This time the monster attacked from another direction, it attacked from in front of him.
Cades was looking around frantically, surveying the entire zone but the monster was still capable of surprising him with the same old trick, but this time Cades didn't evade, instead he twirled around in the air once more and violently pushed the gigantic wyrms buddy into the lake once he saw even the slightest movements in the corner of his eyes while he was quickly twirling around himself.
The impact of his quick and decisive crushing attack caused waves to resound throughout the entire Region, consequently causing the already stormy miniature lake to become much more chaotic than it had already been.
Cades quickly flew down to continue maltreating the monster but at that moment a astonishingly deep voice resounded.
"How dare you, insolent avian child."
As the unknown voice resounded everything went quiet, the stormy lake went crystal-like and serene once more, the already quiet, luscious forest went even more quiet, so much so that there was nothing but nothing, no live, no existence, nothing but nothing.
Cades was confused by the incredibly deep and seemingly wise voice at first, looking around everywhere to find the source but quickly realizing that it didn't come from anywhere but finally realizing that the voice came from nowhere, and the only being powerful enough to do this that was anywhere near here was the demon of the sea.
The mighty snake had already escaped his grasp and was now hovering in front of him the gigantic head with its beautiful, clear, light blue eyes staring into the depths of his soul, the wounds healing at a pace almost as quick as those of a trolls.
The lacerations were almost instantly stopping their bleeding, as if beings sewed together by the hand of a ghost, and the dents in the shape of the elegant skull where being smoothed out from the inside by what seemed to be an invincible surgeon of the same ghostly hands.
But, uncaring or simply just in a shocked stat, Cades responded in an exaggerated and slightly broken, weirdly high voice.
"What the #### are you ?!"
The huge body of the wyrm rose even higher than it had been before, its sky-clear eyes looking down at Cades as if it was showing its own beautiful, prideful being and demonstrating its own power.
"I am Nyeupe, the great frozen wyrm of ancient times, snake that devoured the amanta kingdom, demon of the sea.
I have been alive for centuries and have been living in this very lake since before this empire appeared and the religion of rescue and safety appeared on this planet.
Why have you appeared here, and how dare you tread on this place ?"
With every word uttered by the mighty monster the entire place shook and more and more pressure was exerted on Cades who already felt as if his body was ebing pressed into the ground by the snakes whole weight, not that that was particularly hard for Cades to resist, at elast as long as it was only mental pressure.
Mentally he was weak, he could be broken in that way easily, he was fragile and on the verge of breaking, he didn't know any of that, but that very fact also strengthened his psyche against pressure and many other kinds of mental attacks as his mind was simply not healthy enough to register the complex attacks afflicting simple pressure, he was simply ignoring it without trying to ignore it, to explain it as simply as possible.
Cades own thoughts, however, were racing as he was thinking of countless possibilities as to why there was a living, sentient being inside of this random lake and as to why that very being attacked him without any warning.
His only real idea was that the ancient being perceived him as a threat, which he was, he swore to himself that he would kill the being and just the fact that the arrogant being was capable of talking didn't change anything, he would just kill them.
At that moment the deep, resonating voice began resounding once more.
"Why are you just standing there ?
You are but merely making a fool of yourself !
Why have you tried attacking me ?
Why have you challenged me ?"
Cades was shocked by the constant accusations coming from the ancient, haughty, shining white snake but still, after collecting himself once more, he began talking once more and said what was on his, practically broken, mind with the very same broken, high voice that he had previously used.
As he was trying to answer he could already see how the snake was becoming less and less patient, awaiting an answer but gaining anger at even the incredibly short time wasted by the thinking of Cades mind, an pitiful thing for an ancient being, such as itself, to get angry over.
"I am... the demon of the unknown"
The humongous, slithering body was still, obviously growing more and more impatient as the ancient monster heard the answer, in a language that it could barely decipher.
It could understand the voice of the mind, but this small avians mind was... broken and rambling in incoherent sentences and broken, far too high-pitched voices as it was staring at its own, beautiful, perfect body.
But it did understand one thing, Nyeupe had once before heard that name, it had heard it a few months ago, it had been killing passing hunters and one of them screamed at him, asking about the demon of the unknown.
Cades had introduced himself as the unknown demon because this world hopefully didn't know his actual name, unless Mangel had told everyone about it, but the demon of the sea was still growing more and more discontent, its elegant, wise snake-like face grimacing into something that more so resembled a ancient dragons face, fitting as this was a wyrm, a subspecies of a dragon after all.
"This doesn't explain anything you absolute buffoon !
But well, so be it, I have been here waiting for the destined one for forever, fighting against hundreds of supposed heroes, you are just like them, little avian, I will rip you into pieces, wait for the destined king."
As it finally finished talking it quickly sprung towards Cades, with its mouth ripped wide apart and its body growing at an incredibly pace.
