CHAPTER 30

The nixies hissed and screamed.

“Oh, my …” My voice failed as I stared at the giant sailfin that towered over me. Just how massive was the body supporting it?

The nixies dove to the side, attempting to escape.

Water exploded around us without warning, and an enormous pectoral fin erupted through the surface. It struck my bubble before hitting the nixies with a bone-crushing force. My shield shattered, and I was thrown high into the air, spinning and gasping. My HP dropped seventy percent more, leaving the bar in the red. I flailed in the air until I was finally able to control my body, then once I was upright, I controlled the mist around me. Landing on a solid surface, I took a deep breath, trying to make the world stop spinning. From thirty feet up, I stared down at the huge shape becoming more and more clear as the enormous fin splashed back into the water.

The water fey fared a little worse than me. They were also launched into the air, but there was nothing graceful about them as they flailed, screaming. Some were thrown to the sides, clearing the shadow under the water before they slapped back onto the water and sank down, disappearing from view while leaving black stains in their wake.

The second nixie with the broken nose and the leader were pitched straight up into the sky. The leader clawed at the air, its eyes wide with fear; I couldn’t help but wonder if this was the first time it was ever out of the water. The accompanying nixie looked just as frightened.

There was another water explosion which sent the nixies back up into the air. Even though I hovered to the side, I was drenched again.

From the water, a dinosaur appeared. Seriously, a seventy-foot dinosaur! It was covered in navy blue scales, each probably the size of my hands. Its head alone was twice as long as I was tall, then there was its long neck and the smooth oval body; the stubby tail lashed about as the enormous flippers agitated the water. Above its head read: [Plesiosaurus Lv68].

I gaped at it. Why didn’t I know there was a Loch Ness monster in the Gate? Like for reals; I had no idea!

The leader screamed as its rise ended and it began to plummet. The plesiosaurus opened its mouth wide and jerked its head up. The nixie’s scream was cut off as the plesiosaurus snapped its jaws shut with a sharp thud, the whole nixie gone in one bite.

A chill went through my body.

When its leader was eaten, the second nixie squealed in terror. It continued to fall past the plesiosaurus’s head, belly-flopping right on its back, just barely missing being skewered on the bony dorsal fin which ran the whole length. The nixie groaned and wiggled around, trying to claw off the monster, but it was obviously disoriented.

The plesiosaurus swallowed, the bulge sinking from its head down its neck to its body before disappearing. Satisfied, it turned its head and looked at the nixie on its back.
