A Strange Moon's Multiversal Adventure

I ask forgiveness for the recent delays but I was unable to write as much as before.

I will do my best to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Sider held her arm as still as possible, thing quite difficult to do considering how both the fact that she dandling from her boat and the recoil.

Fortunately, however, she was currently not made out of flesh and muscle but stone, lowering both the damage the black-haired one suffered from the blow of her previous blow and the complexity of the healing needed to recover from it.

Her right hand currently holding the silver-eyed one in mid-air by her ships handle pulled her higher up, before grabbing her axe in her left from mid-air and swinging hard, a shockwave being released in an instant and pulping another one of its tentacles, trying to starve it.

Cracks spread all over both her treasured weapon and her arm yet again, showing off the bright, molten lava taking the place of her blood, something that was not damaging her right now but would have been incredibly painfull if she could feel anything at all but she was made of stone, her nerves included.

Sider's Qi Circulation sped up again, concentrating on healing the damage she just suffered as fast as possible, trying to ready herself for the Horror of the Depth's next attack.

And speaking of its following attacks, the Horror's eyes within its mouth started shining more and more brightly, before it closed its maw except for a very small opening from which a blinding light started to emanate violently, starting to boil the water all around the Monster because of the massive amount of power being condensed and readied; an attack it specifically chose because it could not kill Living Being.

Sider didn't hesitate, switching the hand holding her afloat, well aware that hesitation would lead to her death at this very moment, stopping the healing of her wounds in an instant to concentrate on creating a bright, yellow spherical gem that she threw hard towards the Horror's mouth, breaking her fingers because of the use of her Unique Skill to maximize the speed and precision of her throw.

The Thunder Gem accelerated, sparks flying off in all directions as it pierced the air at an incredible speed, reaching the slowly surging light, detonating in a violent explosion of lightning, destabilizing the attack from the much larger Being.

The naval vessel responded to her will expressed throught her Mana, expanding its barrier to its full power around both it and the Werewolf, uncaring of the massive expense this would mean for her ship's Energy Batteries.

The light erupted, not in a concentrated beam like it planned but in a violent explosion of light within the Horror's body, the water all around them boiling in an instant even with the body of the Monster suffering the brunt of the burst, its flesh being cooked alive because of the intensity of the light it could no longer control.

Sider closed her eyes immediately, turning her face away from the Horror as an immense wall of light exploded underneath her, her ship's Barrier shattering instantly upon the blow, the remaining force smashing her against the keel of her boat, molten lava flowing from her lips in guise of her blood.

The raven-haired one fell, barely able to grab onto the handle as the Horror's tentacles launched her vessel away, the violent impact with the water briefly making her mind go blank before she started to swim away from underneath her ship, her eyes wih difficulty trying to find and confirm the status of the marine Monster.

She quickly moved, pulling herself back on her ship, breathing heavily while looking all around herself, finaly finding the Horror a couple of meters away, the tentacles ripped and smashed away from its main body, this last one being opened wide as if it was ripped away with enormous hands by its mouth.

A dull, grey liquid flowed freely from its remains, none of its previous victims being left alive by the previous explosion, especially considering their previous terrible state.

The naturally dar-skinned one closed her eyes after seeing how her opponent did not move even a whole minute after the explosion, she relaxed, laying down on the deck of her ship, barely able to stay conscious as she started to breath in even deeper, circulating her Qi to accelerate as much and as safely as possible her recovery from the previous fight, sitting down with crossed legs while preparing for the incoming backlash of having forced the activation of the Werewolves' Innate Skill, "Form: Humanoid Wolf" without a full Moon in the sky.

A minute later, her still stone torso was perforated by 13 rays of light.

Five centimeters wide holes formed upon her body, her eyes opening wide from her Deep Meditation, molten rock flowing from her body as she was barely able to stop herself from falling, her gaze focusing back on what she thought to be a corpse only to see how the various parts were joining back together, reforming it.

In the previous fight, the Horror used none of its own reserves of Energy, whether Mana or Vital Energy, but only that of its victims, exhausting them while keeping its own stores full.

This was the reason why it now had enough Vital Energy to recover from the previous explosion, its eyes focusing on her.

More Evil Light fell upon her body only for her to throw herself to the side, her eyes moving towards the Monster as she saw one of its tentacles trying to crush her.

With a snarl, Sider rose an arm and flicked once, her Unique Skill being applied to create an immense amount of force, smashing it apart and shattering the finger she used into small pieces, shards of stone and liquid rocks falling upon her boat.

Her Unique Skill "Berserker" was quite complex, increasing immensely the Potency of a physical attack only to recieve in response a Recoil in both Damage and Increasing all Status Alterations Inflicted to herself; not only that but every single one of her blows within a certain time period using this Skill was stronger than the previous one, as was the respective Recoil she would suffer.

It was no wonder then, that the next finger flick she was forced to make to defend herself by another one of its tentacles destroyed not only the finger she used but also both the rest of her hand and even part of her forearm.

The silver eyes belonging to the Werewolf narrowed in a combination of hatred and determination, focused entirely on her enemy, ready to bring them both down if necessary.

Said enemy swum back a couple of meters at its target murderous intent before calming down, rage rising explosively as it prepared to feed off its target.

As the two of them prepared to return to fighting, the water churned too lightly for either of the two of them to notice.

But even if the two didn't notice the slight movement of the ocean, both of them noticed with widened eyes when the water violently smashed the various parts of the Horror of the Depth in a single place before it violently erupted, forming first a couple of enormous jaws made out of water before it became a gigantic maw.

Maw that violently closed around the Monster, crushing it into paste before the Being before Sider, despite its enormous size and mass, gracefully fell back on the surface of the water, showing themselves off to the Werewolf's widened eyes.

The Being before the black-haired one looked like a dark blue scales covered whale-like Being with great fins and despite various parts from different marine creatures' species, they were an ordered Being; an ordered Being whose lenght could be easily measured in hundreds of meters.

Their green, gem-like eyes, themselves a lot bigger than Sider's body, focused on the Werewolf briefly before they breathed, Energy filling the air around them in an instant before most of it was reabsorbed by the Being except for a small, relatively to their natural Well, amount that filled both Sider's and the ship's Reserves completely before they submerged once again.

Under the astonished gaze of the Werewolf, Leviathan vanished completely between the water, causing Sider to fall on her face immediately in a mix of relief and exhaustion, commanding her ship to start repairing its Barrier and its hull from the previous battle, thanking her luck that the battle attracted the attention of the Divine Beast of the Sea towards one of its favorite prey, an Horror of the Depth, and reminding herself to try and avoid any future sea travel if possible.

Sider started to heal herself with her newly gifted Vital Energy, spending a lot of it to accelerate her Recovery and once she finished healing, she deactivated her Form Change, falling on her face as pain assaulted her body all over, senzation similar to muscle cramps spread all over her body, as the backlash for Transforming without a Full Moon.

*Luna Gains 1945 Magicules.

Luna woke up, her eyes drinking in the faces of her Mates for a moment before they moved automatically towards a certain point in the distance, a feeling similar to instinct trying to guide her towards an unknown destination.

Her eyes narrowed while a cruel smile formed upon her lips, her Aura surrounding the four of them protectively as she readied for the mayhem and bloodbath that would follow.

After all, she may not be bloodthirsty but she found no reason to reject such an invitation.
