Missing Zodiac [Season One]

Chapter Thirty Seven

Aquarius

Patuloy ang pagiwas ng kalaban ni Aquarius na si Kizu, isang blood user, mula sa kaniyang mga boiling water core na walang pinatutunguhan kun'di sa lupa lamang. Ang ibang water core ni Aquarius ay nawawasak pa ni Kizu gamit ang kaniyang mga galamay na tila slimey red tentacles sa kaniyang likod! Nangingiti pa ito sa paulit-ulit na nagaganap sa kanila.

Inis nang tinigil ni Aquarius ang pagtira sa kalaban. "Ni minsan ay hindi ka manlang nagtangkang lumapit sa'kin. Hanggang kailan mo balak umiwas sa mga atake ko?"

"Hahaha! Hindi mo ba alam na blood is thicker than water? Kapag lumapit ako, baka mawasak ka, sayang ang ganda mo, Aquarius."

"Tch.. ano namang ibig mong sabihin?"

"I'm a blood user, Kizu.. I can turn you into my blood everytime I want too, Aquarius.. Ngayon mo lang ako kinikilala? Samantalang interesado ako sa'yo magmula pa no'ng una." Napanguso pang ani nito sa dalaga.

Lalo namang sumama ang tingin ni Aquarius at saka hinanda ang posiyon ng kaniyang mga kamay. Her aura had changed, dewdrops came from the ground are now slowly floating around her, "hindi ako kailanman magkakainteres sa'yo."

"Aww, that's sad, 'cause I want you to get to know me more and vise versa." Dahan-dahan pa siyang lumalakad kay Aquarius habang sinasabi 'yon. "Sorry for not being serious earlier, mukhang hindi mo gusto 'yon. Why don't we get closer so I can know you better." Kizu suddenly disappear in a flash! In a blink if an eye, he's already infront of her and immediately grasp both of her upper arm!

Aquarius arms immediately exploded! But Kizu got surprise when her arms turn into water! As if he just splashed actual water!

Kizu got alerted at some sharp ice suddenly appeared beside him and was about to stab him when he successful dodge it by jumping away from her and destroying that sharp ice using his bloody tentacles.

Aquarius is just calm while staring at her enemy. Her arms are slowly forming back from getting destroyed, in a form of water. When the shape of her arms got fixed, her flawless skin came back.

"Hm.. Isang kakayahang katulad ng kay Leo, hindi na bago para sa'kin."

"Man.. So you can regenerate? Like a beast, huh?"

"Tch... Huwag mo akong ikumpara sa mga mababang nilalang." Aquarius immediately made her next move buy turning the sharp ice that she just summoned, into water and turned into dewdrops that immediately became larger and sharper! Those sharp dewdrops immediately made its fast attack in a flash!

Of course, Kizu immediately dodge some of it and destroyed some with his tentacles. Napapaatras pa siya sa kaniyang mabilis at flexible na pag-iwas habang winawasak at winawaksi ang ibang sharp dewdrops.

Nang maubos ito lahat, Kizu's tentacles immediately change form into fat spoon like wings. He strongly flap it that causes the wind to change course! Not just that, Kizu made the wind carries his acidic blood to attack Aquarius!

She immediately purified the acidic blood with her water summoned by both of her hands and controlled it to flow around her. She made it disappeared in an instant and did a counter attack to Kizu by summoning more water from the ground directly below him! She made those water sharper like a blade and attacked him!

But he immediately destroyed it using his another pair of tentacles. He got a bit anxious though and he got some tiny slashes in his wing like-spoon shape-blood wings.

"Wow that was nice," he smirked as his wounds healed in an instant.

"Hm.. Beast," lalong sumama ang timpla ng mukha ni Aquarius sa kaniyang napagtanto. Bagay na napansin ni Kizu na lalo niyang ikinangisi. He was about to make a move when suddenly, Aquarius immediately turns into water and disappeared in thin air! The next thing Kizu knew, a water from the ground below him immediately pop up and formed into a woman.

