The flagship’s steel wolf-like bow suddenly erupted with a thunderous roar.

"Damn it, how did the advance team explore? It feels like we’re ambushed."

A Dwarf, facing the current situation, was extremely angry and fiercely slapped the wooden stake in front of him.

Initially, they had not prepared for what was supposed to be a sea battle; for this expedition, they were fully equipped. Long before the main force set out, the advance team had already headed towards the continent.

They’re still in real-time communication now.

The advance team encountered no obstacles at sea. Although there were occasional sea beasts, they were mostly small ones, which is quite normal on the seas.

No one paid it any mind, after all, it’s just a necessary encounter.

But this time was beyond imagination.

"Don’t panic, our ship is not just for show." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

As the core of the entire expedition team, Lurik remained extremely calm.

The flagship began to operate quickly.

Compared to the transport ships, the flagship was definitely a comprehensive vessel, and the latest model at that.

"Magic Power Cannons ready!"

The massive, thickly armored Magic Power Cannon muzzles on both sides of the ship suddenly lit up with dazzling azure blue light!

Buzz—Zzzla!

The air was torn apart by highly compressed condensed Magic Energy, emitting a spine-chilling screech.

The sky dimmed.

All light seemed to be absorbed by the attack fired by the Magic Power Cannon.

Dozens of bowl-thick, solidified blue-white energy beams, like Long Spears cast by the Celestial Gods, were fired with precision and ferocity towards the terrifying Giant Beast that had just emerged from the sea, swinging down limbs like siege hammers.

The world became silent in an instant.

Boom! Boom boom boom!

The energy beams struck the side belly of the beast, covered in resilient slippery scales.

Bursting flashes mixed with massive shock waves caused by the sea beast’s blood and flesh instantly vaporized by high temperature.

Scorched, stinking air quickly spread.

"Roar——!!!"

A soul-shaking, sharp roar erupted from the beast’s twisted mouth, filled with intense pain and increasingly violent anger.

Its massive limb, pounding downwards, was knocked off course due to the sudden fierce bombardment, landing on the sea surface less than fifty meters ahead of the targeted exploration ship.

Kaboom!!!

Like a deep sea bomb exploding, towering waves soared into the sky, like a gigantic, pale water wall, fiercely slamming into the hull of the exploration ship.

The giant ship was like a Giant being whipped hard, shaking violently from side to side, throwing objects and people on the deck flying, with alarms blaring even more wretchedly.

"Hit, but the effect isn’t ideal!"

At the flagship’s gun position, the Dwarf gunner Grom wiped his scalded mustache from the scorching steam, shouting hoarse.

His eyes were filled with urgency and worry.

"Damn it! Energy dissipation is abnormal! The magic here in this ghost sea... is too chaotic! Like boiling foul water! Power reduced by at least twenty percent!"

Just as he said.

The concentrated attack, originally enough to pierce through the defense of the Legendary Giant Beast and open a huge molten pit on its target, although causing many charred wounds and evaporating flesh, failed to be lethal this time.

More troubling was that the chaotic, violent Magic environment of the surrounding sea caused significant scattering and attenuation of the cannon energy beams during the shooting process, with part of the energy been prematurely triggered by the murky sea water mixed with deep-sea metal elements.

Such an environment is tantamount to using magic power weapons in the Abyss, though not as exaggerated, essentially the same idea.

Tariel Continent has absorbed too much Power spread by Evil Rats and Evil Gods.

In the current weakened and injured world, these malicious chaotic powers gather and spread.

Plus the rather poor original state of the Tariel Continent, it has led to the current situation.

And pain and frenzy, entirely activated this deathly still nightmare sea area for millennia!

Woosh! Woosh!

The sea surface was violently torn open one after another.

More terrifying shadows emerged from the boiling dark green sea water.

These sea beasts turned out to be more than one.

Unsure whether they were ambushed or their target was too large, attracting so many deep sea giant beasts.

The chaotic environment combined with the malicious powers that previously spread into the world, transformed these sea beasts into oceanic disasters.

They’re varied in shape, some like scaled up millions of times, full of eyes and twisted suction cup tentacles deep sea giant octopus.

Some were covered in eerie armored plates, with heads like giant hammerhead descendants of ancient Plesiosaurs.

Others had long snake-like bodies, full of sharp bone fins and barbed spines.

The scale armor, shell, and tentacles of these sea beasts shimmered with an eerie ominous dark light, some parts still flickering with unstable Chaos energy spots.

Their eyes were mostly muddy or flickering with frantic red light, with highly clear goals—to shred the iron clumps and the flesh within daring to intrude their territory.

The Chaos Magic Power brought by the death of the Evil Gods did not disappear; instead, it rooted and mutated within the living beings around Tariel, pushing them towards more twisted and pure killing instincts.

Garbage always needs a place to pile, dealing with garbage always requires time and effort.

In such a fantastical world, no exception.

"Starboard! Octopus monster! The tentacles are climbing up!" "Port! Hammerhead dragon! It’s ramming the ship!"

Sharp alarms and Night Watcher Warriors’ reports mixed together, the battlefield instantly became extremely chaotic.

Gigantic tentacles, like giant pythons, twined around the sidelined exploration ship that narrowly escaped with its life, terrifying suction cups firmly adhered to the edge of the deck, their immense power made the armor plates moan.
