Countless soldiers and sailors who had no time to escape to higher ground were swallowed up in an instant, and they did not even have time to scream.
The wails and cries for help seemed so faint amid the roar of the waves.
Corlys and Daemon looked at this apocalyptic scene from a high altitude in the distance or on a mountain ridge, with pale faces and lingering fears.
Daemon stared intently at Redd who was "rescued" by King Ghidorah, his eyes filled with fear and unspeakable complex emotions - if it had been half a beat slower just now, he and "Caraxes" might not have been spared either!
However, this terrifying huge wave seems to be just the beginning, or... just the "aftermath" caused by the movement of the deep sea being.
The waves did not recede immediately. Instead, they formed a huge, slowly rotating vortex after hitting the coast.
In the center of the whirlpool, the color of the sea water becomes bottomless, and a faint blue light shines from the extreme depths.
Immediately afterwards, a silhouette whose size was indescribable in words slowly rose from the center of the vortex, from the depths of the blue light...
The first thing to emerge from the water is the "back" that is undulating like mountains and covered with thick blue-gray cuticle and countless barnacles and corals.
The breadth of that back is almost comparable to part of Gray Gallows Island!
Then several huge tails, as thick as ancient temple stone pillars and covered with spiral patterns, poked out of the water.
Waving it casually, it is a hundred meters long, with strange creatures shining with phosphorescence attached to it.
Finally, in the center of the whirlpool, the sea water parted, revealing a pair of eyes as huge as a small lake, shining with cold reason but full of wild and chaotic light!
The direction those eyes were looking at was the Gray Gallows Island, or more accurately, the direction of the cave under the island, which was also...
King Ghidorah, which is suspended in mid-air and looks much "small" in comparison, exudes a golden pressure that cannot be ignored!
The ancient existence has awakened and responded to the call. And what it brings is by no means just waves of destruction.
A collision beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding, which may determine the fate of Stepstones and even the wider sea, is about to kick off amid the huge waves and cold gaze.
Does Tormund's desperate call bring salvation to this sea area, or is it a deeper disaster?
No one knows.
But all survivors know that from this moment on, the nature of the game has completely changed.
Bloodstone Island High up, Redd put down the frightened Mysaria, his eyes as sharp as a falcon, tightly locked on the terrifying picture in front of Gray Gallows Island that was like the return of a myth.
The giant snake-like creature (as it is called for now) has fully revealed its breathtaking silhouette from the deep sea.
Its slender body meanders in the waves, and the part above the water is only a hundred meters long. It is covered with a blue-grey, thick cuticle like an ancient reef and numerous parasites.
The head sticking out of the sea is as big as a house, with no obvious eyes (or the eyes are hidden in deeper folds),
There is only a huge mouth covered with layers of teeth that curve inward like barbs.
Like a tunnel leading to the abyss, it is constantly opening and closing, emitting a roar as low as from the depths of the earth, greedily devouring air and waves.
It stirs up the seawater to form a waterspout with a diameter of hundreds of meters.
Connecting the leaden sky and the raging sea, it emits a deafening roar, becoming the most desperate background in this sea area.
Under the gaze of the mighty forces of heaven and earth and the ancient behemoths, the two "little dragons" who were previously as powerful as fire and water are now engaged in a desperate pursuit and desperate fight.
Tormund rode the injured "Raging Wave" like a frightened bird, circling and shuttling wildly outside the seaspout, trying to use the chaotic airflow and visual interference of this terrifying celestial phenomenon to get rid of the pursuers.
"Wrathful Wave"'s wounds burst open, and its gray-blue scales continued to shed blood drops under the intense movements. However, it had a strong will to survive and still flew hard.
Daemon riding "Caraxes" is like a gangrene attached to the bone, chasing after him.
He only had Tormund and the sea dragon in his eyes, and seemed to turn a blind eye to the terrifying snake-like beast and waterspout, or in other words,
Dazzled by greed and anger, he thought that as long as he fought quickly and caught the sea monster before it went completely crazy, he could escape quickly.
The flight path of "Caraxes" is more violent and direct, constantly spitting out Dragonfire,
Trying to block the "Raging Wave"'s escape route, its tail and sharp claws covered with bone spurs are waiting for opportunities to launch fatal attacks.
Two dragons, one grey-blue with blood, and the other ferocious with thorns, were fighting in the violent wind, water, and the invisible pressure emanating from the giant beast, and they were surrounded by dangers.
However, their "little fight" obviously attracted the "attention" of the giant snake-like beast.
Perhaps it is the breath of dragons (even if it is a variant) that stimulates it, or perhaps it simply regards flying creatures in the air as delicious snacks.
The mountain-like head slightly adjusted its direction, and its huge mouth suddenly opened to an incredible angle.
The layers of gleaming barbed teeth inside were exposed,
Then, with a speed that was completely inconsistent with its huge size, like a giant python attacking, it fiercely bit into the two dragons fighting in the air!
No tricks, no fancy, just the most primitive and brutal predatory instinct!
Wherever the giant mouth passed, the air was squeezed out and exploded, and the fishy wind it brought even briefly disrupted the trajectory of the waterspout!
"Get away!" Tormund roared with his eyes about to burst.
The "Raging Wave" let out a frightening scream and rolled sideways and upwards with all its strength, narrowly avoiding the huge mouth that passed by and exuded a strong smell of sea and ancient decay.
But Daemon and "Caraxes" are not so lucky.
"Caraxes" was attacking "Raging Waves" with all its strength, using clumsy movements. Faced with this sudden attack that covered a huge area, it only had time to suddenly fold its wings and try to fall down to avoid it.
"Crack--!"
There was a tooth-piercing loud noise! "Caraxes" The end of the dragon's tail covered with bone spurs was severely scratched by the sharp teeth on the edge of the giant beast!
Several thick bone spurs were broken in response, the scales on the dragon's tail were torn open, and blood gushed out like a fountain!
"Caraxes" let out a shrill roar of pain, its huge body lost its balance, rolled and fell towards the sea.
Daemon, who was on his back, was even more frightened. He hugged the dragon's neck tightly to avoid being thrown away, and his face was as pale as paper.
The giant snake-like beast seemed a little dissatisfied with not being able to swallow two "small snacks" in one go. Its head shook slightly and its huge mouth opened again.
Prepare to make up for the blow, or suck the falling "Caraxes" together with Daemon into the bottomless abyss-like throat!
"Now! Let's go!"
Tormund seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not caring about Daemon's life and death, and slapped "Raging Waves" on the neck.
"Wrathful Wave" understood, endured the pain, and burst out with his final strength. His wings flapped vigorously, like an arrow leaving the string, no longer entangled in the fight.
Escape toward the vast sea area to the southeast that is completely opposite to the giant beast, waterspout, and Bloodstone Island!
