Chapter 42 - Silverback eel vs Javalin

Javalins mouth opened as a black flame was seen shooting out. the submerged flame moved effortlessly as the water around it started to boil and evaporate the type of heat her attack was putting out was like a barrier against the water surrounded it which surprised Damon.

He knew it was her coming earlier because he could feel her presence getting closer and just before the wave took him under he saw her enter the river.

Javalin's tail wrapped around one of his arms as she pulled him along swimming at a fast and smooth rate. looking back all he could see was bubbles everywhere and mud from the bottom of the river which made the area milky from the explosions.

seconds later they reached the river bank and Javalin let him go as he climbed out spitting up water while trying to catch his breath breathing heavily.

Boosh!

woosh!

A thundering splash was heard behind them as the head,neck and upper body of the silver back eel aggressively shot out the water. seeing it above water it's features were visible.The Silver back eel was sapphire blue with a cloudy white underbelly sparkling silver long bladed fins 3 feet high from its head,stopping 2 feet from its tail. The ripple-like fins were Sharp and looked as if they could slice through steel with needle point tips...they were thin and there were 3 rows of them side by side.

"oversee."

[Silver back eel, lesser prime beast.]

[spatial body of water Ability]

"Javalin and it are at the same levels." he thought upon seeing the information.

the silver back eel was much bigger and longer than Javaline but their maturity level was the same. in fact compared to Javalins size the silver back eel was a mamoth.

"you don't have the advantage here anymore you've lost your chance." Damon said with a smile as dark clouds covered the area. the rumbles of thunder echoed in the air as heavy rain began to fall. "bodies of water isn't really my element but THIS IS MINE." he said lifting his hands up as the rain fell.

Crack crack Boom !

spoosh!

a firebolt shot out the storm cloud and crashed into the eel, at least that what Damon thought, seeing part of the river blast upwards until he saw a black fire ball heading a few meters in a total different direction. and a stream of high pressure water shooting forward.

"the hell, how is it that fast, I'm sure it was there the second my attack landed."

both Javaline and the eels attack clashed as Javalins attack evaporated the entire jet stream on contact but also burned out seconds later.

Damon then began clasping his hands together once again pulling them apart slowly as demonic ki sparked and crackled.

"wait Damon, I think you should sit this one out. your attacks levels are way too low. I know and that's why I'm using demonic ki instead." he responded to shield.

"I don't think that matters either, your demonic ki is stronger than your regular one no doubt,but your ki pool says otherwise. you should limit your Demonic ki use until you learn more about it and your ki pool is higher, otherwise you'll burn out fast."

Damon decided to take shields word and sit this one out. he was about to attempt the same demonic ki spear attack he used when he first saw Bay which shield scolded him for because it took a chunk of his ki pool.

"sometimes it's good to just watch and learn." shield added after Damon dispersed his attack.

the eel humped up its back as several silver dorsal fins shot up in the air, one by one they shot towards Javalin as she slid one way then another side winding dodging each fin as they stabbed into the ground. four blue lights appeared 30 meters up and large circles that were auqua blue in color emerged. each circle had a large body of water Within them.

the eel disappeared from the river and it's head poked out one of the bodies of water above.

"woah, so that's it's spatial body of water Ability. it's not totally confined to the river." Damon thought.

it's mouth opened as multiple silver balls shot out as soon as it did, its head sucked back in and did the same thing from the 3 other large bodies of water which was basically an aerial portal of some kind made of water and spacial space.

Damon moved back with two static jumps as over forty small silver balls rained down towards him and Javalin.

He was already a good distance away from them but the attack the eel performed covered a great distance and so this resulted in him getting out the way further.

Javalines eyes flashed red as multiple black flaming balls began to rain out the sky activating her obsidian flare skill.

seeing this skill for the first time it looked as black flaming golf ball sized meteorites were raining down along with the eels attack. each black flame intercepted every silver ball curving and turning in many ways before they reached her on the ground.

Boom!boom!boom! boom!

multiple and scattered explosions could be seen throughout the sky as they collided. seconds later silver drops that looked like rain hit the ground and began to sizzle literally melting chunks of rocks and dirt.

"hmph, those silver balls are some type of acid it looks like." He said watching the show.

With Javaline limited to being on the ground and with the eels spatial ability Damon honestly didn't know if Javalin could pull it off.

Javaline fired another obsidian flare but this time they remained suspended in the air above the water portals . the eel emerged once again from a portal to her left side and soon as it stuck out its neck to attack it was struck on the top of its head by two balls of flame.

The eel let out a loud screech as it is head shook and retreated back in and once again it came out on the other side in which the same occurred once more. it was like playing wack the mole.

