Chapter 149: The Fourth Power
The clash between giants raised many waves that impacted the shore repeatedly, scraping off the sand and stones layer by layer.
Right now Kirk was gladdened by the fact that the giant beasts had not approached the the coastal waters. Otherwise, the manor itself would’ve been flooded by seawater.
The giant beasts’ roars were as heavy as muffled thunder, or as sharp as whistles, and they caused wariness among the people on the shore. Their voices alone were capable of bringing tremendous pressure. This was the true difference between a deep sea giant beast and other fishes. Even a large group of shoals would not be able to maintain their formation under one gigantic roar.
But this was only true for the shoals and human beings. For the gray cat, it meant something else.
They are too arrogant! The gray cat thought, these fellows are so arrogant they saw no man – no, no cat – above them at all! (E/n: one ring to rule them all)
The gray cat did not transform and maintained the form of a kitten. However, long knife claws elongated from its paws instead.
The average blade or firearm could not threaten these big fellows in any way, but there were seriously not many beasts that could come away from the gray cat’s claws unscathed.
Its scythe-like knife claws had cut open the giant beast’s body surface directly, but because its skin was too thick the claws failed to harm its insides. The gray cat narrowed its eyes as the knife claws on its paws became much elongated and enlarged once more. In comparison to the eight knife claws, the gray cat’s little body appeared much, much tinier. From a certain angle, the gray cat was even invisible to the naked eye. All a person would be able to see was eight brandishing huge knife claws.
When its skin surface was finally cut open, the nerves of the damaged area transmitted pain to the giant beast and upset them, causing the clashes and attacks to grow even more intense than before. What followed was even bigger sea waves and all sorts of roars that resonated throughout the world.
The fishes who failed to escape in time had died from shattered organs caused by shock, and there were no living fishes at all within a wide sea region. The Feniers Family and Binger Family members had all retreated above the shore and activated a counteracting sound wave to protect themselves from the shock. Another thing that deserved rejoicing was that the manor’s defense shields had been repaired a few minutes earlier ahead of time, so the activated defense shields were able to block off most of the sound wave attacks let out by the sea beasts.
Although the sound wave attacks were reduced, the people inside the manor could hear the terrifying roars clearly all the same. The sound waves shook everyone until they felt cold from the bottom of their hearts. Every hair on their bodies were trembling along with the roars.
Tang Qiuqiu was far more composed as compared to Tobo, Emma and Rost. She continued to play her game and hold a lollipop in her mouth as before, causing Tobo and the duo to shower her with strange looks.
The monitoring devices and equipment within the coastal waters had all been affected and malfunctioned. There was no way for Castella and Kirk to know what kind of battle was going on on the sea.
One by one, as the gray cat clawed the sea beasts and caused their wounds to increase non-stop, the sea beasts’ roars grew louder and louder, and their actions grew more and more violent as well. Some sea beasts had their limbs bitten off, and others had torn fins or large sections of scales ripped off their bodies… the scene was as stunning as it looked.
Cry, cry, what the fur are you guys crying about! So noisy!
The gray cat was already in a bad mood in the first place, and now the roars disturbed it so much that even its whiskers had turned taut.
Quit being so noisy!
The gray cat opened its mouth.
Amidst these messy roars, a single beast roar suppressed nearly all other voices and impacted the sea beasts that were in close range to lose chunks of flesh from their bodies. All of the monitoring devices within the coastal waters that were already malfunctioning due to the interferences were blasted to bits by the shockwave, and on the shore those who remained on land fainted right away after hearing the roar. Meanwhile inside the spaceplanes, control panels experienced system failures, and the screens of dashboards and monitoring panels exploded. The vehicles were forced to land on ground. Inside the manor, every screen on every electronic panel were displaying static lines, and more than fifty percent of electromagnetic equipment were in a near catatonic state.
And this was the result after the gray cat had exercised some restraint upon remembering Cillin’s words. Otherwise, none of the equipment inside the manor could’ve survived.
What on earth happened? This was what everybody upshore was thinking about. It was also the cause of their irritation, anxiety and unstable emotions. They had never encountered such a situation in Planet Zafia until today.
Warsaw and the other New Europeans felt stifled for a moment, whereas the captured tamer had almost fallen into a stupor.
Warsaw and the tamer were familiar with deep sea beasts, and they both knew that there shouldn’t be any deep sea beasts that had reached such heights of power on this planet. Although the giants on this planet could be categorised as overlords of the deep sea, on a few other rank B planets in Sector H where their surface was almost covered in sea, they could only be considered as small fries who went on stage simply to go through the motions. The owner of the voice that caused system failures across electromagnetic devices was definitely comparable to those true overlords.
Originally, the gray cat was planning to chase these fellows to the distant sea by force, but it did not expect that these big fellows would actually slip away like the meek fish they were; they were escaping from their natural enemy after just a venting roar. To these big fellows, the only place that could give them security was their home territory, so they were now going back where they came from.
When the gray cat saw that the sea beasts had all dragged their maimed bodies and slipped away, it shook its ears and withdrew its claws. When the gray cat saw that no one was sent over from the shore, it then swam towards the distant seas to chase after Cillin and the tamer.
Returning to Cillin. Cillin had been chasing after the tamer for quite a distance, and at first the distance between the duo didn’t shrink by much, but the tamer did not manage to shake Cillin off either. Then, gradually, the tamer’s stamina fell off. Controlling the shoals had already expended a portion of their strength, and now they were doing everything they could to escape. Their stamina gradually lost steam.
However, just when Cillin pulled closer and closer to the tamer, a few thorns were suddenly shot towards him from the front.
