Warlock of Oceans: My Poseidon System-Chapter 496: Sixth Floor: The Chamber of Seven Seas (17)
Cyrus was battling the leviathan head-on, his leviathan blood allowing him to resist the crushing pressure of the water. He clashed against one of its tentacles, using his trident to parry its strikes. With a roar, he surged forward, driving his trident into the leviathan's chest. The crimson lightning spread across its body, causing it to writhe in pain.
The trio began coordinating their efforts, each of them playing to their strengths to keep the leviathan and its summons at bay. Sylus focused on controlling the battlefield, using his water and ice magic to redirect attacks and slow down the leviathan's movements. Jesua targeted its weak points, her radiant strikes disabling its tentacles and claws one by one. Cyrus, the vanguard, drew the leviathan's attention, his relentless attacks forcing it to defend itself and preventing it from overwhelming the others.
Despite their coordination, the leviathan showed no signs of slowing down. It roared, its voice echoing through the water as it summoned another wave of monsters—Coral Colossi and Venomous Jelly Swarms. The trio steeled themselves, knowing this battle was far from over.
The battle erupted into pure chaos, a clash of bodies, magic, and strategy as the trio pushed themselves to the limit against the colossal Leviathan Horror and its endless tide of summoned monsters. The water churned violently, creating disorienting currents, but Sylus, Jesua, and Cyrus fought like a well-oiled machine, every move a testament to their skill and unity.
Sylus darted through the water like a shadow, his body constantly shifting to avoid attacks. A Shadow Siren lunged at him with its claws, and he spun just in time, letting its momentum carry it past him. As it turned for another strike, Sylus thrust his staff forward, channeling raw ice magic into the water. The siren froze mid-screech, trapped in an icy prison, but Sylus didn't stop.
He pushed off the seafloor, flipping backward to avoid the crushing jaws of an Eel Lord, which slammed shut mere inches from his feet. Using the movement of his flip, he conjured an arc of frost energy, slicing through the eel's coral armor and forcing it to recoil. But the Leviathan Horror loomed above, one of its massive tendrils whipping toward him.
Sylus raised a shimmering bubble of magic around himself, the water bending around it to deflect the impact. The shield shattered, but it gave him enough time to create a whirlpool of compressed air. He launched the whirlpool upward, sending it spiraling into the Leviathan's torso, forcing it to stagger and disrupting its summoning magic for a moment.
Jesua was a blur of radiant light, her blade flashing like a beacon in the murky water. Two Angler Reavers surrounded her, their glowing lures casting eerie blue light over her determined face. One swung a massive coral axe, and Jesua sidestepped it with fluid grace, the blade missing her by a hair's breadth. She twisted, planting her foot against the Reaver's chest and kicking off to propel herself backward.
The second Reaver lunged, its spear aimed for her heart. Jesua brought her sword up in a tight arc, deflecting the spear to the side and slicing through its arm in one motion. Her radiant energy flared, creating a blinding flash that caused both Reavers to recoil. Without missing a beat, she used the distraction to drive her sword into the first Reaver's throat, the light of her blade burning it from the inside out.
Jesua spun to face the second Reaver, but a Venomous Jelly drifted toward her, its tendrils crackling with energy. She pivoted in mid-water, slashing with pinpoint precision to sever its tendrils before they could touch her. The jelly exploded in a burst of phosphorescent goo, forcing her to shield her eyes.

Cyrus, towering and unrelenting, faced the brunt of the Leviathan Horror's wrath. A massive tentacle lashed out at him, and he gripped his trident tightly, planting himself against the sand to absorb the impact. The tentacle slammed into him, but his leviathan heritage allowed him to hold firm, his muscles straining as he shoved it back with raw strength.
The Leviathan roared, and its skeletal torso opened, releasing a surge of shadowy energy. Cyrus twisted his body, using the water's currents to spiral upward and dodge the blast. He hurled his trident like a javelin, the weapon crackling with crimson lightning. The trident struck the Leviathan's glowing chest, sending bolts of energy rippling across its form.
