Quickly Twisting I blocked a tentacle going for ka'zeck as he retreated back towards his people

Tightening my hand into a fist I tried to end the fight quickly crushing it a last it was for nothing, red runes covered it's bulbous head an nullified my attack

Letting out a furious screech like nails on a chalkboard it let loose attacking me with all it's tentacles

Lightning quickly flowed into me letting me to block or deflect most of the attacks,still the force of the blows knocked me off balance, gathering up blood it once again it shot out another beam at me this time

Seeing the blood gathering I started trying to teleport finding myself unable to " come on I can still manipulate gravity but not teleport how does that make sense "

I made a mental note to understand my star element better as I watched the hole on the side of it's head enlarge ready to fire another beam

From a streak of lightning ajalentem appeared slamming his shield into the monsters side with a loud bang knocking it to the side a little enough for the beam to miss me by a hair

Rising behind me shadow melded onto my using himself to create two long blades under my arms

" Let's end this quickly " crouching I shot towards the nearest tentacle severing it with my sword,the power behind the attack was enough to even slip the blood swamp for a moment

Another tentacle came at me from my blind spot,extending one of the blades cut it apart before it could hit me

Screening it started grabbing bodies, rubble what ever it could get a hold of an threw them at me and ajalentem " Cheap bastard!" Letting go of my sword I got ready to catch as many bodies as I could not wanting to damage them more then they already are

While I did my best catching bodies shadow made sure nothing else hit me,unfortunately he wasn't able to stop them all and a piece of a wooden home hit just as I put down a body

I went skidding across the surface of the water before being swallowed by it,the familiar taste of iron entered my mouth if it was mine or from the water I wasn't sure

' bastard,! I'll tear you apart!' I roared in the back of my mind i didn't understand why I was so angry by the monsters actions

My body glowed as it transformed next thing I knew i was the sane height as the giant octopus

Their was a pause in the fight as I quickly tried to get use to my new size and the monster over the shock of a new threat suddenly appearing

I struggled to control my body not because it was difficult to move or anything like the, it was because something primal was unleashed

Roaring I charged the monster with a single minded devotion to reduce it to a pile of meat

Along the tree line outside of the battle were the water level wasn't as bad,oda watched the fighting closely

in one of her hands she held onto a small coin but unlike another certain coin this one had a snowflake engraved on one side,being so caught up in the fight oda barely noticed a figure rise up out of the water close to her

" what are you doing." oda nearly fell over from ka'zeck sudden appearance " I'm keeping a promis~e, what are you doing?"

" keeping idiots like you from getting themselves killed now move back before your hit by a stray attack." Coming closer ka'zeck went to force her away from the battle when he felt the air vibrate suddenly pushing oda

This attack didn't come from the clashing of to monsters but away from it, water water rose into the air as two figures landed in the swamp skin of stone with red pulsing just beneath the surface following the the different patterns they both had

"Get the male I'll handle the female." oda was fumbling through the water looking for the looking for the coin she accidentally dropped after ka'zeck pushed her out of the way

" it's about time you showed you're self's not having anything to fight was driving me crazy give me everything you got." Ka'zeck attacked with his tail blade forcing the one going for oda to dodge giving her more time

Still it wasn't enough, ignoring him the assailant was on oda in no time putting something to her face as she fought back scratching at him while reaching for her knife on her

Grabbing her weapon she went to stab her attacker when her body went completely limp having blacked out

" cowards I'll kill you an swim in your blood." A dart flew at him aiming to peirce his skin but Ka'zeck blocked it with his shield,turning he wasn't quick enough to block the dart that came from behind after the other one appeared from the ground like hell opened up for them to move through

He staggered forward barely able to fight the drug injected into him " now that we have them we can finally deal with that bashtol." Roaring ka'zeck thrust his weapon into his leg to give himself a shot of Adrenaline

Spinning he slashed at the closest assailant leaving a mark across his chest she a bit of the red beneath, grabbing his tail they flip ka'zeck over their head slamming him into the ground making him lose consciousness

" stop don't kill him they aren't why we came we have one target just keep him for more leverage." Grumbling the one who knocked out ka'zeck put their weapon away picking him up instead

The one who seemed to be the leader went over to oda picking her up carrying her back into the swamp as the terrible fight between the dragon and the octopus started coming to a end

***

Roaring I bit into the bulbous head of the octopus tearing a piece of it off as blood flowed from the wound like a river

Swinging a couple of it's tentacles that looked a lot like blood blades now aimed to slash me apart

Rearing up I barely dodged the attack having it leave two small wounds on my body

Ignoring the wounds I stood on my back legs as a bolt of lightning that looked like it fall from the sky manifested in my clawed grip

Stabbing the bolt of lightning into the monsters wound their was a moment of silence as it glowed then exploded sending chunks of meat everywhere

I stood still for a moment as steam came from my mouth with every heavy breath I took,eventually my body glowed an I returned to a human form standing naked in the middle of a flood of blood reaching my knees

Taking a deep breath I suddenly bent over throwing up a chunk of meat almost to big for my throat hearing the sound of bloodmoving I turned an saw the elder's daughter swim towards me

" have you seen ka'zeck is he ok?" I took a second to gather myself and put on the plant based loincloth she handed me " no last time I saw him he was heading back to the group to keep them away from the fight

Turning around to investigate the spot I last saw ka'zeck I stopped in my track when two figures with a pair of horns on their head and a black tail ending in a arrow head appeared from the tree line holding oda an ka'zeck hostage

" your coming with us " I tried teleporting but the blood from monster was still effecting me making me cough up some blood

" don't try anything or she dies first. " the one furthest back put a blade to oda's neck drawing blood as shadow and ajalentem appeared behind them some distance away

" fine just don't hurt them." I was to exhausted and covered in wounds to put another fight immediately ' I always hated third-partys ' I held my hand up in a sigh of surrender

" let her go." The one holding ka'zeck moved closer " your in no position to make demands you will pay for what you did. When he got close enough he snapped a bracelet onto me that tried to take my elements away but failed still I put on a show of getting a little weaker hoping to find a time to strike

Pushing ka'zeck towards the elder's daughter he went to grab me but his hand was slapped away " let her go and leave don't force my hand you know this goes against our rules he his the demon lord by right."

A tall stoned skinned figure with lava veins underneath said in a deep voice standing in front of me between me and the kidnappers

A moment of silence past before anyone moved , transforming the demon who kicked ka'zeck away pulled a weapon to fast for me to follow in my weakened state but his weapon never reached me because the next second ge was slammed face first into the blood water displacing it

Forgetting his hostage the other demon went on the offensive only to have his companion thrown at him,skidding to a stop he caught him almost being knocked over from the force

He looked at his friend who didn't seem to well off now, then tell newcomer " damn you old man many will never forgive you for siding with that abomination." With those words he disappeared in a burst of flame an smoke leaving a scorch mark and sad silence behind

" Sighing The demon in front of me transformed in to a slightly smaller human like appearance with two horns and an arrow tipped tail

He looked like a old butler grey hair, well tailored suit completing the whole look with a handle bar mustache
