She called out to Percy for help, she really want you to save her ass
She feels afraid of the fact that she might die
Percy noticed her health was low, very low. Something was wrong with her, something was killing her. Percy wrapped his hands around her body in order to move her and suddenly something poked him.
Percy slowly moved her body sideways and found a piece of red bone imbed into Mera's back. Percy could feel evil pour out of the red bone, it was like nothing he had ever felt before. It was like a piece of the Underworld was here on Earth, powerful and very deadly.
Fang of Janai'ngo
A fang of the legendary monster of the deep. It's poisonous nature will bring death with the slightest touch.
Effect: causes -100 HP damage per minute.
Percy was suprised, if this thing caused -100 HP damage per minute than she should have been dead in 10 minutes. The personal bio does however say she was good with magic, so maybe she's cast as spell on herself?
Percy ignored the lingering questions as he slowly manipulated the water to pull out the fang from out of Mere. The red bone was difficult to move but with a little prodding Percy managed to pull it out completely. He quickly opened his inventory and shoved the red bone in there for later use, after all that kind of poison could be useful.
Percy used blood control to stop the bleeding and quickly drew his own blood to form a healing rune around the affected area. Percy poured 1,000 HP and 200 MP into the rune restoring Mera to full health.
Slowly the mermaid's skin turned back to normal as her gills started to function again. She started to slowly opened her eyes looking directly at Percy.
"Daddy?" She asked in a weak voice.
"I'm not your dad Mera, but I'm going to make sure your safe," Percy said in a soft tone giving her the best smile he could.
"You're in danger," Mera said in her weak tone, "it's coming for you."
"What are you talking about Mera?"
"It's a trap," Mera spoke out as slowly she closed her eyes again and drifted to unconsciousness.
Percy looked at Mera body before sighing, 'of course it was a trap. It's always a trap. But by who?'
Just then something happened. Suddenly the water became cold, colder than ice. Percy could feel something from deep below him slowly rise up. Percy couldn't feel it, it didn't feel...natural. Percy could sense every creature in the sea, but this....this felt wrong. Like an area of the sea that just didn't exist. And it was now swimming right for him.
Percy quickly opened his inventory and shoved Mera inside, she would be to much of a distraction. Percy closed the inventory and began to swim back up to the surface. Whatever was coming for him felt powerful and dangerous. Percy knew he had every advantage right now being in the sea, but still something made him scared, he didn't want to see what was coming for him.
Percy swam upwards pushing the water below him rocketing towards the surface. '950 meters.'
Percy could feel the coldness of the deep catch up to him.
'800 meters.'
Slowly the water became thicker and more difficult to move in.
'750 meters.'
Percy could feel the cold reach his ankles and slowly climb upwards. Percy kicked harder allowing himself to out run the coldness. His heart started to pound itself faster and faster. He couldn't hear anything other than his own heart beat.
Ping!
Skill leveled up!
Swimming, Lv-16 (80%)
Your speed in swimming is that of an advanced swimmer-8 miles an hour.
'Not now!' Percy yelled at the notification pushing it away. His swimming skill wasn't really useful, his water control was the reason he could move up so quickly, but anything helps.
'650 meters.'
Just then something grabbed Percy's by the hip. The son of the sea god looked down and saw a giant tentacle grab ontop him. Percy commanded the water around him to push the limb off but it didn't obey.
Percy slowly started to feel suffocated, it was like the water was fighting back against him.
Ping!
The water is being controlled by a more powerful water being! Your water breathing skill had been neutralised.
Percy's brains started to panic overtime. He tugged and pulled trying to free himself but nothing worked. His mind was going crazy, he trashed around trying to wiggle out until Gamer's mind finally kicked in.
Percy stopped moving as slowly he was being dragged deeper into the ocean. Percy calmed himself and quickly thought up a plan. He opened his eyes and pulled on the darkness all around him using his shadow control to cut off the tentacle around him.
"ARGH!" A roar came out from underneath the depths of the sea as Percy freed himself swimming upwards.
