The Bronze Bracelets

Chapter 13: The Battle Between Sea Serpents

Percy POV

Just as I made my way toward the second army I stomped my right foot on the ground and created a small earthquake to get their attention. Most of the monsters fell to their butts or tried to hold their balance. I knew that this army needed to be taken care of by myself or the campers would be brutally killed. 

"I think it's time to start the dam party." I chuckled to myself, drawing confused faces from the monsters. "Sorry, inside joke." I clarified before taking a stance and waited. The monsters finally came out of their trances and charge straight toward me. 

Just a few seconds later a telekhine threw a handful of lava trying to catch me off guard. I just swiped it away with riptide and stabbed it with my left sword, immediately turning to gold dust. A half-shark and half-male monster threw a trident at me which I just sidestep and cut off its head with one swift motion. 

Just a few minutes later of side stepping, rolling, paring, slashing, and stabbing I was getting overwhelmed by their numbers. Deciding to turn the tables, I conjured my personal hurricane. The monsters were surprised and their moment of shock gave me enough leverage to make a comeback. I slashed and killed everything that came near me. Rolling underneath a cyclops' legs while slashing both of my swords at its legs and cutting all the way through the bone. Side-stepping jabs from tridents and evading nets became a bit annoying since they were more long-range weapons. 

A few minutes later I noticed that the sea started to become wild. A tornado made out of seawater reach the beach and washed over the campers at the shore. I was just close enough to see the campers, but I couldn't identify any of them. The next thing I knew I saw the Leviathan rising from the water. Deciding that I had enough with these monsters, I made my hurricane bigger and threw all the monsters with so much force that they turned into golden dust on impact. 

I ran towards the beach with my hurricane covering me from any of the monsters coming from the water. Just as I reach the beach I saw the Leviathan hovering over my friends preparing to attack. Without a second thought, I capped riptide and summon a bronze trident, the same trident that I had been practicing with my father(Which is very similar to my father's trident by the way). I threw the trident with all my force and enhenced my powers with the ocean and earth shaker powers to create more force. The trident flew out of my hand like a straight arrow and pierce the Leviathan's skin right underneath its head. 

The Leviathan roared in pain and moved back its head. Golden ichor started to fall from the wound and soak the campers completely from head to toe. I wield the trident to come back to me and it ripped out of the Levithan's skin with a sickening crunching and squishing sound. The armor-like scales were completely destroyed, a few pieces of flesh could be seen hanging from the wound, and ichor couldn't stop coming out. 

I pushed the beast from my friends with the winds from my hurricane and pushed it back to the ocean. I approached the campers to see if everyone was okay when my eyes landed on her. She was wearing a light weight bronze chest plate, with the camp t-shirt, black combat pants, and brown hunting boots. Her hair was tied in a ponytail and she had the sword that my father and I gifted her in her hands with her bow on her back and her hunting knives at her hips. All in all, she looked the goddess she used to be, but right now the ichor running down her body being washed by the rain, just made her look completely astonishing. We made eye contact for a few seconds and noticed that her eyes were full of relief and affection. I am definitely gonna have to talk to her sooner or later about this. I thought to myself when a roar from the beast brought me back to reality. She looked at me and mouthed three words that definitely made my dar "Go, my hero." 

I smiled and gave her a nod before charging toward the sea creature. As soon as my feet touched the water it hardened and picked me up into the air. I jumped up to the Leviathan and stabbed my trident into its right eye bringing it down with both of my hands. The Leviathan roared in pain before shaking its head and throwing me deep into the sea. The water cushioned my fall and immediately felt like a shot of energy was injected into my veins.
