524 A sWhalesome” Loo (1/2)
Jiang Fei calmed down and stopped punching the Manta as it was already dying. He immediately came to his senses and realized the danger of dying at any second. Instantly, he activated the Wave Force Armor's Wave Barrier that could help reduce all incoming damage for thirty seconds. However, this puny barrier could only sustain one or two attacks from the Void Manta before breaking it. Even so, it was still extremely useful in dire situations, such as now.
The barrier that 0541 had erected was left with only 1% integrity. One more attack would instantly shatter it. If, however, the barrier was not destroyed, 0541 could restore the barrier's integrity over time. Restarting the barrier would take a long time and Jiang Fei would almost certainly die in less than a second if the barrier was destroyed.
Once Wave Barrier was put on, Jiang Fei relaxed even more and paid attention to the dying Void Manta. After countless punches landed on the Void Manta, Jiang Fei had dealt a substantial amount of damage to blind the beast in both eyes. Additionally, the Void Manta was punched into an unconscious state. Its attacks were not intentional but of instinct. Even so, if Jiang Fei continued to deliver punches after punches, Jiang Fei would die before the Manta did.
When Jiang Fei was in trance, he had attacked the Manta continuously for more than a minute. The current condition of the Void Manta was fatal. If it was a human, it would have died so many times over. On the other hand, this unworldly beast would not only recover with time, but it could also regrow its lost eyes!
Knowing that, Jiang Fei would naturally not want the beast to recover at all.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”Time to die!”
With a conscious mind, Jiang Fei had decided to rely on the sword's attack instead of punching blindly. At most, the Armor Piercing Cannon could be used again in less than a minute.
”Armor Piercing Cannon ready to be used sir,” said 0541.
”Hasta la vista, baby!”
Jiang Fei triggered the sword and a powerful beam blasted off.
The sword was still halfway through the Manta. The ”muzzle” of the sword was right inside the Void Manta and if Jiang Fei fired the sword, it would be more than a point-blank range; a literal implosion!
Just after Jiang Fei had fired the Armor Piercing Cannon, the Void Manta expanded like a balloon that was about to explode. Contrary to what Jiang Fei had expected, the Void Manta did not collapse inward but expanded! At this point, the only thing that was keeping the Void Manta from exploding was its tough external carapace-like skin.
Even though Jiang Fei could not see anything from the outside, the insides of the Manta was completely mushed. As strong as a being was, once the insides of the Void Manta was destroyed, it immediately perished without too much of a squeak.
”Congratulations, Captain! You have defeated the enemy,” 0541 reported after scanning the Manta to make sure that it was dead and stayed that way.
”Phew… That was an unworldly battle…”
Being inside the wetsuit, Jiang Fei could tell that he was literally swimming in his own sweat. 0541 detected that and immediately expelled it from his suit. Only after the battle was over did Jiang Fei finally realized that he was too reckless. If he had not snapped back to reality earlier, Jiang Fei would have been killed by the Void Manta.
The Wave Barrier that was erected remained undamaged for thirty seconds and in that time, 0541 had managed to restore the barrier integrity to 15%. Although it was still fragile as it was, Jiang Fei was safe to dive as long as he did not take any attacks.
”How much is your power reserves?” asked Jiang Fei as he continued to dive.
”It's less than 30%, Captain. Restoring the barrier would still require me to use 5% more power,” said 0541.
”Alright,” Jiang Fei replied and nodded. Restoring the barrier was important to him as it was the only thing that separated him and certain crushing death.
”Captain, it is recommended to store the corpse of the Void Manta. It is a good material for me to make you a potion to further increase your strength!” said 0541 before Jiang Fei leaving the corpse.
