Chapter 32: Chapter 32
As soon as I reached the "Old God", I initiated with a punch. I enjoyed starting the fight like this.
*BOOOOOM
My blow was blocked by one of its legs. I would not allow it to rest. With that blow I realized that this "Dark God" is stronger than me. But that's okay, all my enemies tend to be stronger than me anyway.
I had taken advantage of the stroke movement to swing one of my wings and use its inertia to hit harder with the tentacles.
*BOOOOM* *BOOOOM**BOOOOM**BOOOOM**BOOOOM**BOOOOM**BOOOOM*
But the shell that covers its entire being is very resistant.
-I don't think I did him any harm.
I had four arms, two on each side. So I took advantage of the second one and used it to hit the "chest" or "belly" of one of his segments and push me, trying to retreat and evaluate a better form of attack.
Too bad he wouldn't let me. With my blows connecting, he had swung the opposite way to mine, one blow. One that hit with its sharp paws and embedded itself right into my shoulder.
*PPPPUUUUUSHHHH
This gave me an idea.
-Since you won't let me run away, then let's dance closer, heh-heh-heh.
I grabbed his paw with one of my hands and kept it embedded. It hurt, but it doesn't matter. All the dark energy it throws at me, it's like empowering me. It dies its will as soon as it enters my fortress, my temple, my body.
Since he is bigger, but thinner, I decided to take a gamble and swing. In this way, I wanted to unbalance him and force him to fall to the ground.
Again it was a pity. He didn't care that I moved him erratically and just took advantage of the moment to hit me with another one of his paws. This time in the chest.
*PPPPUUUUUSHHHH
"*clip clip clip clip clip clip* Shik-shik-shik-shik-shik-shik. You are weak."
I smiled as I looked up, as he towered over me.
"That's right. beaten and bleeding, yet you will fall to be food and increase my power."
"Shik-shik-shik-shik-shik-shik."
He just laughed and hit me with another one of his claws. This time there were two more, in the same locations on the other side.
I was now restrained on both shoulders and sides of the chest. He had many more legs, but only 4 free upper legs.
I smiled and with the tentacles of my wings I clung tightly to his legs. Two tentacles for each leg and the last two I used as a whip, since I took advantage of the movement I was making to whip his sides with each wobble I made.
-I don't expect to do much damage with this, but nothing lasts forever, and that armor must break at some point. When it does, it will be my time. *Glup*
Suddenly I felt below me a small flow of water that began to rise little by little.
-The best thing about this fight is that I'm not fighting it alone, hahaha.
I used with my tail my elemental power to generate even more water, which I sent towards Neptulon. I didn't need to do anything but help him quickly generate a lot of water.
In the midst of this, the "Old God" must have realized what he was doing. Using two more of his paws, but this time one hit me in the head and the other in the neck.
"Shik-shik-shik-shik-shik-shik. I won't let them help you, little one. You're my prey and you won't be saved from me!"
I just smiled. I'd lost 3 eyes on one side, but not that it mattered, I still had about 16 more....
Since I knew he was rushing to "kill" me, I just used my hands to hold the paw that was digging into my face and the other on my neck.
Little by little they were sinking deeper.
-Insects definitely have more strength than they appear to have.
Hang in there. I knew I would get help, so I just kept sending water. I hadn't used my other "heads" yet. It wasn't the time, but my whips kept hitting his sides. I had been changing little by little and without him noticing, the shape of the tip of the tentacle where it hit his side. Now it looked like a sledgehammer with small spikes.
-I'll soften my food first.
Suddenly an explosion resounded near our dance.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
Some of the heat reached me. Ragnaros and the rest of the elemental lords that had been left behind were slowly approaching. It seemed that the huge amount of ultra-developed insects were acting as a shield and distraction, preventing a rapid advance into the enemy lines. The good thing is that again multiple elementals had merged forming huge swirls of fire, and helping their elemental lords with a great storm of icy water that froze the small flying nuisances.
