Mission: Catch Pa 2
ck vapors ejected from Pa''s body, rapidly obscuring vision in the anyways dark night. Her body temperature plummeted to reach extreme cold as her arms and legs each began tossing around. "AAAAAARRRHHHHHH...!!"
A painful wail that sent chills down the spines of spectators emerged from the curtain of ck fog. Despite the horrific noises, everyone standing away from Pa''s position was rtively calm.
With Lady Na on their side, the group didn''t have to worry about the destructive powers of the possessed woman. "This madwoman...!!" Da had her hands on her ears, unwilling to listen to the nightmarish cries.
Ryu next to her did no such thing, rather the boy was totally on his toes at this moment. This was the time he was desperately waiting for asmunicated by the Demon. Now they have to wlessly execute their n without getting noticed by Lady Na.
He waited with bated breath while his right hand reached up to grab the verdant locket around his neck. Demon can only help him so much, sessfully capturing Pa was going to depend entirely on him.
Within the fog, Na stared down upon the rising woman on her horseback with acent smile. Even as Pa''s body started to levitate upwards, she did nothing to stop her. "Looks like you want to y some more."
Even as terrifying energies radiated from Pa which could freeze some of the most powerful cultivators in the blink of an eye, no such thing happened with Na. Her mountain-like forged body easily sustained the battering cold.
Pa''s eyes gradually opened up, finding the mighty centaur face-to-face with her. "DIEEE..!!!!" Right after her banshee-like scream, fiendish vines broke the surface of the earth and wrapped around Na. Even before the centaur could react, she was stuck inside a cocoon that began draining her life force.
"You still have note to your senses, witch." Just as Pa tried to step away from her position, she noticed the vines were effectively destroyed. Inside, Na had not even moved a finger. "Otherwise, you would have realized the deep chasm of strength which lies between us."
Na saw Pa''s eyes were vacant albeit with a hint of shock in them. Was she surprised how effortlessly the centaur woman rendered her attack useless? "DIEEE... DIEE....DIE....!!" The ck witch thundered, attacking Na with everything she got.
Her rabid attack went on to prove Na''s point. Pa was still in a possessed state where she could not even think of running away. All her mind was programmed to do was vehemently attack until the very end of her lifeline.
Na nonchntly waved her hands to spoil each of Pa''s fierce attacks. She didn''t n to knock the woman out right away like thest time. Maybe it was better to let her vent out and gain back her sanity.
What Na was unaware of was that this time around, Pa''s actions were catalyzed by a different personality. Ever since Ryu unknowingly used Mahesvara Eyes, Pa''s connection with the demigod entity controlling her for years has weakened by a great deal. Right now, her rampage was a manifestation of Demon''s will.
"I don''t want to hurt you, woman. If you agree to talk, I might even free you from your sufferings." Lady Na threw her a bone, but naturally, Pa was in no condition to evenprehend her words. The possessed woman targeted her with every ounce of her strength.
"I will take that as a no, then." Having reached the limit of her patience, Na realized she must use a different method to make the woman talk. Nheless, at the very moment she changed her mind, Pa''s body turned into a blur.
Na was rmed. She didn''t foresee the woman would change tactics in the middle of their fight. Was she fooling her into believing that she lost her mind? "Not so fast."
Realizing the woman was heading straight for the other group of silent watchers, Na knew Pa had faked her condition. Pushing her body to the limit in a mere sh, Na ended up emerging right ahead of Ryu''s group.
A domain stretched hundreds of meters in all directions from Na''s body. Under this domain, no one was faster than her. In the duration it took the centaur to reach her full potential, Pa has made her intentions clear.
Ance cropped in her hand as she threw it with all her might towards a single individual. Na''s brows jerked. Among the many individuals present here, why would Pa target the weakest among them? It made no sense to her.
"Careful." Lady Na''s legs stomped the ground and jumped upwards blocking the path of the projectile with her invincible body. Her soft words were uttered for the only other person who could hope to face Pa.
Despite the fog curtailing their vision, Linda required no such thing to tell what was transpiring behind the veil. Pa''s sudden turn to head towards them might be surprising to Na, but it made perfect sense to her.
*Crash* Land shook and the air crackled with sparks when Na pped away thence heading for Ryu. Linda meanwhile readied herself just to be extra careful, as Pa recklessly charged despite the strong guarding obstructing her approach.
"You fool..!!" Seeing Pa was madly dashing towards her even after she started herst attack, Na was annoyed. Was she trying to get herself killed?
No matter the case, Na must hold her right here. Any closer than this and Pa might be dangerous for the two teenagers in the group. Time had slowed down and the twodies came closer than ever, ready to crash into each other.
