Chapter — Strings Beneath the ocean
The ocean battlefield had already descended into chaos.
Blood clouded the waters.
Coral forests shattered under the pressure of battle.
Thousands of sea creatures clashed in a violent storm of claws, steel, and magic.
Yet at the center of it all stood two figures.
One was the colossal Poison Stinger Crab Beast, a monster whose shell was layered with poisonous spikes and ancient sea armor.
The other was Draven.
The demon who had split the ocean.
The ruler of the corrupted forest.
The creature every monster instinctively feared.
And now—
They rushed toward each other.
The Demon Charges
Draven's wings burst open behind him.
Dark energy spiraled around his body like smoke.
The Abyssal Blade in his hand trembled with power.
The ocean currents twisted violently around him as he accelerated forward like a missile.
The sea floor cracked beneath his feet.
The crab beast raised its enormous body, its claws grinding against the ocean rock.
Its eyes glowed a toxic green.
Draven lifted his sword.
Black lightning began crawling across the blade.
The energy crackled violently through the water.
Even the surrounding ocean began to vibrate.
Draven roared.
"Black Lightning Slash!"
He swung the blade downward.
A massive arc of black lightning exploded forward, slicing through the ocean itself.
The attack carved a glowing path through the battlefield.
Dozens of Piranha warriors caught in the shockwave were vaporized instantly.
The lightning slash raced toward the crab beast like a divine execution.
The entire battlefield froze.
Everyone expected devastation.
Everyone expected the sea monster to be torn apart.
But—
The crab didn't even move.
Effortless Defense
The Poison Stinger Crab slowly lifted one massive claw.
Then—
CLANG.
The black lightning slash smashed into the claw and dispersed like shattered glass.
Electric sparks scattered through the ocean.
The crab hadn't taken a single step back.
Its claw remained steady.
Unshaken.
Unharmed.
For a moment—
Silence swallowed the battlefield.
Even the Piranha warriors stopped fighting.
Bubbles slowly escaped from the crab beast's mouth.
The sound echoed through the water like laughter.
Mocking.
Draven.
The Sea Cannon
The crab slowly opened its massive claw.
The ocean around it began to distort.
Water condensed violently between its pincers.
A swirling sphere of compressed ocean formed.
C3's eyes widened in horror.
"That pressure…!"
The water sphere shrank further.
Condensing.
Compressing.
Until it became a small glowing orb of violent energy.
Then—
The crab snapped its claw forward.
The orb exploded.
A massive high-pressure water cannon erupted from its claw like a laser of pure ocean force.
The beam tore across the battlefield.
Everything in its path was obliterated.
Coral shattered.
Sand erupted into clouds.
The attack slammed straight into the monster army.
Devastation
The Undead Knights were the first to be hit.
The pressure of the water cannon crushed them instantly.
Armor shattered.
Skeleton bodies exploded into fragments.
Entire squads were wiped out in seconds.
Samuel's unit suffered catastrophic losses.
Blood Lancers were thrown across the battlefield.
Even Morlock warriors were crushed by the attack.
Prince Varuk roared in fury.
But the cannon was still coming.
Straight toward the core of Draven's army.
And then—
A massive shadow dropped from above.
Gargoyle General's Intervention
The Gargoyle General descended like a meteor.
His wings slammed open.
His magma battle axe burned with volcanic fire.
He roared.
"Gravity Lock!"
The surrounding water pressure increased violently.
The cannon's trajectory slowed slightly.
The gargoyle raised his axe.
Then—
He swung.
The magma battle axe collided with the water cannon.
BOOOOOM.
The ocean exploded.
Steam burst everywhere as magma met compressed water.
The shockwave blasted across the battlefield.
But the cannon was stopped.
The monster army survived.
The gargoyle general hovered in the boiling water, his wings flapping heavily.
His stone body cracked slightly from the impact.
But he stood firm.
Protecting the army.
Draven's Next Strike
Draven had already moved.
Using the distraction, he shot upward into the water.
His wings stretched wide.
Dark energy gathered around him again.
His crimson eyes locked onto the crab beast.
"Let's end this."
He dove downward like a black comet.
The Abyssal Blade aimed straight for the crab's head.
