Chapter 1031: High Waves, Higher Stakes (4)
The Chimaeric Demon acted. It bit into the monster's flesh, leaving a gaping wound on it and prompting the creature to leave his brother from the vicious grip. The two clones then put
some space between them and the thaid.
They exchanged glances, with the unharmed clone asking to his brother if he was ok, to which The replied he was.
Communication wasn't easy without the ability to speak, but the Chimaeric Demons had come up long ago with a series of communication methods based on facial expressions and gazes.
Then the two circled their opponent. Their initial clumsiness in the water was fading as they grew accustomed to their new bodies and the surrounding water, but it still wasn't easy to move, not like they wanted.
The only silver lining to the situation was that they were obviously faster and stronger than the sea thaid, but that didn't mean he couldn't hurt them.
However, this was a creature born and developed in the sea. It was much more experienced than them in underwater movements, and for sure, it was better than them at fighting under water.
The sea thaid eyed them with fury, and a slight tint of madness.
One of the Chimaeric Demons made the first move. He darted forward, his powerful tail propelling him through the water with increasing confidence.
The sea thaid tried to dodge the missile like attack, but his improved control allowed him to adjust his course. His teeth sank into the thaid's flank, tearing away scales and flesh.
The creature let out a loud, high-pitched cry of pain, like a whale's. The clones had never seen a whale because they went extinct centuries ago, eaten by thaids that spread in the water back then, but if they imagined one, it must have been like what they just heard.
Although these enemies appeared, based on its instinctive judgment, to belong to the same race, the situation was foreign and unsettling, because they used tactics it had never seen using. It didn't know what a tactic was, of course, but he could sense the battle was too hard than it should've been.
The sea thaid's struggles became even more desperate. It knew it had only a brief window of opportunity before the clones, currently blinded, would regain their sight and attack again.
It spun and rolled, its body sending currents swirling through the water above. But the Chimaeric Demons matched its movements with ease at that point.
Blood clouded the surrounding water, making visibility difficult. But the Chimaeric Demons didn't need to see clearly at that point. They could feel the thaid's weakening struggles and sense the slowing of its movements by sensing the water movements. The blood loss was too great.
Just as victory seemed within the Chimaeric Demons' grasp, a voice echoed in their minds. It was Erik. He was reading his clones' mind, so he had a rough understanding of what was happening.
"Hold back. I need to analyse the creature before you finish it. I need to find out how strong it is and how it compares to the other thaids we will find. Lure it to the surface. Use its rage
against it."
The Chimaeric Demons quickly let go of the sea thaid. They couldn't ignore a command from their creator. Their only job was to fulfill his wishes and keep him safe.
Swimming back, they created some space between themselves and the prey they had wounded. Their sudden retreat left the thaid confused, causing it to stay in the deep, struggling to breathe through its injured gills.
The two clones exchanged a glance, then swam upwards. They moved slowly at first, almost
teasingly.
Despite its pain and exhaustion, the sea thaid succumbed to its predatory instincts and took the bait. Driven by a strong and primal rage, the same one that affected all thaids, it surged forward, intent on not allowing its tormentors to escape from it.
