Chapter 357: Chapter 357

But the vaccine delivered by the gun had already been successfully injected into the Sea Spider’s organism and was gradually circulating through the entire Warship with its blood.

For others, this thing was a healing elixir, but for these infected monster Warships, it was a deadly toxin.

Of course, talking about toxicity without considering the dosage is simply shameless.

Killing a Warship with a displacement of at least a few hundred tons in a short time was definitely not realistic.

But there was no problem in weakening their combat ability.

As the vaccine entered the Sea Spider’s body and spread with the blood, everything it touched—flesh, barnacles, coral, scales—quickly weakened.

Then, like ulcerating skin, fresh blood and pus seeped out.

Even the eight thick octopus tentacles became listless, as if struck by a severe illness, losing the frightening momentum they had at the beginning. Google seaʀᴄh 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

Their combat power was clearly plummeting.

Magnyra obviously knew the principle of striking an enemy when they are down. Seeing that the bloody passage she had initially blown open was not healing but instead deteriorating further, she rejoiced.

She quickly ordered the counterattack, "Board them! We’re going back in!"

Jacqueline also swooped down from the sky and, following her mother, plunged back into the bloody passage, heading straight for the lower decks.

While Magnyra held off Gilbert, the Adventurer Captain "Spirit Medium," who had also transformed into a marine creature.

Beneath Jacqueline’s feet, vast shadows flowed out like mercury without any reflection.

They rose into a dense mass of triangular arrowheads that slithered fast through the deck’s crevices, freely switching between two and three dimensions.

Then they thrust fiercely toward the location where a heartbeat was detected.

Shadow Spell: Shadow Serpent’s Breath!

Bright blue blood splattered.

The eight tentacles behind the Sea Spider instantly stiffened and then, as if all tendons and bones had been removed, fell powerlessly, subsequently going silent.

At this moment, the balance of combat strength between the two sides instantly shifted from the original five versus four to the current four versus nine.

After landing a successful strike, Gungnir automatically flew back to Byron’s hand, where it was "poisoned" again before being forcefully thrown.

This was the Doctor’s moment to shine.

He targeted the Determination, the Guardian Shield, the Blue Elf, and the May Wind—none were missed.

However, compared to those Escort Ships, the vaccine was evidently less effective on the May Wind.

Because its birth mechanism was entirely different from that of the Escort Ships, the spiritual pollution from the Slumbering God—Kraken could not be countered by a small dose of vaccine.

Moreover, Byron could feel through Gungnir that this ship’s armor had once again been specifically reinforced.

The Spirituality consumed by the Sure-Hit Spear in breaking the armor was at least three times higher than the last time.

If this battle did not take it down, the same move might not work next time, and that would indeed be dangerous.

The other allied Warships also knew that they couldn’t take down these monster Warships with cannon fire alone in a few hours, so they simply employed their superior numbers for a mass attack.

After breaking formation, the Wild Boar Warrior was the first to charge forward violently, slamming hard into the Guardian Shield, which was already entangled by an allied Iris Warship.

"Brothers, follow me and kill!"

A monster with a boar’s head and human body, sharp tusks protruding from its mouth, and covered in dense, steel-needle-like black bristles, leaped onto the opponent’s deck like a cannonball, wielding two heavy Battle Axes.

Wielding his axes, he whipped up a storm of severed limbs and blood.

Kriegan, a Third Order Bayfolk Berserker known as the "Magic Pig," also held a side job as a native boar warrior.

Although his level of forbidden knowledge was only Second Grade, it significantly enhanced his physical strength on top of his Berserker foundation.

He also gained a series of transcendent melee abilities, such as Beast Intuition, hardened skin, and boar’s brute force.

Clad in a Miracle heavy armor, he could take on gods and demons alike.

The Butterfly Fish was not to be outdone and accelerated towards the opposing Blue Elf.

Jeanne Seyida, the Ice Witch, though a woman, stood even taller than the 190-centimeter Byron, reaching an astounding 220 centimeters.

And with her rare blue hair and skin so white it was almost translucent, all her unusual physical traits indicated she was a non-human Third-order Great Wizard.

Perhaps her "Bloodline Codex" lineage had some distant connection with the Mythical Creature, the Frost Giants.

Opening her mouth, she spewed a frosty breath, completely freezing the deluge above and the deck of the Blue Elf along with it.

Even the Barnacle armor on its body was frozen and fell off in pieces.

The last Warship, the Determination, was entrusted to the Iris allies.

Byron commanded the Golden Deer, Raven, and Support to attack the May Wind, with Jacqueline returning to the Golden Deer at the first opportunity to assist.

They were determined to claim his head.

At that moment, the inner bay was yellow-green from the Dragon Dung Potion targeting Sea Monsters, while the outer layer had just been treated with the Fish Poison Potion targeting gills.

Taking advantage of the bay’s pocket shape, they ensured there was no escape for the enemy.

However, just as the three Warships closed in and quickly approached it, this octopus Warship incredibly plunged into the contaminated waters with a flick of its tail, seemingly unaffected by the two potions.

How is that possible? It can adapt and evolve to this too?!

Byron had already learned that the heroic Adventurer Balboa, after being tainted, had inadvertently evolved too far while tracing his ancestral lineage, regressing into a marine creature.

He had become a terrifying monster that not only couldn’t be killed by ordinary means but also continued to evolve in response to the attacks it faced.

With its Adaptive Evolution as an Infinite Evolver, as long as it survived great calamities, it could transform step by step through tribulation, becoming progressively harder to kill.

At this time, the May Wind had clearly evolved again!

It developed a Humanoid Will to combat the Dragon Dung Potion, because even the weakest humans were unafraid of the potion.

To counter the Fish Poison Potion targeting gills, it had evolved lungs similar to those of mammals.

This time, they could no longer deal with it in the same way they did with Sea Monsters.

For an Infinite Evolver, this was the true Secret Art:

The same move cannot be used against me twice!

Just then, Violet urgently warned, "Byron, it’s not running away; it’s beneath our ship!"

No sooner had her words fallen than a mass of red tentacles drilled out from beneath the Golden Deer, wrapping around every sailor on the ropes, masts, and decks.

Yet Byron showed no fear and roared, "Engage!"

He did not notice, however, that amid the storm, a few Ravens—not commonly seen over the sea—circled the battlefield before quietly flying towards Castilia.
