Chapter-3 Monsters of the sea

Magma Fist!" yelled Patrick as his arm turned into lava and he punched a snake-like creature with six tentacles and nine eyes.

The creature shrieked as the hot magma engulfed it. The intense heat created temporary air pockets, preventing the magma from being instantly extinguished by the water. As the magma cooled, it formed a unique obsidian statue.

"Disperse," said Patrick, punching the statue and breaking it into countless pieces.

A woman's scream pierced the air, catching Patrick's attention. He looked in the direction of the scream, muttering, "Ah.. woman," as his magma-covered fist turned into obsidian. He ran towards the next monster, seeing a light streak through the sky towards a fish-woman with a strong, sucking mouth.

"Now, now, you shouldn't harm a beautiful lady like this," said SpongeBob as he kicked the monster away.

"Oh, thank you, Admiral," said the woman, trying to kiss SpongeBob.

"Hell nah," said SpongeBob, knowing how many things had been sucked by those lips. He dispersed into light and headed towards the Sea Clan.

"BEACHBURG," a heavy voice echoed, causing the sea to tremble as a giant crab walked towards Beachburg. His shell a dazzling display of colors adorned with countless treasures and shiny objects. His bioluminescent body glowed eerily in the dim underwater light, making him look both majestic and menacing. Long, spindly legs supported his massive frame, and his large claws glinted with the promise of crushing power. Tamatoa's small, beady eyes gleamed with a mischievous light, and his sharp, jagged teeth were bared in a sinister grin.

"Tamatoa!" yelled Patrick, his obsidian hand cracking as magma started to leak from the fissures. The molten rock quickly froze into obsidian, forming a gauntlet adorned with menacing spikes.

Patrick struggled against Tamatoa's colossal strength, his obsidian gauntlet shattering under the force of the giant crab's attack. As the magma leaked from his hand, Patrick used it to strike back, but Tamatoa's immense power and size began to overwhelm him.

"You're out of your depth, little starfish!" Tamatoa taunted, his claws snapping dangerously close to Patrick.

Patrick grimaced, dodging another swipe. Despite his best efforts, the raw magma wasn't enough to turn the tide. Each clash pushed him back, and he found himself on the defensive, barely able to keep up with Tamatoa's relentless assault.

Just as Tamatoa's claw was about to strike a decisive blow, an air bubble descended rapidly from above, bursting open to reveal Ashriel inside.

"Master!" Patrick gasped, relief washing over him.

Tamatoa's eyes narrowed as he turned his attention to the newcomer. "Who's this? Another puny challenger?"

"Glugh, glugh, glugh," said Ashriel, bubbles forming from his mouth.

"Kage/Grandmaster level soul," translated SpongeBob as he created a bubble to help Ashriel.

"Ha...ha...ha," Ashriel took a deep breath, then looked at Patrick with a smile. His chains extended out of the bubble. "Patrick, coat the chain in lava," he instructed, eyeing Tamatoa.

"Hm," Patrick nodded as lava started to cover the chain.

"Stop," said Ashriel once the chain was coated in lava.

"Are you fuckers ignoring me?" shouted Tamatoa angrily, rushing forward.

"Ara, ara, ara," a cold voice echoed as ice began to spread towards Tamatoa.

"ICE AGE," said Squidward, controlling his ability so he didn't freeze the entire ocean.

"Chupi chupi no chapa chapa," said SpongeBob as he launched a light beam at Tamatoa.

"Crack!" The ice shattered before the light could hit it. Tamatoa had escaped. "oioioi it's dubi dubi no daba daba," he said as his claws started to glow with bioluminescence, rushing towards Squidward.

"Die, ugly fucker," Tamatoa growled, his claws glowing as he charged at Squidward.

"Heheheh," he laughed as he neared Squidward.

"Slash!"

"Splutter!" A cutting sound echoed through the sea as an obsidian chain severed one of Tamatoa's claws.

"Crack!" The obsidian chain cracked.

"Ahhhhh, my hand!" roared Tamatoa as he glowed even more intensely.

"Slash, slash, slash!" Chains cut Tamatoa simultaneously before cracking.

"Nobody calls my soldiers ugly except me," said Ashriel as he glared at Tamatoa.

"Illusory Moon," Ashriel intoned, and Tamatoa stopped roaring in pain.

"Hahaha, yes, I am the king of the sea—" Tamatoa couldn't complete the sentence as Ashriel's chain converged to form a sword, which spun and drilled through his head.

"Come to daddy," muttered Ashriel as Tamatoa's soul was absorbed by him.

He had killed 50 Chunin/Knight-ranked creatures and 30 Jonin/Paladin-ranked monsters, most by sneak attack. Now, a Kage too.

"COUGH," Ashriel coughed up blood.

"Blood," he thought as his mark glowed and a book appeared.

"Turn," he immediately flipped to the page where his status and the number of souls were written.

[Current number of souls: -1081 normal and a Kage level soul have been deducted.]

[Devour as many souls as possible.]

[Current time left to live: 6 hours.]

"Bang," Ashriel felt gravity affecting him as he fell into darkness once again.

----

A white orb was disintegrating slowly, connected by a red thread to a stone cocoon and a giant tree.

"Swish!" Red and blue energy surged towards the orb, causing it to begin healing. However, the energies started to clash, preventing the soul from fully healing and causing turmoil in the dark place.
