72. His Evil
SKYLA.
The darkness that surrounds me is raw,
unearthly, and sickly.
It’s hard to explain, but it’s like a plague that should never have touched this planet. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Apophis’s evil spreads far around us all, but it’s the eyes of the large snake that now
burn into me.
I sense Royce jump up beside me and I’m glad he’s here.
He’s concerned and worried for me and with
the fact that we need to be careful how
much power we use, I’m worried about him
too.
Aleric is injured. I can see the wounds on the
body of the snake and even Royce has
several cuts and bruises.
“You’re the third target. Be careful, Love.”
He says quietly.
I glance at him. ‘Always.’ I say through the mind link,
Damn, I’m glad I have that ability. Even if he
can’t reply through the mind link, I can at
least talk to him.
A flash from the crystals beneath me
captures my attention and I stare at my
reflection. The stripes I had seen earlier
have faded, leaving in its place a dark silvery
metal coating to my entire body.
There’s something different in my Lycan
form too. I look more… more slender, more
feline-like, yet I’m bigger, stronger and
faster. 2
I bet I could outrun Dad now. 4
The large medallion that is wrapped around my neck proudly displays the sign of Bastet
and the eye of Ra.
Turning back to the large snake before me, I snarl menacingly.
Third target.
Like he could ever kill me.
‘It’s a shame really, you tried to have the Lycan King, and the Solaris King killed but you failed… You’re afraid of me, aren’t you?’
I say, making him hiss in rage.
He thrashes his tail violently, making the
entire ground tremble.
He’s just over half the size of one of those huge ass death noodles, but the power exuding from him is immense, making
them look like they’re just little ringworms.
or some shit.
‘I will never be afraid of you.’ He hisses.”
You are a fool to think so.’
We may be talking, but I am analysing every
movement he makes.
He may be in snake form, but his powers are
vast…
“We have the firepower to cause damage.”
Leo murmurs.
“I guess your weapons are impressive indeed
….” Dad mutters. “Make sure everyone stays
back and clear from this area.”
“Ri…” Mama’s voice. 1
Thank fuck she’s ok.
“I’m here.” Raihana’s voice comes. She’s
quiet, emotionless even but I don’t have
time to wonder. “We need to move further
back… I can sense his power… be ready for the entire earth to be destroyed.”
“Princess, are you alright?” Dad’s concern
is clear in his voice. She’s next to them
because I hear him murmur a ‘come here’. 4
“Sephora killed him… so I killed her.” She
whispers to Dad, but even when speaking so quietly, I can hear her.
“She deserved it,” Dad replies quietly. 3
“Everyone who is not fighting against the serpents, move back by another hundred
yards.” Dante’s command comes.
Honestly, he sounds like he’s fucking chilling out. There’s no tension or unease in
his voice, despite the situation before us. 3
“We’ll wait on the command to take this
motherfucker down.” Dan, one of Leo’s Five
remarks.
“He has some sort of poison on the tip of his
tail,” Leo murmurs quietly.
‘Noted.’ I say through the mind link, and Mama relays the message.
Let’s do this.
‘Are you ready for the consequences of making a god your enemy?’ Apophis snarls.
‘Sure, only, I don’t see a fucking god, but
just a worm who needs to be squished.’ I snarl back, glaring into his dark, slitted eyes.
Looking into his eyes is draining, similar to
the way I feel when I look into Dante’s. But
even a fool would know that Apophis is far
more powerful. 2
He is a god, not a Demigod… but I also know he isn’t fully here. He’s channelling more and more into Aleric, but the only way he can fully ascend is if the barrier is opened properly.
I glance at the sky, seeing it waver and flash as the Death Noodles attack wildly.
‘I will give you one final chance. Bow to me and you may just live!’
He’s fucking lying, but if he thinks I’ll buy that shit he’s more of a fucking idiot than I thought.
“The barrier is weakening.” Delsanra’s
voice comes.
“I can feel it too.” Uncle Liam replies.
“He’s possibly channelling his abilities into Aleric. From my understanding, he actually isn’t fully here. Your best fucking chance is to finish him fast,” Leo says.
‘Understood.’ I reply through my mind.
If this is the power of a god that isn’t here… what is the power of a god if he is present?
‘Time to die!’ Apophis hisses as he darts at
Both Royce and I move as one as I dart to the side as his head crashes into the
building where I had been standing
moments earlier. 2
‘You’re the fool to think I’m some easy target! Remember that it is Bastet who always destroys your evil attempt! It’s
laughable how much confidence you have in yourself.’ I sneer. ‘As for you, Aleric, the fact
you gave up your body to a worm shows you really are worse than I thought!’ I snarl as I dodge attack after attack.
An explosion that shakes the ground goes off and I am thrown back, only for Royce to catch me as we both brace ourselves against the impact. A serpent hisses, launching at us and Royce intercepts it.
‘I am here, and willingly allowing Apophis to channel his power through me!’ Aleric hisses. ‘Do not mistake my willingness for
cowardice!’
‘Right… give yourself a fucking clap on the back. It’s not like you did something good.’ I
shoot back. ‘Then I’ll simply take your
Gherkin size dick out of fucking business. Tell me, shall I slice it up or dice it? 6
He rears his head, lunging at me with rage.
‘Do not insult me, you whore! We both know it’s not a fucking gherkin!’ 3
Wow, someone has ego issues.
‘It is compared to your brother’s!’ I taunt, as I block him – swinging my sword, this time I manage to slice off a few scales. He roars as he thrashes around before turning his blazing eyes on me. 3
I feel the rush of power within it, and he ducks, slamming into the side of what is left of the building, destroying it in its entirety.
I glance at the sky, seeing the waver in the thin sheet of the barrier.
I need to hurry!
“Think you could use some of that magic in your fingers to create a glassy slippery-as- fuck ground when we begin the attack? It might force him to shift.’ I add to Royce through the link. 1
He doesn’t reply, but I see him lower his head in a tiny nod.
Perfect.
‘Await my signal.’ I say.
There is nothing more to say. It’s time to
end this now.
