Chapter 25

Part 1

In this world when it comes to monsters there is a rule of not trespassing into a king’s territory if you are a king monster, the human term used is threat level Red but to the monster it literally means king.

Because monsters at this level are highly intelligent and do not intrude into places that are not part of their territory.

Another reason being they are a huge threat to mankind thus if they are seen an army is mobilized to take care of them.

King-level monsters can sense each other miles away from each other so the threat is not taken lightly.

This ultimate fly kingfish is the true king of the Overstory, the others called guardians before it was only meant to guard not to rule.

And they were merely called kings their species was not king.

Now that it has come this territory is fortified as it won’t even let the humans invade it no more to harvest what belongs to it.

Below the grass on the water, below the water on the ocean floor, two round eyes made of fly fishes moved around it was like a camera recording something.

They looked up piercing through the dark ocean water and the grass above.

There a small creature was flying.

It was once considered a threat but now not so much different than the fly fish it uses to be armor or limbs to do its bidding an insignificant piece of meat shit when hungry at best.

The eyes of fly fishes were observant of the coming creature.

The length between them from the ocean floor to the sky was more than 10,000 meters and a distance of 5 miles away from each other yet it was clearly seeing the creature coming.

Its current size needed not to be compared with the small creature coming to it as it perceives the other party as small and insignificant.

The difference is big.

At this point, it lost interest in the creature as it was not the king it thought to be.

One of its forelegs to the right flipped kicking up mud and water that shot up to the creature in the sky.

Like when snow rolls down from the mountain becoming bigger and bigger as the snow in the surrounding adds up to it the same was happing for this kicked mud water gathered around it getting bigger.

The mud ball was cleared clean as only water remained traveling upwards yet its size was increasing.

Aside from how big it was getting something that needed to be worried about was the speed it was traveling at.

It started from the average speed of a falling snowball and then changed to that of an arrow and then went to Mac speed…

And that was when things changed for the worse as the ball of water was leaving the ocean.

The water above waved in vibration together with the grass as it went in all directions and then there was no sound when an area of a two-kilometer radius leaped up like there was no gravity.

All the accelerated speed in had built up was gone just floating lightly above and the area where it leaped up from was like a hole in the ocean staying still for 5 seconds before things went back to normal as the waters came together.

And the ball of water slowly went up heading to its target while the previous speed it lost was coming back.

Boom

A supersonic sound as the ball shot up at Mac's speed.

Part 2

The flying king kept on having different thoughts to pass the time before reaching to soon be his opponent.

I can feel the presence of that king it has changed and feels disgusting.

What has changed for it to be like that I wonder?

Whoosh, the ice wings flapped leaving snowflakes behind.

Never mind him I’ll tear him to pieces when I reach him.

His back in the upper part tickled.

My shoulder’s feeling cold though…

Maybe the frost energy is too much.

He thought…

Should I alter the altitude to change the amount of elements I’m receiving from the air?

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

I should since I must be at peak level before facing that guy.

“…”

Wait a second I hear something?

His ear twitched listening to the vibration in the air.

A faint sound came to him from afar and it seemed it would be dangerous if he ignored it.

His wings glided as he was going down.

Ting Ting Ting

The king’s fur stood all around as his whole body sensed danger out of nowhere.

He displayed what some creatures do to fend off predators saying I'm not a prey, aposematic display.

His head lowered closer to his body for a second before he widen his eyes to the realization of fear.

There is nothing around me, how can I be this disgraceful…

Both eyes darted around to see what was making him get on edge.

To the king something he never admits or realizes is his age and how quickly his trying to mature himself.

The monster he’s up against is part of a hive meaning it has the knowledge of many before it and needs not to be mature or acquainted with the power it holds.

But for him there is rashness to everything, underestimating everything and every creature.

Impulsive to attack.

No reason to fight but to satisfy himself.

He’s got no king’s will…

Only his mind to be king.

As he looked around for an enemy he was missing what was giving him the chills.

It was closer to him than he could ever think.

Bang

Before he realized he was hit and was sent deep into the ocean.

The impact he received from the attack was severe.

When the water ball appeared in front of him it was tons of mass knocking him out of the Overstory and deep into the green sea with a broken spine from the neck down to the hindleg area.

The power he was so proud of was the first to break apart as it hit him but thanks to it receiving most of the impact the attack went to his back.

Far in the deep where the attack came from the Ultimate hive stared.

“Too early for you to be a King…” It said before turning around and moving away from the place.

The water ball that it launched turned into rain falling back into the ocean after the king was sent flying.

Part 3

At this time he admitted the truth, his powers may be strong but he can’t wield them to match the full potential of it.

Was I wrong to refuse it, but then I've been using it since I awakened anew?

Yet that cold giant hand wants me to grab it and take more.

Yes!

Take the cold you are its master.

A huge shadow spoke to him only one arm was visible but it was cold blue and hazy to be seen fully.

You are a Monarch of it demand more… Said the shadow.

Claim your destiny.

Then what?

And freeze this world as your throne.

Will I be invisible then?

Once you take all is yours.

As Kerrakion fell deep he was losing breath yet the water around him turned cold becoming his oxygen.

But the water was the least to worry about as something in him was acting up.

His heart shined blue as a half gem that looked like a snowflake appeared next to it wanting to bond with him, inside his mind it looked different but both of them were one and the same.

It whispered to answer his desire so it take up his heart.

As the half snowflake got close to him the hand was becoming like a beast wanting to devour his mind and heart, all that needed for him to be taken was I… but then before he fell something happened opening his eyes wide.

A black flame burned hot waking him up from the cold side.

This flame burned inside his heart blackening it.

‘My child Kerrakion…’

Mom?

Is that you?

‘I’m sure you will never hear this rambling of mine but my life will be gone in shorts time.’

A lioness appeared in his mind looking at him with big round eyes in which his reflection was.

In one eye he was ugly having a ferocious look, icey and white fur.

‘I wanna say so much but time allows only little…’

Opening her mouth again to speak the time where he was in her womb came to him.

‘Say will my thoughts be with you in my death, I doubt it but you males are as ignorant as you come.

No judgment for anything while claiming to be reasonably calm-headed.

Oh my, will I be disappointed with what you will become?

But please heed my words power comes with a great consequence…

What you bear will overpower you.

I want you to be what I’m dreaming of, but your happiness is more important to me... so...

Live the life I never had.

Venture and ply with your cubs in laughter.

Do not surrounder into the powers you will have time is your ally take it and develop well…

Remember chances that come asking to give you more power are lies… So don’t fall for it.’ With that, she slowly faded away from his mind with teary eyes.

Mom!! Where were you?

I… I missed you.

Missed your voice.

Like the tears he shed when he was a cub his eyes watered.

No… I mustn’t these waters shall never make me go down.

He refused to let it come out but since he was in the water it was uncertain whether it did come out or not.

The frosty look he had was melting as his body continued going deep.

His eyes closed as his body went through changes the mane that turned blue reverted back to cloudy dark moved like flames in the water and the crown on his forehead which made him a king returned back to black flames.

The coldness in him and around him slowly faded away bringing the force of the sea onto him.

Oh, no this day could not get any worse.

And this frost power I fancied wasn’t me I guess I really am no Monarch over it…

Kerrakion thought to himself as his body hit the sea floor staying down immobilized and since he had no way to swim upwards or move his body he was done for.

And with the return of his black flame crown on his forehead back, now he is ready for the roads ahead to become a true king.
