Chapter 449: Tier 3 River Whale

"This is how Frenzy Beasts fight," A minute later, Jyorta muttered, watching the corpses of the Floating Spider and the Lava Turtles be enveloped by a sea of flames. Even after death, the blood of the Lava Turtle was a combustible material, quickly catching fire.

Taking in a deep breath, Jyorta looked at the Tier 3 Spindle Bee, "Barely twenty minutes remaining"

"Let's get going then," Dalna Doppler opened her eyes, having mentally prepared herself as she looked at everyone, "This will be our final battle as students. Let's finish it without any losses."

Everyone nodded in silence, having taken the time to recover some stamina, now brimming with fighting spirit. They didn't display any showcase of their vigour, silently marching forth as troops that were ready to rend their foe.

They appeared before the final dome, noticing how numerous water streams flowed within it, in the air. The Tier 3 River Whale had created numerous arcs in the air, making the entire region friendly to itself.

Upon noticing that it was the final opponent, it had been preparing all along, gearing up for the fight. And, unlike the other Tier 3 Frenzy Beasts, it wasn't afraid of its foes, rather raring up to kill and swallow them.

"Kehkehkehkeh" It unleashed almost humanoid sounds, making it seem like it was laughing. Its eyes were focused on the entrance, watching Dalna Doppler open it and enter cautiously, taking refuge behind the two constructs of silk.

All the fifteen team leaders had entered the dome as the entrance closed with a bang. The sound caused faint ripples over the water on the floor.

Jyorta gazed up, noticing three streams trail from the water on the floor and arc in the air before ending in the floor. The water levels on the floor were at a depth of two metres. Considering how the radius of the dome was 30 metres, the volume of water available in the place was tremendous.

"This guy" Jyorta frowned, noticing how there were three film layers on the Tier 3 River Whale. And between each layer seemed to be a vacuum, acting as insulators, a measure against his aura wave. This way, even if he creates a sea of lightning, it wouldn't be affected.

Until the previous opponent, they had trump cards left to use. But now, that was no longer an option. All along, it had observed what Jyorta did to the Tier 2 Lava Turtle. So, it had already shielded itself accordingly, preventing all manner of attacks from reaching it.

Moreover, there wasn't even a tinge of its aura in the dome. Jyorta probed using his aura, noticing how the River Whale had wrapped itself using the entirety of its aura in the innermost water film. This way, even if he unleashes an aura beam, it wouldn't even be able to land on his opponent.

All their cards were laid bare before it, giving it enough time and data to prepare accordingly. The River Whale had first protected itself with enough defensive measures. And, as it saw the students, it let out humanoid laughter, making the streams of water follow it as it took the lead, heading straight towards the students.

"Take off to the air. Amplifiers, try to shave away its defensive layer." Dalna Doppler shouted as everyone took off to the air. The Amplifiers with the Unranked Skill, Flight headed towards the River Whale, intending to distract it while the othersthose flying with the help of the Tier 2 Floating Spidersflew away.

Dalna Doppler used her spear to make a slash on the River Whale, watching her spear slice through the water. The water easily refilled the slice in an instant. Her cut was sharp. But that also meant the River Whale didn't need to do much to repair the damage.

George took off to the air and positioned himself at the top of the dome, intending to see how the River Whale acted first. In the meantime, Jyorta hovered behind the Tier 3 Spindle Bee, using his psychic arms to shield himself, turning invisible.

He then positioned himself at a rather safe corner while making the Tier 3 Spindle Bee attack. Before they arrived, they had refilled the energy levels of all the Frenzy Beasts to the maximum. Jyorta still had a couple of Developer Heart Crystals that he could use. So, he didn't stint on its expenditure, making the Spindle Bee go all out in its attacks.

Each of the spindles it shot forth was powerful, piercing through the defensive layers erected by the River Whale. But, they stopped right before they hit the River Whale. Moreover, there wasn't any gap created in its armour layer because of such an attack.

The Amplifiers flashed past as they attacked the River Whale, causing the water in its defences to spill out. But no matter what they did, they couldn't deplete the quantity of water surrounding it. After all, it was moving with a stream of water that was replenished from the floor.

The amount of water their attacks could splash wasn't worth mentioning. It simply healed the damage to the film of water before their attacks even ended. The River Whale flew towards an Amplifier, intending to ram him into a pulp.

