Moon's Labyrinths

Chapter 244

Chapter 244

Zzuh-uhk!

The Leviathan opened its huge mouth . Each of its teeth was larger than that of an adult human, and the sight of it looked menacing . However, the teeth weren’t a threat to Sungyoon’s party at that moment; the threat was something else .

A bluish substance started to appear within the monster’s mouth .

The party didn’t have the time to say anything . Sungyoon grabbed Emily, and Tim grabbed Grace . Then they sprinted away .

Puh-uhng!

An enormous and violent stream appeared from the monster’s mouth . It was just water . However, it was a pressurized, unending stream of water, and thus, the water turned into a calamity .

Koo-oo-oong!

It felt as if the entire labyrinth was shaking .

The water breath landed behind Sungyoon’s party, and the destructive capability of the attack made them shudder with fright . They could imagine what would have happened had they been hit by the attack .

“Where should we go?”

Tim desperately looked around as he tried to find a refuge .

“Let’s get behind one of the water drops in the back!”

“W-will that stop the water breath?”

Emily was being carried around like luggage by Sungyoon, and she asked worriedly .

“We have no choice!”

The water breath was much faster than them, and at this rate, they would be swept up in the crazy current . Moreover, Sungyoon knew he was right .

‘Even if the water breath is powerful, the mass and size of the water drop . . . ’

The four of them hid behind a water drop .

Puh-uh-uhng!

The water breath reached the water drop that the party was using as a shield . The water drop violently shook, and the party heard the mermen scream .

As Sungyoon had expected, the water breath couldn’t pierce through the water drop, and the water current tapered out .

The party let out a sigh of relief . Until now, the water drop had been the habitat of the mermen, and those monsters had used it to torment Sungyoon’s party . However, that same water drop looked like a trustworthy shield to them now .

“Why is that here? A Leviathan should be living a bit deeper into the Great Labyrinth . Isn’t it on the same rank as the Behemoth?”

Tim ranted .

Behemoth .

It was the monster that Sungyoon and Grace had defeated in London . However, Sungyoon and Grace weren’t under the delusion that they had defeated the real Behemoth . The Connectors and the Behemoth alike suffered a reduction in power on Earth, and they knew that the effect was more adverse on monsters .

Sungyoon’s party was stronger than before, and they had a perfect structure . Yet, they knew it was highly likely that they would lose against a Behemoth at its full power .

“Sometimes higher rank monsters occupy higher floors if the floor has ideal living conditions for the monster . Moreover, the amount of magical energy here . . . ”

Grace waved her hand through the air to feel the ambient magical energy .

“This floor has enough magical energy to support a Leviathan . Moreover, it wouldn’t be too farfetched to say that the Leviathan has made this floor its home because it likes the water drops . ”

“Shit!”

Tim sounded nauseated as he spat out his word .

“Get away from the water!”

Hearing Sungyoon’s sudden shout, everyone moved away from the water drop without thinking . Sungyoon had already summoned his sword, and he stabbed it into the water .

Kahhhhhhhk!

Several mermen quickly ran away .

“They are a pain in the ass . ”

Tim needlessly swung his ax at the water drop, and the water sloshed .

As the party drove off the mermen, the Leviathan shut its enormous mouth and moved in earnest .

Soo-roo-roo!

Its snake-like body coiled like a spring .

Pah-ahng!

When it uncoiled, an abrasive and violent sound rang out . The Leviathan flew through the air and entered a water drop .

Splash!

Its destination was the water drop where Sungyoon and the others were hiding . Despite its enormous body, it moved swiftly and gracefully inside the water .

“Shit!”

Tim, who had retreated a bit to observe the Leviathan, became alarmed when he saw what the Leviathan had done .

“It moved to this water drop in front of us!”

Tim smacked the water that they were using for cover .

Keeeeeeek!

Kahhhhhhk!

Splash! Splash!

The mermen started jumping out of the water drop, and the party quickly got ready to fight them . However, the mermen didn’t even pay attention to the Sungyoon’s party and dashed toward a different water drop .

“We should get moving too!”

Sungyoon realized something bad was about to happen, so he gestured with his hand . However, the Leviathan moved before they could .

Puh-uhng!

“Ooh-ahhhhk!”

“Kyahhhhhhk!”

The Leviathan was already near the party, and it shot out of the water like a bullet .

Its massive body brushed past them .

Crunch!

Kiehhhhhhhhhk!

The huge monster ruthlessly bit a merman that had been running away in front of Sungyoon’s party . It swallowed the merman whole as it moved into a different water drop nearby .

“Is it gone?”

“Not yet . ”

He could see the Leviathan leisurely changing direction inside the water drop .

It once again tried to rush them . Sungyoon’s party desperately tried to dodge, but the huge monster moved too fast .

Puh-uhng!

The Leviathan’s body shot out of the water once again . Sungyoon quickly raised his shield as he pushed Emily to the side, outside of its attack range . The Leviathan’s body bent a little, then it violently twisted its body as it slammed Sungyoon’s shield .

Boom!

“Koo-oohk!”

Puh-ung!

The Leviathan sent Sungyoon retreating into another water drop .

“Mr . Sungyoon!”

Emily’s scream couldn’t penetrate the water .

Sungyoon looked around the water . He had been pushed very far into the water drop by the momentum of the Leviathan’s attack, and he could see his party members’ worried looks from afar . Sungyoon waved his hand once to signal that he was ok, then his eyes moved toward the Leviathan .

