27 Chapter 27
(POV Of a fish catching squid / lobsters / ... ugly things of the dark)
Watch carefully as the water engulfed and devoured in the cold depths all these filthy creatures. The purification would take time, but this world would be saved by our hands and we would free it from corruption. I will make sure of it.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
* CRAAAAACK CLAAAACK CLAAAACK CLAAACK CRAAACK * CRAAACK CLAAAACK CLAAACK CRAAACK
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*.
*TZZZZZZ FWWOOOOOOOOSH BZZZZZZZ TZZZZZZZZZZZZ*
I watched as Ragnaros and Al'Akir worked together, I also saw Therazane unleash the full power of the land. We could all feel Therazane and Al'Akir's anger. But it is strange to see her so upset, this dark being had managed to get the better of Therazane....
* CRAAAAACK CLAAAACK CLAAAACK CLAAACK CRAAACK * CRAAACK CLAAAACK CLAAACK CRAAACK
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*.
He was not holding back at all, he could feel how little by little the earth was shaking more and more, and how the mountains he was raising began to release large amounts of crystal....
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*.
*TZZZZZZ FWWOOOOOOOOSH BZZZZZZZ TZZZZZZZZZZZZ*
*SIGH*
None of them are really holding back... It's time for me to support Therazane. But first.
* CHWWWOOOOOOUSH
I helped the "Earth Forge" a little. I understood that the darkness was fighting against his being and the water was giving its all to help him. As Ragnaros and Al'Akir had helped, I made sure to give a little of my help. My help to overcome this dark moment is essential for survival and I hope that Therazane is also willing to help....
* CRAAAAACK CLAAAACK CLAAAACK CLAAACK CRAAACK * CRAAACK CLAAAACK CLAAACK CRAAACK
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*.
*SIGH*
...
It didn't take long for my help in the fight against this dark being to end up giving us a wave in our favor.
He had managed to freeze the grotesque tentacle of that creature. He had used a trick that the "Earth Forge" had once mentioned. The idea was to use the enemy's body against him and take advantage of the moment when he could not fully release his strength to make a paralyzing blow without much effort.
I managed to freeze the tip and part of the lower body of the tentacle in the water when I was lifting it. It didn't take me long to add more and more water and seal that part in ice.
Even so, I could feel his dark presence contaminating more and more the ice that enclosed him, but I could still exercise my absolute control over my element, as it has always been and will be....
*CLACK CLACK*
* CLAAACK CLAAAAAAAAAACK CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK * CLAAACK CLAAAAAAAAAAAAACK
*BOOOOOM BOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOM BOOOOM*.
I should get rid of this thing faster.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*.
It didn't take long, though, before a great explosion of fire tore the tentacle in half and released loads of its black essence.
"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!, FEEL MY WRATH!!!"
Well, he surely knew how to seize the moment. But it's useful, he delivers the blow and I just have to entangle his grotesque tentacles.
*BRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM*.
The earth shook and many other gigantic tentacles appeared. I felt like a dark magic was trying to subdue me. This really bothered me.
"YOU DARE TO TRY TO CONTROL THE OCEAN!!!"
This insolent darkness dared to try to bend the tide, ONLY FOR THIS, THE FURY OF THE WATER WILL DROWN HIM IN ITS ICE-FILLED HUG!
* WOOOOOOOSH WOOOOOOOOOOOSH * WOOOOOOOSH WOOOOOOOOOOOSH * WOOOOOOOSH WOOOOOOOSH * WOOOOOOOSH WOOOOOOOSH
Little by little I created a huge wave that could reach the heavens. I would drown in the same darkness from whence he came, this filthy corrupt being, AND FOR HIS INSOLENCE I WOULD PAY WITH HIS LIFE!.
Soon I saw how large mountains surrounded the being again, and I took the opportunity to send the largest of the waves I had created.
"THE WATER IN THIS WORLD OBEYS ME!!!, YOUR DEATH IS THE PRICE FOR TRYING TO ENSLAVE THE FURY OF THE WATER!!!".
I watched excitedly as the water crashed into him and forced him to collide hard against the mountains. I watched in ecstasy as the blow shattered parts of his body.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, SUFFER, SUFFER MY WRATH HORRID CREATURE!!!!"
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM CLAAAACK CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK*.
The earth was still shaking and soon one of its gigantic tentacles was headed in my direction. But soon a new mountain rose up in my defense.
