93 Unexpected Battle (2/2)
The Old Bastard summoned an incredibly powerful healing magic that managed to completely destroy my Nether Magic Infection alongside repairing his damaged magic coat.
Seeing the outstanding effects of his own magic, the man laughed.
\”Haha! I can feel all my old magic flowing through this wonderful body! Absorbing my descendant blessing really gave me a powerful and young body! Now, prepare yourself, demon! You are fighting the Overlord of the East Ocean on its peak!\”
\”Absorbing… Your descendant?!\”
It seems that this bastard somehow absorbed Belle's powers. But where is she? No, I must concentrate on the fight first!
BOOM! BOOM!
Without wasting a second, I created more than ten [Arms of Demise] which I ordered to attack the bastard, throwing him several meters through the underground.
BAAAM!
As my attack destroyed the entire place, we came across an intricate cave section.
Because I found myself in a wider space, I let myself go wild with my magic, casting several of my strongest spells.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
The Old Ancestor was still falling as he saw more than ten [Fourth Element Chaos Storms] falling directly on his face, these were accompanied by [Superior Holy Annihilation] and [Multi Elemental Beam of Demise].
In less than three seconds, a destructive explosion made the entire Aquarian Kingdom tremble on a massive earthquake.
BOOOOOOOM!
When I began to inspect where the bastard was, I found him barely hanging out with a strong Magic Shield while breathing heavily, he didn't seem as young as he said.
\”H-HOW?! Aahhh… Ungh! Eh?! P-Poison? When did I got Poisoned?!\”
While everything was going on, I never took my vision outside of the Old Bastard while using [Mystic Eyes]. He seems to be immune to most status ailments but this Poison managed to get through, and as long as I keep looking at him, it will reappear even if he cast it off with healing magic.
The Old Ancestor summoned a giant Kraken made of water and used it as its shield while trying to cast the strong poison outside of its body.
Wanting to play around with the bastard, I summoned my own Familiar, the [Thunderstorm Phoenix] which immediately flew towards the Kraken, attacking with its strong thundering beak. It seems that just like in games, water monsters are weak to thunder monsters.
BOOOM! BOOOM! SPARK!
\”Squaaaaack!!!\”
The Thunderstorm Phoenix raised its beak as it attacked the Kraken head with a strong lighting slash.
BOOM!
\”Guuuoooohhh!!!\”
The Kraken couldn't even resist a second attack as it crumbled on the ground, becoming a formless mass of water, uncovering the worried and sick Old Ancestor.
As the poison kept spreading on his boy, it began to create horrible wounds all over it, secreting purple-colored puss and slowly decomposing him.
\”Oceanic Spirits! HEAL! HEAL! HEAL!\”
As much as it tried to heal itself, the rooting wounds reappeared.
I commanded my [Arms of Demise] to attack him with all they had. Suddenly, more than ten gigantic demonic arms began to punch and destroy the entire cave, while the Old Ancestor tried to run away while multi-tasking, casting powerful water spells. He managed to destroy up to five [Arms of Demise], however, more were being created.
\”Gaah! HEAL! HEAL! Uungh! W-Why it doesn't go away?!\”
Using the opportunity of his distraction over his own wounds reappearing, I flew using my Illusion Cloak alongside [Stealth] and [Camouflage]. However, the bastard detected me in time as it dodged my [Arms of Demise], it summoned more than one hundred Lower Sea Serpents over me.
\”G-Get away!\”
I raised my six arms while slashing the current of sea serpents while using my ultimate techniques in conjunction with [Destructive Demon of Lust Catastrophic Rampage], creating powerful combo attacks that increased in power with each technique.
In three seconds, once again I approached the man. I couldn't resist the urge to smile while imagining how tasty would the meat of this ancient prey would be!
I want to eat him!
My [Insatiable Appetite] finally kicked in, filling my mind only with the thoughts about devouring this prey.
I easily noticed a clear tiredness on the bastard, after sustaining so many wounds, even after healing them, the mental fatigue alongside the stamina consumption will be colossal.
\”H-How could this be?! I am the King of the East Ocean! Caspian, you bastard children! You didn't tell me the full extent of this monster!\”
The old man struggled as it flew around, evading my [Arms of Demise] while throwing sea serpents and destructive torrents of water towards me.
I managed to counter most of his attacks with my techniques alone, but those Oceanic Currents needed two [Arms of Demise] to successfully block them without losing momentum.
To satiate my hunger, I began to devour the thousands of sea serpents that he threw at me, they were delicious, having a strong fish taste. However, they didn't gave any skills, perhaps I need to eat more than one hundred to get anything from them.
The Old Ancestor saw with horror as I devoured his summoned creatures.
\”D-Demon! Get away from me! Arcane Oceanic Magic: Atlantis Fall!\”
FLASH!
Suddenly, countless magic circles appeared over the bastard as they began to fuse together, until a massive one remained, this single magic circle slowly began to open as if it were a gate connecting to the actual ocean, and then, a destructive flow of water clashed over my entire body, even more than ten [Arms of Demise] couldn't handle the powerful pressure.
\”S-Shit!\”
BOOOOM!
When the Old Ancestor saw that I disappeared after taking his ultimate attack, he began to laugh.
\”Haha! I-I did it! I defeated such a strong being! I defeated that Realm Menace!\”
However, I managed to avoid the attack thanks to the sacrifice of all my [Arms of Demise], and slowly flew with my Illusion Cloak to his back while the idiot laughed at his triumph.
