Chapter 496: Chupacabra
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Brother Black’s current offensive might was pretty outstanding, and truthfully only required several gunshots to melt through the 1000 HP ‘Algae Bubble Shield’.
The ‘Algae Bubble Shield’ pressured under the numerous explosions, and finally popped violently; releasing inundating bubbles.
Finally, the fiendish Chupacabra emerged from within.
This was a beast analogous to the Plesiosaurus dinosaur. Its body was covered in thin black scales, while its glossy periphery formed into a spindle shape. A layer of thin mucus smeared over its scales while fins propelled out of the front of its four limbs. At the tip of its limbs, were incredibly sharp claws. A massive plumpy tail stuck out of its back.
The enraged Chupacabra roared sonorously after receiving a sudden barrage, as it swiftly darted towards the ship.
As the gap between both parties narrowed, one could view the exceedingly slender neck of this fiendish creature; along with its massive head and elongated jaws like that of an alligator.
Due to its enraged state, it frequently widened its jaws to roar, which allowed one to vividly notice the Chupacabra’s mouth had a composition similar to serpents.
Its mouth could widen with unbelievably exaggerated angles, while its rows of incisive fangs within essentially appeared like groups of razors. Regardless of vegetables, elastic, hard or soft; all would be grinded to dust.
The reason this fiend could chew mightily, was due to two crudely large muscles lumped beneath the flesh at the bottom of its jaws; muscles that bonded and stretched towards its neck. One could imagine the harsh consequences of being chomped by it.
Probably due to Mogensha’s vicious and accurate bullets striking it with searing agony, that fiend popped out its long neck from the water; aiming towards Mogensha, it jetted out a translucent colorless venom at him!
Facing this venomous move, Reef immediately tore forward to block Brother Black’s front.
Venomous fluids splashed against Reef’s shield, before splattering to the sides. The ‘Alien Shield’ was totally fine, where the venomous fluid failed to corrode through it; droplets of venomous dew trickled down its surface.
When the venomous fluids splashed onto the deck, one could see cyan fumes curling up. Though the deck was crafted with extremely solid and wear resistant wood, a puddle of charred black tained its surface.
However, some of the venomous fluid spinkled against Reef’s face, as he felt his cheeks burning terribly. When the thick charred pungent assailed his nose, it followed up with a spicy blazing sore! Half of his sideburns had been burnt away.
If he had been splashed head on, he would probably have to pay a trip to Korea for plastic surgery after returning to the real world.
Even though Sheyan had shouted a warning; the venomous splash carried no regulation, as it smashed against a pirate who failed to dodge in time.
His entire right arm emitted sizzling sounds; yet strangely, it was as though he didn’t feel pain at all. Merely, he stared lifelessly at his boiling right arm, bubbling, before it ulcerated and dissolved. Ever since then, his consciousness failed to return to him.
At this very moment, a figure strided out with large steps; unsheathing a sword from his waist before slashing it down, directly severing the pirate’s shoulder!
In a flash, the severed right arm was corroded cleanly, as though it had been tossed into concentrated sulfuric acid.
That pirate was unyielding; knowing that he had escaped from death’s door, he hastily contained the blood flow as he endured the agony from a severed arm, before bowing humbly to Old Bath.
Indeed, his benefactor was former Commander Old Bath of the navy. This old head was Philip’s sword instructor, and held an illustrious reputation. His temper was foul but resolute, and was a headache for Sheyan. Killing him would seemingly affect the morale of the former marines, but not killing him was a waste of food supplies. It was a simple but tough choice.
Yet although Old Bath possessed daunting strength, to Sheyan and buddies, they didn’t really place him in their eyes.
At present, Sheyan’s reputation had inflated exorbitantly amongst his crew, and even the marines had no other alternatives of escape left but to yield completely to him. Sheyan wasn’t afraid of Bath starting any uprising.
More critically, this old head was terribly old-fashioned; knowing that he was a prisoner of war, he adhered strictly to the conduct of a captive. He absolutely wouldn’t follow the footsteps of his colleague like Philip and his crew, trying to ignite the gunpowder storage to repay Sheyan’s kindness.
Despite that, old Bath’s present abrupt action was seemingly out of Sheyan’s expectation. If it was a former british marine who had been poisoned, it wouldn’t be strange if he reacted. Yet the one suffering was a pirate, and that was indeed thought-provoking.
Nevertheless, Sheyan was facing a tier-3 legendary creature. He had no time to contemplate other matters.
Shaking his head and tossing it to the back of his mind, he discussed with Reef who was currently awaiting in strict formation.
"It is simply inconceivable for us to rapidly dispatch it. Therefore, if it becomes too challenging to tank the front, then immediately breakthrough to become an official Growth-Hunter. As I was the previous holder of the ‘Aleku High Energy Injection’, I was able to check its usage process."
