Chapter 2416: The Beginning of the Great War

"Fire!"

Under the black sky, the sea waves surged up and down, and dozens of black storm tornadoes were galloping wantonly on the sea surface.

The flesh and blood of dragon beasts and marine creatures left over from the previous great battle had almost dyed the sea surface reddish-brown. And with this flesh and blood as the cornerstone, the huge ritual array of the 【Dragon-Feast Sect】 was unfolded. After the ritual group of the 【Dragon-Feast Sect】 threw a pitch-black stone statue and a mass of pitch-black flesh and blood into the ocean, accompanied by wild laughter, the ancient and vicissitudes of the windpipe sound from the oldest abyss deep in the sea resounded throughout the sea area.

After causing large-scale chaos in the city on the seventh day of every week several times, the most stringent summoning ritual conditions were finally met. The evil thing whose body was a seven-tailed stone statue hidden deep in the seabed, which had been dormant since the end of the Fifth Era due to unknown reasons, was finally about to leave the deep sea once again and show its power to mortals.

Black water kept surging from the seabed to the sea surface, dyeing the entire sea area ink-black, and the sound of the windpipe gradually became loud. The strange tone made everyone in the sea area feel inexplicable fear. Craggy strange rocks and coral reefs rose one after another in the seabed earthquake, as if the palace of the ancient one was taking a step ahead to welcome the arrival of the ancient evil thing.

It was just that the first thick tentacle like a stone pillar had just stretched out from under the water, and the "Radiant Messenger," which had come across the sea, blasted it back into the sea with one shot.

Restored from a medium-sized cruise ship to its original appearance, the "Radiant Messenger" was now glowing with indigo light throughout its hull. Dragon scales covered the surface of the ship, and huge dragon wings were curled on both sides of the ship. It was just that the figurehead was not the appearance of the ship girl herself, but a ferocious dragon head holding a cannon barrel.

In addition to this main gun, hundreds of cannons protruded from the shooting holes on the side of the ship, and then, through the manipulation of the ship girl in the captain's cabin, she converted her massive spirit into the purest energy and blasted it out.

The heavy rain could not cover the radiance of the giant ship, and the ships of the orthodox church, the 【Dragon-Feast Sect】, and the 【Tyranny Club】 scattered in the sea area were not as dazzling as the "Radiant Messenger."

The church didn't expect that there would be such powerful reinforcements, but seeing the witch soaring from that ship, they knew that this was another handiwork of the 【Witch Council】.

*Ooom—*

A dull roar came from under the water, and the tentacle that had just been bombarded stretched out from under the water again. The Thirteenth-Tier "Beast Hunter" Bill Camola of the Church of Nature jumped up from a dark reef protruding from the water and floated in the air. Behind him, the Thirteenth-Tier life ring bloomed with light accompanied by a long-prepared strange technique:

"Strange Technique - Beast Sealing!"

A light ring composed of three strings of runes took shape in his hands, and then the rune strings were thrown out, colliding head-on with the first tentacle of the evil thing's body that was protruding from the sea surface.

The emerald light turned into a rune seal and was immediately engraved on the tentacle. It stopped completely in the air as if time had frozen.

And below him, the Thirteenth-Tier Shushi of the Church of Dawn, "Hand of Radiance" Joshua Brooklyn, punched the sealed tentacle with a giant palm protruding from his life ring behind him. In a moment, the entire stone pillar-like tentacle shattered into fragments and fell toward the ocean. The rumbling falling sound was the weakest sound in this chaotic sea area.

Dark clouds covered the sky, and the rain and snow were even more violent than just now.

"The summoning ritual of the Player of Seven Tails is irreversible, and its regenerative ability is extremely strong. No one in this era can completely eliminate it. But as long as the damage reaches the limit at one time, it will enter the deep sea by itself and enter the next round of dormancy!"

The loud voice came from the figurehead of the giant ship emitting azure light. Having studied this kind of evil thing since before dormancy and never forgetting the hatred, the ship girl naturally knew her opponent best.

In order to deal with the God-Descending ritual in the city and prevent the unknowable-level relic from losing control, there were only five Thirteenth-Tier Shushi on the sea battlefield at this moment. But besides the Thirteenth-Tier, the fleet composed of high-tier Shushi was still fighting fiercely on this scarlet ocean with the dragon beasts cultivated by the 【Dragon-Feast Sect】.

The addition of Miss Aurora, Miss Sylvia, and the "Radiant Messenger" did not effectively change the situation of the battle, because as the strange windpipe sound became louder and louder amidst the gale, heavy rain, and surging waves, the violent rise of whispering elements and blasphemous elements even began to suppress the effect of divine arts.

*Ooom—*

Three giant stone pillar tentacles popped out from under the sea surface at the same time, rolling up seawater to form a monstrous wave that could submerge the entire Moon Bay City and rushed toward the port direction.

"Go back!"

The Thirteenth-Tier Dean of the Seksais Higher Medical College, "Iron Punisher" Professor Miller Stewart, stood on the water surface. After slapping his palms downward, a steel city wall like a phantom about several thousand meters long rose from under the water, forcefully holding up the power of nature.

