Chapter 25 - Water Transmutation- Magical Manifestations.
[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]
[You have created a magical manifestation: Flaming Sword.]
[You have cut your opponent with the flaming sword; you have dealt -18 damage.]
[You have dealt additional -6 shock damage.]
The sound of the flaming sword stabbing and burning the huge Stingray's flesh reverberated through the small battlefield, spreading heat waves as both Leroy and the Viper retreated reflexively.
Despite not being on the receiving end of the attack, they shuddered when imagining the astronomical damage that was dealt on that one blow.
Rahr!
The stingray made a strange sound of extreme pain, its electricity directly lost control as it blasted without control at its surroundings. In its triangular body, a significant part of its left body was directly cut off.
It squirmed in extreme pain, trying as much as possible to swim away but it was directly incapacitated from the staggering blow.
The battlefield seemed to have come to a sudden pause. Eyes turned this way, looking at the flaming sword with a mixture of fear, reverence, and amazement emanating from them.
Sebastian was also stunned. He just made an experiment; never did he expect it to become so OP that he directly incapacitated the Stingray that could easily finish the original him on a one-on-one battle.
Despite being stunned, his actions did not slow down. With the same intention in mind, he willed it as the enormous flaming sword rose up for a follow-up attack.
With fear now in its eyes, the stingray let out a last gasp for survival struggle as it quickly accumulated its electricity mana before shooting it out the next moment.
Zap!
Sebastian stiffened from the electric current, but this did not stop the sword from doing its work. The stingray let out a sound of intense pain and despair as the sword cut through the side of its stingy face, removing a large chunk of flesh.
With a whoosh sound followed by a frenzied movement in the water, Sebastian suddenly discovered the Viper rapidly swimming close to him through his electroreceptor ability.
Pu!
The Viper raised its head high, widened its mouth, and revealed its teeth. Then a dark purplish liquid suddenly condensed on its 2 pairs of long teeth before shooting out the next moment.
Sizzling sounds echoed through the water, a clear sign of the acid content in the dark purplish liquid as it flew at a rapid speed towards Sebastian.
Sebastian was not left flustered by this sudden attack. Already having experience from the previous one, he sent his flaming sword in retaliation, while at the same time forming the image of a shield in his head.
As the dark purplish acid flew through the water, a pure black tower shield suddenly appeared out of thin air before blocking its path.
[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]
[You have created a magical manifestation: Tower shield.]
With another sharp sizzling sound, the acid hit the shield and it was firmly stopped on its path. Before the shocked Viper could comprehend what was happening, the sharp sword sliced at it.
[You have cut your opponent with the flaming sword; you have dealt -13 damage.]
Already recovered from the pincer attack that it was suffering, Leroy added salt to the Viper's injury. 2 of his enormous hammers came slamming down as they battered at its exposed head.
Either because it was shocked or left confused by the damage that it just received, the Viper turned without hesitation. Ignoring the bleeding from its skin, it rapidly activated a magic skill and fled out of the Leroy clan lair immediately.
Neither Sebastian nor Leroy pursued it. As one, they both turned to the real enemy who was still groping around looking for a way to survive.
Ignoring his cracked shell and the numerous injuries on its body, Leroy roared an angry challenge before advancing rapidly at his archenemy with his 6 hammers raised high.
Bam!
He slammed all 6 hammers at the already incapacitated stingray, dealing even more tons of damage to it as the stingray let out a sound before convulsing helplessly on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Sebastian did not go in pursuit. Rather, he stood in one place and decided to start some experiments.
After rapidly thinking in his head, he settled on the image of a sub-machine gun from his previous life. His magic energy spiked, but they only flickered before fading back into the air.
Seeing this, he confirmed something in his mind. This did not deter him though; he imagined a bow and arrow next in his head.
His magic power stirred, the water before him compressed before unveiling outwards the next moment. When the commotion died down, a black bow and arrow were what hovered before him.
Without hesitation, he prodded both weapons with his magic energy before trying to shape them in the direction that he wanted.
The arrow slowly entered the bow, and the bow was slowly stretched tight. Through his sharp eyes that gleamed in the water like a pair of suns, he aimed the stingray that was being battered by the enraged Leroy.
Green magic power suddenly enveloped the bow and arrow. The intensity of the magic energy surrounding both weapons grew steadily, then it quickly reached a crescendo.
Whoosh!
The arrow was smoothly unleashed from its cage which was now the bow. It traveled at a speed equivalent to that of the flash. Before Sebastian could blink, it embedded itself directly into the Stingray's head.
The green magic energy was visible as it ravaged through the body of the stingray, then it exploded into blood and flesh, forming a scenario like fireworks the next moment.
[You have activated skill: Water Transmutation.]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Bow and arrow.]
[You have shot your opponent with the arrow; you have dealt 21 damage.]
[You have killed a mature Stingray- level 17: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained 20 Skill points and 10 Adaptation points.]
[You have leveled up once.]
[You have leveled up once.]
Seeing this, Sebastian fell into a daze. Euphoria erupted from the depths of his heart when he thought of the one-hit damage that he just dealt, but this didn't last as he felt an overwhelming sense of weakness suddenly.
He was stunned. "My mana is exhausted".
He did not have much time to think more about this as he felt dozens of eyes rest on him. Turning his head, he saw the members of the Leroy clan, including Leroy himself looking at him with a reverence like he was a god.
"Sebastian!" "Sebastian!"
As they chanted his name, Sebastian felt energy swell back into his heart. Even if his mana was exhausted, he still had his physical attributes, his skills, and most especially his teeth.
He would not rest until the battle was officially declared over, he rapidly swam forward, bent over, and bit the nearest fish to death.
Crunch!