And then, using my Nether Sword and the Ollathir Demon Sword, two slashes were enough to completely shatter his magic coat alongside his two arms.
SLASH! SLASH!
\”Gyaaaahhh!!! H-How?! Ugh! My arms! G-Get away! Get awaaay!\”
The one who called himself the Overlord of the East Ocean looked at me with extreme fear, while trying to struggle for his life.
\”Oh? Is this the correct behavior that the revered Old Ancestor should have?\”
I tightly grabbed the mermen with my own tentacles alongside [Shadow Binding] and my own fluids, which showed themselves as a red slime.
\”Gyaaah! No! No!\”
I couldn't contain myself anymore, the hunger became greater. So quickly chopped off his lower fish half, as a bloom of blood-covered my armor.
The Old Ancestor entrails began to spur out, releasing a delicious and enchanting bloody smell.
\”Gyyaaah! It hurts! I'm going to die?! N-No! H-HEAL!\”
However, there was no heal. I managed to seal his magic with several [Anti-Magic Seals] the moment I grabbed him with my tentacles.
\”W-Why it doesn't work…? You damned… Outsider…\”
It was rather fun to see him struggle this much, even when he already had his arms, and lower fish half completely severed, he certainly had a strong life force.
I mercifully finished him off with my Nether Sword, cutting his entire head into tiny pieces with several sword techniques, every piece was of perfect bite-size, ideal for a kick snack.
[You gained 1205300 EXP]
[You gained two levels!] [LEVEL 64/70 EXP 0145237/1120000]
[You obtained a new Title]
[Overlord of the East Ocean]
This was a rather unexpected meal, but a welcomed one. I never expected that I would have the revered Old Ancestor as tonight dinner.
I saved the Old Ancestor pieces as I settled on the cave floor.
It was a rather beautiful cave decorated with several colorful crystals and gems. I could even see various Water Spirit Stones laying on the walls.
I slowly drank the delicious and sweet blood of the Old Ancestor, which contained an incredible fish flavor alongside a godly sweetness.
[You gained +120 Blood Strength]
[Super Natural Blood Vitality] has leveled from 7 > 9]
[Your Bloodline has successfully evolved into [Ancient Arcane Oceanic Merman Overlord] blood]
Hm, now that I think about it, didn't he said something about absorbing her descendant? Was he talking about Belle? Did he really do such a thing?
After drinking his blood, I slowly devoured the Old Ancestor tasty soul, which was stored inside my Nether Sword.
His soul was quite strong on its own, being of Rank 2, so it actually put some resistance. I had to use several of my Soul related skills to immobilize the soul in place.
[You gained +100 in each Soul Stat and +18% Soul Mutation Ratio]
Ding!
[Your soul has increased to Rank 3]
Just as I got the notification, I felt my whole soul slowly expanding, as if it were another body inside my own. I could feel that it was way more solid and sturdy than before.
It seems that our destructive battle caused a big earthquake all over the Kingdom, probably the entire Kingdom must be freaking out right about now.
Hm, but first, I will have my meal.
I began snacking on the Old Ancestor head that I cut into pieces while I fried the previously cut into slices lower fish half of my prey.
I added some spices and salt, after some minutes, the meat was ready. It tasted like the most high-quality tuna I've ever eaten… It was simply heavenly; the meat was tender and even melted on my mouth.
As I kept eating, I felt a strong force flowing through my body, slowly increasing my strength.
After two hours, I had completely devoured the entire Old Ancestor, the only things remaining were his golden-colored staff. I gained several new skills from advanced magic that I've never seen before, showing the amazing strength of this being.
[You learned the following Skills]
[Blessing of the Merman God of Oceans Poseidon]
[Blessing of the Demi-God of Aquatic Beasts Ieyar]
[Oceanic Orb of The Merman Old Ancestor]
[Ancient Oceanic Merman Flesh and Blood]
[Both Arms that Summon the Raging Oceans]
[Ancient Merman Foresight]
[Information Sealing and Enhanced Appraisal Blocking]
[Aquamarine Golden Bracelet: Sea Serpents Guardians]
[Arcane Oceanic Magic: Iceberg Spears Rain]
[Arcane Oceanic Magic: Leviathan's Shield]
[Arcane Oceanic Magic: Oceanic Spirits Mystical Heal]
[Arcane Oceanic Magic: Poseidon Catastrophe]
[Arcane Oceanic Magic: Atlantis Fall]
[Arcane Oceanic Familiar Summoning: Splashing Sea Serpents]
[Arcane Oceanic Mythical Familiar Summoning: Three-Headed Leviathan]
[Arcane Oceanic Familiar Summoning: Ancient Ocean Spirit Kraken]
I'm sure he had more Skills than what I got, but there isn't a second Old Ancestor to devour, sadly.
Hmm, perhaps the fight would have been way longer if I held back at the start, but after knowing that he had the strength to possibly kill me if I lowered my guard, I ended up going all out.
The golden-colored staff had the form of two sea snakes entangling against each other, which was beautifully decorated with several Water Spirit Stones and was a [Legendary] class item. The Staff name was [Oceanic Serpentine Staff] and had [The Merman God of Oceans: Poseidon Blessing].
Well, the Blessing is pointless as I already got the blessing from eating him anyways.
The Skills I got seem incredibly powerful, and there were some new Familiars to devour too, but that will need to be moved for another day.
After cleaning my bloody clothes, I slowly flew to the surface.
