"Never seen before?!" The youth's gaze carried a dangerous gleam, and Bexia felt as if his soul had been pricked by needles.
"Hmm?! You arrived quickly!" The youth frowned, his gaze leaving Bexia and scanning behind him.
"Humans, you're all going to die!" A furious roar startled Bexia, and he turned around to see the champion Steel-Eating Crocodile standing on the island-sized monster. It was staring at them with bloodlust in its eyes.
In an instant, Orazo's tentacles reached out from beneath the sea surface, their aggression could be described as overwhelming. Bexia felt tiny and helpless under such immense power, unable to summon any resistance.
"Since that's the case, I will slay this barbaric beast today!" The youth swept a glance at Bexia, grabbed his shoulder violently, and threw him aside. He whispered in his ear, "I will ask you questions later, for now, stay out of the way!"
"Sword of Heavenly Fire!" The youth centered the longsword in his hand, and the previously water-filled sea suddenly turned scorching hot. The empty sky was now filled with crimson clouds, and as he raised his sword, the clouds immediately erupted into intense turbulence, gradually forming a gigantic flaming sword.
"Monarch!" The Blood Crocodile exclaimed. This young man before them was actually a Monarch-grade existence. Although Monarchs were rare in this Crystal Sea world, they were not uncommon in higher-level planes. The Blood Crocodile had once been fortunate enough to obtain a ten-million-level dimensional plane where Monarchs were plentifully present.
As for the Crystal Sea world, it was not surprising for Monarchs from other worlds to occasionally come here.
Champion! Lightning Force emanated from their souls, allowing them to control the power of the sky and earth within a certain range. However, Monarchs surpassed this level by being able to control their surroundings with a single movement. Unlike borrowing power, a Monarch could completely change the regional climate within a certain range, turning the battlefield into an advantageous environment. Thus, this range of power was known as a Monarch's domain.
However, such alterations consumed a tremendous amount of power.
But a Monarch's domain was not a true domain; it was merely a more appealing name. The true domain was the symbol of a Saint, a domain that exclusively belonged to its owner. It contained its own space, where the Saint was the true master, and was filled with immense energy that only the domain owner could utilize. No one else could exert any control within it.
It was imaginable that being pulled into a Saint's domain meant not only the inability to borrow surrounding energy but also constant suppression. More importantly, within the domain, everything was under the control of the Saint, so once inside, life and death lay in the hands of the domain owner.
"Slash!"
The youth swung the flaming sword in his hand with a single hand, and the kilometer-wide sword of flame descended upon the sea surface. The intense flame power evaporated large amounts of seawater, instantly revealing more than half of Orazo's hidden body beneath the sea.
"Roar!" Orazo bellowed, sensing a strong threat from this sword attack. Dozens of tentacles erupted from beneath the sea, entwined with each other, forming a towering pillar that met the youth's flaming sword head-on.
"Boom boom boom!" The sky trembled, and the sea roiled, the entire sky enveloped in flames, causing massive waves hundreds of meters high.
"Roar roar roar!" Orazo's painful roar came from within the flames, as burnt tentacles flew out from the explosion.
"So powerful!" Bexia, who was fleeing, looked back for a moment. Even though they were already tens of thousands of meters apart, they were still disturbed by the dispersing energy storm. The fishing rod nearly fell from the sky.
"Bang!" A black shadow suddenly hit the sea surface in front of Bexia, turns out it was a section of a sea monster's tentacle, which was now charred and emitting a hint of meaty fragrance.
"Good stuff!" Bexia casually collected it into the subspace. These kinds of creatures, sea monsters, have powerful vitality. Their flesh is good stuff; if consumed for a long time, it can even change one's physique, just like crystal fish. However, the effect of this sea monster meat is incomparable to that of crystal fish. Moreover, this section alone weighs at least a dozen tons. Bexia estimates that it could greatly enhance their strength.
Orasseo was not defeated by a single blow. Although it was seriously injured, it successfully angered this sea monster, one of the three overlords of the Crystal Sea world, known as the "Hundred-Handed Beast" Orasseo. Its real strength is yet to be seen.
"Hmm?!" The young man frowned when he saw this. He had just used his full strength on that blow, and although he had some tricks up his sleeve, it was impossible to use them against a brute sea monster that lacked intelligence.
"Since that's the case..." With a thought, the young man contacted his own warship. A crack opened in the sky, gradually revealing the form of a gigantic black warship.
"Restrict contact, use the railgun!"
"Understood!"
"Railgun charging, 3...2..."
The huge warship split in the middle, and a chaotic black energy gathered in front of its dark barrel, emitting a terrifying aura.
"Charging complete!" A cold and emotionless voice came from the warship.
"Fire the railgun!"
"Boom!" The black energy torrent instantly shot out from the barrel, causing the space it traversed to be densely covered with black cracks. As the locked target, Orasseo felt a sense of mortal danger. All of its severed tentacles quickly regenerated, and more tentacles emerged from beneath the sea surface.
The railgun's power is extremely terrifying; with a single shot, it could pierce through the continent. However, the tentacles of Orasseo are not simple soil; they are extremely tough. The railgun landing on them did not cause overwhelming destruction.
However, the railgun is still a powerful weapon. Orasseo couldn't withstand it, and in less than two seconds, all of its tentacles were pierced through. The black energy beam passed through its body in an instant, even penetrating through the sea water of unknown depth, landing directly on the pitch-black seabed.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The seabed of an unknown area trembled for a moment. Countless sea monsters lurking in the deep sea were all awakened, but when they sensed the power, they all fell into chaos.
As the targeted sea area, countless amounts of seawater evaporated in an instant. The waves caused by the explosion reached several thousand kilometers, as if a torrential rain was arriving.
The sea returned to calmness. Countless severed limbs floated on the sea surface, and the azure blue blood dyed the entire sea. A peculiar smell of blood filled the air, extremely unpleasant.
The young man did not care whether the sea monster Orasseo was really annihilated. He was confident in the power of the railgun. It was a weapon on the scale of a continent. With a few shots, even a continent would be sunk, let alone such a big dumb creature who wouldn't even dodge? A direct frontal hit, even saints would be injured!
"Huh! How did the aura disappear here?!" The young man left a mark on Bexia, but when he followed it into a patch of mist, his sensing abruptly ceased...
