157 Chapter 157
As Lein was having a hard time dealing with the sea king fish, Acht was following them behind. He had dived deeper into the water to be able to have a full look at the monster's body without having to get closer to it.
However, no matter how much he tried to find something weird about it, he wasn't able to see anything worthy of note.
That made him feel very pressured as the time was running and he had a few more moments before the monster killed Lein and then targeted him.
'Come on! It gotta be there!' he thought to himself with an extremely serious look.
He had already seen every part of the monster's body except one part…the top.
It was the last part he thought of checking because not only was it the riskiest one to check but also because it also needed him to be awfully close to the monster to see.
So, with a click of his tongue, he swam back up and flew into the sky. Water droplets kept trickling down his body as he heaved up and down from exhaustion. But, there was no time to relax. He had to end this quickly.
After reaching the monster from above, he gazed at the upper part of its body and tried to find any anomaly.
That's when he saw it, something he was searching for. On its right upper part, there was a tusk-like object that pierced its skin and reached deeper into its body.
There was also a huge amount of blood flowing out of it like an endless torrent. Acht felt happy that he found it but there was still an important thing he needed to do.
'I must get it out.'
So, without hesitation, he flew down and stepped on the monster's body. The speed at which the sea king fish was moving made it even harder for him to keep his balance.
But, he secured his feet on it and approached the huge tusk that was at least 5 times as big as him. It was so huge that he didn't even know how to go about getting it out.
But, he had no time to think about it. So, he immediately touched it and applied gravity manipulation to it to reduce as much weight as he could.
Then, he made a pointy sign with his hand before jabbing at the tusk, piercing it, and digging deep into it with his fingers.
He did the same with his other hand and immediately started pulling up with all of his strength.
Blood started oozing even more intensely and the monster felt a sharp pain coming from its back.
"RAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" It made a loud shrill of pain as it stopped chasing Lein and started shaking violently as it tried to get rid of the pain.
"Ugh!!!" Acht grunted loudly.
A huge pulling force was trying to throw him away from there. He felt his fingers grow numb and his arms became tired almost immediately trying to keep him fixed there while also working on getting the tusk out.
"Come on!!" He urged the tusk out trying to use every possible ounce of strength he had left in his body.
However, the tusk was still not moving at a fast speed.
The monster then did something that made Acht's face pale considerably.
It stopped shaking and started descending back into the water. Acht knew that this wasn't good at all as underwater this monster had the best advantage.
But, there was no turning back at this point, he either get the tusk out or die trying.
It was his last bet and he hoped it would work.
A few moments later, he was submerged again underwater and they were still descending. The pressure kept rising as the monster moved at an incredibly fast speed in a chaotic motion. It was doing everything to get whatever was hurting it away.
Acht was already at his limit and there were only a few more pulls before the tusk was out.
"RAAAAAAAAA!!!"
The monster couldn't hold it anymore and changed the tactic again. It stopped moving and rose up to the water surface before jumping in the air.
"Ughhhhh!!!" Acht groaned again.
He knew what it was trying to do.
The monster didn't disappoint as after it flew in the air, it fell down with its back facing the water. It intended to crush Acht.
*BOOOOOOMMM*
Lein watched the intense fight with a tense expression. She wanted to help him but she couldn't do anything to reach the back of the monster as Acht did. All she could do was watch from the sidelines and hope for the best.
The sound of the explosion of water as the monster plunged into it again was so loud it could destroy someone's eardrums if they were not careful.
It was a direct hit.
She sat there waiting for any response or reaction coming from the water. She had no idea what to do at this point.
Was it really the end? Or is there a possibility of survival?
She had already reached a near-death situation with just one hit from that monster so she didn't know if she could actually get out of here alive.
She also didn't believe in things called miracles as they were nothing but the dreams of powerless people that couldn't try to get their own fates in their hands.
She might die here but she would never pray to get out of this alive.
However, as she was about to close her eyes and sigh, another sound came down from not soft far away. Then, a silhouette emerged from the water violently.
"Fuuuuh!!! Damn it!!" Acht cursed as he basically broke his mask to breathe and then cursed loudly.
He somehow got out alive before the monster made the impact. The tusk was also out of its body which was the reason why it left and went deeper into the sea.
"I am never going back to the sea again." He muttered to himself with a frown.