"The realm informed that once you employ that injection, it will instantly drag you into a state of inner realm. When that happens, you can take your time to check your considerations and slowly choose your desired path; because, in that state of inner realm, time will be extremely slow for you. That is until you officially become a Growth-Hunter, then the flow of time would return to normal."
Reaf earnestly nodded and replied.
"I got it."
By now, Mogensha’s trademark AK gunshots had been consistently piercing into the atmosphere. Despite the accuracy of a spraying AK being ridiculously low, the fiend before them was truly excessively massive. There wasn’t a question if he could land a hit or not.
With Brother Black’s constant spraying, his two viperwolf spirits had been summoned out in no time.
Although this was the ocean, their incisive claws still cruelly scrape against the flesh of the legendary Chupacabra; while chomping away incessantly.
The infuriated Chupacabra then responded by unleashing repeatedly torrents of venom. Instead, the crew was prepared this time, and none was fatally wounded.
As the Chupacabra gradually approached, a regiment of red glow suddenly combusted at the tip of the ship’s bow.
Unbeknownst when, Ol’Seadog had crept to the ship’s bow with men, and stationed 2 two-pounder cannons there. The cannonballs for this cannon were primarily loaded with shrapnel shells, and ushered horrifying damages in such a close proximity of 50 metres.
As two thunderous boom resounded, two ghastly bitter wounds emerged on the Chupacabra’s body. Its reddened flesh squirmed continuously, attempting to forcefully squeeze out the shrapnel lodged within its flesh.
Under the immense agony, it suddenly released an incomparably thrilling hiss as it slapped its thick brutish tail mightily against the sea; abruptly conjuring a massive wave of 5-6 metres.
Flushing in like a water rampart, the waves heavily compacted against the ship’s bow!
Boom! The entire several kiloton ship was immediately skewed upwards by 45 degrees!
Such an abrupt collision of epic proportion, instantly sent several pirates howling in terror as they rolled and fell overboard.
Sheyan’s pupils immediately shrank. As expected, once a legendary creature leveraged its water homeground, it could wholly exhibit a strength an entire tier above it!
Nevertheless, Sheyan had brazenly killed such a gigantic animal like the sperm whale, when he was still an ordinary mortal.
He understood the weakness of creatures in such category. Once one approached extremely near it, such creatures would plunge into an extremely awkward predicament.
Just like those 2 viperwolf spirits that Brother Black had summoned. They were still vigorous out a sea, while insatiably nibbling at the Chupacabra’s body; where the Chupacabra was powerless against them.
In no time, this massive sea beast had encroached within 30 metres of the ship. Presently, Reef was stationed at the ship’s bow, with a shield on his left and a lightsaber on his right; steady like a mountain. At this instant, Sheyan pulled out ‘Ambition’, and aimed towards the Chupacabra's head.
The winds blew refreshingly against Sheyan’s face. The fragrance of the sea felt like his mother was embracing him by her side. His hands were as steady as a boulder as he gripped a musket!
Yet he had to admit, the current threat of ‘Ambition’ had since resigned from the valiant leading post to a second line of duty.
Sheyan now treated it as a supporting reinforcement instead. His primary usage for it no longer resided in its damage, but the 2 second stunning duration and the inevitable hit property of its ‘Rum & Songs’ ability.
Undoubtedly, delivering a vicious 2 second stun onto this tier-3 massive legendary creature, would allow Reef more time to adjust at the front, and attract the main attacking focus of this fiend.
However, at the instance Sheyan retrieved ‘Ambition’ from his interspatial storage! A moist and cooling sea breeze touched against the Chupacabra, along with a familiarity tinge and saltiness.
At this moment, it was as though in this turbulent surging sea, a colossal beast was parading around awe-inspiringly at an exceedingly distant area. Abruptly, a pulse of powerfully mysterious connection produced a throbbing within the Chupacabra!
Instantly, it felt a wave of unexplainable sensation discharged by that peculiar musket. Such a sensation could only be described with a single word – deterrence!
A ruthless deterrence!
Still floating in the water, Sheyan could fathom a certain transformation occurring in the surrounding sea; even to the point of stagnating. Yet the one with the largest reaction, was only that legendary creature – the Chupacabra.
It was originally desiring to unleash its fury against these pesky bugs; yet in this short span of time, an insanely fearsome and astronomical deterrence had flushed in from ahead.
That aura wasn't something the current it could shoulder. It was as if a fanatical whirlpool of incisive spikes was whirling in; whereby once it reaches, the Chupacabra would perish!
An event that left everyone flabbergasted then occurred.
After the Chupacabra had gain the upperhand by slapping a massive wave towards them, everyone had made adequate preparations for the worst; that today would be their deaths by shipwreck.
Yet the most impossible thing happened and the strangest scene played out. This massive sea beast, having already swam within 30 metres of this ship, suddenly unleashed a melancholic hiss.
To anyone who could comprehend hissing, this hiss was brimming with a tremendous fear. The Chupacabra was practically like a wild dog encountering a ferocious tiger!
