She dove into the haze, the world going quiet as her powerful jaws snapped into and shredded apart a sizable chunk of air. Now on all fours, the Leviathan roared in rage—although, due to the mist, nobody would hear the terrifying warcry. She lunged blindly forward, jaw snapping, claws slashing, as she emerged from the mist to see Claudette had been pushed to safety by Grace. It seemed the false queen had her own loyalist. Fine then, she’d lose her fucking head too. Spittle flying as she bellowed, the Leviathan rushed forward to make an example out of Grace and to show the rest of the stupid ass primates how quickly she could decapitate someone. Not a damn thing could stop her. With the exception of Deus Motherfucking Ex Machina. Divine intervention swept in to protect Grace’s pretty little neck as the Leviathan barrelled into a wall of lightning. Her whole body spasmed and convulsed as she was electrocuted, a haunting scream ripping from the pit of the Leviathan’s soul as she crumpled to the ground. For a moment, the Leviathan was still; her eyes closed. Was it dead? No. It had only taken a brief journey to the afterlife to kick Zeus’s little bitch ass for daring to meddle in her affairs. The Leviathan’s eyes opened. It was enough to send the primates running. They were smarter than she had given them credit, although that still made them utter idiots. An unending snarl rumbled from the Leviathan as the rain from her storm began to fall harder. The field was more mud than anything now, and the Leviathan struggled as it clawed its way back up to an upright position. Laying in the dirt was unfitting of a queen, even if she was the ruler of these fucking garbage bastards. Claudette was running, but the old gods wouldn’t protect her now. The Leviathan bolted forward with all of the speed of a drunken toddler wearing ankle weights and got about just as far as one before she was stopped. Something had a strong hold on her tail while something else was wrapping around her legs. She looked down. Roots? Even the Earth Goddess was against her. No. A pale imitation. Another goddamn pretender. She would make them all kneel. In one swift motion the Leviathan swiped downward and cut through the binds with ease, her claws shredding through the roots with more power than chainsaw. She did not stop there. Seeing Madison and still feeling her on her tail, her claw swipe followed through as she stepped in towards Madison and wrapped her tail around her waist. If Madison held on and her armor didn’t protect her then the stupid asshole would have her guts ripped out. Alternatively, if she let go to dodge then the Leviathan’s was ready to whip around the other way and smash her with a powerful tail bash that would definitely be felt through the armor. Either way, one thing was certain: the Leviathan was going to destroy Madison.
