Chapter 11

The Battle

Almost instantly, an uproar went through the city. All of the people immediately started searching for Shinya Zhao, as they knew him. After a few minutes, fires roared throughout the city once again as fear swept through the population.

Some tried to escape through the water with boats, but the behemoth sank them and created a wall around the island. The wall blocked most of the sunlight and cast a shadow on the city. "You have ten minutes left. Don't try to escape again or I will crush you all." The behemoth growled.

"These shadows… There are enough that I could trap him in them. I'll need you guys to distract him and push him into the shadows so that I can trap him there. Are you ready?" Shade asked them.

"Okay. I can melt the stone and distract him, chance could blind him, and Thunder could weigh him down with water so he falls into the shadows." the Guide suggested.

"Okay, let's go!" Thunder urged.

The Guide flew up to the behemoth and started shooting flames from all four of his limbs to melt the limbs of the behemoth, but the stone quickly regenerated. As he was doing that, Chance ran up steps made of light that disappeared once he passed. Chance kept running until he reached the height of the behemoth. "Look away!" He yelled at the Guide as he shined like a miniature star and blinded the behemoth.

The behemoth held his arms in front of him to block the attacks and started backing up. Thunder flew up and shot a torrent of water at the chest of the behemoth, drilling a hole into the center of it. This revealed Daimon's body, and Chance ran and pulled him from the shell.

"Do it now! The being's spirit should be trapped in the earth that he controlled. Do it!" Chance yelled.

Thunder spread the water out so it pushed the behemoth into the shadows caused by the walls. Shade immediately trapped him in the shadows, never to be seen again.

They ran back to what was left of the lab and layed Daimon down on a bed and checked his vitals. He was fine, just unconscious. After a few minutes, he woke up, "Did it happen again?" he groaned, "I hurt all over."

"Yes, it happened again." Chance told him.

"Ugh. I'm so sorry." Daimon said.

They all assured him it was fine and told him what had happened. Eventually, Chance made everyone leave so Daimon could rest and recover. As the door closed, his eyes turned red and he smiled.
