Chapter 226 Fighting The Sobekhemoth Godly Beast
Legend had it that the beast was created by the Egyptian god, Sobek, who imbued the creature with his own immense power. Sobek was the god of fertility, water, and renewal, and was often depicted as a crocodile-headed man.
He was revered by the ancient Egyptians for his power over the Nile, which provided the life-giving waters that sustained their civilization.
Sobekhemoth was a manifestation of Sobek's wrath, a fearsome beast that could wreak havoc upon any who dared to challenge the god's authority.
According to the myth, the Sobekhemoth would only awaken from its slumber when the Nile was threatened and would emerge from the depth to defend its patron deity.
The Sobekhemoth turned and looked at the humans that looked like ants and growled and took a step forward.
Seeing this, everyone inside the ark huddled together, their eyes fixed on the enormous creature that emerged from the murky water. Terror gripped their hearts as they realized the full extent of the danger they were in.
Can they stop this massive creature?! That was the thought running through their mind. Some backed away slowly, their face etched with fear. Others were frozen in place, unable to move as they stared in disbelief at the massive beast before them.
The sound of rushing wart filled the subway as the Sobekhemoth drew nearer. Just then, four people step forward with golden Circles on their heads. They looked at each other and could see the fear on each other's faces.
The tension in the subway was palpable as the creature and the human faced off. The onlookers held their breath, unsure of what would happen next.
"Cyclone Pierce" Kira jumped forward and her long black hair swayed back and forth in the absence of wind.
A golden streak of light came out of her spear and it formed a wide arc, traveling at blinding speed toward the beast.
Clank!
A deafening sound echoed in the subway and everyone widened their eyes to witness the attack. And behold, the beast didn't move an inch, and the attack only left a little spark on its scale.
What the hell!
Kira had her jaw dropped as she retreated quickly. Her heart skipped a beat as she noticed the Sobekhemoth staring at her.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the Sobekhemoth lunged forward at an extreme speed, defying the law of gravity. Its massive jaws open wide to reveal rows of razor-sharp teeth.
Seeing this, Kira wanted to dodge the extremely fierce attack, but it was too late. The Sobekhemoth's tail swung around with an incredible force, striking her hard in the chest and sending her flying through the air.
The impact was brutal, and Kira let out a bloodcurdling smear as she crashed to the ground, her body wracked in pain. She felt as though her ribs had been shattered as she struggled to catch her breath.
Huh!
All the hair on her body stood straight when she noticed the beast's furious eyes on her and its massive jaw closing on her.
"Seven waves Ice-Fan" Leah screamed from the side as she attacked the beast's leg, wanting to halt its advance.
Boom!
A wave of ice covers the Sobekhemoth and it halts for a moment before the ice on its body begins to crack.
Whoosh!
Bang!
Ah!
Leah was sent flying as the tail attack forced the air out of her lungs. She crashed into the wall, leaving a wide spider crack behind as blood splashed out of her mouth. For a couple of seconds, her head was toiling with the heavy sound of ringing bells.
The people inside the ark were paralyzed with fear, their backs drenched in a cold sweat. They knew they were in grave danger and only a person could fight the unknown beast.
William and Pipe man looked at each other before they looked at the deadly beast that send shivers down their spine.
"Retreat," Kira said as she jumped toward the beast, swinging her spear with all her strength. The heavenly mark on her forehead lit up and her strength rose to another degree
"Die"
Bang!
The Sobekhemoth snarled and its scale glowed purpled, looking at the incoming golden attack with obvious disdain.
Boom!
Unfortunately, the beast underestimates the power of the attack. When the attack landed on its strong defense, the attack halted for a moment before it passed through it with some difficulty.
Ah!
The beast cried in pain as it retreated a couple of steps and blood came out of the deep cut on its body. Every step left a deep crack on the ground, making the subway tremble vehemently.
The beast saw some of its scales had been cut off and it looked at Kira with fury in its eyes
Wail!
It opened its jaw and a powerful sound attack came from its massive mouth.
Ahhhhhhh!
Kira was sent flying as she was caught off guard by the powerful sound attack. The sound attack reverberated through the air, shaking the very foundation of the station.
The sound was deafening, an ear-spitting cacophony that sent shortwaves through their bodies and left their ears ringing.
Leah, William, and Pipe man were wriggling on the ground as the sound attack continued. Since they were closer to the beast, they bear the heavy burnt of the attack.
Even those inside the ark clutched their ears in pain, their eyes wide with fear as they struggled to make sense of what was happening. The sound was like nothing they ever heard before.
As the sound continued to intensify, everyone began to feel disoriented, their balance thrown off by the sheer force of the attack. Those ordinary people among them stumbled and fell, their bodies wracked with pain as they clutched their heads in agony.
Panic set in as they realized they had no way to defend themselves against the sound attack. And if this continued for the next couple of minutes, it was only a matter of time before they were all killed.
Meanwhile, Kira tried to fight the sound attack but it was futile as blood came out from her nose and eyes. Everything turned fuzzy, yet there wasn't an ounce of fear in her eyes. She struggled to look in Leah's direction and saw the wretched state she was in.
'Relax. Don't fight it.' Leah heard Kira's voice inside her head and wondered if she was nuts.
How can she not defend against the attack?
'Do you want me to die?'
'Haha. You're more stupid than I thought.'
'Why would you call me stupid?'
'If you are not stupid. Have you seen Justin yet? Looked at the people even though they were in panic and in pain. They had hope in their eyes.'
Hearing this, Leah struggled to look in the ark's direction and realized what she said was the truth. 'How can they have so much trust in a single person.' She wondered.
Buzz!
Just then, a purple light flashed around the ark and the array formation around the ark rose to another level shielding the ark from the sound attack.
Before the people could realize what was happening. A blinding golden light appeared in front of the beast.
'He has come.'
