Chapter 93 - Who Is Still Recuperating?
Boom!
The 2 alphas of the Draconic Lizard and Crocodile family clashed again, spreading shockwaves everywhere through the water as nearby creatures were pushed further away by the powerful force.
After battling with each other for so long, they already sustained countless injuries that were enough to leave an army of Orange tier predators dead.
The alpha Crocodile now had a huge and deep hole torn directly through its abdomen by its opponent's sharp arrow-head tail. The injury was so ghastly and deep that the Crocodile's bones could be seen but it still hovered, fighting strong.
Its thick skin and scales suffered gashes of various degrees. Its opponent's sharp claws were not for show, they dealt real damage to it.
Despite all that it was currently suffering, its eyes remained glittering with battle-readiness and bloodlust as it dealt damage that was equivalent or even more to its opponent already.
The Lizard Lord now looked pathetic though it was also still going strong. Compared to the damage that it dealt to the Crocodile, the damage that it received was much less precise and much rougher due to the Croc's fighting style.
Bite injuries were all over its body, spread roughly like the cuts normally in a grilled fish. One of its legs already became decapacitated, though it didn't lose it, the crushing bite of the Crocodile directly killed every muscle in it.
Like it, the Crocodile's thick powerful tail was not just for show. After numerous hits by the powerful tail, it already suffered depressions in its body that induced internal injuries.
Despite all these, both were still at a stalemate, fighting with all they had like 2 boys who were fighting for the affection of their crush.
Though their strength was gradually waning as more time went by, they were still both undoubtedly the strongest fighters on the battlefield. Each of their attacks seemed to induce natural disasters.
As the strongest creatures in this seamount, it was long since they found such powerful opponents to fight against so they didn't waste this opportunity.
They were so much addicted to the battle already that they lost all perception of their surroundings. All that dominated their mind was hit harder, bite harder, deal even more damage, rip off his freaking face.
After another bite from the Crocodile that took a huge chunk of meat from its flesh, while retaliating, the Draconic Lizard alpha heard a voice.
"Dodge!"
It was startled at first, but looking at its opponent's face it immediately deduced that the voice was only heard by it. One thing it knew was that the voice belonged to the shameless Megalodon Lord, it dodged without thinking.
Whoosh!
As soon as the Lizard Lord dodged, a loud sound of the water separating reverberated as a pitch-black arrow immediately moved past its previous location.
With a loud booming sound, the arrow got embedded into one of the eyes of the huge Crocodile alpha who immediately bellowed in rage and pain.
For the fight against the Crocodile alpha, Sebastian already explained to the Lizard Lord. He had no plans, all he would do was spam attacks while the Draconic Lizard would stabilize things from the side.
As soon as the first attack connected, it heralded the start of the frightening combo of attacks that followed.
[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]
[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Tower Prison!]
[You have created a magic manifestation: War Hammer!]
[You have created…]
[You have created…]
Without hesitation, as he rapidly closed the distance towards the enemy, Sebastian activated his unique skill, creating all the magic manifestations that he could without bias. None was left behind.
At the same time that they formed, his mana points drained like water flowing down a running tap.
[Mana Points: 480…, 420…, 350…, 230…]
The Crocodile alpha was mad with rage. The arrow came so fast, so abrupt, and so precise that it could not react until it lost one of its precious eyes.
As an intelligent beast, it knew how important its eyes were to it in a battle which made it wary and not erupt immediately like a rabid dog. Despite its self-restraint, it was still angry and prepared to teach who shot the arrow a lesson.
While making its spikes stand straight to amplify its defense against any ambush by the cowardly lizard, it finally looked with its last surviving eye.
What it saw made its lone eye widen in astonishment. It didn't yell for mercy though, it only growled angrily but its growl did nothing to help it.
All the magic manifestations came slamming down like a firepower bombardment from a warship.
Boom! Boom!
The war hammer first came down slamming at its head, then the lightning Axe cut at the same place in its head. These 2 caused its eyes to roll back immediately but more came.
The Ice Spears and Fire Sabers came down with staggering force, including the Flaming Swords.
The Lizard Lord was not idle, though it was astonished by the power on display, it was able to react fast and throw in a tyrannical fire breath befitting of a Draconic Lizard alpha.
When all these elements combined, all hell broke loose, and with the water visibly evaporating, a supernova explosion was formed.
The explosion was so powerful that both Sebastian and the Lizard Lord were pushed far away, with both of them suffering residual damage from the explosion.
Despite trying to stabilize himself in mid-air, Sebastian was not one to let go of opportunities to deal more damage as he activated his sound reflection skill, reflecting all the sound back inside.
For a few seconds to a minute, the bright light lingered amid the raging explosion until it finally started subsiding.
The effects of this attack were so much that it shook all the creatures on the battlefield. Stunned, they looked on in awe and fear.
When everything subsided, the raging fire subsided too to reveal the Crocodile. Right now, it was better to call it a roasted Crocodile than an alpha Crocodile.
The alpha Croc was now black all over, with a mix of red which was its hot heaving flesh underneath. Blood dyed its body completely, forming a gory sight that the creatures on the battlefield reacted mildly to.
It could no longer move, it hovered in the water paralyzed like a stroke patient. The astonishment in this was that despite the fierce damage, the Crocodile survived with the help of its thick skin though it was on the verge of death.
Wearily, it raised its head to look at Sebastian for a few seconds before turning to face the Lizard Lord. The arrogance in its face before was gone, now only tiredness and a resignation to fate were left.
Despite all these, the pride of a powerhouse was still there, including the never flinching willpower and hunger for battle.
"Old Liz, do you think he's still recuperating after so long?"
"What?" The Lizard Lord blurted out a question but the one at the receiving end could no longer answer because it was at the end of its life.
"I…, I wish you Good luck…, and your friend too". The Crocodile said its last words amidst its body breaking apart from the fiery explosion.
[You have killed…]
Sebastian didn't have the time to pay attention to the system's notification, this was because the whole seamount suddenly started shaking like an ancient existence was waking up from a deep slumber.
He turned to face the Lizard Lord, slightly panicked now as all his Megalodon instincts were now screaming danger at him.
"Who is still recuperating?"
