higher to a height of a total 3 yards.

I smile as my mask opens and a jet stream of black explodes forth, scorching the massive wave into flames of black as they spread through the green wave like a plague. The front wave didn't even have a chance to react before being scorched to ashes, the only thing left being a bright green opaque marble.

Screams echo through the cave as my red glow gradually disappears. The wave of green turns black as the Vine Raptors are scorched to death. I look at the mass of creatures as I try to resurrect then. 'Arise.' Ping!

"Resurrection failed, creature doesn't contain soul."

'Damn, having a massive army like this would of been pretty amazing.' I think as I look at the cave entrance. 'But we aren't finished yet.' There is suddenly a hatred filled scream as the ground shakes beneath my feet. 'Mama is angry.'
