Ding!
[While Aquarius wanted to go as fast as possible back to where his mother and the rest of his family were living to see the newborn Sea Dragon egg, he was suddenly interrupted by yet another Sea King, this time a smaller one than the Tyrannic Shark of the Dead Seas, yet just as deadly, the powerful [Sharp Toothed Abyssal Piranha Queen (Rank 9: Upper Stage)]!]
[The monster not only threatened him but was also able to speak the common underwater dialect, showing clear signs of intelligence. Yet such intelligence was not coming from the monster itself, but from something darker and more malicious parasitizing it, much like it happened with the Tyrannic Shark of the Dead Seas.]
[Assist Aquarius on surviving against the Sharp Toothed Abyssal Piranhas School while protecting Tyrant, and defeat the Boss Monster, the [Sharp Toothed Abyssal Piranha Queen (Rank 9: Upper Stage)] with Aquarius giving the last hit!]
[If either Tyrant or Aquarius die, you will all automatically lose the trial.]
[Time Limit: 30 Minutes.]
It finally begun. The "cinematic" became completely real, and as if it were some sort of virtual reality game, we were able to move and interact with this Dream. Our purpose now was much harder. We had to both protect Aquarius and Tyrant and also defeat the Boss with Aquarius giving the last hit, now that was quite demanding.
However, once the First Trial ended, we weren't the same already. All of my party had grown more accustomed to fight underwater, and several of us grew stronger by receiving the Divine Powe rewarded too. My daughters in special were brimming with power!
"Alright everyone, surround Aquarius and Tyrant! As big as they are we still need to protect them. Take down as many monsters as you can. This time they don't seem to be popping out of thin air." I said, quickly commanding my party.
"You will die today, Fate's Pawn!" Roared the Sharp Toothed Abyssal Piranha Queen, her entire body suddenly beginning to be encompassed on a dark veil that made her body look bigger. She swam as fast as she could towards Aquarius, opening her jaws.
CLAAAAASH!
The monster's sharp tooth pierced through Aquarius' arms, as he began beating the shit out of it with his tail and biting its head. But it was rather hopeless. The monster was incredibly durable under the effects of whatever was within it.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
"GRRHHHH YOU DAMN FISH! Agh, Tyrant!"
As that happened, Aquarius saw as Tyrant was being swarmed by hundreds of giant piranhas which started to slowly devour his tentacles and bite his skin and flesh off.
"GRUOOHHHH…!"
Tyrant started shaking his body around wildly, but that wasn't really working. The beast, aside from brute strength, had no magical abilities to be honest.
However…
"[Starlight Meteor Charge]!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
A small little dragon girl swam across the oceans at an incredibly fast speed, resembling a flashing golden star as she pierced the bodies of dozens of Giant Piranhas, killing them all in mere seconds.
"[Twinkle Star]!"
Benladra immediately proceeded to unleash an even deadlier spell as she raised her tiny hands and summoned countless stars made of light, which started piercing and exploding around, killing another dozen monsters at once.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM!
"[Healing Light]!"
FLUOOOSH!
And at the same time, she touched the body of Tyrant and covered him with a healing light. His wounds slowly began to recover and cicatrize rapidly, maintain him stable and healthy.
"[Mechanization]!"
In the other side of the battlefield, little Kate utilized the corpses of the many monsters left behind by her sister to transform them. A combination of her Matter Manipulation Ability with her Technomancy and System Magic together, it was something like necromancy, making dead corpses turn into mechs.
FLUOOOOSH!
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
The sound of dozens of metallic jaws biting around rapidly echoed around the seas as Kate raised an army of mechanic Giant Piranhas, utilizing them to keep the situation at bay.
"RAAAAAHHHH! [Coral Fist]!"
CLAAAASH!
Meanwhile, a gigantic fist made of jewel-like corals hit the Sharp Toothed Abyssal Piranha Queen with great force, blowing it away from the scene. The young Coral managed to step in faster than the rest of us, saving Aquarius.
His body quickly continued growing into a titanic size, as he started shielding most of us with it against hundreds of Giant Piranhas at once, while the little Rose used her Stigma to create walls and barriers made of Mirages and Illusions, strengthening our defenses, and confusing our foes.
"[Mirage Barriers]! [Deceiving Illusions]! [Mirage Familiar Recreation]! [Mirror Clones]!" She conjured many new spells, creating an army of clones made out of illusions and mirages that looked like the Giant Piranhas, and using them to distract them.
"RAAAAAHHH! Coward! You've brought allies?!" The angered Sharp Toothed Abyssal Piranha Queen roared furiously back at Aquarius.
"Yeah, that's right." I smiled back, holding Skadi and Uller with both of my hands, as Belle, Rose, and Gabriel floated at my side, unifying their powers with my weapons and my own body, and generating a shockwave of Divine Power.
TRUUUUUMMMM…!
"Unnnggh…! S-Such combined Spiritual Power! Just who are you?!" The Sharp Toothed Abyssal Piranha Queen roared, her eyes glowing red. The one speaking wasn't this giant and innocent fish, but the monster parasitizing her body. A being that I've begun to realize who could it truly be now.
"Y-You are… I think I remember you from somewhere- Wait, you're my big bro and your friends?!" Asked Aquarius in shock.
"That's right lil' bro, I am here to help you out." I said with a smile, as Aquarius was happy. "Now, don't you remember the moves I showed you back then?"
"Ah!" Aquarius quickly remembered. Although he had grown bigger and more adult, he still lacked a stronger resolve and a calmer mind. Due to the panic he felt, he most likely wasn't able to fully use his magic. "Right… [Ocean Dragon Vortex]!!!"
FLUUUUUOOOOOSSSHHHH!!!
