I've Already Branded You (Continued)
The radiance emanating from William's palm formed a thin, gossamer-like shield that enveloped William and the others.
The moment that magical flash touched the barrier, it transformed into the world's most primordial light particles and vanished into the heavens and earth.
"That's interesting. Is there anything else? Show me as much as you can!"
The swirling wind whipped at William's coat, causing it to flutter loudly.
This is the suppressive power of higher-level energy over lower-level energy. Magic is utterly insignificant in the face of the purest divine energy.
"Ughhhhh!"
Leviathan roared angrily once more, and terrifying magical power surged from its massive body once more.
From its cannon, which was submerged below the sea level, thousands of steel constructs resembling fish fry were launched.
The fish fry left trails of white bubbles as they surged toward the surface of the sea directly below William at an astonishing speed.
That's right, this is a genuine tracking torpedo!
From this, it seems that Leviathan intended for the torpedo to fly quickly to William's feet and detonate there.
"Impressive combat intelligence!"
William nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand again, creating another dark gap that drew the group inside.
Bang bang bang!
The dazzling flames illuminated the sky swallowed by darkness, and the water spray from the explosion surged and shot into the air hundreds of meters high.
The sea was far from calm, with wave after wave of higher and higher waves spreading outwards.
One can imagine that if this guy were to launch such an attack on any coastal city, that country would truly be at risk of sinking into the sea.
Without exaggeration, this is a monster that, under certain conditions, possesses destructive power comparable to that of True Ancestor.
Accompanied by two beautiful women, William arrived directly above Leviathan almost instantly.
And now, his gaze is becoming increasingly fervent.
"That's quite impressive combat intelligence. After realizing that energy attacks were ineffective against me, you immediately opted to use a physical creature like a fish."
To be honest, this trick had absolutely no effect on him!
The reason he stopped standing still to block attacks was simply because he thought it was silly to stand still and wait for attacks.
However, Leviathan doesn't seem to think that way.
The attack made the guy in front of him want to back down; that trick worked!
The biological detectors located William almost the instant William appeared in reality.
With his confidence suddenly surging, Leviathan immediately opened his gaping maw!
Countless blue shadows shot out from Leviathan's massive upper body into the sky.
Those shadows drew graceful cloud trails in the sky, accelerating away in all directions.
The scene resembled white doves perched in a square, suddenly taking flight all at once.
"That's an air-to-air cruise missile!"
The missiles flying everywhere seemed to have found their targets, completing the process of turning back and locking on in mid-air before heading towards William.
"It seems that your world's technology in ancient times was probably much more advanced than it is now."
William shrugged casually and said to Nangong Natsuki in a joking tone.
"Alright, stop playing around. If these missiles explode again, the waves will completely engulf the entire Island of Gen'ei."
Seeing William's playful mood, Nangong Natsuki full of exasperation.
"Okay, I understand!"
Having indeed received the Leviathan data, William did not object and nodded in agreement!
At the same time, a large amount of silver mist emanated from his body, causing all the missiles that forcefully entered William's mist to misfire and then turn into part of the silver mist under its erosion.
Then, just as Leviathan was about to continue its relentless attacks!
"Boom!"
With a roar of the atmosphere, the sky lit up with an intense white light, as bright as day.
However, right at the source of the light, a beast far more powerful than Leviathan appeared.
It was a ichthyosaur that was hundreds of meters long, covered in silvery-crystal scales, with translucent wings forelimbs and spiral horns on its head that resembled those of a goat. The horns were shimmering crystal pillars, making it an incomparably beautiful creature.
The ferocious aura caused Leviathan to immediately halt its attack.
The ichthyosaur raised its head, and a strange light flashed in its eyes.
"...!"
The moment that eerie gaze met Leviathan's, the roar abruptly ceased.
"Is the matter resolved?"
Seeing that Leviathan had stopped roaring, Nangong Natsuki tentatively asked.
"Of course, the No. 10 Star Beast, Capricorn Eye Crystal!"
"Among the Star Beast under my command, those responsible for charm possess the power to control minds; whether they are spirit beasts, familiars, or magical beasts, none can escape their mind control."
This is a demotion attack; it would be strange if a mere artificial magical beast could withstand his Star Beast.
"The next step is to take complete control of it."
William shrugged easily, ignoring Nangong Natsuki's stunned gaze, and then began to perform subtle mental manipulation.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on William's lips, his eyes rolled around, and his aura surged once more.
At this very moment!
The pure white submarine moved nimbly beneath the seabed, having just sailed a mile from the port of this Azure Paradise.
The submarine's propellers gradually came to a stop from spinning at full speed.
