The Magic Airship landed in the sea, instantly creating a huge wave. The splashing seawater rained down on Roy like rain.

The pier, built with logs, has been completely washed away by the tide, leaving only wooden stakes stuck in the sand on the beach.

The ocean tide had just crashed against the jungle on the North Coast. Now, as the tide receded, large amounts of seawater, mixed with a lot of broken trees and branches, flowed back from the jungle, forming countless temporary rivers that eventually flowed into the sea.

The Magic Airship bounced violently up and down the moment it hit the sea.

The Magic Airship landed not far from the seawall...

Inside this circular seawall, the remains of the Deep Sea Magic Beast floated on the surface of the sea. The seawall's outlet was only a dozen meters wide, and now it was piled with a large amount of broken wood, with a large amount of seawater flowing into the sea through the gaps between the trees.

On the contrary, the remaining giant skin of the Deep Sea Magic Beast floated on the sea surface and was trapped in the seawall.

Roy pulled a sweet-looking Half-Elf girl from the Ship Building the Magic Airship, and the two jumped down, landing steadily on the seawall beside them...

In fact, without Moira pulling Roy along, Roy wouldn't have been able to jump onto the seawall at all given his current physical condition.

Sabrina followed closely behind and jumped onto the seawall. Compared to Moira's agility, the moment Sabrina, clad in silver armor, landed on the seawall, the rocks beneath her feet cracked in a small, spiderweb-like pattern. This heavily armored Sword Dancer was clearly more power-oriented.

Compared to Sabrina, Woods, transformed into Night Blade Leopard, seemed to have it much easier, easily leaping onto the seawall.

However, there was actually a large cat on the Magic Airship. It suddenly appeared at the bow and growled at Woods with displeasure.

Seeing Roy stride over, Byron.Toll pointed smugly at the magical beast floating in the sea. "These Deep Sea Magic Beast have very few valuable items on them. Apart from a magic core, there are no other valuable materials. Back in the Endless Sea, we killed many of these Deep Sea Giant Octopus. Don't be fooled by its appearance as it floats on the sea like a rag. These kinds of sea beasts are very good at playing dead. They use this method to deceive their natural enemies in the deep sea. And you probably won't believe it, but it can actually understand what we're saying while we're talking here."

"Actually, the meat near its eye sockets is quite delicious. It's very crisp and fresh. Boss Roy, would you like to try some..."

Holding a sharp dagger, he began to walk down the seawall.

The Deep Sea Magic Beast held back by the seawall were like seaweed floating on the surface of the sea, their skins rising and falling with the waves...

Hearing from Byron.Toll that the Deep Sea Magic Beast wasn't completely dead, Roy was reluctant to approach it, since even if all that was left was its skin, it was still quite large.

The body of Lord Commander Latimore floated not far away, but it was headless.

Six arms were broken off in a twisted and contorted manner, and the long snake tail had lost its original luster...

Outside the seawall, some of the surviving Toadfish Cavalry retreated into the sea, while above them, a group of Griffon Cavalry continuously fired Armor-Piercing Arrow.

The fishmen from Sun Island did not participate in the battle this time, and not a single fishman could be found in this sea area.

Roy was actually quite curious to taste what a deep-sea octopus was like, but since Jiezena wanted this Deep Sea Magic Beast, Roy couldn't let Byron.Toll kill it...

"Wait a minute, you... I was wondering if we could hand it over to this siren to deal with?" Roy said tactfully, following behind Byron.Toll.

Byron.Toll stopped and said frankly, "Of course, you're the employer, so it's entirely up to you how to deal with this big guy. But if you're planning to release him, I won't be responsible for handling the aftermath..."

Byron.Toll laid out the unpleasant truth upfront: this was, after all, a large level four magical beast. If it were in the deep sea, even ten Byron.Toll would probably struggle to defeat it. If they let it go, who knew if it would return...

"Of course!"

Roy turned to look at Jiezena, who was swimming across the sea with Miss Tiffany, and agreed.

At this time, the siren Jiezena still appeared very weak, but her mental state was still acceptable.

The two emerged from the sea...

