16. Predatory Beast

-Basilio Beltrán POV-

This is incredible, after this trip we can rest for a few months, it is something worthy of the 3 most important families on the continent.

While looking everywhere I felt an aura that I have bristled my skin, it was not out of fear, this aura I had felt before, I looked towards the origin, It was in the hold of the boat.

Roldan approached me.

"Did you feel it? I wonder excitedly

"Yes, I felt it"

I could see the excitement in his eyes and he could see how excited he was.

It was the aura emitted by a legendary weapon.

What the hell did the Bashtar want to do here? who was the cause of their defeat? Many questions formed in my head.

I had no doubt, this is the best loot we have found in 15 years.

We kept collecting some things like furniture, cannons, chests, glass, and more, two hours later there was nothing left.

Since we entered the sea I have a strange feeling, when I saw the cadavers on the ship that feeling grew, we found several cadavers, they were all users above the silver rank.

From the style in which they died, I am sure that it was an extreme-grade beast that caused the death of all these warriors.

This feeling grew more and more when we were ready to rise to the surface, but at that moment I felt a gaze, that gaze caused me an involuntary tremor.

Automatically take my sword, I started to search all over the seabed but I couldn't find the origin, I swam a little up looking for Roldan but I felt that look again.

Now that I think about it since we entered the sea I have had a strange feeling, something was troubling me, I quickly swam towards Ronan, when I got closer I saw that he had a shocked look.

I'm an asshole, this is very bad.

"Basilio, you noticed that there is no beast nearby," he said with a serious face.

Hearing those words, cold ran through my body.

How could I ignore that? I knew that the look was related to that, I looked at Ronan he took out the gold medallion on his chest, ready to send a signal.

At that moment a pressure arose from the sand below us, Ronan sent quickly a signal through the medallion.

Before we can react the beast came out of the arena, it was fucking huge, if we compared it to my baby, it was 3 times bigger, it had a single eye of intense red color, 4 aberrant fins, and a tail covered in huge spines came out of his big blue shell covered in sand, mustaches adorned his horrible face.

The appearance of this was very sudden, this damn thing was watching us all the time without attacking, that means it can hide its presence and only some beasts can do this, these are the predatory beasts.

This thing wants to play with us, that's why it doesn't attack us by surprise, it wants to hunt us just for fun, motherfucker, I'm really angry.

The beast looked at us curiously for just a second and charged towards us at high speed.

(SHARK CANNON) (MARINE PULSE)

Ronald and I attacked at the same time, the attacks were directed at the beast making it stop, at that moment it opened its huge mouth, lines of huge fangs sharp as a sword filled its mouth

He fired a water cannon at us, it was so powerful that we had to quickly dodge, Roldan went in a different direction than mine.

The beast opened its mouth again and launched another water cannon towards me.

* ROOOOARR *

A bestial roar came out of my mouth that managed to stop the attack of that beast, my magic seed allows me to use 3 types of magic, water magic, bestial magic and body magic, the roar I use is a rank A technique.

Seeing that her attack did not reach me, the beast began to fire successive attacks, I cannot contain them all with the same method, I began to swim to dodge the attacks.

The red-eye of the beast did not lose sight of me for a second, it seemed that I was enjoying that, that son of a bitch did not see me as a rival, he looked at me like a prey.

Suddenly the attacks stopped, I looked in his direction, I would swear that the beast had a smile on its face, at that moment he opened two other yellow eyes.

I knew that something bad was about to happen, instantly I ran my energy through every part of my body, the beast let out a roar that destroyed my eardrums, I felt my whole body tremble, in the next moment the attack hit my body.

Blood came from my ear, from my mouth and my nose, a hellish pain overwhelmed my mind, motherfucker you keep playing with me

It is the end, or so I would have thought a few years ago but now it is different, the last time I met an extreme-grade predatory beast was a catastrophe, I almost died in that fight.

Back then I believed that my force was incomparable, but that beast showed how arrogant I was, from that day I trained to exhaustion, I became strong and achieved great things.

Now I wanted to see what happened to my body when I received an attack of this magnitude, I was pushed many meters back, my whole body hurt, but a smile appeared on my face, although several bones were broken this attack is nothing that threatens my life, my physical strengthening is incredible.

I was anxious to try my most powerful technique, a technique that fused all the elements that I have comprehended into one, achieving the legendary perfect synergy.

