Logan, who had waited all day to capture such a creature, was more than ready to take action—but diving in for a head-on fight wasn't the best option. Instead, he went with the second-best option.
While in the air with his for bright wings, Logan waved his hands, he began to freeze the waters around the massive shark, forming thick layers of ice to trap it in place while leaving enough of its form exposed using the powerful ice skill Icy Dominion to freeze the water around them.
He'd heard that large sharks needed to keep swimming to breathe. He didn't know if that applied to this species, but he wasn't about to take unnecessary risks. Immobilizing it without suffocating it required careful timing—and it was proving harder than expected.
Every so often, the shark launched pressurized jets of water that hit like cannonballs, forcing Logan to dodge quickly or raise shields to protect the ship.
"You're becoming a better catch by the second," Logan muttered as he landed atop the ice prison. He stood over the shark, which thrashed violently beneath the frozen surface. Wyver's skill, was holding for now—but just barely. Cracks webbed through the structure, forcing Logan to constantly patch it up with additional mana before the entire formation collapsed.
Despite the danger, a faint grin tugged at his lips.
There was a thrill to this—taming and fighting a creature that was wild and unwilling. Still, he couldn't go all out. One wrong move, one overpowered skill, and he might kill the creature by accident, even if it was three tis his size.
He didn't have tentacles like his newly tad squid, Sea-King, but he wanted to test an idea—one inspired by the creature's battle style.
Logan drew his whip and channeled darkness elental through it giving a thicker consistency while twisting the weapon into multiple tendrils. Each tendril snapped with crackling energy, mimicking Sea-King's rune-lined limbs. Sparks danced along the black strands as they surged forward.
Logan's mana pulsed through them as he pushed the idea further.
He wasn't just copying Sea-King's movents—he was infusing both electrical and darkness energy. The tendrils, enhanced with electricity, cracked as they hit the water with force breaking the ice away in its place it held the shark keeping it from going under as Logan pulled it up with all his strength.
The tendrils surged down into the gaps in the ice, striking the shark with rapid, stinging arcs of electricity. Not lethal—but enough to force its submission.
The shark began to move—slowly, shakily—even while paralyzed.
Despite the electricity still coursing through its body, it tapped into its innate control over water, trying to slip away. The web holding it in place trembled under the strain. But the more it thrashed, the more damage it sustained as electricity entered its body. As for it's ntal defense it was weakening, Logan's thoughts began to trickled into the creature's mind, a steady pressure that slowly forced it into submission.
It resisted—but each struggle was weaker than the last.
"Still fighting, huh?" Logan narrowed his eyes, focusing on the shape disappearing beneath the water, and yet the shark could not go under water as webs and two tentacles were wrapped around it.
Logan on the other hand couldn't see clearly from above the waters surface, he relied on the position of where the creature pulled him as well as sowhat calculating the position where his blood link was trying to connect.
The spiderwebs—woven from Regal's enchanted silk—were still holding strong, crew mbers and beasts holding the lines as best they could to keep the shark in place. Even Lady Elara had joined in to help reinforce them.
Let's end this soon, the others won't hold out for long...
Logan extended his hand, conjuring another tendril that wrapped against the shark—one inspired by Sea-King, Abyssal Grasp.
Dark tendrils shot into the water, ethereal limbs rippling with suppression magic that would stun the creature. They coiled tightly around the shark's form, halting its movent and dimming the flow of mana in the water around it. The pressure stunned the beast, locking it in place.
Another whip of darkness lashed through the air one more of Sea-King's skills—Arc Rending Strike. Lightning arced across the surface, cracking into the creature's flesh and jolting it violently. Once. Twice, before it seized moving.
The thrashing stopped.
Only silence remained beneath the waves.
Logan hovered two ters above the water's surface, his Angelic Wing's creating ripples through the sea's surface while keeping him aloft. He did not dare descend any lower.
Logan wasn't going to risk getting bitten by a monster that size, not when the taming was still incomplete.
Then, the shark turned.
Its gaze locked onto him—cold, primal, and filled with fury.
It surged upward.
Logan's instincts kicked to the size, using the monster's snout as platform he veered back, but the shark dived and broke through the surface again like a missile, water exploding around it. Its jaws missed him by a hair's breadth.
The third ti, Logan didn't just dodge—he blocked, infusing mana into his shield to make it bigger as it expended in size.
A dark barrier ford around his forearm just as the shark burst from the water again, propelled by a torrent of compressed water beneath its tail. He braced himself and slamd the shield directly into the beast's snout, deflecting the strike with a grunt.
Sparks danced across the barrier as the sharks scales collided with his own.
The force of the hit sent Logan backward several ters in the air—but he kept steady.
"Alright," he muttered, eyes locked on the creature still thrashing while trying to break out of its entanglent. "If you want to play hard…"
He cracked the whip again.
"I'll give you sothing to rember."
Logan was done playing gas.
If the creature didn't want to be tad the easy way, then it would learn to obey through force.
He hovered calmly, letting the wind and mana swirl around him. The shark circled below, its body twitching with defiance, its hatred for the boy was evident in its rage filled movents. Logan didn't care. He waited, silently watching, anticipating the next lunge.
The shark surged again.
Just as expected, but this ti, Logan didn't retreat.
Flash Leap.
He vanished in a blur of motion using his Spearfish's skill. Water erupting behind him as he reappeared midair directly above the charging beast as Logan gained the ability to walk in water—mana converging into a strike ant for airborne targets. The instant he made contact; he didn't strike with just physical power.
His foot crashed down with Tide Dart, a skill that also belonged to the weaker aquatic creature, aning it would hopefully not kill the shark.
The compressed burst of water from the kick launched the shark downward like a torpedo, slamming it toward the ship's side—carefully aid so it wouldn't destroy the vessel but would disorient the beast.
The impact rang across the deck, stunning everyone for a split second as Thalas the dolphin used its ability to light the way while keeping as far as he could from the battle.
More importantly, it stunned the shark.
Its ntal defenses faltered, and yet Logan didn't waste the opening.
He extended his whip, blood dripping from its barbs.
Sanguine Thorn.
Using the blood he'd been steadily from his finger collected around the whip, as Logan conjured several thin needles. They wrapped around the whip and into the shark lodging into the flesh beneath its scales. Not just to wound—but to bind it again. The thorns weren't just piercing flesh they were breaking the large fishes ntal defense.
With each needle, more of Logan's blood entered the beast. And the more blood, the stronger his will beca inside its mind.
It thrashed violently, water churning like a maelstrom—but it was slowing.
Its thoughts were clouding, it's ntal resistance was crumbling.
"You're strong, I'll give you that," Logan said with a long exhale, landing softly back on the large shark with his wings flickering behind him.
The shark groaned low in the water—a primal sound, like a fading roar.
It didn't try to jump again. Instead… it floated as if resting the battle had weakened it plenty, as soon as the creature accepted the taming, it began to glow, as if just being tad was enough for it to evolve, within seconds the strange shark grew a few more fins, it also grew about two ters longer reaching almost seventeen ters in total.
The pact began to finalize, Logan waited a few seconds before checking on the creatures stats, he was t with surprise, this must have been a long-lived predator, its high level confird that at least.
