Chapter 741: Blood Whale King

Chapter 741: Chapter 741: Blood Whale King

The Sea Dragon Cannon was the Black Skull’s ultimate weapon. It could draw upon the surrounding seawater to form a terrifying Water Cannon with power comparable to a Legendary Level water spell.

The Black Skull General had been able to dominate the seas precisely by using the Sea Dragon Cannon to defeat the Legendary Mages sent to hunt him down on multiple occasions.

The terrifying Flame Dragon and the Water Cannon collided violently. A massive cloud of steam billowed up as the two forces intertwined, canceling each other out until both collapsed into nothingness.

’That was close. I have to retreat immediately!’

The Black Skull General breathed a small sigh of relief and made up his mind.

The Black Skull General had no desire to provoke a Legendary Mage—not even a Flame Element one who was at a disadvantage on the open sea.

Every Legendary Mage had mastered all sorts of strange and terrifying magic. On top of that, there was no telling how many Magic Scrolls and pieces of Magic Equipment they possessed.

Just then, shadow tentacles silently surged from within the Black Skull General’s own shadow, lashing out to strike him.

Black Curse Seals materialized one after another as a black Magic Barrier enveloped the Black Skull General.

Fifth Rank Defense Magic: Black Light Shield!

This was the Fifth Rank Defense Magic enchanted on the Black Skull General’s Magic Robe, capable of withstanding a single strike from many forms of Legendary Magic.

As the strange shadow tentacles struck the Black Light Shield, a distorted, eerie light pulsed. The tentacles pierced through the shield’s astonishing Defense Power and stabbed into the Black Skull General’s body.

"No!!"

The Black Skull General screamed in agony, his eyes flashing with utter terror. His body was instantly consumed by the eerie shadow, and his Spirit and Mana slipped from his control.

"Die!"

Shu Feng snapped his fingers.

BANG!

The Black Skull General’s body instantly exploded, scattering into countless pieces across the deck of the Black Skull.

"The Black Skull General is dead!!"

"The Black Skull General, who terrorized the four seas, is dead!!"

"A Legendary Mage! He must be a Legendary Mage! Only a Legendary Mage could be so powerful!"

"..."

A thrill of excitement passed through the nobles aboard the Sea Rose as they witnessed the scene.

The Black Skull General was one of the Five Great Pirate Generals who terrorized the four seas, commanding over three thousand pirates and numerous Pirate Mages. He was a dreaded pirate whose very name struck fear across the waves. The Engman Empire had dispatched Legendary Mages to hunt him down on several occasions, but he had always managed to escape.

To see such a legendary figure of the seas killed so easily by Shu Feng naturally left the nobles overjoyed.

’Hmm, Paul’s soul is showing signs of melting! It hasn’t started to melt completely yet... Is it because my reputation hasn’t spread far enough?’

In the Gulondo World, there were two ways to become a Legendary Mage. The first was to achieve numerous great feats in battle, becoming so well-known that one was publicly acknowledged as a Legend. The second was to be vetted, confirmed, and officially announced as a Legendary Mage by a major magical institution like the Seven-Day Tower.

The second path was not an option for Shu Feng, so he had chosen the first.

"Will you submit to me, or will you die?"

Shu Feng’s gaze swept over the distant pirates, his voice ice-cold.

The pirate ships that had been following the Black Skull immediately scattered, fleeing frantically in all directions.

The pirates aboard the Black Skull were all vicious men with blood on their hands. They knew they were no match for Shu Feng, but they had no intention of becoming his captives.

The Engman Empire’s policy toward pirates had always been to hang them from the mast or at the nearest port upon capture.

The pirates on the Black Skull were all ruthless men, and each of them had a bounty on their head. Since killing them was a surefire way to earn a hefty reward, the pirates were naturally unwilling to place their fates in Shu Feng’s hands and hope for mercy.

’I’m not limited to just Flame Magic!’

Shu Feng smiled faintly and began to chant an incantation.

A blue light flashed and the surrounding temperature plummeted. Within the radiance, a massive blue Ice Dragon formed of ice and snow materialized and opened its maw.

A blast of frosty white air shot from its mouth toward the pirates of the Black Skull Pirate Corps.

CRACK! CRACKLE!

Wherever the frosty air passed, the pirate ships were instantly frozen solid, turning into white ice sculptures that stood silently on the surface of the sea.

The Mages and pirates aboard the ships struggled for only a moment before they were frozen solid, becoming part of the grim sculptures.

Enna’s eyes shone with a brilliant light. "Incredible! So this is the power of a Legendary Mage... It’s terrifying! So strong! Every Legendary Mage is a horrifying, demigod-like existence. The legends are true!"

"Incredible! So that’s a Legendary Mage... How terrifying!"

"A Legendary Mage is truly a demigod, an existence closest to a Divine Spirit!"

"So strong!!"

"..."

Aboard the Sea Rose, many passengers stared at Shu Feng, their eyes shining with excitement. Although many among them were Mages themselves, it was the first time they had ever witnessed a terrifying, demigod-like being such as a Legendary Mage up close.

With a gesture, Shu Feng summoned an invisible Mage’s Hand, which snatched the Black Skull General’s Storage Ring and delivered it into his palm.

"Master Paul, the Black Skull General was one of my men! You dare to kill him? Are you declaring war on me?"

A cold, cruel voice echoed through the air.

A warship, over four hundred meters long and covered entirely in blood-red scales, approached from the distance. It looked just like a colossal blood whale.

Trailing behind the massive Blood Whale Battleship were more than thirty other warships, forming a terrifying fleet.

The moment Enna recognized the colossal Blood Whale Battleship, her face went pale and she cried out, "The Blood Whale King, one of the Four Great Pirate Kings! Why is he here?"

"The Blood Whale King! What’s he doing here?"

"Dammit, it’s the Blood Whale King! One of the Four Great Pirate Kings!"

"..."

The moment the passengers on the Sea Rose saw the Blood Whale Battleship, all color drained from their faces, and their eyes filled with terror.

Of the Four Great Pirate Kings, the Blood Whale King was the most savage and cruel. He enjoyed skinning people alive to make them into various objects. His collection even included a room-divider screen made of human skin—a wicked Secret Treasure he had crafted from a Legendary Mage he had slain.

Each of the Four Great Pirate Kings was immensely powerful. They dominated the four seas, possessing incredible strength and influence.

While the Four Great Pirate Kings couldn’t compare to the legendary Pirate King Andesaru—who had dominated the Five Seas and even conquered the treacherous Devil’s Sea—they still possessed enough terrifying power to make even the Three Great Empires wary.
