Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Leviathan, The Water Spirit King

Year ??? - Clermont's ship

(Alastor POV)

Under the clouds blocking out the midday sun, we feel the pressure of the being rising to the surface.

"..."

Standing on the funnel of the ship, I stare at the monstrosity in front of me.

A huge being resembling a sea serpent with dark blue scales and blue eyes expands its body across the entire ocean in sight.

"ah" Clermont

The head filled with countless fins and four tentacles to its sides approaches the ship, making Clermont fall to his butt.

{What's your business here, humans?} Leviathan

Telepathy, it seems to be the sovereign rank preferred way of communication.

{I didn't ask for any sacrifice this century} Leviathan

Words filled with hostility, the creature with a head four times the size of the ship and teeth as big as us is not pleased to see us.

"I am here to seek your help!"

{Help?} Leviathan

"My partner, a fire spirit, is dying and..."

{SILENCE!!!} Leviathan

Even though he didn't use his voice, the ocean trembled together with that telepathic message.

{You have the nerve to ask for my help? You should be grateful that I didn't devour you and that piece of junk you float on!}

Only another elemental spirit can help me!

"Please hear me out!"

{Stop wasting my time, leave now or die!} Leviathan

There is no more room for words, I can predict that if I open my mouth again he will destroy the ship in that same instant.

"It seems this is it"

I turn around and speak to the ship captain.

"It is a shame, but we can only leave this place" Clermont

He gets up off the floor and starts walking to the helm.

"What I mean is that this is where our paths diverge"

He turns around and looks at me with shocked eyes.

"Are you really going to do it?" Clermont

I nod.

"Ifrit needs my help"

Even now her spiritual power keeps decreasing.

"I know that you are strong, but this is the ocean and that is the lord of it!" Clermont

"I am well aware of it"

Fighting without footing is no joke, but there is no other way.

"...I'm not going to involve my ship in this"

"I know"

This ship is important to him, and his priority on this is clear.

"But I will not let you fight barehanded either" Clermont

"?"

He walks to the center of the deck and opens a compartment on the floor.

"That is?!"

"I was thinking of using it myself, but I guess that stealing from a friend is not good"

My Adamantite war hammer returns to my hand.

"I will turn the ship around, do you care about giving me a push?"

"Of course"

We walk together to the center of the ship.

"Next time you will invite the food" Clermont

He takes the helm.

"It is a promise, my friend"

And I keep walking toward the back of the ship as it turns.

{Run away like the weakling you are} Leviathan

As soon as the ship completes the turn, I jump off and use my warhammer to hit it with just enough strength to not break it.

{!!!}

The ship disappears into the distance as the lord of the ocean stares at me.

This pressure cannot be compared to that of Titan, this is a Sovereign Rank spirit ready to kill.

{So you have chosen dead} Leviathan

I fall into the ocean and stay afloat by kicking the water.

"That is never an option"

The water around me freezes, capturing me into solid water.

{What a stupid bravado} Leviathan

The sun in my chest shines.

{Impossible} Leviathan

That same water around me starts to boil.

"Come at me, Water Elemental King!"

His tail rises from my right side and rushes over me.

{You're just a sea flea!} Leviathan

I swim forward, barely dodging his attack.

{Just resign yourself to your death!} Leviathan

The four tentacles on its head move faster than its tail to strike my body, I will not be able to dodge them at this speed.

"Faster!"

The flames from my feet and fists propel my body straight into the sea lord's mouth.

{If you want to be a sacrifice so much, then I will grant you that privilege} Leviathan

The jaw of the biggest living creature in the world starts closing in front of me, no trick of mine could save me if I am trapped in between.

"Now or never!"

My warhammer clad itself in flames burning from my mana.

"Crimson hammer!"

And stopping just before the range of his bite, I hit one of his lower teeth with all my strength.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The tip of the teeth brokes and comes out flying.

{DIE!!!!}

A water cannon blast the side of a house comes out of its mouth.

"Firewall!!"

My spell at its maximum output does not stop the attack and I am pushed back into the water.

"UGH!"

Clashing at high speed with the water's surface almost breaks all my bones.

{I am not done with you}

The water beam stops pushing me deeper into the ocean.

{Come out, it was been a while since I got something to play with and I'm going to enjoy it}

That will not be necessary.

[Thanks for your help]

My objective was never to defeat him.

{?}

I already got all I needed to help Ifrit.

[Goodbye]

I swim on the contrary direction of the Water elemental spirit.

{Dont you dare run away now!}

He tries to use the water around me to stop me, but I use my flames to boil them and the propulsion in my feet takes me into the air and away from him.

{...Coward!}

While airborne, I start the treatment for Ifrit.

Using my left hand as a sacrifice, I extract the spiritual power from the teeth of Leviathan.

"UUGGGHH!!"

The purple fire covers my hand, breaking all the fingers on it.

"Get... in... there!"

And I forcefully inject it into the sleeping Ifrit.

"..."

The color of my left hand now matches the dark tone of my right one, but even so...

"It is a relief"

Ifrit seems to have recovered most of her spiritual power.

{I did not allow you to leave!}

Casting enough water to simulate a giant tsunami, the Water Spirit King chases behind me.
