《Shadowlove (Lite)》Chapter 46: Call for a Miracle
Advertisement
"Nooo!" Yasuline cried out. Her eyes widen to see the White Reaper caught in the mouth of the beast. She could see something dripping from him, but couldn't tell if it was his or Apophis' poison.
[The White Reaper's Turn]
The White Reaper tries to move any of his limbs to get him out of the predicament, but nothing would respond the way he wants. Instead, they would wave around in the air with no life in them.
[The White Reaper is Paralyzed. Cannot Move. Turn Skipped.]
[King Suko's Turn. Current Condition: Recovering. Turn Skipped.]
For a brief moment, the king's eyes would open up. He would see the blur of what looked like a giant serpent]in the middle of the throne room, and near him was his own daughter. Looking terrified. He wanted to call out to him, but his drowsiness was getting the best of him and he fell back into slumber.
[Yasuline's Turn.]
Yasuline couldn't stand by and watch the White Reaper suffer like this, she would move her father to the side and runs over to the base of Apophis with her sword.
She would swing at it once on for her to feel a strong force prevent her blade from sticking into him. It was like trying to slice through the wall. She goes for another swing, and again, would barely scrape something off of him. After repeatedly doing this, Apophis would finally take notice of something touching him from below.
[Yasu Uses Slash Attack. No Damage Dealt. Turn Ends.]
"Let him go!" She cried out. Grunting each time she felt the rumble through her arm whenever her blade impacted against his body.
[Fifth Round Over. Sixth Round Starts.]
"PRINCESS. TRYING TO SAVE YOUR BELOVED? HOW THOUGHTFUL OF YOU. BUT YOU'RE TOO WEAK TO DO ANYTHING. HE IS NOW AT MY MERCY. OBSERVE!"
[Apophis' Turn.]
With the tip of his tail, he would pull the White Reaper off of his fang, in an amusing fashion that one would take when picking at their teeth after a meal. Adding further to the taunting, he would give toss his body around in the air in a juggling act. Then, he would wrap the tip around him and swings his tail, letting him go at the near end. With all the momentum, the White Reaper would fly at blinding speeds toward the other end of the room, slamming hard enough to form a dent in the wall that cradles him from falling all the way into the ground.

[Apophis Uses Giga Skill: Toss. Effective.]
Mortified. Yasuline would only stare wide-eyed as she sees the White Reaper take such a hit. Even dropping his weapon as she runs straight at him.
"No. No!" She would repeatedly say to herself. Completely in disbelief on how much the White Reaper was being put through. She reaches into her pockets to pull out anything that could help him, only remembering how she stupidly used it all so has hastily the first time he got hurt.
Just as she was nearly there, Apophis added more torment for the two of them as he curls the end of his tail into a knot and slams it hard against where the White Reaper was nailed against. The wall finally breaking down and crumbling with him.
[Bonus Action. Apophis Uses Tail Slam. Effective.]
Yasuline would lose all sense of herself as she locked her mind purely on the White Reaper. Piles of rubble from the wall fell on him. She skids on her knees, ignoring the burning sensation of her knees and legs and starts to pull away bit by bit of the debris to dig him out. She could hear her pants as she was out of breath, though he couldn't tell if it was because she was tired or that she was having trouble breathing at all. In the background, Apophis would be laughing at his dominance over his opponent.
After pulling off a big piece, she could make out some of his coat. Seeing it as a sigh, she claws away the rest of the debris until she could see his face. She pulls him out from under the rest and holds his head on her lap.
[The White Reaper's Turn. Current Condition: Knocked Out. Turn Ends.]
"Come on, wake up. You can't be dead." She would quietly call out to the White Reaper. Giving him a small shake to wake him, enough to try to wake him up, but less to ensure she wasn't making his condition worse. She would repeat her words again, slowly deteriorating to weepy cries of her telling him to awaken.
LOOKS LIKE THAT IS ALL HE HAD WITHIN HIM. HOW BORING. I WAS HOPING TO HAVE MORE FUN. WELL, I GUESS WE CAN MAKE THIS CLIMAX MORE INTERESTING. SUKO?"

[King Suko's Turn.]
At the mention of his name, Yasuline's father would groan, and hesitantly tries to get up. Looking directly at Yasuline's position, he starts to make his way toward her. But Yasuline barely paid any attention to her surroundings, she was patiently waiting for the White Reaper to open his eyes and assure her that he was okay. but he wouldn't open his eyes.
Her emotions stirred up inside her heart, she could feel her chest burning from the thought of her losing a friend. Someone who helped her achieve her dreams and tolerated her silly demands all their time.
Thinking more on that, as her father continues to get closer to him, without a weapon in hand, he starts to reach for her neck. But whatever she was going through, it made the choking tolerable. Or was it that her father barely had the strength to squeeze?
That was when things took a turn for the worse. Out in the hall, the hordes of the castle workers would make their way through, thanks to the hole that Apophis had made for them. His laugher came back seeing how his spell has still taken effect on everyone and he had many more puppets to take control of and take what he wants.
[Yasuline's Turn.]
That burning sensation of hers began to irritate her. Was it angry that she was feeling? She wasn't sure. It wasn't the same kind of anger she had felt at rare times of her life. Burning was the correct and only word she could describe it. As she keeps one hand on the White Reaper's resting face, she lightly touched her chest. Her chest was throbbing along with the beats of her heart.
It was getting to the point where it was now starting to get more intolerable. The burning sensation would excite her uncomfortably. Putting the White Reaper's head off of her, she would get up onto her feet, feeling the flow of the burning sensation going down to her legs and limbs.
But whatever was going on to her didn't seem to grab the attention of anyone else around her. As the enemies around her start to pile on to her, she closes her eyes and tries to find the exact point of where the feeling was coming from. Once she did that, the feeling than completely enveloped her body and moreso engulfs her.
At that moment, she blacked out.
Her body would be taken into a ball of light that came from nowhere, it would push the enemies that piled on her, giving her, the orb, and the White Reaper room for Apophis to take a glimpse at, so high up in the air.
The orb would rapidly grow and neutralizes everything that touches the light with a type of blast force, as they would fly away from the orb and crash onto the floor. Completely knocked out. The tip of Apophis' snout would be touched and his head jerked back from the pain. But the orb would continue to grow and soon, Apophis' body would be burning with pain. His loud hiss shook the very air.
Even the king wasn't immune from its wrath as he also was launched far from Yasuline and collapses onto the floor.
After the orb of light engulfs the entire castle in its mystifying glow, it would finally disperse into the air. Yasuline would finally be visible in the world and she would fall. An arm would raise from the ground to catch her. Gently putting her onto the floor to rest, the White Reaper would stand up instead. He gently touches her cheek as he feels rejuvenated and looks up at the shrieking serpent.
[Yasuline Uses Miracle Series, Unique Skill: Miracle Explosion. King Suko is Knocked Out. Critical Hit on Apophis. Yasuline is Knocked out. The White Reaper is revived.]
The flames on his coat would burn strongly and the green bolts around his legs would zip around in a spiral up and down.
