Chapter 2644
Nathaniel stood at the edge of the ship, staring at the paradise-like island before him. He found himself holding his breath.Sunlight filtered through the towering, ancient trees, scattering dappled patches of light across the mossy ground. The air was filled with an exotic floral fragrance, sweet as honey yet tinged with a subtle freshness.Behind him, the soldiers could barely contain their excitement. They set down their weapons and reached out to touch the hanging vines. Crystalline fruits hung like clusters of amethyst and shimmered in the sunlight with an enchanting radiance."Your Highness, look at that tree," one of his guards exclaimed, pointing at a giant tree not far away.Its trunk was covered in spiral patterns that looked like natural stairways. Glowing mushrooms grew inside its hollow, which illuminated the surroundings like daylight. Several winged squirrels leaped from the treetop, and their wings stirred up tiny glowing particles. When the specks landed on the

Nathaniel's eyes widened, his expression caught between shock and despair. His hands instinctively clenched tighter. As the ship was dragged into the whirlpool. Darkness swallowed everything, and the only sound left was the roar of rushing water.The world spun around him, and his whole body felt like it was being torn in two. He squeezed his eyes shut and clenched his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging.Nathaniel had no idea how much time had passed. Suddenly, his body felt lighter, and the ship seemed to settle somewhere. His eyes opened slowly, confusion lingering for a moment before doubt crossed his face.They were no longer surrounded by the pitch-black sea. Everything around them was bathed in light.Startled, he pushed himself to his feet. His legs were still wobbling as he made his way to the rail. He looked out, and the sight before him left him frozen in astonishment.Nathaniel's jaw dropped, and his eyes widened. The shock on his face gave way to disbelief, and
Chapter 2642
Nathaniel's fleet was caught in the deadly stretch of sea and was tossed by raging waves. Gigantic swells slammed onto the deck one after another, and each impact was deafening. The ship rocked violently, threatening to come apart. Every groan of the wooden deck echoed the impending destruction.A soldier was swept into the air by a giant wave. He flailed his arms in despair, but the wind swallowed his scream. He plunged into the sea and was swallowed by the whirlpool without much of a splash.Nathaniel gripped the railing with all his strength. His knuckles turned white, his nails digging deep into the wood.His bloodshot eyes stayed fixed on the chaos. Seawater mixed with sweat slid down his face and traced the hard line of his jaw."Quick, tie down the ropes," he shouted, his voice raw.A young soldier nearby fumbled for the rope with trembling hands. Fear was written across his face, his lips quivering as he stammered, "Your Highness, I… I can't hold it."No sooner had he s

Neville said, "Don't worry about me. Everyone, attack. We must kill this beast."Blood still seeped from the wound on his back as he leaned against the broken rail, but he wasn't even bothered by it. He ordered his men to keep hammering the Brineclaw until they were certain it was dead.After relentless attacks from all his forces, the Brineclaw finally stopped moving and showed no signs of life.Neville let out a long breath before collapsing to the deck, gasping heavily. That monster had been one hell of a fight, but fortunately, Matthias had brought plenty of martial experts on this voyage. Otherwise, they never could have finished it off.Once the waves finally calmed, Matthias hurried over with a squad of personal guards."Neville, I heard you were hurt. How bad is it?" he asked."Don't worry, Your Highness. This is nothing. I'm not going to die from a scratch." Neville flashed a grin, revealing blood-stained teeth. "Back in my battlefield days, I've taken wounds way worse

The massive claw came crashing down.Neville's lone arm shot out to grab the winch chain. His empty left sleeve flapped wildly in the wind while the veins in his remaining right arm bulged as he wrapped the iron chain as thick as his forearm around his waist. He managed to haul the tilting ship back half an inch through sheer force."Form the iron chain formation," he bellowed.The deck trembled under his thunderous roar.20 burly soldiers immediately rushed forward to hammer the chain's barbed end into the gunwale posts. When the giant claw struck the chain with mountain-shattering force, Neville's knees buckled suddenly while his boot heels carved deep furrows in the planking. He forced down the rush of metallic taste rising in his throat."This beast's claws could crush iron and stone," he muttered as he watched the crack spreading along the iron chain. With a sudden surge of strength from his lone arm, he yanked the chain sharply to the side.The giant claw scraped past t
Chapter 2639
Matthias' fleet had just entered the mist-shrouded depths of the Eastern Sea, where lead-gray clouds pressed low over the horizon. Even the salty sea breeze carried a metallic, rusty tang.Standing on the main deck of the Surgebreaker, he rolled a small white stone between his fingers while scanning the fog-swallowed horizon. The three escort ships sent to scout the route had been out of contact for half an hour, leaving the supposedly safe channel marked on their charts silent and still at the bottom of a deep well."Your Highness, something's off with the current," the elderly helmsman beside him said.He suddenly gripped the compass as its bronze needle spun violently and frost formed along its edges. "This fog… It's alive."Before he could finish speaking, a sharp cracking sound erupted from the west.A massive waterspout burst through the thick fog, revealing the wreckage of half a ship twisting and flipping through the rolling waves. Lanterns on the deck flickered twice
