Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 1922

However, releasing the beast would require connecting the cable, or it would continue to rain heavily in Aidementon and even lead to a flood.

Wilbur glanced at the cable that had fallen into the mud. He looked up at the beast, only to see that the beast was looking at him as well.

From the size of the ocean beast, it was obvious that it usually fed on larger marine animals such as whales or sharks. Human beings seemed impossibly tiny in comparison, but the beast was looking straight at Wilbur right then, sending a chill down his spine.

After all, no one would enjoy being stared at by such a huge creature. Wilbur did not know how to express to the beast that he was trying to help it and could only swim once again to where the cable was to pull it up.

Wilbur originally planned to stay away from the beast and approach after bringing the cable up to a suitable height. However, the space he had to maneuver the cable around was not much to work with, so he could not go further than ten meters away from the cage while swimming upward with the cable.

Soon enough, Wilbur had risen around fifty meters, then sixty, and so on. Just as he was about to reach eighty meters, the ocean beast spat out a vortex once again. Wilbur tried to move around, but he was still unable to avoid the beast's attack.

The cable fell back into the mud, and Wilbur tried again after a short rest. After failing a total of five times, he finally came up with a different plan.

He just had to use his Earth-type defense skills to create a huge earthen wall that would block the beast's line of sight, and he would be able to restore the cable. Wilbur did not hesitate and chanted along to cast a huge earthen wall around a hundred meters tall.

Wilbur could still free himself when the vortex was blowing outward, but the change of direction and his closer proximity to the beast caused the water pressure working on him to grow stronger.

He was going to be sucked into the beast's stomach if this went on. Wilbur's body surged with spiritual energy then, forming a fist with his right hand as black miasma swirled around it and struck the water below him.

Boom!

A powerful reverse current shot Wilbur backward, and he was able to get out of the tornado. The beast had also noticed Wilbur then, turning its head and blowing the vortex in his direction.