The waves rolled backward. While the city wall dissipated, the Thirteenth-Tier Shushi of the Church of Peace, "War Marquis" Mr. Rubio, who was accumulating power behind the city wall, cooperated with the divine art ritual on the ships behind him and finally used the first Thirteenth-Tier strange technique belonging to him since the battle began.

Core Spirit Rune - Enlightenment 【War】, Miraculous Spirit Rune 【Weapon】, Whispering Spirit Rune 【Monster】, Blasphemous Spirit Rune 【Hunting】.

The Thirteenth-Tier Shushi's gorgeous life ring bloomed with spiritual light as the divine art ritual was enhanced, covering the entire sea area with spiritual light.

"Strange Technique - War Command! Respond to my call and fight for peace!"

This time, the spreading spiritual light was not affected by the tentacles of the evil thing, but the voice he shouted was still covered by the windpipe sound in the gale, rain, and snow.

Where the spiritual light spread, white dove symbols appeared in the eyes of one-fifth of the dragon beasts in the air, and then they immediately turned back to attack their companions. But the real effect of this strange technique was to stimulate the ordinary marine creatures that had died in large numbers under the water because of the appearance of the evil thing.

Flesh and blood gradually condensed together again, and under the effect of the strange technique, they revived as flesh-and-blood warriors without souls and floated to the sea surface.

These "war puppets" formed by the "War Command" automatically adapted to the war environment when they were formed. A small number maintained a posture conducive to underwater action, while most of them directly grew wings and flew into the sky, tangling with the dragon beasts that kept hindering the church's actions.

*Boom! *

Immediately afterward, amidst a loud noise that even shook the sky, a giant meteorite with black fire, at least half the size of Moon Bay, suddenly appeared above the night sky covered in thick mist.

The Thirteenth-Tier Shushi of the Church of Peace, "Hand of Annihilation" Mr. Clark Cavill, held an angel-level relic 【Star Realm Sovereignty】 in his left hand that kept annihilating the surrounding seawater in the shape of a dark black crown, and held the white dove holy emblem of the orthodox god 【Father of Peace】 high in his right hand.

The church was not unable to guess that the deep-sea evil thing—the Player of Seven Tails might descend. Therefore, although manpower was stretched, the relics prepared to deal with this evil thing were absolutely sufficient.

"Strange Technique - World-Destroying Stone!"

Everyone, including the cultists and the "Radiant Messenger," was retreating rapidly. Only the three tentacles of the evil thing stretched toward the sky, as if to actively contend with the falling meteorite.

"I didn't expect to see such a scene. The nature of this meteorite is very similar to our knight's 【Black Moon Mark】."

The two witches who landed on the ship were still discussing, and then they saw two more tentacles stretch out from the sea surface, but one of them was immediately blasted into the sea by the hundreds of light cannons of the Radiant Messenger flying on the sea surface. Miss Aurora and Miss Sylvia seemed to be able to hear Miss Ilith's laughter coming from the captain's cabin.

The remaining four tentacles, although they were also attacked by the church's Ringed Shushi, their attacks were not as effective as the light cannons on the "Radiant Messenger" which could be called "special attacks against 【Player of Seven Tails】."

So, while everyone was retreating from the sea area where the meteorite was about to fall, four tentacles stretched out from the seabed stretched straight toward the night sky. The windpipe sound at this moment seemed to have suppressed the wind and waves even more loudly, and the black rays shot out from the ends of the four tentacles first blasted the meteorite violently, and then the meteorite came into direct contact with the tentacles.

*Boom! *

Even Yin Luna, who was in Belindell Big Ben in the city center, could feel this vibration, and the girl with super-strong perception could even feel the chaotic elements and the tide of spirits erupting in the southern sea area.

And in the eyes of everyone on the sea battlefield, after the extremely dazzling light erupted, the surging waves almost overturned every ship on this sea surface.

Afterward, a huge black mushroom cloud rose amidst the gale, rain, and snow. This loud noise actually covered the strange windpipe sound, but after the explosion ended, the windpipe sound was even louder than before.

A total of seven tentacles appeared five at this time, which meant that the evil thing dormant deep in the sea had approached full appearance.

The pitch-black water surface could not reflect the moon and the sparse stars in the night sky, but the black mass that was getting bigger and bigger was constantly expanding under the water surface. The surrounding battle was still continuing, and the battle between the flesh-and-blood puppets and the cultists and illegal Ringed Shushi organizations allowed the church's Ringed Shushi to free up their hands to prepare to use the final means sufficient to make the evil thing dormant again.

But as a group of real dragons flew from the direction away from the coastline, things didn't seem to be that simple.

The high-tier Shushi met the enemy in the air again, and the five Thirteenth-Tier Shushi were preparing with serious faces.

This sea area far away from the port still had thin mist, but the decrease in visibility after the day and night conversion did not affect the vision because the moon was exceptionally bright at this time.

Suddenly everyone was startled, because under the deep sea, that huge pitch-black mass had approached the sea surface. Just before the ancient giant stone statue and more and more ancient temple building ruins and strange reefs floated out of the sea level, a loud dragon roar even suppressed the loud windpipe sound at this moment. **CHAPTER 2417**
