Chapter 857: Fight
A shockwave rippled through the water, smashing against Sages chest and hurling him backwards. The Jade Mantle sheathing his body crumbled, instantly losing a quarter of its capacity while blocking the attack that made a cracking sound, yet amplified loud enough to shatter bodies. He quickly recovered and darted away from his current position, avoiding a massive object that was falling down onto him from above. He dodged the object and then changed direction, swimming upwards. The huge object struck the bluish bed of sand below and there was a massive rumble. Sand and debris shot up from the ground while the rumble caused other bits of rock and stone to come falling down from above.
Sage wove through the complicated curtain of falling rocks and then darted forward, crossing over the huge fallen object and heading in the direction itd come from. Then he swerved to the side, dodging a shimmering silver harpoon. The tip of this weapon was glowing with shining light that rippled with deadly law energy. There was a ferocious clicking sound coming from the direction that the harpoon originated from, but its source was still out of Sages visual range. The water here was somewhat brackish and severely limited vision. Thankfully, some of the alternative types of sight that came from the Sea Locusts eyes were more effective, but it only improved his visual range; it couldn't make the water completely clear.
Changing direction, he swam directly towards the spot that the silver harpoon had come from. With his eyes now locked in this direction he saw the next two harpoons coming and easily avoided them. Then a man with light-brown skin and wearing large silver bands around his ankles and wrists appeared in front of him. A harpoon appeared in the mans hands but he didnt throw it. Instead he lifted it up to meet Sage as he approached and the viciously sharp point on the tip of it was deflected by a glowing blue-green blade. Sage twisted his wrist and threw his arm back, attempting to hook his forearm blade into the harpoons barb. His opponent gave their harpoon a twist and his blade caught nothing. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
Sage gave a wide berth to this terrible zone, dodging the mouth parts before they caught him and swimming down under the crabs body where it couldnt easily grab him with its snapping claws. He swung around underneath it and then more noise broke out up above. The huge claws snapped again, releasing shockwaves again, but this time Sage had the crabs' own body between him and these powerful attacks. He used the crab to block the attacks and swam around underneath and then behind the huge crab. Then he swam up and onto the creatures back. To his side he saw a man carrying a large metal pole over his shoulder and swimming in the same direction as him. The two of them shared a look and then slightly deviated their paths away from each other.
There was another shockwave from the front this time, but there was still enough of the crabs body in front of him to avoid another heavy hit. Sage swam forward towards a colored growth on the crabs back. He shot down and led with his arm extended, smashing his forearm blade against the front of the large growth and it let out a loud crack. The upper half of this growth separated and floated away, revealing that it had a hollow center. Inside this hollow cavity was a bag of woven kelp and seaweed which he grabbed and quickly strapped to his belt. Then he started swimming again, heading upwards along the steep slope of the crabs back. His path took on a crooked set of zigs and zags as he stopped to crack open another pair of large barnacle-like objects that had stuck to the crabs back. He retrieved more seaweed sacks and tied them to his belt just like the first one. Just as he grabbed the fourth one there was a loud detonation above him and he was struck by a shockwave and had to avoid more falling debris.
With some careful swimming and planning with Foresight he escaped danger yet again only to be rewarded by bright light flooding in from all around him. This sea of light shot in from all directions and changed the range of his vision from tens of feet to hundreds of feet, finally giving him a good view of what was all around him in this undersea cavern.
