Chapter 174: The Culling Currents

SmittenKitten69 signs, "That was amazing how did you learn that?" She has never seen anybody fight like that it has this beautiful brutality to his movement. Everything on his body is a weapon she had never thought to use her racial attributes to help her in a fight. It also highlighted how strong Sirbye actually is. Like SKY Ocean Hunter the boss slow movements started to make sense. Where SkY OCea Hunter flowed the boss tried to interrupt him the big claw would at times use the flow to increase his speed suddenly and produce a large blast of water by slamming his claw together.

SKY Ocean Hunter signs, "it the natural way, the water is our ally." He of course doesn't explain that his own is amplified by water. His Moon cleric is water-based classed so being in the ocean makes him exponentially stronger. He doesn't want to dim her wonder by fully explains part of her growth will come from discovering how to take advantage of the water. The whole Pod lights up and is inspired they didn't know t was possible. 

Magmaheart signs, "Especially how you twisted your body and used your Dorcel fins to cut him.' In the water, he isn't a hulking mass he could express his brutality. Calypso though listen and looked in her mind his words stick out more she has always known SKY stood for something but Savage Killer would be the last thing on her mind. This is a part of him that few people get to see and she understands now the words of Lux more than ever. 

X2CU signs, "And did you see how the water flowed with him the more they fought the after it became faster." 

BABYMAKERXCREAM signs, "it's like the feeling flow, I saw a video of sky serpent doing something similar once but it was taken by the Sons of Ragnar guild. Those guys have these crazy battles in the sky." 

Calypso signs, "can we do something like that one?" She too is enamelled with the fight unlike on land she can move faster and is already thinking of ways she could the same fighting method. 

SKY Ocean Hunter signs, "Of course but first, we have to collect our rewards." 

Hakagure signs, " What rewards we didn't even do anything." While to her it seems that way SKY Ocean Hunter wasn't the one to initiate the battle or even attack first so the whole team has a chance to pick one chest. Their presence alone was enough, they look at him with unsure eyes. He simply goes to grab the most prominent chest. BABYMAKERXCREAM Had chosen the one with the symbol of the doot on it so she opens her to find another key in it.

BABYMAKERXCREAM Hands it to SKY Ocean Hunter and he trades her one of the items he just got.  An uncommon staff for summoners as a spirit caller she is the only one who can use it. It is double the number of spirits she can summoner and has a strong long-range attack. The pod quickly adds their items most of them just a weapon that is class-related. 

SKY Ocean Hunter signs, "I can't teach you the Felling FLow but the Culling Current is a Gorgon speciality."  He is going to show them their natural way of fight. The pod quickly moves on trying to find the way out. With two keys out of three, they only have one more to find. They are met by mobs. 

Calypso signs, "Are you going to join are just watch and teach." 

SKY Ocean Hutner smiles signing, "of course I'm going to join. Magmaheart I need you to feel it in the ocean you can leverage your class a little more."  The mobs are first stunned by McQueen being able to swim allows generating a greater current. She is closely followed by SmittenKitten69 who is swimming in her wake. She slashes at the mobs of Kirllites who are trying to swim away. However, with her speed already built up SmittenKitten69 can keep them encircled she is joined by SKY Ocean hunter and Hakagure who are the next biggest dorsal fins. They use it to cut and chop the flailing Krillete. 

The rest of the pod was following SKY Ocean Hunter swimming in a half-circle pattern. unfortunately, for the mob, they are all melee fighters and the simply overwhelmed by how they flow. As they try and swim about to match the Gorgon Pod they are stung by Spirits summoned by BABYMAKERXCREAM, SKY Ocean Hunter flashes for Hagakure to attack next being a spectre to can use the summoned spirits as leverage and in essence hop between them to make herself even more difficult to manage. Calypso quickly follows SKY Ocean Hunters examples and empowers the water they are controlling this not only makes it easier to see and follow but then carries her healing spell in it. 

As they swim they can allow picking the various basic loot items the Krillete are dropping and once out of combat. Instead of stopping SKY Ocean Hunter continues to swim at pace flashing colours they move together like a Pack of Parrihanes piercing, puncturing and killing anything they come across. This way reminds them of the waterways as a lot of the time they have to come together to form the Culling Currents. 

SKY Ocean Hunter is happy with the progress they are making they are able to swim through most of the mobs which is great since the purpose of this arena is for them to wipe all the mobs. Soon after passing the two hundredth kill by a wonderfully sinister spectre backstab. A golden counter to one thousand appeared. Finding them is not very hard and them being in groups of only fifty is really helpful. 

Calypso signs, "I glad you taught us this method just imagine how more difficult this would be." The Krilletes might seem easy to fight but keeping them in place is difficult. Calypso could only imagine how much tedious this would be if they had to chase each Krillete down. The Seashelled goblins called Krilleteare fat swimmers and without the Culling Current, she doesn't even want to think how many more hours they would have taken. 

McQueen sings, "I'm happier about the experience points at this speed I will be level thirty in no time." She wants to be able to go ranked dungeon hunting but she has found out that rank one is a level thirty challenge at her skill bracket. Like most of the girls in the pod, she mainly works out of an eight-person team. 

SmittenKitten69 signs, "Yeah it's really fantastic did you see how pulled one of them with my tail and let then let X2CU handle, was that by the way and can I learn it?" Right in the middle of the fight, the skill thatX2Cu used is one SmittenKitten69 has never seen before. The attack was more like living arms that she could control and she sliced up the Krillete that her rear tail choked. It is still a little odd fighting with her whole body but it is exciting. Her only complaint is that a Lamia is smooth scaled and thus no Dorsal fin

X2CU flashes a few colours a bit of embarrassment her weaves are still hard to handle but she modelled them after SKY Ocean Hunters palace which has given her a lease on attacking she had been too narrow-minded but now she is glad she came. SHe is benefitting in more ways than one. Plus being close to the leader is very exciting she has this thing about him when he is in a savage mode that is driving her hot. Swimming towards SmittenKitten69 she rubs up against smiling broadly letting her get a closer look at the spell. 

X2CU sings, "Maybe as your ascension perk you could learn it." 

BABYMAKERXCREAM says, "Don't even think about you can't plan that far ahead of it's nice to dream but don't dream so far." She had to use the system chat as she is busy going over the bodies of each Krillete they have a drop on their body that is like plump shrimp. She has gotten a small warehouse of them and she is happy to keep collecting their flesh. 

SKY Ocean Hunter signs, "We will be able to get through and head to the gate, some of those notes they drop say the control for the Blockade is in there. 

Calypso signs, "It's not the only thing we might die in there are you sure about it. If we explore some more we could find the key to control to controlling that power." 

Magmaheart signs, "We already have why do you think we took all those trials they were marking us." 

SmittenKitten69 sings, "What marks?" looking all over her body. Only when Magmaheart flashes an odd lumo green do the symbols become visible. 

McQueen signs, "Those symbols are on all of us?" her scales Shine as she checks herself out for these symbols. They link like a series of tattoos that has most of their pattern but clearly, some runes are omitted. 

SKY Ocean hunter nods then signs, "It's probably an ancient form of magic." This will porabbrly allow them to enter the central parts of the control room. Majesty uses a similar kind of casting to maintain most of her defensive passives. SKY Ocean Hunter doesn't understand the spellcraft behind it as it is, more like a complex form of scale weaving rather than a magic-based defence.
