Leviathan's Breath Catalyst Novels & Stories

He stood and stalked back toward the downed chimera, panting for breath. He stood over it, took a deep breath, and, well… he roared at it. It was a roar of victory, a howl of defiance and triumph. He damn near matched the volume of the kaiphyn itself for several seconds and the surrounding air seemed to ripple. Then he fell silent again, took a couple of steps back, and dropped to one knee. “Nice shooting, Elissa,” he said, then rolled onto his back and looked up at the sky. They’d done it.

The deity's aqua eyes widened as the ball made out of his own flames hit him in the chest with a deep, loud THUD. I shifted back into my human form and the vines immediately released their hold as Leviathian wheezed and struggled to catch the breath that was knocked out of him. I cupped my right hand and waved it towards me a couple of times, bringing water from nearby to put out what flames didn't dissipate on impact. Leviathan let out a few good coughs as he stood up and knocked the dirt off of his pants. "No shit. A True Born elemental, huh? You know that could have gone worse for you, right?"

It unhinged a jaw lined with teeth the size of skyscrapers, lunging not at Kael, but directly at Harper. "Elias, now!" Harper roared. Captain Vance didn't hesitate. He pushed his Vanguard mech to 120% thrust, intercepting the Leviathan’s blind spot. He extended a heavy Zero-Point railgun from his mech's shoulder, burying the barrel directly against the beast's glowing yellow eye. "Eat plasma, you overgrown sushi!" Elias yelled, pulling the trigger. BOOM! The underwater explosion created a massive cavitation bubble. The Leviathan shrieked, a psychic sound that nearly shattered the rookies' neural links, and violently thrashed its mile-long tail, sending Elias tumbling backward into the dark.

Ming He’s eyes brightened when he heard Chu Feng’s words. Leviathan, a beast of legends whose blood could heal any and all injuries. No matter the disorder or disease, the blood of the Leviathan would be enough. It could be cancer, an incurable kidney disease, or chronic ischaemic heart disease, the blood of the Leviathan could heal all! It was a beast that had not been seen since the ancient times, and neither Ming He nor Chu Feng believed that it was a beast that actually existed. It seemed too absurd to be true.

Not splashing. Not spilling. Moving. Slowly. Deliberately. Like something alive. My breath catches sharply in my throat as the thin streak of dried crimson begins to lift from the stone surface, peeling upward in a smooth ribbon that coils through the air like silk caught in an invisible current. “What..” I whisper. Leviath does not look at the blood. He looks at me. “This,” he says calmly, “is Blood Dominion.” The ribbon of blood twists gently between his fingers, suspended effortlessly, responding to the smallest flick of his wrist as though it obeys instinct rather than command.

The single, pupil-less eye—a pale, milky orb the size of a cathedral, surrounded by miles of rotting, barnacle-encrusted flesh—stared at the tiny metal teardrop invading its domain. "It's not just a sea monster," Caleb rumbled, his voice cold and metallic through the rebreather. "It's a parasite. Look at the flesh around the eye." Through the thermal and spiritual scanners, the truth became horrifyingly clear. The Leviathan wasn't swimming. It was attached to the seafloor, its massive, fleshy tendrils burrowed deep into a sprawling, glowing network of ancient white jade ruins buried beneath the mud. It was feeding on the ambient Qi of the Dragon's Cradle.

I raised my head to answer, but what I saw left me breathless. ‎Leviathan casually stepped out of the bathtub in nothing, but his birthday suit. His crown jew on full display. ‎###################### ‎

Breath" can give birth to such wonderful effects." Ivor took out a filthy book from his backpack and handed it to Lucinda. "You can imagine though that the "Breath" of Heaven and Earth will never follow the instructions of a cultivator, it barely allows some of them to hear its language after all. That's why, if you want to use the Elemental forging method, you need to steal the "Breath" from Heaven and Earth." Ivor pointed at the book and Lucinda carefully opened it. She was so engrossed by the speech that she totally disregarded the poor state of its pages.

I turned around and went in another direction, hoping to find a better exit. "Hey! Wait up. We need to talk." Leviathan's voice called from behind me, almost pleading with me to wait. "That's got to be the most annoying thing about you!" "What is?" "The fact that you act like everyone owes you something. Or maybe it's just the sound of your voice. Have you tried not breathing?" Leviathan's dragon sped ahead of my serpent, making sure I came to a stop before he shifted into his human form. "Nice try. But I'm not leaving until you talk to me."

“You're wrong. What I've told you up till now is just plain history that is taught in every school and orphanage and nothing more. The homework you speak of is how to kill you in the fastest way possible, how to win against you and your weak points.” “M hmm... and what is the weak point of Leviathan?” “The stone in the middle of his forehead and his sigils just like yours. You seven have two weaknesses alike but if someone wants to kill him, they will have to make sure that there isn't any water around, or felines of any kind and that there is planted some stones that block the element of electricity.” “It seems like you really are a smart ass, aren't you know?” “Of course I'm smart!