I trained quite a few years to achieve this skill, but it was worth, it after being able to control it at will earned me the nickname "the king

shark ", the strongest man in the southern sea.

It was time to test if I merit that title, I looked at the beast with a challenging look, the beast's look changed from surprise to happiness.

The body of the beast changed, it started to shrink quickly, it stopped when it was 3 meters high and 6 meters long, I don't know why it changed but I know it is not good for me.

In less than a second the beast charged towards me, I advanced towards it preparing my sword to attack the beast the sword aura leaked in all the area, I made a cut towards the beast.

A stream of air cut through the water, as it headed towards the beast, the beast charged towards the attack without defending itself, the attack and the beast collided.

* BOOOOM! *

An explosion resonated on the seafloor, the impact of the collision was very great, after the water calmed down I looked at the beast, it did not have a single scratch.

The beast looked at me, in her eyes, there was a touch of disdain, arrogance, and mockery.

Stupid beast, you thought that's all my power.

He was prepared to make another attack when a figure approached the beast quickly.

* BOOOOM! *

The sound of another explosion was heard, the temperature quickly dropped, Roldan in his hybrid form carried the Trident of the Furious Ice Dragon, the beast was pushed back with that attack, while its scales began to freeze.

The power of the legendary weapons is terrifying, look at the sword in my hand, it was the Windwalser, one of the 12 legendary swords, it was on the same level as Roldan's trident, or could be even higher, it is a misfortune that I have never been able to fully control it.

While the beast was recovering from the blow, it released an enormous killing intent, it was so large that it could make silver rank users pass out if they were nearby.

Roldan released his own killing intent, the beast looked at him with uncontrollable fury, if he could speak for sure he would accuse us of cheating, but it is his fault, who said he will fight alone.

It seems that Roldan took advantage of the beast's distraction to use his hybrid form, now it's up to him to distract this guy while I also prepare for a massive fight.

I ran energy throughout my body, my previous wounds were restored and energy began to fuse with my body, three types of magic ran madly through my body until it covered every space in my body.

My body size began to change, my face was deformed, my muscles, my blood, my organs, and my bones were transformed in a matter of a second my body entered a hybrid form, I was half-man half-shark, all my physical abilities increased right away,

While stabilizing the energy in my body, very loud explosions sounded when I looked towards the place of the battle I was surprised, Roldan had blood coming out of his mouth, it seems that the beast was not having mercy, Roldan found it hard to bear the attacks of the beast.

I quickly approached the beast and attacked with force, high-level techniques were conjured in succession if anyone saw this fight without a doubt they would be overwhelmed by the amount of magic that fluctuated in the water.

I attacked from the front, Roldan attacked from the sides, the beast waved its tail to all sides, the tentacles on its face stretched trying to catch us, he fired water cannons, tried to ram us, to everything possible to kill us, the beast was furious at our attacks.

Suddenly the beast stopped attacking and looked towards a place in the distance, before we could do anything the beast shot out at high speed, heading towards the ship.

To make Dragan withdraw I had to say those words, it seems like I will have to use that power again.

No, I can still fight, if I can't beat him alone, Roldan and Dragan are still there, maybe together we can beat this son of a bitch, now that Dan and Marcus are with me I have more reasons not to use those.

After hearing my words Dragan quickly followed Roldan, the beast was so furious that he charged Dragan with killing intent and I attacked her with Grade A techniques but seemed determined to finish off Dragan.

* ABYSMAL MAREMOTE *

A great wave arose from the bottom and headed towards Dragan, this was the first great technique that the beast used, I felt the energy of the abyss in that great wave.

(FIST OF THE KING OF THE SEA)

I hit the tide with all my might, an S-grade technique that combines the elements of water and bestial power, as I saw the beast recoil as a smile formed on my face.

The beast understood that it couldn't reach Dragan or the ship if it didn't kill me, he looked at me for a second and a voice sounded in the surroundings.

* YOU THINK YOU ARE A THREAT TO ME; YOU ARE NO MORE THAN AN INSECT, I WILL KILL YOU AND THEN I WILL KILL EVERYONE YOU TRY TO PROTECT *

I had a bad feeling, I took my sword and I backed away quickly, in the place where I was, a sound wave was shot, it was so powerful that the water in that place disappeared, at that moment I knew there was no going back, I had to kill he or he would kill me.