The Amplifier increased his flight speed for a second and outmanoeuvred it, calming his thumping heart as he attacked its sides. Facing the River Whale head-on was akin to facing a train that was speeding towards them.

It wasn't easy to combat it.

Followed by a sharp buzz, the Tier 3 Spindle Bee flashed behind the River Whale's back, slamming the entirety of its aura onto the film of water, producing numerous ripples. Its aura further spiked, causing the water at the topmost layer to vaporise immediately.

Tier 3 SkillFrenzy Rush!

Almost one hundred spindles were launched in a couple of seconds, packing thrice the usual power. Each spindle possessed a tremendous reserve of poison, enough to render the sanity of its opponents useless.

The River Whale seemed as if it was waiting for the attack, immediately unleashing hundreds of bubbles from the film of water. The bubbles looked harmless but moved based on its wishes, heading towards the spindles like bullets.

And, the moment a spindle pierced a bubble, it exploded. The explosion was simply a result of pressurised air within the bubble exploding. It generated enough power to crack concrete. And now, the River Whale unleashed hundreds of them, making them meet the spindles head-on. All the spindles were destroyed by the consecutive and continuous explosions.

"Ugh!" Jyorta hurriedly increased the defences of his psychic arms, filtering out all sounds as almost a hundred explosions occurred at the same time. The exploded water turned into mist, covering the entirety of the dome, reducing visibility.

It was like fog, preventing them from seeing beyond a certain distance.

"Dammit, it got us good." Jyorta cursed as he shaped his stronger psychic arm into a fan and made it spin, blowing away some of the mist. But, the thrust he could generate wasn't anything to note about, failing to push away the mist beyond a couple of metres from him.

The mist was suffused with the River Whale's aura and energy, hindering his communication with the Tier 3 Spindle Bee. There was zero visibility now, moreover, the aura and energy concentrated in the mist rendered their detection ability useless.

On the other hand, since the energy was its own, the River Whale's detection methods were rather amplified.

One of the Amplifiers intended to fly towards the border when he noticed a subtle fluctuation in the mist, immediately bending mid-air as he slashed with his sword, watching it slam into a thin film of water shaped like a blade.

But, the speed of the other party, the momentum it carried, and the strength behind its Trait caused the blade of water to cut through his sword cleanly. The Amplifier noticed his reflection in the blade of water as it moved past.

Riddled with sweat, he hurriedly retreated at his fastest speed, shouting, "Be careful, it shaped its water film into blades."

But, he didn't receive any replies, cursing when he realised the mist surrounding him had absorbed all the sounds. It was why the surroundings had turned silent all of a sudden. No matter how much they shouted, their voices didn't travel beyond a couple of metres.

Now, all the students were separated, unable to gang up on the River Whale any longer. Having witnessed their abilities numerous times as they battled all the Tier 3 Frenzy Beasts one after another, the River Whale used it to its advantage, obtaining the upper hand now.

Moving over to the end was the wisest choice now. Jyorta thought everyone too would do the same as he flew towards the walls of the dome, suddenly watching a bladeshaped from waterflash before him, startling him.

Only when it appeared in his domain was he able to notice it. But, his domain only spanned 4 metres, and the reaction time was short. Moreover, he didn't have the Unranked Skill, Flight. He had to rely on the Tier 2 Floating Spider to move, and it wasn't instantaneous.

'I won't make it in time.' He scowled as his demeanour changed, making the sphereformed by his psychic armslike a blade at the front, taking on an aerodynamic shape before turning jet black.

The water blade slammed into it, melting like a piece of butter coming across the fire. The water blade was severed as the figure of the River Whale flew past. Its three eyes along the side focused on Jyorta's figure, staring in all seriousness as the water blade collapsed and fell down to the ground as droplets.

It wasn't flustered, calmly condensing another water blade. It hadn't even expended much energy in this process, making a round as it targeted another student, causing him to scurry at his maximum speed.

It was simply making them exhaust all their energy until they were no longer able to fight.

Veins popped all over his neck as Jyorta felt strained, having expended a lot of psychic energy in the short contact. He panted, feeling a mild headache as he quickly filtered out all the mist that had managed to enter through his shield, "Dammit."
