The waters near Sun Island were murky, filled with seaweed and dead fish, and the murky waters continued to spread outwards.

Not far from Sun Island, a massive, dark cloud-like object was steadily approaching the North Coast.

Even though the Magic Airship was very far from the shadow, the elves on board immediately recognized it as a colossal Deep Sea Magic Beast. Only the deep sea could give birth to such a massive body, and only a monster could emerge from the deep sea without exploding...

Byron.Toll walked to the bow of the ship and was startled when he saw such a huge Deep Sea Magic Beast.

As a Second Rank powerhouse, he wasn't unfamiliar with Sea Beast Priest, but such a massive Deep Sea Magic Beast was truly rare. He began to speculate wildly: just how powerful must the Sea Beast Priest be to command such a colossal Deep Sea Magic Beast...

However, Byron.Toll remembered Roy telling him that the Sea Beast Priest couldn't leave Sun Island freely due to health reasons.

But now this Sea Beast Priest was clearly riding Deep Sea Magic Beast, which made Byron.Toll look at Roy with suspicion...

Almost all the information about the Sea Beast Priest was provided to Roy by Miss Tiffany. Now Roy has also discovered this problem: a sea monster priest is standing on the head of the Deep Sea Magic Beast.

This Deep Sea Magic Beast is currently slowly moving towards the newly built dock on the North Coast...

Roy's heart sank. Without hesitation, he immediately gave the order to the Half-Elf captain at the Steering Wheel: "Turn the helm immediately and proceed at full speed toward the port..."

"Yes, Boss Roy."

The Half-Elf captain immediately agreed and then issued some instructions.

In a short while, the Magic Airship turned around in the sky, and with both Propulsion Device running at full power, it flew towards the Magic Airship on the North Coast.

At this moment, all the knights of the Griffon Cavalry Regiment had gathered in the air. Led by Commander Tiprado, these fully armed Griffon Cavalry flew to a height of more than 500 meters above the head of the Deep Sea Magic Beast.

The Deep Sea Magic Beast attempted to extend its tentacles from the sea. The enormous tentacles burst out of the water, splashing waves tens of meters high. The tentacle, brimming with power, emerged from the surface without warning, but unfortunately, it could only go a little over a hundred meters before retracting due to exhaustion.

The Griffon Cavalry soaring high in the sky were not threatened by this Deep Sea Magic Beast at all. However, the Griffon Cavalry did not dare to lower their flight altitude rashly, for fear that this Deep Sea Magic Beast might use magic and shoot a water arrow that could kill the griffin.

However, the Armor-Piercing Arrow fired by the Griffon Cavalry from high above could not harm the Deep Sea Magic Beast in the slightest.

"What's going on? Wasn't it said that this Sea Beast Priest was trapped on Sun Island?" Byron.Toll approached Roy and asked him in a low voice.

"I need to find out what's going on first..." Roy replied in a low voice, then called out to Kaka on the Magic Airship, "Kaka, take me to the port! Magic Airship, full speed ahead! Our destination is that port over there!"

He then strode quickly to the Lookout Platform, where two griffins were perched on the roof.

Kaka approached the griffin, mounted it, and waited patiently at the edge of the Ship Building.

As soon as Roy jumped onto the griffin, the griffin pushed off with its legs, its huge body suddenly sank, and then, while frantically flapping its wings, it carried Roy and Kaka quickly toward the port dock.

Lord Commander Latimore stood atop the Deep Sea Magic Beast's head, but he was not in good condition at the moment.

The body had already begun to show signs of rigor mortis. Although he didn't care much, if he couldn't find Jiezena immediately, his body would probably rot away in less than a day and a night.

From afar, a Magic Airship could be seen breaking through the clouds and flying rapidly toward them. Latimore gasped.

His worst fears came true: magical technology products made by dwarves appeared in the Half-Elf Army.

If it weren't for Lord Commander Latimore's insistence on chasing Jiezena, that Deep Sea Magic Beast would have already... dived back into the deep sea.

But the current Lord Commander Latimore, has gone a bit mad.

After Sun Island was reduced to ruins, he had no way out.

