17. Captain's strength
Dragan Dunham POV
Damn this beast is very strong and swift when I retreated I felt it coming after me, that last technique was too powerful, I'm sure it was a two-element S-rank technique, if the captain didn't stop that attack I would have died.
After we pushed the boat alongside Mister Roldan, we swam to the place where the beast and the captain fighting.
The scene caused me a great shock. To think that see me in such a worrying situation, I have to do my best to help the captain and Mr. Roldan.
The water around the captain was painted red, the captain was wounded.
As we approached Mr. Roldan took his trident and pointed it at the beast.
(SPEARS OF WINTER)
The water in front of Mr. Roldan froze creating an ice spear that was fired at the beast, the beast dodged the attack with a slight movement, when I believed that Mr. Roldan's attack failed, the spear broke into thousands of fragments and other lances beginning to form.
The beast that did not expect this, was caught in the rain of spears.
* BOOOOOM! * * BOOOOOM! ** BOOOOOM! *
Numerous explosions arose in the place where the beast was, the beast struggled to contain the ice spears, the captain used that moment to approach us.
"He is stronger than I thought, only by working together can we defeat him," the captain gasped.
"What do you know of?" Mr. Roldan asked.
"His scales are very hard, the most vulnerable part is his face, we must attack his eyes and his mouth if we want to hurt him, he uses attacks of water, sound, and darkness, he can combine them to make very powerful movements"
"His tail can grow, I was able to launch sharp attacks with his tail and when he feels desperate he keeps his limbs and his head leaving only his long tail out while turning on his body creating a very powerful whirlwind,"
"Only rank A and rank S attacks can hurt him a," said the captain with a sigh.
* AAAAAARGGH *
Just then a deafening voice generated huge sound waves, it was heard in various kilometers and the seawater trembled, the spears began to evaporate along with the water around.
* ROOOAARRR *
The captain gave a roar just as loud as the previous scream, the roar generating sound waves that crashed into the waves of the beast's scream.
When the ice lances disappeared in the place where the beast used to be, now there was a blue-haired man, he had scales all over his body and an extra eye on his forehead, his lips were smiling showing his triangular teeth, a long tail covered with thorns it grew from its body, its skin was blue and its palms and feet were like that of frogs, the beast transformed into a man.
"MOTHERFUCKERS, don't you see that I was about to kill him, now I will have to kill them all" a guttural voice came out of the beast's mouth.
This is wrong, I wanted to retire, but when I saw Mr. Roldan and the captain remain in his place, I forget those thoughts, take my weapon from my ring, a great golden ax, this weapon is not as powerful as the one carried by the two men next to me but it's made with the remains of an extreme rank beast.
"Since you want to die, I will grant them that wish," said the beast look my direction.
"At last you get serious, stupid beast, the only one that will die will be you" replied the captain.
"Since you are anxious you will be the first to die," said the beast with a smile.
At that moment the beast approached itself towards the captain extended his fist and the captain also advanced towards him.
The water around us fluctuated when the two collided, the pressure was so great that I was paralyzed for a second, they continued their fight while Mr. Roldan looked for an opening to attack the beast, he looked at me and said.
"I will use a sealing technique when I activate it, attacks with all your power this beast is too absurd"
The fight between the captain and the beast no longer seemed like a battle of this world, it was a fight between monsters, the two collided with high-range techniques, the confrontation between the sea king and a predatory beast, if we get out of this the Captain will be known as a legendary warrior.
"Fists of the King of beasts"
"SCREAM FROM THE ABYSS"
Two different battle styles, the captain attacked with his fists towards the waves of sound created by the beast, but the one who suffered the most damage in this battle was the captain.
While preparing one of my most powerful tench, the captain suddenly stopped moving, the beast was surprised by that and stopped attacking.
The captain closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them they were an intense golden color, at that moment he attacked the beast.
"DIVINE TECHNIQUE (FURY OF THE GOD OF THE SEA)"
At that moment the captain came up and started kicking and hitting the beast with incredible speed, it was so extraordinary, man-shark fighting against an anthropomorphic beast.
When they collided again the beast tried to dodge all of the captain's hits, but the captain was too fast and could not dodge them all.
The moment the beast was kicked in the abdomen and sent a few meters back, Mister Roldan took advantage of this to attack.
(ICE CHAINS - SEAL OF A THOUSAND YEARS)
The water around the beast froze and joined its body. The beast desperately tried to stop the ice but failed, the beast glared at Mister Roldan, before being caught by the ice, followed by a cut of Air headed towards the beast, the captain attacked his legendary weapon, the Windwalser sword.
* BOOOOOM *
I set out to attack as well, but before I could do anything I saw the beast explode within the seal.
The beast managed to break the seal, using a sound bomb, at that moment we were all pushed back by the explosion, when I looked towards that place, fear flooded my entire.