Soon the last two front legs were embedded in my head and the other side of my neck.
-So you plan to decapitate me using your legs as scissors.
As I had all his upper extremities embedded in me. Now I could totally cling to him.
With 4 of my heads I bit his other 2 legs and held them steady. Then I start my plan.
"Know the power of fire, insect! and Purify yourself! "
I shouted with glee for having imitated Ragnaros this time.
I used more than half of my fire elemental magic in the attack. But I had managed to guide the fire into his being, by superficially attaching myself to his body.
"SKREEETTTCCCCCCHHH"
-I guess that's a cry of pain?
With the fire setting his body on fire, I took advantage and began to pull back as I pulled with all my might on his limbs. All this time I had been whipping him and "dancing". I had been studying how much his insectile limbs could rotate and hold before they could not take it anymore and broke free from their sockets. So I pulled and pulled, and from his joints I heard cracking sounds.
"JE- JRE-je-je-jre-Je-Je-JrE. What's the matter, can't you stand the stifling heat of the flames consuming your being, where's all your talk about eating me, you stupid foul being!".
"SKREEETTTCCCCCCHHH"
"JRA-JRA-JRA-JRA-JRA"
With one last tug and amidst my laughter, I managed to remove his limbs non-surgically and without anesthesia.
*CRAAATTTCHHH CRAAATTTCHHH CRAAATTTCHHH CRAAATTTCHHH ?
*CRAAATTTCHHH CRAAATTTCHHH CRAAATTTCHHH CRAAATTTCHHH ?
* CRAAATTTCHHH CRAAATTTCHHH * CRAAATTTCHHH * CRAAATTTCHHH
"SSSKKKKKKKKRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEETTTSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH".
I shrieked in agony as I pulled further away with all his limbs still inserted deep into various parts of my being.
Its legs were like sickles that possessed a blade with an edge that cut my scales with relative ease and its points easily stabbed my armor.
I quickly tore off the limbs that were strung across my body, and the thick black blood began to flow rapidly.
My head hung by a thick thread of flesh. It had been held in place by the sharp legs of the "Old God" that acted as a support. The legs I had stabbed into my head had embedded themselves beyond my brain and came out the other side of my skull. I practically no longer possessed a head. It was just a torso with lots of tentacles.
-It's the first time I almost had my head cut off and the first time I had my brain liquefied... Hahaha.
In the midst of my laughter, I didn't realize I was actually laughing.
"HRIARR-HRIAAAR-JHRIARG-JHRIARG".
Only now it sounded more distorted, as if someone scratched the record.
With two of my heads, I simply held my main head, which was hanging, back in position. Soon the meat filled the empty holes.
-Almost like sewing... almost.
When I fully regenerated, I tore off the limbs on my chest and more dark blood flowed.
-These scythes would be a good weapon...
While I was healing my torso, which had been completely pierced from the front to my back. I attached to my 4 hands and 4 of my tentacles, the legs of the "Old God".
-Mmmm, so, that's how it makes this edge. That's good knowledge.
I soon mutated all my tentacles and used the cutting edge to improve the cut.
-Now only the rest of his being is left to learn how to make stronger scales. These are not much use...
I observed how the "Old God" was still suffering from the fire and the loss of its main attacking limbs. But I was surprised to see how little by little it regenerated its legs...
-If I can do it, so can he... *Glup* What little I tasted of his power tasted amazing... This thirst is strong.
I couldn't allow him to fully regenerate, so now that I was fully recovered, I launched myself to prevent him from finishing.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
As soon as I approached, I received a blow from him that pushed me back. He had used his whole body as a whip, so by hitting me he pushed me away and caused great damage to me.
-Luckily I protected myself with the strength of my blows and my arms that served as a shield. With my tentacles acting as shock absorbers I didn't take as much damage, but it did send me away with that blow.
It didn't take him long to regain his lost limbs.
"Shik-shik-shik-shik-shik-shik."
