Chapter 18

Alessa

Jade and I landed on the roof of a building. With little effort, from our perch we directed attacks that caused entire structures to either collapse or explode into flames. We weren’t in it for the blood. We both knew that we needed levels.

Sending an arrow through a building, Jade caused it to explode with the single attack. I grinned and pointed at another building before creating an icicle that dropped from the sky and flattened the structure. I heard a few screams as it came down.

Zombies and ghouls rushed through the streets, slaughtering anything with a heartbeat that got in their path. I hoped that some of the ghouls gained enough experience to evolve. They were a decent force when utilized properly.

“Your Highness,” Jade said, pointing.

I followed her finger to see a glowing dome in the center of town. The priests had finally retaliated, even if it was just keeping the lesser undead at bay.

“I’ll handle it.” I used the roofs and made my way over. Landing above them, I took in what I had to deal with. A few men and women in white and blue were channeling their mana to create a selection of different barriers, each primed for different tolerance with holy magic being the main barrier.

Checking it over, I decided that few of my girls could get through it easily. I stood up and cracked my neck as I thought of my newest transformation. Unable to handle the weight, the roof I stood on cracked as my body shifted to the new form. With an explosion of wood and debris, I fell through the building.

Once I finished transforming, I used my senses to find the strongest member of the church group and coiled. Releasing the tension, I blasted through the wall of the building and slammed into the barrier. While the holy layer managed to hold me for a few seconds, it wasn’t strong enough to block me in the end. It shattered and the rest of the barriers did little to stop me, being geared toward other magic tolerances.

Using my size, I wrapped around the group of about three hundred people. I was surprised that I was that long in my snake form. I really wouldn’t want to meet this monster in the wild. The people started to throw spells or run and slice at me with all manner of weapons. I hissed more from instinct than pain. In fact, I couldn’t feel a thing they were doing. The fire spells felt a little warm, perhaps.

I shifted and reduced the size of the encirclement, slowly drawing closer. A few of the higher-level people tried to jump or climb over me, but I concentrated and was able to coat my scales with poison. They were soon falling to the ground, screaming or groaning in pain. It was at that moment that an odd desire washed over me.

Again, more by instinct than my own desire, I lunged forward and wrapped my jaws around a woman who was prone on the ground.
