Chapter 144: 144
Taking advantage of the distraction caused by the arrow, Felix swooped down from above, his fiery wings beating with powerful strokes. He aimed directly for Ursula, his talons extended and ready to strike. Ursula, sensing the impending attack, unleashed a barrage of flaming projectiles from her fingertips, creating a wall of fire to intercept Felix’s advance.
Felix’s wings turned into hands that released two quick small explosions as he twisted and turned in mid-air, narrowly dodging the fiery onslaught. He continued his descent, determined to close the distance between him and Ursula. As he drew closer, Ursula unleashed a powerful blast of golden flame from her outstretched hands, aiming to incinerate him in a searing inferno.
Felix with a defiant roar, he summoned forth a shield of crimson fire, which enveloped him in a protective barrier. The golden flames clashed against the fiery shield, creating a dazzling display of light and heat as the two elemental forces battled for supremacy.
Seizing the opportunity, the Jaguar unleashed another arrow from her bow, aiming for Ursula’s vulnerable flank. The arrow streaked through the air with unerring accuracy, closing the distance between itself and its target with alarming speed, The phoenix caught the arrow as it swopped down to Jaguar who had no hesitation as he jumped into the purple lake.
Now inside the purple lake, The jaguar was able to conjure a bigger water arrow which it aimed at the sky and released, the phoenix seeing that it didn’t battle head on instead it swerved dodging the arrow.
Aiming at the center of the Island where the heart was, the phoenix released a torrent of flame which headed straight for the small island. The jaguar inside the lake waved its hand causing a huge wave of water to head for the Island to cover it. At the same time the arrow it shot to the sky dispersed, turning into a rain of purple water which condensed turning into ice as it fell back from the sky heading for the Phoenix. 𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
As the torrent of flame surged towards the small island, the Jaguar’s wave of water crashed against it with tremendous force, creating a billowing cloud of steam that obscured the battlefield. The Phoenix screeched out loud as the flame surrounding it increased as the rain of ice that fell on it turned to steam.
The steam blocked the sight of Phoenix and the Jaguar made use of the lake to throw itself to the sky, reaching the phoenix it swiped its claws now condensed with ice at the Phoenix taking with it one of its wings.
The wings dispersed into thin the air but the phoenix is half living construct so it took no damage which caused the eyebrow of the jaguar to twitch as it quickly surrounded himself with a Purple ice shield as the other wing of the phoenix swapped at him while the wings that was off regenerated.
Amidst the chaos, Ursula and Felix found themselves locked in a fierce aerial duel, Ursula was surprised how Felix was able to hang with her but she understood he was talented when she still saw him as one of her grandchild, she made more effort to spend resources for his growth.
Ursula conjured a whirlwind of golden flames around Felix who was in the zone of her realm. Felix, in his demonized harpie form imbued with fiery energy, darted at the whirlwind in an attempt to break through; it was stopped as he was thrown back to the center of the whirlwind.
Quickly thinking fast, Felix began flying in the opposite position of the whirlwind in an attempt to make it harder for Ursula to control since her realm was already opened Ursula control over her power has increased so like there was an invisible heavy weight between her hands, Ursula gestured as the whirlwind shrunk slowly but steadily with Felix at the center.
The Jaguar, who was launched out of the lake by the phoenix, saw what was about to happen to Felix, opened its mouth as it roared out loud, the sound spreading across the polluted forest.
Other huge sounds responded in turn, so with the quacking of the ground a Huge gorilla surrounded with a golden glow flew over the head of the Jaguar as it caught hold of the phoenix and began swinging it around like a stick.
At the same time a green light like laser, was shot up to the sky from the other side of the forest heading quickly for Ursula, The green light caught Ursula attention once it reached the space in her realm, the light was about to hit her when another figure holding a huge golden shield flew in from behind shielding Ursula from the Impact.
Ursula looked at the figure and asked, confused "Bernard?"
Bernard while bearing the brunt from the laser looked by at Ursula who a smile on his face "You were too hasty this time your highness, You forgot the demon in this forest has his own generals who are always close to him"
Saying that Ursula looked back to where the green light was coming from to see a huge snake Wrapped around a mountain where its head was spewing out green light.
Felix who was about to be incinerated from the whirlwind noticed how the shrinkage stopped for a moment, using this opportunity, His wings once again turned into two arm which condensed the red flames at the centre which was immediately shot out as it quickly the whirlwind in half, using this small opportunity Felix flew out from the whirlwind as he fell from the sky.
That last attack took out most of his energy, right as he was about to fall into the lake a golden spear went through his chest, looking up tiredly. He saw Ursula who was holding the spear in her hand.
"You won’t be getting away so easily" She said as the Golden flames grew from his chest when he was Impaled before covering his whole body, with a roar of fear he was quickly burnt out turning into ash.
As soon as Felix escaped the whirlwind, Ursula already knew of it so leaving Bernard behind she immediately headed for him and she also picked up that he was already weakened. Looking at the ashes blown away by the wind, Ursula shook her head before looking back down at the Lake where her weakened phoenix is held at its neck by a huge gorilla.
The phoenix was putting out as much flame as it could but the gorilla surrounded by golden light was able to be unscathed by it as it squeezed harder, The phoenix has been away from Ursula for a long time so it wasn’t a surprising sight seeing it so weak so Ursula pointed her spear at the Gorilla where a golden hot laser shout of from heading for the hand holding the phoenix.
A crystal purple ice shield emerged blocking and deflecting the laser, The jaguar appeared beside the gorilla patting it and said "let go"
The gorilla hesitated for a bit but let go of the phoenix who immediately flew up back to Ursula. Once the phoenix got into the space distance of Ursula realm, it began glowing brighter and hotter as it blew about Ursula’s head floating there looking deeply at the gorilla.
Bernard with his shield flew beside Ursula saying nothing, soon other harpies elders who were late all joined in all suited up as they floated up in the sky increasing the already hot temperature even more.
There was a standstill before the Jaguar spoke up "Demigod, you already got what you came for, it’s time you leave my place"
Ursula heard that frowned as she spoke in a cold voice "Why should i do, I already got one of you, I don’t mind adding another"
The Jaguar began laughing "You seem to forget where you are right now" The jaguar said as the forest air changed like it turned alive causing Ursula to frown.
"I was a bit apprehensive of the action of my fellow demon so I wasn’t playing at my best, don’t let that deceive you your highness. I see you already have a prototype of a realm and know of its power so you should know that this whole forest is my realm" The Jaguar said with a wave of its hand purple mist beginning to appear in the surrounding area that they were in.
Ursula face showed no emotion as she gestured to the elders around her "I have the number advantage and they are all as strong as your former dead kin Felix"
The jaguar looked at Ursula "I know your game demigod but I will play with you"
"I have my own advantage in numbers too" The jaguar said as the purple mist darkened where multiple glowing eyes can be seen steering at Ursula and the elders, at the same time huge footsteps could be heard from the mist.
From the purple mist appeared a huge goat head, further appearance showed its wolf-like body with deep dark hair, From the other side of the mist appeared a huge standing bear with the head of an elephant. Lastly with a roar close to that of a dragon appeared a dragon beast with multiple eyes and tentacles tendrils flowing around it.
