Asroder revealed a playful smile, and said in a deep voice, "How could I disobey the Naga Priestess's orders? I am now preparing to head to Demon Island! To seize the King of the Swamp's lair in one fell swoop!"

"There's a lot of wealth inside! This wealth can further strengthen our power!"

"Isn't this also weakening the enemy's strength?"

"Don't worry. They have the Ghost Ship as their backing and the Shark-man to help them, so they shouldn't be defeated so quickly! We'll come back to help them after we take Demon Island!"

Asroder revealed a cruel smile.

Having foreseen the death of the Throat Cutter, he had long harbored resentment towards this rising star and could not tolerate such a person standing shoulder to shoulder with him. Now that the King of the Swamp had mobilized all his forces, Demon Island was undoubtedly undefended. Once he conquered Demon Island and seized its riches, he could turn his attention to the severely weakened King of the Swamp. He was no match for the King of the Swamp in a direct confrontation, but he was quite confident in dealing with the King of the Swamp in his weakened state.

After all, there's a Quasi-Legendary Ghost Ship there; even the King of the Swamp wouldn't be able to take it down so easily!

At that time.

He not only acquired the wealth of Demon Island but also killed the King of the Swamp.

He made enormous contributions to the entire Church of the Sea. At that time, the Naga Priestess dared not punish him at all; on the contrary, they had to swallow their bitterness and praise his achievements.

Asroder squinted at the distance and muttered, "It's time to teach that idiot Priest a lesson! Otherwise, she'll become increasingly disrespectful to me."

A chaotic Slaughter.

In a naval battle of this scale, there are hardly any tactics to speak of, especially when it is close to night.

The appearance of the Shark-man greatly reduced the pressure on Soren, but a group of sharks and Shark-man alone were not enough to defeat the King of the Swamp's minions. Soren's face was extremely gloomy, because he was certain he had been tricked. He just didn't know if this was the arrangement of the Naga Priestess or if another Pirate King wanted to take this opportunity to kill him at the hands of the King of the Swamp. It was unlikely that everything was arranged by the Naga Priestess, after all, the Ghost Ship and the Shark-man had appeared. It was more likely that the Pirate King did not want to see him rise to power.

Anyway!

This matter is not going to end so easily; Soren's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Go ahead!"

Soren ordered the Ghost Ship to proceed at full speed, drawing two Scimitar as he said in a deep voice, "Vivian! Prepare for battle! Protect yourselves! We must take down the King of the Swamp!"

A cruel smile flickered in the little girl's eyes, but it was hidden by the night. In her clear, childlike voice, she said, "Brother! Let's kill all these nasty guys!"

"Haste!"

--"Greater Magic Weapon!"

--"Draconic Might!"

A series of Spell Aura appeared. Some were applied to Vivian, while others were applied to Soren.

The little girl cast Spell incredibly fast, almost instantly imbuing a series of Spell effects with them. The knowledge that Goria had taught her began to take effect, and she simultaneously granted Soren multiple Spell abilities.

The two figures took flight.

A series of documents flashed before Soren's eyes!

"Blessed by the Haste boost!... Your movement speed is increased!... Your attack speed is increased!..."

"Blessed by Greater Magic Weapon!... Your Scimitar gains +1 Spell ability and is enchanted!... The weapon deals additional energy damage!..."

"Blessed by Draconic Might!... You gain an additional 5 points to Strength, 5 points to Constitution, and 5 points to Charisma!... Your base defense receives a 4-point bonus from Dragon Hide!... You are immune to all sleep and Paralysis effects!..."

This is the power of a high-level Spellcaster!

Vivian clearly knew that simply using Spell to eliminate these enemies wouldn't suffice, as their numbers were considerable, and even using up all her Spell Slot wouldn't kill many. The real damage in combat came from Melee Class. The stronger the enemy, the less the Spellcaster's role was in dealing damage, unless she was confident she could finish them off with Instant Death Spell, such as ' Finger of Death ' or ' Wail of the Banshee '.

