Chapter — The Ocean Parts Before the Calamity
The sea was restless.
Waves crashed violently against the rocky shoreline as dark clouds gathered above the horizon. Thousands of Morlock warriors stood along the beach, their massive bodies casting long shadows over the sand.
Behind them stood Draven's army.
Undead knights.
Blood Lancers.
Corrupted beasts.
Gargoyles perched across jagged rocks.
Corrupted Stalker Ravens circled the sky like living shadows.
At the center of it all stood Draven.
The wind whipped around him as he stepped toward the edge of the ocean.
Prince Varuk, the Morlock prince, watched nervously.
No creature from land had ever commanded the sea.
Yet the aura radiating from Draven made even the ocean feel… cautious.
Draven slowly raised his hand toward the horizon.
His palm began glowing black.
The veins in his arm bulged violently.
The evil god stigma burned across his back like molten fire.
His crimson eyes flared.
Then—
He spoke one word.
"Telekinesis."
The Ocean Obeys
The sea exploded.
The water trembled violently as an invisible force tore through it.
For a moment the entire ocean seemed to resist.
The pressure of the deep sea mana surged like a furious beast.
Then—
The impossible happened.
The ocean split apart.
A massive wall of water rose on both sides, forming a colossal corridor stretching deep into the sea.
Gasps erupted across the army.
Morlocks stared in shock.
Even the undead knights turned their skulls toward Draven.
Prince Varuk whispered in disbelief.
"The sea… obeys him…"
But Draven wasn't finished.
His hand clenched tighter.
The ocean corridor began to rotate.
Water spun violently around the army.
A colossal whirlpool formed beneath them.
The spinning currents became a moving pathway.
A massive spiraling tunnel through the sea.
Draven lowered his hand.
"Move."
The monster army stepped forward.
The whirlpool carried them into the ocean like a giant conveyor of raging water.
C3's Realization
Walking within the spiraling water corridor, C3 stared in pure awe.
The water spun around them like a hurricane, yet not a single drop touched the army.
A1 glanced toward him.
"What's wrong?"
C3 pushed his glasses up.
His voice was quiet but filled with amazement.
"This…"
"This is impossible."
A1 frowned.
"What do you mean?"
C3 gestured toward the ocean walls.
"Each particle of ocean water holds enormous mana pressure."
"Sorcerers trying to manipulate it are usually crushed by the force."
He pointed toward Draven ahead of them.
"But our lord…"
C3's eyes shone.
"He didn't just move the ocean."
"He dominated it."
A1 smirked.
"Well…"
"He is our lord."
The Ocean Floor
The army descended deeper into the sea.
The sunlight above faded.
Strange glowing plants illuminated the ocean floor.
Massive coral structures stretched across the seabed.
Ancient shipwrecks lay buried in sand.
And then—
They saw it.
An underwater city.
A fortress built from jagged coral towers and black volcanic rock.
Thousands of creatures surrounded it.
The Piranha Warrior Tribe.
The Enemy
The Piranha warriors were terrifying.
Their bodies were muscular and covered in silver scales.
Their mouths were filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth.
Their eyes glowed with bloodlust.
Thousands of them swarmed around the coral fortress like a living storm.
Behind them stood larger creatures.
Massive armored crabs.
Sea serpents.
Giant jellyfish monsters.
And at the center—
A monstrous creature the size of a building.
The Poison Stinger Crab Beast.
Its shell was covered in dark purple spikes.
A massive venomous stinger extended from its tail.
Green poison bubbles leaked into the surrounding water.
And chained behind it—
A giant Morlock.
The Morlock King.
He was wounded but still alive.
Prince Varuk clenched his fists.
"My father…"
The War Begins
The Piranha warriors noticed the approaching whirlpool.
They froze.
Then panic spread across their ranks.
"What is that?!"
"The ocean is moving!"
The whirlpool stopped.
Draven's army stood on the ocean floor.
The ocean walls still spinning around them.
Draven looked at the enemy army.
Then he spoke calmly.
"Kill them."
Chaos
The battlefield exploded.
Morlocks roared and charged forward.
Thousands of Piranha warriors rushed to meet them.
The ocean floor turned into a battlefield of claws and teeth.
Blood spread through the water.
A1's Slaughter
A1 stepped forward slowly.
His sword glowed silver.
A swarm of Piranha warriors rushed him.
He sighed.
Then swung his blade.
"Sword Aura — Crescent Execution."
A massive silver wave tore through the water.
The pressure of the attack sliced through dozens of Piranha warriors instantly.
Their bodies split apart.
The ocean turned red.
A1 smirked.
"Too easy."
B2's Elemental Rain
From the cliffs above the battlefield, B2 drew his bow.
Elemental energy gathered around the arrow.
He fired.
"Elemental Barrage."
Hundreds of arrows appeared in the water like glowing comets.
They rained down on the battlefield.
Explosions of lightning and ice erupted across the Piranha ranks.
Entire squads were annihilated.
C3's Spirit Magic
C3 raised his staff.
Behind him appeared his summon.
The Hellflame Bison.
Its body burned with molten fire.
Despite being underwater, the flames burned violently.
C3 smiled.
"Let's test our new power."
"Spirit Magic — Hellflame Stampede."
The bison charged forward.
Every step created underwater explosions of fire and magma.
Piranha warriors were crushed instantly.
The Gargoyle General
High above the battlefield, the Gargoyle General hovered with his wings spread.
His magma battle axe glowed.
He pointed it downward.
"Gravity Manipulation."
Suddenly the water pressure increased around dozens of enemies.
Their bodies were crushed instantly.
The Gargoyle roared.
"Destroy them!"
Samuel's Death Knights
Samuel raised his sword.
Black energy surged around him.
"Death Knights!"
Hundreds of undead knights charged forward.
Samuel slashed downward.
"Claw of the Underworld."
A massive skeletal claw burst from the ocean floor.
It crushed an entire squad of Piranha warriors.
Samuel's hollow eyes burned with dark fire.
The Poison Stinger Crab Beast
The massive crab beast finally moved.
Its enormous claw slammed into the ocean floor.
BOOM.
The shockwave sent dozens of monsters flying.
Its venomous stinger fired forward.
A Morlock warrior was instantly pierced.
Poison spread through his body.
Prince Varuk roared.
"You monster!"
He charged forward with the Sea Storm Trident.
The crab beast screeched.
The ocean trembled.
The true boss battle had begun.
Draven Moves
Draven watched silently.
His eyes glowed.
The battlefield was chaos.
Thousands of monsters fighting.
Blood mixing with the ocean currents.
Then—
The Poison Stinger Crab Beast turned toward him.
It sensed something.
A greater predator.
Draven slowly drew his weapon.
The Abyssal Blade.
Dark energy spread through the ocean like ink.
The sea itself grew quiet.
Every creature froze.
Draven stepped forward.
His voice echoed across the battlefield.
"You."
The crab beast roared.
Draven smiled.
"Let's see if you survive."
Then—
He vanished.
The next moment—
A black slash split the ocean floor.
And the true monster of the sea realized something terrifying.
It wasn't the apex predator here.
Draven was.
