Chapter 147: aftermath 1
Chapter 147: aftermath 1
On hearing the domineering words of this human facing it, Drakonous felt more angered but it did not let this get to its head. Though in a one-on-one, it was confident that it could defeat this human, this was not a one-on-one battle.
Despite not knowing the specific parameters of the ships facing it, it felt enough threat from them to know that these people really came for business.
Its situation was hopeless when looked at critically, but that was in others' perspective. Despite facing this enormous force, it was confident in its strength. Dauntless Courage and boldness was the only thing written on its ugly face.
"Take this beast down," the Commander of the Seafarers alliance fleet finally ordered again, as he took hold of his sword while his armor enveloped his face.
The energy fluctuations in this part of the sea grew extremely fierce and intimidating, demarcating it from the rest as the main cannons of these top-grade warships finished charging up in 5 seconds.
Boom!! Boom!! Large and loud impact sounds reverberated, following the cannons shot sounds, as the large form of Drakonous was bombarded ruthlessly without mercy.
Blood finally flowed out of the thick skin of this exobeast, the expression on its ugly face grew more ferocious as the huge kinetic energy cannon shots kept impacting it without pause.
Commander Lionel finally launched himself out of the main Seafarers fleet with the help of an air compressed device, after putting on his war attire. His figure streaked closer to the enormous figure of the exobeast, forming a parabola as energy blasted out of all his devices like blazing fire.
Roar!! On seeing this, Drakonous finally got fed up with all the firepower directed at it, making exerted strength like never before explode out of its body with a roar.
Visible ripples spread outwards from the sonic wave accompanying its loud roar, as a fiercer pressure field suddenly appeared, radiating outwards from its position like the descent of a higher being.
After getting dragged up from below the sea and being relentlessly bombarded with cannon shots, Drakonous was finally able to trigger the rare rage phenomenon.
The tense atmosphere of the surrounding became tenser and more frightening, as the soldier crews of the Seafarers fleet struggled to maintain focus.
After gathering momentous strength through its roar, the restraining electric ropes attached to it were finally snapped in 2 by its outrageous exertion of strength. Its enormous figure shook unstably for a moment, as it finally escaped its shackles.
Boom!! With a frightening fast maneuver, its large and enormous mouth suddenly opened as its dagger-like teeth aimed at the brave commander advancing to clash with it.
Commander Lionel adapted extremely quickly on seeing this, as his armor blazed fiercer by releasing more blue energy glows. He activated series of quick instructions through his implant, as shields popped out, covering his figure completely.
He continued fearlessly like a fighting bull, as a strong force field erupted around his sword, making it shine brightly like a beacon on the battlefield.
Boom!! The collision was like rolling thunder, a crack appeared in the air for a moment before the 2 figures separated immediately.
In the end, Drakonous still had the upper hand as it recovered immediately. But Commander Lionel flew backward swiftly; he took a little time before he stabilized himself in the air the next moment.
Boom!! Boom!! More energy cannon shots were released, as 4 more other soldiers were launched out of their various ships.
This was an outrageous force, as the energy signatures being emitted showed that these 4 new soldiers were all 4th rank high-grade soldiers.
The fierceness of a battle involving 5th rank powerhouses cannot be estimated nor described with mere words. The reaction of the nearby sea was a perfect resource to describe it.
With the already frenzied Drakonous dealing outrageous damage through its claws and teeth, Captain Lionel led his soldiers as they dodged all the attacks using experience in a well-practiced manner.
Their pinnacle-grade multipurpose boots continued spewing out hot blue energy, enabling their continued suspension in the air by it. Money kept being burnt like water, as shield energy reserves kept being depleted.
They kept their weapons force field on at all times, as their outrageous energy reserves could sustain such wasteful use.
If the soldiers of the other fleets were still here, they would marvel at how rich these soldiers were. With such a hegemon supporting them, they could afford to bruise their way through any battle by burning money.
The surface of the sea kept on spilling water and mist upwards, as the energy impacts and the kinetic impact from the warships continued stirring it without holding back.
The 10km area of the sea around their battlefield was no longer the same, as it now looked like where primordial chaos energy just descended on. The water continued stirring relentlessly under the continuous impacts, as the nearest unlucky ships started being submerged.
The surrounding seawater took a deep dark red tone, as the thick blood flowing out of the exobeast dyed everywhere ominously.
Drakonous, despite triggering the rare rage phenomenon was still firmly being suppressed by the Seafarers alliance fleet. This was the power of just one fleet of this sea tyrant.
It already tried to escape several times, but it was firmly prevented from doing so by the different strange means that its opponents utilized.
Roar!!! It released another blood-curdling roar of pain, as Commander Lionels sword succeeded in driving deep into its thick skin again. With a forceful sideways drag, the injury extended as blood fell down like a shower of thick rain.
