Endless Horde: Through the Eyes of a Godking

--

Two ladies appeared before Isabella.

One was wearing a gorgeous black gown that looked like it was made from raven feathers. She had long black hair with slightly green-ish tips; her skin was fair; and her appearance was enchanting. She exuded a confident aura that also contained a venomous danger underneath.

Her mischevious expression makes her look playful, but knowing who this lady is and her being here means that she's not playing around.

The other was a white-haired woman wearing a silver silk gown; she was wearing a leather robe on top of it that flowed like mercury. She's holding a long golden staff that has a pair of golden-plated wings at its head, emanating a calming light and energy.

These two were none other than Chrissy and Erica. They obviously sensed the commotion over here and decided to give Isabella a hand.

"Are you okay?" Erica asked in concern, scanning Isabella from head to toe. There's no physical injury to her body, but nobody could ever be sure in a place like this.

"I'm good," Isabella replied. "But these three are a little too much for me to handle alone. Can you help me? We can't let them go deeper into the continent; who knows how much chaos they'll bring?"

"Of course, dear," Chrissy replied. "That's why we came here after all."

"We'll take on the Deep Sea Demon Serpent. Can you handle the Kraken and the Leviathan on your own?" Erica asked.

"Yes, I can. Thank you." Isabella turned around and focused her attention on her targets.

Erica and Chrissy looked at each other briefly. The latter shrugged and began flying towards the pinned-down serpent; the former followed closely behind but not before waving her staff at Isabella.

In that instant, a flash of colorful lights shot towards Isabella. As it touched her, she felt a warm current coursing through her body. She instantly felt her strength skyrocketing at an alarming rate. A refreshing coolness sobbed her up, and her fatigue was instantly cleared as if it hadn't existed previously.

Erica didn't even say a word to her. She just smiled and flew towards the demon serpent. Isabella didn't say anything either. She just nodded in her direction gratefully before focusing on her targets.

Chrissy and Erica heard the crackling ice behind them and just smiled. They don't need to be worried about her; they knew that she could handle those two with or without them. It's this serpent that just ruined it; otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to make an appearance.

"It's unreal how this thing used to be an ordinary underwater serpent," Chrissy stated as she glanced at the humongous body of the creature. "If it weren't for Cedric's lucky chances, this thing would've been impossible to deal with."

"I know. This just shows how ridiculous demonic corruption is and how it should be completely flushed out of this world. Not even an ounce of it must be left, or else it could spell another potential disaster," Erica replied.

While the Federal Army only had a glimpse of the true horror of the Deep Sea Demon Serpent, Cedric was obviously different. He was completely beyond his understanding of this thing, and he's been able to learn everything he could about it without the other party knowing.

This creature predates the demonic invasion. Like Chrissy said, it was only an ordinary underwater serpent back then; it's one of the weakest sea creatures to ever exist. However, when the demonic corruption stained the seas, it was also one of the first creatures to surrender to it, and surprisingly, it adapted to it the fastest.

No, the Deep Sea Demon Serpent isn't a slave of the Demon Race. It is not registered in their Soul Network, so if it dies, it permanently dies. The space pirates wouldn't care about retrieving its soul and forcibly enslaving the thing. They probably didn't even know it existed.

Since then, it has begun devouring other demonized sea creatures, growing in size and steadily evolving. It didn't concern itself with anything other than eating and evolving until it reached this state, where it became the true king of the seas.

If Cedric had never been scouted by Big Han of the Tower of Prodigies, it would've been near impossible for humans to deal with this thing.

The Deep Sea Demon Serpent has actually forcibly reached the Planetary Warrior level of strength through devouring other sea demons. It's foundations were unstable, of course, since this level of strength should've been impossible to reach in this world, but that doesn't change the fact that it's absurdly strong.

If it had been given more time to develop undisturbed, it could've stabilized its realm and pursued a greater level of strength.

It was truly fortunate that Cedric's luck seems to go way beyond Prime Earth. Or else, it truly would've been over for humanity.

Boom! Crack!

Chrissy and Erica watched in mild surprise as the Deep Sea Demon Serpent managed to free itself from Erica's bindings. She initially pinned it down by sending a stake that pierced its body.

They watched as its injuries healed at a pace visible to the naked eye. It then flew to the skies and snarled at them hatefully, its wrath seemingly summoning a fierce storm above.

"Ugh. It's breath stinks," Chrissy complained softly, covering her nose.

Meanwhile, Erica was solemnly staring at the sky. She could tell that this demon was mobilizing the power of concept laws by instinct. It's mastery over this power was piss poor, but that's to be expected for a creature like this. However, it doesn't change the fact that it could still use the power of laws.

"Eat...eat you!!!"

Chrissy and Erica were stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other in surprise before focusing on the creature again.

"My, it turned out it could talk. Barely." Chrissy snorted in disdain. "It also wants to eat us. How adorable."

"For a creature who only knows how to devour other creatures, this level of intelligence is already impressive," Erica replied. "But that's all there is to it. How about we start killing this thing already? I want to wrap this up early; we still have to return for a dinner date with Cedric, and we can't be late."

"Ooh, yeah. You're right. Let's do it then!"

Erica's eyes flashed with light. The alpha and omega signs appeared in her pupils. Her aura skyrocketed in an instant and neutralized the dark and heavy atmosphere influenced by the demon serpent.

The veins on Chrissy's body became visibly dark, making her look a little frightening. Her hands were then covered by a thin veil of liquid poison that's releasing a faint smoke. The raven feathers on her black gown also seem to come alive.

Erica raised her staff and pointed at the dark clouds above. With a flash of golden light, the dark clouds parted, and in an in an instant, golden chains with tapered edges began raining down on the demon serpent.

Each chain easily pierced through its thick scales and restricted its movements. It hasn't even been long since it regained its ability to fly, yet it was easily restrained again.

The Deep Sea Demon Serpent roared in pain and agony. It could feel its flesh being seared by the surprising heat of the chains. It tried to free itself from its restraints, and the more it struggled, the tighter and hotter the chains got.

Chrissy blurred into motion after seeing this. In an instant, she appeared on the back of the serpent, and she began shooting blobs of poison at its exposed wounds as the creature thrashed around. .net

This poison of hers was specifically concocted to erode the victim from within. It won't torture them with pain because she finds that unnecessary; it will just cause everything inside to decay, and this effect seeps through her target's very existence. Meaning that it's a complete genetic breakdown upon contact.

A true lethal poison that only Cedric and Erica know how to cure. It's a curse and a hex too, making it nearly impossible to cure.

Chrissy returned to Erica's side with a cheerful grin on her face. She then said:

"Alright, now we wait."

"Your poisons are getting nastier and nastier as time goes on." Chrissy rolled her eyes at her behavior.

"It's my talent." Chrissy shrugged in reply.

The Deep Sea Demon Serpent was still thrashing around, trying to free itself from the chains. It didn't feel the poison that's now coursing through its veins.

Erica and Chrissy could see it. The latter's poison was now working its magic. One by one, they saw how the demon serpent's body was turning black, dissipating into a pool of black blood after the poison touched the area.

It wasn't until at least half of its internal organs were gone that the demon serpent reacted to it. At this point, though, it's already too late.

The demon serpent was in disbelief, especially after realizing that its powerful vitality couldn't regenerate what it had lost so far. It began to feel fear, causing it to struggle even more, but it was kept chained down, and the more fearful it became, the faster the poison flowed and destroyed it from within.

Five minutes later, the Deep Sea Demon Serpent was no more. The only evidence of its existence left behind was a clean and pristine set of ivory serpent bones.
