Warlock of Oceans: My Poseidon System-Chapter 497: Sixth Floor: The Chamber of Seven Seas (18)
As the jelly's tendrils lashed out, Sylus conjured twin icicles and launched them in rapid succession. The first pierced its center, halting its advance, while the second froze its tendrils in place. Sylus spun the staff in his hands, driving its sharpened end into the frozen creature, shattering it into shimmering shards.
The Leviathan Horror, sensing Sylus's success, sent one of its massive tendrils surging toward him. Sylus didn't hesitate; he flipped backward, planting his staff into the seafloor to vault himself over the attack. As the tendril embedded itself in the sand, he conjured a spinning vortex of water around its base, pinning it temporarily while he retreated to reposition.
Jesua was surrounded, her glowing blade illuminating the murky depths as a group of Armored Eel Lords and Angler Reavers closed in. One of the Eel Lords lunged, its coral-covered jaws snapping at her. Jesua sidestepped the attack, slashing upward with her blade and cutting through the beast's jaw.
The recoil pushed her back into the path of an Angler Reaver wielding a barbed trident. The Reaver struck with deadly precision, but Jesua spun, using her momentum to deflect the strike with the flat of her blade. The force pushed her downward, and she kicked off the sand to propel herself upward, driving her blade into the Reaver's chest. The radiant energy burst outward, burning through the creature's flesh and forcing the others to retreat momentarily.
Another Eel Lord surged forward, aiming to crush her with its tail. Jesua crouched low, letting the tail sweep over her, then thrust upward with her sword, severing the tail cleanly. Her movements were a blend of aggression and defense, her radiant strikes disrupting the spectral and physical monsters alike.
When the Leviathan Horror loomed above, she dodged a massive tendril aimed to crush her. She capitalized on the opening, using the water's current to propel herself upward in an arc, slashing at the tendril as she passed. Her blade carved a glowing trail across the appendage, leaving behind a radiant burn that slowed its movement.
Cyrus stood at the forefront, battling the Leviathan Horror directly while fending off waves of summoned creatures. A Coral Colossus charged him, its massive arms swinging like battering rams. Cyrus ducked under one swing, planting his trident into the creature's chest and channeling a surge of crimson lightning. The energy crackled and burst, blowing the Colossus apart in a violent explosion of coral fragments.
Before he could recover, a Shadow Siren darted toward him, its claws aimed for his throat. Cyrus caught its arm mid-swing, his massive grip crushing its limb before hurling it into an incoming Angler Reaver, toppling both enemies.
The Leviathan Horror lashed out with three of its tendrils simultaneously, aiming to corner him. Cyrus roared, spinning his trident in a wide arc that generated a shockwave, dispersing the water around him and forcing the tendrils back. Using the momentum of his spin, he leapt upward, planting one foot against a tendril and using it as a springboard to launch himself higher. He thrust his trident forward, embedding it into the Leviathan's glowing chest and sending another pulse of lightning through its form.
The Leviathan retaliated by summoning a Venomous Jelly and a pair of Eel Lords to flank him. Cyrus grinned, his leviathan blood surging with adrenaline. He swung his trident in a sweeping motion, creating a vortex of water that drew the creatures toward him. With a savage roar, he drove the trident into the ground, releasing a shockwave that obliterated the jelly and stunned the Eel Lords long enough for Jesua and Sylus to pick them off.
The trio's synergy was the key to their survival. Sylus created barriers of ice and water currents to funnel enemies toward Jesua, who struck with precision to eliminate the most dangerous threats. Cyrus acted as the shield, drawing the Leviathan Horror's attention and absorbing its heaviest attacks.
When the Leviathan summoned a swarm of Shadow Sirens to surround them, Jesua raised her blade high, channeling a burst of radiant energy that created a dome of protective light. Sylus used the moment to conjure a storm of ice shards, each one homing in on the fleeing Sirens and shattering them into wisps of shadow.
As the Leviathan Horror began to charge a massive beam of shadowy energy, Cyrus shouted, "Focus on its core!" The trio coordinated their attacks, with Sylus creating an upward current to propel Jesua toward the Leviathan's chest. She slashed downward with all her might, her blade cutting through the shadowy flesh and exposing the glowing core.
