He may not have the ability to fly as long as his spinal cord remains paralyzed, but he still had the capabilities to glide with a small weak wind.
“You see, Marina, it is I who holds the real power, not that pathetic hybrid. And he will be the perfect sacrifice for a new age of Shadows. In the end, it is I who has won.”
“On the contrary once again,” shouted the demigod hanging from the rock wall, so he would get the attention of Uragiru. “Once the gods have chosen their champion, he or she is protected by the gods and they will always be protected by the gods… until their champion has fulfilled their ultimate goal: as long Lusìvar lives, I can’t be killed.”
With a bang when he decided to head to knock on the rock, a loud shake rumbled beneath the feet of Uragiru. This caused him and Marina to lose their balance, but Uragiru was standing so close to the edge to see where he heard Valverno’s voice, he fell over the cliffs.
Uragiru fell over the cliffs while Marina stayed away from the cliffs and away from Valverno’s view, knowing she would be safe up there instead of joining him and the falling king. Valverno could jump to kill the king, but his injures he had made it difficult for him to do jump high; he was like a regular human being without any magical talents.
The king fell over the cliff and to another point where he managed to grab onto and keep himself from falling. He was higher about twenty feet diagonally from where Valverno was clinching to.
Valverno wasn’t going to have the king climb back to the cliffs and have his way with Marina. Marina belonged to Valverno and the demigod wasn’t going to have anyone touch her but him. Valverno climbed the rock and slowly began his way up. He may not have been able to fly or use a great agility to speed climb, but he could dig his fingers into the rock and force his body higher with great strength.
“This is going to be your end, Uragiru!” shouted the demigod. With his strength not paralyzed, Valverno found himself climbing at a slow, steady speed.
Just as close as he came close to Uragiru, who was still holding onto the rock he was climbing upon, Valverno heard a whipping sound coming behind him. He turned his head to the Pool of Shadows, and there were six long, liquid whips rising from the Pool, the same whips that dragged Valverno in into the Pool of Shadows.
The whips of the Pool of Shadows started to take form. Valverno swing himself from in different directions and made sure he wasn’t going to be pulled into the Pool of Shadows for a second time.
Then he turned to see Uragiru stepping onto another rock point wide enough to make him stand on it. The king, with a horrible obsessive face believing he had won, held the Crystal Sword high and ready to strike down the demigod.
“Now, the last hope for mankind will fall into the abyss and the Light with him forever!”
Then Valverno saw beneath the king’s feet laid a dead animal hanging. No doubt created by the witch and her dragon partner. It seemed it was missed by Valverno’s green flare that turned all the dead animals into dust. It was a Minotaur’s chest, stitched with a small dragon head, human legs, and a horse’s tail. Looking at it gave the demigod an idea.
“Not today!” shouted Valverno. With his wings and legs and one hand hanging on the rock, Valverno used the pointy end of his tail and shot at the rock Uragiru was standing on.
His tail’s pointy end flew like an arrow being released from a bow and struck the rock Uragiru was standing on. This made it crumble upon impact and loosen from the rock’s grip with the wall and caused Uragiru to lose his balance. He slipped from the rock, but still grabbed onto it with both hands. And he still held onto the sword he was holding that was held by Valverno.
“The one going to be sacrificed to the Pool… is you!” shouted Valverno. Then he released all his grips on the rock wall but with one hand holding onto the rock. His body swung and quickly grabbed an oncoming whip coming his way. He grabbed it and ripped it like a leave from a branch and flung it to the dead animal.
The black water sank into the dead monster and suddenly awoken it like a crying baby who was suddenly woke from a loud noise.
While Uragiru tried to climb back up, his hands were suddenly caught by the waking monster and its dragon head turned to meet Uragiru’s face; it growled scarily upon looking at the king’s face from a close range and with deep red-raging, blood-sucking eyes.
The head gave Uragiru a great horror and scare upon his face; the old man found himself caught by the monster’s hands clinging to his own and the monster tightly wrapped the legs around Uragiru’s legs and held the king close to it. By the sight of the monster’s face, Uragiru screamed loudly as he gazed into the monster’s evil eyes, the monster brought from the dead by a single whip from the Pool of Shadows.
Then Valverno bent his legs to the wall and jumped like a grasshopper and flung right past the rock the king and the monster were hanging on to.
As he flung himself to a higher altitude; he grabbed the Crystal Sword from the king’s hand by using his own hands.
While he was passing by, Valverno used the claws of his feet and his tail to break the rock from the wall, give Uragiru a scar on his eye and a divine glow showing this was a man
