Omega Summoner

The Razor Clamfish managed to get out of the coral and launched itself once more to the group. It is basically a spinning torpedo. The speed is indeed fast as the group barely blocked it as Kabrakan shouldered the damage.

His shield suddenly cracked upon impact as it was too much to bear. The shields might be regenerating but it is not as fast as one wants it to be. The Razor Clamfish did not stop upon colliding against the shields as it rotated even more. Levin Cloud needed to do something, so he used Bramble Vines to restrain the Razor Clamfish.

Since the skill Bramble Vines corresponds to the environment, the vines that grew are actually seaweed instead that has bioluminescence. With each spin of the Razor Clamfish, the seaweed that it gathered became thick and the rotating speed started to gradually become slower.

The group then rained all their skill against the Razor Clamfish until it died. It took quite some time because the shell covering the sea monster is hard while the skills that they can also use is limited. In the end, they had to use 50% of their mana just to kill the Razor Clamfish.

"I cannot believe that we took so much effort killing a mob monster." Kabrakan stated as his shields started to become perfect once more.

"It cannot be helped. The things that we could do underwater is limited. We also needed to get used to fighting underwater which is why we took longer just killing one." Peridot stated.

What Peridot said rings true as the group has yet to do underwater battles. For a monster of that level, they should just use about ten minutes to kill but they took half an hour to kill the Razor Clamfish. The time might lessen but it would still take too long.

"I will cast Chrono Shift towards us while swimming. We should reach the next destination as fast as we can. We can also avoid some meaningless battles on the way." Adrian stated as he knew that Chrono Shift can give them burst of speeds. The main problem they have right now is the fact that they cannot see their enemies coming at them.

Even if all of them can see in the dark, only Adrian can accurately see like it is daytime. The other people can only see silhouettes in the far distance of the dark water. They cannot use light as well because that will make them an easier target for predators.

Everyone drank potions instead of resting up as the area they discovered is not entirely safe. They thought that there might be safe zones in the sea like that on top, but they have yet to encounter one. It might not even be farfetched to say that there are no safe zones underwater.

With Adrian using Chrono Shift, their travel time became faster than before but that also came with problems. Peridot, Levin Cloud and Kabrakan needed to get used to the feeling of suddenly moving twice as fast for short periods of time. There were times that the two could not hold on and Peridot had to go back for them.

With the burst of speeds, the monsters that they encountered became lesser but that did not mean that they are safe. They encountered one or two sea monsters on the way that wanted to eat them. Thankfully, sea monsters that are great predators tend to hunt alone which is why they did not have any issue defeating them.

One of the most difficult opponents that they faces is the Jet Squid. Not only did it match their speed, but it also made use of its ink sac to create a smokescreen. Levin Cloud almost died when one Jet Squid suddenly ambushed them. The Jet Squid is two times faster than the Razor Clamfish which also made it two times more lethal.

They defeated it because Adrian managed to pinpoint it using Chrono Lag. They then bombarded it with all they got, and it died easily due to its soft body. They also encountered monsters that are above level 300 underwater, but those monsters were either sleeping or did not bother looking at them.

The high level sea monsters only treated them as mere small fish that is just passing through. Adrian tested out if they can traverse using Spirit Form Manifestation, but the skill has been grayed out. It seems that the developers are restricting its use since there are not many sea monsters with the undead attribute.

The group is getting close to their destination, but they can suddenly feel that the waters that they are swimming on became different. The surroundings became lifeless and not even a sign of small fish is present. The group could feel that it is not right which is why they all had eye contact and decided that they needed to leave quick.

Just as they are swimming away to a more an area with more life, they could suddenly feel nervous. An eerie sounding cry is heard by everyone that made their spine tingle. Since sound travels much faster in water than in air, they can feel that whatever made that cry is far, but the cry is becoming louder and louder.

A few moments later, the source of the cry came crashing down on the party. It whizzed past through them and made Levin Cloud and Kabrakan lose hold of Peridot. If Peridot's dragon form is ten meters long, the monster that attacked them is thrice her size. She even sustained injury, but her dragon scales made sure that she does not bleed. If she bleeds, then it might attract even more troublesome monsters.

"Greater Summon: Charon! Greater Summon: Dodu!" Adrian hurriedly casted.

The monster that attacked them is not something that they can easily defeat as it is a tiered monster. To be exact, it is a legendary tier monster that hunts underwater. It would take all of their effort to defeat it.

Monster Name: Reaper

Monster Species: Leviathan

Level: 280

Tier: Legendary

Health: 100%

Mana: 100%

Description: A sea monster of epic proportions and is one of the giants of the ocean depths. This monster got its name for its aggressive nature and pension for tearing its prey apart. It has been dubbed as the Ocean's Grim Reaper as the waters it inhabits are all eerily silent and dead. It will never let go of its prey and will chase it to the ends of the waters.

------

The Reaper looks like a mix between an oar fish with the head of an anglerfish. It has a small light bulb on its forehead that lures in prey when it is in an inactive state. The face of the Reaper has six eyes that helps it navigate in a 360-degree fashion. It also has six claw like appendages attached to its mouth that functions as scissors to tear those caught by it.

Despite its thirty-meter-long body, it could propel its body briefly at a distance of one hundred meters under one second. This is what it used against Peridot to overthrow Levin Cloud and Kabrakan. The only warning that the group has is the way that it cries when attacking.

They noticed that the Reaper would shout before launching itself to its target. It also cannot launch itself repeatedly for a given time which is why the group could breathe. The only problem is that it employs the hit and run tactics. It launches itself one hundred meters which means it also evades follow-up attacks against it with that distance.

"That is how you want to play!' Adrian stated as he set up traps around them because they needed to defeat it in order to escape its clutches.

The Reaper launched itself once again, but the group is now prepared against it. Kabrakan used Taunt in a timely manner thanks to Adrian's Chrono Shift Support. The Reaper that is supposed to attack Adrian changed direction in a split second which also decreased its speed.

The mouth of the Reaper crashed against Kabrakan as it tried to swallow him whole, but the shields are bigger than what it could swallow. Kanlaon used the ice element and tried to freeze the body of the Reaper as Peridot supported him. Dodu increased in sized and tried to devour the Reaper using its acidic touch while Charon tried to restrain it using chains.

The effort of everyone could be seen as the Reaper is held tightly but the waters is its domain. The six scissor like appendages suddenly sunk its sharp tips onto Kabrakan as he let out a pained cry. Kabrakan's back is pierced by six sharp appendages which made him loosen his grip for a moment.

Kabrakan, who was keeping the mouth of the Leviathan from closing, is suddenly being pushed inside the monster's mouth. The group naturally knew that they cannot let this happen as it is not a great experience being eaten. Kanlaon immediately swam near the mouth of the Leviathan and shot ice shards inside it to fill the stomach of the hungry beast.
