Chapter 628: Close Call
Sage suddenly regretted not having a big clock to toss into the Leatherbacks mouth, but he was also lacking the lifelong grudge. As if sensing his thoughts, the giant crocodile burst forth from the water, following up the sudden snap of jaws with a full body lunge. Throwing itself out of the mile wide river and jumping towards him with jaws stretched wide.
Not wanting to be made into a snack, Sage used Stormsbreath, and Divine Breath in combination with the Fluid Power Lines to release jets of air from his limbs, propelling him through the sky to jet out of reach. Adding a little jet propulsion to his double jump. It didnt give him as much upward force as the jump, but the sustained airflow helped control his horizontal motion. He had wanted to try such a maneuver, and unfortunately, he found it greatly lacking in comparison to using Cosmic Traction.
I got to use the double jump and hold at least once, that will have to do.
Even if Cosmic Traction was a great expenditure of energy, he had two cores now, his Qi regenerated even faster than it ever did. Divine Breath on the other hand took time for him to collect and compress air. If he blew it all on a single evasive maneuver, what would he use to attack later? With that thought in mind, Sage landed on the far bank of the river and used the last of his air reserves to propel the sticky ball at the end of a line of silk, aiming at the crocodiles tail as it spun around. With the leap strike unsuccessful it flopped back into the water and spun around to dive back down. During that spin, the thick line of silk attached to its tail. Given the size of his spider body, the thinnest silk line he could spin was about two inches thick, and it pulled hard on the Leatherback, arresting its momentum. A strand of hair was about twenty times thicker than a strand of spider silk, and it was said a strand of silk was five times stronger than steel of the same thickness.
It was too bad the death roll did little for the giant Diamond Eyed Leatherback. Despite the calm river looking like it had turned into violent rapids, it did little to free it from the silk line. When it rolled the same direction as the tie around its snout, Sage let it add more layers, when it rolled the other direction he manipulated the wire to stay in place. Rolling back and forth, the croc did little but tire itself and seal its mouth tighter. It tried to roll back and grab the line with its clawed toes, but Sage pulled on the line and used his Spirit Power to make it dance out of its grasp.
This fishing technique was already something that the Swamp Genesis Spider was experienced with. Any of the huge sea beasts that tried to break into its swamp would be caught and slowly toyed with until they either broke away and escaped, or were pulled into the spiders web to join its food supply. Sages wire controlling techniques only made it worse, and the crocodile was as good as dead once its initial ambush failed. Especially when Sage used the silk as a medium to transfer his Poison Qi. The poison rapidly drained the monsters stamina and shortened the fight that might have taken days or weeks of attrition, into just an hour. The crocodile only got more and more pathetic as time passed, until it finally floated listlessly on the surface, a look of defeat in its eyes.
The croc's jaws had snapped shut with terrifying force, enough to cause a sonic boom and Sage could sense a sort of crushing law as they did. It was an ambush hunter and all of its power was put into making an instant and immediate kill. Even if the scale was bigger, it was still a crocodile. They might have powerful bite force, but it was only for closing the jaw, the muscles related to opening them up were not nearly as strong. Sage came down towards the bank of the river and pulled the croc to the shoreline. As they neared each other, his giant spider body leapt into the air, dodging the sudden charge of the mountain sized crocodilian. Even with its jaws sealed it still had an armored body with sharp spines, and a massive bulk that restructured the landscape when its body block failed. It tripped and skidded across the ground, digging a trench that would soon turn into a lake or marsh area in the future. Where a normal person might cause a small divot in the ground by kicking a rock, their two gigantic bodies could build or destroy whole ecosystems with inadvertent actions.
After making its final attempt, Sage threw out a few more silk lines while in mid-air, launching them with bursts of air. He anchored the line on the ground at two sides, strapping the croc to the ground to restrain it so he could move in and wrap it into a giant cocoon. Then, with it completely incapacitated he finally sent it into the area that the Soul Clone had been preparing for the second half of the battle.
Others would hunt Demonic Beasts to collect precious resources, but he aimed to turn them into allies.
