Chapter 879 Predator Coffin Fish
Chapter 879 Predator Coffin Fish
A few weeks later, at high noon, Ace’s small ship was approaching a barrier island.
‘It’s about time…’ Ace’s eyes shimmered with resolve as he knew what was about to come.
However, right at this moment, the calm surface of the water suddenly started to ripple, and Ace’s focus was instantly drawn to this abrupt anomaly.
His eyes suddenly widened when he saw a massive shadow creeping upward right under his ship, and the water’s surface was rising.
‘Live fate map!’ Ace instantly activates the live fate map to gauge the threat level. It was his first time seeing a sea beast after he left the Union continent.
The moment he laid his eyes on the fate map, his pupils dilated because the fate point he saw was black!
Right at this moment, a ghastly pressure descended, and Ace’s heart sank because it was quite clear that he wasn’t just imagining things.
‘This sea beast is at least at the peak of the law awareness realm!’ Ace had never seen a sea beast of such a level before, but then it had to be expected because he was in the unpredictable, endless sea.
Just a moment ago, everything was fine, and now, everything was in disarray.
Ace knew he couldn’t stay still to be slaughtered, so he quickly stowed away the ship, and a flying sword appeared under his feet. Although the pressure was very deep for Ace, who had undergone two years of epiphany and developed the sword law in the intermediate realm, it wasn’t as intimidating as it appeared.
Just as Ace took flight and was ten meters above sea level, the sea beast finally emerged and directly lunged toward flying Ace with its maw open wide!
At was a fifteen-meter large white and blue fish, shaped like a toad, and its saw-like teeth were big enough to shatter a small hill. It was the seemingly extinct Predator Coffin Fish!
Furthermore, as it was moving toward Ace, the seawater was following its massive body like it had a will of its own.
Ace’s heart palpitated when that sea beast was locked on him. He increased his sleep while using his stealth to hide his presence. But the feeling of being locked was still there, and he knew that Predator Coffin Fish was not going to let its food escape so easily.
He wanted to avoid fighting Predator Coffin Fish because it was an absolute threat to him, and he was hoping that it would give up once he flew. But he had underestimated it, and now he was witnessing its prowess.
Seeing the Predator Coffin Fish now approaching his ankle with its huge maw, wanting to swallow him whole, Ace’s expression went cold.
“Let’s see if I can wound a monster like you!” .
Ace’s body twisted, and two grade-7 swords appeared in his hands before they shimmered with pitch-black enteral Qi. The aura around Ace rose and turned into sharpness, and it was strong enough to rival the humid aura around the Predator Coffin Fish.
It was his first time using his sword intent after the epiphany, and he was nothing like two years ago. Before, he would’ve definitely done anything to run away after seeing a black fate point, but now he can fight as long as it wasn’t a quasi-law comprehension realm threat.
Although this Predator Coffin Fish was clearly manipulating the water law around it and using the sea to its advantage, it still far more showcasing the level of a law comprehension ream abilities.
The size of Ace’s sword blades increased as the surrounding air vibrated with the sheer intensity of the shadow sword intent he was releasing.
‘The intent of shadow sword is to cut the shadows!’ Ace slashes down the two swords without hesitation.
The Predator Coffin Fish finally felt a foreign emotion for the first time in its life as it saw two black slashes as large as its body weighing down. It was fear!
The beast, for the first time, thought about dodging that attack at any cost. The surrounding water suddenly moved, and like a shield, it appeared right in the nick of time before the black blades could hit it.
“Boom…splash…”
However, the black blades were imbued with intermediate realm sword intent and minor realm shadow intent, which was almost at the intermediate realm.
The moment the shadow sword intent collided with the water law, the air literally shook as powerful fluctuation spread far and wide, creating huge waves in the sea below.
However, unlike the Predator Coffin Fish, who were on defense, Ace sneered and launched another attack. But this time, the sword core in the martial space suddenly revolved.
“It’s my first time trying this move from the Sky Sword. Let’s see how powerful it is, and this time, I’m going to use the lighting!”
The next moment, one of the swords in his hand vanished, and he made a stance with the other sword in his right hand. Ethereal black lighting started to crackle on the sword blade.
Ace then moved, leaving behind an afterimage on the flying sword.
The Predator Coffin Fish felt even more alarm when it suddenly sensed another danger approaching, and it was far more terrifying than the two slashes it was struggling to deflect.
‘Enteral Thief’s Sword Style; Splitting Sky Sword!’
Ace’s entire body suddenly turned into a huge sword blade of black lighting, and it clashed with the Predator Coffin Fish’s water shield.
But this time, the moment two Qis came in contact, the light blue water Qi pierced like paper by the lighting sword’s tip and stabbed toward the Predator Coffin Fish’s huge face!
No matter how much Qi the Predator Coffin Fish released, the lighting sword would instantly cut it apart, and the surrounding water was getting electrocuted, which was stunning its body and mind.
The sword finally reached the Predator Coffin Fish’s slimy but thick sink and directly pierced into it!
“Boom!”
A huge lighting shockwave blasted apart all the water, and Ace appeared, stabbing the huge fish’s face as his ethereal lighting blade stabbed into its face and came out from one of its large gills.
However, Ace was in disbelief because the fish was still alive and only paralyzed because of his lightning sword. But it was gravely injured, which was a plus, and it made Ace thrilled to know that he could subdue a monster at Predator Coffin Fish level.
Although the sea beasts were vastly different from intelligent species, they were still very hard to deal with.
But Ace’s elation was short-lived when he suddenly spotted more shadows emerging from deep within the sea as he and the Predator Coffin Fish were falling down.
Upon quickly scanning the fate map, Ace’s heart sank to rock bottom because eight more black fate points were coming his way.
Ace was barely able to subdue this one fish, and that was after using 40% of his marital Qi. He can’t begin to imagine fighting so many of them.
So, he decided almost instantly, he commanded without wasting any more time, “System start the absorption process of Platinum Orb!”
