Sure enough, a series of unexpected situations arose over the next day.
The [ Light ] was repeatedly attacked by all sorts of strange sea monsters. Wave after wave of various aquatic monsters attacked the [ Light ] like starving jackals seeing fresh meat. There were giant fish that could stir up huge waves with a flick of their tails, deep-sea behemoths covered with tentacles, sea turtles magnified countless times, strange fish with serrated Bone Spike on their backs, and metal fish that, although not large, could leap dozens of meters out of the sea and fly like arrows.
Later on, some water-based magical beasts appeared that could control water elements.
They possess a certain level of intelligence and thought, and can cooperate with each other in a well-trained formation like an army. Some breathe out ice and freezing air, while others drive giant waves of various shapes, summoning wind and rain.
The ocean is teeming with water, and even simple level three or four water magic spells, under the control of these natural-born water elementals, can unleash the power of level five or six magic spells, which is truly terrifying.
On several occasions, attacks by aquatic monsters nearly capsized and destroyed the [ Light ].
Of course, the invading sea monsters and aquatic magical beasts were almost all wiped out.
Sun Fei didn't even have to make a move. With a top expert like Torres in charge, and the Chambord City University also being quite formidable, the sea was always littered with the corpses of all sorts of aquatic beasts after each battle.
Some of the rarer varieties were even caught and served as part of a barbecue dinner, where they tasted quite good.
Some strange-looking sea creatures that didn't taste very good were also salvaged and used as specimens for research— the Chambord City Civil and Martial University even offers courses on this topic, making them perfect teaching materials.
However, as the voyage progressed, the pressure on the [ Light ] increased, and the hull began to show signs of damage.
"These are no ordinary pirates or any other human force. Absolutely no one on the ocean could possibly manage to continuously drive away so many sea monsters and aquatic magical beasts!"
During a brief respite, the chief prisoner of the [ Light ], the navigation expert, and the King of Buckingham Lloris of Lyon, took a moment to find Sun Fei and spoke with a grave expression.
"Oh? Then what do you say it is?"
"This... is very likely... Sea Clan!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Fei remained silent in thought.
Sea Clan... Lloris's guess sounds pretty absurd.
Since the new era that began after the war between gods and demons, this term has rarely appeared in human vocabulary, because as members of the defeated race, the Sea Clan, like other alien races on the continent, has disappeared without a trace.
Although people occasionally claimed to have seen traces of the Sea Clan, it was ultimately proven that these were just exaggerations and mystification by some bards.
However, if they are not Sea Clan, then on the Azeroth Continent, especially within a radius of millions of miles, there seems to be no empire with the ability to control such a large number and variety of sea beasts. Especially for humans, the ocean has always been an unconquerable territory.
Although the major empires all have their own navies, which are said to be powerful, they are still far from controlling the seas.
An ordinary storm in the deep sea is enough to sink a massive naval fleet to the bottom of the ocean and turn it into drifting oars.
Human fleets can only operate at the edge of the ocean—even on inland seas like the [ Sea of Fragrance ]. Even novice sailors know that venturing into the deep sea is suicide.
"Alright, even if they are Sea Clan, so what?" Sun Fei thought for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion, so he stopped thinking about it and ordered Lloris to command the [ Light ] to go all out and head towards the Lyon Empire.
Upon hearing this, Lloris paused, unsure of what to say next.
Since we're being targeted, there's no point in thinking about it anymore.
No matter what force they are, as long as they continue to attack the [ Light ], they will eventually show themselves. At worst, we can just have a big fight. Does His Majesty the King have any fear of them? -- Sun Fei, the Barbarian's fierce and tyrannical nature, has begun to show again.
The next morning.
Sun Fei exited the Diablo World on Hell Difficulty.
His Majesty the King did not look well.
For an entire game time unit, the two of them, Valkyrie Elena Valkyrie, failed to kill the final boss of [ Arcane Sanctuary ], the Evil Summoner. For more than eight hours, the two fought to the death and both suffered serious injuries.
At this rate, it will probably take another two game time units to kill it—more than twice as long as Sun Fei had previously estimated.
"Damn it, the difficulty of Diablo World is getting higher and higher."
As Sun Fei stepped out of the cabin, he began to ponder whether he should temporarily pause his upgrade of [ Barbarian Mode ]. As the saying goes, haste makes waste, and forced efforts are never successful... Hmm, perhaps he should allocate a little more of his game time to the other six classes?
At that very moment--
"Here we go again! Hurry, get ready!"
A Lloris shout came from the deck, followed by the hurried footsteps of the sailors.
Hundreds of meters away, dark, reef-like shapes appeared on the sea. Then the seawater began to churn violently, and the water elements in the air became restless... Those seemingly endless sea monsters were back again!
Under King of Buckingham's command, the sailors, who had become accustomed to the occasional attacks by sea monsters, were no longer as panicked as before. They skillfully took their positions according to their previous assignments, Concentrate on maneuvering the warship. The task of killing the enemy was naturally left to the Chambord people and had nothing to do with them.
The battle has resumed.
This time, however, the poor sea creatures encountered Sun Fei was in a bad mood.
His King stood at the bow of the ship, making no apparent move, but slowly unleashing punches one after another. The invisible force pressed down like collapsing mountains, and amidst screams of agony, thousands of sailors were slaughtered in an instant. Blood flowed for miles, and corpses floated everywhere. The densely packed aquatic beasts didn't even have time to get within a hundred meters of the ship before they were all turned into pieces of minced meat.
After holding out for less than ten minutes, the swarming sea monsters scattered and fled for the first time in history.
Faced with overwhelming power that even Great Sun-Rank Venerable could not Resist, these seemingly fearless beasts finally felt fear.
Meanwhile, five or six kilometers away.
Several dark figures, with upper bodies resembling human figures but lower bodies that swung like fish tails across the water, their eyes gleaming with crimson blood, stared hatefully at the distant Light.
"Damn humans, they're so powerful!"
"What should we do? These water beasts may just be cannon fodder, but our losses are still considerable!"
"If this continues, we won't be able to deal with them. If the princess punishes them, things will become very difficult..."
"If you ask me, our race has only just awakened from its seal. Isn't it a bit too hasty and risky for Your Highness to target the Human Clan, who are now the dominant power on the continent?"
This is the first update of the day, making up for what was missed.
