Chapter 740: Chapter 740: Annihilating the Black Skull General

At the Black Skull General’s words, many people aboard the Sea Rose breathed a small sigh of relief.

The Black Skull General suddenly pointed, and a ray of black magical light fell upon a passenger on the Sea Rose.

The passenger screamed as their flesh was stripped from their bones, turning them into a living skeleton. They didn’t die, however, but continued to shriek, instilling fear in all who watched.

The Black Skull General grinned viciously. "Oh, and for the ten people who are slowest to disarm, I will grant them the rewards of Pain, Despair, and death."

"I... I’ll disarm! Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!"

Trembling all over, his face pale, Tur shouted as he quickly removed his pieces of Magic Equipment and Magic Scrolls, dropping them on the ground.

Seeing this, a flash of contempt and shocked anger crossed Enna’s eyes.

Tur’s actions set off a chain reaction. One by one, the Mages aboard the Sea Rose obediently removed their Magic Equipment and tossed it to the floor.

"Well done," the Black Skull General said. "However, it seems your friend here has no respect for me!"

A cold glint flashed in the Black Skull General’s eyes. He gave Tur a chilling smile, his gaze falling upon Shu Feng off to the side.

All eyes on the ship turned to focus on Shu Feng.

Shu Feng, however, was still sitting in his chair, leisurely sipping fine wine as if everything happening around him was of no concern—a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere.

"Paul, what are you doing? Get up and apologize to the great Black Skull General, now! Do you have a death wish?"

Tur’s face was pale as he ran over and reached out, trying to pull Shu Feng to his feet.

THUMP!

Before Tur’s hands could touch Shu Feng, they seemed to hit an invisible barrier, and he was sent flying aside.

Shu Feng said calmly, "Black Skull General, kneel. I’ll give you one chance to serve me."

"What bold words. Who do you think you are?"

The Black Skull General’s eyes narrowed. Without a change in expression, he covertly cast a Detection Magic. Strange, faint ripples swept toward Shu Feng.

The moment the waves from the Detection Magic touched Shu Feng, they vanished without a trace, causing the Black Skull General’s heart to sink.

Only two kinds of people could resist his Detection Magic: an expert whose power far surpassed his own, or a Mage wielding a Secret Treasure that blocked such spells.

The failure of his Detection Magic made the Black Skull General hesitate. He worried he might have actually run into a genuine Legend.

"Who the hell do you think you are, daring to speak to the General like that?! You’re courting death!"

A vicious glint flashed in the eyes of a Pirate Mage of the Great Mage Level. He chanted an incantation, and a ten-meter-long Ice Long Spear materialized, shooting toward Shu Feng.

Enna’s expression changed. ’Oh no, this is the Black Skull General’s test!’

"I just wanted to travel in peace. But you dared to attack me. For that, you can all die."

Shu Feng sighed softly. His body was instantly wreathed in Flame Elements as a terrifying Flame Serpent emerged from behind him and swallowed the Ice Long Spear in a flash.

HISS!

With a soft sound, the Ice Long Spear instantly vaporized, turning into a puff of steam before disappearing.

In the next instant, the terrifying Flame Serpent engulfed the Pirate Mage, turning him into a human torch who let out a bloodcurdling scream.

The Black Skull General’s expression changed drastically. "Attack! Kill him!" he roared.

The Pirate Mages began chanting frantically. Fireballs, Ice Cones, curses, and all manner of other spells bombarded Shu Feng.

A ghostly light flashed in the eyes of the ten-meter-tall, giant black skeleton. It spread its fingers, and a volley of Bone Arrows wreathed in eerie, spectral flames shot toward Shu Feng.

"Flame Dragon Technique!"

Countless flames swirled around Shu Feng’s body, coalescing into a terrifying Flame Dragon. It incinerated all the Pirate Mages’ incoming attacks before lunging directly at the Black Skull General.

As soon as the Bone Arrows entered the Flame Dragon, they were instantly incinerated and purified, turning to dust that scattered on the wind.

The Black Skull General’s face fell. He retreated rapidly, abandoning the giant black skeleton and tearing apart a Tier Five Magic Scroll.

A torrent of berserk Water Elements erupted, drawing in the dense ambient Water Elements to form a giant, hundred-meter-long water serpent that lunged at the Flame Dragon.

TSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

The colossal Flame Dragon and the water serpent collided violently, sending up massive clouds of steam.

Before the Flame Dragon, the hundred-meter-long water serpent was utterly overwhelmed. It was easily evaporated, collapsing into steam and dissipating completely.

The terrifying Flame Dragon, only slightly dimmed, instantly swallowed the giant black skeleton.

Incinerated by the Flame Dragon, the giant black skeleton gave off clouds of black smoke before turning to ash and scattering on the wind.

"A Legend!!"

The Black Skull General’s face fell as he retreated in a panic.

A brilliant light shone in Enna’s eyes as she cried out, "A Legendary Mage! Paul, you’re really a Legendary Mage!"

Among the different types of magic, Water Magic is the natural counter to Flame Magic. However, if the Flame Magic is an entire tier higher than the Water Magic, it becomes very difficult for Water Magic to suppress Flame Magic.

Only the magic of a Legendary Mage could so easily crush the Five-stage Water Magic Giant Water Snake Technique.

"A Legendary Mage!!"

"How could a Legendary Mage be here?!"

"Damn it!!"

...

Hearing Enna’s words, the faces of the Pirate Mages from the Black Skull drained of color, and looks of terror filled their eyes.

A Legendary Mage was a terrifying existence with combat power comparable to the Demigod Level. In the Gulondo World, a single Legendary Mage was a monstrous entity capable of suppressing a small nation on their own.

Throughout the entire Gulondo World, only the Four Great Pirate Kings were Legendary Mages. The Five Great Pirate Generals were merely Great Mages.

A single Legendary Mage was powerful enough to destroy the entire Black Skull Pirate Corps.

’A Legendary Mage!! He’s actually a Legendary Mage! Thank goodness I didn’t offend him. Thank goodness, thank goodness!’

Tur stared at Shu Feng, dumbfounded, his legs trembling.

A Legendary Mage was a terrifying existence that even His Majesty the Emperor of the Engman Empire had to respect—a great figure at the apex of the Gulondo World. If one were to casually swat a small fry like Tur, no one would dare to object. The Tur Family would even take the initiative to offer an apology, presenting Tur’s entire immediate family branch to beg for Shu Feng’s forgiveness.

"Go!"

Shu Feng pointed, and the terrifying Flame Dragon lunged straight for the Black Skull General.

"Sea Dragon Cannon!"

The moment the Black Skull General landed on the deck of the Black Skull, he began to chant. The ship glowed as countless Curse Seals lit up across its hull. The surrounding sea churned, and the waves gathered to form a terrifying Water Cannon that blasted toward the Flame Dragon.
