Chapter 864: Surrounded

With the double sized male Lion Seal bearing down upon him, Sage retracted the two blades on his forearms, recovering their energy back into that of the Jade Mantle surrounding him like armor. He lifted his arm up to his side and pulled it back so his fist was beside his cheek. Then his fist opened and his fingers stretched outwards before curling inwards like claws. While the females circled around him, Sage kicked hard, simultaneously burning some of the Jade Mantle to gain another boost, propelling him towards the male at his top speed. He activated all the muscles in his body, twisting at the waist and shoulder, concentrating all of his power into the clawed fingers he threw towards the Lion Seal.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

The beast didnt lead with an open mouth this time, charging towards him with a fierce and undaunted gaze. It tracked his motion intently, and only at the last instant did its mouth open, baring its fangs and dipping its head downwards. The Lion Seal attempted to duck down beneath the threat it felt from Sages fist and intended to snap him in half at the middle. For a brief instant it seemed the huge seal was successful, Sages hand was moving on what seemed to be an uninterruptible path while the beast had curled perfectly out of the way. Its jaw dropped downwards, opening its mouth only slightly, which was more than enough to fit Sages whole body into. With its head twisted sideways, the slightly open mouth was the same size as a doorway, a doorway lined with sharp fangs to either side.

This seeming inevitable conclusion was suddenly broken by a violent bang. Sages hand suddenly clenched, forcing the tips of his fingers to contract together into a single point. At that small point the water was compressed, culminating in a sudden detonation. The explosion blasted the Lion Seal away, knocking it off course and preventing its teeth from closing around Sages body. The huge beast swept past, disoriented once again by its opponent's strange actions. Sage spun around and with the same clawing motion punched upwards, snapping his fingers together in the face of one of the females. This Lion Seal was not as agile as the male had been and couldnt avoid his clawed fingers in the same manner. His hand clenched hard and the pressure detonation went off right in front of its face.

A shockwave went off, blasting apart the seals face and spilling its blood and gore into a messy cloud.

There was a moment of shock while the other Lion Seals seemed to analyze what had happened. They released more ferocious roars and charged towards him from every direction at once. He quickly identified the direction with the fewest seals and shot towards the gap in their formation. His comparatively small body shot through the gap and then he spun around to meet the first pursuer with another explosive clenching of his clawed fingers. Another blast rippled through the water and one more of the Lion Seals met its end.

Sage continued to flee from the Demonic Beasts, stopping to attack whenever an opportunity presented itself. The water was filled with loud bangs and rippling shockwaves. The male Lion Seal was bloodied and ragged, caught by the close range detonations over and over again. It had so far been able to avoid a direct injury, but just being nearby had caused it so much damage already. The Lion Seals stopped moving, finally seeming to overcome the bloodlust that had been inspired by their companions deaths. Only now did they realize the damage theyve suffered without inflicting any significant losses to their opponent. The male released a low growl and the females swam around behind it, putting its own body between them and Sage. They seemed on the verge of retreat and Sage felt that his training at this time was about to come to an end. Just before he called out the Purple Mist Sect, there was a sudden loud whistle rippling through the water.

They took turns eating and watching Sage, which he found to be quite fascinating. It was only after they all ate their fill and the many Lion Seals had been completely consumed that they finally put all their attention upon him. It was something of a shame to not capture any of the Lion Seals alive, but Sage felt these Orcas were far more interesting. He could always find some more Lion Seals later. One of the Killer Whales had scars all over its nose and it swam closer to him than the others.

Ye got some guts, eh? You still havent passed over your valuables after all this time? Do you not think well follow through on our threat, or do you not value your life?

Come on Capn! You dont have to give this barnacle any slack. Lets bite his head off and search him. He must have something good he doesnt want to hand over!

Dont interrupt, scum! Youre just a scrap catcher, you have no right to question the Captain. If you dont shut your trap, your head will be the one getting removed.

The scarred one, presumably the Captain, didnt even bother to look at or respond to the urging of the other Orca. Instead the scarred Orca moved a bit closer, and Sages golden eyes fixed upon the dark eyes of the whale as he spoke.

Your kind seems pretty interesting. Have you ever thought about relocating? You seem pretty smart, can you run a whole sea?