"What's the matter insect, did I scare you so much that you had to push me away, pathetic."
"Clip clip clip clip clip clip"
He didn't respond and just made that annoying sound with his mouth tongs.
Again I approached. I knew what to expect this time.
-Let's start with a spell then.
I threw a stream of ice water at him. I was hoping to do him some damage, and indeed there was a result. They may not be very noticeable, but I saw how his limbs moved a little slower. His body, on the other hand, was perfectly fine.
-Well, preventing their attacks is something.
As soon as I was about to lash out again. I listened to Ragnaros.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, feel my fire, insect!"
A large fireball had struck the "Old God" in his side.
"SKREEETTTCCCCCCHHH"
He had received burns, but did not appear to have received that much damage.
-Hehehehe, so fire is his weakness. Well, I don't blame him. Ragnaros' fire is truly powerful.
I didn't want to miss this opportunity and launched myself again against the "Old God".
-This time my tentacles will do the job and I'll save my hands for another time.
Using a "flapping" motion I brought my 10 tentacles to strike both sides of the "Dark God's" shell. They all hit successfully, but the copied edge of their sickles did no major damage.
-At least he left some visible marks. This guy is tough.
The "Dark God" again used his body as a whip, but this time he took advantage of his sharp legs to drive them into my body.
As soon as he hit, I was expecting this. I only defended myself and allowed him to stab me, but I used the tentacles of my "wings" to cling to him and those of my "legs" to cling to the ground, managing to stop him and prevent him from using himself again as a big sharp whip.
I received enormous damage. His 8 upper and 4 lower sickles, had been thrust into different parts of my body. He had lunged with the intention of pushing me off doing as much damage as possible, but my upper weight had stopped him, although causing me a great deal of damage in the process. Its free head had taken the opportunity to attack the only area it could reach, my "head". I was being devoured by its "mouth". I lost half my face in seconds, but it was okay, I had a little surprise for him for lunging so desperately to "kiss" me.
-And there goes my first kiss as a being in this world.... I hope it's a woman... although I wouldn't be too happy if it was, still, it's a comfort. But, wait, it's eating my head off, it's not a kiss. *SIGH* I almost had a fit, I want to get to marriage pure.
While I was thinking nonsense, I had taken the opportunity to change the shape of one of my heads and stick it into one of the joints of his legs. It stuck easily and began to dig into his flesh.
"SKREEETTTCCCCCCHHH"
-While this thing eats me alive, I was doing the same thing, it's only fair.
I did the same on the other side and then with the rest of my 6 heads. I was rapidly devouring its "torso", "segments" or whatever this is called. But as soon as I thought my victory would be near, suddenly the segments I was feeding on were disconnected and absorbing its power. Leaving only its 12 legs and its "head" attached to me.
*PLLLUUUG
-He just left me dancing with his upper torso... this is a new level of "standing me up". His bottom just disconnected, and walked away, like a puppeteer who doesn't want his puppet anymore. Also, it made a sound like the "Plug and Play" toys....
Confused, I did not want to continue playing with what would literally be a "doll" and devoured it, absorbing it quickly.
-Now I understand how it's so hard, hahaha. This nasty thing is made up of layers. This "Old God" just invented "bulletproof glass". But in a shell version, not so much trouble with its fragile edges and more disgustingly creepy.
Author's Note: What's up? XD.
I invite you to comment your ideas, advice, thoughts and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. I am constantly trying to improve. With your help I could do much better and faster. Unless I'm already doing well... Who knows? XD
By the way, the protagonist has not yet lost his first kiss. This "Old God" was devouring him from his upper eyes inward. Imagine a female mantis eating a male mantis, something like that XD
WARNING: The next chapter will contain some explanations. For now I will sleep for a while and I will try to bring out another chapter later. I wish you a good day and a good night. ^^
Destroying is something we can all do, but guiding, only the wise... I couldn't forget to say my final "deep and poetic" sentences XD.