But then—
Something strange happened.
The Invisible Thread
An almost invisible string flickered through the water.
So thin it was nearly impossible to see.
The string struck Draven's head.
Softly.
Almost gently.
And yet—
Draven froze.
His body suddenly lost all strength.
The crimson glow in his eyes disappeared.
His wings collapsed.
His sword slipped from his hand.
Draven's body fell like a puppet whose strings had been cut.
He crashed onto the ocean floor.
Dust clouds erupted from the seabed.
Then—
Silence.
The Demon Falls
For a moment, no one moved.
Then panic exploded across the battlefield.
"LORD DRAVEN!"
A1 sprinted toward him.
B2 fired arrows wildly to cover the area.
C3 ran forward with his staff glowing.
Even the Morlock warriors hesitated.
Their new ruler had fallen.
Draven lay motionless.
His eyes were hollow.
His body completely still.
Like a lifeless corpse.
Confusion
A1 knelt beside him.
"Lord Draven!"
No response.
C3 scanned his body with magic.
His face turned pale.
"I can't sense his consciousness…"
B2 looked around the battlefield.
"What the hell just happened?"
Something was very wrong.
The crab beast hadn't done that.
That invisible thread…
Had come from somewhere else.
Something else was watching this battle.
Samuel's Mission
While chaos spread across the battlefield…
Another scene unfolded behind enemy lines.
Samuel, the Death Knight, had quietly moved away from the main battle.
He stood behind the chained Morlock King.
The massive sea king was wounded.
Chains of enchanted coral wrapped around his limbs.
Poison spikes pierced his body.
Samuel raised his skeletal hand.
Dark energy gathered.
"Claw of the Underworld."
A massive skeletal claw burst from the ocean floor.
It slammed into the chains.
CRACK.
The enchanted coral shattered instantly.
The Morlock King roared as the restraints broke apart.
Samuel spoke calmly.
"You are free."
The King Awakens
The Morlock King slowly stood.
Even injured, his presence was monstrous.
His body towered over the battlefield.
His eyes burned with ancient fury.
He looked at Samuel.
"You freed me…"
Samuel nodded.
"Serve the Lord of the Corrupted Forest."
The king looked across the battlefield.
He saw his son fighting.
He saw the crab beast.
And he saw Draven lying on the sea floor.
The Morlock King clenched his fists.
"I will crush them."
Prince Varuk's Charge
Meanwhile—
Prince Varuk had already begun his charge.
The Sea Storm Trident crackled with ocean power.
He roared.
"FOR THE SEA STORM TRIBE!"
Morlock warriors followed him.
Varuk spun the trident.
A violent vortex of water formed around the weapon.
He lunged forward.
The trident pierced through multiple Piranha warriors instantly.
Their bodies exploded under the pressure.
Varuk cut through the battlefield like a raging storm.
Nothing could stop him.
He had only one destination.
His father.
Reunion in Battle
Varuk finally reached the chained platform.
And there—
He saw him.
The Morlock King.
Standing free.
Varuk froze for a moment.
"Father…"
The Morlock King looked at his son.
Then he smiled.
A warrior's smile.
"You grew stronger."
Varuk laughed in relief.
Then the king looked toward the battlefield.
His expression turned cold.
"Now."
"Let's destroy them."
The Hidden Enemy
Far away from the battlefield…
Hidden within the ruins of an ancient coral structure…
A mysterious figure watched everything.
Long threads extended from her fingers.
One of those threads was connected to Draven.
The figure chuckled softly.
"So this is the demon everyone fears…"
SHe tightened her fingers.
The thread controlling Draven twitched slightly.
"Interesting."
"Very interesting."
The figure smiled.
"Let's see how your monsters behave without their king."
The Battlefield Turns
Back on the ocean floor—
Draven still lay motionless.
The monster army was struggling.
The crab beast prepared another devastating attack.
But now—
Two new warriors entered the battlefield.
The Morlock King.
And his son.
The father and son stood side by side.
The king raised a massive coral blade.
His voice echoed through the ocean.
"Sea Storm Tribe!"
"War!"
The Morlock warriors roared.
The true battle had only just begun.
