Born in Blood Chapter 537 Fairy

537 Fairy

Nine seconds.

As Liam struggled with his entangled powers, he slowly ca to a realization that his movents weren't entirely random.

Eight seconds.

There was a pattern involved.

Seven seconds.

The more Liam moved each muscle, all at once, even his eyes and toes. Six seconds. The growls of the galodon's stomach could be heard now.

Five seconds.

Liam increased the intensity of his movents. From one point of view, he looked uncannily possessed.

Four seconds. The more he continued moving, the more the disarray and confusion grew a little clearer!

Three seconds. In reality, it wasn't decreasing!

Two seconds.

It was as though a very intricate set of locks were being opened one by one — with each unlock, Liam regained normal movent.

One second.

By the tenth second, the galodon was so close, Liam could sll its breath with his enhanced nose. But by the tenth second, he had already gained full control of his entangled body — in a split second, he whipped out the Breaker and smashed it across the World Destroyer's hull-like nose. CLAAAAAAAANNNNGGG!

An ear splitting echo spread through the waves, ravaging the waters. The attack did nothing serious.

All it did was discombobulate the shark for barely a second. But in that one second, Liam was out and back to safety, letting the World Destroyer shoot past towards the other cultivators. "WELL DONE! YOU ARE SMART! PERHAPS YOU MAY PASS THIS COURSE? MAYBE!"

Liam steadied himself. He was still under the effects of the disarray bolt. But he finally figured out how to regain control.

It was as though his body was rerouted, and he was playing with soone else's controls. Flamboyant Woman eyed Liam dangerously. Despite being under such dangerous conditions, Liam still survived!

Liam sent her a chilling look. Then, he smirked a tiny, almost unnoticeable bit. The woman felt a slight shiver run through her spine. That smile ant one thing. 'I'll pay you back.'

Then, Liam shifted his gaze away and looked back at the massive shark, shooting stray bolts of lightning everywhere. 'How do we 'defeat' this thing?' Liam thought, staring at the participants that looked like they were the most experienced. They had to know sothing.

But as of now, they were just biding their ti and evading shots of lightning, making sure to stay as far and wide away as they could from Asta's pet. As of now, Liam had two choices. Choice one: imitate what the experienced ones did. Choice two: go crazy and wreck everything.

What did Liam choose?

Well, that's obvious. He chose the safest and most stable path to—

Choice two!

As everyone hectically swam away from the World Destroyer… Liam was rushing towards it!

Breaker in hand, he had a very vague outline of what he wanted to do. In short, it was causing as many issues for the strongest participants, like the Flamboyant Woman, Glob, and Mantis.

If sabotage was perfectly allowed, it made sense to get rid of the big dogs first.

And that's what Liam was doing.

He had no clue!

But he had a huge sword made from dragon scales, and enough strength to wrestle a dragon. Or in this case, a galodon. …Which is exactly what he did. Just as the World Destroyer sent a bolt of lightning straight at Mantis – who simply split the electric attack in half – Liam managed to propel himself onto the creature's armored spine, lodging the tip of the Breaker into one of the cracks as a crutch to resist the rapid speeds the shark swam at.

Then, he made the Breaker transform into the Black Blade, causing it to penetrate even deeper into the shark's thick flesh. "ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU ARE CRAZY! YOU ARE!" Asta bellowed from above. At this point, Liam was getting wide-eyed, incredulous looks. Thrashing violently, the World Destroyer grew even more agitated and furious. Screeching, it flung its tails wildly. Like a cowboy riding a wild bull, Liam held on and didn't dare let go.

As the seconds passed, Liam realized sothing.

Whenever Liam lodged his Breaker sword through the shark's armor, it moved in that particular direction.

Liam's sword had beco a joystick for controlling the shark! That made a huge grin form on Liam's lips. He didn't know why… But his sword had probably pierced sothing vital. Lucky.

And now?

Now, revenge.

The first thing Liam did was make the galodon make a sharp curve. WHOOM! Liam flashed a quick smile at one person.

The Flamboyant Woman.

Right now, it looked as though her mask of grace and confidence was threatening to crumble. Well… Liam didn't bla her. There weren't many that could keep calm when charged by a Rank 5 beast… well, maybe other than Liam himself.

"Dodge this, you filthy casual!" Liam scread and laughed as the World Destroyer was monts away from gorging the woman away from existence.

WHOOOOOM!

A sudden burst of energy exploded around the woman, swirling around her like a tide of intensely colorful flas. Imdiately, her aura changed, turning colorful and almost otherworldly. She had beco a fairy, sprouting glassy, moth-like wings from her shoulder blades and gaining another layer of grace and style.

Yet, strangely enough, it didn't seem like she beca more dangerous. Just… more beautiful and lithe. What happened next, would forever teach Liam not to judge a book by its cover. Just as the galodon opened wide to swallow the Flamboyant one, the woman made a rising gesture with her hand. Almost imdiately, the shark's swimming direction bent, rising alongside her gesture. A second later, she raised another hand, then made a sharp twisting motion with both arms. KRSHHHHHH! KRK! KRK! KRK! Like a wet rag cloth, the World Destroyer twisted across itself, cracks forming throughout its rigid exterior. Clearly not enough to kill it, but to considerably weaken its entire structure. 'That's just stupid,' Liam cursed, attempting to balance himself on the shark's back. Wasn't she Rank 4?

Why did she have an ability more suitable for Rank 5s? Though, despite Liam remaining on its back, the wondrous attack didn't reach him – everything had its limits. But Liam's sword was beginning to slip off, and he had no ti to fawn over what just happened. Just then, the galodon began charging once more.
