The Extra's Odyssey Chapter 180 First Trial [Sea Overlord]

Chapter 180 First Trial [Sea Overlord]

(Open your eyes!)
(It has not ended!)
Nathan's eyes shot open at the warning.
Pillars of light were falling from the sea, landing on the ground, and through the diminishing mist...
"Goddammit!"
....14 leviathans descended.
The monsters were coming to avenge their fallen brethren.
Waaaaaoooooo-
An earthshaking roar, oncoming calamities, and the lone challenger.
It was chaos.
Nathan was looking above, glaring at them with his sword in hand. His gaze swept through the surroundings and he strained his throat before shouting:
"Return!"
Boom-!
A golden streak tore through the mist, returning to its master.
Nathan gazed at his legs, which were bent in the wrong directions, and brought out three vials of elixir.
He moved quickly.
Crrrraack-
Holding his bones in the correct position, he gulped one vial down and poured the contents of the other two on his legs.
[Stamina - 5 --> Stamina - 7]
[Constitution - 11 --> Constitution - 15]
He didn't hesitate and used his stat points. If anything, he knew he was only alive thanks to becoming weightless, otherwise, he would've died when he crashed into the ground.
Waaaaaoooooo-
The leviathans drew closer, their massive bodies beginning to take shape through the mist.
Nathan took a deep breath and held it for a moment before exhaling like an engine, filling himself with all the remaining air in his lungs.
"As if I'll give up here!"
His body lit up as if it was on fire.
Boom-!
The golden spear was still thousands of meters away.
He constructed a sword above him and climbed on top of it.
10--no, 5 seconds, Nathan needed only 5 seconds and the God-Killing Spear would return.
He didn't see what happened earlier, but he understood that the spear was more than capable of harming the leviathans.
HIIISSSSSSS-
Suddenly, the mist vanished.
The view became unobstructed.
Nathan shuddered when he found the leviathans circling him and, following the monster's gazes, looked above.
HIIISSSSSSS-
The sea spilt apart.
A gargantuan Face appeared from the sea.
The sheer size of the Face was so enormous that Nathan failed to comprehend its true dimensions. It was the size of a small mountain, and the eyes were slits wide enough to fit an entire city inside them. The mouth was just as big, and there were no teeth whatsoever.
HIIIISSSSS-
The Face opened its eyes, revealing their murky green color.
Nathan felt his soul freeze.
His thoughts stopped and his body turned rigid like a stone.
He couldn't move. He could only stare at the gargantuan Face.
Waaaaooooo-
However, he was the only one who stopped.
The leviathans charged forward, their claws ready to tear him to shreds, their maws opened wide to devour him.
'Move'
Waaaooooo-
The leviathans charge toward him as if they wanted to see who would eat him first.
'Move'
Nathan tried to move, knowing what was about to come.
The group of leviathans closed in, jaws wide open, ready to feast on his flesh.
The largest leviathan opened his jaw and-
'MOVE!'
-ate him whole.
Until the last second, his body refused to move.
Waaaaoooooo-
The leviathan, the one who ate Nathan, roared triumphantly and flew back to the sea. The rain was coming to an end, it was time for them to go back to their mother.
Until the end... Nathan couldn't do anything.
***
The God-Killing Spear was lying on the ground, waiting for its master's command.
Higher in the sky, the leviathans were returning to their mother after enacting their vengeance.
The gargantuan Face kept its eyes on the leviathans, seemingly weighing down everything under its gaze with an invisible barrier of pressure.
HIISSSSSS-
The rain had reduced to a drizzle, slowly the dawn was approaching.
When everything was approaching the end...
Clatter-
...the Spear trembled.
A reddish-black flame exploded outwards from the belly of the largest leviathan.
Shiiiing-
As if responding to those ferocious flames, the Spear floated, and its tip aimed at the leviathan.
Booom-!
The Spear shot into the sky.
HIIIISSSSSSSS-
Waaaaaaaoooooooooo-
The monsters moved at their mother's command.
The smaller leviathans began wrapping around the largest leviathan.
Their flesh melted and meshed together, forming one large abomination of a Leviathan.
