ZHANE KNIGHTWALKER
The blood spider is looking at me intensely; eyes full of desire to kill, like it wanted to either eat me whole or tear me to pieces. It's the nth time that I'll be fighting this spider, this spider began to show it's ugly face 2 weeks ago, 2 weeks ago, this blood realm my clone is calling is my domain, this domain itself is the kingdom of chi of the dragon realm.
Nagtagumpay akong maligtas ito 3yrs ago when I successfully collected the essence of the dead earth dragon people to serve as the spirits when joined together, creates a powerful barrier. Pero hindi ko magagawa 'yun without a yin barrier, a yang or spirit barrier won't work without a soul barrier or yin to complete the spell.
The City of Queza is the perfect yin, simula noong bata pa ako. I always felt the power lingering on the city, unlike sa ibang royalties, my memories was intact, hindi nawala, kaya naalala ko lahat at naalala ko na ang City of Queza ay ang mirror image ng Earth Kingdom sa mortal realm at nakalibing sa City of Queza ang katawan ng mismong Dragon Gem ko. A perfect soul to empower the spirit.
I've tried to connect the soul and spirit through the chant of mystica, hindi ko alam na nasa Queza rin pala si Yuki dahilan kung bakit mas nakatulong sa ginawa ko, in the same time, naalala niya na kung sino siya, hindi niya ako nakilala dahil suot ko ang cloak ng Thyr to disguise myself from my original 3yrs old appearance as a human back then.
Simula noon, nakuha ko na ang earth realm mula kay Kiriko and cast a powerful barrier through yin and yang to both Queza and the Earth Realm pero n'ung dumating ang thief, he devour the power of the spirits at nagkakaroon ng butas sa barrier, to the point na naging impure nanaman ang Earth Realm at naging ganito at nakapasok ang thief ng tuluyan sa Queza. Pero ito rin ang naging dahilan para magkita-kita kami ng ibang royalties, unfortunately, they chased the wrong thief, imbes ang thief ang hinabol nila, ako ang hinabol nila at nahulog sila sa patibong ng thief at ng clone ko.
Now, I must do whatever it takes to fatally wound the impure blood spider habang hindi pa tapos mag-transform si Red-otonii. Tiningnan ko sa mata ang blood spider then to the captives in her web. I smirked. "Do you think, taking hostages will save your life? What a drama queen you are, sadly, you're pathetic!" I tauntingly said to the blood spider causing it to hiss and roar to me.
Sumugod ito sa kinaroroonan ko but naka-iwas naman ako, I concentrated earth magic to my hand at pinataas ang lupa kung saan ang blood spider dahilan kung bakit lumipad ng malayo ang kalaban.
Tinaas ko ang aura ko at nagkaroon ng brown na hamog sa kamay ko, next, nagkaroon ng 7 strings with yoyo with spikes made of earth around it. Before the blood spider can even react, a rain of falling yoyos hit her. A ping sound was heard as my yoyo makes contact with the spider's hard shell.
I know na hindi pa rito natatapos ang lahat, nabiyak ang lupa at ang mga kamay ng blood spider ay humaba at sinimulan akong atakihin, umilag ako and then attacking her with my yoyos, It's useless if I will try to cut it, dumadami ng dumadami ang kamay niya kapag pinuputol 'yon, that's a lesson I've learned from fighting this spider in 2 weeks.
"That won't work, kilala na kita, spidey," I continued to hit her with my yoyos, this time hitting her with 4 yoyos and the other 3 served as thread to bind her.
Kung hindi ko p'wedeng putulin ay hindi naman bawal na i-crush ang armor na bumabalot sa katawan niya, it will be hard for her to control other functions in her body kung pati vital organs niya ay ma-yuyupi.
"I love spiders, too bad, you're bad."
Tiningnan niya ako sa mata at biglang ngumiti ang blood spider, bago ko pa man nalaman kung bakit siya ngumingiti, naramdaman ko na ang pagbulwak ng dugo mula sa bibig ko at ang sakit mula sa tiyan ko. Tsaka ko lang nakita ang isa sa mga kamay ng blood spider na naka-saksak sa tiyan ko, and she had an extra hand hidden inside her shell.
