The purple arc of light still lingered in the air.

The next moment, the Red Dragon Duchess's body danced like snowflakes in the sky, turning into pure energy and dissipating into the air.

"Not good!"

The scene before him made Soren frown, and the Fallen Witch behind him also changed her expression drastically, raising her hand to throw out a Ninth-Circle Spell.

--"Soul Bind!"

An invisible energy barrier contracted, accompanied by eerie whispers. This Spell had to be chanted with Blasphemy, as it could imprison the soul of any enemy. Unfortunately, by the time the Fallen Witch finished casting the spell, the Red Dragon Duchess's body had already dissipated into energy, leaving only two or three pieces of equipment to fall from mid-air. Vivian was nearby, caught them with lightning speed and landed directly in front of Soren.

"It's Life Hide!"

The Fallen Witch landed on the Ghost Ship, the Speaker of the Dead, with a complex expression, and said in a deep voice, "I never imagined a Sorcerer could master such a Epic Spell. It seems we greatly underestimated her!"

Epic Spell.

The spell that just worked on the Red Dragon Duchess was a top-tier Spell comparable to ' Time Stop '.

"Life Hide [Epic Spell]: Legendary Spellcaster can isolate their Hit Points to a specific location within their body, then extract and store it in a safe place. This makes them immune to any conventional means of death and grants immunity to most paralysis, near-death, and death effects. If the caster is destroyed by an enemy, a portion of the stored Hit Points can be used to resurrect the caster through Clone."

[Note: The Life Hide can transform the body into a semi-energy form, granting immunity to most negative status effects.]

"Clone [Level 8 Spell]: Creates a lifeless copy of your body. Upon death, your soul will immediately transfer to the cloned body along with your Soul Mark and be resurrected. The cloned body needs to be nurtured in Laboratory for several months. After resurrection, your level will decrease by 1. There is a certain chance of failure when performing Clone, and it requires a large amount of materials to nurture."

[Note: Clone requires a large Alchemy Laboratory.]

Legendary Wizard are the most difficult to kill.

One reason is the Epic Spell ' Life Hide ', which can isolate the Hit Points of Legendary Spellcaster in a specific location and then store it in a safe place. This is somewhat similar to the Lich's Phylactery, but as a flesh-and-blood Epic Spell, Life Hide requires even higher standards.

This Epic Spell requires an enormous amount of wealth to cast, and may also require a certain amount of Soul Energy.

However, its effects are also quite amazing!

That's an extra Hit Points. Not to mention the Fallen Witch beside him, even Soren probably didn't expect a Legendary Dragonblooded Sorcerer to master this Spell. You have to know that Sorcerer ' Spell rely more on comprehension. This Spell is extremely difficult to master and requires a very high level of Alchemy skill. Many Legendary Wizard may not even have mastered this Spell.

Legendary mages are high above.

To a large extent, it is because of the existence of this Spell that they have an extra Hit Points. This makes them much more at ease than other Legendary Professional. And this is only because the Arcane Empire has been Destruction. Otherwise, according to the records of Wizard, Arcanist also possess an advanced version of the ' Life Hide,' which is to directly recreate a body after death using the part that stores Hit Points, without needing to cooperate with Clone.

In that situation, the only way to kill Legendary Arcanist is to Destruction them at the soul level.

Pirate King Asroder was killed by Soren.

The Red Dragon Duchess was pierced through the body by Magical Energy Crystal Pulse Cannon and then dissipated into the air. The enemies who were engaged in the Strangulate were stunned. The fastest to react were the Eastern Pirate, who, without much thought, immediately turned their ships around to flee the battlefield. The second to react were the navy of the Duchy of Rosado. Despite having gained the upper hand on the flank, they decisively withdrew from the battlefield under their commander's orders. Finally, there were the men of Pirate King Asroder, who were almost completely bewildered and tried to escape in a chaotic scramble, some even planning to flee to the Sand Fury Island behind them.

"We've won!"

Soren glanced at the scattered enemy, then reached out to stop Vivian, who was about to give chase, and said in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate the enemy and rush in rashly. There are still Dragonblooded Sorcerer nearby."

A duchy's power is not that weak.

