“Save me, Lord North…”
The apprentice who was thrown off the airship struggled and howled continuously as he was sucked into the raging maelstrom…
“Rise for me!” North bellowed. After injecting a sufficient amount of hydrogen, the airship slowly detached from the water surface and flew up just before being swept into the maelstrom.
As the airship escaped the water, everyone present unanimously breathed a sigh of relief. If they had been caught in the maelstrom, they would have all perished…
North’s hands and feet were trembling. Having gone through a life-and-death crisis, he didn’t dare to hold back any longer. He quickly took out a palm-sized, crimson crystal stone and, with a pained expression, used the “Mage’s Hand” to shoot it into the sky. Moments later, it exploded violently,
A dazzling red light appeared, the world changed abruptly, and the thick white fog began to dissipate at a visible speed.
Lynn looked around and, within just a dozen seconds, the thick fog within a radius of two to three kilometers had vanished without a trace.
He roughly estimated that the range of the maelstrom should be slightly smaller than before.
“If you had such an effective thing, why didn’t you use it earlier?” Barbara asked discontentedly. They had almost lost their lives under the water just moments ago.
“This is the bone marrow of the Feathered Serpent, which can neutralize the fog temporarily, but its range and duration are very limited… This is the only one, and it must not be used lightly,” North said solemnly, looking towards the distance. The white fog nearby had already been neutralized and dissipated, but the fog in the distance was slowly converging towards the center.
They could not afford to delay any longer!
“Quick, get moving, throw these things down!” North called out to everyone as they tossed the barrels placed on the airship towards the center of the vortex.
The barrels, filled with an unknown liquid, soon crashed onto the sea surface and were swept into the great whirlpool.
Following that, Lynn was surprised to find that the turbulent water flow was slowly calming down.
“What’s happening?” “Has the maelstrom calmed down?”
Hank and the others were equally astonished, but the next moment they realized they had been too optimistic. The seemingly tranquil sea bubbled as if it was boiling furiously from intense heat…
Moments later, a massive tentacle stretched out from the maelstrom and slammed heavily onto the sea surface…
The entire ocean seemed to tremble, and a gigantic wave, ten meters high, surged skyward, its terrifying might chilling to the bone… And this was just the beginning. More and more enormous tentacles, covered with fierce barbs shining with a ghostly blue gleam, indicating their extreme sharpness, emerged from the depths like writhing dragons rolling on the sea surface.
North, however, was excited beyond containment. The information he had received was correct—the “Eye of Death” indeed entered a state of mindless frenzy.
“Now, Hank, adjust the cannon muzzle, take it down!” North shouted at them.
If he could, he would have loved to do it himself. But aside from the unreliable apprentices, he was the only one who knew how to pilot the airship.
Are we really going to fight this?
Hank looked down at the enraged ‘Eye of Death’ and couldn’t stop swallowing hard. It seemed they had angered an entity they should not have provoked.
Seeing Hank hesitant to act, North nearly kicked him off the airship in frustration and turned to Lynn. “You do it, Radak!”
Lynn glanced at him, took over the position of the gunner, and began moving the switches to adjust the angle of the Magic Crystal Cannon. About three seconds later, he pressed the lever.
A substantial amount of materialized magic power congregated at the half-meter-thick muzzle. Then, with a roaring sound that pierced the heavens and earth, a dazzlingly bright blue light burst forth, hitting a certain point on the sea surface with destructive force.
Boom—!
The violent explosion caused a chain reaction; the sea surface momentarily dipped inward, but the next moment, enormous amounts of sea water crazily surged inward…
The power of the high-grade Magic Crystal Cannon was extremely astonishing, and even the flying ship, which had been reinforced with Alchemy Arrays for stability, Wind Protection, and Speed, shook from the intense recoil.
However, this sure-hit attack missed its mark.
Aside from the scattering spray, nothing was struck.
“Radak, what did you do?” North said with a pang of distress, as each shot from the cannon consumed several high-quality Crystal Stones, its power literally bought with money!
Hank, Eva, and Barbara also looked at Lynn with strange expressions.
With the Eye of Death so large, how could they miss?
“Cough, a mistake, let’s go again,” said Lynn, slightly embarrassed. At such a long distance, he had subconsciously aimed following a ballistic trajectory, only to discover that the cannon fired in a straight line!
To facilitate Lynn’s aiming, North quickly lowered the flying ship to a height of three hundred meters.
This time, Lynn readjusted the trajectory of the Magic Crystal Cannon. Seconds later, another intense roaring sound emitted, and the extremely bright blue light shot past the flailing tentacles, striking a spot on the sea surface.
Could it have missed again?
The thought couldn’t help but spring to the minds of North and the others, but they soon realized they were wrong. As large amounts of sea water evaporated, a massive silhouette hidden beneath the sea surfaced.
The Eye of Death!
Everyone on the scene’s eyes widened, staring at the revealed figure, which had a visible length of more than twenty meters. If you included the tentacles, it could probably break the record of one hundred meters. Its pitch-black body seemed to be cast from iron; its head, triangular in shape, and its blood-red eyes were fierce and intimidating.
But before people could recover from their shock, another beam of light from the Magic Crystal Cannon appeared. Lynn had launched another attack before the flying ship had time to stabilize from the severe shaking of the recoil!
With the water pushed aside and not yet rushed back in, this strike directly hit the Eye of Death’s body!
The pitch-black body, akin to steel, was penetrated by the dazzling beam of light, revealing a vast wound, deep enough to see bone. A large amount of blood spewed out, staining the nearby sea water an inky green.
Roars of anger echoed across the sky as the sea seemed to come alive, churning non-stop. Thick tentacles stretched out and smashed down, creating waves several meters high on the sea surface.
However, the flying ship was simply too high. No matter how great the waves were at the surface, they couldn’t cause any harm to Lynn and the others inside.
Even the spirit-affecting roars became exceedingly weak after crossing the entire distance of three hundred meters.

One Magic Crystal Cannon shell after another fell upon the sea surface, blasting wound after wound onto the massive body of the Eye of Death…
On a normal day, even with the defense-breaking power of the Magic Crystal Cannon, inflicting heavy damage on a thinking giant beast would not be an easy task.
However, after having consumed the liquid in the barrel, the Eye of Death had lost its reason, mindlessly waving its tentacles to attack the distant enemies.
