Chapter 2197
Author: Marina Vittori
When the shadowsteel whip was swung, it crackled with power and delivered precise strikes that were impossible for anyone to dodge.

Despite the strength of Number 33's opponent, he was forced to retreat and unable to close the distance.

In mere minutes, the opponent endured a relentless barrage of lashes. His body was marked with bloody welts.

He gritted his teeth and persevered for another two minutes before being knocked off the battle ring by Number 33's whip.

The sight sparked cheers at the betting tables as many people jumped up excitedly.

"Haha… I won! Number 33 is the winner!"

"Heh… Awesome! I finally picked the right horse!"

"Damn it! If I'd known, I would've gone all in. This measly payout is hardly satisfying!"

Number 33's win had the whole crowd cheering and celebrating. Most of the gamblers were thrilled by their newfound winnings.

But for some, there was a pang of regret for playing it too safe. When they held the celestial stones in hand, that regret only intensi

    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

    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

    Tristan jumped onto the ship's rail first, using a jumping piranha as a springboard. His figure blurred into a trail of afterimages across the wave crests.Sensing the threat, the Piranha King's massive jaws snapped open, revealing two rows of fangs gleaming with toxic blue light. A wave of putrid breath rolled out, nearly suffocating anyone nearby."Now!" Tristan hurled the explosive pack toward the Piranha King's belly while slashing through the fish swarming around his ankles. As the fuse burned out, he used the explosion's shockwave to flip back onto the ship. A thunderous blast rocked the sea. The Piranha King's body convulsed violently as dark green blood splattered like a downpour.But the massive creature hadn't died. Instead, it thrashed the sea with its tail fin in fury, raising waves that nearly capsized the Stormrider.Clinging to the railing, Tristan watched the wound on the Piranha King's belly heal at a visible rate. His heart sank as he realized the monster had

    Nobody expected the Abyssal Piranhas to pack such devastating power under the Piranha King's command. With one ramming attack, they had snapped a 60-foot escort ship clean in two, defying all logic.This had evolved beyond just a school of fish into something more like demonic sea creatures. While ordinary Abyssal Piranhas were already terrifying, these evolved monsters weren't just bigger and more savage, but were almost impossible to kill.Despite the ship being equipped with every weapon imaginable, the crew was still somewhat overwhelmed when facing thousands of these piranhas.The sea wind whipped at Tristan's black serpent-embroidered battle robe, lifting it just enough to reveal the jewel-encrusted sword at his hip. His eyes lingered on the escort ship that had been split clean in two, watching fire flicker across its deck before the dark waters swallowed it whole."Pass my orders!" he ordered.He drew his sword and leveled it at the swarm. The steel glinted under the glow

    As Dustin landed on the damaged deck, the golden glow from his sword gradually dimmed. Dark green blood floated on the rain-soaked sea, spreading slowly across the surface.The typhoon had passed quietly in the distance. A break appeared in the storm clouds, letting through a ray of sunlight that fell across the battered Wavebreaker.Grace steadied herself against the rolling gunwale, watching the sea settle back into calm. She exhaled in relief.That Dreadkraken had already reached ultimate grandmaster level. It was enormously large and had terrifying regenerative abilities. Even the strongest grandmaster at that level wouldn't stand a chance against it. They were lucky Dustin was there. Otherwise, the casualties would have been devastating.The sea finally calmed down, and the storm gradually subsided. As Wavebreaker bobbed on the swells, the deck was littered with blood and splintered wood. Soldiers sat slumped on the deck, gasping for air, with fear still etched on every fa
