Leveling Up With My Pet

Chapter 455 Huh! Black Sea Beast ?

The Overlord, who had been leisurely navigating the ocean depths, suddenly became acutely aware of the presence lurking nearby. His initial nonchalance gave way to a growing sense of apprehension, and he approached the mysterious entity with cautious intent.

As the Overlord inched closer, the enormity of the creature before him came into sharp focus. It sprawled across the ocean floor, a colossal behemoth that dwarfed anything he had ever encountered.

The Overlord couldn't help but mutter in disbelief, "This is massive!" The sheer size of the creature was astonishing. Despite having journeyed through the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic Oceans, nothing had prepared him for this spectacle.

The enormity of the creature was staggering, quickly stretching close to 300 meters in length by his visual estimate. To put it into perspective, even the mightiest of ships, weighing tens of thousands of tons, paled in comparison.

Fortunately, this aquatic leviathan had a sleek and serpentine form reminiscent of a colossal python. Its black body was adorned with large scales that seemed to glisten with a metallic sheen.

The Overlord's thoughts drifted back to a recent encounter with a smaller, 40 to 50-meter-long black "sea python." The creature he now faced shared a similar appearance but boasted a distinctive feature: four imposing claws.

Unaware of the Overlord's presence, the colossal creature moved through the water with an air of lethargy, seemingly oblivious to its surroundings. The Overlord, observing from a safe distance, studied its immense size, evaluating whether he had any hope of confronting this oceanic titan.

After some contemplation, the Overlord communicated his astonishing discovery to his companion, Liu Yong. "Master, I've stumbled upon an incredibly massive creature in the South Pacific waters!"

Liu Yong promptly checked Bawang's location and realized it was near the southernmost tip of South America, not too distant from Antarctica. Activating the third-party vision, Liu Yong was privy to the Overlord's cautious approach and the awe-inspiring sight of the enormous creature lurking a mere few hundred meters away.

In shock, Liu Yong exclaimed, "My word, it's colossal!" The creature before him measured nearly 300 meters long, almost equivalent to the Overlord. Its entire body, draped in pitch-black skin adorned with metallic scales, resembled a super-sized python. However, this one possessed four formidable claws.

Liu Yong couldn't help but ponder whether this colossal creature might be the legendary "Black Jiao." But that conjecture was quickly dismissed; the Black Jiao was a creature of myth, whereas this colossal enigma was an entirely different, monstrous entity.

Concerned for Bawang's safety, Liu Yong carefully assessed the situation. The creature's size exceeded 2000 tons, possibly even surpassing 2500 tons. In contrast, Bawang weighed slightly over 1279 tons, falling just short of the 1300-ton mark. The odds seemed overwhelmingly stacked against them.

With caution, Liu Yong said, "Overlord, this creature is not to be underestimated."

The Overlord responded with unwavering determination, declaring, "I agree, but I won't simply retreat. The Pacific Ocean is my domain, and I intend to assert my dominance."

Liu Yong couldn't help but smile, noting the Overlord's deeply ingrained territorial instincts as if the entire expanse of the Pacific Ocean belonged to him. In the animal kingdom, defending one's territory was a paramount instinct. Encroachers had to be defeated or driven away; failure meant relinquishing control.

Liu Yong then brought up the uncanny resemblance between the colossal creature and the smaller black sea python that the Overlord had encountered just days earlier. "Overlord, a few days ago, you came across a black sea python measuring around 40 to 50 meters in length, and it bore a striking resemblance."

The Overlord couldn't help but grin as he recalled the encounter. "Indeed, that black sea python was a delectable feast. I'm still savoring the memory."

Liu Yong chuckled, teasing, "You truly are a gourmet."

Intrigued, Bawang asked, "Master, why does this creature have four powerful and sharp claws, whereas the one from a few days ago did not?"

Liu Yong considered the matter and offered a plausible explanation. "Perhaps the one you encountered previously was a juvenile, and it hadn't developed its claws yet. You devoured it before it had the chance to grow them."

With no better theory to counter this explanation, Liu Yong concluded that despite their striking similarities, the two creatures were indeed different – one colossal and formidable, the other smaller and less menacing.

Mid-conversation, the colossal creature sensed Bawang's presence. It swiftly turned its massive form, unleashing its powerful tail to propel itself towards the intruder.

The aggressiveness of the charge was palpable, even from a distance of thousands of miles. Liu Yong couldn't help but feel the sheer ferocity of the impending collision.

In that heart-stopping moment, Liu Yong had just one thought: this colossal creature was not to be taken lightly, and the outcome of their confrontation was profoundly uncertain.

Liu Yong urgently advised, "Overlord, please exercise caution!" But the events transpired too swiftly, leaving no time for warnings.

In the blink of an eye, the colossal creature closed in on Bawang, its speed nearly matching that of the Overlord.

Quick reflexes and keen instincts saved the day as the Overlord rapidly retreated, putting distance between himself and the colossal entity. In its urgency, the enormous creature launched itself out of the water in a spectacular display of power.

The Overlord repositioned himself in the water, visibly aggrieved by the near miss. However, he wasted no time and, without hesitation, retaliated with an aggressive counterattack, wielding his colossal spear with precision and might.

The resulting collision was nothing short of breathtaking. The colossal creature, anticipating the strike, deftly veered away, using one of its front claws to intercept the spear's trajectory. As a result, the spear merely grazed its body, leaving a trail of blazing sparks across its metallic scales.

Liu Yong watched in dismay as the spear left only a faint mark on the creature's scales. It was a sobering revelation – the defences of this creature were indeed formidable.

Undaunted, the Overlord pressed forward. But before he could recover, the colossal creature retaliated with a mighty swipe of its claw.

"Boom!"

The colossal creature's blow struck Bawang squarely on the back armour, sending the 1,000-ton behemoth hurtling several meters away. The impact left visible, off-white marks on Bawang's carapace, each several meters long.

It was the end of the first round, and the results were precise. The two adversaries appeared evenly matched, with the Overlord finding himself slightly on the defensive.

Liu Yong's voice carried a note of urgency as he advised, "Overlord, please remember that it's larger than you. Avoid direct confrontation, and instead, use your advantage in speed to keep it off balance. Attack, retreat, harry, and tire it out."

Bawang, displaying remarkable intelligence, seemed to grasp Liu Yong's counsel. He no longer sought direct combat with the

Colossal creature, opting instead to exploit his superior speed, maintaining a safe distance.

Thus, an extraordinary scene unfolded, with the Overlord leading the chase and the colossal creature relentlessly pursuing from behind.

After a chase spanning more than ten nautical miles, the colossal creature finally realized it had lost track of the Overlord.
