Light from Water: Chapter 9

Josh's P.O.V

So, JJ will go after Aftus while I'll go after Neo. I closed my eyes and felt the presence of the survival. Then I sense it, he is somewhere in the clouds.

Meanwhile, while I opened my eyes, JJ already took off to Japan.

I checked my packs, and then I decided to have my meals first. I was hungry, since the battle with Fulmen and Wangzi. I figure that Ursa had followed JJ so I was literally on my own.

I grabbed a burger from my pack, and eat it. Oh, it tastes so sweet. But I needed to save it for later since I have more energy to spend, and that is for boosting the efficiency of my light regenerating powers.

I put the burger inside the food container and stuffed the food container inside my pack. Then I pulled the winged shoes out of my pack and then making my course to the palace in the clouds.

I rose 40 feet, 70 feet. I need to be careful because storm spirits are around there. The storm spirits noticed me and they lunged at me.

It looks like Neo can control his storm spirits. I flew between the hordes of storm spirits. I can feel their electricity firing at me, but I was much more faster.

I dived through the cave that the storm spirits had made, and then in the middle, I closed my eyes and felt the energy from outer space. I imagined they are part of me, and when I opened my eyes, I willed an energy blast that killed all of the storm spirits.

I almost blacked out, but thankfully the sun is still up, so I managed to regain my balance and head up to Neo's palace.

I flew towards what looks like Aeolus' palace, but this one is not exactly like it. It appears it had been slightly modified, with the trees in the inner rim of the gates.

I walked towards the gate.

"Well... well... well..." A voice said.

I turned around, it's Neo, the god of survival himself.

He created an orb and threw it at me. I dodged it. He created a wind chill blast. I used my power to shield the incoming attack.

While shielding from his attack, I closed my eyes again, and felt the energy of the universe. I imagined one quadrillionth of them became a part of me.

Then, I opened my eyes, and the shield is gone. I blasted Neo with my super intense laser beam. He screamed in pain and then he was killed.

Now, to help JJ Reel. Or if he was done, it's time to confront Ion.
