Chapter 64 Class Up?
Chapter 64 Class Up?
From the depths of the abyss below me, I could see my wrinkly feet, and beneath them was a shadowy figure quickly but surely locked onto me and swimming with all its might.
I swam to the side, but it just adjusted, meaning I had to face this straight on, and when I went to go use my status, something else appeared.
A massive fishing spear appeared in my right hand, the feeling of mana slowly becoming more and more foreign to me with each passing second.
It was a strange feeling, but I couldn't get caught on it now as I had to defend myself against the shark, probably as long and as big as me, but with jaws so wide it could practically swallow me whole.
SWISH
The fishing spear sliced straight through the water a bit too fast as it slipped right off of the shark's surprisingly slippery skin before its jaws opened up.
As it attempted to chomp down on my feet, I pulled them up while reeling my fishing spear back in and then faking the intelligent monster out with a light jab by the spear.
It just narrowly dodged its head to the side, allowing me to bring my leg in and kick its nose straight in, discombobulating it as its weak spot had practically been smashed.
Once again, I reeled the fishing spear back in and went to stab the shark's eye, only to be blocked by a solid chunk of ice gathering right beneath my feet.
What the hell?
The shark soon backed up as if it was getting ready to do something, and just judging from the explanation of the monster; I knew it was getting ready to use magic.
Shit, I can't use magic while it can… what is this bullshit?
On top of that, it had already recovered from my kick when normally a regular shark would have swum away, which I guess displays the difference between a normal animal and an absolute beast of a monster.
Krkkkkkkkkk
Shards of ice began to freeze around me, plummeting the temperature until I felt and saw my body physically shake from the cold.
The shivering that traveled through my body was utterly unmatchable to anything I had ever experienced in both of my lives.
The shark's abyssal black eyes stared at me while conjuring two spikes of ice that swirled around it, getting ready to launch at me and pierce massive holes in my body.
I waited and waited and waited until the shards had finally began to dart towards me, and so I dove down, feeling my legs get scraped, but at least everything else was fine… until I saw a pair of jaws appear in front of me.
I quickly gripped the spear in my hand and swung it down into the shark's mouth, causing it to bleed, but once it had chomped down, my spear had snapped in half like a twig, leaving me wrestling with the nose of it.
The monster was absolutely freezing to the touch, and frost and ice began to gather around my skin, causing me to shiver yet again.
My fist reeled back before flying through the frigid water, slamming the thing in its nose and then allowing me to grab the very end of my broken fishing spear.
For obvious reasons, the shark most likely thought I was going to punch its nose again as it snapped its head to the side, but I was aiming just for this moment as its eye was revealed to me.
SWISH
My spear came down on its eye, piercing it down to its skull, but I didn't stop there as I grit my teeth, seeing the thing thrash its head and its massive jaws chomp down on my torso.
The pain was excruciating, and I felt my consciousness nearly drift away as a freezing burn feeling began to shift through my body.
Just die! Just die already! Die! Die! Die! Die!!!
I smashed the spear further into the eye socket, eventually causing a large crack to echo throughout the water like a string of waves at the very surface of the ocean.
Please tell me…
Thankfully, the system had healed me, causing all the pain to flood out of my body while a new set of panels appeared, floating effortlessly in the endless body of water.

[Round 2: Electric Dragon Eel]
[Description: A dragon eel that has adapted to the strike of lightning rummaging through physical water. Just a shock from it will freeze your body in place, allowing the monster to wrap around your body and swallow your head hole.]

The monster I was expecting was something much smaller… but what I saw come from below me was a jaw ten times wider than the shark's.
Clearly, it said it was a dragon, but I didn't expect it to actually be so fucking big.
I attempted to swim up, but from its open jaws, a massive lightning bolt erupted through the water and cracked through my entire body.
My brain short-circuited almost instantly, causing me to faint but then quickly reawake, only to find myself trapped in the dark jaws of this thing.
My head snapped around, looking for anything to grab onto, but strangely something reached out towards me.
It was made from a glowing material that slowly vibrated and pulsated like a beating heart, pumping light through the dark jaws of this monster.
I drifted towards it, my body instinctively calling out towards it before another pair of jaws appeared in front of me, the user revealing their two distinct red eyes that pierced through me.
I felt my entire body freeze, and the glowing orb disappears… endless darkness slowly wrapping around me.

[Good Luck]
My head lifted up. My mouth was wide, gasping for air. Sweat dripped from my forehead as I swiveled my head around.
"S-Seal? Are you alright?"
