Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 817 - 26 Clearly Arranged
817: Chapter 26: Clearly Arranged
817 -26: Clearly Arranged
The top five ranked deep-sea behemoths are the most terrifying killing machines in the Hungry Sea area.
Their rankings do not represent their strengths or weaknesses but simply their track record of killings.
Ranked first is the Cuttlefish.
This is a cuttlefish whose size is not particularly huge among deep-sea behemoths, but each of its tentacles has an almost infinite extension ability.
To date, no creature knows exactly how many tentacles the Cuttlefish has; its limit remains unexplored.
It is understood by all creatures that apart from the second-ranked Mirror-horned Shark, no creature has ever come into contact with the tentacles of the Cuttlefish and remained unscathed.
This Cuttlefish is an “old warrior” that has gone through seven battles in the arena, one of which was a successful challenge against the Red Emperor.
The other times, it generally ended up being too targeted during the melee phase, resulting in no encounter with the Red Emperor.
It often says one thing:
“It’s not that I’m weak; it’s that I’m being targeted, you know?”
No creature dares to underestimate the Cuttlefish; its kill count in the deep sea is enough to instill fear in all sea beasts.
Tang Xian speculates that according to Junlin’s thoughts, the challenge would probably be against the first-ranked.
This is a test; perhaps sea monsters have begun to grow curious about how strong Junlin really is.
Therefore, a battle that should not happen between creatures ranked in the top twenty is now set to take place—between the third-place and the champion.
The second-ranked Mirror-horned Shark seems very calm, as if it does not care at all about being chosen by Junlin.
Junlin raises its head, and although arrogant, it is not foolhardy.
Once it understood the rules, it knew that it was probably marked by the Red Emperor.
This is a good thing; it gives Junlin a sense of pleasure from a destined confrontation.
Along the way to the Hungry Sea, a satisfying battle has yet to occur, which Junlin has always found very dull.
Fighting is really a very uninteresting affair.
As expected, when Junlin entered the arena and looked towards the first-ranked Cuttlefish, the sea creatures let out excited roars.
Tang Xian frowned, feeling somewhat conflicted.
Inwardly, he hoped Junlin was strong enough to play the role of an instrument to weaken the Red Emperor effectively.
But he also did not want Junlin to be too powerful because this would indicate that the foundation of the Court of the Pantheon might be far more substantial than he had imagined.
…
…
The battle started quickly.
The Cuttlefish, which is extremely large compared to Junlin, actually did not appear clumsy at all.
As soon as it entered the scene, it demonstrated terrifying speed, and in the sea, few creatures can surpass the Cuttlefish in this respect.
Before entering the Hungry Sea, Tang had assumed that battles in the deep sea might be like slow motion compared to land creatures.
But after actually coming to the Hungry Sea and witnessing and participating in battle after battle, he let go of this notion.
The monsters in the ocean possess even more terrifying speeds.
Junlin stood in place, looking down at the massive Cuttlefish without even assuming a defensive posture.
“Hmph, that creature doesn’t understand the might of the great cuttlefish.
It will soon taste bitter defeat.”
Tang Xian’s exceptional hearing quickly picked up the voices of onlookers outside the arena.
“That creature is no simple beast either.
I heard it cut down everything in its path; not a single creature has lasted three rounds against it.
Even last year’s number twelve, the Demon Eel, was easily defeated by it.”
“Mutual destruction would be the best outcome.
Those tentacles of the Cuttlefish are the most terrifying weapon in the deep sea.”
“Mutual destruction?
You’re underestimating the Cuttlefish.
Look, in the deep sea where visibility is zero, it is the most terrifying existence!”
Tang Xian noticed that after the creature resembling Patrick Star finished speaking, the entire arena was enveloped in utter darkness, and the light from those red crystals seemed unable to penetrate this dark shroud.
Tang was familiar with this skill, very familiar.
“Isn’t this just my Sun Swallowing skill?
A deep-sea version of Sun Swallowing?
Little cuttlefish got some tricks, grilling it must be especially delicious.”
The cuttlefish’s ink expelled, and the vast battlefield instantly became dyed in black ink.
Everyone knew what was happening inside.
Tang Xian didn’t know, but thanks to the Sea God’s weapon, he was able to breathe freely in the deep sea, and his sense of smell was even sharper.
However, that inky blackness carried a strong scent.
This scent was not unfamiliar to Tang either.
After killing the source of the plague, Tang became immune to various poisons—occasionally indulging in arsenic-infused tea or cephalosporin with alcohol, noting the scents of various poisons.
This ink that blackened the sea not only isolated scent and sight but also carried a nerve-paralyzing toxin that could slow down an opponent.
“No wonder it’s ranked first, isn’t this just a deep-sea version of me?”
The seawater of the battlefield turned into poison, and outside the poison, the Cuttlefish instantaneously stretched out nearly a hundred tentacles.
Those tentacles inadvertently touched the ghost coral, and the coral shattered suddenly.
Tang Xian was shocked.
Was he really a giant cuttlefish in a past life?
Isn’t this just like the Gold-Breaking Beast’s skill to crush gold and smash iron?
The hundred-plus tentacles kept extending, their waving speed horrifying.
It’s as if each tentacle had its own independent intelligence.
The cuttlefish’s intelligence was also high.
Most humans can hardly multitask with one hand drawing a circle and the other drawing a square, yet this cuttlefish’s hundred-plus tentacles each had their different offensive moves.
Tang Xian watched in amazement, while all the sea beasts began to gauge whether they could withstand the cuttlefish’s set of combined abilities.
