Chapter 146 Deep One Hybrid

Jin rushed forward to a single Deep One, only to realise that there were other two Deep Ones that jumped from the top of a roof to take him by surprise. Instead of stopping, Jin pushed forward even further, bashing the Deep One in through the door and into a storehouse, giving Jin some fighting space.

The Deep One was relentless, its webbed claws tried to scratch Jin but the living armour moved in time to block the scratch. However, Jin still felt the impact of its webbed claws. The other two Deep Ones moved in to surround Jin but they did not notice Boo on the ground left by Jin.

With another step towards Jin, Boo reacted by bursting out a series of bamboo spikes similar to how Jin used it against Werejackal Gold. The two Deep Ones were pierced by the spikes which caused one of them to die when one of the spikes pierced through its throat. However, with Jin's new inscription imbued by Yun, the Deep One was immediately captured. The other was stunned momentarily but tried using brute force for its way out of the spikes despite its injuries.

Meanwhile, Jin tried to slash the Deep One that he bashed through the abandoned storehouse but its skin was rubbery and the slash was neglected. "Damn, this is really harder than I thought."

Separately, Zeru was protecting Peppers as she cast her blasts of pent up fury. Compared to Jin, Zeru had an easier time defeating the Deep Ones. Despite using just a wooden sword and the Deep Ones' near impervious skin to slashes, Zeru opted for the stabbing option, or as he dubbed it - "The Perfectly Normal Poke."

He held his wooden sword like a Fencer with a rapier and his left hand at the back to support his stance. Every strike was a vital hit to the Deep Ones' organs, especially its heart which Peppers told them where it was. Zeru could not imagine how much knowledge that little kid had in her head.

Milk, on the other hand, was casting support spells for Zeru, making his strikes more accurate and swift. She occasionally smacked them with her giant book when Zeru was busy with another Deep One which caused them to stagger if they came too close, buying Zeru some time to defeat them too.

"Peppers, even though you have a near infinite source of mana, you should stop once in a while or else your body would not be able to take it. " Milk commented to Peppers as she could see Peppers breathing slightly harder. The fire blasts not only caused great damage to the fishing port but the pure force annihilated the Deep Ones, instantly adding them into Jin's repertoire of monsters. Of course, Jin would eventually have a headache when he builds up his Monster Home instance but for now, that was another problem for the future.

"Seriously, if Jin let me out more to fight, I could train more!" Peppers wiped her sweat as she supported herself with her magical staff. Even so, her magical staff was already gathering power for the next fire blast, all it required was Peppers' command.

"Achoo!" Jin coincidentally sneezed loudly which startled the Deep One for a second, and unknowingly Jin's katana was able to pierce through its rubbery skin and into its vital organs. Jin did not know exactly how that happened but took the opportunity to use Lazy Panda Swipe to slam the Deep One to the ground, causing it to disappear.

When Jin picked up Boo and looked around the abandoned storehouse, there were layers of dust and spider webs at the corners of the area, indicating that this fishing port could have had been a trap all along.

"Why did Yun bring us here..." Jin thought to himself which Yun replied him with a simple answer. "The System provided the coordinates. It determined that the best quality of fishes would be right over here."

"Alright." Jin pushed forward and ignored the excuse or reason that Yun provided. He knew the system was doing what was best for itself rather than the overseeing the safety of Jin and the others.

As he got out of the warehouse, he noticed a group of armoured Deep Ones moving towards the bellators. Zeru was currently busy with the couple of Deep Ones that were currently surrounding them which Peppers even had to stop her long-range bombardment and used psychic blasts to push the Deep ones away.

"Damn, at this speed, I won't be able to help them in time!" Jin decided to take the risk and try Panda Tumbling. He had seen how the pandas in the zoo tumbled all around him, evading his grab at times just to play with him. In addition, He even read up on it during his dinner. Theory wise, he had grasped the basics, and now for the application.

Jin focused his chi into his leg muscles especially in the quad and hamstrings as he leapt to dive forward. When he covered a certain amount of distance with his diving leap, he quickly curled himself up like a panda rolling down the hill, causing his speed to increase rapidly.

The constant tumbling action made him spin even more furiously from being a cute little panda rolling down a hill to a large wheel speeding down the mountains. Like Zonic the Hedgehog, Jin turned into an amalgamation of white and black energy ball rolling towards the armoured Deep Ones and crashing into them.

It did not end right there, the crash delivered a gushing impact of chi energy that caused the Deep Ones to disperse from their organised charge. Jin then spread his arms and legs from his curl position and struck one of the Deep Ones that was knocked back.

Zeru did not waste any time assisting Jin after he finished slaying the Deep Ones that engaged them. Like a hunter using his spear to catching a fish flowing along rivers, Zeru pierced an unvigilant Deep One through his heart causing it to cough out greyish blood out.

When all this was happening, Mayor Swabs went to its boat wanting to escape from the chaos. "This is crazy! How can these visitors be this strong?!" Swabs went into the deck of his boat and bit his wrist. As a Deep One Hybrid, he let his slightly greyish red blood flow out from his wrist as he hurried to draw a ritual circle on the deck of his boat.

"Oh Lord Dagen, listen to the pleas of your filial supporter! What is dead may never die, but rise again, harder and stronger!" Swabs cried as he later used his right hand to forcibly stab through his chest. He caressed his beating heart even though pain coursed through his entire body. The beating of his heart quicken due to the sudden loss of blood but Swabs massaged his heart to calm down before squeezing it, causing him to drop flat at the deck of the boat.

Swab's personal sacrifice, fervent prayers had met the expectation of his Lord Dagen, the wretch Fish God of the Deep. The Great Old One.