Byron.Toll couldn't help but frown. He had seen many Naga Sea Clan and knew that the Naga mermaids with their three-colored tail fins were nobles among the Naga Sea Clan. The heavily injured sea monster was actually exuding a powerful aura that made Byron.Toll somewhat wary.

Roy pointed to the large object floating on the sea and said to Jiezena:

"Then this guy is entrusted to you. I hope you will keep your promise."

Jiezena swam forward a couple of times from Miss Tiffany. Her face was extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, but it was still very beautiful. Apart from the six arms on her body being somewhat jarring, her almost perfect chest made Roy take a second look...

She nodded to Roy, then turned and swam into the sea.

It didn't swim very far before stopping beside a patch of dark, wrinkled skin. It bent down and spoke Naga Language to the large, dark creature on the sea:

"If you want to continue living, you'll probably need to sign a contract."

The Deep Sea Magic Beast that had been pretending to be dead on the surface of the sea began to stir, its whole body trembling.

To be honest, its luck was just too bad. Of all the Deep Sea Magic Beast in the ocean, it was Latimore who found it and forced it to sign a contract.

Finally... Latimore died, but a new Contract Partner immediately appeared.

Jiezena had already unrolled the contract scroll and was reading its contents aloud in front of it...

As it listened, the Deep Sea Magic Beast realized that something was wrong with the Magic Contract that had been forcibly signed.

The Magic Contract that this Contract Partner presented was not an equal contract.

The contents of the contract revealed it to be Magic Contract with a master-servant relationship. What's even more restrictive is that once the contract is signed, if Jiezena dies, it will die along with Jiezena, which is a bit too harsh.

It immediately conveyed a message of resistance to Jiezena.

But Jiezena was not so gentle this time. She plunged a longsword into the body of the Deep Sea Magic Beast, but it was powerless to resist.

Without asking any further questions, Jiezena spread her hands and drew a Magic Rune Array.

This six-pointed star-shaped Magic Rune Array continued to expand outwards, with countless pale blue lines forming an infinitely large net that completely enveloped the Deep Sea Magic Beast floating on the sea.

At this moment Jiezena's face was frighteningly pale, and blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth and eyes.

The energy net continuously seeped into the Deep Sea Magic Beast's body, and pale blue magical threads divided the Deep Sea Magic Beast's body into pieces...

Just when Jiezena was about to give up, she suddenly sensed that the Deep Sea Magic Beast no longer dared to show any resistance.

Faced with a life-or-death decision, it's like freedom, rights, and dignity!

It's nothing at all...

"I'll take that as your agreement and submission to me."

Despite the waves of dizziness pounding in her head, Jiezena spoke to the Deep Sea Magic Beast.

She unfurled the contract scroll and placed it on the head of the Deep Sea Magic Beast. The power of the contract acted like shackles, with most of the shackles wrapping around the Deep Sea Magic Beast's body, while a small portion wrapped around Jiezena. Soon, under the watchful eyes of a group of elves, Jiezena completed this simple magical ritual.

The sight of a Six-Armed Siren being surrounded by hundreds of Half-Elf elves during a contract ceremony made Jiezena extremely uncomfortable.

After the ceremony, the Deep Sea Magic Beast floating on the sea finally began to resemble its original form.

This doesn't mean its power is rapidly recovering, but rather that it has become weaker due to the influence of the contract's power, as Jiezena's body is on the verge of collapse.

Jiezena left the Deep Sea Magic Beast in the sea and turned to walk up to Miss Tiffany.

Looking at Miss Tiffany's smiling face, Jiezena felt a little awkward. Janna and the Siren had always been enemies.

Now, she has been inexplicably saved by a Naga Sea Clan.

"It's done." Jiezena said to Miss Tiffany, "Thank you... for saving me. If you ever have any trouble in the future, you can come find me in the sea."

Miss Tiffany pulled a vial of Life Potion from her waist, uncorked it, and handed it to Jiezena. She then smiled and said to her, "Here, drink it. It will help you regain some strength."

Jiezena did not refuse. She poured a bottle of Life Potion into her mouth, glanced at Roy, and simply nodded to him.

