Chapter 26 - The Ultimate Battle; All Fishes Shall Know Pain!
Chapter 26 - The Ultimate Battle; All Fishes Shall Know Pain!
The Sting Tailers were left dazed by the sudden turn of events.
A moment ago, their clan head and the Viper Queen were terrorizing the Leroy clan head. Then the next moment, the tables turned, and now their leader was dead and gone for good.
The situation felt like a fairytale to them, they just couldn't believe it.
"What in the name of all 7 seas just happened?" This was the only question that was in their minds. Their inability to find a plausible answer only left them even more confused and lost.
This confusion ended though after the surviving members of the Leroy clan started chanting the name of their savior, Sebastian. Then the realization finally came to them, their leader was really dead.
When your leader died, making the battle against your archenemies hopeless, what do you do?
"Run!!"
Like they suddenly got injected with dose upon dose of adrenaline, the shocked members of the Sting Tail clan turned without hesitation and fled with their tails between their legs.
Yes, they still had the superior numbers paired with the members of the Viper clan. But with Sting Tail dead, and the Viper Queen gone, they had no hopes of emerging victorious on the battlefield.
On the side of the Leroy clan, the situation was the exact opposite. Burning with the urge to get revenge, the fishes and sea creatures imprinted with the tag of the Leroy clan vented their anger in one go.
Kill!
Teeth were bare raw for savage melees; weapons were drawn for complicated brawls and battles. Without hesitation, the clan members went in pursuit intending to wipe out their opponents.
Crunching bites started reverberating in the battlefield again after the temporary stop. The water bubbled fiercely again as it started being tainted with the familiar crimson red color of blood.
Under the leadership of Big Group, the few remaining numbers of angry survivors from the Leroy clan army went in pursuit immediately.
Being the commander, Big Group led the charge. His enormous body for a grouper fish bulldozed through the opponents like an excavator, excavating lives while creating attack opportunities for his subordinates.
Spankster accumulated her abundant magic energy, pumping them rapidly into her bills as she charged forward like a bull ramming forward at its prey.
Yaah! Bam!
She yelled as her bills dug into her unguarded troublesome opponent, dealing astronomical damage in one blow as the opposing clan's soldier was originally focused on escaping.
With another crunching sound, a teammate wolfish rapidly arrived at her side before helping to finish the opponent with a vicious bite.
With red eyes shining with a glint of blood, they both let out victorious cries before continuing their hunt across the ranks of the now flustered enemies who were just focused on escaping.
The battlefield became extremely chaotic again, the only difference this time was that the surviving members of the Leroy clan were now the hunters instead of being the hunted.
Seeing the ongoing battle, Leroy's eyes gleamed coldly.
After the fierce battle against both clan heads who were roughly of the same strength base as he was, he was left exhausted, and riddled with injuries, severely reducing his combat strength by a lot.
Despite this, he was not ready to back down until it was over.
He may be currently weaker than his peak self, but his defective self was still miles stronger than the prey that was currently escaping before him.
With a glint of determination shining in his eyes, he raised his exhausted pair of hands to grab all 6 hammers again. His armor was damaged, but it could still take him through another rough struggle.
He suddenly raised all 6 hammers, let out a battle cry before throwing himself into the battlefield without a care of the world.
Bam! Bam!
His hammers did the work that they were crafted to do, smashing opponents to death. His hands bulged like he was a fitness master who was on steroids, then he waved his enormous hammers left and right.
None of his opponents could stop him at all, that was the difference in stat attributes showing vividly. Even without his magic, he was still a formidable opponent.
At another part of the battlefield, after killing the nearest young viper that tried to escape from his grasp, Sebastian stopped for a moment to draw an overall layout of the battlefield in his head.
He still felt weak due to his magic organ having been drained of all juice. He felt like a lion that was left to starve for years, it was a feeling that left him feeling uncomfortable.
His situation was just like Leroy's the only difference was that, unlike the old turtle, he was not familiar with this feeling yet so he found it a little hard to acclimatize with it.
Despite all the discomfort that he was experiencing, his eyes were still glittering like stars as he watched the escaping fishes like an assassin stalking his prey from the dark.
Today, not only did he evolve into a new tier of strength, he got a unique skill and deduced its principles, directly taking his overall combat strength through quantum leaps of expansions.
Not only that, he helped the clan who sheltered him to kill their greatest and most hated archenemy. That was a stingray that was 11 levels higher than he was, this fact still left him lightheaded.
Not only that, he leveled twice after killing it and the Adaptation and Skill points that he got from it also left him feeling satisfied.
Now, he was faced with the little fries. If they were just enemies, he may have felt lazy to dissect them into pieces. But they were not just enemies, they were sparkling clean adaptation and skill points to him.
"All fishes shall know pain!"
Pumping himself up with that, he strained his already stretched tight stamina, drew power from it to spread what he was good at.
[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]
[You have activated skill: Dash.]
[You have activated skill: Shredding Bite.]
Crunch!
Biting down the first time which resulted in a death, he rapidly turned his head and bit again and again consecutively, leading to a long line of dead organisms squirming out their blood behind him.
[You have activated skill: Spike Attack.]
Unleashing his dagger-like skin adaptations again, he cut through the helpless fishes, the spikes stabbing through their flesh like a hot knife cutting through butter.
No Leroy clan member on the battlefield remained idle, they all went in pursuit to eliminate all vestiges left behind by their enemies.
All these efforts were so that by the end of today, only one ultimate clan will be left as the ruler of this expanse.
