Chapter 180 Away From The Abomination's Grasp
"Gross!" Lank couldn\'t help but blurt out when he could see the raenz in broad daylight.
The raenz stood 196cm in height, pale-skinned that rivaled Lank\'s complexion. He was bald with a distorted shape with several bumps on his head.
Several gray suckers spanning all around his body changed their original position every few seconds. A tiny squishing sound could be heard from them.
Donning a black low rise metal-studded kilt underwear skirt as the only form of clothing, which managed to cover his crotch barely. It gave off a weird feeling to all who took a glance at his outlook.
His gray eyes with dumbbell-shaped pupils glared at them.
Behind him were 6 black tentacles which moved about in a random motion all around him.
Solis felt his stomach churn, the urge to puke was threatening badly. Closing his mouth after the initial shock, he forced back the feeling barely.
On one of the tentacles–the first from the top of the three on the left was Alex, it wrapped around his neck loose enough to allow him to breathe, while the other two wrapped around his body, sturdy enough to hold him in place a few feet above ground level.
"I think you should return to the darkness from which you came." Lank continued, pegging his nose, disgusted by the smell that reeked off the raenz.
Lumina stepped forward, her eyes locked on Alex, her hair flew wildly around her as her eyes glowed, a wicked smile on her lips.
She had hoped for a day to unleash a bit of her suppressed abilities while in the academy.
"Nix, let me take care of this, it should be fun. Let\'s have fun while you watch, it\'s our turn to pull the trigger, don\'t you think?" She looked behind her momentarily.
Currents coursed through her body, and her fingers spread as she got ready to attack at the slightest provocation.
"You don\'t need to protect us or come to our rescue every single time." Gia supported Lumina\'s claim. Her body is covered in a brilliant blue aura.
\'Even if I wanted to protect you all, I\'m as powerless as an average citizen with weapons at the disposal.\' Nix stifled a laugh, cursing the system once more at the thought of what he was facing.
The only happiness he derived was the fact that he had gotten over his initial dread to hold a weapon.
His one thought was on the sword in his inventory, if he gets his system back, he was sure to use that to his advantage better.
He looked to the right in which Obsidian had been flung and wondered how he was doing with that sort of force used on him.
"Octosechs, look over here!" Lank cajoled with his demeaning taunts on how he looked, wiggling his brows.
"It\'s Octac." He hissed in irritation at being mocked.
Lank was taken aback by similarities with what he had said, blinking several times. The name made him cringe.
He had wanted to question if that was his original name given by his parents or a self-assigned name? Name given to him when he was abandoned?
Lumina sneered at Octac, unconcerned with his name.
The main focus was to get the citizen from the abomination\'s grasp. Nothing was ever said about the raenz–she loved to think of the numerous possibilities that could come to this unfortunate person.
For a brief moment, Nix looked at the back of Lumina with awe. This reminded him so much of how Drui had been so protective of him.
Sniffling, he had a sad smile at the memory.
Pulling out his saber, he brought it in front of him, not wanting to sit back, if he could help in this way, he would.
Boom!
A resounding blast erupted, and the wind blew all back.
A gust of dust rose in the air.
Cough!
Cough!
"What the heck was that?" Solis hissed, he had been recharging his ability from the sun and was thrown off balance by that blast of wind.
"Is everyone alright?" Nix questioned, concerned if they weren\'t injured by push.
"Presently alive!" Lank groaned as he pushed himself up to stand.
"All good, thank you!" Gia raised her hand, shaking the dirt off her hair.
"All sunshine I guess!" Solis chuckled, he had landed with the soft cushion from a bush.
"That\'s not the issue now, what happened there?" Lumina narrowed her eyes as the dust was settling.
They all looked in the direction in which Octac had been.
The sound of hitting and splashing could be heard.
"You thought you could throw me off like a rag doll huh?!" Obsidian\'s voice boomed in rage.
The need to see what was happening was overwhelming and they all turned towards Solis.
"What?!" He questioned, self-conscious with the look they gave.
"Shed some light dimwit!" Lumina hissed.
"You have a worse temper than Luna." Solis shook his head, agreeing to the demand nonetheless.
There were sometimes he had wondered if his powers were meant for actual battle and if he was used as a source of light on numerous occasions.
Making a rectangular shape with his thumbs and index finger. Looking through it, his yellow eyes glowed casting a light that was able to penetrate through the dust.
Their eyes widened at the bloody sight before them. A tentacle had been ripped, the one which had held Alex.
To have the means of defending himself, Octac released his grip on Alex and focused more of his attacks with the remaining five tentacles.
"You don\'t attack defenseless humans!" Obsidian yelled, punching Octac in the face, black blood dripped from his knuckles as it was suspended in the air for a few seconds before he brought it back for another punch.
A tentacle had its appendage wrapped around Obsidian\'s neck, slowly choking him, he groaned and made a slash on the tentacle.
"Defenseless?!" Octac yelled back, hissing to the pain, staring in horror as he saw six inches of his tentacle drop to the floor, and dodge another hit to his face.
