"Serve you right, you arrogant brat. Humph!" KóKó Chǎ sneered, looking at the gradually petrifying Bobby.
Meanwhile, Bobby's soul continued sinking into the completely pitch-black dark abyss. He then uttered, "Devil's Ocular Eye Technique, Activate!" A golden light beam dispelled the darkness from his eyes while his eyes scintillated with gold. His eyes scanned around and he noticed a spider-web-like energy wrapping around his body, pulling him toward a greenish-dark sea. He knew he would die for real if his current Soul-body was dipped into that sea.
"Oh, fuck! This's the damn thing pulling me all this time. I can't even move a single muscle." He cussed. "I must use my Internal Origin Qĭ." Then, without further ado, he started operating the Lightning Canon Technique, breathing in a rhythm. Channeling from his real body, he drew out a thick beam of a white lightning bolt and tried to cut the black spider-web-like energy paralyzing his body. As lightning was the bane of any dark energy, including curses, it started cutting it as his body was kept pulled down.
Seeing the boiling surface of the greenish sea getting closer and closer, Bobby frowned and channeled the other two types of energies from his dantian.
Chi-chi-chi! Along with the sizzling sound, two thick lightning bolts: one black and another purple sprung out from his forehead. Then the three bolts of lightning began severing the spider-web energy wrapping around him.
As he was two inches from touching the greenish-black surface of the sea, he suddenly stopped falling once the dark-slash-curse energy that had been wrapping about him was finally released.
"Phew! It was a close call." Bobby puffed out white fumes from his mouth. Flapping the pair of wings, he lifted higher above in the air and started combing his surroundings with his goldenly glinted eyes. "Oh, interesting!" Then he drifted toward the northeastern side, flickering in the darkness.
After flying for six minutes, he stopped in the air and shouted in Ancient Greek, "Wakey-wakey, sunshine! Isn't it disrespectful to doozie here? After all, you are the one bringing me into this brooding realm." A trace of Lightning Internal Qĭ was also added, along with his voice.
So his voice bombarded the green water, causing an enormous wave that swept down to the bottom, showing a large cave.
It was a cave made from brown, pearl-like stones. There was a monster meditating inside it. It was none other than Medusa, the Gorgon.
Water quickly filled up the empty region.
Bobby waited patiently for a minute, but the latter continued what she was doing.
"Huh, fair enough! A proud goddess like yourself didn't put someone like me in your eyes. Fine, since the easy way didn't work, then let's do the hard way." Bobby continued, "Your old chap Minerva* says 'hi' to you."
(*Minerva is the pet name of Goddess Athena. The one who cursed Medusa turning to this Gorgon form)
Just as the name Minerva chimed in the surroundings, with a loud splashing sound, four high waves of water rose high above in the air, revealing the cave on the plain side again.
A figure slithered out from the entrance and spoke while looking down in a high-pitch, shrilling voice: "Oh, I see! You're from the earth. Now tell this goddess; are you that bitch's envoy?" A chilling, killing intent was directed toward him.
"Nah," Bobby added, "the fables are right. You're one of the most beautiful ladies I've ever seen until now."
Hearing that, the sharp killing intent disappeared gradually. "Hmm, at least, you're the first human who is pleasing to my ears. Well, what did she want from me?" She asked.
"I lied to gain your attention," Bobby responded and simultaneously, the killing intent increased once again.
He continued, smiling. "Don't worry, Minerva, the Athena died a long time ago. I just happened to drift in this Tenderloin world of yours in search of a God Crystal."
"How can an immortal like her die like that? You're lying again." Medusa yelped.
"No, I'm not. Not only her, but all the gods, goddesses, and titans also went extinct a few million years ago. They were all devoured by the…" Bobby said.
The snake-like, enchanting Medusa raised her head before he finished his words, hissing from all her snake locks. She finally activated the Stone Gaze ability.
A blinding light emitted from her eyes targeting the human youth floating in the air.
"So, your stone gazing ability has also evolved up to this casting level. Interesting!" Bobby said with a calm tone as compared to what he heard from the old fable story, Medusa had no control over this skill rendering everyone who looked at her to turn into a stone statue. But he witnessed she could now cast the skill as she wished.
Bobby raised his right hand and poked the incoming cursed energy wave, releasing a large amount of Lightning Origin Chĭ. But it failed to block the spell.
Rather, when his finger touched the strange curse energy, his hand turned into grayish stone, and it spread to his arms and the rest of his body.
With a thought, a pair of vertical crimson eyelids appeared on his forehead. "Absorbed!" Bobby uttered and with the expanse of 555 years of his vitality, his God Vertical Eye activated the suction ability. A strong inherent suction force emitted from his palm and devoured all the curse energy into his body.
"Huh!" Even the monster Medusa gasped in surprise. "How did you dispel my Stone Gaze Ability?" She questioned.
Bobby flickered, flapping his wings and appeared beside Medusa. Poking his finger on her forehead, he released the curse energy he just absorbed into her.
Medusa screamed and moved back briskly. She looked at him vigilantly and asked again, "How did you do it?"
Clicking his tongue, Bobby moved toward her closer and closer.
"Don't come any closer?" Medusa shrieked.
"Relax, I'm a gentleman to the core. I'll not harm even a single hair of beauty like you. Perdon, I mean even a single snake." Bobby said with a calm tone.
