May Soul Dissonance Bow Before Me

Chapter 28

Grigori and Naur waited for the children to calm themselves and then continued the record. Grigori made mental notes as her gaze swept over each of the attentive members of the audience. She was gauging their dissonance and deciding which scene to show and which ones would help along their healing process.

He could see Archie breaking through the shield and clenching his teeth. The Dragon half-blood's eyes filled with anger and shock as Archie put on his typical jackass smile and casually asked.
"What is it, you stupid bastard? You scared?"
"You rude barbarian-!"
It was the moment the Dragon half-blood expressed his deep anger. Archie could not stop sneering.
"Barbarian? You dare say such a thing in front of our future Whale Queen?"
"What?"

Archie kicked off the ground. There was a reason he could stand above the fire. It was because there were small steps made of water underneath his feet. There was someone creating those steps for him as he walked. Archie was thinking that there was a reason that the Humpback Whale Beast people always became the rulers of the Whales.

Berserk Whales. Unlike other Beast people, they did not have many physical changes when they went berserk. They did not grow in size nor did they develop natural weapons such as fangs. Instead, they had water surround them like armour. And the Whale King, or the people with the qualifications to be the King, were at a different level. They lived the longest out of the Whales. Furthermore, they were born with a natural instinct to rule the ocean.

"Move."
Archie chuckled at those words as he jumped up into the air. He could see a woman as he flipped in the air. Witira had been the one to tell him to move.
"Wow, our Queen seems to be even angrier than I am." Archie could not stop laughing. However, the Dragon half-blood's expression changed.
"...You bastards......-"

A small wave created a path underneath Witira as she moved. The pillar of water started to gobble up the pillar of fire. The pillar of water was obediently creating a path for this woman.
"Who do you think you are to call me a bastard?" She held her whip horizontally with a stoic expression. The whip instantly struck down at the Dragon half-blood as if it was a thunderbolt or a large spear, ready to cut the Dragon half-blood's blood in half.

'What the-'
The Dragon half-blood quickly started to cast a spell with two hands. That whip. He could feel the pure power of water coming from that whip. Furthermore, the dominating power of a ruler made the Dragon half-blood's neck cold.
'Were berserk Whales always like this?'
The whip cut through where the Dragon half-blood's head had been.

TCF!Witira's eyes gleamed with pride and regal superiority. Seeing her making full use of the sacrifice Cale made was a reward of its own. TCF!Witira was also fully aware that her counterpart would understand and realize that the difference in their skills came from the fact that Cale had selflessly granted Witira the best kind of pure water – Cale Henituse had done all that he possibly could to give her the advantage in this battle against their opponent.

The whip cut through a portion of the dark blue wall of fire with a loud explosion. The wall of fire seemed to be cut into two halves.
"...What kind of strength-"
"She did that to the wall-"
The people watching underneath all gasped in shock. However, Witira just looked up with a calm expression as if nothing had happened. She then started to walk toward the air where the rain made by the mages was present.

The crows supported her as she walked. At the same time, a cape appeared over her shoulders. The cape was made from the Dominating Water. She was connected to the water. As long as it remained that way, nothing else mattered. Her two whips cut through the sky once more.