Cyrus hurled his trident, the weapon striking true and embedding itself in the core. "Sylus, now!" Jesua yelled. Sylus unleashed a powerful surge of air and ice magic, freezing the Leviathan's chest and causing cracks to form around the core.
The Leviathan roared in agony, summoning another wave of monsters to its defense, but the trio remained undeterred. Their attacks grew more precise, their teamwork tighter, as they continued to fight against impossible odds.
The battle was far from over, but their will remained unbroken, the light of their determination shining brightly against the darkness of the abyss.
The battle raged on, an underwater maelstrom of flashing steel, raw elemental magic, and the furious thrashing of sea monsters driven to madness by the Leviathan Horror's summons. Each second was a struggle to survive, but the trio—Sylus, Jesua, and Cyrus—fought with sharpened instincts, their movements weaving together in a deadly dance as they slowly began to push the monstrous tide back.
Sylus twisted mid-dodge as a Shadow Siren lunged at him from behind, its spectral claws aiming to tear through his back. He spun his staff in a tight arc, summoning a concentrated sphere of water around him that burst outward with sudden force. The siren was thrown back, momentarily stunned. Seizing the opening, Sylus flicked his wrist, sending two jagged ice spears hurtling through the water. They struck true, impaling the siren's chest and freezing its essence into fractured shards before it dissipated entirely.
A Venomous Jelly pulsed toward him, its undulating tendrils crackling with electric venom. Sylus swam sideways, narrowly avoiding a lashing strike, then twisted his staff and slammed it against the sea floor. A spiraling column of water erupted beneath the jelly, sending it hurtling into a jagged coral outcrop where its own tendrils wrapped around it, the bioelectric energy frying its own body.
Not a moment later, the Leviathan Horror sent a massive tentacle sweeping toward him, the water surging with force that could crush stone. Sylus didn't panic. Instead, he conjured a dense block of ice beneath his feet and kicked off it, launching himself over the sweeping tendril just in time. He flipped mid-air, channeling ice magic through his staff as he came down hard, freezing the entire length of the appendage in place. The Leviathan recoiled, its massive body thrashing against the new resistance, buying precious seconds for Jesua and Cyrus to strike.
Jesua darted between enemies, her radiant blade flashing like a beacon in the abyssal dark. An Armored Eel Lord lunged at her, its serrated fangs snapping toward her throat. Jesua twisted, angling her body to let the attack pass inches from her side, then brought her blade up in a sharp diagonal slash. The glowing steel cleaved through the eel's armored plating, severing its head with one clean stroke.
An Angler Reaver came at her from above, its jagged trident spearing downward. Jesua reacted instantly—she kicked off the seafloor, rolling mid-dash to avoid the strike, then countered with a spinning slash that cut through the Reaver's exposed side. Before the creature could retaliate, she flipped backward, using the current created by the Leviathan's thrashing to propel herself into position for another strike.
The Leviathan Horror, furious at her precision, directed a school of Shadow Sirens toward her, their screeching wails distorting the water around them. Jesua narrowed her eyes, gripping her sword tightly. She drew the blade close to her chest, focusing for a brief moment before unleashing a blinding explosion of radiant energy. The sheer force of light disintegrated half the sirens instantly, while the rest recoiled, giving her enough space to maneuver.
She pressed forward, using the opening to slash at another of the Leviathan's tentacles, carving a deep, glowing gash into its dark flesh. The beast roared in pain, thrashing wildly as the energy burned into it.

Cyrus met the Leviathan's rage with his own, his trident crackling with power as he drove it through the onslaught of creatures that tried to stop him. A Coral Colossus barreled toward him, its massive fists aiming to crush him. He didn't back down. Instead, he planted his feet and took the full brunt of the strike against his trident, absorbing the shockwave through sheer brute force. As the Colossus recoiled, he pivoted, swinging his trident in a wide arc that sent a surge of crimson lightning through the water. The energy tore through the Colossus, shattering its coral armor before Cyrus finished it with a brutal downward strike, splitting its massive form in half.
