Chapter 182 First Trial [End] [1]

"It's today..."

I patted over the vials of elixirs hanging on my waist while looking at the four leviathans flying in the sky.

Those monsters were gazing down from above, watching my every action with scrutiny.

"Fish Hunt Decree...."

I jumped on top of a 58 meters long Spear and aimed it at those monsters.

"....starts now!"

Booom-!

The Spear shot toward the monsters.

It passed the 500-meter boundary in a few seconds.

Waaaaaaooooooo- (x4)

The four leviathans roared and a gigantic sphere began forming in front of their maws.

Perhaps remembering Spear's destructive power from before, the monsters went all out from the beginning.

Waaaaaaooooooo- (x4)

A colossal water sphere was being created by the combined might of the four leviathans. It was larger than their bodies themselves.

The monsters threw the water sphere at me.

"[Golden Turtle] !"

I chugged down an elixir and sped up even more.

The Spear kept accelerating like a rocket!

I was nearing the speed of sound!

In just 5 seconds, I crossed the entire 1000-meter distance between us!

And then...

The water sphere collided with my Spear.

It was like a giant bowling ball hitting a pin.

But the pin won!

Like a shooting star falling back to the heavens, the Spear pierced through the gigantic water sphere!

"Enghhh..."

The God-Killing Spear came out from the other end.

I lost a sizable chunk of ether from blocking the water sphere, but things were just starting!

"Go..."

My feet came off the Spear and it zoomed into the distance.

The Spear quickly tore through the air and headed to the leviathans.

The monsters angrily lashed at the sea and roared.

Their roar reverberated in my mind.

The Spear was getting closer and closer...

With a thundering roar, the four leviathans launched another water sphere.

Ignoring the Spear, I constructed another sword and rode it to close the gap between me and the leviathans.

Those monsters were paying more attention to the Spear than me, and would easily dodge the Spear if I shot it from the distance.

I had to go near them and fight there.

"Gahhhhh!!"

I chugged another elixir down. Traveling on weapons like this was putting a lot of strain on my body.

But it wasn't the time to give up!

The second water sphere managed to slow down the Spear and the leviathans dodged it.

But I was already near one of the leviathan.

"Return!"

The Sphere flew back to my command.

Waaaaaoooooo-

"Not so fast!"

I jumped onto the leviathan!

That monster's size was just as massive as the others.

But it was surprisingly agile.

The other three instantly turned around and flung water spheres at me!

They were too angry to realize what they were doing!

"Hahahaha!"

I jumped away off from the leviathan before the water spheres struck.

Booom-! (x3)

The water spheres struck the leviathan!

Waaaaaaooooooo-

The leviathan roared in agony and lashed out.

However, the Spear returned before that and stabbed the monster!

It howled in pain and blue blood dripped from its abdomen. But I didn't stop and increased the pull on the Spear.

Waaaaaoooooo-(x3)

The other leviathans rushed at me to save their brethren.

"Didn't I say, not so fast?"

I cackled loudly and jumped back on the injured leviathan. The monster, despite being enormous and agile, was writhing in pain and couldn't stop me.

The other three leviathans hesitated for a split second.

A sword materialized in my hand and I thrust it at the monster's eye!

Clang-!

Sparks flew into the air and the blade slid away.

Despite eyes being the most vulnerable part of any living being the monster's eyes were tougher than my sword.

"Aha..ahaha..ahahahaha!"

Kicking the monster's snout, I jumped over its head and bolted across its body.

"Dammit, what are these monsters stat that I can't put a scratch on them unless I use the Spear?"

With a grin etched on my face, I dashed to the Spear stuck in the leviathan's body.

The monsters finally reacted.

The injured leviathan twisted its body to throw me off.

Three tails lashed at the injured leviathan. They didn't touch the monster but, with their size alone, they caused thunderous gales to start appearing.

Channeling more ether into my boots, I managed to not get blown away.

"Is this the best you can do?"

I kicked the leviathan's body and leaped into the air.

"Hey hey, don't think too highly of yourself!"

I looked down at the leviathans and laughed!

The three leviathans used this chance and attacked.

"[Golden Turtle] !"

Baaam-!

My body flew into the air like a cannonball.

The monsters chased me, not even waiting for me to crash onto the ground. They were too angry because I played them like a toy.

When the monsters attention was focused on me, I strained my lungs and...

"Return!"

..roared at the top of my lungs.

I was thrown on the same path the Spear would travel if it wasn't logged into the leviathan.

Waaaaaoooooo-

With my final push, the spear tore through the leviathan!

With a dying roar, the leviathan was torn in two halves and the corpse fell!

[You have defeated a Strand]

[Strand killed - 2/15]

[You have killed a Strand before the Day of Genesis]

[Sea Overlord is descending]

Before the rest of the leviathans could reach me, the Spear was already flying beside me.

Phzzzzzt- (x14)

Bang-! Bang-! Bang-! Bang-! Bang-!

I created layers of walls using the flat surface of weapons. My body broke through the dozens of weapons without coming to a stop.

Bang-! Bang-!

Bang-! Bang-! Bang-!

Blood dripped from every part of my body.

But that didn't matter at all!

My spear was next to me again!

Gulp- Gulp-

Downing yet another vial of elixir, I grabbed the handle of a sword and swung my body to stand on the blade.

Waaaaaoooooooo- (x3)

Booom-!

The Spear shot out and created a massive shockwave.

It flew to make a hole in the head of the leviathan at the forefront....

Waaaaaaaooooooooooo- (x10)

...until a massive fin swatted away the Spear.

"It's time you came!"

A 600-meter Leviathan appeared from the sea.
