"hiss……"

Looking at the stars falling like rain in front of him, Luden also took a breath of cold air. Of course, he could guess that the one who was attacking him was the young lady of the legendary realm priest whom he had met before. Although Luden knew that she was very powerful at that time, after witnessing the power of the stars with his own eyes, Luden realized how lucky he was to be able to escape from the other party... If he was hit by this thing, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to leave a complete body.

“Very good, very interesting!”

At this moment, the voice sounded again, and with the sound of footsteps, a man in Vanriel Navy uniform strode to the bow. He looked to be about 40 or 50 years old, wearing a white coat, with a thin face that looked like a jackal. The man had a pipe in his mouth, and his right hand was on his waist, holding the hilt of the long sword hanging there. Then the man sneered and looked forward.

"Hey, little girl."

The man's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

"I am Major General Wester Mousse from the Vanriel Naval Staff Headquarters. I am here on the orders of the Vanriel Federal Parliament to arrest the wanted criminal Nanali Flickhill. This is an arrest warrant officially issued by the parliament. The alchemical tools she created have caused very serious damage and impact to our Vanriel, and right now, we need to arrest her!"

“Woo…”

Hearing this, Nanali couldn't help but curl up her body and trembled as she looked at the warship in the distance.

"We do not wish to have a direct conflict with the Temple. I believe you do not want this matter to affect the diplomatic relations between Vanriel and your country."

As he spoke, West spread out his hands.

"What do you think? Give me some face and stop here. I can guarantee that I will give Miss Nunnally a fair trial..."

“…”

In response to West's words, Hecate was silent for a moment, then she raised the staff in her hand again and waved it gently.

"Stars!"

Along with Hecate's shout, hundreds of meteors burst out from the top of the triangular staff, rushing towards the battleship in front of them with endless trajectories. Seeing this scene, West's face also sank.

"You don't know how to appreciate my kindness! In that case, let me show you what the true power of legend is!"

After saying this, West suddenly took a step forward, and the next moment, he jumped out of the warship in front of him. But before West fell into the sea, the rolling waves suddenly formed a platform like an obedient pet, steadily dragging West's body. West stared coldly at the meteor shower in front of him, his right hand suddenly grasped the hilt of the sword, and then swung forward!

“Ah——”

At this moment, it seemed as if the entire ocean was startled. Following West's movements, a huge whale nearly 100 meters long, made entirely of seawater, leaped up from the sea, opened its mouth and pounced on the whistling meteor in front of it. Seeing this scene, Hecate reached out and gently shook the staff.

"jingle!"

The triangular rings collided and made a bright sound. At the same time, the meteors suddenly began to split, one into two, two into four, and four into eight. In the blink of an eye, the meteor shower in front of them doubled in size. They were like long spears condensed from light, piercing straight into the body of the giant whale!

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”

With a thunderous explosion, a huge wound was immediately torn from the body of the giant sea whale, almost splitting it in two. This might be fatal to a living being, but it was no big deal to an elemental creature made entirely of seawater. The giant whale leaped up again and pounced towards the Black Crow. If it was hit by this whale, it was certain that the Black Crow and its passengers would be destroyed.

At this moment, Hecate put away her staff, reached out her hand, took out an exquisite and elegant flute, put it to her mouth, and began to play softly.

“——!”

A melodious and graceful flute sounded. Along with the sound of the flute, a blazing, aqua-blue flame emerged from Hecate's side and quickly transformed into an equally huge dragon of fire. The dragon of fire opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar, then it leaped into the sky and collided fiercely with the oncoming whale of seawater.

“Sizzle…!”

Under the burning flames, white smoke suddenly emerged from the giant whale's body, and then the next moment it exploded with a "bang" and turned into thick fog, covering the entire sea surface.

“It’s so hot, so hot, so hot…!!”

Feeling the mist coming down head-on, Kulia and the others were horrified. The high temperature brought by the mist evaporated by the flames made them feel as if they had entered a sauna. The scorching steam coming towards them was enough to burn their skin.

