Underwater Action

The suit was really adaptive to all environments. They could feel that the temperature within the suit was maintained at all times. After wearing the suit, they didn't want to take it off, as it was so comforting.

" Oh man, this feels amazing…" Fatty was really getting the hang of the suit.

The suit was really light and didn't hinder their movements at all. On top of that, it acted as armor due to the durability of the nanobots that could block low level attacks.

Thirty minutes passed quickly and the duo walked up to the shore.

" Now, it will be a battle where you have to overcome your disadvantages. Underwater, you have to adapt to the beast's attack pattern and find a way to kill them. The suit will take care of the rest, so just focus on dealing damage and evading." August reminded them about the function of the suit.

" Hehe… hope the fishes don't swim away after seeing my new hammer." Fatty was quite confident about his new combat ability.

" Then let's find out."

August activated the cosmic bridge and on the other side, he used his force to create a barrier. The barrier surrounding them repelled the water. From the outside, it looked like a bubble that was increasing in size. When the barrier reached five meters in diameter, it stopped.

" This will be the place you will take a rest after hunting." August brought all the equipment and tents from the ground.

" But how are we going to find the beasts? We can barely see twenty meters from here, even with our lights." Fatty turned on a flashlight, but due to darkness surrounding them, He couldn't see anything clearly.

" We are below five hundred meters from the ground, so it will be hard to see." Daisy was looking at a device that measured the depth and the pressure.

" Wait, what if we use a bright light source that could attract the beasts." Fatty suggested his idea.

" Hmm… but if all of them came at once, can we handle them ?" Daisy spoke out.

They were now underwater, and their fighting ability was hindered and there was no ground, so moving around would be a hassle, even with the suits.

" Don't worry, there is a small horde of beasts heading this way. I calculated their path and brought us here." August said casually.

Both fatty and Daisy looked in the direction August was looking at. After some time hundreds of beasts swam around the bubble. They rotated around them and covered the whole surrounding area.

The beasts looked like sardines with a long pointy front. They were around a meter in length, with brown scales. They tried to enter inside the barrier, but due to August's force maintaining the bubble, it was impossible for them to enter the bubble.

" I will leave them to you," August said to them.

Looking at the beasts, they were all B rank beasts but their agility was high. The swimming speed showed that they could move quite swiftly.

Daisy stepped outside the barrier and took out her gun. The suit adjusted itself to cover her face. The nanobots absorbed the water and split the oxygen from it. The mechanism inside the mask provided her the oxygen she needed while constantly purifying the carbon dioxide she was exhaling. The hydrogen and carbon were then discarded outside.

She used her aura to coat the suit and her gun. The beasts noticed her coming out of the bubble, so they attacked her immediately. While they approached her, she shot out aura bullets and it killed the group at the front. Some beasts that were not in the line of sight slammed into her, but the suit seemed to absorb some of that hit.

She used her gun to slam the head of the beasts, and to her surprise, the gun changed shape and the end became pointy. She used it to skewer the beasts as they tried to attack her.

Fatty also got out from the bubble slightly after Daisy and swung his hammer towards the beasts. His swings created whirlpools that enveloped the beasts and they slammed into each other.

*Swash*

He used his aura and the shatter skill to split the water. All the beasts in front of him were also crushed by the attack. Blood spread around the water as the beats floated without life.

Daisy used her aura to shoot out bullets at tremendous speed. The bullets pierced the body of the beasts like tofu as they exploded by the impacts. The aura bullets were so powerful that they created huge holes in their body. The beasts that were behind were also pierced by the bullets as the bullets didn't slow down after penetrating one beast.

*zut* *zut* *zut* *zut*

The whole water became murky, as the fish scales and blood covered the surroundings. After about ten minutes both of them stopped as they killed all the beasts around the bubble.

As they moved towards the bubble after finishing the horde, they found that August was not there.

" Where did he go this time ?" Fatty entered the bubble and looked around.

" Probably left to hunt some SSS rank beast or something…" Daisy said that as a joke, but deep down she felt it was true.

****

After seeing them fight, August scanned the lake for any higher rank beasts, and he found some SS rank beast and one SSS rank beast.

After confirming their location he teleported to the first SS rank beast that was closest to him. For him other skills didn't matter much except for aura, as it was the primary force that determined the level of the awakened life forms, he wanted to absorb as much as possible.

He looked at the beast that was in front of him. It looked like a huge crab with several pincers. The huge body was about fifty meters long, as its pincers towered above him. The red glowing eyes looked at him as if he was some insignificant prey that came to be eaten.
