MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage-Chapter 118 The Second Trial

Tap... Splash... Tap... Splash...

Someone was walking towards the arena and the water started vibrating, while the waves were lifted every time the unknown being took a step.

"Get ready!"

Feeling that the enemy was nearby Ava spoke and fire started dancing on her palm.

Whoosh...

Suddenly a huge wave came from the north side of the arena and crashed in the middle of it. From the splashes of the wave a figure of a humanoid creature appeared.

[ ???”???§???????????????? ???????¨???????????￠???????¨???§ ]

Eli and Ava watched with a mixture of fear and awe as the Undead Poseidon made his grand entrance into the arena. The water seemed to vibrate with each step he took, and the waves rose and fell in time with his movements. They could sense the immense power and affinity for water that radiated off of the humanoid creature, and they knew that they were facing a formidable opponent.

As Poseidon approached, Eli noticed that his once mighty trident was now twisted and ruined, a shadow of its former glory. Despite this, he still commanded respect and fear as he held the trident aloft, the eerie light glinting off of its twisted metal.

The two women could see that the creature's Status screen only displayed its name. "Undead Poseidon," and they had no idea of its Level or its Attributes and Skills. They could only assume that it was a monstrous being, given the power they could feel emanating from it.

Roar...

As Poseidon let out a haunting cry that caused the ground to shake and the walls of the arena to tremble, Ava wrapped her arm around Eli to steady her. The orc tried to keep her footing as the empty stands seemed to vibrate with the force of the creature's voice, as if the very air itself was trembling in fear. It was clear that they were facing a formidable opponent, and they knew they would have to be at their best if they hoped to emerge victorious.

They both knew that Poseidon was the God of the sea and expected him to be strong.

Reading the system messages Ava felt the corner of her eye twitch. Why would the game make the fight against an opponent that would even be hard to injure?

Eli and Ava looked at each other with a mixture of determination and nervousness as they prepared to face off against the undead Poseidon. They knew that this would be no easy battle, but they were determined to do everything in their power to emerge victorious.

Ava summoned a ball of fire in her palm, the flames dancing and flickering as she readied herself to attack. Eli, meanwhile, tried to familiarize herself with moving in the water, trying to find her footing and get a feel for how it would affect her movements.

As the undead Poseidon approached, Ava waved her hand and launched a small fireball. She sent an orb of flames towards the creature, hoping to catch it off guard and immediately end the fight.

But the undead Poseidon was too quick for her. With a flick of his wrist, he summoned a wave of water that extinguished the flames and sent Ava tumbling backwards. Eli managed to catch her before she hit the ground, and the two women glared at their opponent with determination in their eyes.

Roar...

The undead Poseidon let out another haunting cry, causing the ground to shake and the walls of the arena to tremble. He swung his ruined trident towards Eli and Ava, the twisted metal glinting in the eerie light.

Eli and Ava knew that they had to think fast if they wanted to stand a chance against their powerful opponent. Ava summoned another ball of fire and sent it towards the undead Poseidon, while Eli called upon her orcish strength and charged at the creature with her scythe drawn.

The battle raged on, the water of the arena churning as the three opponents clashed. Eli and Ava fought with all their might, but they were no match for the undead Poseidon and his fearsome ability to control water. Despite their best efforts, they were being quickly pushed back.

Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, Ava had an idea. She grabbed Eli's hand and pulled her towards the wall of the arena.

"We can use the wall to our advantage!"

She shouted over the din of the battle.

Eli nodded, understanding what Ava was trying to do. Together, they made their way to the wall and began climbing. The undead Poseidon followed them, swinging his ruined trident wildly as he tried to knock them off.

But Eli and Ava were too quick for him. They reached the top of the wall and used their momentum to launch themselves off of it, leaping towards the undead Poseidon with their weapons drawn.

The unexpected attack caught the undead Poseidon off guard. Eli and Ava were about to land a few blows, but the creature growled in anger, summoning another wave of water knocking both of them off balance.

"Shit!"

Eli let out a scream before falling into the water.

As the battle raged on, Eli and Ava fought with all their might against the fearsome god. Ava summoned fireballs and sent them towards the creature, trying to find a weakness, while Eli used her muscular legs and her scythe to attack the creature with fierce blows.

Despite their best efforts, the undead God seemed almost impervious to their attacks. Its water affinity allowed it to easily deflect Ava's fireballs and its immense strength made it impossible for Eli to land a single blow.

As the battle wore on, the two women began to tire, their movements becoming slower and less precise. They knew that they had to find a way to defeat the undead Poseidon before they were overcome by fatigue.

Then, Eli had an idea. She remembered that the undead Poseidon was once the God of the sea, and that it had a strong affinity for water. She blindly charged at the creature with her scythe drawn, leaping into the air and swinging the blade towards its head.

At the same time, Ava summoned a massive ball of fire and sent it soaring towards the undead Poseidon. The two attacks collided in a burst of light and heat, and for a moment, it seemed as if the battle might be won.

But the undead Poseidon was not defeated so easily. With a roar of rage, it summoned a massive wave that crashed over Eli and Ava, washing them away and extinguishing the flames of Ava's fireball.

Eli and Ava struggled to keep their heads above water, their energy and strength sapped by the intensity of the battle. They knew that they couldn't keep this up much longer, and that they had to find a way to somehow wound the undead Poseidon once and for all.

Just as they were about to give up hope, they heard a faint rumbling sound in the distance. It grew louder and louder, and suddenly a massive tidal wave appeared on the horizon, moving towards the coliseum with incredible force.

The undead Poseidon turned towards the wave, its eyes filled with confidence as it saw its creation approaching the arena. The god even summoned a smaller wave on top of the giant one to boost the incoming tidal wave.

"Hold onto me!"

Ava shouted while hugging Eli and using her Lighting Step 3 times repetitively, appeared above the tidal wave.

Whoosh...

The massive wave crashed over the structure, sweeping everything away and engulfing it in a frothy whirlpool of water. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

"Are you okay?"

Seeing that Ava's face was slightly pale Eli asked. She knew that her friend may have ran out of Mana and was now lightheaded.

"I can cast Lightning Step once before my Mana is completely dried..."

Ava spoke while glaring daggers at the undead god. No matter how many times they've tried to get close, he was always protected by the water waves and barriers that seemed to appear in a second.

Splash...

Suddenly something huge rose from the water. The creature was made out of the water and reminded Ava of a massive serpent.

It was a goddamn Eastern Dragon!

The Dragon was a majestic sight to behold, with shimmering scales that glinted in the golden light of the sun levitating above the abyss.

The creature seemed to be made entirely out of water, with tendrils of liquid streaming off its body as it moved. Its eyes were piercing and bright, seeming to look right through the very soul of those who gazed upon it.

Its eyes locked onto Ava and Eli.

Splash...

The sound of water swirling was heard and it was awfully similar to a growl.

"How are we supposed to harm a God in the first place? And now he's creating water dragons! We aren't even Lv. 20 yet!"

Ava heard Eli whisper and couldn't help, but nod her head. Wasn't the game a bit too unfair?

Merry Christmas!
