Chapter 176: 173. Sacrifice
'No, no, no. Why? Why does my life has to be like this? This woman had this power all along?!!!' Collins cursed at his luck inwardly.
He thought he managed to earn the trust of the woman over the weeks and now that it suddenly came to this she just turned her back on him.
"Please, there must be another way." Collins' voice cracked as he saw some people from the crowd come to carry him.
"You being here will make us die of starvation." A bulky man, the same one that invited him to the underground space said as he lifted Jude up.
The man jumped up high as he was directly below the door on the surface and then as he got close to the door, it opened automatically and he landed on the ground and began walking very quietly. Four other amazonians came out too along with the elder and they all moved slowly.
There was a large red pipe that was closeby, it looked like it went all the way to the other side of Amazon.
The pipe was 100 metres tall and it nearly was as tall as the walls leading upwards into the wilderness.
'Is that really... It?' Collins thought as he swallowed, observing the red pipe in the distance.
It was not actually a pipe but the body of Rava, the red snake and king of the creatures on the island. Just seeing it's body made Jude shiver. Last time he could only see it's head which was as tall as 200 metres but he didn't actually look at the body in front of him to know the actual size.
Jude closed his eyes as he focused on the current thought. There was no way he was getting out of this.
'It feels as if my muscles are being paralyzed, but I'm starting to regain control. Guess vamp healing wasn't for jokes either. I hope the sun goes down quickly, I can turn into a bat and escape this.' Collins thought and then he slowly began to feel a bit of strength return to him.
It was over ten minutes and they finally got to a building which had it's front broken and destroyed. It seemed like some kind of animal fight occured in the area.
The people all breathed out as they walked in.
The inside was empty except from an alter in the middle which had a lion symbol on it.
"Place him on the alter."
The old lady said and all of a sudden, Collins held the guys shoulder and pushed himself in front of the guy. Putting his legs on the guy's body he pushed and launched himself towards the old lady with his claws outstretched towards her.
She raised a hand towards him and before she could do what she did before, Collins' hand was already impaled in her chest. The woman shook as blood dropped to the floor and she began coughing out blood too.
"AHHHHHH...!!" She let out a pained cry which was very loud and then Collins kicked her away.
[You have slayed the 7th class amazonian Shaman. You have recieved 1210 seventh class Spirit points.]
[You have gained a skill.]
'Thinking I could gain favour was foolish.' Collins thought and he coldly looked at the others that were there and he immediately began to move backwards, first dismissing the screens in front of him.
'Humans the same everywhere... Like what the FUCK? Even this guy who told me he liked me very much.' Collins thought as he looked at the amazonian in the front who was pointing a spear.
*BOOM!!*
The ceiling of the building broke inwards and then a loud roar echoed all around Amazon and Collins had to close his ears.
"No! Run!!"
The amazonians took a run for it and then the white snake which just showed itself blasted a wave of blue, cold chilling flames towards them and then Collins swallowed as he saw the men frozen to ice in the next moment.
Hearing sudden movent, he rolled out of the way and the snake hit it's head on the ground and then a pained hiss left it's mouth. Nima, the white snake, turned towards Collins and breathed out a torrent of blue flames towards him.
Collins raised up a wall of earth to defend himself and his speed suddenly sky rocketed. He turned into a blur and then the black snake found him, it was just up ahead.
Collins furrowed his brows as he kept his eyes on the snake. He noticed the scales of the snake having a golden light emitting from between the scales and it's eyes glowed brighter and then a stream of hot flames blasted out of its mouth in his direction.
The flames were amazingly much as it spread the moment it came out of the Snakes mouth, like a continuous gas explosion.
Collins took a sharp turn and the white snake that was behind him slithered into the flames in front of it and it let out a loud pained shriek. Ice suddenly covered it's body and stopped the pain.
Collins gritted his teeth as the trap he set for both snakes didn't work. But at least he bought himself some time.
The white snake roared loudly at the black snake and they then looked at Jude and rushed towards him, speeding past 60 metres in a single second, approaching Collins with his 45 metre per second speed.
The snakes crashed through the buildings one by one spewing flames from their mouths, burning and freezing the path before then and they both roared as they stopped and then blasted towards Collins at the same time.
Collins' eyes widened as he saw a large wall of blue and red flames coming at him while roaring fiercely.
'Shit!!' Collins immediately summoned his shield from his spirit and then he cornered a little.
There was a large building ahead which looked quite sturdy and strong and Jude diverted as he ran and he began to feel the pain of the flames.
He put the shield behind him and it charged with spirit energy before a pulse wave shot outwards, boosting Collins forward and he grabbed onto the building and his behind it.
The wave of flames suddenly crashed against the building and the sound of the impact made Collins cover his ears and he sat tight.
'The sun should go away quickly!!' Collins thought and then he sat down patiently.
He couldn't use his bat form under the sun, or so Dexter said.
After ten seconds, the flames finally calmed down and then Collins stood up to see that half of the building was glowing as it was red and the other half was frozen.