The beast was covered in black, I don't know what that black aura was but it was not a good thing, the scene was very sinister it seemed the same devil, completely black except for his eyes, red eyes that glared at me
The beast shook a bit and then reached out his hand at me, a sound wave came out of his hand, it was an extremely fast one.
At that moment my whole life went through my mind, from my childhood until today, I remembered the moments with my father, the day I married, the day my son was born, the day I joined the crew, all those memories filled my head.
The attack was getting closer and closer to me, 10 meters, 6 meters, 2 meters, 1 meter, just before hit me, he was in front of me, he was the captain.
He changes again, his eyes were golden, and around him was a strange aura, he could see golden energy fluctuating around him.
"Dragan helps Roldan back, I will use all my strength or we will not be able to finish that son of a bitch," said the captain.
"Basilio, if you use that again your years of life will be reduced" answered Mr. Roldan
"This beast is just as powerful as that guy, he seems to be one step away from reaching divine consciousness, I have to, Dan, Marcus and the rest are waiting for us, we have to finish this guy fast"
The captain's face was very serious, Mr. Roldan wanted to say something but he remained silent, he had used all his remaining energy in the seal and he had no strength left.
I did not know what to do at this moment when seeing this the captain formed a smile on his face, he looked at me and said.
"Hurry up Dragan, I'll finish this asshole quickly and catch up with you in a moment on the nearest island"
Hearing this, I took Mr. Roldan in his human form and began to walk away, but before we left we heard the voice of the beast.
"You are one of those guys, hahahaha, to think that I would meet one of you here, it's been a long time before I saw another one like you"
"Why? Are you afraid now? " replied the captain.
"Fear? This is more fun, I have never eaten a hero "said the beast while smiling wickedly showing his amber fangs.
I could not understand what the beast was said and I began to swim faster towards the nearest island, although we swam for a few kilometers, we still listening to the sounds of battle.
"Mister Roldan, will the captain be alright?" I asked for.
"Yes, he will be fine"
"But the beast is very powerful, we could not contain it together"
The smiled bitterly.
"Basilio had not yet used all his power"
"Why?"
"Because using all your strength has very serious consequences for your body," he said with a sad look.
I was silent and kept swimming, in the next instant I was paralyzed, a current of power reached us, we were so far from the battle and that energy still reached us, this power caused me a great shock.
This power was enormous, it was imposing, that was, I don't know how to explain it, but I think that only one word could be indicated to define that power, IT WAS DIVINE
Look at Mr. Roldan, he had a wry smile.
"Dragan remembers this feeling for the rest of your life, this power is the power that those chosen by the world can reach, this power is granted to them to stop a great danger, this is the power that the world gives us to defend ourselves, it is the will of God, it is the power of a hero, the power of your captain "
I was speechless, I couldn't believe what I was hearing, it was unlikely, I had heard stories about heroes, the current country of Zaria was founded by a hero, also the country of Mercia, there are many legends that talk about heroes, people who they exceed limits, users who reach the power of the gods.
I never believed that one of the people I admire the most is also a hero, why are there no stories about him? Why doesn't anyone sing his legend? When he saw my eyes, Mr. Ronan smiled and spoke again.
"Not all heroes have great stories, most of them die fighting against an enemy, using divine power is fatal to them, our human body cannot resist it, after using that power many times the heroes lose vitality, for that reason most heroes die young "
"Then the captain will die," I asked in shock
"No, Basilio has only used this power 1 time, this is the second" he still has about 100 years to live, "he replied with a smile.
"What is the heroes' mission?"
"This is not the time for you to know, I don't know much about that, your father old Drake understands it better, he was part of a hero's group after all"
"Sir, are you serious?"
"Yes, I have no reason to lie to you, your father helped Rishi and Basilio in the past, old Drake is full of mysteries."
"Mr. Roldan, why are you telling me all this?"
Mr. Roldan's face turned dark and he looked at me.
"Because the enemies of the world are moving and we the elderly must help, soon the world will suffer a great tragedy and the children we are caring for will play an important role in the result"
"Dan and Marcus' "
"Yes, Dan to be specific, do you remember the beast that killed the captain's daughter?"
"Yes, that day I was on the island"
"Those creatures are not normal, they will try anything to prevent a hero from becoming powerful, but they cannot attack heroes directly"
"Is Dan a hero too?"
"No, I don't know why those creatures want to eliminate Dan, he has already suffered 3 attacks in his life"
Mr. Roldan was silent for a moment.
"But I feel that he will be very important in the future, we must protect him for the good of the world"
After those words, Mr. Roldan did not speak again and we swam towards the island, we found some beasts along the way but they were annihilated, I think there are more mysteries in this world than he thought.
