Words Come True

In everyone’s sight—
Lucy stood in the wind—her beautiful hair not fluttering at all—not even a strand moving. Her expression calm—she glanced at the Azure Ring Sea Dragons leading the Dragon Tide—lightly stepped forward.

Tore a page from her yellowed book—softly chanting:
“Words become Law.”

Next second—the white paper ignited without fire—transforming into rings of runes circling around her—spinning wildly.
The rune rings’ fluctuations were astonishing—containing vast magic energy.

Hiss! Hiss!
Several Azure Ring Sea Dragons neared Hodir.
Their strange azure stripes flashed at high frequency—like charging—preparing some massive dragon power attack.

But Lucy didn’t give them time.
“I am before the Azure Ring Sea Dragons.”
She said softly—then vanished—reappeared before the dragons.

This eerie appearance shocked the Azure Rings—stripes flashing violently.
Just about to charge successfully—
“Your charging fails.”
Lucy spoke again, gently.

Yet next second—their stripes suddenly stopped flashing.
Like forcibly cut off.
Azure Rings opened gaping maws—spat for long—no energy emitted.
Scene briefly absurd.

“In this world—I reign supreme. You evil dragons—all shall submit!”
Lucy spoke another sentence—rune rings around her blazing brighter!
All Azure Ring Sea Dragons below instantly had identical rings appear on them.
These rings forcibly bound their bodies—slowly penetrating inside.

Though fiercely struggling—useless.
Moments later—all Level 60+ Azure Rings became puppets.

Under Lucy’s control—they launched charging attacks at their own kind.
Massive azure light beams shot out—killing dozens of Sea Lion Dragons in one strike!

This extremely eerie scene left fleet members stunned.

They’d heard of Sages’

“Words become Law”—but seeing it live—
the shock was no less than the Empress’s earlier intervention.

Truly the most show-off class.

Black nodded silently—Sage class was called most show-off on game forums.
Reason? Closely tied to this “Words become Law.”

Mouth moves—kill enemies miles away—truly flashy.
But “Words become Law” only clearly affects enemies far below level.

Against stronger foes—basically useless.
So Sage class isn’t suited for BOSS fights.

Anyway—Lucy’s intervention suppressed the Dragon Tide’s momentum.
Human side morale soared.

“Crossbow cannons—fire! Fire cannons—fire! Spell cannons—fire!”

New battle officially began!
Man vs. Dragon—fight to the death.

Half an hour later—
Thud!
Black plunged Overlord Spear into a Level 20 juvenile Hammerhead Dragon’s heart—ending its life.

His face covered in dragon blood—stench assaulting his nose.
For half an hour—battle never paused.

Pascal and Duke Gran fought fiercely.
Lucy-controlled Azure Rings slaughtered everywhere.

Other high-level sea dragons handled by Dragoncleaver Guard captains.
Though this Dragon Tide came fiercer than Black expected—victory was just a matter of time.

Unfortunately—casualties appeared.
Over ten Dragoncleavers and young nobles died to sea dragon attacks.
Not many—but chilling.
If entering Caribbean Sea—facing larger tides—many more would die.

“Alright?”
Black pulled Krystin—who’d overused magic—from ground.
Her originally rosy face pale—lips bloodless.
Too kind—overused magic to help others.
At peak—maintained ten Healing Spells simultaneously.
Massive body load—Black advised—girl stubbornly shook head.

“I’m fine… but… if my level were higher—more magic—maybe I could’ve saved them.”
Krystin said weakly—eyes slightly moist.
“You can’t save everyone.”
Black sighed—comforting.
Fits Krystin’s character.
After all—God loves all mankind.

BOOM!!!
Suddenly!
A nearby small transport ship suffered massive impact.
Perpetrator—a giant blue sea dragon!
Black and Krystin looked sharply.

“It’s a Level 55 Augupugu Sea Dragon—it pierced the hull!”
Krystin recognized it—shocked.

Black frowned—assessed sudden situation.
Augupugu Sea Dragons earned the title “Sea Dragon Assassins.”
Though large—could hide their presence well.
Plus—dragon skill to change color—often silently hunting targets.

Earlier—several hammerheads successively damaged the transport ship’s hull.
Augupugu then seized chance—shattered through the hull!

Now—the transport ship was in dire straits.
Seawater flooded in—might sink.
That alone wasn’t worst.
More dangerous—massive impact severely damaged hull.
Even the shelter cabin exposed.
Where many non-combatant maids and crew were.

They were now exposed to numerous sea dragons—closest being a Level 55 Augupugu.
Sea dragons wouldn’t miss this—humans were their favorite snacks.

“What to do?”
Krystin anxious.
“Don’t worry—Lady Lucy must’ve noticed.”
Black wasn’t overly concerned.
With Level 80 Sage’s perception—must’ve detected this emergency.
No use panicking now.
Transport ship distant—they couldn’t reach.
Even if they did—their strength couldn’t handle that Augupugu.
Only become snacks.
Most who could fight Level 55 dragons—were stuck in combat quagmire.
Can’t break free temporarily.
Only wait for Lucy.

“It’s a sea dragon! Run!”
“Help!”
“I don’t want to die! Save me!”
Shelter cabin already chaotic—yet no escape.
Damaged hull blocked their path.
Could only watch fang-filled Augupugu approach.

“Die.”
As Black predicted—Lucy’s gaze had firmly locked on there.
