Chapter 56 - On The Edge of Defeat

"Back off!  You will only kill yourself!"  Velix shouted when he saw Bozak almost inside Posei's open-mouth cavity.  Unable to let that happen, Velix immediately shot his arrow to hit Posei's back.

The arrow managed to hit Posei, causing him to disappear as if swallowed by rain.  But a second later his body reappeared in the form of a dense coil.

"Damn!"  Velix cursed.

The rain was still pouring down heavily, a very dark cloud filled the sky as if it had swallowed it tragically.  Lightning struck, sometimes exploding in the sky as if to destroy the universe that surrounded the earth.  Static electricity made intermittent movements, sometimes swooping down to grab an object or vacant land that was already filled with water.

Velix immediately swerved over his giant arrow, legs trying to balance themselves in the pouring rain.  His eyes narrowed and growled especially when he saw Bozak trying to escape with his smoking body shape, but he found many failures because Posei always managed to block him.

"Bozak, go back to the prison first!"  Velix soared upwards, looking for a space that would put him right above Posei's shapeless head.  His hands stretched out a bow as well as a string, locking onto the target.  Shortly after, an arrow shot and hit Posei's head.

Posei's body disappeared again, leaving Velix's arrows in an eternal void.  Velix aimed his arrows to look for Posei's traces, but the traces were undetected for a while.

"Damn, what game is he trying to play?"  Velix's arrows had become crippled and powerless.  With a slightly stomping pull, Velix directed the arrow to return to his quiver.

Then he darted to approach Posei's prison that had locked Bozak in.  Now there was no gap at all for Bozak to get out.  Without feeling discouraged, Velix had shot his arrows repeatedly to make a hole in Posei's prison.

"Come out when you have found a space that you can use to get out.  Did you hear me?  General Bozak?"  Velix's arrows emitted dense energy that would explode if they hit the wall built by Posei, which was shaped like a thick-colored egg.

There was no answer from inside the prison.  Velix thought that Bozak was starting to weaken, so he decided to exert himself even harder.  Repeatedly his arrows shot and hit Posei's prison, making it pierced with great clarity.  However, it turned out that no gap could be formed because Bozak never got out of prison.

Velix was panting in the pouring rain, and also in all his strength starting to drain away.  He looked in all directions, unable to find Posei.

"If Posei had died then his prison walls would have disappeared as well."  Velix widened his eyes, swept his face repeatedly, finding Posei's dense energy prison that still confining Bozak, the Healers, and the Awakeners as well.

Velix went around in various directions looking for Posei's figure, during his efforts who was still trying to keep shooting his arrows so that the thick prison around his allies could be destroyed.

The wave of energy in Velix's arrow finally exploded violently, against the prison wall that was confining Bozak.  A hiss was created, during the rain that was still pouring with an intensity that did not change.  A puff of smoke rose and began to block Velix's view.

Back then he was sure that he would at least be able to weaken Posei's prison walls, and that he could get Bozak out.  So Velix shot back upon his giant arrow with a flight that started to wobble a bit from weakness.

Velix circled the prison that locked Bozak.  "Bozak, are you inside?  Are you out already?  I'm sure you can get out.  Can you hear me?  Shout out if you hear me."

There was no response whatsoever from inside Posei's prison.  Velix was already panting and accidentally swallowed the rainwater that tasted a little sour.  He choked because of the water, his body bent with one knee to support.

In front of his eyes, the great battle was still going on, during the pouring rain and also in the raging lightning.  Five hundred thousand years ago the battle was indeed quite fierce.  Even though they almost lost when the legend wasn't born, at least their strength could still be balanced for quite a while.

But now it's different.  They had lost for a very short time.  Velix realized that, and it made his spirits plummet even more.

Not wanting to drag on he regained his strength.  The hand grabbed the arrow in his quiver and started shooting an arrow filled with a fairly dense wave of energy.  The waves couldn't explode now.  He could only go off slowly like a smoldering bomb.

Velix sighed, feeling his entire body begin to become very weak.  He shouted again to call Bozak, but there was still no answer at all.  Then Velix circled the surrounding area, watching the cores of the universe which were still revolving with two cores that created a vortex and protection at the same time.

Deciding to go back, Velix finally moved back down.  He was now focusing on escaping the Awakeners.  In the middle of his journey, he cursed himself, "Why didn't I just try to free the Awakeners earlier?  You stupid Velix!"

Velix launched his arrows, in the midst of him who kept mumbling to curse at his stupidity.  In the midst of it all, he realized that he was relying heavily on Bozak to defeat Posei.  But now Posei was nowhere to be seen.

"Wait a minute!"  Velix hissed after launching an arrow and not making it through the prison that locked the Awakeners at all.  He repeated the attempt several times, and the result was still the same.

At the end of the shot of his arrow, a mouth suddenly popped out, a very large mouth, with the exact width of the prison confining the Awakeners.  It was as if the mouth had swallowed the prison in its cavity.  The prison's size and mouth were like a small hut that was used by the rained and jostled Awakeners to stay.

Velix's eyes widened and he screamed, "Posei!"  Velix tried to escape by turning back his giant arrow.  His movement was very fast, penetrated, and also split all the water that was pounding him from any direction.

Velix swooped down to avoid the prison that locked Bozak, almost crashing into him if Velix didn't rush to the side.  He jumped to avoid the tip of the rock protruding.  His leg slipped and almost made him fall into a puddle of water when lightning suddenly struck.

Velix looked back, looking for the spot where Posei was, while his hand tried to reach for his quiver.  However, before the movement of his hands reached the goal, Velix rolled over and fell into a puddle of water that was starting to rise because suddenly a thick and large hand shook his giant arrow so that Velix lost his balance.

Velix tried to reach the air as his body fell back against the water first.  Now he was floundering in the water because he didn't feel unprepared.  As his body movement began to smooth out, lightning violently struck and stung his body in the water as he failed to form protective energy.

His entire body was electrocuted until it made his body stiff and as if paralyzed for a very long time.  His blood and body seemed to tremble, amidst the exploding water right around him.  A puff of smoke-filled Velix's flesh, he was weak with some charred body parts.

Now he couldn't move much when a mouth suddenly swallowed him.