If we hadn't caught the Red Dragon Duchess off guard, we probably would have had to rely on Goria to open Portal and come to our aid.

There is a Teleportation Circle in the captain's cabin of the Speaker of the Dead.

The Teleportation Circle array connects to Laboratory on Overseas Islands, allowing Goria to reach the Ghost Ship at any time. This is why Soren is so fearless.

Cheers erupted!

The routed enemy emboldened Soren's men, and many pirates raised their weapons, letting out cheers of victory.

but.

Their cheers abruptly stopped the next moment!

Because a giant wave appeared in the distance, a wave as high as a ten-story building. This towering wave, like a blue curtain of the sky, approached the battlefield, engulfing everyone within it. Under the terrifying wave, no Warship could survive; they would be easily tossed about and smashed like paper, eventually sinking to the bottom of the sea.

--"Tsunami [Epic Spell]!"

The colossal wave surged forward like a City Wall, making all the Warship appear minuscule in comparison.

The cheers turned into gasps of surprise.

On the battlefield, all the pirates, friend and foe alike, scurried about like headless flies, all within the range of the Epic Spell ' Tsunami '. The fastest Eastern Pirate had already brought their Warship close to the Tsunami's range. Under the towering waves, more than ten stories high, their Warship were overturned like toys, not even making a splash before being smashed and sunk into the sea. The sailors on board had virtually no chance of survival.

"Damn Naga Priestess!!!"

Soren's face was extremely grim. He seemed to be filled with a ferocious rage, roaring, "Didn't she say the Naga Royal Family wouldn't intervene?"

Tsunami.

The signature Spell of the Naga Sea Folk.

Aside from the priests of the Goddess of the Sea, Soren couldn't think of anyone else in the entire South Coast region who could cast this terrifying Epic Spell.

This Spell has the power to destroy a port city.

Perhaps it wouldn't pose a threat to a powerful figure like Soren, after all, he has many ways to survive a tsunami. However, his men, his fleet, the defeated enemy, and the spoils of war would almost certainly not survive such a terrifying tsunami. If the full power of this Tsunami were unleashed, even the Sand Fury Island behind it would likely be submerged. The waves, more than ten stories high, would be enough to destroy everything, and Soren's victory would ultimately be reduced to ruins.

Let's rewind five minutes.

Somewhere on the seabed, squads of fully armed Naga Guard were scattered on the left and right, while in the center was a group of eerily beautiful female Naga. In front of them was a mirror made of Seawater.

"Your Banshee, Banshee!"

A female Naga Wizard glanced at the mirror and slowly said, "Asroder has failed! He was killed by that Throat Cutter!"

Snort!

A cold snort rang out, followed by an icy voice from behind, slowly saying, "This incompetent piece of trash! He was timid and hesitant when dealing with the King of the Swamp, and he's still utterly useless against the Throat Cutter."

"Prepare to cast a spell."

Let all these humans perish in the sea.

The Naga Wizard beside her nodded in agreement. Then, a series of strange incantations began to rise, in the language of the ocean Naga. As they chanted, a giant wave gradually rose from the sea. The wave grew increasingly astonishing, until it almost became a blue curtain of sky that surged forward.

Temple of the Sea.

In front of the Naga Priestess was also a mirror made of Seawater.

Her expression was quite complex. She seemed hesitant and struggling, her gaze fixed on the approaching tsunami waves in the Project Image, as if she were making a very difficult decision.

"Your Excellency Priest."

A deep voice echoed from the dark Seawater, slowly saying, "If you are unwilling to take action, then it would be better to let them be killed by the tsunami. Most of the elite pirates from the South Coast have gathered here. If they all perish, even if the Throat Cutter survives, there will be no one to use. In this way, we can seize the opportunity to gain more benefits."

The Naga Priestess shook her head slightly upon hearing this and said, "The Tsunami is unlikely to kill them; at most, it can only kill the mortals present and destroy all the Warship."

"But that would leave a power vacuum on the South Coast."

"This may not be a good thing for us."

"Have the others prepare to cast the spell; we need to pray for the Avatar of the Goddess of the Sea!"

A terrifying tsunami was approaching.

