Chapter 243 243 HELPPPP!!!
Stacy's jaw dropped. Her heart raced within her;
'That is one huge fuckin' sword. . .'
It was almost as tall as her. And five times as wide as any regular blade. The hilt was broad- too broad for any single human to wield- and it floated above Nexus' head- hovering silently- sending ripples of his mana vibrations through the air. In a shaky breath, Stacy gulped- causing her eyes blink.
Instantly, she regretted it.
Distracted by her own flailing biology, within that fraction of second, she had missed the glorious leap of the massive sword. Up above, with its pointed tip facing north, and his glowing blade shimmering, it tore through the stratosphere like a low hanging comet.
The blood rush nearly made her faint.
In the western part of the sky, eighty feet up in the air, just before the looming gray-colored monster- the sword swept in a horizontal arc- hurtling straight at the closest tentacle. Stacy's breaths tensed- looking at the battle raging in the heavens.
Out of nowhere, from below, a formation of two tentacles- shot upwards- raging towards the incoming blade.
Under his hat, the corners of Nexus' mouth twisted into a mischievous grin.
Here we go. . .
Instead of surging forward- straight at the intended target, Nexus clenched both his fists- and tugged- bringing both of them down with a sharp jab. Above, the blade responded immediately. It stopped dead in the air- cutting off its velocity with an unnatural stop.
And dropped straight down- mimicking Nexus' movements.
Too fast for the uprising tentacles to keep up, the blade shimmied between both tentacles as they both shot upwards- like twin geysers. The octopus could not stop them in time. So, with his sword located in the thin space between them, Nexus' hands mimicked a twirling motion- rotating round and round with his clenched hands.
In the air, the wicked blade spun and spun around- slicing in circular rotating arcs as it slashed and slashed against the sides of the tentacles- whirring like the blades of a fan.
Metallic clanging sounds echoed in repeated intermissions. Orange sparks bounced off each violent collision- lightning up the sky like fireworks. Stacy round face remained upwards- towards the atmosphere- like a star gazer.
Lips parted, anticipation snatched her breath away, watching with flickering eyes as Nexus fought against the tentacles.
On the ground- Nexus' long sleeves rustled against his busy hands. They jerked up and down- swaying from side to side- tugging, and shredding the air with violent jabs- like an opera conductor.
AWRGGHHHHHHH*#@!!!!!!!
The deafening roar of the humongous octopus tore through the open air. Under its massive beady black eyes, the two long folds on his face (probably its mouth), flapped consistently- sending out wheezes of hisses.
It swayed side to side, lunging its massive body forward- and backwards- trying to entrap the the annoying lightning-fast-sword! But Nexus' busy hands kept it slipping in between its tentacles- slicing and cutting with savage bursts of energy.
Under its humongous weight, the ground rumbled- sending slight tremors rippling through the hill. The waves mini earthquakes broke open boulders- shooting up head-sized rocks- and sending them rolling down the hill.
Like the kill zone on a battlefield, the entire terrain quaked- as clouds of dust raged upwards into the air.
But Nexus remained at the battlefront- coat flapping behind him, hat on head, feet equidistant to each other- like a human sized crow. Both his arms gestured in ziz-zag unpredictable movements- and like an avatar, his blade mimicked his every move.
With the blood rushing in his ears- Nexus felt more connected than ever before.
fuck. . .i could do this shit all day!!
Under the shadow of his broad hat, Nexus' expression kept hardening. His jaws clenched shut- gritting his teeth in excitement, watching as the octopus snarled in irritation at his flippant flying sword.
Towering a hundred feet above, the creature's gigantic outline loomed over the top of the hill- completely dwarfing every single landmark and living creature. At the top- just over its massive bulbous head, swirling clouds of blackness danced in tandem motions.
Rapid urgent sounds of blade against unbreakable skin- echoed throughout the terrain- ringing in metallic clangs. In the kill zone, its curly tentacles soared upwards- snapping and snapping under the crescent moon. It lashed out in slithering jabs- hissing, as it tried to catch the annoying blade.
But Nexus moved fast- scampering his fingers in quick successive motion- chucking the tip of his glinting blade- and slashing in swift violent rotations. The blade retreated- arched all the way up, and hurled back down on the closest tentacle.
Palms sweating, he kept the pressure up- honing in on one single tentacle- hoping if he focused hard enough on just one- he could eventually do some serious damage.
All around, like a nest of vipers, the rest swooped in- thrashing at the sword- trying to keep it away from.
Suddenly, as the silvery scene began to shake up, Nexus' expression soured. Something was wrong. He squinted his eyes, counting the tentacles one by–
Again, Stacy's high pitched voice came shrieking into the night;
"Master!!" she yelled- desperation in her voice.
"A little busy here Stacy," he rasped back- slightly annoyed.
Her voice came again- scratching with urgency- tugging Nexus away from his blood lust;
"MASTER PLEASEEEE!!" A strangling noise gurgled from her throat; "HELPPPP!!!"
At once, his tousled hair flapped in the wind as he pulled his eyes away from the massive monster. Sharply, he jerked his head in the girl's direction, and his heart exploded in his chest. Eyes wide open, his vision doubled- as parallel images of the same moving objects danced before his eyes.
"What in the fuck?!" he stuttered in unbelief; "HOW?!!!"
Stacy- twenty feet up in the air, had a thick snake-like tube wrapped around her right leg.
This time, she was dangling upside down.
This time, she was held captive by the grip of the fattest of the tentacles.
Twitching violently, her eyes darted from left to right! She watched her world literally turn upside down- and shrieked into the night- wailing like a widowed bride!! Her slender body slithered in the air. She squirmed like an earthworm on a fisherman's hook- twisting her body, and shagging her torso- fighting to get away from the firm grip.
Below, on the ground, with his chin upwards, Nexus face went white. Both his knees buckled as a terrifying sense of fear crept up on him. By sheer force of will, he pushed through the fog of confusion, and tried to take a step forward.
He ended up staggering- nearly tripping over a foot sized rock on the ground.
Sweating profusely, he cursed under his breath.
Masterrrrr!
she cried- pouring her pain onto the ground below;
HELPPPP!!!
Typical with her foul mouth, she cursed and cursed- raining unspeakable obscenities at the octopus- letting helpless cries rode on the heels of the howling wind.
