Warlock of Oceans: My Poseidon System-Chapter 484: Sixth Floor: The Chamber of Seven Seas (5)

Not giving it any time to recover, Jesua leapt onto its back, aiming her sword for a weak spot between its armored shell and the exposed flesh beneath. Just as her sword neared its target, a surge of water exploded from the Crab Man's body, throwing her back. The surge nearly knocked her off her feet, but Jesua was quick to regain her balance, her body fluid as she landed.

"I can't get in close too easily!" Jesua called out, her voice a mixture of frustration and determination.

Sylus was facing off with a larger Crab Man, whose trident now crackled with water energy. The creature swung the trident down in a downward slash, the water condensed into a razor-sharp blade that would have sliced through Sylus with ease if he didn't react quickly enough. He leaned backward, feeling the trident's edge brush past his robes.

Sylus didn't waste a second, immediately conjuring a wave of his own, sending a torrent of freezing energy crashing into the Crab Man's trident, freezing the water and forcing the creature to recoil. The Crab Man growled in frustration, but before it could react, Sylus spun, casting another spell—this one a bolt of lightning that arced through the water. It struck the Crab Man's shoulder, causing a series of violent spasms that left the creature momentarily stunned.

Sylus took advantage of the opening, closing in with his staff raised in front of him. He swung it in a wide arc, using his strength to force the creature into a retreat. The Crab Man, now wary of Sylus's magical attacks, began to wield the water around it like a shield, bending the currents to deflect Sylus's staff and lightning. Sylus, realizing the creature was learning, decided to change tactics. He turned his attention to the terrain, summoning a whirlpool at his feet to create a vortex that would throw off the Crab Man's sense of balance.

As the Crab Man was pulled toward the center of the whirlpool, Sylus quickly launched a volley of ice shards, each one piercing the water with deadly precision. The shards found their mark, striking the Crab Man's limbs and slowing its movements. The trap was set.

Cyrus, fully aware of his Leviathan blood coursing through his veins, was in his element. The larger Crab Men didn't intimidate him; they only fueled his desire to unleash his true power. He growled low in his throat as he squared off against a particularly massive Crab Man, whose claws had grown so large they looked like they could crush whole buildings.

The Crab Man swung one of its colossal claws in an overhead arc, creating a shockwave of water that threatened to crush everything in its path. But Cyrus wasn't one to be outdone. With his tail coiled, he launched himself forward, his claws outstretched. The weightlessness of the water allowed him to move with unparalleled speed. He slashed upward, tearing into the Crab Man's claw with his sharp claws. The impact caused the creature to stagger, but the massive Crab Man quickly retaliated by launching a surge of water from its other claw, aiming to drown Cyrus under its immense weight.

Cyrus wasn't caught off guard. He swam beneath the torrent of water, diving deep before using a burst of force from his tail to propel himself upward, slamming into the Crab Man's chest. His claws found their mark, sinking deep into the creature's abdomen, causing a spray of seawater to explode outward. The Crab Man let out a roar, trying to shove him away, but Cyrus latched on, digging in his claws to keep it from pushing him off.

Cyrus pushed off the Crab Man with a powerful thrust of his tail, flipping backward as the creature's claws swiped in an attempt to catch him. He could see the creature's next move—a massive tidal wave that would likely crash over him—but instead of retreating, he swam straight toward it, using his superior agility to dart around the water and get behind the Crab Man.

With a feral scream, Cyrus launched himself at the Crab Man's unprotected back, landing a devastating blow that sent the creature crashing to the ground with a massive splash. The force of the attack cracked the obsidian floor beneath them, sending fissures in all directions.

As Jesua, Sylus, and Cyrus fought the newly empowered Crab Men, their tactics became more synchronized. Jesua took the front lines, keeping the mutated Crab Men busy with her fast strikes and energy pulses, while Sylus created barriers and traps, ensuring the Crab Men couldn't surround them. Cyrus was relentless, using his raw strength and speed to target weak points, forcing the Crab Men to focus on him, allowing Jesua and Sylus to focus on taking them down strategically.

When the Crab Men tried to retaliate with water-bending attacks, Sylus and Jesua quickly adapted by using their own elemental magic to neutralize or counter the water-based offensive. Sylus's control over lightning and ice combined with Jesua's sword and energy manipulation kept the Crab Men off-balance, forcing them to react rather than initiate.

But the larger Crab Men had an advantage—massive water explosions, whirlpools, and tidal surges were more frequent, threatening to drown the trio with every new move. At each turn, Jesua, Sylus, and Cyrus had to think quickly and react faster, adapting on the fly to the changing tides of the battle.

Despite the pressure, the trio never lost focus. Each movement, strike, and spell was carefully calculated to avoid being overwhelmed. They were determined to push back against the Crab Men, knowing they couldn't afford to fail. The battle raged on as the Crab Men and the trio continued to clash, each side vying for control of the underwater labyrinth.

The mutated Crab Men were now behemoths of underwater ferocity, their bulk and agility making them an even greater threat. Their claws glinted with sharp coral edges, their eyes glowed with fierce bioluminescence, and their water-bending powers had reached an entirely new level of precision. Each movement of their bodies sent shockwaves through the water, stirring up clouds of sand and debris. Yet the trio stood resolute, forming a triangle of defense as the monstrous adversaries closed in.

Jesua faced one of the largest Crab Men, its newly grown carapace gleaming with sharp ridges. The creature roared, swinging a coral-encrusted cutlass in one claw while the other claw smashed forward in a pincer-like motion. Jesua dodged to her right, her body twisting gracefully to avoid the razor edge of the cutlass. She planted her feet firmly against the sand and countered with an upward slash, her blade glowing faintly as it struck against the hard exoskeleton with a loud clang.

The Crab Man retaliated with a sudden blast of water from its claw, forcing Jesua backward. She somersaulted through the water, her sword slicing through the debris as she stabilized herself. With a quick flick of her wrist, she hurled a dagger toward the creature's glowing eyes. The Crab Man swiped it aside with its claw, but Jesua was already moving, dashing in close with a burst of speed. She spun low, her sword arcing in a deadly curve, aiming for the joints where its carapace met the soft flesh beneath.

The Crab Man let out a guttural growl, bending the water to create a swirling shield around itself. Jesua's blade met resistance as it sliced through the spinning water, but she adjusted her angle, using the shield's momentum to vault over the creature's claw. She landed on its massive shoulder, driving her sword downward into the gap between its armor plates. The creature howled in pain, thrashing wildly to throw her off.

Sylus had positioned himself at the rear, keeping one Crab Man at bay with a series of calculated spells. This creature wielded a massive anchor like a flail, swinging it in wide arcs that sent shockwaves rippling through the water. Each swing was accompanied by a concentrated blast of water, designed to crush anything in its path. Sylus dodged the swings with quick, measured movements, his staff glowing as he summoned a barrier of ice to absorb the next incoming attack.

The anchor struck the ice shield with a deafening crack, shattering it into glittering shards. Sylus didn't wait for the Crab Man's follow-up. He raised his staff and conjured a spiraling vortex of water that encased the creature's legs, anchoring it in place. As the Crab Man struggled, Sylus released a bolt of lightning that arced through the water, striking the anchor and electrocuting the creature. The Crab Man writhed, its movements slowed by the paralyzing shock.

But the creature wasn't finished. It roared and bent the water around it, forcing Sylus's vortex to collapse. The anchor spun toward Sylus again, but he leapt backward, twisting his body to avoid the strike. With a quick incantation, he formed a shard of ice the size of a spear and hurled it toward the creature's chest. The shard struck true, piercing through the carapace and forcing the Crab Man to stumble.
