The Ghost Ship slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Soren activated his special Crest, solidifying his ability to Water Breathing. The Undrowned Undead took up weapons and stood on the deck, surrounded by vengeful Wraith. The Speaker of the Dead slowly approached from the seabed. Naga Warship ahead had already begun to join the battle, and many Naga Warrior jumped into the water and swam towards the warships in front of them. There were quite a few ships in the battle, and besides the Betrayer Chamber of Commerce's warships, it seemed that other pirate forces had also appeared.

--"Call Lightning!"

A muffled rumble of thunder seemed to echo across the sea, followed by the gradual thickening of dark clouds in the sky, plunging the surroundings into darkness in the blink of an eye. Bolts of lightning danced like electric snakes, and even Soren, Stealth beneath the sea, could feel the incredibly Rage and lightning. This was no ordinary Spell, but lightning summoned by the Lord of Storms priest. It was a Spell approaching level nine, covering an area exceeding ten kilometers, almost engulfing an entire sea region.

"Is this the Storm Lord? Or the Storm Priest?"

Soren sensed a faint electric current on the seabed, somewhat like an electrostatic field, but covering a larger area than he had ever seen before, indicating the presence of Legendary or higher-level expert. A torrential downpour soon began, and a terrifying storm seemed to be brewing. The Spellcaster had forcibly altered the surrounding climate, turning this place into the eye of the storm. Giant waves surged on the sea surface, and even the swirling Black Dragon seemed unsteady. Soren, being underwater, was slightly better off, but he could still see the ships on the surface rocking violently.

Storm and lightning!

Crackling lightning bolts rained down, followed by charred corpses falling into the sea. Among them were even Naga Guard struck by lightning and Shark-man riding Tiger Shark. Soren was thankful for his decision. Had he recklessly charged forward, he might have been struck by lightning himself. The situation on the battlefield seemed strange; no one on the Warship that summoned the storm appeared to be attacking the Betrayer Chamber of Commerce.

It seems they reached some kind of agreement; these people, who look like pirates or Storm Priest, are actually helping them defend against the Black Dragon and the others.

"Did the Betrayer Chamber of Commerce promise some benefits?!"

Soren's expression was grim. He ordered the Ghost Ship to approach from near the seabed. In this battle, his own life was his top priority; he didn't want to die inexplicably in such a place. Several figures seemed to flash across the sea. They were Amazon Warrior wielding spears and wearing Leather Armor. They were the core force of the Amazon. These women, empowered by certain storm-like Spell, could be seen running directly across the sea, simultaneously gripping their spears and charging towards their enemies.

"What formidable fighting power!"

Soren closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings, muttering, "There are at least thirty high-level professionals, and more than five Legendary figures!"

"Let them fight first."

Viewing the battle on the surface from the seabed is extremely awkward; even Soren's Darkvision is useless. What he sees is completely distorted. The Black Dragon in the sky seems to have suffered a heavy blow, letting out an angry roar and spewing out a cloud of Dragon Breath. Adult Dragon can have over 500 Hit Points points, so what often appears to be a serious injury is actually just a minor one. The Dragonkind ' Regeneration abilities are not just for show.

--"Wing Buffet!"

Soren's most feared move seemed to have been unleashed by the Black Dragon. A fierce storm erupted on the sea, with towering waves crashing against the shore. The terrifying force capsized three Warship, sending them tumbling headlong into the ocean, many figures falling in. This caused Soren's eyes to light up slightly, as if he had just realized something. He ordered, "Those Undrowned, go up! Sink all those warships!"

Damn it.

If I can't beat you on the water, I'll bring you all down to the bottom.

Soren didn't believe that those professionals could be much stronger than him after falling into the sea, after all, he had the Crest for Water Breathing.

The figure of the Undead began to move.

The Ghost Ship gradually rose a little, with many pirates and guards on the water. The Black Dragon, in its rage, had capsized several warships, sending dozens of enemies crashing into the sea. Soren already had a plan in mind; he immediately Speaker of the Dead to rise, drawing his Scimitar and saying in a deep voice, "Animate Rigging!"

Slurp!

The cables from the Speaker of the Dead shot out. Don't underestimate this Ghost Ship; it's also Quasi-Legendary level Animate Life.

The cables on the Ghost Ship were incredibly long. At Soren's command, they shot out, each cable reaching tens or even hundreds of meters in length, resembling animated tentacles. Under Soren's orders, the Animate Rigging swiftly entangled some enemies who had fallen into the sea nearby, dragging them slowly into the Seawater. Then, five or six pirate sailors were seen being pulled along, bit by bit. Even when someone tried to cut them with swords, they couldn't break the tough, Animate Rigging.

Is this considered headhunting?

Soren was in a surprisingly good mood. He drew his Scimitar and walked over. After the Animate Rigging dragged the enemies over, he directly slashed down those who were entangled. Many of the pirates were close to the third tier of strength, and despite having a professional level of around 10, they were rendered powerless in the Seawater by being Constrict the Animate Rigging. Soren was now picking off heads as if he were reaping kills, quickly taking down more than ten enemies and gaining nearly ten thousand Slaughter Experience.

