Chapter 489: Not so Helpless After All
[In the name of the Water Goddess, was it? How about in my own name I tell you to all go fuck yourselves!]
They are all shocked at my sudden outburst. Please! How do they think I feel about all this crap! Ah, but then I see all their gazes congregating on the glowing blue symbol on my forehead, right. They are shocked at the pledge failing, at how much they screwed up. I can even hear my "disciple" in the background going "this is a nightmare" over and over.
Welp, time to fucking run! I'm not going to wait for them to regain their bearings. I dash away but then suddenly a water wall appears in front of me. Goddamn Water Monarch! Ouch! A faceplant later, I'm back at running but then I hear the sound of projectiles.
I roll and ...still get hit. The Water Queen has been sending enough water bullets to cover the whole area. I ever so slowly get up, even while one volley after another is making its way to me. I simply protect the face with one hand and the balls with the other. Then, I walk away at the speed of a snail. Slowly but surely.
At this point, the Fairy and my "disciple" both join in on the fun. My entire vision is utterly filled with high-velocity water splashing unto me. But it's fine!
I stomp hard on the palace floor, propelling myself away. Then, I keep doing it until the result becomes different. I can now feel my foot sinking into the lake. It seems they have realized that they could simply take my footing away to render me helpless. Oh god. This is gonna be so annoying.
Soon enough, half my body is submerged in the water. I can't easily apply any force, I'm stuck. In the distance I see a pink tornado making its way out. At least, that's what she looks like with all the pink tentacles and bullets protecting her. All of it is rotating around her at high speed as she moves.
At this rate, she'll soon exit the city. I may haven't done much, but the Head-mages did waste quite a fair bit of their energy on me. Actually, even now they are trying to screw me over by attacking relentlessly. But honestly, with divine energy, all this is pretty pointless of them.
I'm not sure what they are all thinking to be honest. Probably something along with the liner of 'Kill it with water!'. I honestly feel like they are wasting their energy on me. Soon she'll. oh crap!
Just as they are about to leave, I realize an issue. Now, that she is not technically part of the sect she cannot open the water barrier anymore. Right now, she seems to be struggling to try to forcefully open a hole in it.
Hopefully, she'll succeed soon. I just need to have faith. But just as I'm still thinking positively, I hear something concerning.
"When you did the water prison on that naked asshole you also used the spell that I recently showed you, right?" (Queen)
"Ah! I almost forgot but yes! Hahaha this is going to be so much fun!" ("Disciple")
I don't like the sound of that! At all. While laughing she seems to be using magic. That's when in the distance happens an explosion. No! Fucking hell! These bastards!
The human body is mostly made of water. Now, what do you think happens when all the water inside someone suddenly explodes? He'll come back, right! There is no state higher in nakedness than to show everyone all the bits of your organs, right!?
I'm sure that's what he would have said. But now he's gone. Surviving this is impossible. I still observe the gory mess on the ground. There is no movement at all. There will not be any miracle. He's gone. Just like that. Just because some assholes wanted to fight while I wanted peace.
"How is it to see your friend in pieces? Quite artistic, wouldn't you say?" ("Disciple")
Artistic. Fucking artistic. How about I bash her head in just so she can have a direct taste of art? I'm sure she'd enjoy that very much. I really feel like an artist right now. I really feel like causing many 'happy' accidents right about now. At least four to start with.
The only consolation is that my pink-haired friend has survived. She's still attacking the barrier relentlessly. She's channeling all her rage into her magic. She's also somehow keeping the normal sect members at bay while she's doing that.
"I'll handle him. You guys go on ahead and deal with her." (Monarch)
Hell no! I visualize my feet having great footing on the water. I want the divine energy itself to push me upward. It's barely working, but it is! I get out of the water and I resolutely advance toward the Monarch.
She sends chains toward me, restraining me. Chains that she is holding directly. She's even triumphantly thinking that this will stop me. I simply growl at her, appearing as menacing as possible.
[Nice chains, but who's stuck to who.]
That is when I free my hands before pulling with all my strength on the water construct. She starts flying toward me for a second. I'm perfectly ready to receive her with a punch in the face! Sadly, she manages to stop her flight shortly with a well-placed water wall. Well, one good thing comes out of it.
"Never mind! Come back and help me! He's way more troublesome than we initially thought! How is the pledge not affecting him at all?! This is crazy!" (Monarch)
I feel like it's the first time she is losing her cool. Serves her well. For now, I need to wait, simply wait until all allies are gone. Right now I am in a passive position because I don't want to hurt her. But soon I won't have this fear, soon I will be able to go crazy with my counterattack.
Soon I will teach them all that no one messes with The Unnamed God Sect. No one!