The Leviathan changed its direction a short distance away . Sungyoon’s shield spun as it displaced the water around it .

Koo-oh-oh-oh!

The monster opened its mouth wide and charged at Sungyoon . Sungyoon threw his halberd and ax, but the water pressure killed the power behind the weapons . The Leviathan didn’t blink an eye as it deflected the weapons and swam straight toward Sungyoon .

Boom!

‘Koo-oohk!’

Sungyoon barely blocked the attack with his shield . The water hindered his movements, while it was the home ground of the Leviathan . The Leviathan fluidly moved as its steel-like scales traveled like a bullet .

The Leviathan kept on tormenting Sungyoon .

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It kept ramming into him with an overwhelming force .

Sungyoon became the leaf lost in the wind as his body suffered abuse after abuse . His shield arm was slowly turning numb .

Puh-uh-uhng!

Its powerful tail rammed Sungyoon into the floor .

Koo-oo-oong!

Pain ran up his back, and the water couldn’t completely reduce the impact of his fall . When Sungyoon was slammed into the ground, Tim was about to rush into the water droplet . However, Sungyoon stopped him with a gesture of his hand .

Zzuh-uhk!

The Leviathan was trying to end Sungyoon . It opened its mouth as it swam toward Sungyoon for the final blow . Sungyoon’s eyes shone . His cape emitted light as it morphed into four wings .

Too-hwhak!

Sungyoon streaked through the water .

‘Thankfully, it works underwater . ’

Sungyoon successfully dodged the Leviathan’s attack . However, this was only the beginning for him . He then moved his hand .

Puh-uhng!

Stalagmites surged up from the ground . The water pressure didn’t bother it as the sharp pillars of rock stood tall . The Leviathan couldn’t decrease its speed, so it was about to ram itself into the stalagmites .

However, it was laughable to think that a spell of that level could significantly damage it . The Leviathan knew this, so it snorted and didn’t slow down . It just planned on turning its body at the last moment .

It would destroy the stalagmites and chase after Sungyoon . Unfortunately for it, stalagmites weren’t the only thing that Sungyoon had prepared .

Boom!

The gravity changed, and the violent increase in gravity created a downward pressure . Of course, gravity magic wouldn’t work on the Leviathan either, but Sungyoon wasn’t using his magic on the Leviathan, which had strong magical resistance .

He had used it on the water about the Leviathan .

Ggoo-uhhhhhhhhhhh!

When an extreme water pressure started to press down on it, the Leviathan panicked . It squirmed its body, but the water pressure kept pressing down . Moreover, it was already traveling at an extremely high speed .

The Leviathan crashed into the stalagmites straight on .

Koo-ahhhhhhhh!

Its scales broke, and its flesh was crushed .

Sungyoon exited the water as he watched the Leviathan thrash .

“Mr . Sungyoon!”

His party members had been helplessly watching from the sidelines . They immediately ran toward him . As if to greet the outside air, Sungyoon took a deep breath . The others thought he was gasping in pain from a wound, so their faces turned pale .

“A-are you ok? We should heal...”

Emily started to inject her magical energy into her Gem, but Sungyoon waved his hand at her .

“I’m not seriously hurt . Please save the spell . ”

Emily stopped .

“Did you kill it?”

Tim watched the Leviathan thrash its body .

“No . A low-level spell like that can only damage it a little bit . I probably pissed it off more . ”

As he spoke these words, Sungyoon glared at the Leviathan . Tim was astonished .

‘As expected, he’s amazing . ’

What would he have done if he was in the same position as Sungyoon? Tim was confident in his defense, so he would probably last longer than Sungyoon . But what good would be his awesome defense in the water?

Moreover, Tim’s defense wouldn’t stand a chance against a foe like the Leviathan . He could struggle, but in the end, those large teeth would rip him apart . On the other hand, Sungyoon had survived while fighting the Leviathan on its home ground . On top of that, he had dealt a big blow to the Leviathan before exiting the waters .

Tim felt his admiration for Sungyoon surge again .

“It’s coming!”

As red blood leaked out into the blue water, the Leviathan’s eyes turned violent . It charged at Sungyoon’s party . The party hadn’t been mindful of their surroundings because they were fighting a fierce battle against the Leviathan . They didn’t have to either, as the Leviathan had scared away all the mermen .

Unbeknownst to the party, a group had secretly surrounded them . This group was very careful since they didn’t want the Leviathan to change its focus onto themselves . Still, they had to prepare for the possibility of Sungyoon escaping the water drops even if it was unlikely . Therefore, they had made their encircling net airtight .

Plu-El and Aruwen were toward the back as they watched their men get into position .

“Ughhh!”

Aruwen groaned . His gaze was planted on the battle between the Leviathan and Sungyoon’s party .

“I felt this way last time, but they are really powerful . ”

Aruwen looked disgruntled by this fact, but Plu-El was truly impressed .

This environment was favorable to the Leviathan, yet Sungyoon’s party was holding up very well against it .

“Should we call them the Royal Gem user and his party members?”

“Hmmph!”

Aruwen snorted .

His stomach ached from jealousy .

This inferior being had awakened the Royal Gem . It angered Aruwen, but he couldn’t deny that this man was fighting an awesome battle with the Leviathan . Even with a lot of warriors at his side, Aruwen couldn’t guarantee a victory against the Leviathan .

The more he saw him, the more Aruwen disliked this man .

However, Aruwen soon calmed his heart as this would be the last time that man could run wild like this .

“Who cares? They are humans that we have to kill . ”

Murderous intent shone in his eyes .
