Han Sen recognized the sound as belonging to the peacock they encountered earlier, which had received a nasty sting on its face . It flew far away after that, and they didn't think they'd run into it again so soon .

"Its screams are ones of pain and suffering . Is it because of the poison?" Queen asked, looking in the direction the squeals were coming from .

If it really was due to the poison, it would be the perfect opportunity for humans to take down a super creature . The first in history .

"Let's go find out!" Han Sen's face was vibrant with excitement, and he looked genuinely happy at the prospect . If he could hunt down a super creature with minimal effort, even if he did not receive a beast soul, eating its meat would be good enough .

They looked at each other and understood what they were each thinking . Queen commanded the big whale to start sailing in the direction of the screeching peacock .

The bird screamed so loud, it seemed like it could shatter the atmosphere . The creatures around look terrified, and those that flew in the sky seemed to avoid it at all costs .

They sailed another forty miles before seeing an island on the horizon . It was surprisingly small, not any bigger than a protruding reef .

The peacock was standing on the reef with a rotten face . It was red with infected blisters, and pus and blood oozed from its wounds .

"It must really be the poison still working its wretched magic," Han Sen said, aghast .

He was happy that the peacock was in such a condition, obviously still struggling against the poison that blighted it . But he was concerned over whether or not he could eat the meat, seeing how effective and long-lasting the poison was .

Queen commanded the whale to stop a good distance from the bird . She didn't want to go in blindly . And even though the super creature was in significant pain, it was still a super creature . They may very well not be able to slay it, even still . They weren't entirely sure how ill the peacock was, and they'd probably meet an unfortunate end if they marched in without a clue .

"It can still scream a good deal . It is most likely still quite energized . Perhaps we should wait here for a few days and see how it goes?" Han Sen suggested .

The longer they waited, the weaker the bird would become . If they were going to risk their lives in an attempt to bring down a poisoned super creature, it would be better to do it later rather than sooner .

But right after Han Sen said that, the sea near the reef began spitting waves that were a few dozen meters tall . A giant purple creature with metal pincers came out from beneath the murky waves . Its target was most definitely the peacock .

The giant purple lobster was back . Not having received any benefits from the island earlier, it seemed to want to exact vengeance on the wounded peacock that had bullied it previously .

The peacock was poisoned right in the face, and it looked like the toxins had affected its brain . It didn't seem as smart or reactive as it had before . Already, the lobster managed to clamp down on one of its wings .

It was impossible for the peacock to free itself from the lobster's grip . It flapped its wings the best it could, but could not escape . The more it flailed, the more feathers its wings dropped .

The peacock was infuriated . It opened its feather train to reveal its blue eyespots and doused the area in its intoxicating blue light . Just like before, the lobster was made to appear drunk .

It seemed as if the lobster knew this was coming, though, so it continued to maintain its grip on the peacock's wing . No matter how fiercely the peacock tried to repel its attacker, the lobster would not be loosened .

The lobster's shell was too hard, as well . There was nothing the peacock could do . Eventually its clutched wing began to bleed, and plumes of feathers danced in the air around it, cushioning the harsh sea .

While both of these monsters fought, Queen closed her eyes and turned around to avoid the effects of the blue light .

Although it was a good distance from them, the light was powerful and it spread far . Looking at it for one second could make them feel dizzy, and out at sea, there was the chance Queen could fall overboard and drown .

Han Sen appeared to be doing the same thing, but he activated his gene lock . With his senses, he didn't even have to face their direction to observe everything that was happening .

"The peacock may be an extremely powerful foe, but under the effects of that poisonous sting and the lobster's pummelling, it must assuredly be close to death," Han Sen thought . He then proceeded to wonder how he might benefit from this situation .

The reef began to crack and the waves boiled in the turmoil of combat . The reef was unable to sustain the weight of the monsters and it began to crumble .

The lobster's shell was obscenely sturdy, and the lobster tried to drag the peacock down into the briny depths with its pincers . All the peacock could do was continue to peck at the shell, to no avail .

Although the peacock was resisting, a collapse of the reef meant a guaranteed watery grave for it .

"How come that lobster didn't get poisoned, too?" Han Sen thought to himself .

But seeing what was occurring, it was a good thing they did not rush in to attack as they initially thought to . If they hadn't stayed back, they might have been killed by the lobster's incursion .

Boom!

Three hours later, the reef collapsed and the peacock went down with it .

Although the peacock continued to emit its beams of drowsy light, it wasn't as effective as it was earlier . It did not affect Han Sen and Queen as much .

Queen turned around and looked into the sea . She saw the faint glimmer of blue light and a sea that was made mad with the peacock's wild thrashing . Great waves collided with each other, above where it sunk to its inevitable demise .

"What a horrible creature . It would have been too difficult for us to fight it," Queen said with a sigh .

"It would have been impossible for us to kill it, yes . But now we have a chance . " Han Sen watched the restless waves with greedy eyes .

They may not have been able to kill the poisoned peacock, but it had been attacked by the lobster and dragged deep down into the sea . It was going to die, no matter what . Perhaps this was his opportunity for an easy kill .

But still, Han Sen did not dare try to steal the lobster's prey directly . He lacked the strength and he knew it .

But if he did it quickly, there was a chance he could receive the beast soul .

"What are you doing?" Queen frowned as she looked at Han Sen .

"Wait here, okay?" After speaking, Han Sen quickly dove into the sea .

The silver fox was still on Han Sen's shoulder . It used its paws to grab ahold of his neck, and it dove in with him .

Because the two monsters were still twirling about in the sea, the underwater currents were a little unpredictable . Every now and again, Han Sen would be sent spinning around due to mad fluctuations in the flow . He actually found it difficult to swim right .

It was fortunate he could breathe underwater . Because of this, he did not have to fear drowning . The only issue was the fact he was swimming slower than he would have liked .

The lobster was trying its best to drag the peacock into the deeper recesses of the sea . Although the peacock tried to resist, it was futile . The lobster was getting its way, and deeper and deeper they went .

Han Sen chased both creatures down into the darker waters . He watched what was happening intently, biding his time for the perfect opportunity to strike .

Although the peacock was not accomplished in underwater battle, it still kicked fairly well . It did not look as if it was going to be killed by the lobster anytime soon .