*CRAAAAAAAACK FRAAAAASHCK*.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
I saw Therazane nod to me and just gave him a "thumbs up", as the "Earthforge" would do ... interesting gesture, if I'm honest. Remembering that he still needed my help, I reminded Therazane that the "Earth Forge" was battling against the dark will of that being.
It wasn't long before Therazane's power beam hit the Earthforge. With our help, little by little I saw how the "Earth Forge" managed to begin to change its situation a little.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*.
He had already helped him as much as he could, now it was up to him. If he wins, or allows the dark depths of the abyss to drown him forever....

(POV Of the long awaited young man who enjoys doing "a bit extreme" body modifications. For more extreme body modifications, keep watching this program...)
(Moments before receiving a strength increase from the Elemental Lords)
I continued to resist the invasion of darkness as best I could. But I could still see how it was slowly giving up territory despite my best efforts.
The amount of mental defenses I possessed were not few, in fact, I had as many as I could imagine, but I could not avoid the invasion that grew along with my defenses. Even so, I resisted.
My will would not allow me to bow down to anyone. I would not allow some random "Hentai God" to come and rape my mind with his tentacles and get away with it freely without me being able to resist and at least rip off a few tentacles in the attempt.
But, although my motivation was there and I was unwilling to give up, their power was steadily increasing. The whispers were now so close that I could almost feel the air they released as they spoke. And that I had no ears... disturbing. It was even more so considering that everything is caused by a tentacle of many others that still keep fighting against my mental barrier, all in order to violate my space and penetrate my defenses... I know it doesn't sound good, but "the way it is".
This guy didn't come with nice intentions, or a bouquet of roses, or even an invitation to a date. He wanted to brutalize me immediately, whether I consented or not....
*GRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAARRRRRR**
* BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*.
Those disturbing thoughts gave me even more strength and little by little I was able to push back the army of darkness and retake some ground. Although this did not last, but I knew it would be a while longer before the elemental lords fight would allow me to really begin to retake ground, as I would have to concentrate on defending their body or enslave my mind. Which was not yielding quickly, nor was it yielding easily.
* BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*.
My gigantic lava balls were falling like meteors into the enemy's innermost lines, but they only gave a respite before more "Aqir" and "N`raqi" of various sizes and shapes occupied the space.
I was sincerely amazed. At one point I thought I saw more "N`raqi" than "Aqir" on the battlefield. The WOW WikiFandom wasn't lying when they said that locked underground were a seemingly unlimited number of "N`raqi" ... If they can produce as many as I see at the moment....
The immediate future is honestly bleak. I am not sure how I will manage to hold out until the arrival of the titans, but I refuse to simply hide. If I manage to survive this battle I will make sure to make the "Old Gods" suffer and avenge this transgression against me with blood and fire! No "Old God" will be spared my wrath.
I will endure what I have to endure and I will see the obsession... the love of my life, the one I chose. Just a few hundred years, just that, just that, just that, just that, just that, just that....
At some point I was confused by my thoughts. I don't understand, I feel a little dumber all of a sudden.
I looked around dazedly to see what was going on and realized that a dark fog was surrounding me. Now I understood why my thoughts sometimes felt like a loop... It turns out they were also trying to control my will even while inside my mind... This is like a matrix inside a matrix....
With a thought, fire engulfed my being and consumed the darkness around me. Now I was back in "me" again. However this worked. The whispers had invaded my "meta mind" and now I was "free" of it... for the moment.
This made me very angry, I had not realized that I was being controlled. Therefore, I was now more alert. My will would not be easily defeated.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
Suddenly another tentacle had broken through... This was not going well at all.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*.
Shit... I'm screwed if this continues. Now 5 of its tentacles, side by side, were inside. My mental shield was still holding up, but I started to see small cracks. This was not what I expected.
At this moment when the darkness was at its peak, suddenly a large explosion briefly illuminated the entire battlefield.
"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!, WHAT'S UP SUBDITE, IS THIS "SQUID" SO STRONG!"
The light that momentarily took away my vision was from the great explosion caused by Ragnaros. A different Ragnaros than the one fighting the "Dark God" outside.
*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*.
*FWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHH TZZZZZZZZZZZZ*.
*WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FWOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
The arrival of the elemental lords was very timely, honestly I was in a bit of danger. I know I could still hold on, but I wouldn't know how long it would be like this...