However, what happened next could never be anticipated by Lady Na. While approaching her, the centaur saw something in Pa''s eyes which left her agitated. In the deep ckness of Pa''s eyes, a pair of golden pupils were reflected.
Na has reached the zenith of strength. For an authoritative figure like her, there was no way she could not understand what grave mistake shemitted by staring directly into Pa''s eyes. Too bad, the realization came a tiny bit toote for the mighty centaur.
Her body frozepletely. Though she immediately pulled her gaze away, the infamous golden pupils had taken effect on her. At that moment, only a single phrase echoed in her mind. ''This is bad.''
Even though the golden reflection might have disarrayed her mind, Pa can never hope to hurt her. The inherent strength of her body was still there, so much so, that even when her mind was blocked, her body would have defended itself even involuntarily.
Yet, Na''s biggest worry was not that. Right in front of her eyes, she saw Pa ze past her without bothering to strike the centaur woman. Things just took a turn for the worse.
Pa or whoever was driving her mind, seems to have anticipated all this. The person knew Na could not be hurt and neither could she be held in one ce for long. The golden eyes might have only provided Pa with a negligible time period, but that was enough to aplish her goal.
A frustrated Na watched the silhouette of the woman step past her. Though she warned Linda beforehand, can she really stop Pa in her disabled state? The centaur was unsure.
''Such humiliation...'' If the human brat died in her presence, what face would Na be left with? Not only that, Ryu was the beloved of her niece. How can she ever face Da after this day? ''As if...'' Anger bubbled in her mind and the heavens responded in kind.
Earth cracked under the feet of Linda and her group. The sky was illuminated with a bright light as if it wasn''t night but the middle of the day. In a split, the thick miasma hiding Pa was washed away.
Na had pushed her mind and body to the very limit of her powers. Her surroundings cannot endure the mighty aura and exploded in sparks. Standing stoic in one ce, Na''s body shined with a divine light.
''Fuck.. She is really serious about it.'' Ryu heard a voice in his mind, but there was no time to think over it. He saw a maniacal Pa shooting towards him with a terrifying face.
Linda meanwhile was puzzled why Lady Na would let Pa get past her. Nevertheless, there was no time for her to mull over that now. Now that it hase to this, she must put her life on the line and save the boy.
Even as the brave Wilder woman prepared to block Pa''s way, she noted movement. Lady Na seems to suddenly jolt back to life from her stupor.
Although it was a hard decision to make, Na thrusted her hand forward in a desperate move. A wave of condensed aura left her palm and traveled almost at the speed of light. Right now, Na was prepared to kill.
Though it was a relief to the rest, it was truly a loss for the mighty centaur. After all, Pa had forced her hand and made herunch a killing blow. There was no saving the woman now. Even a grand mage would die if they took this attack from Na head-on.
Sure enough, Pa was struck. But before she could take on the full force of the attack, her body vanished. It was not like she disappeared only in sight, rather her entire existence was wiped out. But instead of contentment, Na panicked. Needless to say, this disappearance was not ording to her foresight. "This is impossible..."
Na only got the chance to utter those words when Pa''s body emerged out of nothing once again. Her face was bloodied from thest attack of the centaur but her hands were still extended outwards.
''Do it NOW....!!'' Ryu need not be reminded. The fact that Pa has re-emerged right in front of him was an anticipated oue. The boy reflexively threw his hand out. As soon as the tip of his finger touched Pa''s, thedy in the ck robe vanished for the second time.
Na remained astounded by the event, but it wasn''t time to rx. The attack she threw in desperation was still heading for Linda after a brief interruption where its earlier target disappeared before it could bepletely destroyed.
With the power of her mind, Linda forced her aura wave to self-destruct. The ears of Linda''s group buzzed as their eyes turned blind for the next few minutes. There was an explosion never seen before.
Na''s body manifested right in front of Linda and protected the group from the destructive shockwaves. It was an attack delivered at the peak of her power. Obviously, it was going to alter thendscape itself.
When the group emerged from the aftermath, they found themselves in the center of a crater hundreds of meters wide. Land copsed under their feet as they remained suspended in the air thanks to Na.
"What... happened?" Linda was the only one who could manage to speak. Yalda and Da were too horrified to even shut their jaws. "I hope no one is hurt?" Na herself was not in the right state of mind to answer that question. First, she must make sure everyone survived the brief scuffle.
Looking back, she took into ount the condition of every person. Though shocked, Linda was doing better than rest. After noticing Yalda and Da were alright as well, Na''s gaze focussed squarely on the green boy.
Was she mistaken or did she truly see the boy extend his hand to meet, Pa''s? Even by Na''s standards, things happened too fast. Except for her, she wasn''t even sure if anyone saw Pa''s body emerge in front of Ryu in thest second.
