Revenge of the Serpent

Chapter 49

'...Sorry.'

Those words echoed through his mind as Theodore stared at his father's limp body, watching blood from the hole in his chest pooled all around him.

He was in denial for a moment as time seemed to have stopped just for him to think. He was feeling a mixture of both confusion and rejection, unsure what to make of the current situation.

Eventually, his gaze would snap from his father towards Ra, and in almost an instant, a bubbling rage rose inside his chest.

'...'

Theodore immediately rushed towards Ra while multiple magic circles appeared behind him, they gleamed green before dozens of claws emerged from them.

He was beyond angry, his chest burned to the point of it being painful. He didn't make a sound, not a single cry escaped his gritted teeth as he let himself be guided by pure rage.

Ra's expression didn't change one bit when he fully turned to face Theodore, he waved his hand and summoned multiple fire constructs all around him as they all would fly towards their targets the instant they were manifested.

Theodore's Dragon Claws tore through everything thrown his way, much to Ra's surprise, he raised his eyebrows in slight confusion but nonetheless continued to attack, trying to see what would work.

Although, Ra's flaming attacks had only managed to slow him down, and even so Theodore showed no sign of stopping or wavering one bit.

'...It seems that using a human vessel is too limiting.' Ra thought to himself as Theodore cast another spell, this time dark smoke rose from the ground and encased his entire body, and in a matter of seconds, he along with his other magic circles disappeared.

Frowning, Ra began to look around while keeping his guard up, not knowing what sort of spell Theodore's just used. He would soon find out though as the subject of his caution suddenly appeared right behind him, bringing the green dragon claws up from the black smog and all of them struck forward.

However, a god will always be a god, Ra instantly reacted to the ambush and turned around, extending out his hands just in time for a wall of flames to shoot up and brushed all the razors away.

Theodore tooked a step back, almost got hit by the sudden counterattack, however when the wall lowered itself, Ra was encased in an aura of golden divinity. He recalled the dragon claws and attacked the barrier, however all of them would simply bounce off of it.

"You've grown way stronger than I've anticipated." Ra spoke with a crooked head. "I've gotten rid of one of your more annoying followers and your strength isn't reduced at all. I'll retreat for the time being, Apostle, this is your lucky day…"

Theodore didn't get the chance to say anything back at all, he could only watch in silence as the air around Ra bursted upwards, only for the man to disappear the moment the flames had died down and soon the portals around them would disperse as well, leaving little to no trace behind.

He didn't even realize how frustrated he was feeling that his powerful aura burst forward and encased everything around him.

Mixed with his ice, the ground and walls began to freeze up, causing the two conscious people still within the perimeter to panic and they quickly turned towards him.

"Your Majesty! Please calm yourself!" Rhys was too afraid to speak up so Sheridan had to be the one desperately crying out, she slowly moved closer towards Theodore despite her many injuries however she would only be pushed back by the sheer force of the energy.

Rhys grabbed Sheridan by the arm and pulled her back towards him, eyes cautiously fixated at Theodore who seemed to be in a trance as he was now staring at Lawrence's body, it was hard to see his expression due to the dark aura encasing his figure.
