Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Fei flipped his fingers and shot out many golden sword energies, and the sword energies dashed forward and cut through all those tentacles. Then, the king waved his hands and pulled back those sailors who were already dragged out of the ship.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the same time, dashes of green lights shot down into the sea from the mainsail, looking like missiles. With these green light beams dashing into the water, more than a dozen deep holes appeared in the ocean, each having a diameter of about one meter.
In the next moment, a series of whines and groans sounded underwater.
The surface of the ocean that was relatively calm suddenly became violent. Huge waves appeared as if terrifying beasts were struggling and stirring the water from underneath. Then, gushes of dark-red waves rolled onto the surface, dyeing the water within one square kilometer red.
The most important captive on [Brilliance], Buckingham, appeared on the deck, and he shouted and commanded the sailors who were running around and escaping.
With Buckingham’s appearance, the sailors went back to their original positions and controlled [Brilliance] to the best of their abilities. Gradually, the battleship that was shaking and moving disorderly due to the rolling waves stabilized itself.
At this moment, the violent sea also calmed down, and the giant waves died down.
The corpses of six deep-sea giant beasts floated onto the surface of the water.
These corpses were each more than 100 meters long, almost catching up to the size of [Brilliance]. Their skin that had a red glow to it was covered by a thick liquid, making them look like giant octopuses. Each of these beasts had an enormous mouth which had many layers of teeth, and they each had 16 tentacles that were more than 100 meters along. These tentacles were the things that almost pulled the sailors into the ocean.
These deep-sea giant beasts were the ship killer in the ocean; numerous people die at sea because of them.
Unfortunately for them, they ran into Fei and these Chambordians who were ‘vicious beasts’ from the land.
In the end, they were all killed by [Son of Wind] Torres’ impressive strength and shocking archery skills.
Torres jumped onto one giant corpse and carefully observed for a while. Suddenly, he gasped as if he discovered something, and he jumped back onto the ship and reported to Fei,
These giant beasts don’t have any magic energies or warrior energies; they can’t be counted as demon beasts. They only possess terrifying physical strength due to their large sizes. However, I found these on them…
As he said that, Torres waved his hands and showed the things that he got from the corpses.
They looked like big pieces of bronze armor. Due to their long time in the water, some aquatic organisms were living on them such as little seaweeds. After wiping them clean, the simple patterns and marks on these bronze plates indicated that they were uniquely forged, and the back hooks on them were probably used to inlay these metal plates onto the beasts.
Are these sea creatures controlled and bred by someone?
Fei was very surprised as he thought,
Who could have the ability to raise such giant beasts?
Although this guess was too wild, the bronze plates in Torres’ hands proved everything.
Fei jumped onto the floating corpses with the nine students including Louise, Pato, and Brand. After observing, they noticed that there were at least 30 to 40 bronze plates on each deep-sea giant beast, and the bronze plates covered the vital points on them except for their tentacles. These bronze plates were arranged in such a way that it was impossible for these bronze plates to grow out of these sea creatures’ bodies naturally.
Chapter 770: Mysterious Power (Part Two)
These aren’t ordinary bronze material. They are made from Seahorse Bronze, and they could only be found in the depths of the sea.
Out of the nine university students, a young man who had dark skin and short black hair observed more carefully and reported to Fei.
His name was Oscar, and he was a unique student in the university.
Oscar didn’t like warrior energy or magic energy. Instead, he was more interested in alchemy and all other strange fields. In Chambord’s Civil and Military University, he took metal smelting and magic derivative courses which were two classes that weren’t popular at all. However, he was extremely talented in these fields, and he was well-liked by people such as Akara, Cain, and Charsi. He could be considered as a little mad scientist himself.
This kind of Seahorse Bronze could only be found in the deep sea, and ordinary people aren’t able to go that deep. Also, it is heard that only the fire in the sea could melt the Seahorse Bronze. The regular flames on land could barely change its property.
Since he could finally get the chance to show off his knowledge in front of the king, Oscar was no longer adult-like and told Fei everything that he knew in excitement.

…
Oscar collected more than a dozen intact metal plates made from Seahorse Bronze, and he wanted to run some experiments on them. Also, he wanted to study the patterns on them, and he felt like he could get more information.
After stopping for about an hour, [Brilliance] continued moving forward slowly.
However, a sudden storm appeared in the middle of the night. The dark clouds were low in the sky, pressing onto the ocean. It was dark; only the silver lightning bolts that were flashing in the sky lit up the area momentarily. Except for that, it was pitch-black everywhere. In the end, the rain was falling from the sky in waves as if the sky were collapsing.
[Brilliance] was finally challenged by the power of nature.
This time, the No.1 Captive, King Buckingham of Leon, stepped up. As one of the key commanders of Leon’s navy, he was very used to this situation. He issued orders to the other captives and made them control the ship safely.
They were only able to endure through this storm when lights appeared on the horizon.
However, there were still casualties.
Six sailors were taken by the enormous waves, disappearing altogether. Although Torres saved another ten sailors in time, they knocked into stairs and other things, losing their ability to work temporarily. Therefore, they had to rest in the cabin.
The Chambordians who were used to living on land experienced the power of the ocean for the first time.
After one night’s turbulence, they were all feeling dizzy. Although they were powerful, they had thrown up many times. In the end, they had to lie in their beds and rest.
Only Oscar was able to somehow endure through this. While his classmates were throwing up at the edge of the deck, he was studying the Seahorse Bronze with interest as if nothing were happening to him.
Unexpectedly, [Brilliance] was attacked by the deep-sea giant beasts again at noon.
This time, more than 20 beasts came and attacked together, almost flipping [Brilliance] upside-down. If Fei didn’t suddenly unleash his power and kill more than a dozen deep-sea giant beasts, the people on the ship could only swim toward the Leon Empire.
This sudden attack made it clear that it wasn’t a coincidence.
[Brilliance] was being targeted by a mysterious force in the ocean.
