Chapter 44 Summons And Pets (2)
?The ship looked as though it was just a step sinking to the bottom of the ocean, and yet someone still decided to put a hole through it.
What the hell is Knight Camille up to?
Don't tell me she had gone to pick up another fight!
Sigh!!!
Knowing her, I would be a fool to think that she didn't have a hand in what was happening now.
But still, how do I get back to my ship?
"ROAARRR!!"
"I know that you are tired, but, it seems that I will still be needing your help" I said as I patted the fur of Toothless.
She had spent two days swimming at her fastest speed just to get me here and only decided to rest for a few minutes in between.
There was even a time that I had to wait inside her mouth while resting on top of her squishy slimy tongue just so she could travel faster beneath the water.
And now that we were here, it must be tiring to see that the ship she had been tracking was been held up high by some type of water giant conjured by magic.
"Hey, Bones! I will be needing your help too"
A small compressed vortex formed near me, and with its appearance, Bones landed on the soft fur of Toothless.
During these past few days, I have been learning how to control the 'Temporary space storage' at will. And although I wasn't able to transport myself in yet, as every trial ended with me experiencing a severe headache and body pain, that didn't mean that I could put Bones in and out easily.
Toothless also wanted to see what the 'Temporary space storage' looked like, but I would only put her in there after we were done getting back my ship and I wasn't on her back any longer.
Of course, I would be foolish if I didn't take her size into account and instead experimented with such a thing while I was barely a few inches from being stranded on the ocean if things went south.
My thoughts spiralled out of control as I looked at the water giant that would put goliath in shame due to its sheer size, thinking of a way to somehow eliminate such a threat.
Haaa!!! Well, the more I stayed and do nothing but think, the closer I am to losing my ship.
I pinched my nose and closed my eyes to think clearly.
"Rooaarr!!"
"Are you sure?"
"Rooaarrr!!"
"Okay, I get it. You know, I have always wanted to see a match-up between Godzilla and Moby dick. But still if anything goes wrong, you might still end up as a goliath-sized sushi".
"ROOOAARRR!!"
"Alright, If you say so then".
Looking at the water giant, I could reckon that it was only over 125 to 130 feet tall, which when compared to Toothless was over 35 meters long or 115 feet tall if you decide to hold her upside down vertically.
And even though she was still dwarfed by a few meters, that didn't change the fact that this was still going to be a battle between giants.
"Let's go" I said as I channelled my magical energy through my body.
These past few days had enabled gain a better understanding of the other elemental side of my abilities.
I was still somewhat of a rookie but compared to before, I was a hundred times better.
My skin turned bright with a hint of blue as droplets of water fell from my body and clothes.
Compared to when I was covered with flames that were capable of turning an average man to cinders, right now, I was covered in a bright soft bluish glow with water encircling me like a second skin.
Looking down, I could see that Bones and Toothless were also experiencing the same thing. Even after trying for several hours of training in a day, I still couldn't find a way to make it so they wouldn't be affected when I use my abilities.
Sure, I got wasn't as strained as before when using my abilities, because somehow, I have gotten stronger when I made Toothless my tamed beast.
And also I didn't particularly feel drained because Toothless was stabilizing and maintaining this form with her magical energy and would only lose the form when I switch it off myself.
In short, any beast I have now or acquire in the future can use my abilities to the fullest and maintain them with their magical energy without it affecting me in the process.
Unless of course, they were like Bones who was currently sucking my mana with a paper straw.
"WHOOOSSSH!! SPLAAASSHH!!!"
The winds were violent. Our movement caused to water to part ways as the ripples formed in our wake gradually turned into waves.
It was one thing for me to suicide dive into the belly of a Tiger whale!
Which I would agree was a stupid action that I didn't regret taking.
But also, it was another to charge straight towards the direction of what looked like a gigantic water-carved goliath.
Well, it still looked like suicide when one could barely see its face clearly from down below. But the difference this time was that I wasn't alone!
This time I had an equally man-eating colossus whale backing me with a…..rat.
Bones was more like the mascot of the team. I hope he doesn't get upset when I tell him that.
Both of them glowed with the same bright soft bluish glow with beads of water that formed what seemed to be a second skin on their bodies.
"PING!!!" "BOOOMM!!!!"
Waves of sound waves that were visible to the naked eye, came out of Toothless body and headed straight to the humanoid giant.
No! I didn't know that she could do that with echolocation.
The least I have seen her do was navigate around the ocean with it.
Nevertheless, a smile graced my lips as I watched the water-carved humanoid giant stagger the instant the waves hit her legs, cutting them off like a scorched knife through butter.
I may have had my doubts before, but it seems that Toothless might be stronger than I thought she was.
"BANG!!"
Grabbing hold of her fur for my dear life, I watched as I Toothless, collided with the woman's legs, sending the water back into the ocean as she got down to one knee while looking around for the culprit.
How blind can you be to not notice a 115-meter-long whale right under you is what I would have said if I wasn't going against a water-like construct while breathing under the ocean with a rat while we waited for our next chance to strike.
Knight Camille!!!
Even after plotting my death and sending my ship to ruin, you still had the guts to drive it into a fight that would require David to get a bigger slingshot.
I couldn't wait but serve her my revenge that has marinated through the past two days.
As the saying goes, 'Revenge is sweet. But revenge served cold is sweeter'.
….....
Even when Mother Andiara had fought against Captain Jack - A rogue Pirate unbound by the rules of the Pirate code, she didn't falter as she took his attacks head-on.
But now she could only watch as her legs were shattered by a visible wave of sonic attack.
What the hell was going on?
Are we under attack?
I climbed onto the edge of the ship while tightly clutching a handle beside me for support as I gazed at the direction in which the sonic attack had come from.
Squinting my eyes at the object or creature that made the ocean ripple with waves around it, I tried to make sense of what it was still far away.
However, I got a clearer picture of it the more it got closer.
Hurriedly taking the telescope out of my robe, I stretched it and placed it on my eye to make a good sense of what I was looking at and better understand what had attacked Mother Andiara.
And what I saw was…
A man…
And a rat….. Standing on a fully grown Tiger whale. All of them had the same weird bluish glow on their bodies that covered their bodies like a second skin.
Water magic!!
All of them, even the Tiger Whale were using some kind of water technique.
Setting the telescope back on the man, I wanted to know who he was and if this was his doing. After all, it is already popularly known that a Tiger Whale can't use water magic, and neither is a common rat capable of such a feat.
That only narrowed down my options to only one answer.
This was all his doing!!
It was already clear to her that the man was a 'Beast tamer', yet for one to have the ability to somehow tame a Tiger Whale.
You have to be freaking kidding me!!
