The whale"s mouth was opening, sucking the water in front of her, while Marco swimmed away avoiding to get sucked in, too.Whale Girl: Heh, a new victim appeared!
Her voice was really loud, but Marco didn"t cared and the moment the whale stopped moving, he extended his tail towards her to connect to her.
Then when he was really near, he used his claws to hook at her enormous body, when he was balanced, he noticed the great number of tentacles coming out from the whale"s body, who were trying to attack him, he needed 10 seconds for the 2nd Gate and his arm almost regenerated.
So he tried to dodge some while cutting others with claws, and finally he entered the 2nd Gate while his arm completely regenerated and ready to use, then both of his tails took the shape of claws and hooked at the whale"s body, he was out from the tentacles" range.
Then he slowly moved towards the Whale Girl"s head, where the main body was.
Whale Girl: Hmph! Do you think it was so easy? DREAM ON!
Then the monster swam downwards, towards some rocks with the intention of smashing Marco with her body. Marco just raised one of his tails which became as large as possible and punched the whale, it did only some damage since the monster"s skin was too thick, different than a normal whale.
The monster was still swimming downwards, and reached the rocks, then she turned her body while smashing the rocks, but fortunately Marco swam away from the monster before he would be crushed to death or unconscious.
When Marco seen that he was out from the way, he hooked again to the monster, and this time he was more near to her head.
The Whale Girl clicked her tongue and tried to grab Marco"s tails, but she found that they were semi-tangible, only what Marco wanted would be touched with his tails.
Whale Girl: d.a.m.n you!
Marco: Hmph! You are too slow to make me use my 3rd Gate!
Then Marco threw himself towards the girl, and used Thunder Thrust to her chest, piercing it using as much strength he could use, she spit magical power and said before being sealed.
Whale Girl: I… I should be the Queen… Guh!
Then she glowed and was sealed in a smaller whale, but still around the size of a truck, who swam away due to knowing that Marco was stronger than her.
Soon, Alice reached him and sighed in relief when she saw him safe while he was deactivating the Gates, but she immediately put a poker face and said.
Alice: You did good targeting the main body of the Whale Girl, and you used only 2 Gates…
Marco: Yeah… "The f.u.c.k was that monster?! I didn"t remember that whales were so big! I don"t even remember that Whale Girls even existed!"
Then Marco took a deep breath, still underwater, and extended his arm, before it glowed and made another path of light towards the temple.
Alice: It seems pretty near. Let"s go.
Marco nodded and swimmed towards the temple with Alice, but he stopped when he noticed something glowing between the rocks, he raised an eyebrow and checked at what it was, before finding something surprising.
It was a blue orb, with a shape and size exactly like the red one he already had, he took it and thought.
Marco: "It may be that the Whale Girl stole the orb from the Sea Queen… Who cares, I want to forge a good relationship for the war against Illias, so it"s better give it back to her"
Alice noticed that he was concentrated on something and asked.
Alice: It"s everything alright?
Marco: Yes, don"t worry.
Then Marco put the orb in his backpack and swam back to the temple with Alice.
[Later]
Marco and Alice entered the temple, even if it may be there for some centuries, it seemed really clean, maybe the Sea Queen asked someone to clean it.
Marco: Well, it is completely different from what I imagined…
Alice: Did you really think that the temple would be destroyed? Everyone wants to have a clean place to live in.
Marco: Yeah, sorry…
While they were swimming, they noticed a light coming closer, but neither Marco and Alice made a sound, when the light was close enough, it was revealed to be an Anglerfish Girl, and G.o.dd.a.m.n she was ugly.
First of all, she was really big, around this size of a house, then the monster parts seemed as if they are full of steroids, and had the other characteristics of an Anglerfish, she had no arms and her hair were long and brown.
She was moving slowly, and Marco stood away from her while Alice pa.s.sed beside her, the Anglerfish Girl was blind and could sense nearby people with their temperature, it was easy for Alice to hide herself since she was a cold-blooded monster, while Marco stood away.
The Anglerfish Girl didn"t noticed neither of the two of them, and continued to swim slowly forward, unknowingly missing Marco and Alice, when she was far enough, Marco sighed in relief.
Marco: Thanks G.o.d she didn"t sensed my temperature…
Alice: Oh? You knew of her species?
Marco: I know more things than you think, let"s go to the Sea Queen and leave, I don"t like that much being this deep in the sea… It"s creepy as f.u.c.k.
Alice agreed and followed Marco towards the throne room of the Sea Queen, but they stopped at a loud voice…
?: WHERE IT IS?! WHERE IS MY TREASURE?!
Alice: Treasure?
Marco: "It must be the blue orb…" It may be the Sea Queen…
Alice: Maybe… Let"s go check.
Marco nodded and both of them swimmed toward the source of the voice.
[Later]
They reached the bottom of the sea temple, in a giant hall, there was a giant monster who was really angry due to her treasure being stolen.
It was the Sea Queen, a Kraken, she had a big body with an immense bust, she had several tentacles instead of legs and hairs, her tentacles were royal purple colored, and right now she was raging everywhere, not noticing Marco and Alice who hid herself behind a pillar.
Marco: *Cough*
The Kraken finally noticed Marco and calmed a bit before saying.
Kraken: Sorry for my behavior, something happened… What do you want?
The Kraken was a bit rude, but knowing what was the reason for it Marco didn"t cared about her tone, so he took out the blue orb and said.
Marco: I want to gi-
Kraken: YOU!!!
The Kraken interrupted Marco when she seen the orb, and got enraged. Marco"s eye twitched, having a bad feeling, then he talked.
Marco: I w
Kraken: Silence! You wanted to get the orb… I"ll make you pay!
Marco: ...I-
Marco was interrupted for the third time when a tentacle almost bounded him, but he narrowly dodged it. He immediately used the 1st Gate and put the orb back in the backpack, ready to fight.
Marco: "d.a.m.ned r.e.t.a.r.ded Kraken... "
Then Marco sighed and rushed to the Kraken, trying to use Thunder Thrust, but his attack was blocked from 2 tentacles, then a third one slammed against him at a really fast speed, making him crash in a wall.
Marco immediately recovered and backed away while dodging other tentacles, he wanted to enter the 2nd Gate, but it will be difficult doing it against her.
Marco: "I hope to beat her before she uses Aqua Pentagram…"
And so, the realm fight started…
