Chapter 355: Lightning vs Water
In the air, slowmo, he witnessed Princess Otohime’s face twist in rage.
"So many gods have blessed you, but it won’t save you! I’ll take your eye, and with its power, I’ll escape this island and its cursed fog!"
The goddess was unexpectedly fast and she unleashed a barrage of water attacks. Jets of water shot towards Kazi, sharp as blades, and columns of water erupted from the floor, attempting to ensnare him. Each spell was no real spell; merely divine power manifesting into killing intent. Yet, to her growing frustration, Kazi ran through the whips and bullets of water unscathed, his body shielded by Varuna’s blessing.
Kazi realized that without the boon, he would have had to either rely on his agility and Foresight to evade her relentless attacks or counter with his own water spells. The latter would have spelled defeat. The princess’ divine right to water would have overwhelmed his spells without exception. But with the boon, funnelling everything he had into close-quarter combat, he had a direct path to her.
The ensnaring, the jets of water, nothing worked. His foot had already sprung off the tiny platform, the momentum carrying him.
"Super Spark Strike—"
"Waterfall Barrier!"
A massive waterfall came in between them. Kazi failed to penetrate it with Stormedge. He bounced back and found himself negating the water again like indestructible rock.
Fury twisted Otohime’s features. Kazi could feel her magical energy swell. She was about to unleash her most powerful attack yet. "King of the Dragons, your daughter beseeches you!" From a raised arm, she summoned a massive sphere of water, compacted with such pressure that it glowed with an intense blue light. Kazi activated his Foresight. The sphere turned into a spear.
Princess Otohime personally gripped and hurled the spear at Kazi, the artificial water weapon moving with such speed and force that...
He saw nothing.
