Chapter 335 - Unparalleled Heat. (2/2)

Now he couldn't help but feel like maybe using it was a bad idea.

”I need to clear my mind…” John muttered as he stopped the flying platform

He got up and stood by the edge before vanishing, leaving a trace of darkness behind.

It was his most used move, shadow step. It allowed him to teleport to anywhere and everywhere with footing within a 200 meter radius. It used to be 50 meters but he was able to train it to increase the distance.

A useful ability with the only downside being it only worked during his possessed state and you weren't able to teleport too far into the air. The range was 200M only on ground, while in the air it was 20 meters at most. Unless, you could use the person as footing or  there were objects big enough to use as footing in the air.

It was only after shadow stepping however, that John remembered. They were in the middle of the ocean.

'!?'

*Splash!*

John went plummeting into the ocean, creating a small wave shock wave as he did.

However, that didn't slow him down one bit as the moment he had entered the sea. He quickly began his move, swimming down wards while using aqua to propel himself.

He could sense other life forms in the vicinity thanks to both 'possession' and his search spell.

It was thanks to it, that he noticed something unusual lurking in between the water.

John could breathe freely thanks to the increase of his magic control. He could freely exchange the gases in his body by removing the carbon dioxide from his mouth into the water and taking the oxygen molecules from the water and s.u.c.k.i.n.g it in through his nose.

Again, he would separate it, so he would essentially be breathing underwater. He didn't have a name for this move Asa it was a rather simple process which he could do subconsciously.

***

He continued to descend More and more until he eventually reached the sea floor. It wasn't that far down as they were not that far off from the coast, but it was still quite far.

John had seen sharkicorn and dolwhales and other strange sea creatures on the way down, but ignored them all for he was looking for something in particular.

Prawns. John had already collected a few small ones on the way and put them inside a water bubble above his head. But he could feel an unusual presence similar to that of prawns at the sea floor. Just a few meters away from him.

He looked turned his head around and noticed that it was trying to mask it's presence. The sea floor was completely dark as well, giving it an advantage.

However, such an advantage wouldn't work on someone like John, who lived his daily life in darkness.

John felt five, no six distortions in the water around him. And quickly shadow stepped away, from the area only to feel water piercing the area where he was standing before.

Whatever had tried to attack him, noticed that it had missed as it was able to clearly feel his presence. Because of this, it then formed an underwater vortex which began to drag and pull in the water nearby.

John shadow stepped again, in the opposite side of the water vortex and a tornado of water had already been formed waiting for him.

”…”

…

…

It was only then that he had remembered what Zestari had said.

'Understood.' John thought to himself.

[Water Removal] [Water Bubble]

Two spells casted in an instant. They didn't seem like they equated to much, but the result was unbelievable.

All the water within a two hundred meter radius, vanished. This left behind a huge underwater hemisphere without water. Following that, before the water around them could go back and fill hemisphere.

John casted water bubble which stopped the water from coming inside and reinforced the hemisphere.

A simple elementary class spell being used in such a way was unheard of. The spell water removal was also unable to be used in such a way due to the mana restrictions. Only John, who's mana pool whose size was undetermined would be able to perform such a feat.

A 200M hemisphere wasn't that big, he had already done it before when fighting the mermaids, the problem came in maintaining it. Being able to maintain it was the hard part.

Either way, it was worth it because it was now only John, the unusual sea creature which he had felt and a few fish which were dropping from the top of the hemisphere that were inside of it.

John quickly shadow stepped in front of the sea creature and he couldn't help but feel like drooling.

A gigantic prawn. Nearly 20 meters in length. John knew what he was cooking for dinner tonight.
