Chapter 584: Sary vs. Ultimates (1/2)

Sary raised her gigantic tail and slammed it into the middle of the Grand Lake. As long as she didn't attack the Striders, they wouldn't care about her.

BOOOOM!

Water splashed into the horizons as she destroyed a big part of an Empire of the sea beasts, and countless beasts died during this one attack. Sary didn't care about these beasts. She only attacked the Empire to force the Ultimates to fight her.

”Fight me! All of you!” she shouted as her voice shook the water.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Three beasts shot out of the water with incredible speed. One of them was a seabass with legs and arms. In his hand, he carried the broken-off pike of a swordfish.

When Gravis saw that, his eyes shone. 'Orthar has already told the Ultimates about human weapons. His influence has truly grown.'

Another Ultimate was a giant octopus with an unreal amount of tentacles. He looked less like an octopus and more like some of these microorganisms that looked like balls with tentacles. Gravis was sure that this wasn't Orthar since the octopus didn't feel familiar at all. Additionally, Gravis was sure that Orthar wouldn't have chosen such a form.

The third Ultimate was a grey lobster but with a lot of additional shears. This Ultimate didn't only have lobster shears, but also shrimp shears and crab shears.

Every kind of shear could be used as a different weapon, and Gravis got reminded of Meadow's true form when he saw it. Meadow had also had a lot of different kinds of weapons on her. Of course, this lobster couldn't truly be compared to Meadow.

Silence reigned for a couple of seconds. Yet, Gravis was sure that the Ultimates were communicating. They probably tried to determine if they had run into a trap and if some other Ultimates would get involved.

Gravis was still a bit confused about Sary's sudden, unprovoked action. Why had she suddenly decided to attack the sea Ultimates out of nowhere? They had just talked, and then she already attacked.

After a minute had passed, Gravis saw the octopus going forward. They probably didn't accept that Sary wanted to fight all of them. If they killed her together, they wouldn't get any tempering.

Then, the octopus and Sary clashed.

Sary continually charged at the octopus while he hit and cut her with his tentacles. He was using the tentacles as whips, as spears, and as swords. Additionally, he used some longer tentacles to hold her.

Sary's body violently thrashed around, and she cut off one tentacle after the other with her tail and fangs. Whenever she managed to bite one of the tentacles, the octopus pulled the tentacle off and threw it away, after which the tentacle transformed into black liquid. Apparently, Sary also had potent poison.

Injury after injury appeared on Sary's body, but her immense comprehension of the Life Laws allowed her to always regenerate herself to her peak condition.

After around an hour, the octopus was losing the battle. He had a water affinity, but Sary just tanked through the damage. Water didn't have a powerful offensive power, even when it turned to ice. Because of that, Sary easily outlasted the octopus. Her regeneration of Life Energy was probably even faster than her expenditure.

The stamina of a beast was terrifying. Beasts could fight with their bodies for days on end without getting exhausted. Yet, their small storage of Energy got exhausted pretty quickly. Beasts with an elemental affinity could unleash more powerful and more numerous attacks than beasts without an elemental affinity, but as soon as their Energy ran dry, they wouldn't have anything left to defend against a purely physical beast.

The other Ultimates watched on as the octopus was losing ground. The chances were high that he would lose the battle and die.

”When I'm done with him, I will kill you next! I won't rest until every sea Ultimate is dead!” Sary announced to the world.

Obviously, everyone knew that she only wanted to goad the other Ultimates to attack her so that she was under enough pressure to understand a level three Law. Yet, even though they knew that, what could they do? If they didn't attack her, she would definitely attack them.

In the end, they had no choice.

The second Ultimate got involved, which was the seabass with the swordfish pike. Just like Sary, this Ultimate didn't have an elemental affinity.

In the beginning, the octopus and the sea bass both attacked Sary simultaneously and managed to inflict a horrifying amount of injuries on her. Yet, even though Sary's organs had been displayed time and time again by the terrifying cuts, they always regenerated. It was like she just couldn't die.

Half an hour later, the fighting style of the two Ultimates changed. Instead of simply attacking Sary, they actually employed tactics. The seabass confronted Sary directly and went into a terrifying brawl with her while the Octopus regenerated and healed the seabass from time to time with his water element.

Then, they continued fighting for another three hours.

After these three hours, Sary's injuries didn't heal as quickly anymore. Yet, she had also managed to exhaust the octopus even more. It wasn't that she attacked him but that her devastating attacks on the seabass forced the octopus to use more Life Energy than he could regenerate.

The difference in power was apparent.

Yet, why was Sary as powerful as two Ultimates at once?

The answer was pretty simple. Sary was the oldest beast and the third oldest being in this world. She had comprehended a ton of level two Laws in her life, but sadly no level three Laws. She simply knew many more Laws than the regular Ultimate.

If one compared her lifespan to a human's, Sary would count as a nearly 100-year-old great-grandma. Her age was so terrifyingly ancient that, by normal standards, she shouldn't be alive anymore.
