CHAPTER 8
The road back to the underground was very long and tiresome the worst part was that they walked around during the night, at this time the red sky would become more and more bloody meaning it gets dark gradually overnight as more and more creatures wake up and start to walk around more dangerous than the other, so yes it was quite troublesome for the crew even though they never complained about it for they were still having the time of their lives living on the edge like there's no tomorrow.
The crew was but a mere mile away from their destination when a huge snake passed by minding it's own business " wait isn't that a basilisk?" Ryu Seo-yi thought to himself, before he could talk out loud Lucra was already attacking his huge snake and obviously it turned around flicking its huge tongue at Lucra. The Basilisk rose up vertically, showing off it's body to instill fear into its enemies but Lucra tossed that fear away, looks like the hype and excitement got to him. The doctor was very scared for he has never seen a huge snake with dry skin and cracks all round, it's colour was dusty like the desert. The basilisk swayed around avoiding the incoming hits from Lucra, he managed to get some hits in but they were not enough to damage the enemy. The huge snake crept down quickly and it sprung forward like a cannonball but this time with fangs. The attack was a frontal assault one meaning it was eas8to dodge.
Non of them dodged the attack, they all went flying backwards and they all slid along the ground. The basilisk sprung again but this time it went up like a jump the, cam hurdling down with it's huge body. Lucra immediately went into a water form were his body transforms into water, this form allowed him to soften the strength of the basilisk's attack. Lucra created a bendy dome like structure which was mesmerizing for both the doctor and Ryu Seo-yi, they were lost in amazement to the point that they forgot to help Lucra. Lucra was now pure water which gave him the advantage as this water technique allows him to move even faster than before, when getting hit he partially solidifies meaning he takes less damage. He created hand like objects by expanding the water he uses, these hands allowed him to punch and pull the basilisk from a distance. The basilisk was lost on what to do, Lucra punched it so many times using the water technique that the basilisk tried to slither away but to no avail. Lucra was everywhere due to increased speed.
The basilisk got angry and faced forward, it moved it's head vigorously before it shot a huge stream of dark, dirty and purple fluid from it's mouth. The doctor no longer felt the fear like before, this allowed him to grab Ryu Seo-yi like someone. The doctor sprinted further back to avoid the incoming strange fluid "Ryu don't let that fluid touch you it's, acidic poison." Ryu agreed and was astonished at how the doctor managed to identify this Purple Liquid in an instant, they were now both watching the fight like spectators on a mission. Lucra was having trouble with the basilisk "these people, they are spectating instead of helping me, ugh!" Lucra got so frustrated that the poison enveloped him in one go. The fluid was on the ground with Lucra nowhere in sight. A strange yet familiar sound occurred as the looked up like he was expecting something to happen, still with a cute, worried and childlike expression.
Lucra the water hero rose up from the liquid he too was looking very dark and murky, he shot a smile.
"You think that's enough to kill me? Am pure water but now am pure poi…."
A huge claw suddenly appeared as both the doctor and Ryu crouched down on the ground, Ryu remembered the first day of the Apocalypse "so it returned? This would be the second time I've seen you."
With one flap of its wing the clouds cleared within a second, the moon was blocked like the clouds had returned and a nice sound screech came out from the huge demonic bird creature which covered the whole vast city. This creature would be known as Jiu Feng named by the doctor few days later but, before that, the Doctor realised that this huge demonic bird had nine heads before only emerging with only one head. He's the only one who saw this phenomenon of heads this reminded of the Chinese mythology, which talked about a huge bird with nine heads, that's how he came up with the name. Right after the creature appeared it instilled fear in every direction even Lucra was petrified without catching a glance of this majestic creature. Claws out and they glimmered like everything shiny in the entire world combined together, these claws grabbed the huge basilisk and it vanished like nothing was there the only thing it left was a huge gust of wind and a huge hurricane, the crew was releifed that the hurricane was far away that it was out of the city. The gust of wind blew all to the underground hq. They all rose up from the ground at the same time"ugh! every thing hurts" they all screamed their lungs out but not the doctor, he was fine the only thing different was his coat, it looked a bit dirty cause of all the tumbling down and being flown to walls yet he still had a smile on him which washed all the pain away. They entered the underground hq and every one was holding their weapons and thy all had expressions of worry "they felt even though they're deep underground..wow, this creature is amazing." Ryu thought to himself as he walked down the stairs with a very strange walk which only people with high confidence would walk, this captured some people's attention ad those people wondered if what had happened out there for him to walk like that.
