Chapter 848: Collection

Since there no was no direct fighting allowed in the cities of the Depths, then Sage had no need to leave any powerful bodyguards at the Prosperity Company theater. The only real downside of doing business here was the expensive transportation fees. If their goods werent produced locally then it would be very expensive to ship them in from the Lang Clan. While he was here it would be extremely simple for him to bring things out from the Inner World, but there was a limit to the amount of goods he could leave them. They would need to be most self-sufficient so he chose to create a presence that could make money without needing a large supply of materials. Hopefully in the future, others from the Lang Clan could also come to the Depths to train, but there was no telling when that would start so it was best if they could survive here on their own.

With the business in the capable hands of some of the most skilled managers from the Inner World along with the top works from a film industry spanning thousands of years, they would really have to be foolish to fail.

Days later.

When its mouth was open its passage caused a huge trail of small bubbles. Sage wasnt sure why such a thing happened. It could be because of how fast it was moving, maybe it spit out air as propulsion? Or maybe it was because it had its mouth open and bubbles formed in the water that was sucked through it? Maybe it just made the bubbles on purpose to disorient its prey? He really had no idea, but it made for quite the impressive sight. There must have been millions of tiny bubbles in range of his vision, acting as a visual reminder of how fast the Hellmouth Ray was and how much ground it could cover. These bubble trails showed the rays path, but they were also more and more inaccurate as time passed and they dispersed upwards.

After the initial ambush, Sage had a much easier time taking on the gigantic Hellmouth Ray. It would have been really bad to be caught unaware as the giant creature would have swallowed him up and used those huge fangs to tear him to pieces. He felt very lucky and grateful to have once stumbled upon the legacy left behind by the Timeless Master as it had saved his life many times. At this time though, his Foresight was only marginally effective. The Hellmouth Ray was just too fast and if he didnt immediately flee hed be in grave danger.

While Sages straight line speed underwater was faster than most of the sea life he ran into, this giant ray had him completely outclassed. It took everything he had to avoid its furious charge, but it was not that one dimensional. When it passed by him, its tail swung down and smashed against his shoulder. The portion of the Jade mantle at this place was suddenly covered in giant cracks, and lost three quarters of its thickness in an instant. Sage resisted the urge to vomit from the internal damage he suffered and focused instead on neutralizing the speed of the Hellmouth Ray.

For a moment he thought about falling into that nightmare pit that was its mouth, but then he realized he had no idea if his plan of attacking it from the inside would even work. He really did not want to figure how long he could last against those giant sword fangs twice the height of a man. If it closed its mouth and started chewing how long could Sage last? It was a much better idea to just wait and not get caught.
