Finding Amber

Arthur and Kamandag set their way on finding Amber that vanished without notice, but Kamandag can sense her trail and this leads them to the lair of the santelmos and they both know that this will be rough road ahead for the both of them. Also, Kamandag sensed that Amber is near with the two who has the most powerful aura across this land, she already informed Arthur and this might be an easy find for them since they can meet Amaterasu if she is the one who holds that power.

“DODGE!” the snake shouted at the knight when she saw a fireball hurling over them. The knight easily dodged the fireball and he quickly searches for the one who is responsible with the fireball. It created a large crater and that was followed with more fireballs. He immediately draws his sword from his scabbard and sliced through it with his lightning attribute. He sliced through it as fast as he can and quickly dashed forward. He saw the santelmos with rage on its face preparing for another barrage of fireballs towards them. He prepares his sword for a quick attack.

“Hold tight,” he warned the snake and Kamandag hold him tightly. He changes the angle of his sword and he rubbed it against the soil that created a trail of straight line. “Constellation Scorpius,” he whispered and his moves became lightning speed and like a lightning he dashed in every santelmos in his field of vision and stabbed them once at their weak spots. He stopped at their back and the santelmos exploded in unison that created a loud bang.

“Are we near?” he asked the snake.

“Yes, but multiple enemies up ahead,” she answered his question. From afar they can see a huge lizard dashing towards them and a number of santelmos beside it. Arthur points his swords towards the sky and he prepare for a large-scale attack that will wipe them in one sweep.

“Constellation Big Dipper,” he whispered as his sword begins to emit electric current and charged the sky. It created a thunder cloud and he linked it with electric current. With his strength he tried to shove the cloud towards the enemies. When the thunder cloud is within range, he fully emits his electricity from his sword and he immediately cuts the link. They are both in the safe distance from the thunder cloud and they watch how the enemy was paralyzed with the lightning shower that was created by the thunder cloud, but the salamander just negated the thunder bolts and keep its speed dashing to them. “What a pain!” he shouted at frustration. “My attacks don’t work on this monster,” he added and Kamandag thought that there is no other way but to fight the monster herself. The body of the salamander is too hot for her so she cannot bite it. She needs to transform in order to perform her spells.

“Do you have a cloak?” she asked the knight.

“In the bag!” he answered.

“Where?” she asked again.

“I dropped it there,” he said and pointed where he dropped it.

“Give me some time,” she ordered the knight and she immediately crawls out of his shoulder and she crawl towards the bag at full speed. She quickly reaches for the cloak inside it once she reaches the bag and she crawled under it. She begins to recite the spell of her transformation and her body was once again covered in red glowing dusts.

Like her first transformation, she completely n***d and there is nothing to be embarrass about since the knight is completely focused on the salamander. The cloak is big enough to cover her body and with her wings she used it to reach Arthur.

“Let me take this battle!” she shouted to Arthur as she flies above him. “To that cave! Amber is there, go and save her!” she added as she points where the cave is located. The knight just nodded at him and he used his sword to give the monster one fatal blow that knocked it away. With its regenerating abilities the blow is not that much of a big deal but it gave the knight some time to run away. He is not technically running away from the fight.

The fire lizard attempted to chase the knight who is running away from it but Kamandag shoots one poison ball at the creature. The salamander barely stopped on time to avoid the poison ball that will mess it insides severely.

“I am your enemy now,” she taunted the lizard and the salamander gave her a loud growl, but she just hissed at it very angrily. It tried to lunge at her but she avoided it very easily since she can fly but the salamander almost caught her when it immediately jumps vey high almost reaching her. She flies much higher and chanted another spell and moments later her body emits poison from her skin. Kamandag stopped at the highest altitude that she can reach and searches for the salamander.

Once she spotted it, she stopped flapping her wings and glide down towards the giant lizard at full speed. “Posion Cannon,” she whispered. As she falls down her speed is increasing and her poison is boiling because of the hot air temperature.

She cuts through the salamander’s whole body, and it growled in pain. Kamandag was buried underneath the ground as she created another crater. She immediately transformed into a snake and crawls out of the hole. She looks back to see the salamander squirming in pain and later on she knows that it will explode. She rushed to not be caught in its explosion.

Meanwhile Arthur spotted the cave that is full of crystals. He is not sure if this is the right cave where Amber is in, but he needs to take his chances and he is hoping that created the right decision in entering this cave.

“AMBER!” he shouted and his voice echoed throughout the cave, but he receives no response. He started to walk inside the cave and he felt something powerful is lurking inside this cave. If only that snake is here, I will not be lost, he thought to himself.

All he is thinking about now is to find Amber. He did not return his sword from its scabbard but he prepared himself for any upcoming attack since the place is dark that he can barely see a thing.
