The mother worm leaped at Myles, opening its mouth wide and looking to chomp on his entire upper body in one go.Myles crossed his fingers. “Carnage Shield.”An invisible shield formed before him and not only stopped the worm but also skewered its mouth with energy needles that extended out of the shield, making the mother worm scream in severe pain.It was as if thousands of thin needles had pierced its body and reached deep inside. Moreover, electricity leaked out from those needles and shocked its body in a way it produced flames. Straightaway, it looked like the worm was being cooked from the inside. The mother worm was instantly enraged like never before.It grew in size to the point it was as big as a whale, and it sprayed its toxic saliva at Myles with all the hatred in its gut.However, thanks to the carnage shield, the acid couldn’t even touch Myles.“Nether Rise.” He uttered, and the sandy ground around the mother worm cracked and black flames burst out and roasted the mothe
Blood began leaking out of Myles’ eyes, ears, nose, mouth, navel, and more. If it was someone else, they would have probably suffered a heart attack and died already, but Myles somehow bore the severe pain. He had to. Even though whenever the spiritual poison acted up, he felt terribly weak, he had to bear the pain, as showing any form of weakness would only make things worse for him.“Void Drain.”He put his hand on his chest and drained the poisonous vapor of the mother worm out of his body forcefully. While that helped ease the pain a little, the damage was already done.(One moment of carelessness…) He collapsed forward in a way his cheek hit the ground. And he passed out.The cobra crystal appeared in his hand, though his hand was clenched at the moment.The aerial barrier surrounding Maria, Rosie and others vanished into thin air.Maria was the first one to wake up. Looking around, she had no clue what had happened. Her eyes suddenly widened as she remembered the moment the gian
“Die!” Verella leaped and swiped her claws at Maria. “Bhel Cross!” Flames burst out of her claws and exploded upon impact. Maria activated the Aqua Field in time and suppressed the explosion but she was still pushed back. Verella swiveled toward Rosie and whipped her leg from above Myles’ body. “Great Dragon Cleaver!” Rosie blocked the attack by making a cross with her forearms, but her forearm utterly broke, and Verella’s shin pounded Rosie’s face and sent her rolling back on the sand like a rag doll. Her nose turned into a grotesquerie, and blood poured out nonstop. (She’s built differently than Blue Dog.) Rosie lifted her right hand, and the water from the ocean came to her like a living body and boosted her healing capacity and also stamina. Her broken nose and arm began healing at a rapid rate. Verella looked surprised. (Drawing sustenance even from salt water?) Now she understood why Maria looked so young despite being in late forties. (They have a huge advantage in this loca
They say people who rarely get angry would turn into demons when they do get angry. That was definitely the case for Shreya Soso who once held a comfortable position in the top 1000 alphas of the world.She did not care if there was an innocent civilian or an ignorant ant on the beach. She gained control over every sand particle sight and forged giant desert blades out of them in millions and cast them on the alphas that were fighting and flexing their arrogance on the beach.It happened too fast for those involved in the fight to be able to dodge them. Both Verella and Maria got struck by them head on. Rosie, however, was able to create a spinning water sphere around her that managed to neutralize the sand blades. But Rosie was worried about Myles because he was unconscious and not in a position to defend himself.For a long fifteen seconds, terror reigned over the beach. By the time all the blades crashed down, the border wall in that region was utterly destroyed. A massive depressi
Rosie collapsed on her knees as the liquids in her body bubbled and went out of control.“Elemental fields are one of the strong points of the dragon crystals and what make dragons such terrifying creatures,” Shreya uttered, “but the elemental fields can only be used when the caster is calm and composed. And when you lose your temper, I can easily bend your water sword or even make your bones fly out of your body ONE-BY-ONE.” Shreya gestured with her finger, and much of Rosie’s hair was forcibly pulled out of her scalp, making her scream some more.“What should I pull out this time?” Shreya asked. “A tooth, or your trachea bone?” she shook her head. “No. I can’t give you a quick death.”Shreya gripped Rosie by the hair and ground her teeth as she remembered Ayan and how the city was destroyed because of Rosie and Maria.“I’ll disintegrate your body cell by cell,” Shreya focused her gaze, and the skin on Rosie’s face began to peel off, making her squeal and groan.Meanwhile, Blue Dog a
Cries of civilians floated on the wings of the breeze. Myles’ heart thudded deeply in his chest as he saw their souls rising up into the sky, sprinkled about like stars.Seconds. Minutes. Time kept rolling, and each breath held little to no meaning as he sat there, doing nothing but watch the alphas fighting for the cobra crystal and not at all caring that the citizens were still dying from the attacks of the prisoners that had escaped.Myles’ attack ‘Mystic Shower’ had destroyed all the baby worms, but he hadn’t foreseen the probability of the prisoners escaping and attacking the people and the remaining mages even in such a sad situation. These criminals showed how much hatred they held against the common people and the cobra city in general for keeping them behind bars. Most of them were also mages, and they cruelly killed people without a second thought, and some even got wicked pleasure out of it.These actions aggravated Myles, to say the least. While he did not really care for
“I know she has a strong water ability,” Blue Dog glanced at Shreya, “but you think she can make it to the nearest island safely, while carrying her daughter who’s only going to be a burden? I find it hard to believe. Only Doyens can do such incomprehensible things.” “She’s not a Doyen yet, but if she learns to manipulate oxygen in the air, then she’ll be an extremely difficult fighter to beat for any alpha in the world,” Shreya opined. “We must take her down before that.” “So you really intend to go after her.” “I lost my precious library, and you also lost your precious students. All because of the Aqua Duo.” Neither Shreya nor Blue Dog knew that it was actually Lexi who brought the mother worm to the city, and they thought the mother worm somehow managed to infiltrate the city. Mother Worm was known to be weak in water, so it must have stealthily snuck into the city through the transport vehicles, they believed. Either way, it didn’t matter now because the city was already destr
“I regret leaving you,” Casey fell to her knees and cried out till tears overflowed out of her eyes. Even the clouds in the skies wouldn’t produce water so fast. “That’s the worst decision of my life. And it was Kong who made me do it. I swear I won’t make the same mistake again. So, please give me another chance.”“That’s…” Justin felt greatly conflicted. Seeing her cry like an abandoned little deer made him feel bad for her, but then again, he had bawled on the shore for months, hoping anyone would help him or at least be kind enough to end his miserable life, but no one heard his voice until some random stranger cared enough to not only listen but also to cure his sickness.“I’ll be obedient, Justin,” Casey begged. “Don’t abandon me here. I don’t want to die.”Justin pursed his lips. “It’s not in my hands. I’m also at my friend’s mercy.”“Please, Justin,” Casey hugged his legs and cried some more. “Please…”“I’ll take you with me and ask him, but if he rejects…”“I’m sure your frie
