Ceres POV
As soon as we found the cocoon of the parasite, I ask for Zael to stand aside and be careful while I think of a way to detached it from it's hold. I take out my blade from my subspace and slice through the black vines that was attached around, but as soon as I slice through it attached itself again, regenerating fast. I also notice that those vines are not just simple vines it's sucking something from Zael, maybe something that helps it to recover.
Maybe as long as the parasite was inside the cocoon it the vines will continue to attached itself no matter how many times I slice. I go near the cocoon and I saw something appear around it, a red miasma and it's spreading. One thing comes to my mind why it's happening, maybe it's a sign that it is recovering. And I need to stop it before it's fully recovered.
I saw Zael was also getting affected by the Miasma. I casted to her the protection spell that uncle taught me, I know it's not as powerful as the one that uncle can cast but I know it can help at least.
I don't know if summoning my golem can work inside here, but I still tried it and it still worked. I ordered the golems to continue slicing through the vines and not stop until I gotten the parasite out the cocoon.
They followed my command and continue slicing each vines. While they were working on it, work on the casing protecting the parasite. Its hard and thick that my sword can't slice through it I let go of my sword and thought of touching it, to feel it and I notice that when it's touch it's not as durable and it's like hard gel only.
I work my way through it until I get my hands to the parasite. Once I touch it something happen, It spikes like legs starts burrowing through my hands and it's hurts a lot.
I am starting to lose consciousness and losing my grip of myself, the parasite must have transferring it's control from Zael to me. I notice the golems stopping it's attacks to the vines and switch it focus to Zael. The golems started walking slowly towards to Zael.
I saw the frightened little girl I saw the moment I step foot on here and the thing she shouted at me wake me up from the control.
"You promised to save me right, you promised not to hurt me, so get a hold of yourself, or I am going to eat you for real" -Zael.
The moment I hear her scream, my taming ability wakens up that also taken me out from the parasite grip, I hold it from it's head and forcefully remove from it's attachment to me. It screech so loud that it hurts my ear. I feel that it's also getting hotter, maybe a sign that any minute now it will explode. The cocoon also starting to decompose without the parasite inside it.
I look at Zael and walk towards her. I patted her head and smile at her.
"It's over now Zael, it will not hurt you anymore, I need to leave now to deal with this thing, see you later okay"-Ceres.
"Okay, see you later Ceres"-Zael.
The moment I was out, it was not just me, the parasite was also out and I was holding it on my hand just like inside the consciousness. I call out for Uncle and he immediately started on another spell.
(Back on Demetri's POV)
I hope Zael is okay. I say to myself as I watch him from afar. I also watch his status and at some point I saw his life force declining same to his grip on his hold of his consciousness and I know something is wrong. I was about to do something when Kaya stop me and to trust in Ceres that he can do it.
I did what Kaya said and saw that Ceres is now improving and later on I heard someone scream for my name and I saw it's ceres.
"UNCLE! WHAT NOW?"-Ceres.
I saw in his hand the parasite and by the looks of it, it will explode anytime now. I stop casting the absolute zero and started working on the void. The void is like a mini black hole so I keep it as small as possible that only the parasite can fit through.
"CERES, COME DOWN HERE NOW BEFORE THAT THING EXPLODE, AND THROW IT ON THIS HOLE HERE!"-Demetri.
He did what I told him to do quickly and throw the parasite inside the void. I close it quick but not before it exploded but it's range is not as wide and only a small range around us. The damage is also curable by the Miracle potion that I also give to Ceres.
"Is it over? Did you save Zael?"-Demetri.
"Yes, oh right I need to get Zael, be right back"-Ceres.
Ceres gallop back to the carcass of the Leviathan. While I teleported back the island to it's place. Kaya also get to where I am. The moment the island return, Daya run towards to where I am and hug both Kaya and I.
"I am glad the two of you are okay, so is it over?"-Daya.
It's not just Daya who is waiting for the answer but everybody on the island. I smiled at her and give her the good news.
"Yes it is over! We defeated the Leviathan!"-Demetri.
I shouted and everybody celebrated their joy of victory. Some even cried, hugged their comrades and lay themselves on the ground because of exhaustion.
Chairman and the others approach me as well and ask how I am doing. I reassure them that I am okay and I will recover in no time. I saw Evienne that she was still recovering in the Chairman's arms. I pet her and ask Kaya to casted heal on her for her to recover faster.
"I'm back Uncle"-Ceres
Ceres said the moment he came back. I saw him holding a little girl in his back and he help her get down safely. He return to his human form and the girl quickly hold his hand and hide in his back.
"It's okay Zael, they are good people, they will not hurt you, I promise"-Ceres.
"Zael? what a minute, was that the name of the Leviathan?"-Joel.
"Yes, it is, everyone this is Zael, the Leviathan"-Demetri.
Everybody shouted their surprise at us the moment they learned that the little kid was the Leviathan.
"No way"-Jack
"I can't believe this"-Alice
"That giant thing back there was this little kid"-Matthew
"If it's not Demetri saying this I will not believe it"-Vincent
"Everybody, I would like for all of you to keep this a secret, and for the Leviathan to remain dead, as everybody knows, as you can see she's just a little kid that was trick by the darkness fragment"-Demetri.
"We understand Demetri, we will keep this secret..."-Chairman David.
Chairman David didn't get to continue what he was about to say because Zael speak out of nowhere.
"Is that my mother you are holding?"-Zael.
"Yes, she was exhausted that's why I am keeping her safe"-Chairman David.
"Give her to me, I don't trust you"-Zael.
"I think it's better for you to rest too Zael, I know you need it too"-Chairman David.
A terrifying aura started spilling out from Zael, she was angry. She was about to attack when Cres patted her head and talk to her.
"Uncle David was right Zael, you needed to rest, and you can trust him, see how comfortable your mother is on him, you want for your mother to remain comfortable right while she is recovering"-Ceres.
"Yes, okay, I trust you Ceres, and I trust you too old man, keep my mother comfortable or else"-Zael.
"You can trust me little one, your mother is very important to me"-Chairman David.
Zael just look at him then switched her attention back to Zael, reaching out her arms telling Ceres to carry her. Ceres carried her and Zael doze off to sleep. That girl must be really tired.
"So, what now?"-Raphael.
"It's cleaning time, the Leviathan will be divided to all countries participated, same with the loot inside the those gates, but we are not sure yet how safe inside it"-Chairman David.
"How about I, Daya and Kaya check it first before anyone goes inside"-Demetri.
"Okay, but be careful and call for help okay if you needed"-Chairman David.
"Okay"-Demetri.