Soren's fighting power is absolutely off the charts right now!

Vivian's ' Draconic Might ' spell directly provided him with a 15-point attribute bonus, and with the Haste combined with the high-level Magic Weapon, Soren's combat power almost instantly reached the Change Shape of Slayer. If he were to Change Shape Slayer under these circumstances, he would be very confident in defeating even Legendary or higher-level enemies.

--"The Destruction Demon Sword!"

The little girl's next Spell made Soren's eyelids twitch. He saw her reach out into the Void, and a crack appeared in the space before her, as if it had been cut. She raised her small, white hand and drew a black, sharp sword. It wasn't a physical weapon, but a distorted, cut in space. Vivian lightly swung it, seemingly unaccustomed to it. She couldn't help but pout and say, "I still don't really like using swords!"

"Elder brother."

"They've studied combat techniques, you know!"

A dark, gleaming light flashed by.

Vivian instantly slashed at a nearby Lizardfolk, turning his weapon into dust, then his armor, and finally his entire body into dust.

It was as if the enemy had been hit by a ' Disintegrate ', and their entire body was completely disintegrated!

"Is this Epic Spell?"

Soren swallowed hard, then his figure flashed out, wielding his twin swords in a flash of cold light to block the incoming arrows. Vivian's sword strike seemed to have attracted the attention of many enemies, and many distant enemies targeted her.

Clang!

Soren miraculously deflected nearly 80% of the arrows with his sword; he was now fast enough to block long-range attacks with his blade.

Some of the attacks landed on Soren but were blocked by Stoneskin. Others struck Vivian, but fell away as soon as they came within a foot of her, as she cast an invisible Energy Protection Field around herself. As if angered by the enemy's attacks, Vivian raised her white fingers and, without chanting a spell, unleashed a series of Spell.

"Fireball!"

"Fire Bolt!"

--"Melf's Acid Arrow!"

--"Magic Missile!"

--"Web!"

--"The Grease!"

A dazzling array of Spell erupted, turning one warship into a sea of fire. The little girl had unleashed over ten Spell in one go, instantly annihilating a large number of enemies. If the Grease hadn't summoned a special, non-flammable substance, a single Grease combined with a Fireball would likely have set the warship ablaze. [ps: It's said that the Grease can be used in conjunction with the Enlarge Person for lubrication. The one capable of burning is Tier 2 variant Spell.]

The Spellcaster's power was on full display at this moment!

While Soren was still hacking away at his enemies, Vivian had already sunk a pirate ship with a barrage of Spell.

"Oops!"

The little girl withdrew her pale fingers, pouted, picked up the Destruction Demon Sword again, and muttered, "The low-level Spell Slot are all used up so quickly!... I was just getting started!..."

A radiant light appeared, dispelling the Spell; it seemed there was Spellcaster among the enemies.

The little girl frowned, glanced at it briefly, and then threw an area-of-effect Spell at it.

--"Cloudkill!"

A strange cloud of smoke appeared, and all creatures within its range felt a suffocating sensation. Instantly, some died because they couldn't withstand the lethal effect of the Spell's poisonous mist. Some powerful enemies reacted quickly, rushing out of the Cloudkill's range and jumping into the sea. The one who started the spell died in the sea before he could continue casting it.

He doesn't seem to be in good Constitution!

Within the range of the Cloudkill, he couldn't even concentrate on casting the spell; he was trapped and died inside.

Constitution is a very important attribute for any profession.

Rumble!

A muffled thud was heard, and then a huge Dragon-headed Warship appeared, its exterior covered with heavy iron sheets, seemingly not a simple Alchemy Craft. On this enormous and bizarre Dragon-headed Warship stood a Giant four or five meters tall, holding an incredibly heavy anchor in one hand, staring at Soren with eyes full of crazed killing intent.

King of the Swamp!

A hybrid monster of Lizardfolk and Bog Giant.
