Chapter 121 - Whispering Death

As the two rushed to collide, one demon and one Irunmole, a messenger of light as they were often called, the ground reverberated.

The heavy slamming of the Demon's massive three toed legs on the ground shook he earth massively so much that miniature shockwaves erupted at the moment each feet leapt the ground.

In the same moment, the body of the demon began to exude a greenish aura that seemed to grow with ach passing second as it neared to Niniola. The aura was suffocating, almost as if someone took out the air in the atmosphere and filled it with toxic gas. That aside, it was deadly, having with it a foreboding of death and sickness and ill-intent.

Niniola grimaced at the aura burst out from the demon. She was not surprised at it either being that she had stayed in Orun Apaadi for a long time and thus she was quite familiar with the foul aura the demons exuded. 

The other demons she had fought did not have this level of oppressing aura and that was because they were not as power packed as the one she was rushing in. With a scowl and huff, she steadied her feet on the ground. She balanced herself so as not to get knocked over by the echoing thuds of the Demon's feet on the ground as she closed in. 

With only a few meters before them, Niniola channels energy into her legs and then with a burst, she kicks herself into the air. Arcing through the air, she weaved her hands in readiness for the technique she had in mind. 

"SONIC BLAAAAAAAAARRRRRRREEERERRRRR!" 

"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!" 

A ripple of sonic shockwave suddenly erupted from the wide open mouth on the front. It slammed into air, rocking her over and then eh a boom, slammed her into the ground as the demon readjusted the aim of it's mouth.

She crashed down to the ground, rolling over to minimise impact. Frowning, she quickly got to her feet and started to charge.

"Me not done!" The demon cried out, wagging its arms in the air. It bent over, presenting the back of it with the numerous slashing tentacles on it.

Just then, the tentacles extended, bursting out like a wave of the sea for Niniola just as she came close.

Seeing this, she halted her steeps, f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y.. As a result, she stumbled, almost losing her footing as she quickly used her hands to stabilize herself.

"Damnit!" She grunted, jerking her left hand to slam down into the ground with a white circle suddenly appearing before it.

Light blazed around her in a circle, brilliant and shimmering as the tentacles that reached to her got sliced and charred by the light.

"Aaaghhh!" The demon cried out, lifting its upper body up to show it's head. 

"SOONNNIIC BLAAAAAAAAARRREEEEE."

"not this time!" Niniola huffed as she jumped to her feet, sprinting back.

The Demon's aim arced towards the ground and with that, a bustty of earth and debris exploded into the air as a shockwave of dirt bursted out, knocking down Ninola as she was running.

Quickly, the female Irunmole used her hands to stabilize herself from knocking down into the ground, head first. Still, that was not enough to prevent her fall as she landed on her fours instead with. soft thud and a grunt.

However, the demon was far from being done with her.

It chuckled sinisterly at this, clasping it's massive palms and weaving its fingers through the other as it chanted.

"Whispering Death!" It cried out, a barrage of green luminous light points suddenly popping into the air before it and with a whoosh of air, they all soared forward.

In a split second, all the particles of light reached Niniola. They began to curve, circling around her head and body, each one rotating to the front of her and hovering in front of her face before getting shuffled again. 

"Aaaaghhhh!" Niniola huffed, shutting her eyes tight as she tried to rise to her feet.

The whispering Death technique was dependent on the Law of Envy and derived it's power from being able to manipulate people into accepting that everything they did was out of Envy and with each acceptance, the person was closer to death than before.

The only way for Ninola to get out of it was for her to leave the range of the light particles. However, being that it had reached her while on the ground, even that was a difficulty as she staggered about.

'Tell me, you are only doing this because you always envy him' A whisper spoke into her mind.

"No... I don't!" 

'Oh, why are you here? You envy her that's why you had to push away from her.'

'Of course, you were scared of her taking Sunday from you.'

"I...I..." Niniola frowned, her eyes still shut as she swayed and staggered from left to right in circles.

'Yes, yes, you are guilty. You've always been envious.'

'Everyone... Envious of those in meeting with the Orisha Aganju.'

"Yes... No, I mean, No..." Niniola stammered as she stumbled back on her fours.

'Never mind, You've admitted already.' Another whisper echoed to her.

'Now face your death.' 

The lights began to hum as they spread apart from Niniola for a brief moment.

And in the next, the humming died as they slammed back into her body, each one tearing out from the opposite direction and from every part of her body, with each tear, energy gushing out of it.

"Aaagaaaaaaaarghhhhhhh!" Niniola roared as arched her back, still on her knees with a face of pure agony.

Her eyes popped open and her mouth hung loose just as a burst of Agbara, her life essence gushed out of the openings in her face.

Her eyes, nose and mouth erupting life essence as the light particles swarmed for her and then slammed into her body, this time, staying in it.

"Me, give you whispering Death. Me know you not strong! Hahahaha... Me eat all of you." The demon roared up in triumph his hands stretched wide into the air just as the tentacles at his back began to extend, drilling into the ground behind him.
