Warlock of Oceans: My Poseidon System-Chapter 486: Sixth Floor: The Chamber of Seven Seas (7)
As she spun to face the next wave, another Fishman lunged at her, its arms wielding a jagged cutlass. Jesua parried the blow with her sword, her muscles straining with the force. She used the momentum to pivot around the Fishman's attack, bringing her blade down in a swift, controlled strike that severed one of its arms. The Fishman howled in agony but tried to retaliate with a water blast aimed at her face. Jesua ducked, the blast narrowly missing her, and she spun again, using the opening to land a fatal blow to its torso.
Sylus was facing down two Fishmen at once. He gritted his teeth, the cold water swirling around him as he raised his staff high. With a wave of his hand, he sent a pulse of water toward one of the Fishmen, forcing it to stumble backward. The other Fishman lunged with a harpoon, its weapon aimed directly at his chest. Sylus twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the strike, and then conjured a powerful blast of ice from his staff. The ice shards struck the Fishman's body, encasing its arms in frozen spikes.
Sylus pressed the attack, his voice calm but firm as he whispered an incantation, conjuring an icy storm. The water around him shifted as sharp icicles began to form, swirling around him like a deadly blizzard. He hurled one of the shards directly at the other Fishman, embedding it in its shoulder. The Fishman screamed and staggered, giving Sylus the chance to freeze its legs in place with another burst of ice. With the creature immobilized, Sylus drew a deep breath and charged forward, smashing his staff into the Fishman's skull, finishing it off with a swift blow.
But more Fishmen were coming. Sylus took a step back, his mind calculating quickly as the water around him churned violently. He realized the best course of action was to keep the Fishmen at a distance using his ice magic, controlling the battlefield with frozen spikes and walls of ice.
He threw another blast of ice toward a group of advancing Fishmen, freezing the water in their path and slowing their movement. As they struggled to free themselves, he took the opportunity to form a barrier of ice around him, trapping any nearby enemies within a frozen prison.
Cyrus was caught in the heart of the chaos. His Leviathan instincts were on full alert, his senses tuned to the movements of every enemy around him. He faced the mutated Crab Men with one arm while a group of Fishmen surrounded him, their weapons raised and ready to strike.
The Crab Men swung their massive claws at him, but he dodged each strike with ease, his tail whipping through the water to lash at their limbs. Each blow sent vibrations through the water, and Cyrus used these movements to his advantage. With one final twist of his body, he launched himself toward the Crab Men, his claws outstretched to slash at their exposed joints.
At the same time, the Fishmen were closing in from all angles. One swung a harpoon at him, but Cyrus grabbed it mid-air with his claw, pulling the Fishman toward him. He slammed his knee into its chest with bone-shaking force, sending the creature spiraling backward. But before he could take a breath, another Fishman appeared, thrusting a jagged cutlass at his face. Cyrus swerved, his movements fluid as he blocked the strike with one of his claws. He spun around, his tail sweeping out behind him to trip the Fishman and send it crashing to the ground.
The moment the Fishman hit the sand, Cyrus brought down his claws in a powerful slam, crushing its skull with an audible crunch. But there was no time to rest. He felt the press of enemies around him, sensing the incoming surge of Fishmen.
A large Fishman wielding a trident lunged toward him, its long weapon aimed straight at his torso. Cyrus's Leviathan instincts kicked in, and he sidestepped the strike, grabbing the trident mid-swing and snapping it in half with his bare hands. Before the Fishman could react, Cyrus tore into its side with his claws, delivering a crushing blow that sent it sinking into the sand.
The trio, though overwhelmed, never wavered. They were quick to adapt, using their unique skills to control the battlefield. Jesua's agility allowed her to dart between enemies, striking when openings presented themselves. Sylus kept the Fishmen at bay, controlling the water and freezing enemies in place. Cyrus, with his immense power and Leviathan instincts, tore through the Crab Men and Fishmen alike, smashing them with brute force.
They supported each other at every turn, creating openings for one another and ensuring they stayed one step ahead of the relentless onslaught.
