Twilight of a Hybrid, стр. 74
“Valverno, how do you feel?” asked Geraldus, who showed no surprise look.
“I feel like an old man now,” answered Valverno. “It seems when I reconnected the armor with my leg, three thousand more years have awakened. Among the ten thousand years I’ve been asleep, six thousand have awakened in me, and two-thirds of my power have been also been reawakened.”
The growling of the Titan had got the attention of Sora, Geraldus, and Valverno. The Leviathan’s growl was more furious than ever; its hand was torn and its eye scorned. Despite the damage the Leviathan had taken from a few small insects, the Leviathan got back to its legs, ready for a second round of the little terminates causing the Leviathan much disarray.
The ancient monster has not only gotten the group’s attention but Valverno’s attention. Valverno flapped his wings and easily soared into the air and amazed he can fly once again. Proud to be flying again in the air and with a great power of speed, Valverno flew directly for the large Titan’s chest.
At an incredible speed and a powerful punching impact, Valverno went against the Titan, which was a thousand times bigger than he was, and directed a powerful blow with his hands.
A bright light ignited as soon Valverno touched the Leviathan. Valverno’s wings had conjoined with his hands in the brightening event. Valverno, with this new speed he was feeling in his wings, hurled the Leviathan backwards. With the first armor attached to his arms that gives him strength and the second armor attached to his leg that gives him speed, Valverno tipped the Leviathan in the opposite direction the Leviathan was facing.
The Leviathan was caught unaware that the demigod had his power dramatically increased; the Leviathan never imagined it would have been pushed down by a small insects. The power swelling within the demigod was greater than the Leviathan itself; the Leviathan found itself being nudged toward the rugged cliffs by the demigod.
With the strength he was channeling, Valverno pushed the Leviathan toward the cliffs and where the Pool of Shadows lies beneath. Valverno was internally going to push the Leviathan over the cliffs and to certain doom where it will be trapped in the Pool of Shadows. “You’ll no longer be a part of this world nor the next,” growled Valverno. “You’ve chosen you’re fate long ago. Now, be eternally imprisoned in the Pool of Shadows.”
Then Valverno stopped and whipped his tail at the Leviathan, making it fall onto its back and roll toward the cliffs.
The Leviathan fell over the cliffs, but its arms and a leg managed to grab the ledges with two-thirds of its body hanging for its life. Its eyes glared at the demigod, not ready to give up the fight over life and death.
Valverno puffed and drew out the sword and ripped it into the two different twin swords. He proceeded to fly toward the dangling Titan while performing a tornado-like spin attack aiming toward its arm, with the swords stretched outward. Valverno plunged into the Titan’s left shoulder, with his two sharp blades tearing through the Titan’s flesh.
The arm fell off and toward the Pool of Shadows splashing a small portion of the black liquid in the air. The Leviathan barely slipped after having its entire arm torn from its shoulder.
After that, Valverno swung around to the other arm, which still had a hand attached. Instead of cutting or tearing, Valverno gave a big breath of a crispy, cold, icy wind; snowflakes small like dust particles froze over the Leviathan’s remaining arm and the entire ground surrounding the hanging Leviathan.
Like a fire-breathing Dragon, Valverno soared across the ground where the Leviathan had a chance to climb up and made a frozen, slippery ground.
The Leviathan found itself nowhere to grab and continued to slip backwards. The ice created by a small demigod was too slippery for the Titan to grab and lost his grip over the edges. However, its tail whipped over its head and slashed into the ice and the ground, preventing from falling. The Leviathan had its chin just over the edges and its last eye not blinded trying to look for Valverno, but he seemed to have disappeared. However, it saw a bright flash.
The last thing the Leviathan ever looked was Valverno blinding its last eye with a blade. It felt pain everywhere, losing its grip, falling over the cliffs, and splashing into the Pool of Shadows.
Valverno witnessed from above the King of the Titans disappearing into the Pool of Shadows, sending out huge splashes of the black liquid from the Titan’s splashing impact. “The King of the Titans is no more!” he exclaimed. He snapped the two swords back together like a puzzle set. He flew over to rejoin with Marina and Flarefur, who were still on the other side of the ridge.
Soon after seeing shocking looks on their faces, Valverno saw Geraldus and Sora rejoining them from the other side.
Marina and Flarefur witnessed another surprise: Geraldus was a White Knight. Geraldus saw the Siren and the Griffin looking complete shocked to see another part of an ancient legend right beneath their noses.
Valverno strolled up to Geraldus. “Why didn’t you tell me you were a White Knight yet descended from one?”
Geraldus signed. “I’d never thought I would unleash this ancient power in this day of this Generation… Valverno. The power has been sleeping for thousands of years, waiting for you to return. I’d never thought of you awakening in my lifetime.”
“Yet I am awake and you didn’t awaken your power when I woke up.”
“You were a child and children don’t have their true
