Chapter 98 - Giganto (1/2)

The unknown creature crashed into the underside of the ship, sending it flying into the sky, smashing through many layers of the shielding just shy of the last few as it followed the launched ship out of the water.

The now airborne ship was hurtling through the sky ever higher, doing a few spins along the way, allowing everyone on board to witness not only the monster but how far from the ground/sea they were getting.

There would have been endless screams to listen to if Theoric hadn't encased them so tightly. The only screams anyone heard was their own.

The creature resembled a giant s.p.e.r.m whale over 150' long with the only notable difference besides the size were 4 large appendages, two at its rear for legs, and two in the front for arms.

Theoric looked down at the behemoth as the ship flipped over, watching it open its jaws in an attempt to catch them for when they came back down.

Seeing his chance he instantly started to create giant spears, shooting them down the gullet of the beast which wailed in agony with its whale-like noises.

He then detached his legs from the ship, pushing himself down towards the creature, punching it right in the nose, only for the blubber to render the impact all but meaningless as it didn't affect it at all.

The others watched on helplessly as they prayed for their lives.

Their upward momentum coming to an end as they began the fall back down.

Theoric jumped off the whale, back towards the boat to help stabilize it, and once again reinforce the shields so they wouldn't die on impact.

Seeing they were falling towards the same area as the whale which was already breaching back into the water causing a giant splash and a huge amount of upturned water, making the sea chaotic.

Theoric concentrated his energy keeping the ship upright and willing it to move away to a safer area to land.

It's been a while since he worked himself so hard outside of training. Still feeling great, and ready to go, he grinned, enjoying the results of his work,

It was a good thing too since the whale monster wanted revenge. Surfacing it glared at the tiny boat, straight at the man who injured it.

Theoric heard the whale roar as it angrily splashed the water with its hands, still feeling the painful damage the spears caused to its insides.

The ladies wanted to be free to help, but Theoric was far too busy to pay them any mind as he prepared for the next charge.

Sigyn used her ring's telepathic connection- 'Theo...'

'Not now Sigyn! It's coming back.' Theoric said staring at the whale monster picking up speed to ram them from behind.

After Reinforcing as best he could, he maneuvered the sails to catch what wind it could, so the ship would begin moving to help reduce any rear impact. Patiently waiting for the whale to get closer as he began to apply more protection to the back while simultaneously extending it to a point. Not forgetting to secure his legs to the ship again so he doesn't get separated.

By the time the whale reached them, Theoric made the entire back into one big spike that impaled itself into the whale's blubber as it smacked into them.

The spike was just long enough to make it past its blubbering defense and inflict pain, forcing the whale to stop as it instinctively shook its head to get the ship off while failing to reach the front of its face with its arms as it widely swung them around trying to remove it.
