Chapter 129: 129
All of a sudden both Brix and Aqua expressions changed as a red tree grew out from where Ikem was, standing on top of the tree was Ikem who had his hand open as a red wooden spear with red flames around it grew in his hand which he threw to the sky where Aqua was.
A shock wave was made visible once he threw the spear as it left his figure, next thing the red spear went through the disk Aqua was standing on at the same time the spear took with it one of Aqua’s legs.
Aqua began falling as he lost his footstand, but Ikem wasn’t done as he made a gesture causing the spear he threw to come back as it headed for Aqua falling figure.
Aqua seeing that only smiled as the water flooding the area moved upward like a tornado catching him while taking him back down to the ground, at the same time his feet that was blown off still had red flames blooming in it but Ice grew around the leg burning out the flames as his leg regrew.
"He has gotten too deep into it, besides, I have completed my goal" Aqua thought to himself as he turned abruptly, catching the spear that was about to hit him.
Ice quickly grew from where he was holding the spear, clenching his fist the spear broke into pieces. Turning around to see Ikem standing on the tree and a face that grew from the tree.
Aqua spoke out loud to Ikem who was now conjuring a new weapon in his hand "How does it feel, Ikem?"
Ikem eye refocused as he he looked at Aqua and the new spear he had in his hand, Shaking his head Ikem responded with a smile "Feels good Aqua"
"If before I was scratching the surface of what I could do in the fourth stage, now it feels like I could do more," Ikem responded as he took in his new form and the tree he was standing on, which reminded him of the tree he always sees in his mind when meditating.
The colosseum could barely hold on as Ikem and Aqua reigned in their power, both haven’t gotten serious yet. It was all just for Ikem to attune with the power he has. Ikem’s children were still taken by the whole fight; they could hardly find something to say.
Terra managed to get himself first as he took in the destroyed colosseum, jumping into the colosseum he planted his hand down to the earth to repair the damage done to it but was surprised when he saw Brix raise his hand and almost like time was being turned back, Terra watched as the colosseum repaired itself becoming like it was again.
That was how Ikem got to the final point in the fourth stage, after the small fight Brix and AQua proceed to make their way out from the kingdom as they resumed their journey, the same can be said for Ikem’s children.
Six months after Brix and Aqua came to the kingdom, Ikem got news from the people in the shrine that Osisi was able to, on his own accord, get his roots to the underworld and that he had already informed the two demigods on him wanting to meet them.
This was the beginning of the demigods meeting each other as One week after Ikem got the news from Osisi, a portal opened down at the beginning point of the mountain where his kingdom was.
He quickly recognised the strong presence so he made his way down the mountain and that was when he first met his two Cousin hailing from his father’s sister, the goddess Keles. Ikem at the time made their meeting secret, so no one except for Zephyr knew that his father was meeting with other demigods.
The meeting started off a bit awkward, but once they found a common god where they all felt the same about having being raised by a god, the conversion flowed freely before the serious talk began as Ikem began informing them of his encounter, Ikem noticed the more he talked with them the more it seemed that they themselves were making a connection to something.
Once Roth and Xerosis understood Ikem’s purpose, they agreed on helping him and thus they both made their next stop to the underwater kingdom. With the help of their mother’s realm both Xerosis and Roth were able to quickly make their way to the underwater kingdom.
But something stopped them which was that Roth wasn’t comfortable in the water, he had no reason to breathe as he is half dead but breathing is a habit he has taken up all his life so while he could just hold his breath and move underwater, he found it extremely uncomfortable doing that.
He tried overlooking it and breathing normally, but water kept rushing into his nose so for the visit to the underwater kingdom Xerosis did that on her own as her body is corporal and speaking underwater is of no problem to her.
The visit to the underwater Kingdom went well as Xerosis who was taken back by a kingdom run by women made her way to Flowua kingdom who happily welcomed her, and so Xerosis began informing Flowua on the news they got from Ikem.
The visit to the underwater kingdom proved very helpful as Flowua brought up a method her people and her brother people used to communicate over their long distance which was a spell called "Water has memory"
The spell is all about gathering water from your area and chanting "Water has memory" before exchanging it with someone from a different area, whenever you want to communicate just repeat the chant to the exchanged water "Water has memory" the spell creates something like a video call enabling people on different sides to communicate.
Xreosis and Roth both informed Ikem of this news, who immediately found a pond of water, which he handed over to Xerosis and distributed it to Flowua and Tide.
The process was repeated among the demigods with Roth and Xerosis using their mother realm’s ability to jump back and forth between continues to share and exchange messages. This was all done under a week and now it was the first time for the demigods to see face to face.
Ikem smiled as he remembered how he was nervously pacing around as he wondered how he would be viewed upon by his other cousin, Unlike Rotha and Xerosis. His other siblings like him are leaders and kings of their own people so he felt like he had to present himself in another way.
Now inside his room, laid a new platform that has been built in it. Inside the circular platform was water but not just any water but water from different sides of the continent and from deep under water. Looking at the water Ikem saw it churning Knowing that the call had already begun.
Looking down at himself clad in his royal robe, Ikem cleared his throat before Chanting "Water has memory" Immediately after saying that, the water inside the circular platform floated up before being divided into five floating screens of water.
Right in front of the screen, Ikem saw the faces of his cousin showing up. He immediately recognised Maul, his brother who also took notice of him as Maul flashed him a fang of his, nodding Ikem looked to the mirror to see Tide who seemed very prepared for this all as he had a crown on his head, and wore a serious expression on his face.
Then Ikem looked to the next screen to see the beautiful Flowua who’s beautiful blue hair managed to be quite a sight even being surrounded by blue colored water around her, Flowua caught his look so she flashed him a smile.
Ikem calmly smiled back, he nodded to the screen that both Roth and Xerosis was sharing and then the last screen that hitched his breath, Ursula in her human form with her bright golden hair, Ikem could swear she had a Halo floating beside her head.
He had no idea why but all he could think to himself when he saw her was that "She must be really warm"
Ikem wasn’t the only one paying and taking a look at everyone, the other demigod was doing the same, especially Ursula who took notice of how Ikem was smiling sheepishly at her. She found herself weirdly drawn to his green eyes, so she flashed him a charming smile.
"Wow" was all Ikem could think to himself seeing her smile. This was the first of the many meetings of the demigods as they discussed and figured out the idea troubling them, the two demigods most thankful for the meeting and news was Flowua and Tide as they both had no idea what enemy was trying to break their kingdom from the inside, But now hearing Ikem words and news, they both calmed down knowing that they found their enemy, now all they have to do is just play the waiting game with them.
