It was hard to tell if this was going to create more trouble or help, but I could feel four new distinct presences enter this world. Nushi and Hydie, but also two other things that I couldn't read from this distance, more monsters.
"Well, I hope it's something like a pair of Gnolls," I said, but Mex laughed out loud at me.
"Don't get your hopes up, but at least Nushi should have no problem finding us. The real question is, what is with her power?!" Mex asked after his laugh, and I agreed.
There was something different about her, and I felt a significant increase in her power, but it was not to the Reading System. Whatever change Nushi had gone through, she was now stronger than Doa had been.
I wondered what that would mean for her when she was no longer a Demon, or any of the women really? There was so much to learn, but I had time once we got off the island, and I planned on making sure I was more than ready to enter the continent of Gardania.
"Do you think that we should wait for her? Or should I go get her? I am worried that she might try flying or something, and the birds might get them…." I said but then trailed off for a moment as Nushi started to jump close to me. "What the hell is she doing?"
I focused on the girls, and then suddenly, they started to get closer, but they seemed to be moving in bursts. It was like they were a bolt of lightning bouncing closer, and then I turned with Beeno in my arms.
The air started to feel charged, and then a bolt of lightning came from the undulating rock wall. The lightning ricocheted off the rocks and then out onto the sand, but when it hit, Nushi was there.
"Is that my daughter?" Mex asked as he walked up beside me.
We were both staring at the glowing pink massive Female with thick horns more like Lidy's but more rigid and crackling with lightning. I connected my eyes with her, and her muscled body began to shrink down as she smiled at me.
Suddenly, I noticed a light reflection in the sky above, and then I saw three outlines of winged creatures. They were diving down at Nushi; the lightning flashes must have attracted them.
I activated my Water Force Pact and phased through Beeno, leaving a copy of myself behind as I dashed forward. Clouds were forming around Nushi as she looked up, and she started to crackle as she reached her hands out to the side.
I split myself into three and flung myself into the air at the strangely reflective dragon-like creatures. I retracted the copies and made another to help spin and fling me at the creatures harder.
The creature that I hit was smashed out of the air. It smashed into the top of the rock was where it was sucked into the center.
The body took on the same pattern as the rocks as it struggled to get free, but it was caught. The creature went wild with screams and colors as it was sucked into the center of the undulating wall.
The body was crushed, and blood sprayed out over the rocks. Mex hadn't been joking about that, but it made me wonder how we could even get through.
Instantly, in a flash, Nushi was up in the air with me, cutting my thought short. She used a pair of crackling swords, cutting through the other two.
I turned in the air and whipped my hand to stretch to Nushi, connecting with Hydie.
More creatures were coming now, and I could feel the blood lust coming from them from all around us. We had kicked the hornet's nest, but it was too late to back down now.
I pulled my body to the girls and fused with Hydie, immediately feeling the connection of our minds far more substantial than even Hero had been.
"Kazz? What in this world is this place, and what are these creatures that are attacking us?!" Hydie asked me clearly in my mind as if she was right beside me.
"No time! Let me take control, but hold the shield up! Nushi… Hit things, and I will watch your back!" I called out.
I felt myself become more as Hydie and I fully fuse, gaining some of her emotional senses. I could now target about thirty of the strange draconic creatures.
They looked like four-pointed diamonds from a deck of cards, or kites, and moved very fast. They quickly cut the wind, but now I could see the reflective backs of the creatures and sense them.
Nushi was using her electricity to heat mine and Hydie's bodies. This caused the mini-storm systems to form, and then Nushi threw lightning at them.
The connection created bridges of spidering lightning that she ran across.
I could barely follow any of this, but I could sense it more than see it, but I had to focus on the others. Even as Nushi sliced the Dragon Kites to pieces at a blinding speed, the other would be predicting her next move.
I pulled Wataluga into me and forced control over him, and then we both split ourselves into three. This was hurting my brain, but it was the only way to keep up with the increasing number of Kite Dragons.
Nushi dashed along with the current, and I sent out two whips and Wataluga one, slapping three Kite Dragons down. Our strikes weren't killing them, and even after almost thirty were killed, there were now forty, and the number was increasing faster than we could kill them.
"This isn't working! We need a new plan!" I called out.
[Separate and pull yourself back together, toss Water Boy back to the girls, and let's barbecue some Invisazards! Once it's only you and me in here, we can fuse and make this even the air burn!]
I wanted to argue that I had already picked Kite Dragons, but there was no time. I decided in a split second and told everyone what to do as I started to pull myself back together.
"Hydie, Nushi, get to Mex, and get everyone away from here! I will distract them!" I told everyone and then separated from them.
