First, take down the Sword Demon, then save Runeterra.

This guy... he really thinks that way!

With over a hundred people against one of them, the advantage is on my side!

Andrew's veins bulged: "Overestimating yourself!"

Twenty or thirty sailors near the bow of the ship raised their guns and fired.

Ato yawned, drew his Darkin Demon Sword and swung it casually, letting the bullets he couldn't block fall on his body, creating conspicuous blood holes.

"Want to know how your second mate died?" Ato slowly approached Andrew amidst the hail of bullets.

"It's you?!" Andrew's expression shifted. He had sensed something was wrong back at the "Flame Wave Tavern," and now the culprit was right in front of him!

The sailors ran out of bullets and frantically changed magazines. For every step Ato took forward, the others took a step back.

Andrew was at a loss. The bullet had clearly hit him, so why was he still able to move?

"Hey, could your guns be any less powerful? Why don't we fight with bayonets instead?"

Knife duel? Are you kidding me!

Andrew glanced at the ordinary handguard knife hanging at his waist, guessing that if he touched that blood-red greatsword, he would have to end his service life prematurely!

"Quick! Get the cannons up!" Andrew shouted.

The muskets had no effect, and he refused to believe that cannons couldn't do anything to this monster either!

Andrew ran to one side, and the sailors all retreated, leaving only Atto in the bow area.

Two pitch-black cannons were pushed over and aimed at the bow of the ship. The sailor who was operating them was about to pull the switch when he discovered that Atto had disappeared!

"Where is he? Shouldn't it be a one-sided situation?"

Andrew felt like he was going crazy. What was wrong? Why couldn't anyone on the ship handle Ator?

He didn't realize that the moment Atto boarded the ship using teleportation magic, his duel with the "Leviathan" turned into a duel with the ordinary people on board.

The advantages of the Leviathan could not be utilized at all!

Andrew was still searching for Atto, but the cannon was cut off before it could be fired.

The cannon barrel slammed heavily onto the deck, and Atto actually squatted there and tapped the barrel with his fingers!

"You can take it head-on, but if you don't dodge a shell that's so slow to fire, do you think I'm stupid?"

Ator's body had fully recovered, and there was no longer any blood hole to be seen.

Andrew finally understood why there was no blood at the "Flame Wave Tavern" scene: the monster's ability was to absorb flesh and blood, and it also had a super strong regenerative ability!

The second mate's disappearance has absolutely nothing to do with Miss Unlucky!

However, it was too late.

"Ahhh!"

A sailor standing behind Ato seemed to see an opportunity, drew his long sword and charged at Ato.

Atto resumed his sword-carrying stance, and the sailor's attack was easily blocked by the greatsword. The longsword struck the blade and broke with a "crack".

Atto turned and swung his sword horizontally, causing the sailor's blood to gush out and splash into the air.

The sailor's body began to melt, his face filled with disbelief, as he merged into the demonic sword along with his blood.

Andrew was right about one thing: it was indeed a one-sided battle.

The other sailors, witnessing this scene, felt breathless.

How do I fight it? How exactly do I defeat this monster?

Accustomed to the fighting and killing among pirates, accustomed to resolving battles with guns and cannons, when all means fail, when witnessing abilities beyond reason, the collapse of an ordinary person can happen in an instant.

Madness broke through reason, and some people, like the sailors before them, shouted and drew their swords to fight.

The other group rushed to the side of the ship and jumped into the sea.

At this moment, all they wanted was to get away from that monster, regardless of the fact that there wasn't a single island within their line of sight in the surrounding sea where they could land!

“It shouldn’t be like this…” Andrew looked at the chaotic crowd, some of whom were either cut in half and absorbed by Ator, while others jumped into the sea and disappeared.

For the first time, he felt despair.

The bombardment of the "Siren" continued, but it was all blocked by the magical light barrier, and the "Siren" only suffered a slight tremor.

What kind of monster is that mage? He single-handedly blocked the firepower of an entire warship? Are you kidding me!

With Miss Fortune having such an ally, does Planck still want to be the king of Bilgewater?

Even if he were to hand it over to her outright, he would still have to beg Miss Misfortune to spare his life!

Andrew has lost his way in life today.

"Kill him!" The crazed sailors attacked from all sides.

Occasionally, a few blows would strike Ato's body, leaving shallow bloodstains, but he would recover in the blink of an eye, and the number of sailors surrounding him would decrease.

"Why the sudden rush?" Ato wondered. "I only cut down two cannons, didn't I?"

"Perfect, this draws the monsters' aggro, saving us time running around the map. I wonder how long Ryze can hold out there."

Atto accelerated the pace of reaping lives.

The once bustling deck gradually quieted down, with only the bewildered gunners below diligently performing their duties.

Just five minutes later, apart from Atto and the dazed Andrew, there was no one left alive on the deck.

Ato looked around to make sure no one else was there, then walked up to Andrew.

"Sarah said this guy seems to be quite valuable? Old man, he doesn't need to absorb anything, he's already full from eating."

"Looking back now, it seems like I've been taking advantage of Planck all along..."

“If I could still control my abilities, the flesh and blood I’ve absorbed would be enough to heal me dozens of times from severe injuries,” Aatrox said.

"Now that we've finished on deck, it's time to head to the cabin."

“That’s true.” Ato ignored Andrew and walked toward the stairwell leading to the cabin.

Andrew slumped to the ground, his eyes vacant.

To this day, he still can't figure out what caused the current situation, with the entire crew wiped out and even the "Leviathan" about to be taken away by Sarah.

Planck is finished.

No one on this ship can stop that monster, and the same will be true back in Bilgewater, unless all four Horrors obey Plank's orders.

Wait, can the four legendary horrors really defeat him? Andrew didn't know.

……

Sarah is so glad she met Atto and Ryze.

The Sirens were no match for the Leviathan; had it not been for Ryze's magic blocking most of the firepower, the Sirens would have capsized in the sea long ago.

Right now, it's just a little shaky and hard to stand up.

To the other crew members, Ryze was practically a god descended to earth, on par with Atto.

First, there was Atto protecting everyone during the Night of the Soul Eater, and then there was Ryze withstanding the full firepower of a warship!

What's wrong with this world? Are ordinary people no longer allowed to live?

Just then, the frequency of the shelling decreased.

The deafening noise subsided, replaced by screams drowned out by the sound of artillery fire.

Without the suppression of the cannons, Sarah and the others noticed that there were many people on the sea surface who were screaming and struggling, seemingly terrified.

Their movements were very large, and when they were exhausted, they all sank down and never came back up.
