The Guardian gods-Chapter 172

Using the momentum of being pushed by the waves the demon swung the sentinel as it switched places with it before being thrown back at it quickly headed for one other sentinel with a shield who appeared in front of it.

Rearing it’s hand back to hit the shield, the demon struck with a force visible to the surrounding water but the impact the demon was expecting wasn’t met as it went through the shield sentinel like it wasn’t there but instead a sentinel held a hammer.

Acting with instinct the flames around the demon’s hand burned brighter as a shield construct made of flames appeared to which the hammer fell on causing a visible shockwave in the water. The demon successfully blocked the attack but with it ment with the second effect of the hammer as it felt it’s hands vibrating almost like it stood in front of a shockwave.

Not bothering with i’s still shaking hand, the flames shield morphed into a huge flame hand that caught another hammer attack ready to fall on it, the horns on the demon shined as the last second it’s body moved on its own as an invisible arrow passed by its previous position.

The demon wasn’t really free as the sentinel with trident and sword had closed in from each side ready to descend upon it. It was at this time that the last sentinel which hasn’t made a move moved at it raised a staff it was holding causing sea weed to appear from nowhere grabbing hold of the demon restricting its movement"

The demon roared as Flames grew around its body which left in the form of a circular shockwave that pushed the sentinels back at the same time burning away the seaweed. The flame shockwave raised a lot of steam which was rapidly dying out and when it was fully gone the demon was nowhere to be seen.

Tide in his throne frowned as his eyes shined when all of a sudden a sword made of rocks pierced through his chest from behind, the cracks in the rocks sword had red flames in it which began spreading all over.

The demon appeared holding the sword in its hand with a frown on its face ast it stared at the sentinel with shield when all of a sudden one of his horns flashed once again as stepped back and once again disappeared.

The moment he disappeared a huge mouth similar to a shark appeared where he was at, at the time the tide who was stabbed disappeared only to show his position had been moved. Tide closed his eyes to increase his sensitivity with his domain yet he felt nothing.

Opening his mouth, an invisible spread from his mouth across the sea yet no feedback to show that the demon was anywhere near. Looking at the sentinel with shield, Tide knew it would be the demon’s next target so his eyes flashed as the sentinel with shield merged with the water around becoming invisible to the eyes.

The other sentinels did the same so for a while it was quiet with only Tide who sat in a throne of Ice with an ethereal throne and his eyes closed, with the occasional voices of war cries in the distance.

Tide realm was a manifestation of tide’s envy for his fathers power, he always has admired his father who sits in his throne in his realm commanding everything happening across all sea, with only one word all aquatic life forms bow to his father.

That was his original goal to have a life similar to that, which he accomplished by creating a successful kingdom and he was quite proud of his growth as an individual and a leader. One day he sat on the throne as he began thinking about how wanted more.

On his throne he realized he could never come close to what his father did, his men and people after everything settled down began exploring the sea and Tide who was interested to see what felt small even after all he accomplished.

The sea is deep, unbelievably deep and the deeper it gets the harder it becomes to move and survive. Tide remembered wandering off to see the deepest he could get, he got so deep that even with his demigod lineage he found it hard to move freely.

For Tide this was something of a shame, so he pushed on when all of sudden he ran into what he believed to be a wall at the time but to his surprise when the wall shook only to be greeted with a huge eye.

Tide truly was cred at seeing that the first time but all of a sudden he began laughing, his laugh seemed to awaken a lot of sleeping behemoths as huge eyes opened staring at the laughing demigod, yet in tho huge eyes there were no hostility some even had a look of recognition in it before closing.

"I really can’t have it all" Tide remembered thinking this to himself before he remembered his kingdom and said "I can’t have it all but I can start small, one day all sea will come to know of the name Tide son of Jaws"

In response to his words, Tide remembered at the time as his consciousness was brought into what he believed to be another world but this one was filled with water and there were a few water lifeforms there which he saw and later learned were called elementals.

Five of these water elementals were attracted to him and so was Tide, Tide didn’t remember all that happened only that the elementals kneeled to him and his consciousness was brought back, from that day his power to the next step and he always had a connection with the five elemental life form which can only be summoned into this world when his domain field is opened.

When he first explored his power to summon them, Tide was surprised when a throne of Ice appeared behind him, with an ethereal crown, once he sat down on the throne Tide connection to water went to level he never felt before and so he summoned the elementals, they all looked like irregular balls of water at first but seeing his form, they subconsciously changed to look like him.

Tide subconsciously understood what they were to do, so he took the elemental Lifeform to his treasury where they were free to pick a weapon of choice. Once they all choose a weapon Tide remembered them taking a knee holding out each weapon to him.

Tide knowing what to do walked to the elemental holding a sword, touching the sword he felt a piece of him leaving and moving into the sword "Sword of Tempest, the Sentinel wielding this weapon can summon fierce whirlwinds and storms, manipulating the water and air to create devastating cyclones that engulf and disorient foes"

"Trident of Frost, this sentinel’s trident radiates an aura of icy coldness, capable of freezing water in its path and encasing enemies in solid ice"

"Bow of Tidal Arrows, armed with a mystical bow, this sentinel can conjure arrows of condensed water imbued with the force of crashing waves. Each arrow strikes with the power of a tidal surge, overwhelming adversaries with sheer force"

"Staff of Marine Growth, With a staff adorned with coral and seaweed, this sentinel can accelerate the growth of underwater flora, summoning thickets of kelp and coral reefs to entangle and ensnare"

"Shield of Reflecting Seas, Equipped with a shimmering shield, this sentinel can manipulate the reflective properties of water to create illusions and mirages, disorienting foes and leading them astray"

"Hammer of Leviathan, gripped by the fifth water sentinel, this massive hammer unleashes seismic shockwaves upon impact"

Tide remembered sharing all his capabilities with the six weapons, before the elementals now called sentinels were unsummoned. Apart from this, in Tide’s demigod realm he reigned supreme, wielding unparalleled authority over the water element within its confines. Beyond the boundaries of his domain, however, his control was tethered to the elemental forces residing within him and his heritage as a demigod.

And right now even within the confines of his domain, Tide doesn’t feel the presence of the demon after its disappearance, Tide was taking this went all of sudden he frowned as the demon emerged together with the shield sentinel decapacitated.

The demon seemed to feel Tide staring at it so he smiled back at him before disappearing once more, the shield of reflecting seas flew back to Tide side and turned into a dot of light that flew into the ethereal crown making its appearance more compact.

Tide eyes flashed from his throne as the sentinels came reappeared since there was no use for them to keep hiding as the demon has shown that it can sense them, the sentinel holding a sword raised it up up once other sentinels are besides it as a huge cyclone began forming in the water with them at the center.

"Let’s see how you get through this without exposing yourself" Tide thought to himself with his hands on his shin watching the huge cyclone.
