CRASH!
The sound of metal striking metal echoed through the water as Ripjaw's razor-sharp teeth, capable of cutting through steel, collided with the massive fangs of the sea monster. Sparks flashed underwater like tiny stars as the two sets of jaws locked in a deadly contest of strength!
CRACK!
Half a second later, the impossible happened!
Ripjaw's large jaws and sharp teeth began to penetrate the sea monster's enormous fangs, creating deep fissures that spread like spider webs through the ancient creature's dentition. Its teeth worked like countless steel spikes, piercing the monster's supposedly impregnable defenses!
The sea monster's ancient eyes widened in disbelief as it felt its teeth, harder than granite and honed by millennia of predation, actually crack under the Piscciss Volann's devastating bite.
That feeling of being overwhelmed...
It had been eons since anything had made him feel so vulnerable!
"Shawa Straight Punch! "
Ripjaws unleashed a devastating Fish-Man Karate technique, manipulating the water around him as he used the sea monster's massive teeth as leverage. His body twisted through the water with incredible grace, rising above his opponent before spinning in a perfect combat rotation!
His arms drew back, gathering streams of water that condensed under his martial arts mastery into two pressurized projectiles!
BOOM! BOOM!
The water droplets, hurled with such force that their impact was as hard as bullets, shot toward the sea monster like water missiles!
"ROAR!"
The prehistoric creature's eyes blazed with fury as it let out a bone-deep roar. Its massive tail swept through the water, attempting to deflect the incoming water projectiles with brute force.
"Useless!" Ripjaws' eyes gleamed with cold confidence as he witnessed the true power of Fish-Man Karate's ability to manipulate water and send powerful shockwaves through an opponent's body!
ROAR!!!
The next moment, the Sea Monster's triumphant roar turned into a scream of agony that echoed throughout the entire lake!
Its massive tail had indeed made contact with the water projectiles, but instead of deflecting them, the shockwaves went right through it, causing devastating internal damage! The compressed water attacks split apart upon impact, slicing through the creature's appendages like countless invisible blades!
Deep gashes appeared on the monster's tail, blood clouding the water around them!
"Success! This sharp-toothed alien is incredible!" Ben stared from the surface in amazement. In his mind, shouldn't the bigger creature automatically be stronger?
Ripjaws was so much smaller than the sea monster, yet he was clearly winning this underwater battle!
"I told you," Gwen replied from beside him, her voice filled with admiration. "Asher's alien transformations are all incredibly powerful."
SPLASH!
Layers of water erupted across the surface as Ripjaws, having completed his aerial maneuver, dove back into the depths of the lake. The moment he submerged, his phosphorescent lure illuminated the dark waters around him, and his gills allowed him to breathe freely underwater as he assessed his wounded opponent.
Instead of recoiling from his injuries, the sea monster felt his predatory instincts fully awakened. Its dark eyes filled with primal violence as it decided to throw caution to the wind. The creature plunged deeper into the lake, and the water immediately became turbulent with its massive movements!
"Time for the real fight!"
Ripjaws' enhanced underwater vision and natural aquatic abilities allowed him to navigate the murky depths with perfect clarity. He quickly dove deeper, following his opponent into the monster's natural domain.
His eyes were protected by special membranes that allowed him to see clearly underwater, while his phosphorescent lure served as a natural spotlight in the dark areas of the lake's depths.
The water grew darker and more ominous as they descended, but that didn't mean the sea monster had disappeared.
This was the calm before the storm!
Ripjaws remained motionless, using his powerful tail to maintain perfect positioning while his alert eyes scanned the surrounding darkness for any sign of movement.
Bubble streams began to erupt from somewhere ahead, some passing harmlessly by Ripjaws' face, others hitting him directly. Then came the telltale undercurrents that preceded a massive attack, causing his streamlined body to sway as his enhanced agility and dexterity helped him maintain his balance!
"Here it comes!"
Ripjaw's expression hardened with concentration as he stared into the murky depths. Through the dark water, a huge shadow was hurtling toward him at an incredible speed!
As the sea monster approached, the underwater currents rapidly intensified, threatening to destabilize even Ripjaw's superior water control!
"I can't match its raw power, I have to rely on technique!" Ripjaws assumed a classic Fish-Man Karate stance, preparing to use the advanced martial arts techniques that allowed practitioners to manipulate water itself.
"ROAR!!"
The sea monster attacked with primitive fury, lowering its massive head to ram Ripjaws with bone-crushing force. Its underwater speed was terrifying!
WHOOSH!
At the critical moment, Ripjaws used his powerful tail to propel himself upward along the undertow, swimming several meters higher with perfect timing. The sea monster's huge body swept past his previous position like a living torpedo, had he stayed there, he would have been pulverized!
He had escaped the initial attack.
But the battle was far from over!
The sea monster's massive size was both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness. Unable to quickly change direction after its failed attack, the creature was temporarily vulnerable as its momentum carried it forward!
Shawa Straight Punch!
Ripjaw's right arm muscles exploded with power as he channeled all his strength into a single devastating blow. His fist sliced through the water resistance and struck the sea monster's exposed back with the force of a sledgehammer, enhanced by Fish-Man Karate's ability to send shockwaves through an opponent's body!
"ROAR!!"
Another scream of pain echoed through the depths!
The angry sea monster quickly recovered and prepared for another frontal assault, but Ripjaws had completely analyzed its attack patterns. He used every technique in his Fish-Man Karate arsenal, timing his evasions perfectly and then counterattacking with precision strikes!
Seven Thousand Tile Roundhouse Kick!
Karakusagawara Seiken!
Five Thousand Tile True Punch!
Each devastating technique used the water around them for maximum impact, one after another in a relentless combination that showcased Ripjaw's incredible martial arts mastery! Each strike found its mark, battering the massive creature with overwhelming skill!
It was a completely one-sided beating!
In just two to three minutes, the sea monster's skin was covered in bruises and wounds, its once pristine scales now bearing the marks of Ripjaws' superior fighting skills!
The originally enraged prehistoric predator's confidence was systematically shattered with each perfectly executed technique. Panic began to replace anger as it realized the truth of its situation.
It had always been the apex predator of this lake, but today it was completely dominated by this smaller aquatic warrior!
The ancient creature began to feel real awe and fear before this master of Fish-Man Karate!
"Ready for another round?" Ripjaws clenched his fists confidently, breathing easily despite the intense underwater combat. His enhanced physiology was perfectly adapted to this environment.
As the sea monster prepared for what it thought would be its final, decisive attack, it looked into Ripjaw's determined eyes and felt its resolve crumble completely. The pain from its accumulated injuries seemed to intensify, and the creature instinctively began to shrink back!
The agony was overwhelming!
BOOM!
The next moment, something unprecedented happened!
The sea monster violently twisted its massive body, destabilizing its own center of gravity as it desperately fled to the deeper parts of the lake! In its panic, it burst through the surface, making a huge splash before disappearing into the depths!
Ripjaws floated in stunned silence.
If he understood correctly...
This ancient sea monster had just been so thoroughly beaten that it fled in terror!
Originally, Ben and Gwen had been worried sick about Ripjaws on the shore during the underwater battle. When they saw the sea monster suddenly emerge from the surface, their hearts almost stopped beating.
Had Asher been defeated?
But then they heard a familiar voice calling from the water.
"Well, that was easier than expected," Ripjaws said as he surfaced, his phosphorescent lure still glowing softly in the morning light. "Turns out prehistoric doesn't always mean more powerful."
The relief on Ben and Gwen's faces was immediate and overwhelming. Their cousin, their hero, had once again prevailed against impossible odds.
