The Arks 155 The Ark Of Primordial Beasts: Tiama

"A Womb Cast Aside. The Symbol of Chaos. She glistens amongst her children. The Mother Of Creation. A powerhouse of havoc. The Peaceful Creator of the Cosmos. She is good, yet she yearns for pandemonium. She hates humanity, but is proud of being their Mother."

"If humans want advancements in their life, they have to overcome the Orginal Woman," replied Raiyen, softly.

Raiyen shook his head he tried to find the reason behind the Headmaster's powers. Why must he have the power to call upon Primordial Beasts?!

"Of all the Primordial Beasts, why her?! And just my luck, I've got to fight this thing alone," said Raiyen as he witnessed the Umbra gaining power.

The area shook as the Umbra completed the second part of the spell. Raiyen clenched his fists. He had seen this spell before, but it was one of those things Time Ripper is unable to conjure up for him.

"Door Of The Salt Sea G.o.ddess; Tiamat!" yelled the Umbra.

The moment her name was uttered, the Umbra's surroundings were immediately drenched as waves exploded outwards from it. As the water level increased and further spread out, black mud soon followed after.

The Umbra turned into a giant. It was still holding onto Gillian's facial appearance but its body was far from different. Its hair was now long, colored with the sea. Its body was that of a woman's, with two huge, blue, reptilian, wings.

"If I ever had to picture Gillian with a girl's body, this would not make the final cut," complained Raiyen as he looked at the atrocity.

The thing finally caught sight of Raiyen and opened its eyes. It revealed two huge orbs with bright red flowers in the middle of them. Slowly but surely, the thing started to open its mouth as well. And it started singing.

Not words, but similar to an opera's singing. Just a very high-pitched sound emitting from that giant hole. Both Elemental Energy and Aura rose whenever it opened its mouth to sing. As Raiyen approached it, the soundwaves repelled the boy, effectively tossing him off-balance.

Raiyen landed on one of the damaged trees and looked at his opponent. As it continued to grow in size, a couple of purple sea serpents shot out from its back. One was heading to the fallen Valkyrie and the rest of the Kings.

"d.a.m.n it," cursed Raiyen as he failed to stop that serpent.

But Raiyen halted in his tracks as he felt a familiar presence near his Valkyrie. He reached out and a snowflake had found its way to him. He then gave a proud smile, eyes gleaming with hope once more.

"I never thought I would be so happy to feel the cold. Protect her, Peanut," whispered Raiyen as he directed his attention back to the Primordial Beast of the Salt Sea.

"I highly doubt that Umbra is still in control of that ma.s.sive flesh," said Raiyen, looking at the way that the Umbra had moved.

The Umbra, unable to converse anymore, gazed at its surroundings. The way that the Beast scanned the area was odd as if it was trying to find a single target. Not only that, Raiyen had himself plain as day. Yet, the thing could not target the Time Mage properly.

The 'water' that it was emitting had destroyed most of the forest area as well as the outskirts of the town. Thank goodness it had ceased its advancement. No matter how many shots Raiyen took, there was no way of harming the Mother of Creation.

So long as she was in the world that lives, Tiamat could never fall.

"So this is what it feels like to have no hope in victory, eh? It sucks," complained Raiyen as he continued to look at the giant.

"I'll just have to try this then. Holy Trinity..." murmured Raiyen, as he aimed his fist right at Tiamat.

"Time! Electric! Nature! These are the elements I wield, I command. Come forth, bind yourselves and become one. Voltaic Creation Era!" he shouted.

Summoning the Elements, a torrent of light emerged and hurled down to Tiamat's head. That did not even reach Tiamat, let alone harbor any damage towards her. He then tilted his head up to look at the skies. Finally, it had given the poor Mage some clouds to play with.

"I sincerely loathe and love my Nature Element," mumbled the Time Mage as he shot his arm up.

With his palm opened up, the clouds within the sky started to converge in his area.