"Focus, we can take them down one by one!" Jesua shouted, taking down another Fishman with a fluid strike.
Sylus nodded, maintaining his ice barrier and creating more obstacles in the water to trap their foes. "They can't keep this up forever."
Cyrus bellowed, "Let's finish this!"
The battle continued, each blow, strike, and spell marking their determination to survive and push through the relentless waves of Fishmen and Crab Men. They were beginning to push the monsters back, but the tide of enemies was far from over.
The chaos reached new heights as the sand beneath the trio's feet trembled again, more violently than before. The Crab Men and Fishmen surrounding them stopped their attacks momentarily, their glowing eyes flickering as if responding to an unseen command. Then, one by one, their bodies began to twist and morph. Chitinous shells expanded, glowing with a bioluminescent hue, while their limbs grew bulkier and more grotesque. The Fishmen's sleek, humanoid forms warped into monstrous hybrids, with eel-like tendrils sprouting from their backs and razor-sharp fins forming along their arms. The Crab Men's claws grew larger, their surfaces now lined with jagged, obsidian-like edges, and their legs became longer, giving them an unnervingly swift gait.
Their transformation complete, the creatures unleashed guttural roars that reverberated through the water, shaking the surrounding environment. The trio quickly regrouped, their instincts screaming danger as the newly transformed monsters surged forward with renewed ferocity.
Jesua darted to the left, narrowly avoiding the sweeping claw of an enhanced Crab Man. Its strike carved through the water, leaving trails of bubbles and turbulence in its wake. She spun mid-dive, landing lightly on a jagged outcrop of coral. The Crab Man lunged again, this time with shocking speed. Jesua leaned back, the creature's claw grazing her torso as she kicked off the coral and launched herself above it.
With a sharp flick of her wrist, her blade shimmered with ethereal energy. She brought it down in a diagonal slash, slicing through the Crab Man's glowing carapace. The creature screeched, twisting to retaliate with its other claw. Jesua twisted her body, her movements precise and fluid, narrowly avoiding the counterstrike. As she landed, another Fishman charged from her right, wielding a jagged harpoon. Jesua ducked, her sword flashing upward to deflect the harpoon's thrust, the sound of steel on steel ringing through the water. She countered with a quick thrust of her own, piercing the creature's side and forcing it back.

Sylus stood at the center of the chaos, his staff glowing with icy brilliance as he controlled the flow of water around him. One of the monstrous Fishmen lunged at him, its eel-like tendrils whipping through the water. Sylus raised a hand, creating a dome of freezing water that encased the creature momentarily, halting its momentum. He followed up with a blast of ice shards, the projectiles striking the Fishman's torso and sending it spiraling backward.
Two more Crab Men charged at him from opposite sides, their claws poised to crush him. Sylus planted his staff firmly into the ground and muttered a spell under his breath. The water around him solidified into jagged ice spikes, shooting outward in every direction. One of the Crab Men was impaled through its midsection, its glowing body cracking under the pressure. The other narrowly avoided the spikes but was forced to retreat, giving Sylus enough time to regroup.
"Sylus, watch your flank!" Jesua shouted.
He turned just in time to see a Fishman leaping at him with a trident raised high. Sylus reacted instinctively, swinging his staff in a wide arc and summoning a wall of ice between himself and the attacker. The Fishman crashed into the barrier, shattering it into glistening shards, but Sylus was already prepared. He thrust his staff forward, sending a concentrated beam of icy energy directly into the Fishman's chest, freezing it solid before it crumbled into pieces.
Cyrus roared, his Leviathan blood surging with power as he tore into the transformed monsters. A Crab Man lunged at him, its claws snapping wildly. Cyrus caught the claw with his bare hands, his muscles straining as he forced the creature's arm back. With a feral growl, he twisted, snapping the claw clean off. The Crab Man screeched in pain, but Cyrus didn't let up. He drove his knee into its abdomen, shattering its carapace, before finishing it with a crushing blow from his tail.
