CHAPTER 642: 639

The battle above the sea continued.

However, the portside was unexpectedly calm.

Though the casters witnessed the battle, deep down, they still considered the wise sea monster as just a part of the fight, unconnected to them as spectators.

Then, someone was attacked.

Eyes filled with various negative emotions spread across the port, and some even began to feel fear.

"I, I just remembered I have something to do..."

"You guys continue."

Only a few seconds of silence.

Then some casters, unwilling to watch any further, chose to leave.

After all, these people believed the danger in the fight did not pertain to them, so naturally, there was no reason for them to stay.

However, just as they were about to leave,

the calm sea surface tore open again.

Boom—

Water splashed up, forming waves tens of meters high.

Under the night sky, the dark waves hiding the sky seemed like a malevolent beast choosing its prey, as tentacles of the monster violently stretched out from the darkness.

The monster hiding under the sea, for some reason,

suddenly attacked these casters who were planning to leave!

Though the casters were already on guard,

the monster’s massive size combined with the suddenness of the attack still successfully dragged several of them into the sea.

"..."

"How dare you!"

"Damn it!"

In this attack, the number of spectators who fell victim far exceeded the first.

With such significant losses, the casters related to the victims were enraged, and as they scolded, they began preparing their lethal spells, with numerous incantations resonating simultaneously across the port.

The casters who made it here.

In fact, all possessed notable reputations or considerable strength.

Being attacked twice by one monster, even involving members of their own factions, these casters naturally wouldn’t just wait passively for death.

In just a few seconds,

these adept casters completed their spells.

Various forms of spell effects spread from the port.

Among them were more powerful tracking spells, straightforward fierce attacks, and some even started to alter the nature of the seawater, intending to tackle the problem right from the monster’s aqueous environment.

Boom—

The spell that changed the nature of the seawater was the most effective.

Before the effects of other spells could manifest, the monster hidden in the water could no longer tolerate the environmental changes, and nearly a third of its body surged out of the water, heading straight toward the dock.

"Whoo, whoo—"

At this moment, the monster emitted a sound like a low whimper.

Its swinging tentacles then crashed directly toward the casters on the dock.

Boom, boom, boom—

Loud impacts were incessant.

Utilizing its massive size, each slap of the monster’s tentacle was catastrophic for humans. The port, designed just for docking ships, couldn’t withstand such attacks, and within seconds, much of it was forcefully demolished.

Though the casters also fought fiercely,

the disparity in size made their attacks ineffective at best, only serving to further enrage the increasingly aggressive sea monster.

"..."

"Get lost!"

At that moment, an angry roar filled the sky.

Seeing her city suffering such devastation, Dantrian could no longer contain herself. In a manner unsuited to the rhythm of combat, she pulled from the golden phantom behind her.

A book as thick as a dictionary.

Just like that, it converted from reality to illusion in her hands.

Shush——

The next moment, a crimson light appeared on Dantrian.

The light, filled with immense magic power, repelled everything around it, and even man-made deities couldn’t avoid this effect.

Then, a figure dashed out from within the crimson light and had reached above the port in the blink of an eye.

"Listen—Elber, take the people to safety now."

"Try to minimize the losses!"

The one who emerged could only be Dantrian.

She used a spell to project her voice farther, her fingers searching the pages for the specific entry she needed.

"Volume five hundred three, Entry one——"

"..."

The essence belonging to the Complete Technique enveloped Dantrian.

At this very moment, the spell cast by Dantrian’s hand was completely beyond the realm of ordinary investigators.

Direct possession of the original, the enhancement of the Complete Technique, immense magic power...

Many of Dantrian’s already significant abilities enhanced the spell’s effect, which directly afflicted the enemy.

The monster rampaging through the port was massive.

Yet against the most powerful human, the original holder of the present age, its mountain-like body was instantly drained of power—its inherently soft structure collapsed directly into the port.

Boom——

The monster’s body, which had already emerged halfway from the water.

Having been felled by Dantrian’s spell, naturally it crashed directly onto a vast number of buildings in the port area, causing destruction that was almost impossible to quantify.

And having delivered that blow.

The magic fluctuations surrounding Dantrian also immediately weakened.

To deal with this monster swiftly, the Queen of Gred evidently had made her choice.

Shush——

At this moment, a figure from the ground shot up instantaneously.

Seeing Dantrian’s clear weakness, even without the Wizard of Barrier Mountain needing to act, a caster with malicious intent from another country was about to attack the queen.

For these people.

This was an opportunity of a lifetime.

Meanwhile, at another part of the port area, anxious investigators sprung into action, trying to intercept the malicious caster.

"Snort——"

"Volume three hundred sixty-two, Entry three..."

Unfortunately, Dantrian was still the strongest ruler of Springs. Facing the attack, she just scoffed coldly, quickly finished the incantation, and punched towards the attacker’s head!

Bang——

A deep thud.

Before the supporting investigators could arrive, Dantrian had already met the enemy head-on, delivering a punch like lightning, fast and furious, that literally exploded the foe mid-air into a ’firework’!

At this moment, an arriving investigator consciously asked:

"Your Majesty, what about the secrecy protocol?"

Dantrian replied with a clear purpose:

"We don’t need to consider that right now; ensuring the safety of the people in the city is our top priority."

"I will figure out a way to deal with the enemies over there, you must..."

"Woo-woo-woo——"

Suddenly, a deep sound rose from the ground of the port area.

The giant monster, which should have been completely incapacitated, started moving again!

"..."

"Tsk——"

Faced with such bad news, Dantrian’s mood certainly wasn’t going to improve.

Before continuing to deal with this monster.

Dantrian suddenly looked up, her gaze flicking to the sky.

There.

There seemed to be a faint light flying above the sea...