"Thanks for coming so quickly, dealing with the little nuisances is not very difficult, but this super developed squid is a very different problem. It's tougher than those little bugs that 'grace' the horizon. So I appreciate your presence and help, elemental lords."
"NO PROBLEM, YOU SUBDITO, I WILL WILLINGLY HELP YOU IN THIS WAR! MY FIRE WILL PURIFY THIS DARKNESS THAT THREATENS US!!!"
Well, as different as this Ragnaros is, he is still Ragnaros....
"I WILL HELP YOU WITH THIS DARK SITUATION, SON."
"ONLY TOGETHER WE CAN ACHIEVE SOMETHING, YOU HAVE MY HELP".
"JUST ATTACKING SENSELESSLY WILL NOT WORK, I PROPOSE THAT WE QUICKLY APPROACH THE SOURCE OF THIS CORRUPTION AND COMBINE OUR POWER TO ERADICATE IT FROM THIS PLACE ONCE AND FOR ALL."
Therazane, Neptulon, and Al`Akir, a different one from the ones outside, volunteered their help in this dark situation that could consume us all...
There weren't many words I could say in this desperate situation that was only getting worse, as a totally "Hentai" being wanted to get its tentacles into my mind....
"Thank you."
I said from my heart. Now that they arrived, I can start to really fight this battle and concentrate on defeating the real enemy, not these little excuses of darkness.
I concentrated my power on the flames that coursed through my being and roared. Doing this gave me confidence. My passion for dragons was growing, constantly fueling my aspirations and in a way, some of my deepest dreams were being fulfilled.
*GRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR*.
A great roar came out of me.
"I WILL NOT FALL BEFORE YOUR POWER!"
I accumulated my power slowly.
"I WILL NOT YIELD TO YOUR WILL!!!"
My will burned and grew with every word.
"I WILL NOT BOW DOWN TO YOU!!!!! EVER!!!!"
Not only was I revealing myself against the most powerful enemy I have faced so far, I was facing head-on what could mean my death. But if I must fall, I will fall on my feet. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY DIGNITY TO FALL TO THE DISGRACE OF ETERNALLY SERVING AN UNDESERVING BEING. EITHER I LIVE, OR I DIE.
*GRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I launched myself like a fiery comet against the hordes of dark enemies that stood between me and my goal. I would make the dark god suffer and triumph, banishing corruption from my mind once and for all.
* BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOOOM*.
Ragnaros and the other elemental lords joined my race, fearlessly charging at anything in our way and crushing, incinerating, freezing or tearing apart anyone along the way.
...
When we finally reached the place where the "Old God" was connected to my mind, I watched as thousands of "N'raqi" and millions of "Aqir" were born from these huge, grotesque tentacles. Beneath the skin, many body forms crawled up to tear it apart and come out, releasing their army and a dark liquid that only increased the corruption in the air and earth.
This process was repeated countless times in all the 5 tentacles that had pierced my mental shield.
"GRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR"
Roaring, I charged at one of the tentacles. And although many smaller tentacles suddenly appeared from the larger one, continue.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
I used one of the lava balls that Ragnaros had thrown to get closer and start tearing one of the biggest tentacles. But the blood that touched my fire, contaminated me. As soon as I realized this I quickly retreated.
Now I knew I could not fight head on. What little I had been tainted by his darkness was purified by my flame... ironically, at that moment my mental voice briefly sounded like Ragnaros.
Suddenly a feeling of power coursed through my body, increasing my fire. As I understood from my divided attention, between holding on in my mind and physically dodging. I had received a greater blessing from the Ragnaros who was in the physical world.
Without much time between blessings, I felt another one. This time Al'Akir had cast a much greater blessing upon me.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*.
"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!"
The increase in power sure does wonders, I now felt so much stronger. My chances of victory were increasing, now I was REALLY BURNING!
Author's Note: I apologize, but I wasn't able to accomplish the 3 chapters yesterday, still, don't worry so much... I hope later today to update the 2 chapters I owe.
(2/3) chapters of my Christmas present. Plus 1 chapter a day tomorrow. That's 4 chapters in total...
What do you think about this chapter, I did it partly as I could, but I really can't do it anymore. I had to do miracles to write it, because where I was I didn't have my computer and I had to use the one I had at hand... I can only say that I wasted a lot of time with that other computer and fixing things, but in the end I managed to update another chapter.
See you later and Merry Christmas. ^^
