Chapter 40: Nyeupe(1)
As Cades was walking closer and closer to the snake, the water barely being at the height of his knees, dispersed by the entire area having been flattened by the clash of the two gigantic monsters, he could see how the regenerative power of the white snake was steadily diminishing.
The ground around the once powerful monster was covered in tendrils of watered-down blood extending from the bleeding corpse, crushed in multiple places.
Finally, Cades arrived, walked around the monster until he was face-to-face with the once majestic being that had ruled over this region for who-knows-how-long, a being that had destroyed entire empires for revenge.
The once golden eyes, a signifying symbol of the wyrms, were now milky with various small blood-vessels having been ruptured and blood streaming across the once humongous eyeball with that very same eye still somehow focusing on the small ehetrian standing in front of it.
Cades was about to bring his staff down and crush the little bit that remained of the body of the ancient goliath.. but Cades just couldn't bring himself to do it yet.
This monster had been alive for an unimaginable amount of time, it knew countless secrets.
His goal was to find out what happened ang act out his revenge against those that took his everything, and out of all being on this world the wyrm calling itself Nyeupe probably knew the most about what had happened.
Cades had no mind to think about the fact that the wyrm would probably try to manipulate him, and Cades didn't really care.
Though the insurmountable anger might've slightly diminished it was still sieving and burning his sanity as he was just standing there, in front of the once invincible monster, silver staff in hand and held up to crush the pathetic remains of the ancient, arrogant but also wise wyrm.
