Chapter 14 - Final Showdown(3)

In the middle of the night, dark clouds were drifting around the radiant white moon. Ribbons of light from the moon were falling upon the bell tower. The bell tower, whose walls had been damaged by Simon's powers.

Inside the bell tower, there were pits all around the floor, and there was Sammy, facing Simon and three humongous wooden snakes all alone.

Sammy looked at three snakes ahead of him and a small smile appeared on his lips,"This is going to be very thrilling." He said.

Finishing his words, he started moving towards the snakes, gradually increasing his pace. One the three snakes also dashed towards Sammy with it's dreadful mouth wide open.

Sammy, following a path that lead to the snake's mouth and gut, came face to face with the snake. The wood inside the snake's mouth started turning red and just like that he spitted fire on Sammy.

Sammy, clearly able to sense the attack coming his way, put his strength in his legs, jumped from the ground and landed on the snake's head.

He did not stop there. He pointed his index finger and middle finger out and bolts of lightining started dancing around them.

He put his two fingers on snake's back and kept running, leaving a deep, thick line of burnmarks on the snake's wooden skin.

While Sammy was doing all this, another snake approached Sammy from the left. He was getting ready to spit fire, but before he could do that, Sammy threw the lightining at the snake.

Lightining struck the snake at his jaw and left a big burnmark, but it was nothing lethal to the snake.

Sammy jumped from the snake's back and came in front of Simon in midair. He uplifted one of his forelimbs and threw it towards ground with a jerk.

From the sky, piercing the clouds, came a thick pillar of light that fell upon the bell tower's roof and destroyed it. And on it's way to Simon, the pillar also damaged the holdings of the bell.

The pillar was about to hit Simon and the sanke, but before it could happen, air started revolving and formed a huge vortex of air in the pillar's path. The pillar hit the vortex and it's trajectory changed. It was deflected from it's orginal path and thrown at a wall. The wall was completely destroyed.

Did he just change the density of air so the light could show refrection and change it's path. He does deserve to be the leader of a faction. He atleast has a brain.

Sammy now landed in front of Simon and the sanke coiled around him. But before Sammy could do anything, the sanke in front of Sammy opened it's mouth and let out a strong and rapid gust of wind and threw it towards Sammy.

The gust of wind hit Sammy and blew him away. When Sammy was sent flying, tearing through the air, there came a point in time when a sanke was right beside Sammy, inner parts of his mouth turning completely red. He was ready to spit fire at Sammy.

Sammy quickly placed both of his hand in front of his chest, parallel to each other. A ball of water was formed between his hands. He threw the ball towards the snake. Sammy did all this before the snake could attack and while he was still in midair.

The waterball hit the upper part of the snake's mouth and bursted like a bomb. Vapours came out of the snake's mouth and the fire he was ready to throw was nowhere to be seen.

Sammy collided with wall of the tower and fell on the ground. He quickly got up and once again raised one his hands towards the sky and threw it towards the ground.

A pillar of light came tearing the sky. It first hit the bell, this time completely damaging it's holdings and then kept moving towards Simon.

Simon again created a vortex of air and changed the direction of pillar of light.

Why did he use this attack again? He knew, I could defend myself like the last time. Then why did he use it? Was he checking something? Or perhaps I wasn't his target at all. Simon looked up and saw that the bell above him was about to fall. Yeah, that's it. He wasn't attacking me. His real target was the bell. He wants the bell fall. But why? It is very easy for me to dodge this bell. He is planning something else. Wait! I think he wants me focus on this bell. This makes sense. There is no way for him to reach me now. If he tries to come close to me, my snaked will start attacking him. In this scenario, my guard will be down. And when I will be completely off guard, he will use his teleportation technique to attack me.This bell is just a decoy.

Simon left his meditation pose and with a smile on his face, took a few steps away from the bell's path.

The bell now started falling. Sammy quickly threw a bolt of lightning towards Simon. Simon dodged the lightning by jumping back. Soon to hit the ground bell and the lightning were right in front of him. The lightning making the Bell's sutface shine.

He has played his next move. Now that I am in this position, he will use his technique to teleportat behind me and ambush me. Just try it young man, when you appear behind me, my snake will turn you into fried meet.

The bell was now just a few milimeters away from falling on the ground. The lighting was about to pass the bell, but it was still making it's surface shine. And Simon was about to hit the ground. He was happy that he was going to outsmart his enemy and win the battle. He turned his head behind him to welcome Sammy with his awaiting gaze. Just then he heard a voice," Surprise Motherf**ker".

He looked ahead and found something that was not a part of his plan. Sammy came out of the shining bell surface, appearing in front of Simon. Simon....was shocked. He was in a state where he was building a castle of cards. He had placed every card right, but when it was time to place the final card, he placed it wrong and now he was watching the castle cumble right in front of his eyes.

Sammy landed on the ground and threw a punch at Simon. But he stopped just before it was about to hit Simon's forehead. He pointed out his index finger and pushed Simon backwards. Simon who was in shock could not do anything. Before he could process what had happened, hot raging fire came from both sides and turned him into burnt meat. He died.....not in sadness, not in fear, but in shock.

All of this happened within a fraction of seconds.

...

Manstoul city, in a restaurant

Food, table decor and a pocket watch were placed on a small, round dining table. At both sides of the tble, Andrew and Louisa were sitting on chairs.

"Awakening is a process in which a dominantor completely dominates over his powers or simply gets complete control of his powers which results in him achieving the next stage of his corresponding route. In this next stage, a dominantor gets fixed new powers from the domains he had before and some new powers from some new fixed domains." Louisa explained.

"What is the limit of awakening of a dominantor?" Andrew asked.

"No one knows for sure, what we know is that the highest we have seen for now is awakening till seventh stage." Louisa said.

Just as she finished her words, her face became clouded with worry. She looked at the hand watch placed at the table.

"What happened?" Andrew asked.

"I... I can't sense Sammy's spirit force from this watch anymore."

"What does that mean?" Andrew asked, knowing what it actually meant but still wanting his assumptions to be wrong.

"Sammy is dead."
