Chapter 126 - The task at hand

Damon and kimbo was now on the defensive.

Kimbo created walls around them but it didn't take long for the acid to eat through them and continue forward. His walls did slow the attacks down but that was all.

"They are trying to make us keep our distance. I think they are waiting for that thing in the water to come back" Kimbo shouted.

Damon agreed. Five minutes had passed and the beasts were still slinging acid everywhere not attempting to get close to them the entire time.

boosh ! Boosh! Boosh !

Three explosions came from the pond as the water blasted up. Damon moved the clouds from over the pond and they were now above the gremlins. He had cancelled static daggers soon as he saw it was useless against the beast in the water but his clouds remained.

"I'm tired of these things. He said out loud while flipping off a wall twisting out the way of a acid strike.

Heavy rain began pouring down and Damon released a web of lightning from his hands. He instructed kimbo to finish them in one hit the second their bodies stiffened. It would be a short window but kimbo knew he had to try.

He rushed in behind the web of lightning while activating rock slide. Hundreds of rocks different sizes up to a bowling ball fell out of thin air hitting the beasts.

He then created the chain mace with spikes again but this time he made the energy chain on it twice as long giving him a much longer reach as he swung it hard and fast. The first swing was just a hard swipe in the air.

It released stone spikes that were able to penetrate the one Damon and Javalin had already injured because of its weakened natural armor.

The spikes hit the other one as well but they fell to the floor after the impact as it's skin was not weakened prior but this didn't stop kimbo from continuing his push.

This actually made his job easier. Seeing what occured he knew the weakened one was the best target and so he singled him out after getting closer.

They were currently fighting the effects of the lightening which dampered their movements. Damon was still trying not to use too much demonic ki. He was trying to learn how to fight smarter.

Kimbo swung the mace as it brought a twisting wind behind it as it traveled.

Bang!

The hit echoed throughout the area as acid blood shot everywhere. The gremlin immediately went to protect its ribs but with the web of lightning effects it's movements weren't quick enough.

Bones could be heard popping along with puncturing sounds of its rib meat being opened up.

The high gator gremlin fell on its back to the ground grunting and gasping for air as the area around it started to sink in the ground because of its pool of blood.

Seeing this Damon threw his soul dagger forward at great speed. Kimbo didn't finish it in one blow like he planned. It was still alive and it clicked in Damons head that he only needed a little more to fill up his soul dagger.

The dagger hit its mark sinking into its bloody side. A loud screech was heard and then the breath leaving out of its body.

The second gremlin had swiped at kimbo but was stopped as clay had surrounded its feet making it unable to move so quickly.

Dodging the strike he swung the mace again and again and again. Bashing different parts of its body until it's skin was breached.

Once that occured he attacked the same spot over and over until the beast was in the same state as the other one.

Huff! Huff! Huff!

Kimbos shoulders were moving up and down as he was a little winded. He had been fighting longer than Damon with the lowly gremlins he was dealing with earlier.

Damon went to retrieve is soul dagger and the second it was in his hand.

Boosh! Splash!

A huge stream of water shot from the cavern pond along with a beast the size of a semi truck.

Damon and kimbo dived out the way as it's rough wide feet hit the ground. It shot it's thick neck out so fast they barley saw it as the both were hit hard and sent tumbling across the ground.

Damon felt his shoulder pop as soon he got hit and the breath leave his lungs knocking the wind out of him.

Kimbo was ok he had hardened his body quick enough to save him some pain but he still felt the hit.

They both stood up at the sight of some type of huge turtle beast that was orange and green in color. It wasted no time snapping it's neck stretching with its mouth opened wide. It struck at Damon first and then kimbo very fast.

Kimbo made a wall in front of him and moved out the way blocking it's view for a moment while Damon used static jump increasing his jumping lunge speed.

It then opened its mouth again and this time the same two claw tentacles as before slid out as it stomped its feet shaking the area.

The tentacles attacked them relentlessly striking trying to grab a hold of them.

"Javalin, where's Javalin. " Damon thought looking around while bolting out the way of the claw.

He scanned the area hard and began to slick panic while thinking the worst.he could feel her presence but it was faint leaving him to think she was hurt.

"Javalin, where is she." He yelled outloud covering his hand with pure demonic ki while moving the clouds over the beast as heavy rain continued to fall.

He twisted his fingers raising them in the air merging rain drops shaping them into a surging pure demonic static water rain sword.

In frustration Damon launched the sword down while activating a new move he hadn't yet used.

A separate cloud appeared to the right in the air the size of a small car with lightening surfing and jolting around inside making a charging sound every thirty seconds.

The sword was met by the tentacle claws as both of them opened shooting jets of water out.

The static demonic rain sword pushed the water back splitting it in half for a few seconds and slowly the sword was being pushed back.

Damon had an open palm in the air controlling it and he could feel the great pressure pushing his attack back like he was holding on to it himself.

"Kimbo, do something while I got the two claws busy. I don't think it can move it's body much while using them.

It's a stronger beast than the other two so it must be on the prime level. Use your strongest attack now." He yelled.

Kimbo wasted no time listening to Damons command as his entire body began glowing white and within seconds his body began breaking down turning into a body of clay that hovered in the air.

It morphed and twisted into a large sword that was eight feet long and four feet wide.

Damon mouth slowly dropped a little in awe. "he,he, you can mold your entire body into a weapon." He yelled out to kimbo receiving no answer back.

The sword glowed satin white as it hardened and then began spinning in place. A twisting wind could be seen around it as it shot forward.

The pressure behind it was so strong the area vibrated. All of the dead bodies shook and slid on the ground a few inches as the kimbo body sword continued ahead.

The turtle eyes zoomed in on the attack feeling it's strength. Its legs retreated back into its shell and so did its head. The tentacles were so long the head of the turtle didn't need to be out.

Damon thought this was a for sure hit seeing the beast taking cover so fast but then one of the claws split from Targeting Damons attack and focused on kimbos attack.

"Ha, now it's only one. I can get through this one." Damon thought until that one claw Jetstream of water increased more.

Damon did manged to get his attack closer but the force of the water from just one of them appeared to be too strong.

"Damn it, why isn't my electricity getting through.its using water attacks" He muttered gritting his teeth a little while questioning himself.

Kimbo hit the second Jetstream cruising through it like butter splitting the water. It slowed kimbo down a little bit, but not much.

Damon watched kimbo effortlessly do something he was having trouble with.

"Just how strong is that attack." He thought.

Just when kimbo was a few seconds away from hitting its shell a third claw shot out joining the other shooting out water as well but kimbo's most powerful attack proved to be more difficult to handle as it was only pushed back a short distance and giving the turtle beast a few more seconds.

The separate cloud Damon created earlier was him activating the skill charging bolt.

A skill he unlocked after facing the arachnid pups that charges up over time with unlimited power that came from itself.

Damon was keeping an eye it as well and at the moment he didn't think it strong enough to do any real damage yet.

He also scanned the area again and again looking for Javalin. Her presence slowly felt like it was getting further away from him which made him worried even more.

"I shouldn't have let her go at this thing alone. Especially in its water Domain. Damn, how dumb can I be. I put her at risk not once but twice." He thought getting frustrated and angry at himself.

"She has to be still in the water. I have to do something fast."
