Mex turned and waved for me to follow and started a very slow jog. I was about to make a joke as I jogged up to him, but he was panting and pouring sweat.
"What is up? Did Dao do something to you before I killed him? I knew I should have killed the bastard faster!" I said as I looked back at the advancing monsters, and I noticed Mex looked at me.
I turned back to him, and he had an incredulous look on his face. I looked back at the monsters that were clearly going to catch us and then back at Mex.
"Sorry, boss, but I am going to have to carry you; where are we going?" I said as I scooped a drenched and wheezing Mex.
Mex didn't fight, he just pointed up, and I took the hint but wasn't sure what to do about it. I was still fresh with these abilities, but I couldn't take all three of these things alone with Mex like this.
"Valley… Gravity… Magic… Extreme... cough, cough!" Mex wheezed out and then started to cough.
I ran for
The two of us started to walk into the stretching forest, but Mex didn't talk right away, but he probably knew that I would be distracted. If he did, the man was not wrong because I could stop looking at the strange birds and insects that moved so strangely.The insect stretched its legs along, reaching forward and then planting afoot, and another would stretch. More than once, Mex had to put a hand on my back to keep me moving as a small bird-like creature would float by.They were like feathered balls with rippling one foot streaming flat one-inch wide bands flowing out of them. Each time one would float by, I would become distracted by its impossibleness."The world is amazing, there is no doubt about that, but we took the beauty of its Impossible naturalness and perverted it. These creatures are all Demons, and now they wander mindlessly. Demonizing a species doesn't make them intelligent," Mex said and then stopped to point at two clearly different bugs.
Back on the beach, the girls were finally starting to make some progress on the Deep Sea Bottom Piercing Sucker Boat. Keri had placed herself in charge of naming the ship, and no one complained because that was the job she had to stick with.That meant everyone else that was helping was free to do their work without being asked question after question. Keri rarely even listens to the entire answer before asking about something in the answer.The name Deep Sea Bottom Piercing Sucker Boat did get most of the boat's features in it, but it was a bit wordy. The boat was a submarine of sorts that looked like a flat bottom feeder type of fish, but many other features were being added."Do you think that you will be able to seal the boat in one of your barriers and still make tight seals? I am worried about the moving parts on the outside of the boat. The metal on the outside and then your barrier, and the rest of the inside as wood is a good idea if we can keep it dry,
[ 8/150 mins until Dao dies 2:30 after entering the Challenger Gem]Nushi stood up, but so did Kimera and Nixi. Jilly was also looking at Nushi appraisingly, questioning what was going through her head.Unfortunately for Nushi, she was subject to all the horrible ways that the others thought she was going to die now, but that would not be the case. She was close and had been for a while now but had wanted to wait for Kazz."Stop it, all of you! I can see the wild concoctions you are all whipping up in your head, but Hydie and I will be fine. Both of us are more than capable of handling anything that comes our way. I am about to increase my rank as a demon as well, but I don't know what that will mean for me after I birth Kazz's memories," Nushi explained to all of them, and the Hydie spoke up."I can protect her; in the short time since coming here, I have been able to drastically improve my barriers, and my father couldn't even penetrate them before that
[16/150 mins until Dao dies 2:30 after entering the Challenger Gem]For the Demons, they only saw a Demon girl with crackling horns that were covered in glowing red liquid from the neck down running at them.And then they didn't.An arc of lighting connected the fifteen Demons, and then they were blown back, and many others were knocked off their feet, but the girl was gone. Demons called down the line that they were under attack, and the others started to come and assist them as the call ran down the line."Do you think we should attack?" One unicorn horned demon asked, and then one with two horns on each side of his head shrugged, but then a burning stick landed on the ground.The demon with the dual horns walked over to step on the burning stick to put it out.Back over along the barricade that Jilly and Lizy created, Lani was throwing sticks from her back to the Cerberus girls but was worried. These sticks would need to be touched to be
We finally walked out of the stretching forest, but the landscape in front of us was shattered. Massive and small rocks of all sizes floated ahead, and they were not still.Rocks that looked like they were moving slowly were constantly bumping together and bubbling up from somewhere below like a slow-moving fountain. There was no way that we were going to pass through this area."What is the plan now? Is there some way around this broken fountain or landscape?" I asked Mex, but he didn't look back at me and walked to the edge instead."We need to eat, and the only edible thing is on the other side of this. It is far worse than it seems, look," Mex said and then pointed at two huge rocks about to collide, and they did, but the effect was not what I had expected.They just bounced off each other and didn't even chip. I walked up to the edge and stuck my hand out to touch one of the passing rocks.My hand instantly felt lighter, and the rock was hard,
"So wait, you and Clesh were forced together? Why would Nixi do that?" I asked, but I was sure it was just because she was a controlling witch, but maybe I was wrong."She said that Clesh was a good woman that needed my help, but it was because Clesh was a runt offspring of a B ranked Demon King. Every once in a while, a Demon of a higher rank will produce an F Rank Lesser Demon. She was not treated the best, but now worse than anyone else," Mex explained as the shattered plains fountained up behind him."So Nixi thought that if you had a child with her, you might produce a Demon that was of a higher rank?" I asked, and Mex nodded."That was the idea, but the chances of it happening were very slim, as you can see with my daughter. You should have been there! A solid week of everyone pissing themselves in terror! But I was happy, briefly. Now Nixi is forcing us to stay together because she needs her for some special magic she uses or something," Mex said with a s
“So then you want me to make all of them mine? Like the whole family tree?” I asked curiously.“Yes, and I know it is a lot to ask of you when you are already looking after so many, but I think that they will be happy. Even if it’s just to know that they have someone that cares about them,” Mex explained, and I nodded thoughtfully.“Sure, but then what are you going to do? Settle down with Candace?” I asked curiously, and to my surprise, he nodded right away.“I really like Candace, and over the years, I have grown attached to her, so I would like to make it more public for her. I also noticed what you did with Veronica, and I am curious if you can do the same for her sister?” Mex asked me curiously, but I really wasn’t sure, and I really didn’t want to bring Harold up again.“I am not really sure at the moment, but I think that we should get going, and we can look into it later,&rdqu
"You wanna go, Smegma lips?" I said, stabbing a finger into his fire chest but ripping it back in pain.It had been a while since I had felt pain from any fire, but it just pissed me off more, but Wataluga stepped between us."Alright, children, enough. Zack, we can't help you without you strengthening the bond with us. That means you interact with us more, and Fireden is upset because none of us want to listen to another one of his arduous stories," Wataluga said, and I cooled myself down and shook my finger as it healed rapidly.So, Fire Face is tired of being locked in the box with no one to tell his stories. I guess I could understand his frustration, but it wasn't like I had done this intentionally."Fine, I can do that, but you guys have to give me a break because I sure don't remember hearing this before except from Kali! So, how was I supposed to know? Ask a question that I didn't know I was supposed to ask?" I questioned, and a small, ethereal li