At this moment, it finally made a decision as it suddenly bet all in to injure the Commander. All the 4 Seafarers Generals took advantage of the opening, as they also finally scored their first injury into the thick skin of this exobeast.
Commander Lionel was ready for this, as shields were stacked all over his body to firmly protect him.
Drakonous did an unexpected move after getting its enormous maw close enough. It knew that biting, swallowing, or clawing at this human would only give it more injuries, so it finally decided to make use of its strongest move.
ROAR!!! Commander Lionel was surprised, as instead of biting, the exobeast suddenly started roaring at him. He wanted to scoff in ridicule, but his expression immediately changed the next second as it directly became ugly.
The sound of the roar reverberated like something enhanced by the legendary magician of sound, as he under its direct effect closed his eyes immediately to endure.
Ahhh!! He screamed in pain as his eardrums directly got damaged from the loud sound. His ears burst, erupting into a puddle of blood from the extremely high decibels as his eyes rolled backward immediately.
All the Generals at the side felt it also, as they all directly fainted from the extremely loud sound exceeding their endurance range.
The outrageously strong armor of the nearest Seafarers alliance ship suffered the brunt of the sonic disaster, as its armor immediately suffered threatening cracks.
Hundreds of ship crews inside died immediately, as their brains exploded from the huge brain impact of the terrorizing sonic attack.
From this one ability displayed by this ancient exobeast, the battle immediately came to a stop. Despite such a huge advantage gained, it didnt pursue victory as it knew that it would still be defeated. Its intelligence was not just for decoration.
Using this brief window of opportunity, its bloodied form plunged back into the sea, diving deeper into the bottomless depths, back to its hiding place.
In a short 3 seconds, it crossed the 3,000m depth. As an amphibian, after staying in the water for so long, it already adapted to it. It was now more acquainted with moving faster and more efficiently underwater.
Commander Lionel finally regained control over his body, as he trembled from rage all over on not seeing his target again. On feeling the pains all over his body, he got more furious as he never expected this beast to have such an outrageous ability.
Despite his fury, his face grew grave as from the effects shown; he was able to glean more details about this unique ability that it showcased. This was a sonic type of self-created technique.
The thing that baffled him the most was that, since the beginning, there was no record of exobeasts creating self-created techniques.
Though he wanted to go after it alone, he clearly knew that his ability was not enough. He called for large reinforcement from his military base; he would scour this region completely to find it no matter where it hid.
This was when he finally snapped out of his contemplating mood, as he looked at the unstable chaos that their battle caused.
Though hundreds of his soldier crews died from the exobeasts last ability, he didnt really care. The damage to the warships was even less significant to him; money was not a problem of the Seafarers alliance.
What he really cared about, was the unstable and raging water of the sea for kilometers. The water was already unstable originally, but their battle escalated this to this extreme.
He was sure that within a day, all the nearby town coasts that were close to the sea would welcome a new natural disaster.
He quickly started thinking of ways to compensate for any losses to the nearby towns. If news went out that they caused the destruction of multiple towns, public opinion around them would dip.
After a quick mental tour, he finally started retrieving his unconscious Generals and re-organizing his army.
Somewhere on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea, a small fairly flourishing town stood alone, far away from the nearby city.
This was a hub where fishermen gather to catch fish. The town also had another identity as a fish market, as practically everyone in the town was either a trader or fisherman.
In one of the small market stalls, an old grey-haired man stood with his hands behind his back, as he calmly watched the water flow and current of the seawater.
His face was calm and peaceful; sometimes morphing into a sorrowful mood, while at other times a happy mood as he watched the rise and lowering of the tide.
As he watched, his calm expression suddenly disappeared, as a grave expression replaced it.
What taboo have these reckless Seafarers broken again? Blood-thirsty opportunists. He cursed under his breath, as he directly turned around to go into his market stall.
He did not know what happened, but from his experience, he knew that it was probably humans greediness that was bringing this calamity again.
Larhd, prepare your things, we are leaving this town immediately. On entering, he told his only helper at the side, as the boy's eyes widened like saucers curiously.
He was found in the streets and taken in by the old man 2 years ago. Since then, he became his one and only helper. After so long, they already developed a father and son relationship.
He was not happy at this abrupt decision; he wanted to protest and ask for the reason. But on seeing the unusually stern and serious expression on the mans face, he stood up to prepare his things directly.
In less than 5 minutes, they finally arrived at the large gate leading outside the small town.
Dad, why are we suddenly leaving. The boy coughed a little on reaching here before he finally gathered the boldness to ask his helper and dad. The old man kept silent for 5 seconds before he turned to him with a stern face and solemnly said.
A storm is coming.
