Leyland Adventures

Versus The Angered Spirit, Umibosa

Leyland Adventures Chapter Twelve: Part Four

The twinkling, static stars laid throughout the cold, night sky. The delicate winds pushed the leaves of healthy trees; the moonlight spread its beautiful glow throughout the grass. With a stomach stuffed with steak, Tysashi arose from the table.

"Thank you, Alfred. That meal was delicious. Well, time to fight Umibosa."

Just as he approached the arched doors, Aradressa's words halted him. "Tysashi, please return safely." Their hands were conjoined as their glimmering eyes met.

"I promise."

"Do you have all of your gear equipped?"

"Of course, I couldn't leave without it. If I can beat the Water Goddess herself, then I can beat the one under her rank. I'll be back before you know it." He freed himself from her grasp. His charming smile was the final view she had before his figure disappeared behind the door.

"Ease your worries. He'll be fine." Marissa took her hand down Aradressa's lengthy string of hair.

Entering the Kula Outlet, the area swarmed with few fairies. From children to adults, his eyes viewed them all. Multiple stores and shops were closed; the atmosphere drowned in deepening gloom and silence. Streetlights lit the path ahead. Numerous citizens glared at him. He soon arrived at Orchtune and the population had decreased. His head orbited the various closed shops.

"So this is Orchtune...pretty nice. There's so many gear shops. So much space." He told himself.

The further he walked, the more buildings he spotted. Even the rectangular library shrouded in darkness was in view. The population dwindled ever further as if extinction occurred. Eventually, he arrived at Shanghai Lake. The area appeared devoid of life while the white moonlight rippled across the calming waters. With his eyes fixated to the water, he retrieved the shard and commenced the chant.

"Umibosa, Umibosa, Umibosa!" He yelled with stationary pupils. He could feel his hair rocket upward in anticipation, though nothing occurred. The light of the shard was reflected across the water, yet no Umibosa. His eyebrow automatically rose as he returned his attention to the shard itself.

"Did I...do it wrong?" He wondered, inspecting the item and the lake once more. Before he recited the chant again, the water quaked intensely. It wasn't long before the water transitioned into a pool of black goop. The moonlight was afraid to shine down as Umibosa emerged from her eternal bath. Her extensive hair dripped with darkness as her dead, white eyes viewed him. The shard made up her right eye, begging to be freed. Fitting her gigantic figure, she unleashed a powerful roar. Her hair screamed along with her.

Snakes of darkness were launched towards him at impossible speeds. His trusty necklace activated in this dire situation, allowing him to perform perfect dodges. A mighty fireball warmed up in his hands before he launched it at the murky foe. The attack shot right through her stomach, leaving an opening. This gap was soon repaired as the liquids sealed it.

"I can't do anything from here; I gotta get closer."

A wave of black goop gushed from her mouth; Tysashi fought back with his pyrokinesis while having an internal argument with himself about his strategy. Their forces countered each other; sweat ran from his forehead to his chin. Suddenly two enlarged fists targeted him from the sides. At the last possible second, he sprung from the ground and dashed up her arms. His shoes sunk by the inches the longer he ran. Umibosa flung the insect off her arm, spewing more liquids. Like a potent dragon, he evaporated her attack. She sent her rushing arm towards the gliding teenager. Just as her massive fist barely touched his nose, he shouted the magic word.