Naramdaman ko ang pag-init ng katawan ko at ang pag-lala ng sakit, it's spreading throughout my body. Dumoble na ang paningin ko, sa bawat sakit, parang pakiramdam ko ay sasabog ang katawan ko at magkakalat ang dugo.
And a blood spider is poisonous.
Tiningnan ko ang blood spider na ngayon ay takam na takam na tinitingnan ako, my blood hungered her. I bit my lip as I try to break free, hindi ko maigalaw ang yoyo ko dahil pati lakas ko ay nawawala na sa akin at mahigpit na hinahawakan ng blood spider ang mga strings nito.
I can take the poison, immune ako sa kahit anong poison but I don't think I can take the sharpness of the claws of the blood spider kapag hindi ako nag-ingat.
"Alam mo kung bakit p'wede kang talunin? You're to full to yourself," narinig kong sambit ng blood spider habang hinihila niya ako papalapit sa kanya.
Nakakapag-salita pala 'to? I laughed in amusement. "I don't need a nag from an ugly spider," I rolled my eyes and smirked.
Tiningnan ko kung saan naroon sina Shinri-nii at ang nakahandusay na si Ria-nii, Si Red-nii na nasa fire shell and I smiled.
"Are you ready to be my food?" sabi ng blood spider habang mas lalo niyang idiniin ang pagkaka-saksak niya sa tiyan ko.
I laughed. "No..." I licked my lips. "Do you know that I don't excel much in earth magic even if I'm the earth royalty?" tanong ko sa kanya at mahigpit na hinawakan ang talim na nakasaksak sa akin.
Blanko lang akong tiningnan ng blood spider at tiningnan ko rin siya.
"God of thunder, hear my plea,
Give me an endless energy to strike my enemy,
Electra Minos!"I chanted and then moments later, my body started to spark as I gripped the sharp claws of the blood spider tighter, nabuhay muli ang mga yoyo ko, this time sparks dancing on it like fireworks.
Nabasag ang nakasaksak sa akin pati ang extra na kamay ng blood spider, nakalutang ako ngayon sa ere dahil sa kuryente sa katawan ko and then I smirked and looked to the shock face of the spider.
"I forgot to mention, I suck on earth magic and I'm a electric-earth hybrid," sabi ko and shock her with the electric shock of my yoyo, I've heard her scream as her shell and body started to toast and burn because of the electricity.
Using the electricity on my body, tumakbo ako ng mabilis papunta sa web ng blood dragon and electrocuted the web, good enough to free the other royalties.
Hindi man ako kasing lakas ni Red-nii, electricity makes fire and a weakened fire essence I stole from Red can resonate with my electricity to create a small copy of Red's magic.
Using the last of my strength, I gave up the healing essence I stole from Ria-nii and healed the other royalties.
I can steal things like how the thief does, but unlike him, my steal won't cause harm to the being I stole powers from.
Steal is one of my archive as a earth royalty and electric hybrid. And 60% of that archive power was stolen by the thief from me and now stored to create the body of a blood spider.
"This is what I've planned to do if this things might happened, wake up, big sister and big brothers," I said weakly and grinned as I looked at the blood spider na ngayon ay nakatali gamit ang yoyo ko while she is still being electrocuted.
This is what I've planned to do in case this scenario happened, alam kong plano ito ng clone ko at ni Kiriko to let me fight the blood spider while the web is sipping Shinri and the others powers. And I can't let then do that.
I coughed blood as I tried to maintain the yoyos even if my strength is also fading. My power is not enough to entirely weaken or even kill the blood spider, only Red-nii can kill the blood spider with his hell fire and there's another reason why he is the one who can end the blood spider.
I can't succumb up until Shinri and the others won't wake up and hold the fort while Red is still in his shell.
But because of the 60% archive that was stolen from me, I can't distribute back what I've stolen without a payment unlike before...
My life essence is the payment to distribute back what I've stolen and that essence will be added to repair the barrier I've made.
The chant of mystica is a forbidden spell, and being a hybrid is a curse, being a thief is a sin.
And I'm paying it all right now.