She can only communicate with Miss Tiffany in Naga Language now, so she hasn't gone to Roy's side.

After the contract ceremony was completed, she no longer needed to say goodbye to the other elves.

So he dragged his weak body into the sea, and as a group of Elf Warrior moved the logs blocking the breach in the seawall, a large amount of black seawater flowed into the ocean through the channel.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiezena led the now completely subjugated Deep Sea Magic Beast back into the sea with the receding tide.

As Jiezena swam into the Coral Reef reef, the Deep Sea Magic Beast quietly followed. At that moment, it resembled a giant Devil Fish, completely blocking out the sunlight shining down from the sea surface.

Some of the Toadfish Cavalry hiding in the Coral Reef emerged from the Coral Reef and swam towards Jiezena at the same time.

Now that Lord Commander Latimore is dead, she is the queen of this bay, and all the Toadfish Cavalry believe that Jiezena is the strongest being in Sun Island Bay.

Jiezena did not drive away the Toadfish Cavalry. She simply led the Deep Sea Magic Beast southward, intending to leave Sun Island Bay and find a new place to live in the waters beyond the bay.

The Griffon Cavalry, soaring through the sky, watched the Sun Island fishmen and Toadfish Cavalry leave Sun Island Bay before returning to their voyages.

Only now did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. The Sun Island fishmen had finally left this bay, and it would become the Fishing Ground for the Half-Elf. Thinking about it now, it really wasn't easy.

Kaka rode his griffin down from the sky, and the group had already returned to the messy beach along the seawall.

Seeing Roy assigning tasks to the Half-Elf Warrior to clean up the battlefield, Kaka went over and whispered to Roy, "... No, Roy, why did you let that siren go? I have a feeling she's a really powerful siren!"

Roy dismissed the Half-Elf captain, then turned to Kaka and said:

"Someone has to clean up the mess over there. Isn't Jiezena the most suitable candidate?"

At this moment, Miss Tiffany, Sabrina, Moira, Woods, and others gathered around. Miss Tiffany, standing next to Roy, added:

"Don't forget there are other sirens on Sun Island."

Woods couldn't help but ask, "Are there any other sirens around here?"

"Of course, this Sea Beast Priest originally had five Siren Captain under his command. Apart from Jiezena, the other Siren Captain were quite loyal to Lord Commander Latimore!" Miss Tiffany explained to everyone.

Kaka couldn't see any sign of the three surviving Siren Captain in the sky, so he couldn't help but ask, "Where are those Siren Captain?"

Miss Tiffany said, "Seeing that Jiezena was still alive, they naturally fled immediately."

Kaka stood on the beach, gazing south, and said to everyone, "Sun Island is now a ruin..."

Roy, however, said nonchalantly:

"Of course, there's a good side to it too. At least now, the entire Sun Island Bay belongs to us."

Byron.Toll slowly walked back from the seawall, and both Magic Airship were now anchored in the area enclosed by the seawall.

He had just dived into the sea to look for the three Fletched Arrow he had shot out, and must have searched for a long time, but unfortunately he couldn't find them.

Seeing Byron.Toll return to the beach, he carried over a box full of Magic Crystal Stone Magic Crystal Stone, the reward he had previously agreed upon with Byron.Toll. Roy placed the box in front of Byron.Toll's feet, straightened up, and then said:

"Thank you for your help. This is the payment you were promised beforehand."

Byron.Toll did not refuse, saying, "Then I'll accept it..." and put the whole box of Magic Crystal Stone into his Magic Pouch.

Roy asked, "Are you leaving the Pattington Plane already?"

Byron.Toll shook his head and said, "I'll probably wander around here. I've noticed there are a lot of Half-Elf around here!"

He asked Roy for a map of the area, then bid Roy farewell Byron.Toll hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help but walk up to Roy and say to him sincerely, "Roy, if you want to go on a training trip in the future, if you have a choice, don't go to the Dark Land."

"..."

Roy didn't understand why Byron.Toll would say that.

Just as he was about to press for more information, Byron Tolle waved him off and walked away into the damp, dense jungle.
