Chapter 64 Coming on Water
"Look over there!"
Someone pointed at the huge black shadow still swimming underwater, their voice losing control.
Manstein in the command room had a look in his eyes that... "solemn" was an understatement.
Actually, he didn't need to look at it at all.
Because his Word of Power, the Serpent, had already sent him a message.
In the realm of snakes, a colossal creature is rising.
At a depth of eighty meters underwater, there is an immense and terrifying amount of heat, and the chaotic yet stabilizing rhythms of life are gradually returning to normal.
It wasn't the corpse of the Dragon King they had killed that floated up, but a real, living Dragon King.
The water surface began to burn.
This is not a metaphor, but a real fire spreading across the river, with endless bubbles rising in the water and exploding in an instant.
The scalding white steam instantly engulfed the entire body of water.
Manstein closed his eyes in anguish.
At this moment, Manstein would have preferred his Word of Power to be something else, something offensive or healing, or even something self-destructive, rather than the current situation.
— So that he wouldn't be forced to see everything clearly.
At that moment, he deeply understood the feeling of a frog being swallowed alive by a snake.
In the mist, the enormous dragon's eye appeared and disappeared, like a golden lantern in the night sky, coldly watching the iron-hulled boats on the river.
The Dragon King did not die.
Manstein exhaled slowly; now, they only had one last option left.
Like its predecessor, the new Moniach possesses a self-destruct capability.
Their last resort was to launch a suicide charge, using the warship's own power to crash into the Dragon King and explode.
"...It is an honor to work with you all."
Manstein had prepared his last words.
He thought that perhaps he was only suited to be a person in charge of discipline.
Now the entire crew is going to die trying to kill Dragon King Norton.
They suffered heavy losses. Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, and Caesar, who were considered to have unlimited potential and could lead the next generation of dragon slayers, are likely to all perish here.
"Will I become a sinner in this world of dragon slaying? First Lu Mingfei—"
"hiss--"
A heavy, booming hiss interrupted Manstein's thoughts.
It was the Dragon King, who once again floated on the river surface, spreading his wings that blotted out the sky and the moon.
The violent wind pressure spread outwards from it, forcefully blowing the mist on the water's surface into a huge white ring.
Manstein was able to see the part of the Dragon King that had been hit through the telescope.
In the Dragon King's abdomen.
The Storm Torpedo pierced its tough scales, penetrating deep into its flesh, creating a huge, gruesome wound, with the torpedo still embedded inside.
What's truly despairing is—
The torpedo had begun to melt, its metal turning into glowing molten iron that flowed out and quickly solidified on its surface, forming a temporary protective shell.
Alchemy.
flame.
This is the authority of the King of Bronze and Fire.
It can be called a miracle.
Manstein found it hard to imagine whether their suicide attacks could really solve the problem.
As an atheist, he genuinely felt an urge to pray at that moment.
Whom do you want to pray to?
They can descend from the heavens like divine soldiers.
"Back off."
The thought had barely crossed Manstein's mind when he frowned.
He hadn't expected himself to be so cowardly; how could the thought of retreating even pop into his mind at such a crucial moment?
"Back off."
Suddenly, Manstein's eyes widened; the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
"Back off! Retreat!"
That wasn't a request, that was an order!
As if paying homage to a king, all the 'snakes' in Manstein's serpent domain bowed their heads in submission.
Manstein's Word of Power was once again forcibly taken over, and a grand will filled his mind.
He could neither hesitate nor think; he could only roar out and begin faithfully carrying out his mission.
"All ships—backward! Reverse!!!"
Fog filled the ship, and everyone instinctively followed the sound.
The rudder spun sharply.
The massive steel behemoth, the New Moniach, drifted almost perfectly across the river.
Huge splashes of water mixed with mist, eventually forming a cone-shaped wave curtain that surged forward, pointing directly at the misty vacuum zone on the Dragon King's side.
At the tip of the cone—
A figure emerged from the mist!
It was like a sharp knife piercing the circle created by the Dragon King, or like a bullet tearing through the night.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!!!!"
The rapid splashing of water created a sound like the intense drumming in a Peking Opera.
Everyone could see the figure clearly.
He carried a two-meter-long saber on his back, and had swords hanging at his waist.
His bare upper body gleamed with a cold, hard sheen in the light cast by the Dragon King, his muscles taut and sharp.
In the darkness, the gold in his eyes stretched into a thin, dangerous straight line.
Her tattered top was torn and wrapped into a skirt, while the bottom of her wetsuit clung to her legs as she stood on the water's surface.
Lu Mingfei!
Divine soldiers descend from heaven!
Perhaps Manstein's prayers worked, and a divine being who could stand on water came to their rescue!
Lu Mingfei looked at the Dragon King in front of him, which was emitting heat and light.
Then he looked at Norton, who was on top of the Dragon King's head, manipulating the huge dragon's body like Dr. Zomboss.
Or rather, Old Tang.
"Alright, it really was you."
Lu Mingfei sneered.
"Now's not the time for you to treat me to tacos, Bloodlust!"
Instantly, my heart pounded like a war drum.
The gold in Lu Mingfei's eyes was so rich it seemed to be overflowing.
He could clearly feel his skin becoming firmer, his strength increasing, and the rage within him wanting to be unleashed.
But that wasn't all! Lu Mingfei used the secret technique that allowed the first mate to consume food to enhance his physical abilities.
"Ten thousand millet grains nourish the decisive battle!"
Using the dual amplification technology, Lu Mingfei felt he had reached a new level in an instant.
Everything in the world seemed to slow down in his eyes, not as slow as time itself, but it was definitely slow.
There is a type of lizard called the basilisk lizard, which can run on the water by treading water at high speed and using its large feet.
This is why Lu Mingfei can run on water.
Now, his speed is so fast that the water feels as solid to him as the ground.
He could even feel the water slowly engulfing his feet like a swamp as he stood there.
But as soon as he took a step forward, the water became solid again.
The Dragon King held his head high, while Old Tang above him looked down at him.
Lu Mingfei was amused.
His legs suddenly exerted force, his muscles bulged instantly, and then he leaped, flipping his body in the air, stretching it to its limit, and then—
Use your leg!
Those thick, strong legs, clad in a diving suit, lashed out like white steel whips at the Dragon King's neck.
"boom--!!!!"
A dull, heart-stopping bang exploded.
Everyone on the ship who was watching the battle was stunned.
In their view, just as Lu Mingfei sprinted to the Dragon King, he leaped into the water, and a terrifying ripple spread rapidly from Lu Mingfei as the center.
Like a powerful hand smoothing out the wrinkles on a piece of paper, the once turbulent river surface, now calm and undisturbed, experienced a brief moment of profound stillness.
then--
Extreme stillness instantly transforms into extreme motion!
A white afterimage struck the Dragon King like an arrow released from a bow, followed by a heavy thud.
The enormous dragon head seemed to have taken a heavy left hook, its head suddenly turning to one side.
Immediately after that, a colossal wave erupted at the center of the ripple!
The white crests were instantly dispersed by the shockwaves created by Lu Mingfei's punch to the Dragon King, even drawing an absurd rainbow in the night and firelight.
And the Dragon King—
He was kicked so hard that he was flipped over onto the river!
