139 The Water Snake King, Danger Beyond Danger (1/2)

When Evan, Layla, and Emilia had arrived on the ship's deck, they, along with Joe, Breya and Rick could only look up in awe at the sight of a majestic creature. It seemed similar to that of an Indigenous Water Snake, but it was more than a few hundred meters large having a diameter of a dozen or so meters. It's glaring yellow eyes gazing at their location as if it could see through anything in the world.

...

”W-we were finished!” Joe said in horror as he looked at the monstrosity before his eyes, he knew there was absolutely nothing that could be done against the being.

Emilia and Layla fell helplessly on their knees while trembling, as only Breya, Rick, and Evan managed to keep some level of composure.

”Darn, how do we get out of this one?” Rick asked.

Breya wracked her mind but couldn't come up with anything, Evan, on the other hand, frowned while staring at the beast.

'If I recall right, this creature should be the ruler of this region; it wasn't normally a violent type, what could have provoked it?' Evan thought as he looked around the deck.

Yet, as he saw the corpses of the water snakes killed by Joe and the others, he couldn't help but smack his head while in thought, 'Shit, I had forgotten to warn them about this, how could I be so foolish?'

As if it didn't care about Evan's regret, nor the despair of the others, the Water Snake King opened its mouth and roared in a human tongue, ”Filthy humans, you shall pay for slaughtering my kind, prepare yourselves for death!”

”Bastard, if your shitty kids didn't attack us, would we even bother to fight them? Get lost!” Joe shouted as he tossed a piece of the dead water snake's corpse towards it provoking it even further.

The Water Snake King grew even more enraged. A towering amount of blue mana erupted from its body, causing the ocean to rise around him for a few hundreds of meters, looking no different from a calamity.

Evan seeing this, knew they have to risk it all, his body erupted with bright crimson Battle Power, as his Void Sword materialized when he shouted, ”Everyone, do your best to stay together, we have only one chance!”

”R-Right!” Layla and Emilia said hesitantly recovering their state of mind to a stable degree, as they stood close behind him in battle posture.

Rick, Joe, and Breya had also gathered around Evan in a battle formation. The Water Snake King didn't want to waste time; its golden eyes shone in a murderous light as it made a battle cry and ushered their ends, ”Live in despair at the bottom of my stomach!”

Instantly, its enormous body descended like a raging storm as the water geysers around it collapsed, sending giant tsunamis everywhere.

While everyone watched the giant maw approaching them with panicked eyes, they could do nothing as the creature was far more powerful and faster than them.
