Fierce Battle at Sea
Heavy clouds hung in the sky, and the sea breeze was sharp and biting; the entire southeastern waters of Britain seemed to be shrouded in a silent oppression.
"Boom--!"
With the first shelling, the flames of war were suddenly ignited.
The moment the flames of war ignited at sea, the Viking Warband's warships launched the first attack from the mist. Raging waves surged, flames exploded from the cannons of the Dragon Head ships, and thousands of magical missiles rained down on Morgan le Fay's dragon-headed behemoth. The seawater churned violently under the impact, and the battle roars shook the heavens!
Morgan le Fay remained unmoved. She stood in the center of the deck, her black hair flowing, her robes billowing like flames. She slowly raised her arms, crimson vortexes appearing in her eyes, and a whispered murmur escaped her lips—
"Magic-Devouring Vortex."
A dark shadow, swirling like a black hole, suddenly formed before her, seemingly capable of swallowing even light. The cannonballs lost their luster the instant they approached the black hole, being torn apart, crushed, and swallowed up. Even several nearby Viking warships were drawn into the air, colliding together with deafening explosions.
"Jump ship! Quickly—!"
Wreckage and splinters of the warship flew everywhere, and the crew screamed as they leaped into the sea. The wind howled, and the waves surged; faced with that terrifying, all-consuming force, the entire sea resembled the end of the world.
"Hold the formation!" Ji Lufan shouted from between the shattered mainmasts, kneeling on one knee and slamming his fist into the deck, summoning a blue shield that transformed into a giant wall, blocking the vortex's spread. "Rear guard! Full shield activation!"
On the other side, Scrimgeour roared and led the Auror on Broomstick to glide across the sea, unleashing wide-range interference spells and shield spells to cover his comrades who had fallen into the sea as they quickly returned to their aid.
Just as the enemy was about to launch a counterattack, a clear, cold female voice broke the silence of the battle— Sarf stood at the bow of the ship, arms outstretched, her wand pointing to the sky.
"Venom Arrow!"
Hundreds of silver-green, serpentine arrows rained down from the sky, piercing through the clouds and trailing a trail of highly poisonous mist as they swept down, densely covering Morgan's warships and the Shadow of the Magic Dragon warriors. The serpent arrows corroded upon impact, and the toxic dust they kicked up forced the enemy to scatter, quickly disrupting their formation.
The Shadow of the Magic Dragon, which had initially held the advantage, was quickly suppressed and unable to capitalize on the momentum to expand its gains.
"Release the poison fireballs!" An invisible black warship suddenly appeared near the Shadow of the Shadow of the Magic Dragon warship. Night Cat, cloaked in a deep purple cloak, waved his hand, and his gangsters behind him threw out countless black spheres, which landed on the sea around the enemy warship, instantly igniting eerie green flames on the water and rising poisonous green mist.
That's enough.
Nimue spoke calmly, standing beside Morgan, her eyes vacant and unfathomable. In the battle just now, she had completed her magic—
Boom--
Suddenly, a surge of energy rose from the depths of the sea, and a pair of black tentacles, each the size of a house, silently emerged from the water. They first waved gently, then suddenly lashed out, instantly shredding a Viking warship!
The monster of Avalon Island—the Deep Sea Squid—has awakened.
A colossal figure emerged from the deep sea like a mountain, its dark red eyes slowly opening in the mist, as if a nightmare that had slumbered for millennia had returned to the world.
The Ji Lufan reacted swiftly, having already gathered most of the Viking warships and launched a concentrated barrage of cannon fire at the Deepsea Squid.
"Flying Fish Unit —Advance!" The warriors of the Silver Spear also made their appearance at this moment. Riding on Kelpie, they shouted war songs and leaped from the water, transforming into beautiful arcs as they began to approach the enemy warships.
"Tsk." Skylar sighed softly, standing on the small boat, his cloak fluttering in the wind.
Behind him, Sarf, Savannah, Natalie, Gadelle, and Katarin stood in a line, their expressions solemn, ready to face the impending all-out naval battle.
"Ready?" he said calmly. "It's our turn."
The waves surged, and the firelight illuminated the night sky. Suddenly, the water surface burst open, and a group of battle mages clad in red cloaks burst forth from the waves, riding Winky, horse- Kelpie, and leaping into the air.
The sea surface shook violently, as if the entire ocean was responding to the attack.
Just as the Silver Spear warriors were about to reach the warship, the Deep Sea Squid moved—its enormous tentacles Cleansweep across, attempting to slam the Silver Spear troops into the water.
