I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 226: Bloodlust (2)

It was a firm fact that Osira had become too difficult to catch up with. Her speed was breaking over eighty-miles-per-hour, which was rather tremendous!

And Gerlach who was the most experienced in terms of powers that come from the holy-tar, had it difficult to understand how the lady was achieving such speed.

The geezer was utterly dumbfounded when he saw a shark being bitten in half from the same woman! Her bite couldn't possibly be strong enough to cut through a three-foot-long shark, so evidently more physics were included into it!

Friction was one factor, because her collision with the enemy would be enough to cause damage. And when that is combined with a bite: the result became more lethal, and it was seemingly combined with a head-butt too!

So in other words, the laws of physics themselves, were cooperating to make this lady into a powerful killing machine. Nothing was working against her!

And through every kill, she became more and more powerful ~ which had managed to make the situation terrifying, even for the massive great-white sharks who were stalking in the backgrounds.

In a bizarre way, the black-grouper had become super high; it was as if her head was numb but she could also think, observe and fight with over-working excellence!

A lot of fish who had the opportunity to watch her, expected the lady to become only more and more powerful. Which is why all observers went into quite a shock, when she simply stopped on top of the chaos and began shivering.

Some expected her to explode, a few even thought that the rush had stopped her heart, while some simply expected and hoped for her belly to turn towards the water's surface.

But contrary to what anyone could expect, something began generating in front of her forehead!

Most could not see what it was. While only a selected few who had better vision or other esteemed senses, could notice what was going on although they could not understand it.

Whatever was generating in front of the lady's head, shared the same colour as what this chaotic situation was coated with, red. With these circumstances, it made sense why most couldn't see this phenomenon.

Timothy had swum near to the water's surface, and even with his bad vision, it was easy for him to spot a sudden emergence of red - right where such colour wasn't supposed to be there.

This red-light that the lady was generating, grew thicker in colour and got the darkest shade of red. Not to mention, it grew bigger than any other light that the grouper could generate, almost seven-feet wide!

After it attained the darkest shade, the light was unleashed towards the feeding spree that was happening below her!

The shot managed to pass throughout the first few fish without damaging any of them whatsoever, even though such a result sounded rather bizarre.

But the situation accelerated once this ball of light sunk tens of meters deep in the waters, reaching right in the middle of the blood festival.

That was when Timothy, who was a narrow distance of a hundred meters away from the middle of the blood storm, felt himself being violently dragged towards where the red-ball of light had erupted!

The sea-waters themselves were moving towards the middle of the blood-mist, but thankfully such a pace halted after he was dragged just for a few meters!

If he was unlucky enough to be close to that eruption, he would be able to see the fabric of water and oxygen themselves, being torn apart just so the red-light could expand.

This procedure had shredded several sharks into a million pieces, but obviously the trouble did not stop there!

Because the ball of light didn't explode as one would expect it to, but charged against every living being that was close to it.

The creatures that were just ten-meters away, were completely shredded by the light who was spreading itself in all directions.

What fishes were just thirty-meters away from the eruption, had either withstood massively dangerous cuts or were blown in half.

While every other living being who was below the eighty-meter radius, had their entire supply of blood seeped out of them.

The light didn't force the blood out of these fish, but just completely eradicated it out of their bodies, as if it never existed to begin with ~ simply by passing near them!

It was a tremendously powerful blow, but thankfully none of the group that she considered as friends, had withstood any of that damage.

Instead, they were given the displeasure of seeing over a hundred sharks, twitching their way towards death.

And it seemed like the show was over there. As the largest apex predators that this mist had seen, swooped in to feed themselves on the battle remains. And since there wasn't even the slightest drop of blood left over around here, no other creature would be attracted.

Osira seemed to be done with her bloodlust as well, because she peeked at her friends and began swimming towards them. It was heavily unclear what her intent was, but the best guess was that she could not unleash another ball of red-light.

Once they got together, it was fair to say that everyone was more confused than the other, but thankfully they could all use reasoning.

The mantis shrimp was first to speak, and made the most sense. "Let's get out of here, we can't risk being caught by any sharks."

With that recommendation taken and used, they began heading further towards the west. It was clear that they were heading deeper towards enemy territory, but chances were that they will swim a bit easier.

Because a whole lot of sharks had been killed just a few minutes ago, meaning that Osira might have exhausted a bit of the dangers that this new environment offered.

...

A few hundred meters away from the mass slaughter, they managed to find a den that was bigger in the outside but portrayed a tiny entrance, rather elusive.

They were quick to label it as a base of operation, as peace itself felt easier to be found here where the group wasn't on each other's face.

There were many topics to crack open, but the first one was rather easy to pick; and Gerlach opened it first because no one else was comfortable to do it.

He cut to the case by stating, "I think that blood has helped you unlock a new type of powers... hmmm very interesting."
