Chapter 265: Sharks" Attacks
It"s survival training for the others, and I don"t want to waste my time watching over everyone. I said that I will patrol every hour, but that"s a lie. Other than the fifth island, the other islands are not as difficult. Unless the partic.i.p.ants are extremely unlucky, there"s nothing wrong will happen.
As for Angela and the others in the fifth island, although they were initially Went off on their own, later, they group up together. Seems like they know their limit. Well, other than the Werewolves who choose to keep fighting on their own.
Although they decided to group up, whenever they encounter a monster, they would take turn in fighting it. After one monster is defeated, the next mage will step forward. When there"s a monster one mage can"t defeat, the next mage will help.
As for the Werewolves, they keep getting injured in fighting strong monsters. But their recovery rate is fast enough to get them healed for the next fight. That"s why I know that everyone will be fine.
And while everyone is training, I"m also training. It"s not like I"m always slacking.
But unlike the others, I am in a location with even stronger monsters than those in the fifth island. It"s under the sea.
Around the second island, it"s infested with a lot of shark monsters deep underwater.
There are small sharks, shark Fishmen, Shark-Octopus hybrid, Shark with legs, Shark with arms, and many other types of sharks. What I don"t get is that every time I encounter a shark, Victoria seems happy and would sing. But the song she sang doesn"t have any lyrics and was just doo doo doo. Probably another thing from her world. Again, just what the h.e.l.l is wrong with her world?
As for me, I"m fine with fighting these sharks. Each of them has unique style of fighting. But in the end, I"m still getting bored. Especially since shark doesn"t taste that good. I want something I can eat and taste good!
By the way, there"s a reason why I stayed here despite being surrounded by these sharks. It"s because I felt someone is watching me.
Right, I felt it. Not saw it.
Even when I"m using Divine Vision to the fullest, I still can"t see whatever is watching me. and whenever I tried to get closer to the source, the numbers of the sharks approaching me increased.
There"s one time that I can barely see the thing that watched me. It has a fish tail. Probably another kind of fish monster. Maybe another shark monster since these sharks keep annoying me. But I don"t think that"s the case.
I know since I keep fighting these sharks that sharks have vertical fin tail, which when they swim, they would swing it left and right. But the one watching me has a horizontal fin tail that swung up and down. Like a dolphin or whale.
Don"t tell me that"s a mermaid?! I don"t know, but if there"s a monster I can communicate with, I would love to meet them.
And the main reason why I want to catch up with the one watching me is because of its eye. Since it can see further than my Divine Vision while being underwater, I can guess that that thing has better eyesight underwater. If I defeat it without using magic, my Divine Vision could be improved again.
But it keeps running away whenever I tried to get closer. Or is it swimming away? Even with my speed, that thing is still faster than me. I"m curious about what that creature is.
I guess I would never know if it keeps escaping from me.
If that thing has an eye that can see well only underwater, I would have surfaced, and look at it from outside of the water. But right now, I"m way too deep and my Divine Vision won"t be able to reach this far. If I can"t reach that thing today, I will give up.
d.a.m.n, these sharks are persistent! And Victoria won"t keep her mouth shut either! Now that doo doo doo is stuck in my head. Please don"t let the next one a shark so she will stop singing!
And my wish… wasn"t granted. This time, I encounter a shark with a turtle"s sh.e.l.l. And it"s difficult to defeat it.
Even when I tried to attack its head, it will hide is head inside the sh.e.l.l. And that sh.e.l.l is much harder than the Giant Salamander"s scales. Sea creatures are scary.
I guess I can only give up on chasing the one who is watching me. This Turtle Sh.e.l.l Shark is annoying!
I swam away from the watcher hoping that there won"t be any more reinforcement in case that one is really the one who called these sharks. I don"t know if it"s true or not, but at least the numbers of shark around me has decreased.
I defeated the other sharks, and finally get a chance on a one on one against the Turtle Sh.e.l.l Shark.
The weapon that suit against that thing is… the drill I used to enter the Giant Salamander. But this shark is much smaller in scale and move faster as well. Then, let"s try to fight it with Reizpear. My self-repair spear.
I hold my spear with both hands, with my left hand holding the middle part of the spear, and my right is holding the end of the spear. This is a technique I practiced a lot in my free time.
I can use it well with Victoria as my weapon, but I practiced it for Reizpear.
I spun the spear with my right hand to the limit of the Reizpear"s endurance combined with my Aura, and hold the spin with my left hand so from the middle part of the spear to the tip, it"s still straight like usual. But from the middle to the end, the shaft is twisted weirdly. Some part even started to crack. And that"s when I stopped spinning the spear.
I quickly charged toward the Turtle Sh.e.l.l Shark. The shark quickly hides inside its sh.e.l.l, but I still attacked it with Reizpear.
Once I"m within the range, I let go of my left hand and pushed the spear with only my right hand. The spear was released from my restraint, and twisted while moving forward. This way, the effect will be like I"m using a drill to the sh.e.l.l.
The spinning tip of the spear hit the sh.e.l.l, and drilled through the sh.e.l.l. The shark"s blood filled my vision. I feel so happy about the fact that I finally have a special move against strong armored opponents. Though in the end, Reizpear broke apart. Good thing it"s a self-repair spear. I instantly pour some magic so the spear returned to its shape again.
It"s the first time that I used that move in a real fight. I need to remember the flaw I had when I used it so I can fix it. But overall, it"s a powerful move.
If it"s outside of water, I can put compressed air behind my right hand, and burst it as I attack so I have more power. There are still a lot of thing I can improve in this move.
But d.a.m.n! If only I have the ability to remember in skill-learning as learning people"s name, I would be perfect. But I guess one can"t wish for everything.
This move, when I tried to use it in a lake, it made a small whirlpool. And this time, when I"m using it deep underwater, there"s a small whirlpool, but it"s stopped quickly by the water pressure.
I guess that"s it for today. I can no longer get to that one that watched me, so I"ll leave. I also need to patrol on the islands to see how everyone is progressing.
I quickly went out of the sea, and run on air to see each island. From the first to the fourth, the number of people is decreasing considerably. I don"t think that they have given up.
And when I look at the fifth island, I can see the reason. Everyone is moving to the fifth island to test against stronger monsters since the previous island is not satisfying for them. Though some people are entering the third island because of the view. They are relaxing while taking turns fighting monsters. Well, that doesn"t matter as long as everyone is improving.
On the fifth island, I see that many people are there like I thought. They are doing their best fighting monsters there. Probably they thought that the previous island wasn"t enough, so they move.
Since there"s no one who has contacted Sonia, it means that everything is going fine. At least it"s good that the people are mainly in the fifth island, and the third island. Which mean I don"t have to go on the other three islands to patrol anymore. I hope they will stay in those two islands.
I return back to the villa today. I"ll be patrolling again later. And tomorrow, everyone should be returning safely. I hope everyone will return on their own so I won"t have to pick them up.
I"d like to take a rest, but it"s difficult. Especially since Victoria"s doo doo doo stuck in my head.
I guess I"ll take a rest later then.
