Chapter 965: Attacking the Checkpoint Turtle (1/2)
Krune, the Seamstress, and Solare vanished from the scene, along with the boat, Paddle. Within a minute, people were beginning to appear from all sides, intending to board the Checkpoint Turtle to exchange their Godly Points for rewards.
But then, they noticed a group of boats heading towards the Checkpoint Turtle, forming a file. On top of that, there seemed to be something huge moving underwater behind them. The people looked at the expressions of each other, having guessed that the group were the pirates that have been infamous around the parts recently.
Without any hesitation, they turned their boats around and left the place, intending to search for another Checkpoint Turtle.
Situated inside the Checkpoint Turtle's shell, floating amidst the water within was the octopus. Its head peeked out of the water as it was able to sense the incoming pirate ship, muttering, ”Interesting. My lord would definitely love this development.”
It didn't do anything and simply vanished from the spot, similar to the people that ripped their tickets.
It reappeared in a faraway place and watched the Checkpoint Turtle with a curious expression. As for the Checkpoint Turtle it had been inside all along, it was still oblivious of its disappearance.
It then felt something as its head coiled around, gazing at the massive pirate ship that was approaching. Upon seeing the shell of its brethren used in the making of the ship, it felt anger.
”Let's greet it first, shall we?” Gajor laughed as he transmitted his voice using his passive ability, informing the people, ”Send two torpedoes first and see what happens.”
Two small entrances were manually opened by a group of fish. It was the place the Checkpoint Turtle's head was supposed to be if it had been alive. From each hole exited a long tube, possessing a sharp tip. It was the one Gajor called a Torpedo.
It seemed to have been created using the bones of a Sonic Radar, judging by its toughness and the sharpness of its tip. The front was a cone, while the rear was just a hollow cylinder. The walls of the cylinder sported numerous gaps through which water flowed.
Situated within, biting a protrusion for support, was a Motor Fish, accelerating the construct through the water. Moreover, it wasn't alone. There were two hatchling Motor Fishes that had been affixed within the cylinder perpendicularly to the Motor Fish.
When they moved forward, they caused the Torpedo to rotate. And, as the two hatchling Motor Fishes moved with all their might, the Torpedo rotated with a tremendous speed. It swiftly moved through the water, making a wide arc as it headed straight towards the Checkpoint Turtle.
The two torpedoes moved separately, aiming from different angles. Upon seeing their approach, the Checkpoint Turtle expressed fury as it unleashed its tremendous presence, for a moment causing everyone in the place, humans and fishes included, to shudder in fear, choking as they seemed to be on the verge of fainting.
As for the Motor Fishes in the two torpedoes, they weren't that different either. Though, even after they had fainted, their bodies continued to affect the water and generate currents. In the pirate ship, Gehen was kneeling on the floor as he directed the Motor Fishes in the torpedoes.
This was the reason they continued to move. Unlike everyone who only tamed them, Gehen was controlling them using his passive ability. Thus, he was able to do something like that.
Upon seeing the two Torpedoes continue to head towards it, the Checkpoint Turtle grunted as its tail peeked out of the water, rapidly sucking in air. It then opened its mouth and unleashed a sphere of air that headed towards the two torpedoes.
The torpedoes swiftly changed directions, making a wider arc to escape the air bubble. But even though it missed, the air bubble exploded, causing a wave in the water that slammed into the torpedoes, killing the Motor Fishes within.
'That is tremendously powerful!' Gehen inhaled a sharp breath of air, shouting towards Gajor, ”Quick, begin the plan!”
”Alright!” Gajor replied as he transmitted his voice, ”Send out all the torpedoes and breath blockers. Commence full-scale attack!”
The moment he transmitted his voice, Gajor looked at Gehen. Gehen nodded as he patted his brother's shoulder, saying, ”I'll leave it to you, brother.”
”Haha, leave it to me.” Gajor laughed as he grunted and quickly moved through the floors. Even though they had been affected by the Checkpoint Turtle's suffocating pressure, having consumed a Water Essence each, they were able to move.
