Chapter 529 A Strange And Powerful Fish
-----
FLAAASH!
By imbuing my Mana and activating the effects of the Fishing Skill at Level 10, my fishing rod-hand gained a powerful, blue-colored aura that booted my strength even further beyond!
"GLUOOP!"
The fish's head resurfaced once more, suddenly glaring at me furiously, the lake started to shake, as countless of spiraling spears made out of lake water were fired at me at once!
"[Spiritual Barrier]!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
His attacks were absolutely nothing against my Spiritual Barrier, and as I kept pushing and it couldn't do anything, it slowly was dragged offshore. The fish struggled moving around, but after a while, it stopped moving.
BAAAM!
A huge blue colored fish with golden stripes landed over the shore of the lake, my friends were shocked when they saw that one huge thing… It was in fact larger than my own body size, around… three, no, four meters?
"Woah! This guy's huge!" Said Florie. "I want to catch something this big too!"
"Amazing… Is this the strongest fish in the lake?" Wondered Nieve.
"A-Ahahah, there's no way I just caught the strongest fish…" I laughed.
"Well, the Spirit Lake is home for many powerful and mystical fishes, it used to be even bigger back in the past, it has dried out a lot, but that could also mean that the bigger fishes have few places to hide now…" Titania smiled.
"Ooh, we could make it fried later!" Lily recommended.
"Yeah, I think we could!" I nodded.
Ding!
[You've caught the [Giant Golden-Stripped Regal Catfish: Lv54]!]
[You earned 5000 EXP]
Oh that's some nice EXP… I guess I'll be fishing a few more. The rarer they are, the more interesting it could be. Though, not all fish can just be cooked, right?
Maybe keeping an aquarium and catching them alive could be a thing… Wait, is it even possible? There's a "fish compendium" that registers every fish I catch, and there's hundreds of them everywhere.
"Well, let's resume this, I'm a bit bored anyways!" I giggled.
Like that, I spent the next hour fishing with my friends, catching all sorts of fishes, as I fished them, they kept getting weirder and more beautiful looking, and they were all huge behemoths!
Ding!
[You've caught the [Large Orange Pike: Lv47]!]
[You earned 4000 EXP]
Ding!
[You've caught the [Giant Pink Koi: Lv55]!]
[You earned 5000 EXP]

[You've caught the [Shadow Stalker Goldfish: Lv57]!]
[You earned 5000 EXP]

[You've caught the [Iridescent Lake Manta Ray: Lv52]!]
[You earned 5000 EXP]
Ding!
[You've caught the [Giant Black Spiked Shark: Lv58]!]
[You earned 5000 EXP]
"Phew… This one shark was sure the biggest of the bunch!" I sighed in relief, cleaning some of the sweat over my forehead. "How's everyone's fishing doing?" I looked at my friends, as they had their own buckets rather full.
"I can't catch any big one but I've caught tons of tiny ones…" Florie sighed. "Ahaha… Eh?! Oh! I've leveled up a lot out of it!" Said Florie in surprise.
"Me too." Nieve nodded. "This is my biggest one, looks like you've got a way to go before you can reach my level, Florie." Nieve showed a huge catfish of over two meters.
"Not fair!" Florie sighed. "And what about the queen- HUH?!"
Titania hasn't even been fishing at all, she caught one single fish, a beautiful, semi-transparent pink fish named "Angel Spirit Fish" and then sat down in a beach chair and started to bathe in the sunlight with some sunglasses, while eating ice cream.
"Oh? Ah, I have kind of forgotten about all of that…" Said Titania while giggling. "This ice cream and iced tea are really good…"
"That's not fair, Queen Titania!" Florie pouted. "And what about Lily- Huh? She's not fishing either!"
Lily was at the other side of the lake using her pickaxe to mine large and colorful elemental spirit crystals that had been growing around, she had completely forgotten about fishing.
"Hmm? Ah! Are you girls done? I was just mining some shiny jewels." Lily giggled.
"We're almost done, there's this one guy I am trying to catch first…" I said, trying to pull a huge fish that was pushing me down constantly.
SPLASH! SPLAAASH!
The water constantly shook, water splashing everywhere, a larger shadow than we had ever seen before resurfaced from the waters.
SPLAAAAAAASSHHH!!!
It was a giant golden koi fish, shining brightly. His scales were as if they were made of gold, and his enormous eyes blazed with orange and red color. It had a long tail with fins that resembled golden threads, and it exuded an aura of prowess… It was at least, over ten meters of height.
"W-What is that?!" Florie was shocked.
"A-A Giant Goldfish?!" Nieve asked.
"T-That fish…" Titania suddenly took off he sunglasses, glancing at the fish with her mouth wide open.
"Y-You're surely huge…" I sighed in disbelief. "But I am not giving up!"
"GLUOOOOP!"
SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!
The Golden Koi fish groaned furiously, suddenly opening its mouth, and unleashing a giant beam of pure light…
Wait, what?!
BOOOOOOMMM!!!
"GRRRHHH…!"
However, Silver appeared in front of me and protected me from the beam with his silver scales, which shone brightly, repelling the magical beam of light the Golden Koi unleashed.
"Silver…" I said. "Alright, you want to give me a hand? Just make sure to protect me from blows, I'll take care of the rest!"
"Roar!" Silver roared while nodding.
SPLAAAASH!
The Golden Koi didn't lost any second, swimming back into the lake and beginning to drag me into the lake with his enormous strength.
"I'm not… giving up!" I quickly inserted my foot into the shores and spread my roots deep down, anchoring myself in the ground and managing to resist the dragging strength.
"GLUOOP!"
SPLASH!
Suddenly, the Golden koi jumped off the water, emerging in midair momentarily, his blazing eyes glanced into my very soul, and then, several magic circles appeared around his body, shooting beams of light right before he descended into the lake's waters once more.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
