Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 711 - 611: Upper-Rank Sea Emperor Dragon VS Taunting Tunnel Forager

"Gah gah gah gah..."

Having transformed into a ghoul, Heimer let out a cackle as piercing as a hyena's. The crimson Frenzy within him was fully unleashed, and his ferocious fists, legs, elbows, and knees rained down on his opponent like a storm.

Clang! Clang! Clang!...

Even with the combined forces of Gary and Elante, who had activated their beast hide forms and were amplified by the White Shark Aura, they could only take a defensive stance against Heimer, who was near the Tier 2 Peak.

They shifted their steps, wielding war axes and longswords, continuously blocking Heimer's heavy blows with the flat of their axes and the strong sword body.

With the mobility of an Official Transcendent, their battlefield spanned across the three Quasi-Legendary Battleships docked together and even the broad sea around them.

The three became afterimages, dashing back and forth, eventually returning to the deck of a Level 2 Battleship.

"You mere human knights, give up! Using the 'Exiled Prisoner's' power driven by the ghoul's formidable essence, I am invincible within Tier 2!"

After the fierce battle, feeling the endless surge of power from his body, Heimer, who never adhered to morals or honor and only worshipped strength, was completely inflated.

"A traitor to the Kingdom Navy, betraying your comrades' trust, not even living as a human — what's there to be proud of?"

Elante recognized this guy as the one who had once caused his father to lose his position as Battleship Captain, wasting four precious years of their lives. Of course, he couldn't bear to see him arrogant and retaliated mercilessly with sarcasm.

"You are..."

From the start of the fight, Heimer felt a strange sense of familiarity with this gray-haired kid; upon hearing his words, an image of a tall figure somewhat resembling him surfaced in his mind.

That was the Captain who had always been caring like a mentor and a father since he boarded the ship!

Heimer's face slightly darkened before turning vicious again. Gratitude easily turned into animosity, guilt converted into a desire to harm was as simple to him as eating and drinking water.

However, Elante did not give him any more chances to speak.

Raising the hand half-sword that shimmered with a faint red Extraordinary Spiritual Light, the "Bloody Lake Light," which was now useless to Aiven and Olivia, but still a divine weapon to Official Knights.

With both hands, he held the sword, raising the blade to strike a pose from White Sail Swordsmanship, the Sail Up Stance.

Boom——

With the sword blade erupting in a surge of red light, a torrent of Combat Qi Flame exploded from Elante's body.

Step! Charge!

Then his body suddenly split into two, mirroring each other like reflections on a lake, forming two identical figures.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

Enveloped in fiery Qi Flames, the two identical figures, coupled with the Activated Beast Hide, moved like deep-sea sharks, their every step causing thunderous cracks on the overburdened deck beneath.

Extraordinary Ability: Lake Reflection

Although this charged Combat Qi from Anita was merely like a child wielding a large hammer, unable to take down any true Great Knight, it was theoretically invincible at the Official Knight Tier!

Facing this mighty force from Tier 3, Heimer's expression changed drastically; without hesitation, he channeled his full Frenzy, maxing out his strongest Secret Technique at the cost of his future.

"Ah—!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

The dazzling red Frenzy emitted a terrifying explosion, seemingly turning him into a porcupine bristling with spikes, demolishing everything before him with overwhelming force.

Eight-Armed Fist: Elbow Spear

However.

Elante's momentum shifted dramatically, as if stepping on a boat floating on water, his form glided toward Heimer fluidly like flowing clouds and water.

Secret Technique: Floating Boat

"Remember my name on your way to the Netherworld, Elante... Cooper! Hah!"

Raising his sword, the fiery sword light sliced through the porcupine-like frenzied aura effortlessly like a hot knife through butter, and along with it... Heimer with his fierce gaze didn't diminish.

Blue blood and innards spilled onto the ground.

Suddenly.

"My 'Bloody Lake Light,' you thief!"

Not far away in the same battlefield, Thomas Gregory, as the original owner of this Extraordinary Weapon, couldn't possibly not recognize it. In the midst of pushing back his opponent, he shouted angrily towards this side.

Still covered in Combat Qi Flame, Elante whirled around at his words, casting a cold glare and raising the menacing sword once more.

Thomas: "Uh... Reckless."

...

Not far away, on the sea where a dozen Tier 3 Extraordinaries from both sides were engaged in chaotic battle.

Boom!

White steam gushed wildly as Sedric wielded his steam-powered hammer to forcefully repel a Great Knight rushing in to aid the Fleet Commander.

Following that, a cannon muzzle protruded from his chest, and flames spewed from his back, launching a warhead equipped with Black Gold.

In an instant.

The sky filled with fire and flying shrapnel, blasting two clustered ghouls from another direction into chaos.

Clearly, this weapon system upgrade was achieved with technical support from Aiven.

And behind the barrier defended by Sedric.

Was the fiercely contested battlefield between Anita and Republic Navy Commander Beisimo Gregory.

Despite his despicable character, he married off his own daughter to the much older head of the Constitutional Assembly, Jerome, to curry favor with powerful figures.

Yet the Frost Wolf Swordsmanship sourced from Iceland National Team was no undeserved reputation.

The essence of the sword technique was to maintain ice-like reason within stormy sword techniques, chaotic moves yet an unperturbed heart.

Beisimo's swordsmanship, honed over several decades, had reached the pinnacle of mastery-level, just one step away from understanding the secrets of the "Steel-Slaying Realm."