Percy dodged and swam around several tentacles coming up to try and grab him. Percy moved the shadows to intercept and cut all of them before they could even reach him and when Percy was far enough his water breathing skill came back to him.
'500 meters!' Percy could see light at the end of a very long tunnel, but the son of Poseidon didn't give up. He swam faster and faster as slowly the tentacles grew in number. Suddenly one of them managed to avoid the shadows completely and wrapped itself around PErcy's chest.
Percy made to cut it off using his ice control when suddenly he felt something being injected into him from the tentacle. PErcy yelled out in pain as he formed an ice sword cutting the tentacles away. Percy looked and saw a big redbone now embedded into Percy's side. He could feel the poison spread and knew what to do.
He pulled the fang out and summoned a ball of fire in his hand. The fire feed of his mana as it continuously evaporated the water near it causing steam to instantly form. Percy pressed the fire up against his skin cauterising the wound allowing it to heal.
The coldness from before had now finally caught up to Percy. He could feel it right in front of him. He was outside its field of influence so he could still breath, but Percy could still feel it's power.
Percy raised his flame higher as the light produced shined on the creature revealing it's true from.
It was big, bigger than anything Percy ever fought. It was 80 feet long , Percy could barely see it's end. It's body was covered with grey scales, with crying faces carved into each one. It triangular face was covered with red eyeballs which were of hate and suffering. It's body was covered with tentacles along the back, the same one's that tried to grab Percy before. It's underside was lined with lobster claws as big as Percy's whole body and it's mouth had 8 pincers around it opening and closing in anticipation. But by far the worst was it's tail which was covered in spikes, and on that spike was the imbedded bodies of three different mermaids each mutilated beyond recognition.
Percy looked into it's eyes as slowly he felt his very soul shiver in fear. It's tentacles reached around Percy cutting off all escape route. Percy was stuck. It looked at Percy with it's numerous unwavering red eyes and Percy looked back.
The monster opened it's 8 pincers revealing a fleshly mouth underneath, "Now you shall die greek."
Percy quickly observed the monster;

He wants to eat Percy to strike out against the Greek Pantheon
Endless hunger.
Fear struck his heart. Percy didn't know who this creature was, it wasn't greek or roman. He couldn't sense it, it felt like a creature made out of nothing. A creature of the void. Percy looked into it's eyes once again as slowly the cold began to take over extinguishing the fire burning on the palm of his hand.
Okay another one done. This one was a slow one because I really wanted to introduce Odysseus clearly and the new group I made up. I also threw in a little Artemis because...well it's been over 200+K words and they still haven't even kissed, seriously I'm beinging to worry I can even make this pairing work.
Anyway hope you enjoy, oh and here's my quest to you guys;
Find out who Mera is, reward— 100 Exp points! (Hint, you probably saw her husband in a movie recently.)
Find out who the mysterious monster is— 50 Exp points!
Note: Could you all please give me an idea of a special feature of video games I should add in, think of it like a DLC upgrade to Percy's powers.
So...see you next week I suppose.
Chapter 28
Chapter 28:
Percy poured mana into the flames but the light kept dying out. The creature in front of him was somehow shutting off the light. Percy knew he didn't have much time left. He closed his eyes and gathered all the shadows around him while he bombarded the monster with a huge fist made out of ice.
Percy's HP: 6,650/7,650
MP:4,800/5,700
Percy quickly used the shadows he gathered and changed it into a drill sending it through the tentacles blocking his escaping route.
"ARGH!" The monster roared as the drill tore through the tentacles above Percy giving the son of Poseidon a chance to escape. The monster of the deep reached out to grab Percy with it's remaining limbs but Percy managed to dodge it at every turn as he swam higher and higher towards the ocean surface.
The monster roared at it swam faster and faster until it appeared in front of Percy cutting him off from his escape route.
Percy clicked his teeth in disappointment and quickly drew out Riptide and swung towards an approaching tentacle. The metal struck the skin of the monster but didn't even scratch it as Percy's blade rang out in protest causing Percy to be smacked to the side.
Percy lost Riptide as he was sent through the water like a bullet. "What the hell did I do to you?!" Percy roared out as he formed trident out of ice launching it at the monster.
