Water Dragon God Mercphobia

Above the port city of Ermina, Hughes curled his lip, completely ignoring Irene's threat.

He unleashed his Advanced Observation Haki, instantly enveloping the entire port city of Ermina, searching for any clues related to the Water Dragon God.

Before encountering Karameel, the Water Dragon God Mercphobia was fierce and tyrannical, often causing storms in the endless sea outside the port city of Ermina.

Finding the Water Dragon God in the endless sea is time-consuming and laborious, but many hands make light work.

The port city of Ermina is a coastal town that worships the Water Dragon God Mercphobia. The local residents misinterpret the Water Dragon God's brutal acts, such as flowing back the sea and creating waterspouts to destroy islands, as various miracles, and even carved stone tablets for the Water Dragon God.

They knew more or less about the recent whereabouts of the Water Dragon God Mercphobia.

At this moment, Hughes used his Observation Haki to sweep over all the residents of the port city of Ermina, comparing the information he had gathered with the sea map in his hand, and slowly deduced in his mind where the Water Dragon God Mercphobia might appear.

Two or three minutes later, Hughes pointed to the nearest location on the sea map and nodded to a slightly disgruntled Irene: "Let's go here first. If the Water Dragon God isn't here, we'll go to another place!"

Irene had no objections and instead took the lead, her impatient manner making Hughes shake his head. He then unleashed flames from his legs and caught up with her.

Flying side-by-side in mid-air, Hughes glanced at the heavily bundled-up Irene: "I mean, you didn't really need to cover your neck like that!"

"What do you think?" Irene returned Hughes a look of disdain that he knew perfectly well.

Hughes clicked his tongue, a strange feeling creeping into his heart that he might be the first to experience the Deus Sema.

Shaking his head to clear the grime from his mind, Hughes skipped the topic and continued, "After we find the Water Dragon God, you have to promise me something!"

Even if the Water Dragon God escapes from us, you absolutely must not use any overly powerful magic!

Hughes thought for a moment, then uttered the famous Deus Sema and World Reconstruction Magic.

As soon as she finished speaking, Irene turned to look at Hughes in astonishment. "How did you know I know World Reconstruction Magic and Deus Sema!"

Hughes, unwilling to tell the truth, raised an eyebrow and replied with a flippant, flirtatious tone, "Of course it's because I care about you. I've carefully researched everything about you."

Irene trembled upon hearing this, and the word "trash" was especially evident in her cold eyes.

Deep down, her wariness of Hughes increased to a new level. World Reconstruction Magic and Deus Sema were super magics she had comprehended by combining Enchantment Magic and Dragon Slayer Magic, which she had never used before.

How did Hughes know?

At this moment, Hughes continued, "Remember, never be too high-profile on the Guiltina Continent, or you'll easily attract the attention of some terrifying being."

"I know your strength, but you are no match for it!"

Irene's beautiful eyes narrowed and she looked surprised. When Hughes spoke just now, the word "An" was written in the air!

Of course she knows who the word "" stands for!

But how did it end up on the Guiltina Continent?

"Don't overthink it or ask too many questions. Nobody knows if it can sense us. We'll come quietly, do our work quietly, and run away once we've accomplished our goal!" Hughes said seriously.

God Ankhseram who tormented Zeref for over 400 years, is a terrifying deity who holds the power of life and death.

Whether what lies hidden within the Guiltina Continent is the original entity or some other being similar to a thought entity, Hughes does not know.

Just stay away from it!!

Irene remained silent for a long time before nodding. She had witnessed Zeref's miserable state and knew the power of the God Ankhseram.

The two fell silent for a moment, Luffy until they reached their first destination. After observing for a while, they flew toward their second destination on the sea map.

A week later, on a small deserted island in the endless sea, Irene and Hughes looked up.

At the horizon, the water and sky merged seamlessly, with endless seawater hanging high in the air, blotting out the sun, and countless waterspouts connecting the top and bottom, raging and moving.

Wherever it passed, the sea level was exposed and sunken, with towering waves at the edges, like a raging flood that devoured everything.

Hughes stared ahead, unleashing his Advanced Observation Haki, and quickly spotted the Water Dragon God Mercphobia amidst the dense waterspouts.

"It's in the middle!"

Upon hearing this, Irene suddenly raised her wand, and terrifying magic gathered through the wand into a deep red light like magma.

It pierced through layers of waterspouts and struck the very center of the sky and sea that blotted out the sun!

"The Sea Surface Collapse!"

"Buzz~"

The seawater, which had been suspended upside down by the magic of the Water Dragon God Mercphobia, suddenly began to vibrate, the ripples gradually intensified, and then it burst open.

As the waterspout dissipated, large swaths of seawater fell from the sky, splashing up dozens or even hundreds of meters high.

Thus, the sea domain constructed by the Water Dragon God Mercphobia was shattered by Irene's single blow.

"Roar!"

With a roar that shook the heavens, Mercphobia, known as the Calamity, emerged from the rain and mist. It had a five-horned head, six wings on its back, and a long, slender body, remarkably resembling the blue dragon in the form of the feathered serpent god.

[Giant Sea Kings has been detected. Defeat it!]

[Note: This is a hidden quest; it has been automatically accepted.]

The moment the Water Dragon God Mercphobia appeared, a system notification sound followed immediately.

Hughes, preoccupied with gazing at Mercphobia, paid no attention to the system, his intense gaze sweeping over Mercphobia from head to toe.

Its size is truly exaggerated; whether it's true that a Kun is so big it can't fit in a pot, Hughes doesn't know.

But Mercphobia certainly can't fit into one pot!

After comparing them, Hughes estimated that he and Irene combined were no different from grains of sand in the eyes of the Water Dragon God Mercphobia.

If the Water Dragon God is this big, then how exaggerated must the Wood Dragon God Aldoron, which is said to be the world's largest dragon, be?

As Hughes' thoughts wandered, the Water Dragon God Mercphobia finally discovered the culprit that had disturbed its sleep.

"Roar!"

Mercphobia roared to the sky, and the already turbulent sea became even more turbulent with its dragon's roar. The waves piled up rapidly, one higher than the next, and in just a few breaths, a giant wave that could overturn an island was formed.

Hughes clicked his tongue in admiration. As expected of a dragon that controls the ocean, it's incredibly powerful when fighting on home turf. It can even manipulate seawater to attack without using magic.

But his temper is really bad, but it doesn't matter, he has General Irene!

"You play with him for a while, and I'll make my move when the time is right!"

Having said that, before the massive waves surrounding the small deserted island had subsided, Hughes stomped his toes on the ground and vanished.

Just as Irene's eye twitched, the massive, island-destroying wave that had enveloped the small, deserted island collapsed.

"Boom!"

The once pitiful deserted island was instantly crushed into pieces by the boundless seawater, then sank, becoming nothing more than a thing of the past.

Amidst the misty air, Irene floated in the void, a transparent magical shield protecting her!

The wand she was holding slid down from top to bottom, and a ball of light several times larger than her body instantly formed!

"Holy Light Beam Stream!"

Irene pointed her wand at the Water Dragon God, and the ball of light shattered, transforming into countless beams of red and white light, creating a massive, meteor-like attack on Mercphobia.
