The Luwesuchus roared ferociously to the air and the sea causing great turbulence to the waters of the harbor furthering scaring away any persons that might be near the premises.
With its long serrated, razor sharp teeth, and its strong tail, it destroyed lots of ships around the harbor. While most people were able to get away from the Luwesuchus ravages, some were not so lucky, they were caught amidst its tantrums and destroyed their place of refuge _ the ships.
Iode stood at a dock and watched as the Luwesuchus lay waste of the harbor ruthlessly. Now he has two jobs to do, one is to save the people caught in the beast's devastation and the other is to drive the it away.
"Since I'm quite versed in magic spells including advance level ones, i should be able to deal with it fairly ". Iode said.
He looked at the surroundings, he noticed that the habitat of the Luwesaur is sea water, an idea came to his mind. He could use the water against it, but it would take tremendous amount of energy, which is not a problem for him since he has lot of mana pool in his vessel due to decades of trying to breakthrough that only increased his mana vessel and mana pool.
"Frigus perpertuos". Iode casted as he pointed his staff to the sea. The sea water around the harbor starts to freeze, freezing the ships and the Luwesaur together, but only the Luwesaur's torso and tail froze, its head and neck were still free moving.
The spell worked better than expected, probably because of the assistance of the staff. Seeing the effect of the spell, Iode decides to step on the frozen water to get the stranded people off the sea.
"Everyone! Get out of the ships to the docks, the sea is frozen hard enough for you to run!!!" Iode shouted at the top of his voice.
People from the ships that haven't been destroyed yet starts to get off them and running towards the city. Among them, a man probably in his thirties went to meet Iode after hearing his loud call and said to him:
"Mr, you have to help us, some of the sailors have been frozen with the sea, look at those broken ships, there are people there ". He said.
"Tch ". Iode clicked his tongue, of course whenever there's a pro, a con would be lurking not too far.
"Please follow me, i can't get them all out by myself ". Iode said to him.
"Alright ". The man said as he led the way, but he alone didn't go, four others followed them.
The six of them went towards a destroyed ship that was close to the Luwesuchus. They found four people stuck in the frozen water, most of them were wounded and couldn't move by themselves.
"Sauna heater". Iode said. The frozen water around the four wounded starts to melt, they were quickly carried from there so that they wouldn't sink. Getting away from the devastated ship and running towards the docks, the Luwesuchus was roaring and trying to move, to break the ice relentlessly.
It shook it body very violently, the ice starts to crack, cracking fast, so fast the fleeing bunch could see the crack move past them at their feet, but they kept running. Through it relentless efforts to get free, the Luwesuchus manages to release itself and starts to walk on the ice even though it was wonky and awkward.
The ten people could see this knows they are all in hot soup. Iode stopped his track and said:
"Keep moving, I'll deter it from following you, go!".
The man who asked Iode for assistance also stopped and said
"What! you want to stop that thing all by yourself? It literally a mega fauna, you can't beat it, it's suicidal". He said trying to stop Iode from going.
"Worry not about me, I've faced a mystical beast before, i can deal with it, now go when you have the chance ". Iode said as he immediately leaped towards the Luwesaur.
The man stood still for some time before leaving the spot. Iode moved towards the Luwesaur and said:
"Sauna heater". He casted to liquify the ice surrounding the Luwesuchus
"Aqua torpedos". Water from the liquidfied area gushed up to the Luwesaur's body, dragging it down to the deep.
"Frigus perpertuos". Iode casted again to resolidify the ice.
Phew, the hard part has been dealt with and the Luwesaur won't be back for a while. He stood still at the spot, panting heavily, the spells he casted especially the ice spell, zapped a huge chunk of mana from him, luckily, it not all drained. He stood there momentarily not because of his drained mana but because of something that was on his mind.
While he was facing the Luwesuchus, he felt an energy, similar to his. When did he start to sense energy from others? He couldn't even sense Anushka during their first meeting, well, everything starts at a point in time, and to Iode, now is the time.
While he sensed the energy to be similar to his, it was different, quite different from his, there is only one explanation to this, the Luwesuchus was being controlled by someone who has a contract with a devil.
Iode was quite stunned with what he found out, there are still people out there who are willing to contract with a devil, he is not satisfied with himself having an unintentional contract with Valier.
This person is just like Zenobios in Igor's book, does the person wants history to repeat itself?
'Nah, the original five and the dark magicians were able to sign contract with a devil without having consequences to the planet, unlike the demon infestation '. Iode thought.
Suddenly, underneath him a huge ice crack appeared and it was getting bigger. Iode saw it and leaped away from the spot, but unfortunately, the Luwesuchus sprung out from the ice, opened its wide jaws and clasped them on Iode, sandwiching him between the palate and the tongue, then, it had him swallowed.