"hmph, then again maybe I was wrong, I still have much to learn about Javalins power." Damon said watching the battle closely.

suddenly streams of water shot out of all the portals at once and combined together. it was now a massive body of water floating in the air.

"so it can still attack from the portals without showing itself as well. hmph the tables just keep on turning it seems." he thought.

the large body of water then thinned out spreading far and wide as it morphed into the head of the eel stretching it's neck out with an open mouth. as the eels new attack came after Javalin more black flames that were still in the air shot down but this time the eels attack prevailed and continued forward.

The attack was too fast and it's range was too wide spread for Javalin to completely evade. the water shaped image of the eel swallowed Javalin while as it crashed on the ground taking a large chuck of land with it.

"fuck this, I have to do something.wait look." shield says stopping Damon's movement.

seconds after the eels attack and Javalin being swallowed by the replica eel made from water it shifted into a giant ball of water and Javalin could be seen within it swimming around unharmed but seemed to be trapped.

The eels head emerged from one of the portals once again and then it's entire body which now could be seen as clear as day. it was at least twelve foot long and four to five foot wide. it's head was around the size of a pumpkin.

Damon watched it as it made another portal next to the large body of water it had Javalin contained in and realized what it was doing.

"so it doesn't have to come completely out to switch from portal to portal but when entering a suspended body of water it creates it can't just simply appear within it. and even though it is completely out, it immediately set up another portal in the direction it wanted to go." he thought trying to guess how exactly it's ability works.

now that the silver back eel had entered the body of water it created, all the wave like portals disappeared.

"so it thinks it has a better shot at defeating Javalin by using a more physical approach, sadly it's mistaken. it actually had a much better chance keeping it's distance." shield says seeing the scene through Damon's eyes.

it looked as if they were watching a fight taking place inside of a fishtank the size of a small pond. the outside of the body of water would ripple with each attack and Damon could see everything as the water was a clear beautiful turquoise color.

Damon couldn't believe it and thought back to his previous words from earlier. "Damn it, I thought I would have the advantage because I was out of the river and it's natural element, I wasn't counting on it being able to do such a thing. it can literally make is own damn stage to fight inside." he thought.

The eel was superior when it came to swimming speed and agility underwater. using it's large long backside the eel swung it's tail sideways like a large bat with force trying to hit Javalin.

Beforehand Javalin released a series of obsidian fire balls at the eel upon it's entrance, but unfortunately the large body of water it created had perks that could be seen easily.

Javalin's attack was way slower and the fire didn't last long at all unlike when she was in the river. her obsidian fire ball looked as if it tried burning the water around it evaporating it like the river water but it was clear to Damon the cage of water they were in was not regular water.

so before the flames could even touch the eel they were snuffed out. Javalin's eyes flashed blood orange as she activated semi paralysis. with this move the silver back eel movement became sluggish after looking Javaline in the eyes.

Javalin's mouth opened wide as she moved towards the eel swiftly wrapping herself on the back side of the eel stretching her body and bit down but nothing happened. the silver back eel skin was too tough for Javalin's fangs to break through so Javalin's tail twist and turned pitch black and crystalized.

Her tail then raised back as she delivered multiple stabs that went through its defenses. the eel shook violently from side to side fighting the partial paralysis and trying to knock off Javalin from its back side.

Pschhh! pschhhh, pschhhh!

the silver 3 rows of fins on it's back going to its tail began lighting up as its eyes turned silver. seeing this Javalin felt it was time for her to let go, but before she did completely her fangs sinked into one of the open wounds she had made with her tail infecting the eel with her lethal poison.

the silver spiked fins shot upwards from the eels back, but hit nothing as Javalin had already let go and was now swimming under the eel moving out the way, but now that Javalin was close enough she quickly looked up blasting three obsidian spheres close up to the eels underbelly. with her being so close the effects of the water didn't matter as part of the eels underbelly skin wrinkled up and charred a bit from the intense heat.

the silver back eel wounds worsened as a particular open wound started to swell and the eels flesh surrounding the wound began to turn purple. it thrashed around in pain as the large body of water came crashing down out the air.

Spoosh! Splash!

the area was literally flooded for a few seconds before the water disappeared entirely leaving the eel on the ground thrashing and nashing it's teeth screeching loudly.

Damon walked up closer as the eel thrashing movements slowed down.

purple liquid seeped out the wounds along with a whitish grey color liquid which was Javalin's venom and the eels blood. unlike the trolls Javalin killed in the city with her venom that almost instantly swelled their bodies up releasing a pungent scent of death the eels body was swelling much slower but it had became almost completely immobilized.
