When the three people in the water emerged, the few who had been on alert on the nearby reef finally relaxed slightly, watching them climb up.
"How is it? Did you make any discoveries?"
Hearing Jason’s words, Alka nodded. "We made some discoveries, although we’re not sure if they’re significant. But let’s get up first before we discuss it."
With that, he reached for the cliff beside him and started climbing. The others followed closely.
As Alka climbed, the entire island began to shake violently. Feeling the vibrations, Alka’s previously stern expression actually relaxed.
That’s more like it. If this monster didn’t appear, Alka would keep worrying about where it was hiding. Now that it had finally shown itself, he could breathe a sigh of relief. It’s here.
He immediately shouted, "Quick, let’s get up! There’s danger!"
With that, everyone immediately began to climb quickly.
In a few leaps, they were back on top of the cliff. Alka, who climbed up first, reached down to pull Chadite up from below.
In about ten seconds, everyone was back where they had jumped from.
At this moment, the entire island was still shaking.
The surrounding sea churned violently, waves rolling and crashing onto the shore.
The Sound of Dawn started moving on its own; she had sensed the commotion on the island and realized Alka and the others were in danger. Detecting Alka’s location, she began to steer towards the sea behind them, ready to help them escape.
Just then, the shipwrecks on the island began to gather frantically, colliding and condensing.
Many wrecks buried deep in the soil were also pulled out, bringing some roots and dirt with them.
These wrecks spiraled as they converged towards the center.
"Everyone, stay alert! Prepare for combat!"
As Alka spoke, a few Red Cards appeared in his hand, and he flung them out.
The Red Cards spiraled towards the center along with the wrecks.
They stacked onto the monster along with the other debris.
As they converged, the monster revealed itself. It was a towering creature, over ten meters high, its entire body formed from various shipwrecks.
A huge mast was strapped to its back, covered in tattered sails. The most update n0vels are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
On its shoulders and in some crevices, skeletal remains hung like macabre decorations.
The massive roar carried violent sound waves crashing towards where they stood.
Julia murmured softly, and a transparent shield enveloped the area, blocking the incoming sound waves.
For attacks closely linked to sound, the Silence Spell was always the best defense.
As the ground shook, the gigantic monster sprinted towards them in huge strides. It hurled a broken mast like a spear, which sliced through the air with an ear-piercing shriek.
The group quickly retreated to either side. The massive projectile struck where they had been standing, dislodging a large boulder that tumbled down the cliff.
Jumping back to dodge, Alka snapped his fingers.
With a loud explosion, several massive columns of fire erupted from the monster’s left shoulder, shattering and igniting the surrounding wooden planks.
After all, being formed from shipwrecks, its body was mostly composed of these wooden structures.
The flames began to spread over it, and its massive left arm, nearly shattered, dangled precariously.
But the monster paid no heed.
At that moment, spirited music swelled from behind them, a hint of anger discernible within it. The Sound of Dawn had arrived.
Seeing the group ready to attack, Alka, who had suddenly heard something, said, "Let the Sound of Dawn handle it. She wants to show her prowess too."
The Sound of Dawn’s double-decked cannon ports on her side slid open, revealing the dark muzzles of the cannons within. One broadside of twelve Vibrating Stone Cannons elevated, all aiming at the gigantic ship-monster running towards Alka and the others.
"Fire!" Alka gave the order.
Muffled thuds rang out, followed by one cannon blast after another. Shells whizzed through the air with sharp screeches.
Before their eyes, the shells crashed into the monster’s body.
Against such a massive monster, the Vibrating Stone Cannons were indeed very effective.
The monster’s wreck-body was hit by shell after shell. Wooden planks flew in all directions, and its entire frame was continuously forced back. The left arm it had raised to fend off attacks was completely smashed, falling to the ground.
After all, if this monster were truly considered a ship, it would merely be a small vessel, just over ten meters long.
The ship’s cannons, controlled by the automatic Spell module, were operated by the Sound of Dawn herself.
Accuracy was guaranteed, as the Vibrating Stone Cannons fired round after round. The giant ship-monster couldn’t even get near Alka and the others; it was now struggling to preserve itself.
Its body was a complete wreck, and the flames from Alka’s earlier outburst still burned on it.
"This monster is pretty weak. It looked big and imposing, but it wasn’t much," Jason remarked, watching the monster get shattered.
He’d thought the monster would be much stronger.
Hearing Jason’s comment, Alka turned and glanced at him.