He could only continue charging north; if he couldn't capture Jiezena this time, he feared he wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer...

Although the Deep Sea Magic Beast was also somewhat unwilling, it still advanced northward according to Lord Commander Latimore's orders.

The griffin flew swiftly through the sky, and Roy and Kaka quickly arrived at the newly built seawall. The Half-Elf Warrior guarding the area bowed to Roy upon seeing him...

Roy had no time to pay attention to these Half-Elf Warrior. He waved his hand casually and asked the company commander about Miss Tiffany.

The Half-Elf captain didn't know Miss Tiffany's whereabouts, and the Half-Elf on this side of the seawall hadn't seen Miss Tiffany for several days either.

On the seawall, the Deep Sea Magic Beast on the distant surface of the ocean were not yet clearly visible, so the Half-Elf Warrior here did not feel any panic...

Roy asked around on the seawall, and the Half-Elf Warrior all said that they hadn't seen Miss Tiffany in the past few days.

The Magic Airship in the sky was rapidly approaching the dock. Roy had Kaka fly him to the Three-Masted Sailboat moored at the dock. After arriving at the Three-Masted Sailboat, Roy ordered the Half-Elf crew on the ship to prepare for departure.

This time, the second Magic Airship brought back all the Floating Device and Propulsion Device. Once these Floating Device are reinstalled on the ship, the Magic Airship will be able to fly again.

The support frames for the twelve Floating Device were located on both sides of the ship's hull, and these support frames were never moved when Roy dismantled the Floating Device...

Once the Floating Device is removed from the Magic Airship and reinstalled on these support frames, the first Magic Airship can take to the skies again.

Roy stood on the Three-Masted Sailboat, directing the Half-Elf crew to quickly prepare for the installation...

Kaka rode his griffin around the beach but couldn't find Miss Tiffany anywhere.

Roy didn't know that Miss Tiffany had once again risked infiltrating Sun Island Bay until Captain Timothy of the Assassin Battle Group, came looking for her.

"It's possible that Miss Tiffany caused this unexpected situation on Sun Island," Captain Timothy remarked casually from the side.

"Pass down the order to have the Half-Elf Warrior here prepare for battle."

A Half-Elf stood at the very front of the seawall, holding a horn-shaped horn in his hand. He blew the horn forcefully, and the deep sound echoed throughout every corner of the harbor, instantly putting the entire harbor on high alert...

Soon, Byron.Toll, Second Rank powerhouse, was also brought to the seawall by the Griffon Cavalry. Standing next to Roy, he asked, "Are you planning to make this the main battlefield?"

"Yes, it would be best to lure that big guy inside the seawall..."

Roy smiled and answered softly.

"You haven't answered the question yet. I won't make a move before I've ascertained the true strength of my opponent..." Byron.Toll whispered to Roy.

"Boss Roy, I see... Miss Tiffany!" A Griffon Cavalry descended from the sky, pointing to the sea not far away.

Roy quickly looked in the direction the Griffon Cavalry was pointing...

A straight line appeared on the turbulent sea. Although he couldn't see the face clearly, Roy recognized Miss Tiffany from her beautiful Tricolor Tail Fin. Her tail was rapidly slapping the waves, and Miss Tiffany was swimming very fast. She even saw Roy on the seawall, stretching out her smooth, rounded arm from the sea and waving vigorously towards the dock.

Just then, another figure appeared beside Miss Tiffany, who seemed to have swum to exhaustion in the sea.

Once she placed one hand on the sea rock next to the seawall, she refused to move any further.

Her body was still in the form of a mermaid, and her three-colored fish tail was dazzling in the seawater.

Roy was relieved to see Miss Tiffany, but was startled when he saw the seven-meter-long siren beside her. Although the siren didn't seem to be making any noise, Roy still went over and, stepping on the rocks on the seawall, pulled Miss Tiffany out of the sea.

Once out of the seawater, Miss Tiffany's beautiful tricolor fishtail quickly transformed into a long Sharkscale Dress, making her look dignified and elegant.

Roy checked Miss Tiffany's wounds and saw that she had treated them well, so he didn't plan to re-bandage them...

