Above the sea's damp, mist-covered surface.
Lugia, its white wings spread wide, was blasted into the sky by the blue pillar of energy that erupted from the deep sea.
The terrifying fluctuations tore open a savage wound across its chest and abdomen.
Azure blood flowed and sprayed out, the sight almost too horrifiyng to bear.
The lingering shockwave of energy pushed it all the way up to a height of a full hundred meters before finally dissipating.
At the mountain peak.
Shiko, who had seen this scene, subconsciously clenched his fist.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
This opening blow had been beautifully done!
At the same time.
Himeko, who was standing beside Shiko, revealed an expression of disbelief.
She naturally knew Lugia.
It was one of the top First-tier Legendaries on this planet, the deity of the sea who controlled the power of the ocean.
In ancient times, countless children of the sea had worshiped it.
An existence like that was absolutely close to invincible on this planet.
Especially now, when it was still within the sea, its own main battlefield.
There, it was undoubtedly at its strongest!
But!
Right now, this Sea God had actually been blasted away in its own domain by some unknown existence?
This scene dealt Himeko an enormous psychological shock.
It completely overturned her worldview.
Putting aside how unbelievable it already was that anyone other than Shiko would dare attack such an existence…
What was even more outrageous was that someone had actually been able to blow this Sea God straight into the air.
How powerful would an attack have to be to do that?
What kind of monster was hiding in the depths of the sea?
A First-tier Legendary on the same level?
How could that be possible?
For a moment, Himeko could not think of an answer.
However.
When she noticed Shiko's subtle reaction beside her…
A thought immediately appeared in her mind.
Could it be related to Shiko again?
Before she could carefully think through the possibility…
Lugia, who was in midair, began its counterattack.
After suffering such an attack, this King of the Sea was instantly enraged to the extreme.
It let out a shrieking roar.
Specks of dark green light scattered down from the sky, covering Lugia's body.
The savage wound across its chest and abdomen began to slowly heal under that light.
Its panting state also recovered.
Recover?
Shiko recognized the move.
Immediately afterward.
Lugia, now restored, finally began to display the domineering strength it possessed as the King of the Sea.
Its huge white wings flapped.
The airflow throughout the entire space began to turn chaotic.
White energy visible to the naked eye gathered beneath its two wings.
Two cyclones formed in an instant.
The next second.
Those two swirling air currents transformed into massive tornadoes dozens of meters tall.
Howling, tearing Flying-type energy swept toward the deep sea below.
The terrifying power of Hurricane instantly pulled up the currents across this entire stretch of sea.
Within the depths of the ocean.
A vast vacuum space suddenly appeared.
And it was precisely at that moment…
The figure of a colossal alloy dragon appeared before everyone's eyes!
