The Godslingers 3: Chapter 7

Josh's P.O.V

I was told to scout at the east with William, and so we are scouting.

I kept my distance from the earth, so I wouldn't be walking into a living trap.

I looked around. There isn't much to see other than buildings wrapped in roots of a tree. In fact, some of the buildings are completely submerged under the water.

As usual, the city is flooded with water. That's Gaea's way to mark the city that she has conquered.

I flew down again, and this time I saw something moving. It seems to be coming from the building on the left.

I flew slower and slower to see what it is. I take a peek and it turns out to be a Laistrygonian Giants in disguise, to attract our attention.

We all have our orders, kill any monsters we see, and if there's an army of monsters we retreat back to New York.

I drew my arrow, and I aimed at the giant and released the arrow. I channeled this arrow to explode while it is lodged on his skin. Just what I expected, the arrow lodged into his skin and exploded. The Laistrygonian giant had turned to dust.

Meanwhile, William is checking on the building on the right. He didn't read any signs of monster, so that is a good thing,

As I flew lower, I saw something under the earth moving. It seems to be a root of a tree of some kind. It seemed to form into a half circle with a hollow middle. Fortunately, this is a sense of deja vu. I had felt that I already experienced this kind of situation. I flew up, and just then, the half circle root flew towards me and caught me. The other half circle connected the roots like a ball. Then, water began to form inside the ball. I could feel that I was being dragged underwater with the root ball. The water filled up the whole root ball and I held my breath. I pounded the ball with my tiny hands but my strength didn't help.
