"Ha!"

Luna's breathing sound seemed to be coming from the cabin on the lower level.

How did that silly cat get out of the room!

Luther cursed under his breath.

"Brush!"

His body instantly became transparent, transforming into a pure Spirit Body, and he passed directly through the floor to the next level.

The Wraith of the Grazing!

The lower cabins were extremely dimly lit, but this had no effect on Luther, who Spirit Body Transformation. He looked around the corridor and quickly spotted his black cat at the end. The little creature was hunched over, breathing on the two Invisible Servant in front of it.

Beneath it lay a black key, completely devoid of any metallic luster.

"Despair."

Luther ended his Spirit Body form and landed on the ground.

He looked at the scene before him with surprise.

Why are these two guys surrounding Luna? Is this the key they're looking for?

This is the Roselle relic that the Queen Mystic and the King of the Black Throne were fighting over?

What is this key used for? And shouldn't the Queen have kept it safe? How did Luna find it?

"Meow!"

The black cat's eyes gleamed with a deep blue light in the dim depths of the cabin. It noticed Luther, meowed happily, then lowered its head, grabbed the key, and ran quickly toward him. Two Servants followed behind, reaching out to grab it. But as if it had anticipated this, it nimbly dodged without even looking, swiftly crossing the corridor and running toward Luther.

"Die!"

How could Luther not protect his cat? He stared at the two Servants and Curse in a Filth voice.

"Bang!"

As Luther's Curse rang out, the two mutated Servants immediately exploded, turning into countless transparent fragments.

However, in the next moment, these fragments quickly converged and combined into a larger, incredibly solid body. Countless fine scales spread across its entire body, and it rapidly expanded and deformed.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a Dragon!

Because the ship's cabin corridors were rather narrow, the Dragon's size was limited, only about two or three meters long, but it was still much larger than Luna, a little black cat!

"Meow!"

Luna was terrified by the strange thing that suddenly appeared behind her. When she saw the Dragon opening its mouth to bite her, she immediately backed down, spat out the key, and ran faster toward Luther.

The Dragon didn't chase after it anymore. Instead, it lowered its head, swallowed the key in one gulp, and turned to rush towards the wall on one side of the cabin.

"Boom!"

Its massive, solid body crashed straight through the ship's walls, leaving a large hole, before flying towards the King of the Black Throne's colossal ship.

It snatched the item!

Luther was extremely anxious. He transformed into a fireball and rushed out of the cave. Then, his body swelled up and turned into a terrifying Devil.

"Brush!"

The blazing Sword of Lava traced a sharp trajectory through the air, its target the Dragon's belly, aiming to cleave it in two mid-air!

The Dragon flapped its wings, adjusted its posture in mid-air, and dodged the fatal blow.

"Could you please stop the pursuit?"

The Dragon's face transformed into Barros's likeness, and it spoke politely to Luther.

Fuck you.

Luther responded in a friendly manner.

This guy just tried to Weaving nightmares to make him lose control, how could he possibly let him go?

Furthermore, given the Queen Mystic's request, he must reclaim what he has!

The Dragon was flying at full speed, trying to shake off Luther, but the latter was not to be outdone, its Devil bat wings flapping as it emitted a howling sound.

"Medici!"

Luther shouted inwardly, trying to draw power from this "God of War," "If you don't cooperate, I'll use all my strength to Grazing you!"

"Cut."

A scornful voice echoed in his heart. Then, a bluish-white, almost purple flame ignited in Luther's palm, its temperature far exceeding the "Pyromaniac's " crimson flame!

Moreover, he had become much more adept at controlling the flames, easily transforming them into the shape of a spear with just a few pinches.

"Whoosh!"

At breakneck speed, Luther hurled the Flame Spear, aiming it at the Dragon.

The Dragon seemed to sense the killing intent coming from behind, and with a flap of its wings, it quickly adjusted its posture. In this way, the Flame Spear would fly past it without harming it.

However, a flash of rust crossed Luther's eyes. The Flame Spear changed direction at the end of its trajectory, still striking the Dragon's head!

"Boom!"

The flames exploded instantly, and the terrifying temperature and impact caused immense destruction, shattering the Dragon's body in mid-air. This time, it did not regenerate, but instead fell gracefully into the sea.

On the Dawn, the sounds of battle could be faintly heard. Luther seemed to sense Barros's meaningful gaze from the ship. But he had no time to pay attention to that, and quickly descended, diving below the airspace where the Dragon had exploded.

"Brush!"

Before the black key fell into the sea, Luther caught it precisely and placed it securely in his pocket.

Success! Now we just need to take it back.

"Boom!"

A deafening clap of thunder suddenly exploded overhead!

Almost instantly, the surrounding light dimmed, leaden clouds obscured the sky, a sudden downpour began, and fierce Gale whipped up towering waves.

A violent aura instantly filled the entire sea area!

"Come back quickly!"

Despite still being engaged in battle with the King of the Black Throne, the Queen Mystic immediately shouted to Luther, "Do not attempt to challenge the Storm!"

This is not advice, but a warning!

Luther sensed a terrifying pressure from the Storm; it was the Tyrant of the sea wreaking havoc, demanding that all creatures within its domain submit!

It is the remnant of divine power within the God War Ruins.

He immediately had a guess.

The consequences of confronting such a force are unimaginable!

However, Luther was already in the eye of the Storm, and he had no way to escape.

To Tyrant, not bowing to Him is treason!

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck down, hitting Luther precisely, but he dodged it with Flaming Jump. However, a second and a third bolt followed in quick succession, relentlessly pursuing him.

"Call--"

A fierce Storm arose around him, with waves reaching over ten meters high!

In such Storm, Luther, suspended in mid-air, could hardly hold on; he felt himself locked in place by an extremely violent force.

Just because he remained suspended in the air during the Storm, he offended the remnant of this divine power!

The two giant ships tossed and turned in the wind, like two tiny leaves.

"Meow--"

Luther heard Luna's voice and saw the little black cat being flung out of the broken hole in the ship.

Oops!

"Brush!"

Luther rushed over at full speed and caught Luna before she fell into the water.

He was about to Dawn's cabin when he suddenly sensed an unprecedented crisis.

Turning my head, I saw a Hurricane sweeping in from afar.

It connects to the clouds above and the sea below, more exaggerated than any legend describes, like a giant serpent coiling to destroy the world!

The Hurricane swept towards him!
