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

Right when the Checkpoint Turtle opened its mouth, the two of them pierced into either side of its shoulder, targeting the point where its neck touched its body. The insane revolution it possessed caused it to readily drill into the Checkpoint turtle's flesh, drawing out copious amounts of blood.

As the Checkpoint Turtle's mouth opened, a sphere of air exited, looking almost no different to the bubbles from before. But this time, it seemed slightly heavier. On top of that, it didn't blast forth, moving slowly as it arrived before the school of fish, breaking apart.

For a moment, the ocean water seemed to have frozen over as everything seemed still. But immediately, a vortex formed in the center before a powerful shockwave blasted forth, attacking everything in its path.

It hit the pirate ship, sending it flying back a little. As for the pirates, they turned into a sea of blood. Most of the torpedoes had been destroyed, the Motor Fishes within, dead.

Gehen quickly got up and ran through the ship, soon exiting it as he was only able to see a sea of blood. His brother had already been floating outside. The two arrived within the ship and looked at each other, looking at the confusion and fear in the eyes of one another.

Gajor asked, ”Is it dead?”

Gehen shook his head as he replied, ”It's still going strong.”

”Damn it. I guess we have no other choice but to go all out,” Gajor cursed. ”We might be able to replenish the pirates within a couple of years. But, we won't be able to replenish the Motor Fishes that quickly.”

”But once you get that, we'll have more power. We can slowly accumulate everything back once again,” Gehen said.

”Fine. What you said makes sense.” Gajor nodded, commanding all the pirates to head out, ”It's almost dead. One more push. The one that contributes the most would be directly supported with powerful passive abilities.”

All the remaining pirates exited the pirate ship, swimming towards the Checkpoint Turtle. The remaining torpedoes were also launched as the pirate ship accelerated towards the Checkpoint Turtle, ramming into it.

The two monstrous objects moved past the sea of blood as Gehen was able to notice the two torpedoes lodged deeply into the Checkpoint Turtle's neck. It seemed the force from its attack had caused them to be lodged deep into its neck, preventing it from healing itself.

Moreover, there still seemed to be around a dozen predator fishes that were alive. They were the ones that had penetrated deep into the Checkpoint Turtle's flesh and had avoided the shockwave.

Gehen rammed the pirate ship into the Checkpoint Turtle continuously while Gajor commanded the pirates to attack accordingly. The earlier attack had caused all four of their tablet walls to be sent flying. When the momentum died, they sunk to the depths of the ocean.

Thankfully for them, the injuries in its neck prevented the Checkpoint Turtle from unleashing strong breath attacks anymore. The ones it unleashed, although terrifying, weren't at the previous levels. The shockwaves didn't directly kill them.

And with the Water Essence healing them, combined with the fact that they were surrounded by water, the pirates persisted. The battle continued for three more days when the last of the pirate perished. None of them had escaped because the closer they got to killing the Checkpoint Turtle, the greater they were enveloped by greed, wondering if they would be the lucky ones to obtain its ability.

Eventually, only Gajor and Gehen were alive. Without saying anything, they sped through the waters, intending to deal the final blow to the Checkpoint Turtle. At present, its neck was almost snapped as it was oozing out blood.

It was on the verge of death. Upon seeing it, Gajor carried his blade, expressing his greed as he sped forth with his maximum speed. Summoning all his strength, he hacked on the tethered portion of the neck, barely causing a dent.

Gehen had arrived before him, positioning himself on the other side as he began to hack into it. To prevent being stabbed in the back, the two faced each other and continued to hack into the Checkpoint Turtle's neck.

And when it seemed like it was about to die, Gajor raised his blade high up, condensing all his strength in it as he brought down his blade, pausing abruptly as he noticed a blade peeking out of his chest.

His first thought was of Gehen betraying him. He looked at his brother, noticing the shocked look on the other party, suffused with anger and disbelief. Gajor turned around, wondering if there was any other pirate that had survived and had stabbed his back, only to see a Motor Fish hatchling holding a blade.

His eyes widened as he mentally sighed, watching a sword pierce his neck. It was Gehen.

After killing Gajor, he didn't even waste another second on him as Gehen hacked with his sword, dealing the final blow to the Checkpoint Turtle.
