NOVEL NEXT Chapter 158: Chapter 158
Percy put away the trident and opened his status page and there it was;
Luc-50(+50)=100
The lucky day perk he had effected his luck status, today was his birthday giving him more luck, meaning all loot he would get would be amazingly rare, and dead useful.
"That was to easy," Poseidon said crossing his hands, "doesn't count."
Percy frowned moving to his dad closing his status page, "you just don't want to admit how awesome I am."
"Nope, you just attacked an opponent who had their back turned, doesn't count."
Percy sighed, "fine." He then turned and the two walked further down the corridor which split in two. Above each tunnel was a board, 'Crab's Corner' and 'Shark Sink', no prizes if you guessed what was in the end of each tunnel.
"Which do you think is more dangerous?" Percy asked.
"Crabs most definitely," Poseidon said nodding his head.
"Really? Not sharks?"
"Sharks aren't really that vicious Percy. They just have a bad name, I swear if I ever get my hands on Steven Spielberg….anyway, yes, crabs are far more scarier than sharks. Especially with those black beady eyes….ergh!"
Percy shrugged, "crabs it is."
The turned left and walked down as slowly the smell of salt filled the air. The tunnel opened up to what looked like an inside beach, complete with a fake wall painted like the horizon, sand and a little bit of water. And sitting right next to the water and the sand was a huge cast of crabs. red, brown even some green ones. The all were soaking in the wet sand, and even from far away Percy could tell that these things were huge, almost 9 feet tall.
"Damn, looks like they got a real crab infestation on their hands," Poseidon joked gaining a deadpanned look from Percy, "what?"
"I now know the pain of dad jokes," Percy said as he took out Riptide and pulled out one of the blades he got from Hephaestus's forge in Boston, "anyway just watch me and be ready to be amazed."
Percy walked towards the water before activating his speed demon perk and blurring into the crowd of giant crabs. Percy managed to rip into three of them before the crabs even knew what hit them. He then summoned a wave of water into the beach drenching himself and causing most of the crabs to come out of their sand holes.
Ping!
You have entered a water body! Due to your parentage you have gained a boost!

+1000 MP

Percy ignored the message as he froze the water in front of him causing most of the crabs to freeze instantly. He turned to the rest that were alive and saw most of them carrying what looked like coral shaped into the form of a spear.
Percy grinned, 'that's more like it.'

The crabs all lined up one in front of another before leveling their claws at him with lance in tow. The then charged sideways with incredible speed but Percy was ready for them. He quickly froze the moisture in the sand underneath the crabs causing most of them to slip a little breaking their defence.
Percy channeled his earthquake power into his blades and swung them both downwards breaking the floor causing a huge fracture. Some crabs fell into the ground and got crushed, and the rest that lived quickly meet the business end of Percy's blades.
In the end there was nothing left, Percy stood alone on the battlefield with 700$ in cash littered all over the place, 7,200 worth of exp and a couple of celestial bronze lances;

"Well….that was fast," Poseidon said with an amazed look, "you took care of all of them like they were nothing."
Percy smirked, "yeah I know, I'm awesome."
And just then;
Ping!
Congratulations! You have beaten the Crab Corner in less than five minutes, enjoy your bonus match up!
"Wait what? What bonus match up?!" Percy asked but just then the artificial beach they were standing in started to rumble as out of the ground grew a huge armor plated crab with an axe on it's side big enough to cut one of the crabs from before in half.
"GRAAA!" the crab roared out and Percy sighed, "why me?"

A Monster that stands bigger than every other crab in the fish army, this monster has only one goal, to kill and rip apart its enemies. It's shell is made out of iron and it;s axe is sharp enough to cut a hair in half and heavy enough to break the ground if dropped down.
Kill to gain- 30,000 Exp
Percy pushed the box to the side and readied his blades, it was time he really cut loose. He quickly channeled his mana into the water around him in the fake beach-
"-I got it!" Poseidon yelled out as he jumped up and rammed his trident right into the monster's shell shattering it into pieces.
SMASH!
Percy looked at that and blinked. The pieces of the monster crab disappeared leaving nothing behind. Since he hadn't technically fought it there was not loot available, and no exp to be gained. Percy turned to his dad, "you fucking stole my kill!"
"Oh relax, it's not like you could have fought it off anyway," Poseidon said looking around.
"I could have fought it! And won! Heck I have fought meaner things that a giant crab! I once ripped apart the Chimera into peice with just Riptide! And what are you looking for?!"
Poseidon stopped looking around and scratched his head with a smile "sorry about that. I was just looking for some loot don't you usually get some?"
Percy sighed, "there won't be any loot, or experience points unless I fight it at least once. If not my powers don't activate."
"Oh…..sorry."
Percy grumbled, "let's just get going." The two then walked out of Crab's Corner and into the tunnel which lead to what looked like the armory for the fish army. Inside where sword fishes wearing european style armour standing on two legs.
"How about we do this one together," Poseidon said reading his weapon.
Percy smiled, "sure, why not."
Poseidon smiled and the two charged into the armory. The room was lined with racks of weapons and armor along the side. Percy grabbed a trident of the rack and the two implode the fish and sent him spinning through the room alerting the rest of the sword fishes of their presence.
"Which side do you want?" Poseidon asked twirling his trident with one hand.
"Left."
"Then I'll take right." Percy nodded as slowly a small army of sword fish spread before them. However the monster didn't even have time to speak before Percy and his dad were on them. They both were like waves crashing into the sea. Thier weapons blurred through their enemies craving them into dust.
Poseidon turned to look at his son and smiled, 'he's strong. Stronger than any of his siblings before him was at his age.'
Percy grinned, he was having fun. His life was perfect, just like a video game.
The throne room of the fish king exploded inwards as several swordfish were sent flying threw them before vanishing into golden dust. In the middle of the room was a giant throne who was facing away from the door.
Percy and Poseidon calmly walked out of the opening in the wall, "I totally killed that last one," Percy commented twirling Riptide.
"What are you even saying? It's obvious that that last kill belonged to me, I sent him through the doors!" Poseidon said waving his hands.
"Only because I beat him up for you before hand!"
"Oh so you're saying I couldn't I kicked his ass?!"
"No what I'm saying is-"
"-Welcome adventurers," interrupted a high pitched voice from the throne in the center of the room, "I see that you have come for my head. You must be talented-"
"-Shut up!" Percy yelled at the throne before turning to his dad, "like I was saying, that was totally my kill! You stole it, again!"
Poseidon threw his hands up, "you know what fine! The next big bad we find is all yours!"
"Ahem," said the high pitched voice, "do not interrupt me again. else you will find me very-"
"-Oh shut up!" Percy said sending a wave of shadows at the chair destroying it in a cloud of smoke.
And flying across the air was a pink object screaming in a high pitched voice, "hooooooly shit!" The pink form landed to the side slowly stood up. Percy and his father turned to see a tiny pink shrimp coughing out dust with a giant golden crown on top of it's small head, somehow made to stand up there without falling off.
"A shrimp?" Percy raised an eyebrow, "a fucking shrimp?"
"I am not just any shrimp!" The small pink thing yelled out, "am I the one true shrimp! I very being that will destroy humanity! I am King Charles the bold! 321st in the line of Shrimp kings! Leader to the fish army and conqueror of the seas!"
Percy blinked before turning to his dad, "know this guy?"
Poseidon shook his head, "no idea."
