Warlock of Oceans: My Poseidon System-Chapter 495: Sixth Floor: The Chamber of Seven Seas (16)
From the glowing fissures in the leviathan's body, new horrors emerged.The Shadow Sirens were hauntingly ethereal, their bodies resembling distorted silhouettes of humanoid forms wreathed in shadowy, flickering mist. Their faces were blank voids, save for glowing white pinpricks where eyes should have been. Long, spindly limbs ended in razor-sharp claws that shimmered faintly, appearing solid one moment and intangible the next. Their movements were jerky and unnatural, like they were constantly fighting against the water itself. Trails of ghostly light followed them as they swam, distorting the water around them and leaving an eerie haze in their wake. When they screeched, the sound reverberated in the trio's minds, a dissonant wail that threatened to drown out focus and thought.
The Armored Eel Lords were massive and serpentine, stretching nearly 15 feet in length, their muscular bodies clad in jagged coral armor that jutted out like crude spikes. Their heads were wedge-shaped, with glowing, pupil-less eyes that burned like molten lava. Their jaws were wide and filled with serrated teeth capable of crushing through stone, and thin, venomous tendrils dangled from their lower jaws, twitching erratically as they scented the water for prey. The coral armor was not just for protection—it was living, constantly shifting and repairing itself, giving them an almost impenetrable defense. Small clusters of bioluminescent barnacles adorned their bodies, casting an ominous glow in the dark waters, and their whip-like tails ended in sharp, bladed fins that sliced through the water with deadly precision.
The Coral Colossi emerged from the fissures like living pieces of the seafloor. Standing nearly 20 feet tall, these hulking monstrosities were constructed entirely of jagged coral, encrusted with barnacles, seaweed, and colonies of glowing anemones. Their vaguely humanoid forms were misshapen, with long, lumbering arms ending in massive fists that could pulverize rock. Their torsos were hollowed and emitted faintly glowing light from within, as if housing the souls of the sea. Shards of coral constantly broke off their bodies but reformed in seconds, giving them a regenerating, near-indestructible appearance. Their movements were slow and deliberate, but each step sent rippling shockwaves through the water, making it harder for the trio to keep their footing.
The Venomous Jelly Swarms were translucent, spectral jellies that floated menacingly through the water in clusters, each one the size of a large dog. Their gelatinous bodies shimmered with an unnatural, multicolored glow, and their long, tendril-like appendages pulsed with vibrant bioluminescent patterns. These tendrils could stretch impossibly far, crackling with energy as they lashed through the water. Their venom wasn't just physical—it spread like a magical toxin, clouding vision and disrupting the magic of their victims. The jellies moved silently, floating with deceptive grace before lashing out with lightning speed, their swarms acting in perfect unison like a hive mind.
The Angler Reavers, even in their initial form, were nightmarish to behold. Their hulking, humanoid bodies were covered in thick, slimy scales that shimmered in hues of dark green and deep blue, making them blend into the water almost seamlessly. Their heads were monstrous, with oversized jaws brimming with jagged, uneven teeth. Above their heads dangled a glowing, bioluminescent lure, shaped like a bulbous, pulsating orb that hypnotized those who stared too long. Their webbed hands gripped crude, coral-encrusted weapons—axes, swords, and spears—all pulsating with faint traces of water magic. Their deep-set, glowing yellow eyes radiated primal malice as they moved with an eerie, predatory grace, belying their bulk.
The summoned monsters, though varied in size and form, worked in terrifying tandem, each one complementing the other's abilities. The Shadow Sirens disrupted focus and manipulated the battlefield with spectral confusion. The Eel Lords were the battering rams, diving in with brute force. The Coral Colossi and Venomous Jellies added insurmountable pressure, creating walls of danger that forced the trio into a defensive scramble. Each wave of monsters was a test of the trio's skill, strategy, and endurance against a growing tide of darkness from the Leviathan Horror.
The leviathan, sensing its minions were being dispatched, unleashed a new wave of attacks. It raised its glowing tentacles, sending spiraling torrents of water toward the trio. The currents twisted violently, pulling the group apart.
