The Almighty Ring

ey had only over 100,000 combat level.
They hunt in large schools and prey on any kind of life form albeit being weaker.
With sheer numbers, they are able to kill and consume even life forms stronger than them,” 0541 explained after he had gathered all related information from the scope.
Such was the functionality of the scope.
Not only was it able to measure combat level, it also carried information about anything in the universe.

Based on the information gathered, the Devil of the Lake had no auditory, visual, or olfactory sensory organs.
It perceived the environment via powerful psychic energy.
Once locked on, no one could escape its chase unless they left the water entirely.

“So they are like blind piranhas!” cried Jiang Fei as he continued to extend his perception in the water.
Concurrently, the group of trainees were being chased by at least 100,000 Devils of the Lake.

To be honest, when Caylan had first entered the lake with his original teammates, the number of Devils of the Lake were only hovering around 10,000.
Since this was their second entry, the Devils started moving in larger schools.
With an even bigger number of people entering the lake, there was more meat for them!

“Leader, I have a bad feeling about all of this,” said Waxus all of the sudden.

“Got it.
Everyone, watch your six!” Bacca yelled.
If Waxus said something bad was going to happen, Bacca would take every word literally as Alderaanians had a knack for sensing danger.

“Swim faster! Do not stop to attack! There’s no way we can attack all of them!” Caylan roared as he parried a few incoming Devils that were aiming for his neck.
Fortunately, these Devils were too weak to pierce through his armor.
At the moment, he was still safe.

“Get together, everyone! Compact formation!” Bacca ordered and everyone followed his orders.
They quickly swam to each other and made a small formation, reducing size.

…

“Looks like a good time for a swim! What do you think, 0541?” Jiang Fei asked rhetorically.
He then entered the water whilst forming an invisible bubble of psychic energy around him.
Once in, Jiang Fei swam at his own pace.
Almost all of the Devils of the Lake were chasing after the previous team, leaving only a few behind that completely ignored him.

With the powerful psychic barrier released, the little fishes could not sense Jiang Fei’s presence.
All they saw was calm water and a piece of wood floating across it.
Not a single fish tried to attack even when they were literally brushing against him.

…

“Leader! I-I-I don’t think I’m going to make it!” Luna, the bunny girl shrieked in pain.
Due to the difference in power, her armor was the first to go and her leg was bleeding all over from being bitten by the Devils.

“Dammit! Swim to her and center her around us!” Bacca ordered.
The entire team swam around to let Luna position herself at the center of the group.
That way, she would not be attacked.

“Is it just me, or is the island not getting any closer!” Caylan roared, frustrated.
He was tired, scared, and frantic.
His armor integrity was dropping fast and the others were already taking damage from being bitten.
Worst of all, they had no idea how far they even were from the island!

“F*ck! What sort of hell did you drag us into, Caylan?! Think of something!” Bacca was panicking too.

“If I knew this would be smooth sailing, I wouldn’t have asked for your help!” Caylan barked back.
Even though he knew everyone then was strong enough to survive the Devil’s attack, he could not see how they could reach the island without first being rescued by the trial organizers.

“Leader, let us try something…” said Waxus as he dragged his brother, Mingsk, to turn around.
In that state, the two held hands and their eyes glowed radiantly.
All of a sudden, the frontmost school of Devil of the Lakes stopped swimming.
They turned around and started to attack the school of fishes behind!
