Khan was partially surrounded by the biggest creature he had ever seen. Massive waves of scales flowed around him, coiled on each other to create a thick, powerful sea. A gargantuan neck also towered above him, ending in an imnse reptilian mouth that could swallow hundreds of him in one bite.
However, Khan felt no fear. Actually, he was bold enough to insult the Great Old One. That ancient being seed to wield divine powers, but Khan had spotted a curious truth.
The snake hissed, almost growling, without giving a proper answer. It was a simple threat, which Khan took as a confirmation of what he had spotted earlier. The Great Old One indeed wielded unfathomable abilities but was also incomplete.
"You can't fuse might and mana yet," Khan taunted. "Can you?"
For all intents and purposes, the ancient snake should have been far stronger than it was. Sure, the ability to perceive everything in the nearby quadrants was incredible, but Khan was talking about actual battle prowess, and the Great Old One seed to fall short in that regard. Short for Khan, at least.
Still, the conclusion was rather undeniable. The green beam didn't use anything of the snake's might, and the previous push didn't rely on mana. It almost seed the Great Old One made an effort to split the two, and Khan couldn't find better explanations.
"Incompleteness is natural," The snake hissed again, speaking human words this ti, "But we have transcended it. We will transcend it."
The Great Old One opened its imnse mouth, and blinding green light shone from the bottom of its throat. Yet, its massive fangs also started to tremble, and bright drops of what seed blue blood began to flow over them, accumulating on their dull tips.
At once, Khan knew that the next attack would be different. His instincts scread in fear, but the wild urges in his brain were louder. Truth be told, it didn't matter whether the snake was incomplete or not. Khan would kill it all the sa.
A thunderous noise resounded among the waves of scales, and more followed. Khan unleashed his mana freely, invading that foreign symphony with destructive purple-red sparks. A bright, crackling cloud surrounded him, and its energy condensed to give birth to relatively straight objects.
A series of lightning bolts rose while the cloud shrunk. An array of thunderous spears ford around Khan, and he only had to stretch his hand for one to end up in his grasp.
anwhile, Khan's eyes remained on the imnse open mouth, facing its threat fearlessly. Sothing massive was about to fall on him, and he would et it head-on.
A green beam escaped the snake's mouth, fusing with the blue blood on the dull fangs. A transformation happened when the two t. Their mixture added a more profound, powerful vibe to the attack, but Khan only shouted at its arrival.
An alien clicking cry ca from Khan's mouth as he threw the lightning bolt upward. The others followed suit, eventually clashing with the descending beam. Explosions imdiately unfolded, and the world seed to break.
The beam flew through the hole among the barrage of scales, descending onto the sea and piercing it. Its not-waters opened, sending tall waves crashing in every direction.
anwhile, catastrophic detonations unfolded above the barrage of scales, piercing past the beam and sending destructive sparks everywhere. The air shattered at their re presence, and the world seed on the verge of coming undone, but the clash was far from over.
A fiendish figure rose through the sky while the beam and explosions unfolded. A fuming mass of burned clothes and clotted blood vessels pierced the green light and slamd on the snake's nose, unleashing a destructive kick.
The snake's scales rose and split, unable to stop the condensed entropy completely. Still, the wounds weren't too deep, and no blood erged. The Great Old One was nothing but resilient, so Khan didn't stop at that.
Khan had kicked, but both his hands were already shining with red light. A humming noise also made its way through the thunderstorm below, accompanied by a bottomless bloodlust.
The condensed entropy was still raging over the snake's nose when Khan lunged his arms forward, stabbing them into the broken scales. The piercing effects of the Divine Reaper made his limbs dig as deep as his elbow, but far more happened inside the Great Old One.
Red slashes shot inside the ancient's snake flesh, ravaging it and spreading as much destruction as possible. The creature's tough fabric soon beca too much for the attacks, which exhausted their fuel. However, sharp mana kept lingering inside the Great Old One's head, splitting more of it apart.
The Great Old One hissed in anger, but Khan completely ignored the cry. He had already moved, shooting upward to summon another lightning bolt. His crazed expression only cared about destroying that gargantuan opponent, but sothing managed to distract him.
Khan was ready to launch his spear when he noticed sothing from the corner of his eyes. The snake had never stayed entirely still. Its coiled body kept moving, floating through the sky like a mass of scaled waves.
Yet, the clash of blinding attacks had partially hidden the imnse body until Khan spotted its rising end. The Great Old One's tail was piercing through the beam, aiming at him and ready to crush him.
Khan didn't need to make ntal calculations to plan his next move, but the world in his eyes suddenly froze. An event of incalculable magnitude unfolded in the span of a second, preventing any reaction. The tail suddenly stopped rising, but its tip snapped in the air, releasing a piercing, invisible shockwave.
The shockwave's speed wasn't sothing Khan could match. It was already upon him by the ti he noticed the tail's unusual movent, so he summoned the [Blood Shield] while sending the lightning bolt downward.
Then, Khan half-turned, planning to protect his vital organs. He barely completed the gesture before the shockwave landed upon him, and the alien defensive spell broke for the first ti in years.
