Sea Dragon Tide

The Imperial Winged Dragon reacted violently too!

It spat out its food, wings suddenly spread, bared fangs, hissing with dragon roars. Its golden vertical pupils shrank to pinpoints—dragon aura released without restraint.

Seeing this man and dragon’s reaction, Black was first confused, then suddenly stood up. The sharp alarm outside was indeed only sounded when a Sea Dragon Tide appeared.

Black and Alice exchanged glances, simultaneously blurting out: “Could it really be now?”

Alice casually drew Crimson Soul Sword, instantly leaping to the room door. Just before leaving, she paused, looking at Black and Karina, urgently saying: “You quickly find somewhere to hide—Sea Dragons eat humans on sight!” Then disappeared with fierce momentum.

What must come will come.

Black’s face turned much more serious. The Sea Dragon Tide—a term frequently appearing in game plots—now truly appeared in reality.

So-called Sea Dragon Tide usually consists of various types of Sea Dragons forming a group. Whether in number or combat power, they are extremely shocking. Ordinary fishing boats would die ten times over upon encountering one Sea Dragon. Let alone a Sea Dragon Tide?

Even fully armed fleets, if unlucky enough to meet a Sea Dragon Tide, would only end in total annihilation. Sea Dragon Tides rarely appear, often only emerging in Sea Dragon habitats when large-scale hunting activities occur. The Royal Fleet encountering a Sea Dragon Tide here has only one reason—they’re infinitely close to the Caribbean Sea.

This Sea Dragon Tide didn’t form for hunting but gathered to celebrate Jörmungandr’s awakening. “When it is about to awaken, all Sea Dragons will converge for the King’s revival, starting a Dragon race feast!” This rumor isn’t just for fun. Being attacked by a Sea Dragon Tide around the Caribbean Sea is normal.

Black wasn’t overly nervous. Before Jörmungandr appears, there won’t be a large-scale Sea Dragon Tide. What’s attacking the fleet now is just a small wave. With the Royal Fleet’s combat power, solving it doesn’t require much effort.

“Mr. Black, let’s go, we’ll head to the shelter cabin.” Karina said anxiously. As humans, they were taught from childhood by parents and others that Dragons are cruel creatures. Stories of humans being eaten by Dragons are endless. This is primitive fear ingrained in human genes. According to Royal Fleet regulations, when attacked by a Sea Dragon Tide, maids and servants must hide in the shelter cabin until the storm passes.

As for Black, Alice probably thought his level was too low. But Black had no such intention. With his current strength plus the Imperial Winged Dragon’s assistance, as long as he’s not surrounded by Sea Dragons, he still has some self-preservation ability. After all, he’ll eventually face larger-scale Sea Dragon Tides—might as well observe the battle now to make preparations for later.

“You go first, I’ll follow shortly.” Black casually deceived Karina to leave, taking the hatchling toward the outside.

When arriving at Hodir’s deck, Black realized he still underestimated the Sea Dragon Tide. The scene before him was far more shocking than game cutscenes.

The sea near the entire fleet seemed to boil!

The entire sea area appeared stirred by some invisible force—seawater violently churning, white foam flying like a giant pot of boiling water. Waves weren’t natural air waves or sea fluctuations but vortices and currents stirred by some massive creature. Just within sight, dozens of sinister dorsal fins appeared. These fins rose and fell on the sea surface, like Death’s scythe cutting through water.

Black’s breathing slightly quickened—these Dragon race creatures’ pressure couldn’t compare to game illustrations!

“Sea Dragon Tide! Full alert!” As the main force against Sea Dragon Tides, Dragoncleaver Guards were well-trained, calmly setting up various defensive measures. Hodir’s deck was instantly filled with various combat-ready personnel. Other ships’ responses weren’t as fast as Hodir’s but were orderly, showing no panic.

Black scanned the deck, spotting many familiar figures. Besides Alice, Krystin, Cyril, Seth, and others were present. These individuals were all young prodigies, their strength not inferior to ordinary Dragoncleaver Guards. Stepping forward in such situations was also the responsibility of nobles and royalty.

Pascal, as Second-in-Command Assistant of the Dragoncleaver Guards, was now standing tens of meters above Hodir. From that position, he could oversee the entire battlefield situation, better directing combat. As for Empress Elizabeth, she didn’t appear. Likely, this scale of Sea Dragon Tide didn’t require her intervention. Her priority was healing wounds to face World Serpent Jörmungandr.

As time progressed, sea movements grew larger—countless sea fish jumped out of water, fleeing frantically.

The Sea Dragon Tide hadn’t launched an attack yet.

Black felt puzzled, leaning against the deck edge, looking into the sea. The scene made his pupils contract sharply, body involuntarily trembling.

A huge shadow under the sea, like mountains rising and falling, increasing in number—already hundreds strong.

He understood—these Dragon creatures weren’t not attacking but waiting for more comrades to support. Once numbers reached a certain scale, they’d show their fangs. Like now.

BOOM!

A huge wave suddenly rose—on the wave crest, dozens of Hammerhead Sea Dragons burst out of water, pouncing toward surrounding ships. Hammerhead Sea Dragons’ most obvious feature is their hammer-shaped heads. Their massive hammer-shaped heads covered in sinister bone spurs are their most powerful attack method. As expected, Hammerhead Sea Dragons started using their heavy heads to smash ship sides.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Each impact raised several-meter-high walls of water—except Hodir, other ships shook violently. Fortunately, these ships all had defense spells carved—if not, they’d capsize next second. But this was just the beginning! The Sea Dragon Tide definitely doesn’t consist of only one type of Sea Dragon! Dark shadows swam beneath the sea—smaller Sea Lion Dragons approached in groups.

“Sea Lion Dragons.”

When seeing these dragons, Black recalled their settings. Sea Lion Dragons are social Dragon race, about 5 meters in size, named so because of their lion-like large mouths. When their gaping maws open, saw-toothed fangs gleam coldly. Sea Lion Dragons aren’t as strong as Hammerhead Sea Dragons, but their flexibility is unparalleled!

Their streamlined bodies shuttle like ghosts in water—when approaching ships, they suddenly leap! Instantly jumping dozens of meters out of water, crashing onto ship decks like bombs.

“Crossbow cannons ready! Spell cannons ready! Fire!”
