We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 50 You too are afraid?

Chapter 50 You too are afraid?
"..."

As he watched the coral fragments scattering in the sea, Fried fell into deep thought.

He had personally encountered these coral monsters, so he understood all too well how troublesome they were.

The tough coral is the monsters' natural armor, enough to withstand most weapon attacks, and its powerful regenerative ability makes them even more persistent.

Furthermore, if injured by a coral monster, one must immediately leave the seawater.

Otherwise, the body will undergo irreversible degeneration.

Unbreakable, indestructible, and untouchable!

This is a true depiction of such a monster.

But right now...

The man in black robes shattered it with a single punch?

How much strength would it take to do that?
"If that punch lands on me..."

Just imagining the scene sent a chill down Fried's spine, and he shuddered.

"Who exactly is that person?"

After witnessing his opponent's extraordinary speed and strength, the ordinary and confident Fried finally changed his mind.

He even regretted his reckless venturing into the sea.

What happened next was completely beyond Fried's expectations.

The two men swaggered through Coral City, occasionally smashing corals and damaging houses, causing quite a commotion.

Rather than saying they didn't care about the coral monsters, it was more like they were actively provoking them!
Such provocations have indeed been very effective.

Before long, one coral monster after another awoke from the shadows and surged toward the two of them.

Their numbers were so vast that they almost formed a horde of corpses.

Fried, merely by observing such a scene, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine and his scalp tingle.

Faced with the horde of zombies, the man in black robes advanced instead of retreating, taking out a giant iron hook and sweeping through the monster horde.

With just one swing, a large number of coral monsters die, either being cut in half or smashed into pieces, thus clearing a large area of open space.

next moment.

The figure in black robes became a shadow, moving in and out of the horde of corpses seven times, at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow.

No monster could stop his advance, and no monster could withstand a single attack from him.

Gradually, the seawater was violently stirred up by the heavy iron hook, forming a chaotic and violent current.

Swirl up, crush, and shred any coral monsters that get close.

The most extreme violence, the purest killing!
……

……

Bright sunlight pierced through the seawater, illuminating the colorful, distorted coral city and coating it with a layer of white radiance.

But today, the city seemed to have less of an eerie atmosphere than usual.

This is because, in a corner of the city, an underwater "storm" is raging.

Numerous corals, skeletons, and pieces of wood were swept along by the turbulent currents, creating a spectacular scene resembling a "waterspout."

Several ancient buildings, already dilapidated and on the verge of collapse, were subjected to this "storm" for no reason and finally could not withstand it.

It shook twice and then slowly collapsed!

boom--

Smoke and dust rose, and the seawater suddenly became even more turbid.

As the turbulent currents gradually subsided, a figure in black robes stood beneath the falling coral fragments, exuding a solemn and majestic atmosphere that permeated the seawater.

A humble, armored knight stood guard behind him.

The throne forged from coral and corpses was trampled under his feet!
—This is the scene that the other salvage crew members of the Giant arrived at the underwater site.

They stared blankly at the scene, unable to recover for a long time.

'What exactly is this...?'

'Could that man in black robes be the captain of the Black Swan?'

'This power… truly befits a Mystic! Moreover, an ordinary first-tier Mystic couldn't possibly accomplish something like this.'

The salvage crew quickly guessed the truth and were filled with awe.

Compared to those vague rumors, Xia En's actual combat strength is much more convincing.

At that moment, someone noticed Fried not far away.

But at this moment, he showed no trace of his previous high spirits; instead, he was pale and dejected.

It was as if he had finally come to terms with reality. Everyone could understand his feelings.

How could Fried not regret missing out on such a powerful and promising captain?

……

Shane was neither aware of nor interested in the thoughts of these bystanders.

At this moment, he was immersed in the joy of a bountiful harvest.

[“Secret Sea Crystal” (Special) detected within the corpse. Absorb?]

"Absorb! Absorb! Absorb some more!"

[Ship Soul Experience +1%!]

[Ship Soul Experience +0.5%!]

[Ship Soul Experience +0.7%!]

【…】

As Xia En walked across the vast expanse of coral remains, with each step he took, a deep blue [Secret Sea Crystal] would precipitate out and seep into his body.

I'm fucking sucking!

Although the quality of monsters here is generally not high, most monsters only give 1% experience, and sometimes even less than 1%.

But there are just too many of them!

In just a short while, Shane's experience bar shot up.

The upward trend is encouraging!

Until all the corpses have been swept away.

[Ship Soul Level: LV1 (73%)]

[Black Swan's speed increased by 1!]

[Black Swan "Sturdiness" +1!]

[Talent: High-Speed Regeneration (Common) → (Rare)!]

After careful calculation, Xia En realized that this monster-hunting session alone had increased his experience points by more than 20%.

At this rate, after two more runs, the Ship Soul will reach LV2!

but……

Xia En glanced at the surrounding coral reefs out of the corner of his eye.

He vaguely sensed that the cold, lurking gazes hidden beneath the building seemed to carry a hint of fear.

Some of them even exist and are quietly moving away from him.

"So you guys are afraid too?"

Shane was quite surprised; he had thought the coral monster was a creature without pain, just like the "super beast"!
For most people, being feared by coral monsters might be a good thing.

But for Shane, this undoubtedly increased the difficulty of killing monsters.

I'm afraid that if I provoke them again, they might not be so obedient as to swarm forward.

In fact, this frenzied monster-slaying mode is not so easy for Shane to replicate.

After being promoted to the first rank of [Captain], his physical attributes improved significantly, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was "incredibly strong".

Combining the talents of [Seawater Manipulation] and [Seawater Affinity], this created a spectacular scene resembling a "water tornado".

However, the price of such a full-blown release of power is...

[Ship Soul Power: 34/100]

"This consumption is truly enormous."

Xia En clicked his tongue in amazement.

This sweep was like his energy level plummeting from full to critically low.

It was exhilarating, but it couldn't last.

It can only be said that both combat methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on the situation.

Just as Xia En was pondering.

From the coral reef not far away, several sea creatures swam over with respectful expressions.

"Good day, Your Excellency, my queen wishes to see you."
