Chapter 882: Rush
Carried out of the range of the shark in what seemed only an instant he laughed inwardly, reveling in the freedom that such speed brought. The oppressing sense of danger that always seemed to surround him in the Depths was dispelled. What was there to be afraid of when every threat could be left behind in just an instant? A sense of wariness remained, but it was more of a heightened awareness like when driving at high speed, rather than the foreboding feeling of walking through a forest in the darkness.
That wasnt even my fastest speed. Why pass up such a good training partner?
Head over tail he spun in place and shot back the way he came. The shield of air continued to surround him but he added two more enhancements this time, ones that had much higher consumption. The green aura around him shimmered, losing some of its volume and increasing his strength and speed. Along with this ability that consumed the Poison Qi invested into the Jade Mantle, the Qi from his other Core was pushed into a power he hadnt used much in the Depths. The tip of his nose had to push through the water, making a point of breakthrough while the shield of air fought all the drag on his sides and rear. To go even faster there was an ability that King had once used in a similar manner: Cosmic Traction.
This ability burned through energy to change the density of space itself, warping the fabric of the world around him. It was astoundingly powerful, but it was also extremely taxing. Just using the air shield hed only need to spend a few minutes at the surface every few hours. Such a cost was quite small. On the other hand, Cosmic Traction had such a high drain that it basically matched his Qi regeneration rate. While using it he couldnt use any other techniques.
By the time the massive shark realized he had returned it was already too late.
A concentrated jet of water shot out of the side of his neck, combining with the arch of his body and the flip of his tail to change his trajectory. He slipped sideways avoiding the fin of the huge shark and changing the line of his approach to aim at a specific spot upon the sharks side. The cone of space on his nose narrowed into a point and his Jade Mantle shifted to match it, using it as the point of the spear that he turned his body into. The burning poison of his Jade Mantle thrummed with the power of the Laws of Corruption and Thermodynamics magnifying its power to help him punch through the beasts body.
Sage felt a ripple, the initial impact of the two bodies causing some resistance. Then that resistance was suddenly gone and everything went dark for an instant before he found himself back in the open ocean. Before getting a chance to examine the result of his attack hed already shot out of sensory range. He slowed down and sent his Spiritual Sense backwards. By the time hed turned around and swam back at a far more leisurely pace the last bit of life had already left the sharks body. Sharks didnt have swim bladders so the huge beast was already sinking down towards the bottom, but that observation was only secondary to the terrible wound that it suffered.
On one side of the thousand foot long shark was a small hole, just a couple yards wide. On the other, was a massive cavern. The whole side of the shark had been blown out, spanning from top to bottom, the two hundred foot wide hole was spewing out blood and shattered organs. A streamer of bright red blood trailed from the side of its body as it fell downwards. By the time Sage returned he could already see a few scavengers approaching.
The sheer speed of his attack had turned him into a living bullet, and the shockwave of his passing pulled along the insides of the shark, dragging them in his wake as he punched through its body. By the time he reached the far side of it, all of its insides were drawn along with him and caused an explosive release, blasting its body apart.