Sylus countered by conjuring a swirling vortex of his own, creating a barrier that deflected the oncoming torrents. He then launched himself upward, riding the momentum of his magic, and hurled a barrage of water needles at the leviathan's head. The needles embedded into its glowing eyes, causing the beast to thrash violently.
Jesua, caught in one of the leviathan's whirlpools, used her momentum to spin with the current. She extended her blade outward, the radiant energy cutting through the vortex like a saw. Breaking free, she dashed toward one of the leviathan's massive claws, her blade glowing brighter as she struck with all her might. The blow severed one of its digits, and she kicked off its body, using the recoil to launch herself out of reach.
Cyrus was battling the leviathan head-on, his leviathan blood allowing him to resist the crushing pressure of the water. He clashed against one of its tentacles, using his trident to parry its strikes. With a roar, he surged forward, driving his trident into the leviathan's chest. The crimson lightning spread across its body, causing it to writhe in pain.
The trio began coordinating their efforts, each of them playing to their strengths to keep the leviathan and its summons at bay. Sylus focused on controlling the battlefield, using his water and ice magic to redirect attacks and slow down the leviathan's movements. Jesua targeted its weak points, her radiant strikes disabling its tentacles and claws one by one. Cyrus, the vanguard, drew the leviathan's attention, his relentless attacks forcing it to defend itself and preventing it from overwhelming the others.
Despite their coordination, the leviathan showed no signs of slowing down. It roared, its voice echoing through the water as it summoned another wave of monsters—Coral Colossi and Venomous Jelly Swarms. The trio steeled themselves, knowing this battle was far from over.
The battle erupted into pure chaos, a clash of bodies, magic, and strategy as the trio pushed themselves to the limit against the colossal Leviathan Horror and its endless tide of summoned monsters. The water churned violently, creating disorienting currents, but Sylus, Jesua, and Cyrus fought like a well-oiled machine, every move a testament to their skill and unity.
Sylus darted through the water like a shadow, his body constantly shifting to avoid attacks. A Shadow Siren lunged at him with its claws, and he spun just in time, letting its momentum carry it past him. As it turned for another strike, Sylus thrust his staff forward, channeling raw ice magic into the water. The siren froze mid-screech, trapped in an icy prison, but Sylus didn't stop.
He pushed off the seafloor, flipping backward to avoid the crushing jaws of an Eel Lord, which slammed shut mere inches from his feet. Using the movement of his flip, he conjured an arc of frost energy, slicing through the eel's coral armor and forcing it to recoil. But the Leviathan Horror loomed above, one of its massive tendrils whipping toward him.
Sylus raised a shimmering bubble of magic around himself, the water bending around it to deflect the impact. The shield shattered, but it gave him enough time to create a whirlpool of compressed air. He launched the whirlpool upward, sending it spiraling into the Leviathan's torso, forcing it to stagger and disrupting its summoning magic for a moment.
Jesua was a blur of radiant light, her blade flashing like a beacon in the murky water. Two Angler Reavers surrounded her, their glowing lures casting eerie blue light over her determined face. One swung a massive coral axe, and Jesua sidestepped it with fluid grace, the blade missing her by a hair's breadth. She twisted, planting her foot against the Reaver's chest and kicking off to propel herself backward.

The second Reaver lunged, its spear aimed for her heart. Jesua brought her sword up in a tight arc, deflecting the spear to the side and slicing through its arm in one motion. Her radiant energy flared, creating a blinding flash that caused both Reavers to recoil. Without missing a beat, she used the distraction to drive her sword into the first Reaver's throat, the light of her blade burning it from the inside out.
Jesua spun to face the second Reaver, but a Venomous Jelly drifted toward her, its tendrils crackling with energy. She pivoted in mid-water, slashing with pinpoint precision to sever its tendrils before they could touch her. The jelly exploded in a burst of phosphorescent goo, forcing her to shield her eyes.
Cyrus, towering and unrelenting, faced the brunt of the Leviathan Horror's wrath. A massive tentacle lashed out at him, and he gripped his trident tightly, planting himself against the sand to absorb the impact. The tentacle slammed into him, but his leviathan heritage allowed him to hold firm, his muscles straining as he shoved it back with raw strength.
