Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

On the way to the coast, the two of them remained silent. The Doctor remained mysterious, hands in his pockets. Skadi's demeanor had changed since she discovered the egg case in the rain.

From a silly killer whale mercenary to a calm and efficient deep-sea hunter.

"Now that there is no outsider around us, can you tell me what you found in the water?" The doctor slowed down his pace and turned his head to look at Skadi and asked.

"...They are sea urchin egg cases, and there are a lot of them..."

"Is there any way to clean it up?" When the doctor formulated the battle plan, he considered that the Deep Sea Church could control the low-level sea creatures to fight. However, he did not expect that the sea creatures could take advantage of the heavy rain to come ashore early.

"Yes, but it's too troublesome." Skadi shook her head. Agor had weapons to clean out the Haisi nests in batches, but her contact with Agor had been cut off and she could not call for support.

"They have learned to lurk in the dark and then concentrate their forces to launch an attack. I never thought Haisi's intelligence has evolved to this level."

"The Deep Sea Church secretly imparted human knowledge and wisdom to some high-level sea creatures to help them evolve. Sooner or later, the sea creatures will be able to communicate with humans without any obstacles."

"By then, what chances will humans have of winning the war against the sea creatures..." As a deep-sea hunter, Skadi is well aware of the terrifying speed of the sea creatures' adaptive evolution.

The reason why the Deep Sea Hunters are still using traditional cold weapons in combat is that they hope to guide the evolution of the Sea Si to a certain extent and maximize the effectiveness of the multi-level weapon system of the Agor Fleet.

"Look at it in a positive way. If we can find a way to completely resolve the crisis of the sea creatures before they evolve to a highly intelligent level, wouldn't that be fine?" The doctor said in a relaxed tone, as if he had already thought of a solution.

"Maybe. Let you researchers solve this kind of problem. I will protect your safety." Skadi lowered the brim of her tricorn hat, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

......

"There are also monster egg cases in the crevices of the coastal reefs, and they have begun to hatch." Skadi climbed up the slippery reef, grabbed a ball of sticky translucent gel, threw it at the doctor's feet, and jumped down herself.

The expected earthquake did not occur. The moist and soft sand absorbed the impact, leaving only deep footprints.

"It's a bit disgusting..." The doctor hated sticky things and didn't want to touch them at all, so he used magic to control the egg sac to float in front of him for careful observation. The creature inside had already begun to take shape.

"Every coastline as far as the eye can see has become a breeding ground for monsters. It's simply impossible to eliminate them all during the vulnerable period before the terrifying fish hatch."

Skadi's gaze swept back and forth along the winding coastline, her expression extremely solemn.

"Hurry back and tell the residents to evacuate the town. They're coming for me. I'll do my best to prevent the terrifying fish from coming ashore and buy time for you to retreat."

Skadi untied her sword pouch, drew her heavy sword, and adjusted her tricorn hat. Her long, smooth hair fluttered in the wind, revealing the powerful aura of a deep-sea hunter.

Skadi's family and friends all died in the Haisi attack on Agor City. After joining the Deep Sea Hunters, she has only two goals in life: survival and revenge.

Out of hatred for the Sea God, Skadi participated in the battle to behead the Sea God and became the last hunter to kill Ishamara. She was never afraid of death, but only of dying in vain.

"Don't be impatient, let me try it first." The doctor stepped forward and held down Skadi's right hand holding the sword. The red flames rose from the soles of her feet and gradually enveloped her whole body.

A hundred-meter-tall fire giant appeared on the sea. The extreme high temperature evaporated the rain falling around it, and the thick white fog obscured the giant's figure.

Skadi was so shocked by the scene before her that her mouth opened slightly, and her blood-red eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

......

Disrupted by the torrential rain, Gloria eventually lost sight of the Deep Sea Church's group. She could only continue her search in the direction where the trail had last disappeared. The outline of the coastal town was faintly visible in the torrential rain.

Meanwhile, Ulpian approached the seaside town from another direction. After climbing a muddy hill, he came into view of the rusted cross atop the church bell tower.

After a long journey, even the captain of the Deep Sea Hunters was inevitably tired, and his tense spirit relaxed a little. However, the fire giant standing on the distant coast instantly caught his attention.

Between looking for Skadi and exploring the Fire Giant, Ulpian thought for a moment and decided to set off for the coast.

Skadi looked up at the Doctor in the Fire Giant's chest, not understanding what he was going to do.

The fire giant opened his huge mouth into the abyss, and red flames gushed out like huge waves crashing on the reef.

A large number of sea urchin egg cases clinging to the cracks in the reefs were dried out almost instantly and twisted and deformed, like octopus tentacles on a hot iron plate.

Watching the Fire Giants efficiently dispose of the young sea heirs along the shore, Skadi, who wasn't very adaptable to Originium techniques, felt envious. Even her own heavy sword, which emitted smoke, couldn't achieve such an effect.

It's not like Skadi hadn't tried to learn Originium techniques before, but unfortunately, her talent was limited. After working hard for over half a month, she still achieved nothing. Finally, she relied on the universal Originium circuit of her staff to successfully launch a ball of fire.

The Agors are a race that is naturally less adaptable to Originium, perhaps because they have lived in the depths of the ocean for generations and have had less contact with Originium.

The Sarkaz, in contrast, were the first race on this land to encounter Originium. The first Demon Lord, the Far Repeller, created the prototype of Originium techniques—Sarkaz witchcraft.

Unfortunately, even the Demon King, who stands at the pinnacle of Originium skills, cannot erase the gap in racial talents and teach Skadi to use spells.

As she sped along, Gloria noticed a sliver of crimson on the distant horizon, and her brow furrowed. During her time ashore, she had gained some understanding of Iberia's current situation.

The city was dilapidated, food was scarce, and the coastal areas were sparsely populated, so that red light shouldn't have appeared. Since we had lost track of the shark, we might as well turn around and investigate what was causing the anomaly.

Of the two captains, Ulpian arrived first, hiding far away behind a reef that had not yet completely cooled down, and sticking half of his body out to observe carefully.

The white-haired hunter standing on the beach leaning on his heavy sword caught his attention.

"Skadi, it seems the information is true..."

Ulpian did not rush to recognize Skadi, because after the battle that killed the sea god, he was not sure whether Skadi was influenced by the sea heir.

To confirm, Ulpian pulled down his mask and used his hands as an instrument, playing the piece of music agreed upon by the three teams to begin the decapitation operation.
