Chapter 827: Mutant Armorana

It turns out the green Armorana had a poisonous bite, which Sage found out about the hard way. He used the same tactics upon it as the normal Armorana, hemming in its whole posse of escorts and then picking them off one by one. It took only a few strikes for him to disable them enough for him to capture and send into the Inner World. Surprisingly, even the followers here were pretty impressive examples of their species, so Sage did his best not to kill any of them. The last two of the green Armoranas guards were extremely fierce and Sage chose to overwhelm them. A quartet of Purple Mist Sect members appeared beside him and double teamed the two guards while Sage rushed in to deliver a knockout blow to the Armorana. Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

That was when it spun in place, opening its jaws and sinking a pair of fangs into Sages left arm in time with him smashing his right into its forehead. It was knocked into momentary shock by the blow and Sage wrapped it up with his Spirit Power, then tossed it into the Inner World. In just a few more seconds, the Purple Mist Sect members nabbed the other two and Sage sent all six of them to the Inner World as well. The poison was a type of paralytic and unlike others that might be compromised, Sage merely used it as a resource. The poison was pulled into his Poison Meridians and sent into his Poison Dantian and what he called the Nine Heart Arrangement. With his Foresight hed already known exactly what the mutated green Armorana was going to do and he chose the path that led to it giving him a venomous bite.

These Armorana were smart enough to always make at least some sort of desperate play at the last moment, so he maneuvered into the position that the Armorana thought was its most vicious move. Instead, it was just letting Sage take a sample of its venom, which collected into the central chamber of his Poison Dantian. Then, he produced a sample of it and sent it into the Inner World so his Soul Clone had a copy as well. In less than ten minutes, four days of testing had already been performed and Sage had a small vial in his hand. He swallowed the liquid inside and sent it to his Poison Dantian, where it mixed with the venom from the mutated green Armorana. Then he pulled over the poison from one of the other eight chambers and soon a virulent new concoction was created.

After capturing two Armorana and their attendants, Sage swam along in search of the Ghost Armorana once more. He still hadnt strayed far from the entrance and in the interest of safety he swam down towards the sea bed. It wasnt a clear bed of sand here like at Deep Shore, nor was it a brilliantly colored coral reef. Instead there were many rocks and stones with channels carved into them by the motion of the water. He took care to stay back and keep from startling them too much and instead he brought out a pillar of stone, standing it on top of the largest rock to use as a marker. A few fish and crustaceans were scared out of their homes by the huge stone, and a flurry of activity was started as they fled the area and became targets of the predators they sped past.

The pillar held a large quantity of Sages own aura, which he could use as to help him sense this location. Then, he would just need to swim upwards to find the entrance. Over the few hours he had explored around the entrance he didnt notice any movement, so he could only hope that it remained stationary.

While he was admiring his handiwork, he felt an ominous presence and spun around in time to see a hulking mass approaching him quickly. He darted away in the other direction, kicking against the water powerfully. Glancing back he used his Foresight to test his results against the thing that was following him. The factory building that was following in his wake was covered with large fins, each of them spiked with multiple sharply pointed spines. These fins shot out at every angle and were thin enough to look more like wide bladed swords than the fins of a fish. This look was even more pronounced given its coloration. The whole fish was the color of aged bronze, like an old statue given life. Its body was patterned with crooked vertical stripes of a bright brass color that make it look like this old statue had cracked apart in places to reveal the fresh unaged material beneath.

Seeing himself getting stabbed by those sword-like fins in a dozen different ways, Sage recognized this beast: Broken Bronze Lionfish.
