BXBX NOVEL Chapter 314 - Third Stage Of The Competition (19)
When Adrianna looked around, all she could see was huge expanse of turbulent waters all around her. The wind affected the waters around her to become choppy. This effect transformed it into angry waves. Adrianna struggled to keep afloat over water and she was quickly engulfed in the sea. She waited for the waves above to pass and then emerged out on the surface. However, as soon as she was out, she realized that it was raining and the harsh winds slammed the rain right into her face. It was as if tiny stones were being pelted on her. It was better in the water than above the water. She took a large gulp of air and dived inside.
She swam a little but felt the sea swelling beneath her feet. She swam in the direction away from the swell, but suddenly the wave came and hit her. She was thrown far away inside the water. Now she was surrounded by the grey, tempest water. She started swimming upwards. She decided to get out of this terrain as soon as she was out of the water. She came above the surface successfully. Thankfully the rain had become gentler.
Adrianna started looking for land around or even a rock where she could get some respite from the turbulent sea, but there was none. She started swimming in the direction of the sky from where the sun was still rising. She must have swum for half an hour when she spotted a large rock with lush vegetation peeking out of the sea floor. She breathed a sigh of relief and swam faster. She had been trying to find some large whale as she communicated around in order to ride it but none was there.
She had to keep swimming. While she was nearing the island, she heard a voice from beneath the waters. It was like a shark calling its mate or perhaps a whale. She had known about their calls while studying with the humans. Sensing danger, she increased her pace to reach the rocky island.
While she was swimming there, she found a large number of small sea fish flipping, diving and jumping around her. She heard them, "Go away, go away!" They all seemed to be fleeing from there, from their habitat.
She stopped swimming and waited before making a decision. Suddenly she was knocked by a heavy force. She was thrown more than thirty feet away. She gasped as she landed inside the water once again and tried to look around to find the force that was so powerful to toss her, but she couldn\'t find anything. Once again she started swimming in the opposite direction. She hadn\'t even swum for five minutes that the thing knocked her again and she was thrown high in the air. This time Adrianna was extremely confused. What was happening beneath those waters? What was there that she couldn\'t see? She even had to find Lile but here she was getting tossed in and out of the water.
When Adrianna was crashing down in the water, she flipped and dived head on just in time. This time she quickly turned around and saw that a large creature was swimming towards her. She couldn\'t make out as to what was it from very far. Quickly, she dug her wand out and became still in water. The creature came nearer and she noticed that it looked like a blue colored dragon that had many fins flapping around it. The creature\'s two eyes were like large orbs of yellow lights. They were on both sides of its head. The way it was moving around her and flapping its fins, it made a lot of noise and motion in water. It was taking circles around it and she realized that the creature was trying to create a whirlpool. She was surprised that the dragon-like creature was so intelligent. She was all the more surprised when she started talking to it. It didn\'t talk back to her. Rather she could sense hostility.
The creature was swimming upside down and most of its body looked like a slug while the upper part was strong as a rock. It had silver back that was facing down.
The first thing that Adrianna did was to dive inside water before the whirlpool was created completely and then taking advantage of the fact that it was swimming upside down, she slid under it.
Suddenly there was a sting of ray that passed through its fins. Adrianna had converted her wand into a sharp knife and was about to pierce it in the creature that it started emitting those electric rays. Adrianna dived deeper in order to escape from its rays that were emitted in a criss cross manner. It seemed that the creature wanted to trap her and kill her using those strong electric rays.
Adrianna swam with her full force away from there to escape the current from those rays. Once she was away from it, she looked back, took her wand out, pointed at it and shouted, "Qindustrell!" Immediately the creature became still. Its fins that were emitting electricity were now hardly flapping. There was a minor movement in them and light blip passed through them.
"Ahhhh!" Adrianna heard Lile\'s traumatic voice. "I am trapped."
Adrianna was wide eyed. Trapped? She looked at the creature. She delved into its mind and was shocked beyond words. That was Lile! Adrianna was stunned that Lile could transform into that creature. But how could she? How could this happen? In the few seconds that she was wondering about it, the creature came back to moving fast making Adrianna\'s spell ineffective within seconds. Adrianna was all the more shocked. Was someone helping her from the outside? She was trying to read her mind when a faint image of someone familiar came. Was that Zephyr?
Not giving her much time to think, This time the creature flipped back on its stomach and jumped at Adrianna, but Adrianna escaped. She swam as fast as possible, this time she was in danger. The creature made one final attempt to kill her and took a huge leap. It crashed right on her.
Adrianna was pushed into deep waters.
Lile started flapping fins and generating electricity through them as though she was dancing. She writhed and twisted her body in a way that she was victorious. She had successfully killed Adrianna.
