Chapter 966: Killing the Checkpoint Turtle (1/2)

Predator Fishes!

Any fish that hunted other fishes were classified under this category. But the ones summoned by the Helper Whistle were at least one to two meters in length and had a vicious nature. On top of that, it was calculated based on their ability to resist a wave.

In other words, that meant only fishes capable of killing at least three Neon Radiance fishes were classified as the predator fishes summoned by the Helper Whistle.

With that, Gajor blew a hundred of them ten times each, causing the ocean water to dim a little as a thousand predator fishes appeared, swimming through the waters as they headed straight towards the Checkpoint Turtle.

Using the Helper Whistles, that was the command Gajor gave them. A Helper Whistle worked on chance. Only the closest predator fish would be summoned. And by summoned, it wasn't as if they would be teleported.

They would simply be called forth. The closer they were, the faster they came. Since he had called forth a thousand predator fishes, they arrived in numerous batches, splitting up as they began to attack the Checkpoint Turtle.

The breath blockers—the tablet walls—blocked all of the Checkpoint Turtle's breath attacks while the torpedoes continued to drill into its body. Even though its body was tremendously tough, after drilling continuously, they were beginning to pierce through it.

They hadn't aimed at its shell. Gajor and Gehen were knowledgeable about just how ridiculously tough the Checkpoint Turtle's shell was. Even its muscles proved to be tremendously tough. As for the shell, they could drill it for an entire year and still fail to penetrate it completely.

First of all, they didn't have the proper tools to damage it. And secondly, the shell absorbed the healing properties from the ocean water. Therefore, it was capable of healing the damage inflicted on it.

So, attacking the shell was perfectly useless. Moreover, even its body was the same, capable of healing by absorbing the healing properties in the ocean water. Moreover, it was able to condense all the healing effects in a damaged part.

Since it was stupendously huge, resembling an island, the amount of healing effect it could absorb was nauseating to drill through. Despite everything, they continued to attack it.

The greatest damage dealer to it was the pirate ship that rammed into it from time to time, jerking it completely. This caused it internal damage while at times causing it to shoot breath attacks on the pirate ship.

Gajor and Gehen were happy whenever that happened. That was because even they knew the ship's hull wouldn't fall apart that fast. It would be able to bear at least forty to fifty attacks before even beginning to crack.

Plus, it took almost a minute per breath attack.

The predator fishes entered the gaps between its shell, biting into its flesh. A torpedo retreated, revealing the hole it had drilled through. A group of predator fishes hurriedly swamped the area, biting through the exposed flesh.

Just the sheer nutrition within it caused the predator fishes to enter a state of frenzy, drilling through it in an effort to devour more.

The Checkpoint Turtle flailed its limbs, failing to hit anyone as it was just too slow. As for its breath attacks, they were being defended by the tablet walls. Though at times, they failed to completely negate the damage and caused some casualties. In any case, it didn't matter on the grand scale of things.

Neither of the twins cared about the losses. In their minds, all losses were recoverable.

”Time to send in the big one now.” Gehen laughed as a large space was opened in the ship's front. Exiting it was a torpedo ten times the size of others. There were four Motor Fishes just to propel it forward and another four to spin it. All of them were adults.

The moment they appeared, the Checkpoint Turtle noticed them. But, when it targeted them, the pirates controlling the tablet walls desperately moved forth to defend. More than half the pirates had suffered serious injuries now.

But now, that didn't matter as they persisted.

The Checkpoint Turtle condensed another breath attack. This time though, it didn't unleash it, instead storing it and compressing it further. Upon seeing it, Gehen knew that the situation had turned dangerous.

He immediately summoned all the fishes under his control to move forth, forming a large spherical school in the water, heading towards the Checkpoint Turtle's mouth. As for the two massive torpedoes, they spun ominously in the water, traveling at insane speeds.