"Get back to the cabin!"

At this moment, Nymph also rushed to take action. The bracelets and necklaces on the little guy's hands suddenly burst into a series of magical brilliance, and then those exquisitely made and valuable magic equipment exploded one by one. Then a series of protective spells and barriers immediately wrapped the entire ship tightly like a turtle shell. This prevented the people on the Black Crow from being turned into steamed crabs.

"I asked you if you can do it, can't you be more reliable?"

Tilia also wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and stared at Hecate with dissatisfaction. But Hecate just glanced at her, then flew into the sky without saying a word and flew to the other side of the sea.

"Interesting, I thought she was just a fledgling that just left the nest, but I didn't expect her to be a falcon."

Seeing that his attack didn't work, West widened his eyes in curiosity. He originally thought that the little girl opposite was just a fledgling who had just entered the legendary realm, but he didn't expect that the opponent's response strategy was obviously more mature and stable than he imagined. Not only that, judging from the power that Hecate had just displayed, the power of the legendary realm she possessed was of a very high level.

Of course, West didn't know that if one simply calculated by age, Hecate had already experienced countless battles before his grandfather's great-grandfather's great-grandfather was born.

"I'm going to go meet that little girl, you guys go take care of that battleship!"

After turning around and giving Luden an order, West raised his sword and pointed it forward. The next moment, the seawater beneath his feet suddenly turned and rushed towards Hecate like a prehistoric beast. Hecate played the flute again, and then another giant dragon with a length of several hundred meters and composed entirely of aqua-blue flames reappeared beside Hecate.

“Kill it!!”

West roared, and the prehistoric beast under his feet suddenly stretched out a big hand and slapped the fire dragon. The fire dragon was not afraid of the huge palm like a tsunami, and roared and pounced forward, and the whole body was tightly entangled in the prehistoric beast's arm. For a moment, the whole sea surface was full of high-temperature steam, and there was a white mist everywhere.

“It’s right here!”

Just as Hecate was quietly retreating, the mist around her suddenly parted, and then West held a crystal-clear sword and slashed at Hecate. Hecate, like a fluttering paper doll, spun and floated away as West slashed at her. Then she raised her right hand, and with the reappearance of the triangular staff, the shining meteors once again enveloped the entire space.

"Follow my command, Ice!"

West didn't show any surprise when he missed the attack. Instead, his face became serious, he looked at Hecate, and then growled in a low voice.

At the same time, the surrounding water vapor seemed to be attracted by some invisible force and quickly condensed and froze, turning into sharp ice spikes, completely surrounding Hecate 360 ​​degrees. Facing the dense ice spikes in front of her, Hecate's expression remained unchanged. She just held the triangular staff tightly in front of her with both hands, and then paused lightly.

“The stars are shining.”

The next moment, countless rays of light, with Hecate as the center, spread out to the entire world.

"Goddess above..."

Luden stood on the deck, holding the railing tightly with both hands, staring at the battlefield in the distance with wide eyes. The battle there was beyond his imagination. The roaring waves and the shining stars collided and intertwined with each other at this moment. From a distance, it was like a sign of the coming end of the world. The aqua-blue flame was even brighter than the sun. When it broke out, Luden felt that the whole world seemed to have become much darker for a moment. The crazy waves were even more terrifying than Luden had ever experienced in the worst climate.

The collision of these two things produced not only the water vapor that made one feel like one's lungs were burning just by breathing, but also an incomparable shock.

This is different from the script I had imagined.

Looking at the battle in the distance, Luden couldn't help scratching his head. He originally thought that with the joining of this adult, dealing with these rookies would be a piece of cake.

But now it seems... not so easy?

There is no other choice but to fight!

Thinking of this, Luden looked at the Black Crow not far away. The other side was just an ordinary merchant ship, but his side was a fully armed warship, not only with well-trained elite guards, but also several mages belonging to the navy.

No problem, we will win!
