Chapter 34: Examination I woke up inside the Leviathan's mind, which was a spectrum of colours. As I got up, it materialized in front of me. It was a humongous green coloured serpent with 6 pairs of eyes. Looking at me curiously, it said, "So you are Alexis. Get ready for the test.". Suddenly, the spectrum around me started to change. It became dry, cracky and uneven, like the plateaus of Perion. As I gazed around in awe, the Leviathan knocked me off my feet with its tail. When I tried to get up, it knocked me off my feet again. "This isn't even worth my time." it said, smiling. I got up just in time to jump over its next tail lash. It was almost impossible to beat, my mind thought. "Yes. I am almost impossible to defeat." it said. I gasped, "You can read my mind!?". It smiled and nodded, knocking me off my feet again. "Okay. Playtime's over." it added and coiled its tail around my body. As I struggled to break free, I felt the coils tighten and squish my body, slowly but surely. I drew my sword and hacked at its tail to no avail, its skin was too thick. "I'll grant you my powers if you can somehow make me bleed. I'm willing to go multiple rounds." it said, dropping me to the floor. I was defeated for that round. For the next few rounds, I charged at it with my sword, hacking and slashing to no avail. It merely laughed at me and flung me off. As time passed and more rounds were lost, I was starting to lose hope. Suddenly, I thought of Ivan. "I can't give up yet! Ivan needs me!" I thought and charged the Leviathan with a battle roar. My sword only left a small mark on its tail and it wasn't bleeding. "It has to have a weakness somewhere!" I thought ferverently. "Yes I do have a weakness. My eyes. I doubt you'll even get up there though." it said with a laugh, throwing me off my feet. I got up again and thought, "I just wish I could somehow repay Ivan for how he saved me during my last maplenapping......". I could have sworn I saw the Leviathan's face turn red. It hit me like a brick. I started to smile and I said, "I know how to make you bleed!". It replied, "And how might you do that?". I needed to do this to save Ivan, and I had had to do it numerous times while transforming into the Siren, so it wouldn't matter to me anyway. I started to take off my clothes. The Leviathan's face grew an even brighter shade of red and it asked, "What are you doing?". I had finished taking off my armour and was now taking off my underwear. When I was done, I was standing naked in front of the Leviathan. It's face grew even redder and it coiled me up in its tail again. Suddenly, it got a nosebleed. Crimson red blood came out of his nostrils and completely covered me. I shook the blood off myself as the Leviathan said, "That was cheap. However, a deal is a deal so I'm granting you my powers. PUT THOSE CLOTHES BACK ON BEFORE I TAKE CONTROL OVER YOUR BODY!!!". It put me down and I quickly put my clothes back on, not wanting to stay naked any longer. The scenery returned to the spectrum of colours as the Leviathan disappeared and I woke up on the rocky plateau, a green coloured serpent-shaped mark on my chest. The Siren said, "Nice trick. I could have thought of that myself though. I like going around naked, but showing my body to men is just......". I replied, "I know what you mean." and looked around for my armour. It was in shreds lying beside me, having been broken when I transformed. I was also tired from the fight. As I walked home naked, I tried to avoid being seen by people and slipped in the back door only to bump into Fielda just going to look over the archery range. She looked over me and gasped, for I was covered in bruises where the Leviathan had lashed at me with its tail. She carried me upstairs, taking care not to get seen by the boys and into my room. She dressed me quietly, treated my wounds and laid me on the bed for a rest after looking at my Exzas Mark. When she tried to wipe it off, it wouldn't come off. I fell asleep the moment I flopped onto the bed beside the still lifeless Ivan. I woke up a full day later to the smell of pizza wafting through the air. When I got downstairs, the rest of the party was already seated and waiting for lunch to be served. I took my place and looked at an empty chair, thinking about Ivan. When I went into the library to check on a world map, I suddenly fainted. I woke up later on me and Ivan's bed, an anxious Fielda beside me. "Your body was exhausted real bad. Take a look." she said and pointed at my waist. I gasped. It was as thin as a unused roll of toilet paper. "It doesn't matter, I was on a diet anyway." I said, smiling. She sighed and left the room. Keichii approached me later and said, "To get to Zakum's lair, you need to go to El Nath and go deeper in through the Dead Mine. There are a lot of strong monsters there so be careful if you do go." I thanked him and went into the bathroom. I thought things over a bath and smiled at my idea earlier on, although it might have cost me humiliation beyond belief. I was now able to rescue Ivan. "Hold on Ivan. I'm coming!" I thought as I got out of the bath. Suddenly, I stepped on a bar of soap and fell over. I hit the ground with a thump. Getting up, I massaged the bump on my head and thought, "Somehow, I need to get less clumsy......" Dark Castle...... (DeathLord's FPV) I paced to and fro my room, looking at my scorched and cracked sword. I had tried everything possible to fix it, but it wouldn't work. Reforging it had no effect other than scorch it further. Sticking it into cold water only evaporated the water. Knocking it on the castle wall only cracked it further. That boy really was powerful to use a technique like that. I would have to think twice about fighting him in the future. I suddenly thought of his blood. It might just be powerful enough to reforge my sword! But then, I had no weapon to fight him with as my sword was already broken. As I cursed, Silfa walked into my room. "You should have knocked." I said. She replied, "Who cares? Anyway, Saevio's asking for you. I don't know why, but he looks really pissed." I shivered and marched off to the throne room, where Saevio usually was. When I reached there, I immediatly felt an air of evil hanging around. Saevio's cold voice rang through the air, "Ahh, DeathLord. You deserve a punishment for making Ivan stronger than he already is." and I felt like my body was on fire. I fell to the ground, writhing in pain as Saevio walked towards me, his Fairfrozen on his back. "Your battle caused Ivan's Exzas Beast to be awakened and now he can control it. Make sure that something like this does not happen again. I am assigning William to watch over you. He has orders to kill you should you disobey my orders again." he said coldly as a dark figure stepped out of a nearby door and bowed to him. I got up and walked to my room, holding my arm. When I got back, Silfa was still there, looking at me. "I heard Saevio's voice ringing through the air. He must be really mad to use that voice." she said, sweeping back her long blonde hair. Her bathrobe dropped to the floor yet she made no movement to pull it back up. I tried not to look at her as she walked in front of me. "What's wrong? Oh, my bathrobe. Ahhh, what the heck, I'm tired of having to pull it up all the time." she muttered and threw her bathrobe out the window into the moat. She ran at me and pushed me onto my bed. She closed and locked the door with a little spell and slowly unstrapped my armour. "You're a bit of a hunk." she said dreamily, running her finger over my bare chest. I desperately tried not to look at her naked body. "Remember the girl we tried to mutate the other day? Who do you think is more sexier, me or her? I heard a rumour flying around that the Fidelo Gang measured her chest and it was a metre. I have a chest of 1.1 metres, just so you know." she added. |
