RISE OF THE QUADBRID

CHAPTER 4: POWER OF A LEVIATHAN

“I knew I was sensing some seriously powerful energy approaching us,” Drongo said, looking at her in awe.

“I only came for my nephew phantom so don't make this s**t harder than it is now.” Vanessa ordered.

Sheltaz didn't bother to negotiate and struck her spiked tail at Vanessa. With her hands encased in flames, she caught the tail and threw her into the shelves. She crashed into five shelves before she made a stop.

“I gotta take this outta here. Azron wouldn't care if Sheltaz died as long as I had the boy.” Drongo thought.

“Not so fast phantom” Drongo could hear the voice in his mind.

Vanessa sent balls of fire and water to Drongo. Drongo immediately put Clint in front of him and she stopped the elemental attack.

“Try me leviathan and I will end his life” Drongo threatened.

“You won't phantom. I've been in your mind. Azron would kill you if you killed him.” Vanessa countered, smiling awkwardly. Sheltaz was beginning to flinch a little meaning she had to be quick.

“Just give me my nephew and I would get going. Me stopping your mission would be a better explanation than you killing the boy” she added.

“Nice tricks leviathan but am way past that” Drongo replied.

“Well I wasn't asking” Vanessa said and quickly shot out a flame blade that cut Drongo's chains. Drongo looked at her in surprise and accepting defeat, he disappeared into thin air.

“Are you all right honey” she asked worriedly.

“Yeah but he isn't” Clint replied pointing at Zachros with the black veins already at his abdomen. She sped towards him and knelt beside him. She placed her hand on the wound and transferred some of her essence into his body.

“This should fight the poison for now” she said and stood up.

“Aunt Nessa, the demon is up now” Clint warned.

“You can't save him leviathan just like you won't be able to save him.” Sheltaz muttered cleaning the blood oozing from her mouth. She created a spear and threw towards Vanessa. She dodged quite easily and Sheltaz kept throwing more and running towards her. Vanessa kept dodging, some she hit away with her flaming hands. The two heavyweights met in the centre an started exchanging hits. What was impressive about Sheltaz was that she was keeping up with a leviathan. An evolved one at that.

Sheltaz found an opening and struck out her spiked tail laced with flames. The attack got Vanessa but she was fast enough to get an arm up. That didn't stop the attack from pushing her quite far from the fight. The shockwave cracked the walls of the library. Human walls were not prepared to endure such battles. It was unprecedented.

Vanessa sped towards Sheltaz at a speed she could not match sendoling out a flurry of punches which sent Sheltaz flying into the wall. She then made her scales on her arm visible and the scales started leaving her arm, creating two short blades made of leviathan scale. She walked towards Sheltaz and pinned her shoulders to the wall using the scale blades.

“So this is the power of a leviathan” Sheltaz scoffed.

“But can you protect your nephew against the army of demons and phantom ghosts coming for him all under the other of Lord Azron and Emperor Grizlon.” She mocked weakly, black blood dribbling from her mouth and shoulders.

“What about the spectre ghosts? I thought they would be working with the demons” Vanessa asked.

“Guess you've been stuck with these pesky humans for so long you don't even know what's going on in the supernatural realm.” Sheltaz chuckled weakly.

“Your nephew's father, Vlad the demectre- the first demon-spectre hybrid left the demons, came to the human realm, fell in love with an abomination and birthed an abomination” she stopped and looked at Clint. Vanessa didn't find the statement funny and thrust two more scale blades into the demon's knees. Sheltaz screamed in pain and took out the power surge of the school. Clint walked close to Vanessa but wasn't scared at all by what was happening. All he had deciphered from everything that had happened was that he was the guy that everyone wanted.

“You keep going like this and am gonna be dead before you know anything” Sheltaz said groaning in pain. Vanessa didn't reply but just signalled for her to continue.

“Vlad protected the spectres from the demons and phantoms and used most of his power to create another realm for the spectres, one which remains untraceable till now”

Thank you so much for your information, its time to die,” she placed her hands on her head about to rip it off. She immediately felt two strong shadow chains gran unto her arm.

“s**t, shadow demons”

Sheltaz chuckled loudly at the sight.

She engulfed her arms in flames and disintegrated the shadows.

“I should have known. You were just buying time for more problems.” Vanessa said angrily. The shadow attacks kept coming and she raised a wall of fire to defend herself from the attacks. The shadow was the only element that could penetrate dragon skin. Nobody knew why but the universe always created a loophole for everything. To completely shield her Zachros and Clint from the attacks, she created a scalarmental- a kind of shield comprising of a wall of fire, a wall of reinforced ice and dragon scales. The shield was both defensive and offensive as it imploded tiny dragon scales and elemental balls at the shadow demons.

Vultron, the commander of the shadow demons raised a shadow wraith to absorb the whole attacks.

Vanessa turned towards Sheltaz who was still pinned to the wall also under the scalarmental.

“You sold us out” Vanessa muttered in clenched teeth.

“Am a demon sweetie, you don't expect me to give you roses do you” Sheltaz mocked.

“Wrong answer” Vanessa replied and ripped her skull along with her spine from her body. Black blood spilled every where in the shield.

“Okay Clint help Zachros up and hold my left hand.”

“Okay aunt Nessa”

Clint did as he was told and held his aunt. Vanessa created the hydro portal and they all left the barrier.

Instantly, Vultra released all the absorbed attacks from the shield and sent it back shattering the barrier and engulfing the area in flames. When the smoke from the area cleared, Vultra could see the black blood splattered every where and the body of Sheltaz bruised and battered without a head and a spine.

“Commander Vultra, I can't sense their energies again, they’re gone” one if the shadow demons reported.

“They killed one of our own” Vultra said in an angry monotone voice, dark and sober.

“I sense a new war brewing”

“And we'll lose if we don't do anything about it” Drongo who had disappeared came to light in the body of another human.