"Did you cause the chaos on Sun Island? What exactly happened there?" Roy poured a bottle of Mana Potion into Miss Tiffany's mouth, hoping to help her recover quickly...

Miss Tiffany looked up and saw Roy, and said with a smile, "Roy, you've come back just in time. There was an internal strife on Sun Island. The Sea Beast Priest and the other sea beast captains set a trap to capture her, but she managed to escape and I rescued her!"

Miss Tiffany spoke these words with particular ease.

"That way, we won't need to make wild guesses about some things," Miss Tiffany added. "Roy, it's up to you now. He's quite badly injured. Can you revive him?"

"I'll give it a try!"

Roy crouched down beside Jiezena and saw the siren's messy wounds and several broken bones.

"Wounded like this... did you dig her out of the pile of rocks?" Roy asked in a low voice. While examining the wound, he realized that the siren's physical condition was much better than that of the Naga Sea Clan warriors.

"At the time, the Sea Beast Priest's contracted sea beast was chasing her, and since I was confident I could escape, I tried to rescue her..."

Miss Tiffany lay listlessly on the seawall.

Roy's Holy Light Art landed on Jiezena, and then a pillar of light with a strong holy aura enveloped Jiezena. The intense holy light caused Jiezena's wounds to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Roy, your Holy Light Art has become much stronger. Hmm, your aura has also become much stronger. Have you advanced?" Miss Tiffany keenly noticed the changes in Roy.

"Back home in Castleton City, I didn't even understand what happened; I just broke through without really knowing what was going on!"

As Roy spoke, he conjured a ball of holy light and carefully healed Jiezena's wounds.

Seeing that her snake tail was also covered in wounds and many scales had fallen off, Roy cast another Holy Light Art.

Jiezena felt as if she were surrounded by an incredibly warm seawater. She was weak and powerless, and tried to struggle to wake up, but her eyelids were too heavy and she couldn't open her eyes no matter what she did.

Suddenly, a soft voice called in my ear, "Wake up, wake up quickly..."

Jiezena shivered, then suddenly opened her eyes and saw that she was surrounded by a group of Elf Warrior, and the beautiful mermaid lady from the Naga Sea Clan was among them, constantly pouring seawater onto her face.

The icy seawater finally brought him to his senses a little more, but then a wave of excruciating pain surged through her body, and a look of agony appeared on her face.

"How are you feeling?"

A gentle voice reached Jiezena's ear.

She looked at the mermaid who had successfully rescued her from the tentacles of the Deep Sea Magic Beast and said with difficulty, "She shouldn't die for now..."

"I didn't want to bother you at this time. You're so badly injured, you need more time to rest. But the Sea Beast Priest from Sun Island has caught up with us, and we need to find a way to deal with it!" Miss Tiffany said to Jiezena.

Jiezena opened her eyes wide and said to Miss Tiffany with a half-smile, "What do you think I'm going to tell you?"

"I'm open to sharing anything, as long as it's useful," Miss Tiffany replied. "You don't really think that person would let you off the hook if they caught up from behind, do you?"

Jiezena's beautiful face instantly turned ugly. She hesitated for a long time before saying, "Lord Commander Latimore was once a Second Rank peak Sea Beast Priest. His contracted magical beast was a Deep Sea Centipede Octopus. However, more than 20 years ago, his lifespan had come to an end. In those years, he learned some necromancy, including a 'Spirit Gathering Art ' that could resurrect the dead."

"When he was casting the spell on himself, it failed. In order to prolong his life, he froze himself in ice. Later, he discovered a Cold Pond cave on Sun Island, so he asked us to move him into the cave. He immersed his body in the Cold Pond, thus entering a special state of being half-siren and half-undead..."

"Lord Commander Latimore recently found a way to resurrect himself and tried to take over my body with necromancy, but I escaped."

"Right now, he's possessed the body of a Siren Captain. This kind of necromancy greatly limits the power he can have depending on the strength of the possessed body..."

"So his current power isn't very strong. But you should be careful of that Deep Sea Magic Beast. I hope the information I've provided will be of some help to you."