"Too late."
A cold voice pierced the sky.
Natalie stood atop the small boat, her cloak fluttering like a blade in the wind, the silver magic spear "Soul-Seeker" in her hand gleaming with a wisp of blue light. She gently raised her hand, her eyes slightly closed.
"Ultimate Technique: Demon Magic Sniping."
"Bang--!"
A silver light pierced the air, and a beam of spear light, imbued with soul-shaking energy, arrived in an instant, precisely piercing the Demon Squid's eyes.
"Gugaa..."
The demonic squid let out a deafening wail, its massive body churning on the surface of the water, creating towering waves. Blinded and driven mad, its tentacles lashed wildly and indiscriminately at the surrounding sea, but the Auror, who had been lying in wait, unleashed their magical chains, tightly binding its limbs and tentacles. As the chains pulled, they released suppressing spells, keeping it at the edge of the battlefield, unable to interfere with the situation any longer.
"Board the ship!!!"
The Silver Spear troops pierced the sky like arrows, seizing the opportunity to board the warship of the Shadow of the Magic Dragon. Wooden armor rumbled, and iron boots hit the ground. As incantations flew, the war finally entered into close combat.
"Annihilate!"
Morgan's voice suddenly rang out from the warship, his tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.
The next second, her troops let out a low growl, their bodies disintegrating as if torn apart, turning into wisps of black mist that swiftly and silently swept across the deck, rushing straight towards the Silver Spear warriors.
It's that trick again--
However, this time, it would not work against the well-prepared Silver Spear Warriors.
The two leaders of the Silver Spear, the "Bishop" and the "Knight," joined forces to cast a powerful defensive barrier. The black mist crashed into it, producing a deafening sound, but it could only return empty-handed.
As the Silver Spear warriors unleashed their spells and launched a counterattack, the bishop and knights tacitly surrounded Nimue and launched a fierce attack.
Morgan, however, did not make a move.
She stood quietly at the stern, her robes fluttering in the wind, her silver hair dancing in the air, her red eyes burning like fire—as if waiting for someone to appear.
Before her, two figures slowly approached—one was Ji Lufan, clad in battle robes with eagle-like eyes, and the other was Scrimgeour, his black robes flowing and his expression composed.
"Morgan le Fay, your war ends here." Scrimgeour's voice was icy as he slowly raised his wand.
"Just the two of you?" Morgan's eyes flashed with disdain. With a slight wave of his hand, the surrounding black mist surged violently. "Aren't you underestimating me?"
In that split second, a figure Silencio appeared behind Morgan.
It was a figure tightly wrapped in a black robe, with a cloak hanging low.
The moonlight shone through, illuminating his extremely cold eyes.
"Long time no see, beautiful Miss Leffe." Skylar stood behind Morgan, a wicked smile on his face.
On the other hand, the battle was at a stalemate.
The roaring monstrous squid, Kaserus, was being pulled tightly by chains conjured by the Auror. Its massive body writhed and struggled on the sea surface, and each slap of its tentacles stirred up towering waves that nearly tore the entire ocean apart.
"Quick! Now's the time—!"
The wizards under Night Cat's command immediately sprang into action. Dressed in jet-black cloaks, their boots glowed, allowing them to walk on the waves and swiftly approach the Demon Squid, constantly pulling out Potions of various shapes from their hands.
"Venom Grenade - Throw!"
"Corrosive agent—launch!"
One after another, swirling Potions flew out, striking the exposed skin of the Potions squid with pinpoint accuracy. The vials exploded, releasing plumes of green, purple, and grayish-black smoke that carried a sharp, pungent odor and corrosive magic that seeped into the squid's wounds.
The behemoth roared in agony, but its movements had slowed considerably, and even its tentacles had become weak and powerless.
Immediately afterward, Night Cat leaped into the air, moving with the agility of a black cat, and landed precisely on the head of the deep-sea monster squid. She drew a long sword, aimed it at the nerve node in the center of the squid's head, and forcefully stabbed it down.
The longsword transformed into a dark blue light, rapidly spreading from the head of the demonic squid throughout its entire body.
Kaserus convulsed violently, as if every nerve in his body was making a final struggle. Then, the enormous tentacles drooped down, and the sea lost all its churning power.
It finally stopped moving.
"Success!" Night Cat's men let out a low cheer.
At this moment, a corner of the sea finally calmed down, and the focus of the battlefield gradually converged on that black and red dragon-headed warship.
"Your pet is done for. Once you've dealt with you all..." Skylar said, "This war will be over."
