Chapter — The Crushing Tide
The battlefield had turned into a graveyard of broken coral and shattered shells.
The ocean that once shimmered peacefully now churned violently with the aftermath of war.
Thousands of corpses drifted slowly in the currents.
Crab warriors.
Sea beasts.
Undead knights.
Pieces of armor.
Fragments of bone.
Dark blood clouded the water.
Yet none of it mattered anymore.
Because the entire battlefield had fallen silent.
Every warrior…
Every monster…
Every creature of the sea…
Had turned their attention toward two beings.
Two rulers.
Two monsters standing at the peak of power.
Draven.
And the Poison Stinger Crab Beast.
The final clash had begun.
The King of the Deep
The crab beast's body trembled violently.
Not from fear.
But from rage.
Its glowing green eyes burned with murderous intent as it stared at Draven.
The creature understood something now.
This was not a normal enemy.
Not a mere invader.
This being…
Was a rival ruler.
A king.
And the sea had room for only one.
The crab's body began releasing waves of power.
Green venom bubbles leaked from its armored joints.
Its stinger lifted slowly.
The claws tightened.
Then—
The ocean itself began to shake.
C3 felt the shift immediately.
His eyes widened.
"That pressure…"
A1 glanced toward him.
"What is it?"
C3 whispered.
"He's activating everything."
And he was right.
The crab beast was no longer holding back.
This was its final form of combat.
Shell Fortress
A deep metallic sound echoed underwater.
CLANG.
CLANG.
CLANG.
The crab's shell began shifting.
Layers of hardened armor overlapped across its body.
Spikes extended outward.
Each plate thickened until the creature looked like a living fortress.
Even the ocean currents bent around its shell.
A defensive ability.
Shell Fortress.
The monster had just turned itself into an armored mountain.
Even Draven raised an eyebrow.
"Well… that's annoying."
But the crab wasn't done.
Not even close.
Stinger Barrage
The crab's massive tail rose behind it.
The venomous stinger glowed bright green.
Then—
It split.
One stinger became two.
Two became four.
Four became eight.
Eight became dozens.
Every stinger vibrated like a loaded crossbow.
Then the crab launched them.
The sea erupted.
Thousands of venom spikes shot forward.
The water turned into a storm of poison.
"INCOMING!" B2 shouted.
A1 moved instantly.
"Defensive formation!"
The Blood Lancers raised their crimson shields.
Undead knights locked their formations.
The gargoyle general swung his magma axe forward.
"Gravity Shield!"
The surrounding water compressed into a dense barrier.
Still—
The stinger barrage smashed into the army.
Explosions filled the ocean.
Several undead knights were shredded instantly.
Blood lancers were blown back.
Even the gargoyle general slid backward through the seabed.
Yet the attack wasn't aimed at them.
Every stinger was targeting Draven.
But Draven simply raised one hand.
"Telekinesis."
The invisible force field appeared instantly.
Hundreds of venom spikes froze in place.
Suspended mid-water.
The remaining ones shattered against the barrier.
Draven flicked his fingers.
The captured spikes turned around.
And launched back at the crab.
BOOM.
BOOM.
BOOM.
The spikes shattered against the Shell Fortress armor.
The crab remained unharmed.
Draven smirked.
"Yeah… this one's tough."
Sea King Pierce
The crab slammed its claws into the seabed.
A violent surge of energy burst through the ocean floor.
Then—
The ground beneath Draven exploded.
A gigantic spear of compressed seawater shot upward.
The attack was so fast it tore through the ocean itself.
Sea King Pierce.
Draven barely reacted in time.
He twisted his wings and flew sideways.
The spear of water shot past him like a missile.
Then it pierced the ocean surface above.
A massive pillar of water erupted into the sky.
Even the battlefield paused.
The power of that attack was terrifying.
Draven looked back down.
The crab was already preparing the next move.
Tidal Wave Blast
The crab opened its massive claws.
Water began spiraling around them.
Not normal water.
Compressed ocean mana.
The pressure began building.
The surrounding currents bent violently.
Then—
The crab fired both claws forward.
The ocean itself surged.
A massive wall of water rushed toward Draven.
Not a wave.
A tsunami underwater.
Everything in its path was swept away.
Dead bodies.
Rocks.
Coral forests.
Even Draven's soldiers were pushed backward.
C3 yelled.
"Everyone hold your ground!"
The gargoyle general slammed his axe into the seabed.
"Gravity Anchor!"
The battlefield stabilized slightly.
But the tidal blast was unstoppable.
It raced toward Draven.
Draven simply smiled.
"Let's match it."
He raised the Abyssal Blade.
Black lightning gathered along the edge.
Red flames burned across the sword.
The sky above the ocean darkened again.
Draven swung.
"Abyssal Storm Cleave!"
The attack cut straight through the tidal wave.
The ocean split apart.
The wave exploded into scattered currents.
But the crab had already launched its final move.
The Ultimate Combination
The crab's eyes glowed brighter than ever.
Its entire body began absorbing the surrounding ocean.
Pressure increased.
Currents spiraled violently.
The monster roared.
Two abilities activated at once.
Ocean Slam.
Titanic Claw Swing.
The crab leaped forward.
Thousands of tons of mass moving at full speed.
One claw raised above Draven.
The entire ocean pressed downward with it.
The other claw swung sideways with unstoppable force.
The combination attack could crush mountains.
Even Draven felt the danger.
"This one's serious."
He inhaled slowly.
His crown glowed.
The Spirit King's Crown activated.
Life energy.
Death energy.
Both flowed into his body.
His aura exploded outward.
Black lightning erupted from his wings.
Red flames covered his sword.
Draven whispered quietly.
"Then let's end it."
The Final Strike
The two monsters collided.
The crab's claws descended like falling continents.
Draven flew straight toward them.
At the last moment—
He vanished.
Teleportation using telekinesis acceleration.
He appeared above the crab.
The Abyssal Blade burned brighter than ever.
Draven roared.
"Black Lightning Apocalypse!"
The sword descended.
Lightning exploded.
Flames erupted.
The ocean itself screamed.
The attack struck the crab's shell.
For one second—
Nothing happened.
Then—
CRACK.
A thin fracture appeared.
Then another.
Then hundreds.
The Shell Fortress armor shattered.
The blade cut deeper.
Straight through the monster's body.
The crab froze.
Its glowing eyes dimmed slowly.
Then—
Its massive body split apart.
The Poison Stinger Crab Beast collapsed.
The ruler of the enemy tribe…
Had fallen.
Silence of the Ocean
For a moment…
No one moved.
Then—
The battlefield erupted.
The remaining crab monsters fled instantly.
The Morlock warriors roared in victory.
Prince Varuk raised his trident.
"THE ENEMY KING HAS FALLEN!"
The Morlock King laughed thunderously.
"ALL HAIL THE NEW LORD OF THE SEA!"
Draven landed slowly on the seabed.
His wings folded.
His sword dimmed.
The ocean currents slowly calmed.
And above the battlefield…
The new ruler stood victorious.
Draven.
The Demon King of the Corrupted Forest.
And now…
The conqueror of the sea shore .