During the current great battle, he focused on the essence of the "Frost Wolf Swordsmanship" secret technique, ruling over his frantic sword techniques with a heart as calm as ice, like countless ferocious packs of wolves enclosing, continually compressing the space where Anita could evade.

The female knight, on the other hand, leveraged her advantages like a fish swimming, constantly maneuvering amidst the torrent of blades.

Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed in Beisimo's eyes.

The blade of the hand half-sword in his hand shimmered with extraordinary spiritual light, turning into clusters of icy blue Combat Qi teeth, like the massive mouth of a giant wolf fiercely biting towards the female knight, leaving no escape.

Sss! Sss! Sss!...

[Secret Technique: Fang Bite!]

Meanwhile, Anita, surrounded by the radiant emerald halo, subtly transformed her eyes into dragon-like vertical pupils, the "Activated Skin: Upper Sea Emperor Dragon" at her waist slowly writhing, and her arms were covered in a layer of fine dragon scales.

With the change in breathing technique, she suddenly stomped and shattered the sea beneath her feet.

The spray exploded on both sides of her body, forming pure white wings, and the frost-white sword Qi flowed continuously on the bright sword blade in her hand. Wielding the massive Dragon-slaying Sword was no more burdensome than wielding a dagger, and she leveraged the sea's power to swing the sword upward.

[Dragon-slaying Swordsmanship: Bone Shattering War Chariot!]

Boom——!

Thunder rolled, instantly becoming the focus of the two combatants.

In the full-force collision, without any embellishments, between these two Great Knights, whose combat power had reached the peak of Tier 3.

Beisimo spat out a mouthful of blood, his body losing control and rising into the air, unable to hold onto the longsword with his cracked palms.

Anita, meanwhile, tumbled across the sea's surface, relying on the strong resistance of her Dragon Vein to flip back up and charge towards Beisimo once again, aiming to take his life while he was weakened!

Overhead, the battle between the Tier 4 combatants also reached a fever pitch.

Pickman, transformed into a massive hyena with blue gelatinous skin standing two meters tall, already bore numerous burn marks from lightning and, noticing the commotion on the sea due to the previous roar, underwent a facial expression change.

Before he could react.

The corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of a strong light flashing and disappearing on the horizon, like a small sun.

Along with it vanished the life aura of..."Lawless" Hawkins.

"What's going on?!"

The crowned demon with keen senses exhibited a changing countenance, gritting his teeth fiercely, and blasted a mouthful of cold breath towards the "Thunderbolt Halberd" to force it back.

"Daring to obstruct the divine's great works, you forced my hand! Great 'God of Mysterious Cold Bones,' 'Ghoul King,' your people call for your power, howl——!"

With a long howl to the sky, an biting cold wind howled upward.

Woo woo woo...

With the mysterious summon, a black dot like ink suddenly appeared behind Pickman, then rapidly expanded as if to dye the world black.

Augustus across from him was like sensing an abyss approached, and his hairs bristled instantly.

The battlefield on the sea beneath gradually quieted down.

It was a mass of darkness, void and completely opaque ink, with a blinding "multicolored brilliance," gradually filled the area with death-like and void-like bitter cold.

Subsequently.

The entity gradually took form, a reptilian shadow pillar as massive as a giant dragon, with six tentacle-like appendages on its head resembling sand worms, and its curled body continuously crawled out from the occult rituals in the void.

Then it changed instantly, spinning and revolving, like a whirlpool filled with ancient dark energy; in a moment, it transformed into a demon giant devoid of limbs and dual-eyed head.

Although it could barely be categorized as a terrifying animal with its shape, the intrinsic chaos and disorder could only evoke a terrifying existence—the Ancient God!

Fortunately, this horrifying image existed only for a moment.

Once the energy from the void was injected into Pickman's body.

Slash——

The massive hyena suddenly split in the middle, transforming into two independent entities like a cell's mitosis, completely healed from scars.

"As long as you are resolved, the divine's grand endeavor will not fail!"

One of them roared fiercely, lunged directly at "Thunderbolt Halberd" Augustus, who was momentarily stiff from experiencing the half-divine power.

The other pounced towards the battlefield below, primarily to rescue the mortal army's commander Beisimo.

Opening its foul-smelling massive mouth, it lunged at Anita charging forward, already realizing this female knight was the strongest among the Alliance Army's Tier 3 Extraordinary.

Crunch!!!

But was swiftly intercepted with [Furnace Overload] by the second seat of the Alchemists' trio, who keenly watched Anita's movements, having the responsibility to block the deadly threat.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Anita dove directly into the water.

While this steel body with Tier 3 strength undoubtedly was bitten into two halves by the ghoul.

Reopening its massive mouth, shattered pieces of constructed parts like gears, springs, bearings... fell into the sea successively.

Meanwhile.

Boom!

The sea burst open.

A colossal creature about sixteen meters long suddenly leapt out of the water.

Its gleaming emerald-scaled body was streamlined like waves, with two sharp dragon horns like spiral long spears protruding vertically from its forehead; this was an Upper-Rank Sea Emperor Dragon enshrouded entirely in a layer of watery radiance!

Huh——

Opening its massive mouth, it unleashed a hundred-meter-long frost-white biting flame stream at the Tier 4 Ghoul "Taunting Tunnel Forager."