"I do not answer to you Greek god," the demon roared out, surprising Percy,as it swatted the trident away, "your life is meaningless, it is but a pawn in the great scheme."
Percy grunted his teeth as he pushed himself away just as the monster launched its tentacles trying once again to capture him.
'I can't get close,' Percy told himself, 'the closer I get the less I can breath. And Riptide if basically useless, for some reason,' Percy pushed away swimming as fast he can away from the monster, 'if I can just hit him once with something long range than....wait, did he call me a god.'
"Yo Squid face!" Percy roared out turning back towards the monster, "did you just call me a god?"
"My name is Janai'ngo you pathetic god! And yes I did, though you may not be an actual god you pathetic belief of humanity!"
"Well squid face sorry to break it to you, but I'm not a god, just a demigod."
"What?! But I can sense you power! You have the essence of the sea in you!"
"Ah yeah... I'm a demigod of Poseidon, being part of the sea is kind of my thing."
The monster growled and threw its tentacles up, "I told that pathetic mermaid to call forth her father, not a useless demigod! The next time I see her I'll make sure to make the torture last longer, she will scream my name like her sisters did!"
Percy narrowed his eyes, it may have been the Poseidon in him or maybe he own sense of moral, but seeing such a creature like a mermaid be assaulted by a monster like this pissed Percy off. He looked at monster's spiky tail and there were the skewer remains of the dead mermaids.
Percy wanted to run before, but now he was pissed. The monster was still cursing up a storm when Percy opened up his inventory and pulled out the one long range weapon he had;
Light Beam Cannon,
A canon that uses light to form beams of energy. Light can be stored up inside the canon like a solar panel and be used at anytime, anyplace.
Damage— 4 x number of minutes it has collected solar energy
Warning! Overcharging can cause a backlash from the weapon which may hurt the user!
Note: You will get +500 Attack if you shout, 'Super beam cannon!' at the top of your voice when using this weapon!
Percy placed the cannon on his shoulder and made sure it was on before he aimed it the monster with his finger on the trigger. "Hey Squid face!"
"I told you my name is-huh?"
"SUPER BEAM CANNON!" Percy yelled pressing the trigger.
BOOM!
Water was pushed aside as beam of bright blue and yellow cut through the ocean smashing right into Janai'ngo head. Percy was blinded by the light and was pushed back by the canon's kick but held on tight. His fingers turned white as slowly Percy was pushed deeper underwater as the beam continued tearing into Janai'ngo.
Finally the beam stopped as Percy finally let go of the weapon. He put the weapon to the side just as a box opened up in front of him;
Bonus damage for hitting a monster of darkness with a light based attack!
40% more damage!
40% more damage of 627,680 Attack! = 878,752 Attack!
Percy smiled, he had left his canon on the roof of his cabin and there it remained for the rest of the year. Every day it soaked up sunlight and when Percy left for the quest he took his canon with him. And now all of that was paying off big time.
Percy looked for Janai'ngos remains to spit on when slowly a figure came down towards Percy. The demigod's eyes widened in shock and is belief as the monster of the deep slowly swam closer and closer towards Percy. Half of it's head was blown away revealing the brain and flesh hidden underneath. It's blood spread out like poison sending chills down Percy's spine.
It didn't say a word, it didn't speak. It's remaining red eyes locked on to Percy as slowly the darkness around it grew large enough to block out the light from above. Percy snapped his fingers summoning his flame once more before launching it at the monster.
Janai'ngo smacked the simple fire ball away with one of it's tentacles and rushed towards Percy. The son of Poseidon moved to the side but the monster was on top of him already. It grabbed Percy with one tentacle and threw Percy further down into the sea.
Percy gritted his teeth as water rushed past him. He felt himself being sent deeper and deeper.
'1050 meters,' Percy realised as slowly he began to slow down.
'2000 meters,' Percy told himself as he slowly came back to a halt. Percy tried to get ready to fight back but before he could move a muscle Janai'ngo was ontop of him already. He used one tentacle to grab each of Percy's limbs and pulled stretching the young boy to his limits.