Many people closed their eyes in despair, clinging tightly to the hull. Under the terrifying, towering waves, they could only pray for their Destiny to be kind to them, for within the range of the Tsunami, they had nowhere to escape.

--"Fly!"

--"Fly!"

--"Fly!"

When the terrifying tsunami struck, Soren and his companions frantically cast spells, but the limited Spell Slot were simply not enough to save so many people. Even with Vivian and the Fallen Witch present, they could only use Fly to carry a very small number of people into the sky.

The terrifying tsunami is getting closer and closer.

The towering waves, some more than ten stories high, filled them with despair and suffocation. But just as the tsunami was about to engulf them, a strange conch shell sound suddenly rang out all around them.

Then.

Then, a wave rose from the center of the battlefield, the Seawater swirling like a whirlpool. The azure Seawater automatically gathered into a figure more than ten meters tall. She stood in the whirlpool, holding Trident, and gently pointed at the tsunami sweeping in front of her. Then, the terrifying wave in front of her gradually dissipated and disappeared, as if everything just now was an illusion.

Temple of the Sea.

A deep voice echoed from the Seawater, slowly saying, "Priest! The other ocean priests have been summoned; the spell can begin!"

"Your Mightiness?"

"Your Excellency, High Priest?"

The sound from the Seawater seemed somewhat anxious, and a strange tentacle emerged from the deep, dark darkness.

The Naga Priestess remained standing, but her expression was now stiff, with a hint of panic brewing within her. Before her, in the Project Image of the Seawater, appeared the figure of a goddess wielding Trident. She stood in the whirlpool, seemingly the ruler of the ocean. With a gentle flick of her hand, the terrifying tsunami vanished without a trace.

Goddess of the Sea!

The Naga Priestess felt a chill run through her body.

A sense of dread filled her heart, for she had not yet cast the Spell to summon the Avatar of the Goddess of the Sea; the Avatar the Goddess of the Sea before her was herself.

What does this mean!?

The mere thought sent shivers down her spine, filling her with dread.

Let's rewind to a week ago.

Soren was preparing for a decisive battle with the Pirate King Asroder. Having learned from his previous victory over the King of the Swamp, he held a simple Sacrificial Ritual before leading his fleet out.

This is really a very simple Sacrificial Ritual!

The offering was made to the Goddess of the Sea.

Soren barely uttered a prayer; in short, he conveyed the message that he intended to offer the head of the Pirate King Asroder to the Goddess of the Sea, using this battle as a sacrifice to her.

It's that simple.

After all, Soren still needs the protection of the Goddess of the Sea. Since this battle is inevitable anyway, it's better to give the Goddess of the Sea a heads-up beforehand.

There might even be additional benefits if we win! (When defeating the King of the Swamp.)

Soren Blessing of the Goddess of the Sea, so his prayers differed from those of ordinary believers, and were no less weighty than those of a priest. If he were to offer a prayer, the Goddess of the Sea would certainly hear it. The Deity blessing and favor deepened their connection; the Goddess of the Sea could perceive Soren's prayers, even more so than a typical sea priest. As for whether the Goddess of the Sea liked his offerings or would heed his prayers, that was something no one knew.

After all, the Goddess of the Sea is notoriously capricious!

The terrifying tsunami gradually subsided.

The terrified pirates looked up ahead, and when they saw the figure of the Goddess of the Sea standing in the whirlpool, the dark mass of people knelt down, and some even prayed in trembling voices.

The Avatar of Deity has descended to the mortal realm!

The Goddess of the Sea did not descend in person, but merely formed a temporary body from Seawater. She paid no attention to the mortals kneeling on the deck, but instead turned her gaze to Soren not far away.

The gaze of the Deity!

As if bearing immense pressure, the Goddess of the Sea glanced at Soren, then nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied.

She raised her Trident and pointed it forward, and then saw the Three-Headed Sea Serpent with its three heads curled up emerge from the seabed. As if it had heard something, it gradually swam to Soren's front and lowered its head deeply like a servant.

The vortex gradually shrank.

The Avatar of the Goddess of the Sea gazed into the distance, her brows seemingly furrowed slightly, before her figure vanished in the whirlpool, transforming back into the azure Seawater.

Everything that just happened felt like an illusion.
