Chapter 54 A Deadly Whale
Kye swam toward the big whale which still hadn't stopped its advance. It was still rushing toward them as fast as it could. Though, the moment she saw that Kye was in front of her, she opened her large mouth, only for Kye to see razor-like sharp teeth that looked so menacing that he had to gulp down to pull the pression out of himself.
And just when the whale was about to close her mouth on him, the latter managed to swim away just in time. He would have been crushed if he were to stay there. Probably being food.
'Me and my luck,' Kye clicked his tongue internally. 'How I am meant to fight such a thing when their support will almost be useless. No why did I open my mouth in the first place?' He turned around the whale swiftly, and since he managed to take her aggro, the whale now focused on him. 'There's no need to lament now. What's done is done. I can only fight and survive.'
Since the whale was slower than him because of her immense body, she had difficulties following Kye with her eyes. Though, she could still recognize when the water around her was changing, thus knowing where Kye exactly was. And as Kye predicted earlier, the whale indeed had some sort of ability.
The monster waved its 'tail', and from it, twenty ice spikes were created before going toward Kye at full speed.
"Tch," He clicked his tongue as he took some distance to dodge things more easily. Though, he didn't have to because multiple layers of barriers appeared in front of him.
Each ice spike destroyed a barrier, thus destroying the twenty barriers that Suha had put to defend Kye.
The latter looked at him for a brief moment, only to see Suha smile at him. And even though he didn't want to, Kye's lips turned slowly into a smile. And so to not waste Suha's energy, Kye swam rapidly toward the whale. The latter waved her tail once more, but Kye used her giant body to take cover. And because she was in the way, she take all the spikes she created.
*Arghhwhwhwh*
The whale screamed in pain, but instead of focusing on that, she redirected her anger toward Kye. But during this short amount of time when she was screaming in pain, Kye saw an opportunity. The spikes were really sharp, thus damaging the whale a lot. So she left a big opening to exploit.
And Kye didn't wait to exploit it.
He swam at full speed toward the whale with Maria's and John's help. She was bending water so that it wouldn't hinder him, while John was increasing his speed, thus making him swam so fast that in no time he was already in front of one of the monster's eyes.
And the moment the whale opened them back after processing that pain, Kye thrust his sword into her left eye with Suha's barrier, thus making the sword's durability and sharpness increase by a lot.
However, if it was enough to destroy an eye of a high-level monster, then it would have been an easy fight.
Kye felt that his sword didn't get to dip inside the whale's eye, so he immediately swam away because he felt the whale was about to move.
His teammates didn't understand at first why he decided to back down, but when they saw the whale opening its mouth with energy gathering inside it, they all understood that she was about to fire an icy laser.
However, what happened next shocked them.
The energy gathering inside its mouth began to form multiples of energy, going up to twenty energy balls.
'This is bad,' They all thought at the same time. Kye went behind the whale since it was the safer spot, while the other took as much distance as possible. However, the only person aimed by those beams was Kye.
*Phioush*
*Phioum*
*Phioush*
The twenty ice beams were shot and all curved to go toward Kye.
'Do they have a tracking device on them or what?' Kye thought as he began to move as fast as he can. He even used his Angel's eyes since the golden color couldn't be seen by anyone to see if he could see something in those icy beams, but there was nothing. 'Too good to be true," He rolled his eyes as he began to move in every direction.
The ice beams didn't freeze the water around it, so it never stopped chasing Kye.
"We gotta do something," Suha urgently said once he saw that they weren't aimed. "He will die at this rate," The beams were closing the distance with Kye after each second.
"What can we even do?" Maria asked as she too looked at the terrifying sight of these twenty ice beams.
"I-..." Suha wanted to do something, but no idea came to his mind.
Kye also saw them from the distance, and he too knew that they wouldn't be able to do anything against such a strong thing. Unlike the spikes from earlier, those beams looked a lot stronger. So there was no point for Suha in protecting Kye with his ability since it would be useless.
So since he knew he was alone in this mess, he went back toward the whale who seems to have a gigantic smile seeing him. The monster's sharp teeth could even be seen, making Kye disgusted at such a sight. But he didn't slow down by it.
Instead, he tried to go even faster. He even felt his little wings trying to move on his back to try and increase his speed. Even if it was just a little. Alas, they weren't big enough for that.
As Kye swam closer to the whale, the latter opened its mouth as if she was thinking that Kye was about to kill himself. Though, it was only her thinking. Kye had another idea.
He continued swimming, but instead of entering her mouth, Kye went toward her eyes. He then waited there, and at the last moment, he dodge the twenty beams which all came at the same time.
*Arghhwhwhwh*
The whale whined in pain again. Though, this time, her eyes were gone for real. The eyeball froze after the first ten beams, before being destroyed by the ten others.
Kye, instead of stepping back went toward the monster's other eyes and thrust his sword in them. Suha was there just in time to improve his sword.
"Makes me another sword," Kye ordered him.
"Wha-???"
"NOW!!" Kye shouted to urge him, not letting Suha finish. And because of that, he immediately formed another sword in Kye's hand.
Unlike the sword he got from the weapon class, this one was a lot more durable and sharper. And even though his earlier sword was coated by Suha's ability, it was only coated, not the real thing. So this one, after thrusting it into the whale's eyes, went far deeper into the eyeball.
*Arghhwhwhwh*
The monster made a chilling scream because of the loss of its second eye. Never did she expect to suffer such damages against lowly humans. Humans that were far less strong than her. So she waved her tail multiple times, creating a thousand ice spikes. But this time, it wasn't aimed only at Kye. It was aimed at everyone.
So they all began to swim away for those spikes. Unlike the beams, they didn't track their target, so dodging them was easier. Though, only if there were few. The amount made them dodge like their death was in front of them. And it wasn't just an impression since it was real.
But it wasn't without Kye ordering them once again. He was indeed dodging like them, but he was still focused on the monster. "Suha, make a sword for everyone and come with me!"
'Shit, why didn't I think about that sooner?" Suha cursed to himself as he did what Kye asked him to do. He never thought of the possibility of all of them using a weapon. They were all taking the ability class, not the weapon class. So it never crossed his mind. Not even once.
