Bang!
A collision of psychic powers created an explosion that shook the entire sea. The shockwave sent violent ripples on the surface of the water that slowly turned into raging waves that went in every direction.
Grimrace was flying in the air using levitation magic with his Psychic Powers. He was looking down from his position and glaring at the giant jellyfish below him.
Invisible ripples could be felt around him as he controlled his powers. Realizing that the Psychic Powers were not enough to take down this monster, he decided to use his elemental transformation.
'Elemental Transformation: Yasha Transformation'
With this transformation, his aura rose sharply. He released a suffocating pressure that immediately suppressed the one that the jellyfish monster possessed.
At the same time, he summoned his shadow powers, manifesting a huge group of shadow daggers in the air.
He spread his arms with his palms facing the sky. He seemed to be acting like some sort of god before waving his hands forward and hugging the air with his arms.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Quickly after that, a hail of shadow daggers and knives fell from the sky and rained down on the giant jellyfish. They left a series of intertwining lines in the air as they fell and produced sharp sounds that cut through the wind.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The jellyfish tried to block the falling shadow knives with its psychic powers, but Grimrace controlled each one of them very skillfully, changing their trajectory mid-flight before proceeding to attack at a tricky angle.
Some of the shadow knives collided with the psychic barrier, but there was still a lot that managed to bypass it and landed on the body of the monster as well as its tentacles.
But despite how strong the impact was, the giant jellyfish seemed to be completely unaffected. Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be an invisible layer of aura right above the skin of the monster, protecting it.
Swoosh!
Raising its tentacles, the jellyfish pointed them at Grimrace, who was in the air, before shooting beams of light from their tip.
Grimrace quickly responded and did a series of aerial maneuvers to dodge while also waving his hands to send his shadow knives down.
After dodging for quite a while and realizing that he was being pushed back once again, Grimrace suddenly paused while extending his hand above. He opened his hand wide while summoning his Psychic Powers and slamming it down immediately after.
Swoosh!
A huge invisible hand was formed above Grimrace before slamming down along with his actions.
Bang!
The invisible hand collided against an invisible barrier, preventing it from going further. Then the aftershock from the impact sent the water flying in the air, creating a curtain as high as the stone wall in the distance.
Grimrace made a grabbing motion as he maintained his extended arm. Following his actions, the huge invisible hand made of Psychic Powers suddenly tightened, grabbing onto the barrier of the jellyfish.
After that, Grimrace gritted his teeth as he put a lot of strength on his arms, lifting the jellyfish along with its barrier.
Realizing what the abomination was trying to do, the jellyfish suddenly started moving crazily, slamming its tentacles around and creating more curtains of water.
With the water that was sent in the air, the jellyfish used its powers to form a giant spear that was pointing at Grimrace.
Swoosh!
In the meantime, in the headquarters of the World Gaming Organization, Carlos was currently inside his office, sitting on his chair and looking at the report that had just been given to him.
He leaned back on the chair, looked at the ceiling, then closed his eyes before massaging his temples.
He was completely exhausted and suffering from a serious headache.
He was wondering whether a certain player was his nemesis in his past life or something. He felt that whenever everything was getting a little better, the worst possible event always happened, and the center of everything was this particular player.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at the screen projected in front of him before turning back the report that was given to him by Lohengrin.
"Why is this stupid monster in his territory and become part of the Territorial Quest?" mumbled Carlos as he repeatedly read the report.
He could not blame the man in question either as it was not the fault of the player. Shin was supposedly doing his own thing when the sea monster entered his territory intending to invade it.
However, this event would cause a serious problem for them as this sea monster possessed something that was supposedly a crucial item for a main scenario quest.
Carlos could already see what was going to happen after this.
Shin would kill the sea monster, get the Sea Soul, use it to promote one of his Elemental Spirit Companions, and then get another overpowered Elemental Being after.
That was something very good for Shin, too beneficial even, especially when he would get almost all his Elemental Spirit Companions into a Supreme Spirit or Monarch Elemental.
With that number, Shin would most likely trigger another major event by accident if this continued.
That was just one of the problems, and it was quite acceptable since they were already somewhat used to it.
He had been doing these crazy things from time to time now, so the people of the World Gaming Organization were somewhat numbed to it.
But the real trouble came after he killed the Sea King and got the Sea Soul as that monster and natural treasure was supposedly meant for another quest.
It was something that certain factions needed to save someone – an important NPC related to a main quest scenario of the game.
If Shin acquired the Sea Soul and used it to promote his abomination spirit afterward, then the Sea Soul, a rare natural treasure, would be lost. This would lead to a delay on the side of the main quest scenario, or worse, lead to the death of that NPC.
This would then result in the deletion of a series of quests related to that main quest scenario. All the hard work and effort of the different departments when designing that Main Scenario Quest would be wasted.
The worst part of this was the game developers could not get involved in this matter and could only watch while hoping that a miracle would happen and save them.
The very person, who saved them from their earlier predicament, was now back to being 'himself' and become their mortal enemy.
"Is it guaranteed that the main quest scenario will be deleted once he acquired that item? Or will it create another path for the other side?" he mumbled as he thought of the Super AI Chronos.
He heard that the chairman had recently updated the system of the game, making it more advanced and improving its ability to calculate different outcomes within the game.
Due to the recent events that happened within the game, particularly some of the accidents that gave the World Gaming Organization a lot of problems, the chairman had come up with this solution.
Carlos just hoped that it would be enough.
But if it was not-...
Just the thought of it made Carlos miserable.
He then turned to other virtual screens, which were showing two Miracle Players. He stared at them for a moment before praying. "Let's just hope that these two will create their respective miracle and save us from this."
