Chereads / Percy Jackson and the Gaia System / Chapter 168 - Chapter 168

Chapter 168 - Chapter 168

He used blood control and made the blood inside his right index finger come out by cutting himself from the inside. He made the blood flow out to the surface of the carriage and created the Protection rune on the surface of the carriage using 1000 MP. He then used the moisture in the air to form a water bubble that healed his cut before turning to smile at Nancy.

"You look better," she mentioned.

"Yeah I just figured it was time to face my biggest fears in life."

"Being tossed around in a small metal cage?"

"No being stuck in a small metal cage with a beautiful girl," Percy spoke before he realised what he said. 'Shit! Why did I do that?! I am trying to make her not like me not call her beautiful!'

Nancy on the other hand blushed and didn't say anything. The ride then started, Percy's carriage lifted itself up into the air and slowly started to spin itself head over heels. It wasn't bad at first, but then the carriage started to move around the main mast spinning faster and faster. It spun to the left before coming to a jerking stop, which flipped the carriage, and then spun the the left. The thing basically treated them like a pair of nunchucks.

Percy's head started to spin, "GET ME OFF THIS CRAZY THING!" Nancy however threw her hands up into the air and yelled out in joy. The ride lasted for a few minutes but from Percy it was a life time.

When they got off Percy fell to his knees and panted. His food threatened to come out but somehow Percy held true;

Ping!

You now have motion sickness! Enjoy!

Percy grumbled as he pushed the box away getting on his feet. "Are you okay?" Nancy asked standing next to him.

"Water," Percy muttered as they walked to the canteen to get a glass of water. Percy downed the whole thing in one go and instantly he felt better.

"You shouldn't have eaten so much pizza," Nancy said with a smirk.

"You shouldn't have insisted on riding that death machine!"

"Oh stop whining. Okay you know what you can choses the next ride."

Percy smiled, "oh you are going to regret that."

For the next hour the two pulled the each other from one ride to the next. Eventually they found themselves sitting inside a cart on the Big Wheel. Percy smiled as he saw the sun set across the sea. Nancy sat close to Percy cuddling up next to him shivering.

"You cold?" Percy asked her.

"Yeah, I knew I should have worn a jacket," Nancy muttered. Percy smiled as he took off his leather jacket offering it to the girl.

"Here, I'm good," Percy said with a smile.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, now take it before I change my mind."

Nancy smiled and put on the offered jacket. She blinked, "wow, this is warm. What's this made out of?"

'A demon from hell,' Percy thought, "not sure, just leather I think."

Lie Successful!

Ping!

Due to constant use a skill has leveled up!

Lying, Lv-14 (20%)

This is your ability to lie to people, the higher the level the better the lie and less chance of discovery!

70% chance of success, less based on how extreme the lie is.

Percy pushed the notification aside as he and Nancy sat in silence. "Today was fun," Nancy said first.

"Yeah, thanks for inviting me."

"Well who else was I going to call?"

"I don't know...Jena?"

"Jena is great and but...well you were my first friend here Percy. You helped me out a lot, who I was a year ago is so much different from who I am now. My parents ignore me less, my sister is less of a bitch to me and for the first time ever…..I feel happy as me. And that's all thanks to you Percy," Nancy turned to Percy who blushed.

He felt himself heat up from the way she looked at him, with eyes filled with want and happiness. "I can't really take all the credit Nancy you-"

"-Percy."

"Yes?"

"I love you."

Percy looked at the girl as she slowly leaned closer. Percy's brain screamed at him to move, to stop her. He knew he couldn't ever have a proper relationship with her, even trying would result in nothing but drama. He started to panic but he couldn't bring himself to look away from Nancy's eyes. Suddenly blue turned to silver as another girl appeared in the place of Nancy.

'Artemis?' Percy though as he tried to move away from the girl. He didn't understand why he was thinking of Artemis, he didn't get it, however Nancy didn't let up. She moved forward until their faces were inches apart and slowly she closed the distance. Percy was holding his breath when-

GROAN!

Percy snapped his eyes open as he felt the entire Big Wheel shake. Nancy stopped as well and the two turned to where the noise originated only to see a giant monster standing right next to the wheel, and it wasn't just any monster, it was a Gergosa standing at 23 feet tall and it was currently reaching for their pod.

The Gergosa closed both hands around the pod and pulled it out of the Big Wheel. The metal bolts attaching the pod to the giant machine groaned but quickly broke. The Gergosa brought the pod next to it's face and tried to eat it whole.

Crack!

The monster broke it's teeth on the hood of the pod, it looked confused it would usually eat right through metal. Inside the spear the hood was covered with Percy's blood in the form of a protection rune.

"What is that thing?!" Nancy yelled out.

"Wait, you can see that?!" Percy asked surprised.

"Of course I can!" Nancy said but just then the Gergosa got bored of it''s toy. It drew back the pod and threw it into the ocean.

"HANG ON!" Percy yelled out as the pod flew faster and faster across the air. The impact of the pod on the surface of the water would destroy the enchantment Percy put on it, they needed to escape.

Percy pulled himself of the seat, fighting the G-force he felt, he drew back an arm, 'Earthquake From' he thought as he activated his Earthquake powers and his Body From perk.

Body Form Activated: Right Arm

His arm glowed green as slowly every muscle in his arm grew larger and more prominent. Percy then smashed his arm right into the pod door breaking it off.

BOOM!

That was the sound of him breaking his own enchantment. He powered down and grabbed Nancy and before the girl could even think he held her tightly before jumping out of the pod.

"YAAAA!" Nancy yelled out panicking in Percy's arms, but the demigod had activated Gamer's mind causing all distraction to disappear. Percy held her tightly and put his back to the water below, he then poured 500 MP into Marble skin turning his back into stone;

Defence- 500 x 78 Vit = 39,000 Defence

He grimaced as suddenly his world turned cold and wet.

Damage- 5000 HP!

Here's a helpful tip, if you think you can survive a fall by aiming for the water, you're an idiot. The water felt like cement when Percy's back hit it. But luckily for him the damage wasn't to bad, heck the fall didn't even break his marble skin defence. And as soon he hit the water his domain perk healed him up instantly.

Percy quickly commanded the water to pull himself and Nancy and himself to the surface where he made a frozen surface for them both. The girl was panting hard, water had gotten into her nose and so she started having a coughing fit.

"You okay?" Percy asked pulling the girl up onto the icy plain.

"I think so-where did this ice come from?" Nancy looked at ice underneath her feet as she slowly stood up.

"No idea."

Lie failed!

Percy sighed because like the box said Nancy looked suspicious, she wasn't buying his excuse, "look I'll explain later, but for now we have to get away."

The two turned and sure enough the Gergosa stood on the edge of the pier looking at them with hunger in it's eyes. It then took a step forward and jumped into the ocean. The water came up to it's head at first but as it moved deeper and deeper in the water slowly began to take more and more of it.

"Stupid thing," Percy whispered as he stood up with a smile as the monster slowly moved towards them.

"Percy we need to go!" Nancy yelled terrified at the sight of the monster approaching them.

"Relax Nancy."

"But Percy-"

Percy turned to the girl and smiled at her cutting all off protest. His smiled was warm and reassuring, "trust me Nancy, I got this."

Nancy nodded and Percy turned back to the monster. The now was in reach of them as it lifted its arm high into the air before bringing it down hard. Nancy bowed down with her hands crossed over her head in fear, but Percy smiled.
