Outside the Royal City Sea Area, less than three months remain until the Great Tide arrives in full force.
Led by three enormous Fire Seed Ships as large as islands, countless smaller vessels surrounded them, among which were several Kingdom Guard Army warships.
Despite Kadi having explained the dangers of this journey, many people still chose to set out with the Fire Seed Ships.
The Thousand Islands Kingdom also dispatched so Kingdom Guard Army mbers, and on the Fire Seed Ships, mbers of the Shadow of the Divine Descendant stood guard.
This massive fleet carved a long path across the sea, heading towards the Sea of Sin.
Splash.
A continuous drizzle fell from the sky, and the clouds hung low and heavy.
The weather had been like this since a few days ago.
It seed to portend ominous ons.
[Hoot—]
A dull sound echoed, and between the Fire Seed Ship and the Gelin, a large whale head was held down by a black tentacle, wrapped and drawn into the sea.
[Your clone Heisatan has killed a hard-shelled whale and gained combat experience.]
[Your clone Heisatan has killed a wandering corpse and gained combat experience.]
[...]
Rogel ca to the edge of the ship, slowly raising his hand.
With his movent, a spearfish several ters long, covered in green moss, erged from the water, floating in mid-air.
It was clear that sothing was very wrong with the eyes of this spearfish.
In the eye sockets, several deford eyeballs were squeezed out, like a cluster of dense grapes, horrifying and weird.
The bodies of these marine creatures had already undergone changes, to the point where so were barely recognizable.
[These creatures are too bizarre, attacking madly at any moving object they see.]
[If it weren't for Captain Rogel's trained sea monsters, we might have suffered significant losses by now.]
Beside Rogel, a man with stubble said.
His na was Haoyete, a mber of the Shadow of the Divine Descendant, and the one managing and leading the Fire Seed Ship.
He was soone both Kadi and the Shadow Capital valued. If the Fire Seed Ship managed to cross the Penance Strait to find suitable land for survival, he would be the new leader.
He was sowhat talkative and quite eloquent, and after leaving the Royal City, he actively sought out Rogel.
[Their transformation is happening faster.]
Rogel's expression was grave.
From the perception passed on by Heisatan's clone, there was a complex and eerie power in the seawater, affecting the sea creatures every mont.
If Heisatan's rank weren't relatively high, it might have been affected as well.
Haoyete's face darkened.
They could only watch these changes helplessly, with no ability to alter them.
[For now, I can still handle it, but you had better find a way to speed up the Fire Seed Ship.]
[Otherwise, things will get more difficult.]
Rogel said seriously.
[I understand.]
Haoyete took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
...
Sea of Sin.
Less than a month remains until the Great Tide arrives in full force.
Boom!
In the dark red sky above, thick clouds filled the space, so pitch black, others blood red, resembling black scabs in a pool of blood, making people uneasy.
Amidst the thunder, there seed to be so unnerving screeches piercing directly into the brain, unsettling the mind.
The sea's surface was battered by rain, scattering countless tiny waves, the surging waves like soone shaking a quilt, one after another.
Ferocious winds howled, tilting the torrential rain diagonally.
The only silver lining, perhaps, was that the rain was still normal.
In such tumultuous seas, the three Fire Seed Ships stood tall like mountains, swaying only slightly.
But so smaller boats were not so fortunate.
Swaying continuously in the fierce waves, tottering on the verge of collapse.
So unlucky rchant ships had already t with disaster in such dreadful weather and passages—shipwreck and loss of life.
However, no one could extend a helping hand to them.
Throughout these days of the voyage, the weather had turned increasingly harsh, with relentless downpours lasting over a month, and even rare dry days remained dull and overcast.
In this weather, no one could help others.
Heisatan was currently battling a deford monster in the sea, tentacles flailing, blood wings outstretched.
Fierce winds howled, setting the cloak flapping loudly.
Rogel's body stood unmoving.
Under the flapping hem of his cloak, his hands could be vaguely seen crossed, making a gesture.
With a booming sound, a blue ripple was emitted in front of Rogel, striking the deford monster in the sea.
With a splutter, the deford monster had no ti to utter a sound before it turned into a puddle of blood and flesh, falling into the sea with the waves.
After killing this monster, Heisatan once again subrged, heading in another direction.
[Ssss!]
Nurous strange screams mingled with the sound of rain and thunder, reaching the ears of the entire fleet.
Rogel didn't look at the kill prompt but picked up the Sound Transmission Conch.
It wasn't given to him by Old dicine Ding but by Haoyete.
Sound Transmission Conches, though rare, weren't exceptionally so, and the Shadow of the Divine Descendant could afford such things.
[Captain Rogel, these monsters are too dense; there must be sothing with an originating force nearby!]
Holding the conch, Rogel's eyes were fixed ahead.
[...I see it.]
At this mont, Rogel's phone screen automatically switched, providing a close-up of the scene.
In front of the Fire Seed Ship fleet, an abnormally shaped object was floating towards them.
On this island gathered countless marine creatures' blood and bones, along with many ship fragnts, appearing chaotic and disordered.