WAAAAAAOOOOO-
The monster dove downwards, opening its enormous maw to engulf the puny spear.
Boooom-!
The spear broke through the sonic barrier and only kept speeding up.
There was a flash of light, and then... nothing.
The Leviathan swallowed the spear. The beast's maw was so large that it consumed the entire spear, leaving behind only a tiny black speck.
It was a futile struggle of an-
WAAAAAAAAO-
Suddenly Leviathan bellowed in pain! It writhed in agony!
Before the Leviathan could recover...
Boom-!
A golden shimmering light flashed through its body and the Spear tore open the monster's belly!
HIIIISSSSSSSS-
The Face hissed in wrath, calling for its children.
"Go"
However, before it could move, a soft whisper came out of the figure standing on top of the spear.
It was Nathan!
His entire body, clad in [Zero] was negating the Face's paralyzing ability!
Booom-!
Following its master's command, the Spear flew to the face with a resounding blast!
Nathan, having lost his footing, was falling back to the surface, below him the Leviathan was rushing to devour him again!
The Leviathan(s) roared in indignation, unable to quench its anger at suffering defeat in front of its mother's eyes.
"[Golden Turtle]"
First Technique: Construct
Second Technique: Spatial Rupture
A golden shield enclosed his figure, 10 weapons appeared around him, 20 cracks formed in the air, bringing 20 more additional weapons into the world.
The monster swept its tail, crushing all the weapons.
It shot a water spear, blasting his golden shield.
A roar from it nearly shattered his brain.
Nonetheless, Nathan didn't bother to look below, his gaze following his spear.
Finally, the moment came.
The spear penetrated the Face's right eye!
An earth-shattering cry blasted through the world.
The sea roared, the winds howled, thunder shook the sky, and the Leviathan broke into 14 'smaller' leviathans.
The Face howled in anguish and its children ran back to it.
"...I guess this is goodbye."
Nathan whispered to himself as he fell to the ground.
The rain finally stopped, and dawn appeared, bringing peace along with it.
The Face submerged back into the sea along with the leviathans, all angrily roaring at him.
He continued to fall, a blissful smile on his face.
(Do something!)
(You'll fall to your death at this rate!)
The rain took the weightlessness along with it.
Nathan was falling back to the ground at an alarming pace.
'I can't'
He had burned every last drop of his ether and nether to wrap himself in [Zero]. If he hadn't, he would've never been able to escape the strange pressure, the Face put over him. It was only after that he could call the Spear back and escape the monster's stomach.
The barrage of attacks was his final struggle to stall the Leviathan until his spear struck the Face.
'Guess I'll try one last time'
He raised his arm and called for the only weapon left on the battlefield.
"R..e..turn"
His throat stung, his tongue felt dry, and his vision had darkened.
And yet, he was still conscious.
This was his last and final attempt.
Nothing answered his call.
He closed his eyes, he had fought with every bit of his strength, he had struggled until the end, not giving up even when the leviathan ate him.
Nathan felt bitter in his heart. He was proud to have fought this far, but he wasn't happy. He was tired of always being constantly beaten down, he no longer wanted a victory achieved by the skin of his teeth.
A desire appeared in his heart.
'I want to win'
He wanted to win.
'I want to WIN!'
He wanted to achieve an overwhelming victory!
Booom-!
As if answering to his desire, a golden streak tore through the sea!
His eyes widened.
The emotions he thought he had lost came rushing and filled his heart to the brim.
"HAa...Aahaha..Aaahahahaha!!"
He had decided.
He was going to fight.
Throw whatever at him, be it the Villains, the Outsiders, the Monarchs, the one who brought him here himself, he was going to win against all of them!
If they were Gods, then he would become the calamity to bring the Gods down!
"It was you who bought me here, it was you who started this game, but I'll be the one to bring an end to all of this!"
A burning sensation traveled through his throat, his body felt like someone with superhuman strength had beaten it up; his face was sticky with sweat, and his eyelids felt heavy, but he didn't stop, rather he shouted louder with a grin etched on his face.
"Sea Overlord! My first target is you! The next time you return will be your last!"
The being wanted him to change the future?
He'll change it.
Nathan would twist fate to the point that even the being himself would fail to foresee the future!
