( Back to the present. )
[ Atlantis Shipment Harbour, Deck 2 ]
" I believe this armored bonehead belongs to you lot, right!? " Theseus, son of Poseidon comes in, while his hand grips Dreadbone's head, as he squirms to free himself.
"( Grah, so strong... )"
"( Dammit, what's his body made of!? )"
"( How could someone be so strong by filling his body with 'water'? )" Dreadbone asks himself while he has no hope of freeing himself.
In his struggle, Dreadbone sees his fellow Elites, all looking at him while preparing themselves for battle.
" Ah... crap... "
" Guess this... is... my fault... " Dreadbone sighs while his head is slowly squashed by the finger's grip.
" Guess, I'll un... summon... myself... " Dreadbone says this, as he takes a breath.
" Take care... " Dreadbone then 'un-summons' himself, retreating into the shadows as his body becomes the shadow liquid itself.
< [Black Shadow Elite VI: Dreadbone] retreats to the shadows. >
* Silence. *
" Really, ... "
" I mean really? " said the Black Shadow Elite as he saw Dreadbone retreat.
< Summon: [Black Shadow VII, Sieben-Federn the Six-Winged Griff] >
< Skin: [Black Shadow Humanoid Form] >
< Level: 97 >
Sieben-Federn, immediately shows his furs from his humanoid hands, shifting them into sharp feathers as he shoots over Theseus.
< Skill: [Scharfer Schlag (Active)] >
*Clank clank.*
The feathers bounced back as soon as they all landed on Theseus' body, bending and breaking all of them.
* Theseus raised his eyebrows, making a provocative expression. *
" Okay, that's supposed to work...? "
" Wasn't my Shadow form made by adding the same 'materials' that master added on Dreadbone? " Sieben-Federn sees it destroyed, not even hurting the target, wondering if there's something wrong.
" It's not you, there's nothing wrong with you... " said Rachina as she shot webs over Theseus, in the eye.
" Gah... " Theseus tries to rip it off from his head but fails.
" The thing is wrong is with That One... "
" It seems he is as strong as Sireena and Our Master said. "
" Or perhaps even stronger, to even think he beat the likes of 'Dreadbone', one of our muscles... " Rachina webs Theseus further, knowing that her sticky webs might hold him off because of its very materials.
< Skill: [Sticky Strings Spray (Active)] >
Rachina sprays the strings of her web toward Theseus, binding him greatly, and preventing him from moving despite his resistance.
* Theseus struggles and grunts. *
" He still moves... " Rachina holds the web, followed and supported by the Abyss Feeders and Feasters Black Shadows from her Division, they hall webbed and try their best to hold him.
" Thanks for the help! " Sieben-Federn then shoots his feathers, he increases the sharpness this time, making sure he hits him with the sharpest of his attacks.
" More, more, more! " Sieben-Federn shoots it all but none of them even penetrates his skin, not showing any kinds of cut, not letting his blood out even a little bit.
" Dammit! " Sieben says as he then hears a huge growl.
* Garganto growls. *
" Dear Garganto! " Sireena calls him, but without Sireena's command, Garganto immediately charges over the webbed Theseus during Sieben and Rachina's assault, he lengthens his aquatic-monstrous arm, extending his hard punch attack over Theseus in his webbed state.
* Theseus grunts, he feels pain a bit. *
Without spending any more time, Garganto quickly shifts his hands into a more gigantic form, hitting Theseus harder than the one he did before, striking true to the Demigod while the web still binds him.
Garganto ragefully growls, hitting Theseus more and more in front of the Elites themselves, even they are surprised to see him doing it more than them.
" Your 'Vice-Elite' always astounds us, Sireena... " Sieben says when witnessing all that.
" He did all that while his body is not added with some 'enhancing materials' like me and Dreadbone...? " Sieben asks, he witnessed Garganto's great strength, in front of Sireena, his owner.
" My dear... " Sireena witnessed Garganto going all out in the moment, shifting his body even more.
< Skill: [Maximum Monstrous Trench Body Shift (Active)] >
< [Black Shadow Vice-Elite V, Garganto] Body Shift to the max. >
< [Body Shift Form: Maximum Extend Natural Trench Revelation] >
* Garganto Trench growls loudly in his gigantic Trench form. *
< [Black Shadow Vice-Elite V, Garganto (Natural Revelation)] >
< Level: 98 >
< Race: Trenchatret Cepheus >
* Garganto growls. *
Garganto releases the 'tentacles' from his body, the ones he hid within his 'normal gigantic form', the ones he used to kill the Nymphs back during the Aeaea Island Attack* and during the ones earlier.
Using those tentacles, Garganto used its very muscles to pound over Theseus, grabbing him and slamming him everywhere, trying to break the Demigod as hard as he could.
* Garganto slams Theseus hard. *
As he slams him over time, Garganto doesn't finish, as he continues to pound him even at the ground, harder and harder, before finally preparing his final strike.
* Garganto charges his final attack. *
His muscles harden, all of his energy and muscle are concentrated into his right hand, and all of the tentacles support it, it hardens and sharpens, spinning around the hand like a drill.
Garganto growls while Theseus is still on the ground, he immediately launches his fist towards him.
" Good, Dear Garganto! "
" Finish him, don't let any dear time wasted! " Sireena says to her greatest warrior, using all of his monstrous revelations to destroy the one who destroyed the Trench back then. The Ravager from Atlantis.
As Garganto strikes, being shouted at and commanded by Sireena, Garganto launches himself fast toward Theseus who is still on the ground, as he crouches, knees bent like kneeling before Garganto as he strikes.
But before the strike lands.
* Huge Explosive Hit. *
* Silence. *
" ... "
" ... "
" ... "
" ... "
" Dear... Garga... " Sireena stutters while Garganto stops his attack, his mouth slowly releases black liquids, while he slowly witnesses what happened to his body.
* Garganto tries to growl. *
" You waste no chances, beast... " said a voice, as the voice came from a man who charged and punches Garganto right after he bent his knee. He wasn't doing it to kneel, but instead, he did it to make his momentum during Garganto's charge of his attacks.
As he does it, from within him, releases a huge powerful fist strike, its explosive waves that shatter and slice everything around, including the webs that bind the front of his body, freeing him of the very bind that restrains his very movements.
" I must praise you, all of you... "
" You all who had restricted me with the greatest of strategies... "
" All of it is great, you all deserve my praise. " Theseus says as Garganto falls, with a hole in his stomach.
* Garganto stutters as he falls, retreating into the shadows. *
< [Black Shadow Vice-Elite V, Garganto] retreats to the shadows. >
" But sadly... " Theseus continues as he comes out, his body is filled with liquid around him, the very liquid from...
" It seems, these webs are made from something... liquidated... "
" Something that I..., could absorb... " the liquid from the webs around his body starts to get absorbed, giving him new kind of strength after some enormous beatdown.
" Now, to praise you for your attempts. "
" I will make sure to defeat and bring you before the Lord of Atlantis! " Theseus vows, as he isn't playing any games now.
