Chapter 965: Attacking the Checkpoint Turtle (2/2)

As for the pirates, they had also done the same. Even the Motor Fishes had been fed a quarter Water Essence each. All of it were those they had plundered from the people throughout the two years. And now, they were spending them all for this one mission.

Almost twenty torpedoes were shot out from the pirate ship. They instantly spread out in all directions and headed towards the Checkpoint Turtle through different paths and at uneven times, preventing it from reacting accordingly.

Despite its tremendous size and powers, at the end of the day, it was a turtle, not famed for its speed. Moreover, when the Checkpoint Turtle unleashed another air bubble, something shot towards it at tremendous speeds, colliding into it.

And upon collision, the impact of the wave only caused a ripple, one that spread vertically in a two-dimensional manner. Unlike before when the shockwaves traveled radially, none were affected this time as they ensured they weren't around the singular wave.

It was a piece of cake to predict and dodge such an attack when in comparison, the radial shockwave couldn't be dodged.

The one that had caused this was a flat piece of wall that was slightly bigger than the air bubble unleashed by the Checkpoint Turtle. And, despite facing the attack head-on, it wasn't even scratched.

That was because it was made using the tablets of the people. The tablets were stuck to one another to create a wall large enough to block an attack. There were three rows of tablets arranged accordingly to create an unbreakable wall.

Upon seeing its effectiveness, Gehen heaved a sigh of relief, muttering, ”Thankfully, the adhesive I used to stick them is powerful enough.”

He then nodded, recalling a powerful creature that was capable of secreting mucus that caused all fishes to be attracted towards one another. Upon contact, they would stick to one another. The creature used this to create massive baits that attracted even more fishes towards it, creating a beneficial cycle.

And in the end, it would swallow them whole. Just the memory of it caused Gehen to shudder. He hadn't personally killed it, but had used the Helper Whistle to summon a lot of predator fishes to kill it.

In the end, he obtained its ability, storing its secretion to later apply on the tablets. It was an incredible ability to rely on and was one of his main weapons. And, now that he noticed its adhesive properties was enough to not fall apart from one of the Checkpoint Turtle's attacks, he heaved a sigh in relief.

He hadn't used the adhesiveness generated using his passive ability, for that wasn't potent enough yet. Rather, he had used the one sourced from the creature itself. Only because of that was it so powerful.

There were four walls in total. Hidden behind each was a team of pirates. They moved through the water, propelling towards an air bubble immediately upon notice. Upon receiving every attack, their bodies shuddered, on the verge of death.

The moment they defended against an attack, they retreated to recover while another team replaced them immediately. Since everyone had swallowed a Water Essence, they were managing somehow.

One of the Torpedoes managed to swerve through the Checkpoint Turtle's attacks, arriving before its neck before colliding into it. Even the neck muscles were ridiculously tough as the Torpedo stopped by the time the tip was lodged a couple of centimeters deep.

But soon after, the hatchling Motor Fishes began to proper forth as the torpedo continued to rotate while the Motor Fish continued to press it into the Checkpoint Turtle's neck. Moreover, quite a few torpedoes headed towards its back, a place it couldn't reach easily under the situation, landing on its tail one after another.

Upon noticing this, the Checkpoint Turtle moved, intending to head deeper into the water and rotate so that it could throw them all off. But, the moment it began to move, the pirate ship arrived from underneath and rammed into its belly.

The shell covering it was tougher than the Checkpoint Turtle's as it was sourced from a mature, ancient Checkpoint Turtle, possibly the strongest of them when it was alive. So, the younger Checkpoint Turtle was unable to handle the impact, suffering mild internal injuries as it was pushed up, prevented from escaping into the depths of the ocean.

At this time, Gajor arrived at the center of the pirate ship, out into an open tunnel that traversed from the front to the end of the pirate ship, acting as the channel that all the Motor Fishes in it used to propel the ship forward.

He laughed, saying, ”One Helper Whistle can summon a predator fish. On top of that, a Helper Whistle can be used ten times.”

Followed by his laughter, he began to blow into each Helper Whistle ten times. Something immediately changed in the waters as numerous dangerous fishes emerged from the depths of darkness, each at least three to four times his size.
