BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM C.1032: High Waves, Higher Stakes (5)

As they neared the surface, the Chimaeric Demons increased their speed. They could see the hull of the ship above them, as how it appeared from below.

Nothing more than a dark shadow against the moonlit surface of the water. The lights were not much, though, and seeing the ship wasn't that easy.

With a last burst of speed, they broke through the waves, their massive bodies launching into the air like torpedoes shot from a submarine. It was just that their bodies were almost as big as a submarine.

Erik and the others saw the two as they arced over the ship. Water cascaded off their bodies as they soared through the air.

It would have been a breath-taking sight for everyone there, and not one of the good type. It was also beautiful.

In a way, it was, but of course, the people seeing it would have witnessed two gigantic monsters jumping over the ship they were on.

Luckily, those on the ship were all Chimaeric Demons, aside from June, Amber, Mira, and Emily, and they weren't easily scared, or taken by surprise by what happened around them.

The sea thaid, caught up in the chase, followed them without hesitation, too taken as it was from its rage. It to burst from the water, its body momentarily blocking out the moon as it passed over the ship.

For a moment, time seemed to slow. Erik and the others saw the sea thaid in all its terrifying glory. Its scales absorbed the light from the moon and started shimmering under the few sun rays reflected by the satellite.

There was a difference compared to the earlier jump, though. The creature's body wasn't in pristine state anymore, and was now covered in wounds from its battle with the clones.

In that moment, Erik got the information he told the biological supercomputer to provide to him as soon as the beast was outside of the water again.

A semi-transparent bluish screen appeared before his eyes, filled with data about the sea thaid.

Erik quickly analyzed the information about the sea creature. It was very strong - stronger than any monster he had fought before, but not as powerful as some others he had seen.

The creature had 57 neural links, which told Erik something about its origin. It wasn't from the Mur continent, but it was likely from a place similar to the Eldraith mountain range, but based within the deep.

Erik was sure about this because the creature was stronger than the Hevadrin, and that wasn't easy to accomplish.

But its intelligence was low, like all the other thaids out there, but slightly higher than usual. The Chimaeric Demons from this batch had around 374 strength points.

They were stronger, yes, but they had also been lucky that the creature had that brain crystal power, and not something else. Otherwise, with those levels of energy, he could have been much harder to fight.

<At this point, the best thing will be to leave the ships' weapons and make the Chimaeric Demons shapeshift into sea thaids.>

However, Erik had a bad feeling. Based on what was known about sea thaids, they were not as strong as the flying thaids; they were in between them and the land ones, but Erik started thinking that might not have been entirely true.

Maybe sea thaids were less than flying ones, which presented a bigger threat than the sea ones; maybe most sea thaids were weaker, but they were many, many more than the flying thaids; or it could just be that the sea thaids didn't simply stay at the ship's level and usually roamed around the deep. This could have meant that the sea thaids on the surface were the weakest ones. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

<Well, lucky me, I started getting some information about them... However, until I get more of them, I can't make guesses.>

As the sea thaid descended back towards the water, Erik decided it was time to end this. It was within the Chimaeric Demons' ability to do so. He sent another telepathic message to his clones.

<Take it down. Don't let it escape back to the depths.>

The Chimaeric Demons made the equivalent of a nod in their colossal bodies, and when all three were inside the water, one of the clones reached the thaid.

He slammed into the creature's side, his powerful tail driving them both towards the ship. The sea thaid made a surprised look and one of pain, its tail thrashing wildly, trying to use its strength against the monster. But the clone held firm, and then he sunk his teeth deep into the

thaid's flesh.

The other clone joined the fray a moment later. He aimed for the thaid's head, his jaws clamping down on the creature's snout. The sea thaid shook its head, trying to get both clones out of the way, but the Chimaeric Demon's grip was too strong.

The three massive creatures got close to the ship. The force of the fight sent up a towering spray of water that drenched everyone on deck.

Erik gripped the railing, his eyes fixed on the turbulent water. He could sense the fight through his mental link with the Chimaeric Demons.

Suddenly, the sea thaid burst from the water once more. It was a desperate attempt to shake

off its attackers, but the Chimaeric Demons chased after it. As the creature reached the apex of its jump, the two clones acted in synchronization.

They released a starlight fireball. Throwing the beast off course. At that point, it took a little

before they ended the beast.
