Chapter 20 - The 3 Clan Heads.

It did not take long before Leroy's chief guard brought his battle gear. The gear consisted of heavy armor to cover his shell and 6 battle hammers. That was all, but after he donned it, he looked like a medieval knight in armor.

This gear was his most valuable possession. During his years of wandering, he had this forged in the great city of crabs- the master forgers.

Legend says that the crabs have even more of a talent for forging than the best craftsmen of Atlantis. Some people believe that this is a myth, but Leroy believed otherwise, having used this gear for 2 decades already.

He rubbed the armor with his scaly hands. "Buddy, let's go smash them one last time".

He jumped from the vantage point of his clan head chair the next moment. With the hammers held tightly in his hand, he started swimming rapidly in the direction of the ongoing battlefield.

He was too big for others not to notice him, not that he cared though as he bulldozed a pathway through his clan members straight to where the opposing clan members were clustered.

As their clan head rushed out, his loyal guards did not slack as they also swam out in pursuit of him. They were not geared for battle like him, but they similarly had their own weapons of war.

Getting to the main part of the battlefield, Leroy's body suddenly started glowing a pure white. Extra scales filled his turtle body, his body seemed to have expanded as his grip on all 4 hammers became firmer. Then…

The water swept away like a flood, carrying astonishing power with it as all 6 hammers smashed down at the same time. All 5 fishes that stood on his part directly burst into a mixture of blood and mutilated flesh.

Clack!

Leroy felt a wolffish's sharp teeth biting on his back immediately, but his magical shield repelled it. Smoothly turning around, he waved one of the hammers and easily swatted the fellow the death.

The Sting tailers recognized the leader of their enemies immediately upon seeing him. Despite being vastly weaker than him, the brainless fishes still hauled themselves at him and Leroy was ready to crush them all.

Whoosh!

He didn't even need to swim, a magic field surrounded him that navigated him to wherever he wanted to go. All he had to do was swing his hammers, and they effectively did the smashing job.

He became the shining light of the battlefield soon after showing up, smashing left and right as he penetrated deeper into the ranks of fishes and sea creatures.

From his fighting style, it was clear that he had only the material magic organ. His magics were mainly used to affect his surroundings, not directly used on himself as buffs.

He didn't have impressive magic like throwing fireballs or lightning because of his low-tier bloodline, but the ones he had as a turtle were still impressive.

He wasn't the only shining light on the battlefield though, Big Group leading his troop of elite soldiers equally fought ferociously as they exchanged blows with the soldiers of the Sting Tail clan.

Unlike his master, Big Group had the physical magic organ. All his attacks were empowered by magic, his bites harder and more vicious, his hits heavier, everything about him had that extra more.

Crunch!

He quickly rotated his body and attacked behind, crushing the poor codfish to death with his suċkɨnġ-like magic ability.

His lack of impressive teeth for biting, he complimented for them with his strong body for battering attacks and his suċkɨnġ like magic ability. None of his skills were weak, they could deal astronomical damage to opponents.

All around him, his soldiers were not idle as they attacked the opponents fiercely. They were clearly outnumbered, compared to the opponents they were dying faster but they never contemplated retreating.

Fight till you die, then you get rest; that was their motto.

Back in Leroy's side, as the euphoric feeling of battle gradually took over him, he suddenly stiffened as he felt 2 sharp gazes on his back. The Viper and his ultimate enemy were finally making their move.

He did not cower, he did not try to scheme anything, he just steered his swimming direction around as his magic propelled him forward like he was an underwater speed boat.

As soon as they came close enough, Leroy suddenly released his hammers and folded his body inside his shell.

Hum!

The hammers did not fly away, with a strange sound they were controlled by his magic as they swiped wildly at the water. Suddenly, his shell started rotating at an extremely high speed.

His white magic power covered his shell, it grew brighter and brighter before his shell rushed forward the next moment.

Already anticipating it, the stingray dodged on time but one of the enormous hammers still hammered him on the head.

This did not prevent it from retaliating though, its dangerous tail calmly calculated the swim speed and trajectory before stabbing forward the next moment.

Bzzz!

The tail entered the hole in between Leroy's shells and touched his body. He shuddered as electrical current went through him, making him stiffen. Before he could recover, he felt the viper rapidly wrapping around his shell.

He activated his magic ability immediately.

His shell vibrated like a super machine, sending tyrannical shockwaves through his armor to the snake's body as the fellow quickly gave up and let him go.

When the Viper finally recovered from the shock and turned back, the turtle was nowhere to be found. The stingray tried to alert her but was not fast enough, all 6 of Leroy's hammers came smashing down.

Bam! Straight to the head!

Stars practically filled the Viper's head as the magic empowered hammers slammed down at her head hard. Before she could recover, Leroy still hidden in his shell appeared and slammed at her again.

After doing this, Leroy suddenly stiffened and tried to dodge but he was not fast enough.

Having charged the electricity mana, the stingray opened its mouth wide and shot it out. Leroy ġrȯȧnėd as the electric bolt penetrated his armor into his shell before quickly spreading to the rest parts of his body like slithering snakes.

The stingray rapidly swam closer for a sting as electricity crackled around it, before it could get close Leroy disappeared again. This was the same magic skill that he used to spook Sebastian during their first meeting.

As the stingray was on guard against it, when Leroy reappeared, he was not able to do anything. As he tried to reorient himself for another battle strategy, he felt a pair of sharp fangs digging into his hard shell.

The Viper quickly wrapped him up again, this time faster than he could react as it started squeezing immediately. Cracking sounds reverberated.

Leroy felt the pressure but he did not succumb, he could see the stingray swimming closer but this did not bring him to the edge of despair. The conviction still shone in his eyes, conviction to try harder.

Boom! His bright magic power flared again and knocked hard at the Viper's hard skin, penetrating a few parts like magic daggers were drilled through it.

As soon as he escaped from the Viper's grip, he did not run, he immediately turned back and their battle began again.
