…
Under the misty waterfall, a tall figure dressed in red stood there. On her left earlobe was an earring that emitted a communication sound.
"Executioner Philip is dead," a deep voice said from the other end of the line.
"Oh, how disappointing!" the red figure replied calmly.
"The item we want is being sent to its destination."
"Mm, very good," the red figure said.
"Should we send someone else to take care of that guy?" the deep voice asked.
"It's fine, that guy isn't someone we can kill easily. Let's find another opportunity," the red figure said.
"His strength has improved a little too quickly. Even Philip couldn't take him out. I'm worried that he will grow stronger and become a bigger threat to us. After all, he has Double Innate Elements. If he manages to reach the Super Level, he will be unstoppable," the deep voice said.
"Don't worry, I won't give him a chance to reach the Super Level!" Salan said.
"That's more than enough, you're just like Jörmungandr!"
"Jörmungandr, maybe!"
…
…
The Atlantic Ocean seemed to be even bluer, as clean as an ice mirror. Even when there were no waves, the white clouds and sky were still.
Tinuoaya was one of the most beautiful and mysterious cities in Portugal near the Atlantic Ocean. It was also a gathering place for ocean hunters. Almost every hunter who wanted to explore the Atlantic Ocean and obtain wealth from the ocean filled with treasures would stop by here. At the same time, they would also squander all their wealth here in a single night.
Be it the lounges by the sea with beautiful women, the noisy casinos, or the dueling grounds of Mages, there was always an endless amount of luxury to be had here!
It was still afternoon. The warm sunlight shone elegantly on the surface of the sea. The gentle waves were like the hem of a girl's dress, rippling in the sea breeze …
A drunk old Mage was sitting on a wooden walkway. The walkway extended to the surface of the sea like a wooden bridge. Many people would come here at night to enjoy the cool breeze.
The old Mage's face was red, and he kept grumbling about his partner. He was very dissatisfied with his partner's performance when he went out to sea.
"I already told him that he had to control the Water Barrier. If he wasn't so arrogant and listened to me, he wouldn't have let that Thunderdevil Fish escape!" Old Mage Kant continued to blabber on.
Next to him was his companion, a bearded middle-aged man who drank less. He tried to comfort him, "Even so, you can't ask him to leave the team just because of this. You have to know how hard it is to gather a team like ours. Isn't it all for hunting the sea monsters? Isn't it all for the money? Why are you so upset?"
Old Mage Kant was so angry that he slammed the railings. He was about to speak when he suddenly saw a huge ship the color of ivory appear on the surface of the sea.
He was too drunk. He could only feel that there were many shadows on the ivory ship, slowly drifting towards the city's estuary.
"Such a huge ship! But I remember there's a rule in the waters of Tinuoaya City. A ship of this size isn't allowed to dock here, right? "the man with a beard said.
"Humph, once I hunt a Commander-level Beast, I'll buy one like this too. I'll ferry the girls of Tinuoaya City around the Atlantic Ocean. When I return to Tinuoaya City, I'm going to double the number of people on the ship!" the old Mage burst out laughing.
The bearded man at the side naturally understood the meaning behind it. He also smiled. His gaze couldn't help but look at the huge ivory wheel that had a rather awe-inspiring aura …
As the ivory wheel slowly approached, the bearded mage's expression gradually froze. His beady eyes bulged out of their sockets!
"Kant, that … that doesn't look like a ship …" the middle-aged Mage blurted out in astonishment.
"Why isn't it a ship? Is there anything else that's so huge floating on the ocean? Don't tell me it's a giant sea monster?" Kant blurted out in a drunken voice.
"It's … it's really not a ship!" the middle-aged Mage screamed sharply when he realized that something was not right.
On the surface of the sea, the huge ivory creature was getting closer and closer to the harbor. Its figure was even more shocking than before. Looking at it from afar, it still felt like it had occupied the entire eye.
Kant rubbed his eyes. He gradually sobered up when a strange breeze swept past him. He lifted his eyes and looked at the ship again.
Kant immediately felt like his scalp was going to explode with a single glance. He fell to the ground from the overwhelming shock!
Cold sweat poured down like rain. Kant was an old Hunter, and was about to become a Hunter Master, yet he had never seen such a terrifying sight before!
A skeleton!
It was not an ivory-white ship drifting on the ocean. Instead, it was a ghastly gigantic skeleton that was slowly being pushed to the seaside of this city by the waves!
The skeleton was in perfect condition. One could easily imagine how domineering it must have been when it was still alive. It was easy to imagine that it must have been an overlord of the ocean.
And now, the creature had turned into a skeleton. It was like an abandoned bottle, a trash can, or a piece of rotten wood floating to the shore. Any knowledgeable Mage would be paralyzed by the sight. Even if it was just a skeleton, a dead object, the creature still carried a terrifying pressure and threat. The hideous head that one had to look up at, the skeleton that was as big as a giant ship, and the most terrifying thing was … what exactly turned the overlord of the ocean into a skeleton? How terrifying was the thing that killed it!?
"I … I … I'll inform the Alliance …"
After an unknown period of time, the bearded mage finally recovered from the monstrous shock and said with a stutter.
"Al … alright!" The old Mage was still sitting on the wooden plank. He could not move his legs anymore. He could not even rise to his feet.
The skeleton was so life-like. The old Mage had roamed the ocean for many years, yet he had never seen or heard of such an astounding creature!
…
As the two old Mages were immersed in astonishment, a passenger plane flew past above them. It was slowly landing in the city by the sea.
On the plane, Mo Fan was sitting next to the window. He was looking down at the beautiful city by the ocean when he happened to see the scene below him.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Manting went up to him and asked.
"There's a strange white ship down there. I feel like it's going to fill up the port," Mo Fan murmured.
"It's just a ship, it's nothing special."
"I just feel like it's a little big."
"I've seen even the biggest tankers. A ship from a small place like this is nothing," Zhao Manting said proudly.
