Chapter 865 - 865 Fighting Crabbe
865 Fighting Crabbe
I’m riding on Spot’s head as he swum into the ocean. Behind him were his children. And behind his children were the Crab People.
A whole tribe of Crab People were swimming to the ocean. And seeing how those monsters that kind of look like humans except their four arms and their gigantic size swimming, it’s kind of scary.
On average, they are over 3 meters tall. With Crabbe himself is over 4 meters tall. So huge.
I wonder how huge the dragons that have entered the village? Are they as big as the Crab People? They are getting along with other monsters, right? I hope that they won’t kill each other.
If there’s any problem in the village with the arrival of the dragons, I hope that Shelia and Graham can take care of it. And almost all the monsters in the village are combatants, so they should help if such thing happened.
And if they can’t do it for some reason, then I will call Andro and stop those dragons from causing ruckus. It should be fine.
“Alright, let’s stop here.”
After swimming far enough from the sh.o.r.e, I stopped Spot. Then the others also stopped.
The waves created by them stopping can be seen. Not as huge and as dangerous as the wave created by the group of orcas before. But this is still huge. If those Crab People move more powerfully, they should be able to create bigger and stronger wave.
.....
“Crabbe, we will fight down here. We will start from the bottom and then fight however we want. There’s no boundaries of where we should fight. Just fight however you want,” I said.
“Okay. I’m also curious about how strong an Aura Master is. Shelia and the other strong monsters in the village said that you are the strongest in land. And you wanted to fight me underwater. Are you sure you’re ready?” Crabbe asked.
“Don’t worry about me. I can breathe just fine underwater. Also, I won against this serpent in a fight a long time ago. So I’m quite strong,” I said.
Though it was not something I can call a victory. But I think that if it’s now, I can win against Spot in a real battle.
“Well, not really though. If it’s underwater, it’s still my victory since I can just swallow you whole when I’m in my real size. And the battle back then was not just underwater. But also on air and on land. So you can’t use me as a comparison,” Spot said.
But I felt like I was winning back then, so I will say that I won.
“Anyway, let’s dive to the bottom of the sea. Can you see well in the dark?” I asked.
“You asked me? Someone who have been living in the dark place since I was born?” Crabbe asked.
Yep, my fault. He can still see well in the dark. At least he won’t have a problem with fighting there.
“Then let’s go. I won’t be able to talk underwater. So if one of us wave our hand like this, it means that you gave up and the battle is over. If you understand, let’s dive,” I said.
“I can still speak underwater though. So I will not wave my hand like that,” Crabbe said before he dives into the water.
My bad. I guess it’s magic.
“I can also speak underwater. Though if I do that to you, you might be jealous. That’s why I only texted you using the phone you gave me,” Spot said.
Am I the stupid one in this situation? Maybe.
Who would have thought that intellectual sea monsters can speak underwater? Not me.
Crabbe dived into the water so fast. Should be faster than Spot when he’s diving down vertically. Is he okay with the water pressure?
Then the other Crab People also dived down. They are all covered with sh.e.l.ls. Are they useful against water pressure? Or maybe it’s because their bodies are naturally strong?
Whatever the case, they are good at swimming. As long as Crabbe is willing, I will make a contract with him. Making him my last familiar as a master level summoner. And I hope that no one will die so I don’t have to look for another monster.
Spot also dived down to see how fast the Crab People were. Leaving me standing on the sea.
And then, Victoria covered my body and adjust her weight to the heaviest. Since this is not a real fight, I don’t want to wear the magic armor. Victoria will be my weapon underwater.
With her weight, I sunk faster than anyone else. And I reached the bottom first. Followed by Crabbe and the others.
Only me and Crabbe here. The others are watching us from a safe distance.
Well, even if they are not close, that doesn’t mean that I can just use my powerful Twisting Spear attack here. Or I might end up hurting them. I guess I’ll just focus on close range.
I might not be a fast swimmer. But I can move easily underwater. Just by using Aura covering any part of my body, then I will punch or kick the water so I can maneuver and dodge any attack. That’s what I always do in an underwater battle.
Though it’s been a long time since I last fight someone underwater. The last time is probably when I fought Spot.
Now, the fight begun.
Without any warning, I kicked the sand and dashed toward Crabbe. Pointing my spear at him.
First, it’s just a test. I want to see how strong his sh.e.l.l armor is.
With just a little bit of Aura infused to Victospear, I thrust it forward toward Crabbe’s chest. His inner organ is very similar to a human. Not everything is similar, but some are. And his heart is located in his left side of his chest. And I aimed toward that place.
With this strength, I could even kill most sea monsters I previously encounter. But the tip of the spear stopped at Crabbe’s sh.e.l.l protecting his heart. And there’s barely a dent in it.
Yup, that’s strong. He’s more than worthy to be my familiar already. But now, let’s see how strong his attack is. Though I already know the answer.
Not with his claw, but with his fist, he punched me. I can endure that punch easily, but I’m not a creature of water. So I still got blown back from that punch.
From the outside, it seems like he’s the stronger one. Though neither of us were using our full strength.
I just smiled at him as a recognition that he’s a strong individual. From now, the real battle begun.
I increased the amount of Aura infused into the spear. And Crabbe realized that he can’t protect himself with his sh.e.l.l, so he used both his claws to defend himself.
The result was he got blown back several meters. And his right claw was dented a bit. Though he can still use it.
I know that he can regenerate his sh.e.l.l. But when the sh.e.l.l are destroyed, especially on his claws, I don’t think that he can use those claws anytime soon. But it seems like it’s still strong enough to endure an attack from an Aura user.
I guess that means I have to get more serious.
Knowing that I’m much stronger than expected, Crabbe attacked me from far using water magic from both his claws. There’s not much attack power, but they are strong enough to push me back. But maybe since we’re underwater, and he’s only using water magic to push me, there’s nothing for me to worry about. And I can protect myself from the water pressure. So I’m quite fine.
As expected, he’s still not used in using magic for a long time. Just like when he fought the spider. Though he used his magic longer than before now.
When his water magic stopped, I used all my strength to push myself forward before he could escape.
This might be underwater, but I can still use combo attack. And I used multiple thrust because it’s the easiest attack to use underwater. I just need to thrust the spear forward and pull it back over and over again as fast as possible.
But to do that, I need to cover my body with Aura more than before. So the attacking power is less than when I dented one of Crabbe’s claw. But it’s normal for a combo attack to be weaker than one strong attack.
I just need to attack Crabbe over and over again until his armor is broken. And I can see some part of his sh.e.l.ls have holes since he couldn’t use his claws to protect everything. Though those part are not his vitals at all.
Isn’t it great to have four arms? He could protect more parts of his body than just using two arms. Especially those huge claws. Though my attack doesn’t seem to break his claws yet. Just how much stronger is his claw compared to the sh.e.l.ls on the other parts of his body?
Finally, he used his left claw to pinch on Victospear. Then he tried to attack me with his other claw. But Victoria is a shape-shifting slime. So I just need to get her transformed to get out of there before he could hit me.
I see that he got good sense of battle. I’m getting more and more interested in making a contract with him.
