Chapter 56 - Chapter 44: The Demon Goddess of the Sea

{It returns To Medusa and the Warlord of Envy staring off}

WoE: [It can't be... So the legends are true...] (A sweat drop falls from his face)

Medusa: What's wrong? You scared of little o' me? (She smiles showing her sharp fangs)

WoE: No matter how many legends there are of you your still not strong enough to beat me!! [I won't let her take this fulfilment I've been chasing for over centuries, I will not... Be weak like I was before!!] (He thinks as he clenches his fist so hard they bleed)

Medusa: Your gonna have to defend that claim champ. (Not a single thought of fear is in her mind)

WoE: Rah!! (He roars summoning all of his elemental strength) [I'll show words aren't threats... There a promise!] (He dashes in with lightning speed throwing left jab)

{Medusa weaves his punch and stares him dead in the face }

Medusa: Your gonna have to try harder than that. (She says as she lands a sharp right cross counter)

WoE: [What the! How did she do that? She's faster than me?] (He starts to hyperventilate overthinking every move)

Medusa: Come on, where did all that confidence go? Aren't you supposed to beat me? (She menacingly says as she bounces in her kick boxing stance)

WoE: Shut up! (He retaliates with a wide right overhead filled with blue flames)

{It connects but Medusa's unfazed}

Medusa: Is that all you got? (As she implants fear in the Warlord as she lands a one-two)

{The Warlord desperately blocked it}

WoE: [How can she... She withstood my best punch and yet she is didn't feel it. No... No...] (his start to shake)

Medusa: [Just like that, I've got him in my trap.] (Her fear tactics were successful)

{Medusa starts throwing feints}

WoE: [A big right is coming.] (He tries to block his face from a straight)

{But in reality it was a left knee that knocks the Warlord's chin up}

WoE: [What? How? I can't take anymore hits!] (He thinks a left high kick is coming) [I have to block this.]

{But Medusa was aiming for a right roundhouse , it sends him reeling back}

Medusa: Come on now why are you defending yourself? (She instills even more fear)

{Medusa's slowly poisoning the Warlord's mind with fear}

WoE: [No... I can't let myself fall any deeper into her mind games. Remember everything... Her element is still weak!] (He remembers that Tokito's water posed no challenge to him)

{The Warlord's eyes collect courage as he stands not running away anymore}

Medusa: So your finally gonna show me your real power? (She smiles full of excitement) [Ever since I've been sealed inside this mortal I've been yearning for a good fight against a opponent that isn't running away.] (From her hair she pulls out two dark green daggers in the shape of fangs)

{The Warlord begins his onslaught of Elemental blasts to force Medusa into a corner}

WoE: I know your weakness! Your too well balanced, a knower of all but master of none! (He says his confidence returning stronger than ever in his voice)

{The rush of elements may be powerful but Medusa's effectively parry blocking all of them with her daggers}

Medusa: [Your thinking of that weak Tokito who couldn't handle it when things get hard. Me...] (as she throws one of her daggers and it slashes the Warlord's cheek) I'm built different. (Still calm and composed)

{The cut on the Warlord's cheek bleeds deeply}

WoE: I'm not gonna back down just because of one cut! (He brushes it off and keep rushing her down)

Medusa: You shouldn't play off my element... (she mysteriously says)

{The Warlord starts to feel dizzy}

WoE: What the? (He wipes the cut but it's turned dark green) What did you do to me woman?!

Medusa: Don't you realize? I'm a snake, so of course I've got poison. And that's just a little taste of how deadly I can be... (she calmly says hissing her tongue)

{The Warlord's vision is getting blurry}

WoE: Damn you... Damn you! (As he starts losing balance as his skin is turning dark green as the poison flows more and more) [I'm blacking out. I can't even clench my fists anymore it's almost like... I'm being petrified.] (As the Warlord's limbs are going numb)

{Medusa slowly walks up on him grabbing him by the face}

Medusa: You put up a good fight, but... (as she holds her daggers about to finish him) Your not good enough to stop me.

{But before she could that bubble Tokito used to hold the souls of the land Envy is popped by the Warlord}

WoE: Souls of my land... If you can kill this woman, I'll give the winner whatever their heart desires even my own ring!! (He calls all the souls to his aid)

{The 100's of souls come rushing towards Medusa}

Medusa: Oh please you call this the big guns? (She talks down to them as she tactfully handles them with her daggers)

{Medusa slashes each of them surrounding her on the throat splashing there blood across her daggers}

Medusa: This is just too easy! (She jumps between each of them overpowering them even though they have numbers)

{Medusa is gliding around them killing them with ease there blood stain the land red}

Medusa: I've had enough of these appetizers. (As she jumps into the air) [Fangs of the Snake: Kiss of Death] (she sprays her poison through all of the souls)

{They all get turned into stone}

WoE: (still trying to recover) [Just like the legends said... She turned her victims into stone with her poison... It's over... All my efforts were for nothing... I'll never be good enough...] (as his eyes turn blurry and shake in fear as Medusa walks up to him)

{Medusa towers over the Warlord}

Medusa: Where were we? Oh yes I was just about to kill you. (She shines a devilish smile as she sinks her fangs into his neck)

{The poison instantly turns the Warlord into stone}

Medusa: Finally done with my full course. (She breaks the ring on the Warlord's hand) My reward.

{She wears it as all that strength the Warlord had flows through her veins a feeling so addictive}

Medusa: That feels so good! I need more! (She licks her lips) [Oh and that little Tokito isn't gonna stop me this time...] (she slithers away into the dark green night)

Unlike Yanji... Tokito didn't return to her normal self... Will we ever see Tokito again?

We'll see in the next chapter!!
