Chapter 849: Ray

After taking the hit, Sage was in no mood to take more. While the Hellmouth Ray was circling back around for another attack run, Sage started swimming in the opposite direction. He wasnt fast enough to escape from the ray, but that wasnt his intention. Since he knew it was coming towards him, he could swim in the same direction that it was going in order to reduce the speed difference between them. If you were driving at 20 miles per hour and another car was coming up behind you at 60 miles per hour, it would be a lot harder to avoid them than if you were instead going 50 miles per hour. It would be even worse if you were stationary or traveling towards them. The relative speeds could drastically increase the amount of time you had to react. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Even if he couldnt escape from the Hellmouth Ray, he could build up speed in order to give himself more time to react. It would also make it much harder for the Hellmouth Ray to sweep around to the sides to flank him or attack from an unusual angle. It would have to put more effort to catch up with him and have less room to pull any tricks. It wasnt a perfect solution as it also meant it would be harder for him to take evasive action when he was focusing so much effort into moving quickly. Even so, he was staring behind him the whole time, examining the actions of the Hellmouth Ray with Foresight. With this vision of the future, combined with the expanded time on the Inner World he could make actions with even the most miniscule chance of success into reality.

When the Hellmouth Ray was on the verge of sweeping him up in its giant mouth, he opened his mouth and pointed his palms down. Divine Breath shot from his mouth while jets of air traveled through his Fluid Power Lines and shot from his palms, blasting him upwards to dodge the giant fanged pit of a mouth. He spun in place and used the technique that had become the most effective while fighting fish. His Jade Mantle shifted, extending a long blade from his wrist and hooking into the body of the Hellmouth Ray as it swept by just inches beneath him. With the hook set, he was dragged forward, attached to the rays back. He didnt even have time to attach the hook from his other wrist, his attention had instantly shifted to bringing something out from the Inner World. A giant disk over ten feet in diameter appeared in his hand, which instantly caught the water current and nearly pulled him off the back of the ray. He had already positioned his feet carefully so when the water pulled on the disk in his hand his feet were slammed down against the body of the ray.

While it was smashing its tail against his armored back, he was pouring Poison Qi into its body through the four weapons hed stabbed into its body. This had become his method of choice to disable fish, they were very agile and difficult to catch so it was much easier to let them come to him and then cling to their side. So many of these fish were absolutely enormous so they made for very easy targets once they were close enough. These fish werent quite smart enough to realize what he was doing until it was too late. After a few strikes against the Blacksilver King, Sage already knew that the repair rate couldnt keep up with the rate of destruction. In order to buy a little more time he had the Blue Icesilver spikes and blades shift from the front of his body to the back. He couldnt generate enough of this Heavenly Material to keep up with the destruction but he could move all the armor to his back, the only place being struck.

Sage couldnt match the rate of destruction being inflicted upon him, but he could buy more and more time with this method. The more of his Poison Qi that got pumped into the Hellmouth Ray the weaker and slower it would get. Since he was slowly weakening the beast it was only a matter of time before it was slow enough that the repair rate of the Blacksilver King was adequate. Then, no matter how tough it was, the fight would become just a matter of time. Once it couldnt hurt him, the poison would become a true inevitability.

With only a few slivers of silvery metal still upon his back, Sage coughed up a little more blood before the Hellmouth Ray had become so sluggish that the spikes on his back had recovered enough to take the hit. By the time the next one hit his whole back was completely covered. Two strikes later, the dark flesh of the Blacksilver King was completely covered up and all the damage was restored. The rays attacks became ineffective as it got slower and slower. Soon enough the Ruby Blood poison took full effect and the Hellmouth Rays huge body was left completely paralyzed.