As the Leviathan writhed in pain, Cyrus called the trident back to his hand, its return creating a shockwave that sent a nearby Coral Colossus tumbling. Cyrus didn't let up—he surged forward, driving the trident into the Colossus's chest, and channeled his magic to overload its regenerative core. The Colossus exploded into a shower of coral shards, but not before another Eel Lord wrapped its muscular tail around Cyrus's waist.
Snarling, Cyrus grabbed the tail with both hands, his claws digging in. He spun in the water, using the eel's own momentum to fling it into a group of approaching Shadow Sirens, scattering them like bowling pins.
The trio constantly adapted, their teamwork allowing them to overcome the seemingly endless tide of enemies. Jesua took point, her radiant blade creating safe zones by dispersing the spectral Shadow Sirens and carving through the more corporeal foes. Sylus stayed on the move, using his ice and air magic to keep the battlefield controlled. He froze the water around the Venomous Jellies, immobilizing them, and created barriers to funnel enemies toward Jesua and Cyrus.
Cyrus was the anchor, holding the line against the Leviathan Horror itself. His crimson lightning disrupted the monster's summoning abilities, buying precious seconds for the others to regroup. When the Leviathan's tendrils surged toward Jesua, Cyrus intercepted them with a powerful upward slash of his trident, redirecting the attack.
But the Leviathan's tactics evolved. It summoned a Shadow Siren directly behind Sylus, forcing Jesua to dive in and intercept it with a quick slash. The Leviathan then created a whirlpool to disorient the group, but Sylus countered with his own magic, generating an opposing current to stabilize their movements.
The Leviathan's skeletal torso began to glow ominously, signaling another devastating attack. "Spread out!" Jesua shouted, and the trio separated just in time as a beam of shadowy energy cut through the battlefield. They regrouped quickly, each one battered but unyielding, their resolve shining brighter than ever against the abyssal darkness.
The fight was far from over, but the trio fought on, their movements a harmonious blend of magic, skill, and determination against the overwhelming odds.
The battle raged on, a symphony of chaos as the trio clashed against the titanic Leviathan Horror and its endless tide of summoned sea monsters. Each move was a desperate act of survival, yet every counterstrike revealed their unwavering determination. The water churned with violence, glowing with bursts of magic and refracted light from the Leviathan's glowing lure and the radiant energy emanating from Jesua's blade.
Sylus twisted mid-dive as a Shadow Siren lunged for him, its spectral claws slicing through the water. He swirled his staff to deflect the attack, creating a sphere of compressed air that detonated with a sharp pop, shattering the siren's form into vapor. A Venomous Jelly drifted toward him, its tendrils crackling with paralyzing energy. Sylus kicked off the sandy floor, swimming upward and drawing the creature into a narrow choke point between two jagged coral formations.
As the jelly's tendrils lashed out, Sylus conjured twin icicles and launched them in rapid succession. The first pierced its center, halting its advance, while the second froze its tendrils in place. Sylus spun the staff in his hands, driving its sharpened end into the frozen creature, shattering it into shimmering shards.
The Leviathan Horror, sensing Sylus's success, sent one of its massive tendrils surging toward him. Sylus didn't hesitate; he flipped backward, planting his staff into the seafloor to vault himself over the attack. As the tendril embedded itself in the sand, he conjured a spinning vortex of water around its base, pinning it temporarily while he retreated to reposition.
Jesua was surrounded, her glowing blade illuminating the murky depths as a group of Armored Eel Lords and Angler Reavers closed in. One of the Eel Lords lunged, its coral-covered jaws snapping at her. Jesua sidestepped the attack, slashing upward with her blade and cutting through the beast's jaw.
The recoil pushed her back into the path of an Angler Reaver wielding a barbed trident. The Reaver struck with deadly precision, but Jesua spun, using her momentum to deflect the strike with the flat of her blade. The force pushed her downward, and she kicked off the sand to propel herself upward, driving her blade into the Reaver's chest. The radiant energy burst outward, burning through the creature's flesh and forcing the others to retreat momentarily.
Another Eel Lord surged forward, aiming to crush her with its tail. Jesua crouched low, letting the tail sweep over her, then thrust upward with her sword, severing the tail cleanly. Her movements were a blend of aggression and defense, her radiant strikes disrupting the spectral and physical monsters alike.
