Chapter 699 - 116- Trinity – Traversing Purgatory Part 13 (VOLUME 4)



~~

Trinity

~~

The frozen blade of my enchanted sword shattered against the monster's head. Its armored scales were too powerful for the sword to penetrate at all. Not to mention the resulting vibrations from the sword's destruction rattled through me and almost made me fall off of the hall snake.

"MOMMY!"

"MOMMY!"

"MOMMY!"

"Queen Trinity!" The four people hiding out in my magic barrier were frantically calling for me as I tried desperately to catch myself. I managed, just barely, to stay on top of the hell snake, but I no longer had my sword with me.

I would be able to reconjure it, to bring it to me again, but it wouldn't work anyway, so why bother? No, I needed to think of something else. I needed to figure out what I was going to do. I needed to get out of the way before that snake's tail hit me and pierced through me with its long spikes.

Just as I sensed that the hell snake was about to hit me, I leapt into the air again. I did something that I hadn't done in a long time. I had created a wind platform for me to land on and perched myself in the air to watch the snake.

There was blood. The snake was bleeding. Only it wasn't bleeding from its head where its massive tail had just landed a blow that would have killed most creatures. No, this massive hell snake was bleeding from its tail.

The hell snake was rearing and thrashing about, definitely in pain. The blood from the snake's tail was showering the area around it as the tail flung all around. It was hard to see with all of the movement that the snake was making, but I believe that the snake had lost one of its spikes when it struck itself in the head.

There was a missing piece of the tail that was pink and red rather than green. And the blood seemed to be pouring from that spot.

Before I could even formulate a plan that would allow me to use that wound as a way to get to the beast's vulnerable body, the damn thing started to heal itself. Just like the fucking hellhound had done, the snake was closing its wound up. And I knew that the moment it did, it would attack again.

I needed to get us out of here while it was injured and distracted. I needed to get us all out of the way before that thing decided to come at me once again. And I knew just how I should get us out of here too. 

I pulled the rope of magic toward me, the one that was wrapped around the boys and Rudy. I pulled them into the air to where I was perched on my platform of wind. I hadn't expected this maneuver to get the reaction that it did.

While it was understandable for the boys to get scared because of their age, they had been falling through the skies with me every time that we went through a door. They were apparently getting used to the sensation of moving through the air and sky.

Rudy on the other hand, apparently didn't like heights. The moment that I started to pull him up into the air with me, he screamed. He literally screamed like a little girl that was terrified of a spider or something like that.

"NO! NO! NO! NO! QUEEN TRINITY! NO! NO! NO! NO! PLEASE STOP! PLEASE HELP ME! QUEEN TRINITY! AHHHHH!" He was almost nonstop with it until I had him standing on the platform next to me.

Actually, he was still screaming on the platform as well. He didn't stop until I slapped him in the face and called out to him.

"RUDY!" The moment that he felt the stinging slap, he hushed and looked at me. "You're fine. But we need to run, or we won't be fine for much longer." I spoke firmly and a little more sternly than I had planned to.

"Y..y..yes. You're right. I..I'm sorry, Queen Trinity." He hung his head as if he were embarrassed by what he had just done.

"It's fine, Rudy, but we need to go. Now." I pulled him to his feet and then pointed in the direction of the door. "I will make us a path, but you need to run. Run like your life depends on it, Rudy, because it does. We need to get to that door before that beast gets to us."

"Yes. I understand, Queen Trinity." He was nodding as he looked at the nonexistent path that I had yet to make for us.

"Don't worry, Rudy. The path will be there, just trust me and follow me." I picked up Zachary and held him in my arm. "Help me with the boys and follow me. That's all you need to do."

"I understand." I could still see the fear in his eyes as he nodded at me but there was nothing else for me to do. He took the other two boys and was ready to run. I think he thought that if I was going to have him hold my children while he ran, I would definitely make sure that the bridge was there.

"Let's go."

I took off running. The moment that I did, a glittering, barely there, green bridge appeared in front of me. I knew that Rudy would be able to see it as well, even if it wasn't fully solid at the moment.

The bridge didn't need to be solid though. It was firm enough to hold us and more if I needed it to. Not to mention, this was a magical bridge that had other magical properties. This bridge here was helping to move us forward as we ran. It was like running on a quickly moving sidewalk. It made me feel like I was moving at hyper speed again. Only, this time, I wasn't the only one that was going that fast.

With Zachary in my arms, I ran as hard and fast as I could. I heard that Rudy was right there behind me, not struggling nor was he out of breath. He was just running fast as he held the boys in his arms.

We hadn't taken more than a few dozen steps though, when I heard the snake start to follow us again. The thing's massive body was scraping across the ground, and I once again heard that scraping noise that had been in the tunnel. I didn't know what that sound was, but I truly hoped that I would never find out.

The hell snake screeched and I felt a disturbance in the magic behind me as it struck through the bridge. It was aiming for us, but thankfully we were already well ahead of it. We just needed to keep going, we needed to make sure that we got to the door before the snake.

And when we got there, I needed to make sure that Alexio didn't try to stop us from going through. I didn't know what I was going to do if he blocked the door, and the snake came up on me from behind.. Yeah, that just wasn't a good train of thought.