He's eyes wided in surprised when she saw Aquarius holding a sharp water blade and immediately slashed his face! He dodge it but was still able to get wounded in the middle of his nose.

He wasn't able to make move when Aquarius didn't stop attacking using the water blade she's holding. She was to close to him to be able to attack him numerous times in incredible speed!

But Kizu was able to dodge her every attack, by lowering down, jumping backwards and blocking each attack using his blood tentacles! He was amazed by how fast can Aquarius move and how smooth it goes and how strong it is like the water's pressure. He could feel it from the wind.

He even tried to summon more acidic blood out of his spoon like wings, but from the moment it was about to reach Aquarius skin, it immediately got purified and turned into big drops of water and immediately attacks his wings, while Aquarius is still attacking with her same moves in different orders!

It made holes in Kizu's wings. His eyes wided in shock and its hole didn't heal this time! "Huh?"

Because of turning his eyes away, Aquarius immediately kicks him on the stomach up to his chin! Causing him to get kicked upwards and fall on the ground! "Argchk!" He cough out of pain. His eyes rage in anger as he immediately stood up! From the moment he did, a thick flow of water in mid air attacks him pushing him upwards and hurled him on the ground! It was with tremendous force, cause the whole ground to crack! While Aquarius is just standing not to far from him, raising her hand as if she's just controlling that water.

But Kizu doesn't give up that easy, he tried to destroy that water into pieces using his tentacles and immediately stood up! From that moment, he summoned sharp long tentacles from his back, attacking Aquarius in tremendous speed!

It was too late for Aquarius to dodge it as his tentacles sliced half of her body and her neck.

Cancer..

Cancer is currently just standing there infront of her enemy like a soft princess. She's not even moving, just stay still in front of Zeria.

"Zeria.. ikinagagalak kong ika'y makilala, nais mo ba munang pagisipan ang nais kong ialok sa iyo?"

Zeria, the name of her enemy, is carrying a huge sword. She's petite so you can't even believe how she could carry such huge sword with one hand.

"Not interested," seryoso nitong tugon at hinarap ang patalim ng kaniyang sandata kay Cancer. Hindi manlang nagbago ang ekspresyon ng dalaga o natinag man sa sandata ni Zeria. Isang hagikgik pa ang pinarinig ni Cancer, ramdam at kita-kita mo ang malumanay nitong aura. Napakunot ng noo ni Zeria sa dinadala nitong enerhiya. Hindi manlang siya makaramdam ng sense of desire to kill mula kay Cancer. Bagay na nakakabagabag sa kaniya. Habang inaalala ang sinabi nito kanina 'ikaw ay mamamatay rin.'

"Sayang naman, nais ko pa namang maging kakampi ka. Malaki pa naman ang iyong potensyal, hindi mo ba talaga nais na ako'y pakinggan?" She smirked while saying those words in a gentle tone. 

"We're not even fighting yet, but you're already acknowledging my power?"

Muli, isang hagikgik pa ang narinig mula kay Cancer. Mas lalong nagiging kaakit-akit ang malumanay niyang mga mata. Pinagmasdan niya rin ang mga mata ni Zeria dahilan upang makita niya ang nilalaman ng isipan nito. Isang tila kulay pulang mga worm parasites ang nagsisilangoy sa loob ng isipan ni Zeria, bagay na lalo ikinangiti ni Cancer.

"Bakit nga kaya, Sagittarius? Bakit nga ba... Basta-basta nalang nila tayong hinarap na para bang hindi tayo nakakataas sa kanila?" Aniya habang diretso pa ring nakatingin kay Zeria. Humigpit pa lalo ang hawak nito sa kaniyang sandata hanggang sa hawakan na niya ito ng parehong kamay.

"There's no one here," bulong lamang ni Zeria sa sarili at lalong kumunot ang noo.