More and more people are falling into the Seawater.

It seemed the Pirate King near the Soros Islands had also joined the battle. Smallpox battle raged on the water, with thunderous roars, the howling of Black Dragon, spears crackling with lightning, countless high-level Spell, and a considerable number of Elemental Life being summoned. Soren could no longer clearly see the battle raging above, but his business underwater was thriving; he easily dispatched a large number of the pirates who had fallen into the sea.

With Quasi-Legendary Ghost Ship as his backing, he was actually quite relaxed underwater!

The blood gradually spread.

It seemed as if the Seawater trembled again, and this time Soren felt it very clearly because he was in the Seawater. He could be sure that some kind of force was being transmitted and spread out.

Suddenly!

A golden light appeared before Soren's eyes.

No, no, no!

That wasn't golden light; it was gold dust falling from the sky into the Seawater! In the fierce battle on the sea, the others could no longer completely protect the five cargo ships laden with gold and silver. One of them was hit by the blast and exploded, scattering debris and gold and jewels everywhere! One heavy, enormous crate was blown apart, and in the overwhelming gale, over three hundred kilograms of gold dust were swept away. Lightning flashed across the sky, the gold dust gleaming brilliantly, then descended like a shimmering golden curtain, all falling into the sea!

Pieces of golden sand scattered in the Seawater, gleaming with a dazzling yet eerie light amidst various strange glows and the gradually spreading blood.

Damn it!

Damn it!

Damn it!

A string of curses rang out.

The Black Dragon's pupils suddenly turned much redder, and it roared, spewing out another burst of Dragon Breath. That single battle had spilled over half a ton of gold; countless tiny gold dusts and nuggets had fallen into the sea. A turbulent undercurrent swirled within the Seawater, and in the blink of an eye, much of the gold was swept away to who-knows-where, the gold dust sinking into the sea. In the end, it seemed unlikely anyone would be able to obtain it again.

Glug glug!

One after another, more gold and silver treasures fell to the seabed, and suddenly a dazzling golden light appeared in the sunken and cracked cargo ship.

It was a throne weighing over half a ton, cast entirely from gold.

This heavy throne is inlaid with all kinds of jewels, and one glance is enough to tell you how amazing its value is!

It seemed some reckless fool had desperately grabbed onto it, but its immense weight dragged him slowly into the sea. The heavy golden throne momentarily blurred Soren's vision, but he quickly regained his senses and ordered the Ghost Ship to relocate. Sure enough, a huge black shadow suddenly swooped down from the sky; the Black Dragon had abandoned its immediate enemy. It swooped down and grabbed the golden throne with its claws. The half-ton weight seemed manageable to Dragonkind, and it flapped its wings and took flight again.

"It's mine!"

The Black Dragon opened its mouth and let out a deep roar, growling, "Osaxes can give up other treasures, but this treasure must be mine! Osaxes will not leave empty-handed! Hand it over to me, Osaxes will give up the other treasures!..."

It looks like it's injured too.

Otherwise, given the Black Dragon's greed, it wouldn't be satisfied with just one piece of treasure, because its presence clearly slowed the others' attacks. It seems someone hoped it would leave after taking the treasure.

After all, this is just one of the ships!

In the very center of the battle, there were four such cargo ships, each loaded with tons of gold and silver jewels!

The spilled gold sands have already aroused envy in many. If the fighting continues without restraint, countless treasures will likely sink into the sea. Larger items might be less of a concern, but the rest will be swept away by the Seawater. Gold and silver jewelry, utensils, gold sculptures, and precious Emerald —the entire tribe, from its Boss and nobles to Commoner merchants, has been wiped out by the Betrayer Chamber of Commerce. This astonishing wealth is only the tip of the iceberg!

It seems that Black Dragon really only intends to take this one item!

But reality cruelly dragged it into the sea. Suddenly, a giant tentacle emerged from the dark seabed, wrapped around the Black Dragon's body, and dragged it directly into the depths of the ocean.

"They're all... all... mine..."

A strange, muffled sound rang out, interspersed with a few Abyssal. Very few people present could recognize these syllables; even Soren only found the pronunciation somewhat odd. The enormous tentacles possessed unbelievable, terrifying power. Even a fully grown Black Dragon could not break free from their grasp, and the golden throne was dragged into the Seawater along with it, sinking rapidly.

The battlefield was deathly silent!

This power seemed to shock many, even the Legendary figures present temporarily halted their attacks.

Tentacles with suckers suddenly emerged from the darkest part of the seabed, and a gigantic black shadow could be vaguely seen appearing near the battlefield.

That was an incredibly terrifying pressure!

Even the powerful professionals present, who were capable of withstanding the Dragon Fear's might, felt immense fear under this oppressive force.

Soren seemed to have realized something.

His face was slightly pale, and he forced a bitter smile, muttering, "What Raven! What I said came true! This monster really has appeared!..."

"Ghost Ship, turn around! Turn around now!... Get out of here! Get out of here quickly!..."

A terrifying black shadow appeared.

They approached from the deepest part of the ocean, hundreds of tentacles enveloping the battlefield.
