The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　And those dragons...are just pure beasts.

　"Something is driving those beasts to attack us," Alice concluded. "It's very close by. They must have a controller."

　It seemed that just as the words fell, accompanied by a roar, a wall of water rose in front of the Academi!

　Even with the adjustment of the wind string power, the bow of the ironclad ship was suddenly lifted up by the sudden huge force, and the entire ship tilted for a moment.

　Just as Vivian regained her balance, she saw a giant figure appear behind the water wall—

　"boom----"

　It passed through the wall of water and slammed hard into the ironclad's starlight shield, with a resounding explosion.

　A massive shockwave pierced through the starlight shield, knocking everyone inside to the ground. Suddenly, alarm bells rang in the bridge. William grabbed the handrail and shouted,

　"Clear the sea area! Clear the sea area!"

　The next second, inside the string formation deep inside the ironclad ship, four or five wizards raised their wands and played the strings at the same time—

　"Om——"

　The colorful shock wave spread rapidly towards the surrounding sea area with the Academi as the center, pushing the prop shadow away.

　But it didn't look hurt at all. Instead, it circled quickly in the air, its scarlet eyes shining in the rain.

　"That's...!" Ruan Lili exclaimed.

　"The Dragon King of Jiaolong." Mr. Cha's tone became much more serious.

　Without a doubt, it was an even more ancient dragon. Countless long whiskers fluttered in the air, its ferocious scales opened and closed, and its twisted claws were as sharp as swords.

　Its pupils emitted a faint light in the rain, dripping down its cheeks - that was the extraordinary essence flowing freely.

　"Roar----"

　The dragon king let out a long howl, and his tiny forelimbs

　With one grab, strong winds and heavy rain gathered towards its claws and were held in its hands like a sharp blade.

　It hurled the raging storm in its claws at the ironclad, and at the same time, the ironclad once again began firing a volley of artillery:

　"Boom, boom, boom, boom -"

　But this time, the shells fired from the Fire String Cannon flew in all directions in the wind blade swung by the dragon, and the trajectory was deviated.

　Then, accompanied by a huge wave a hundred meters high, the blade of the wind struck the ironclad ship.

　"boom"

　There were vibrations and roars, and chaos broke out in the bridge. A steam pipe somewhere burst, making a sizzling sound.

　"Rescue the pipeline!" William shouted, "Report shield integrity!"

　"Thirty-two percent! It takes thirty-five seconds to recharge."

　"It's too late!" William shouted.

　Before he could think of a countermeasure, another violent collision struck him—

　"boom---"

　A dragon slammed into the ironclad ship from the side, briefly tearing off part of the starlight shield and leaving deep scratches on the armor.

　Vivian grabbed Alice, who was about to fall, and shouted:

　"There's no other way, William, lower the boat!"

　"Let go of the boat!?" William was a little surprised, "But..."

　"We have to do this! Alice and I will hold back the Dragon King, and you guys try to destroy as many dragons as possible!"

　How long it will take to get through the storm is still unknown.

　But judging from the charging speed of the Starlight Shield, if the Dragon King used the same trick a few more times, the entire ironclad ship would probably sink.

　At present, it seems that we can only let high-level combat forces take action to share the current greater pressure.

　"it is good."

　William nodded, agreed to Vivian's request, and immediately began to give instructions to the adjutant beside him.

　Vivian and Alice nodded to each other, pushed open the door of the bridge, walked through the corridor, went down the stairs, and soon arrived at the hatch leading to the deck.

　"Boom!" The moment the hatch opened, thunder and heavy rain struck the two of them like a torrential downpour, eager to swallow them up.

　Vivian and Alice held hands and began running across the deck. As they ran, Alice removed the cross pendant from her neck and swung it, transforming it into a golden sword. Vivian, on the other hand, grasped a ball of pale blue flame. Icy strings quickly intertwined around her body, transforming into silver-white armor that enveloped her form.

　Hand in hand, they ran and leaped over the edge of the deck, just in time to see a small boat being thrown into the sea between the scales of the side string.

　"thump!"

　The moment she stepped onto the boat, Alice thrust the Sword of Dawn towards the bottom of the boat, and the starlight barrier quickly surrounded it, protecting the boat from being swallowed by the raging waves.

　Vivian swung her sword fiercely, and the ice flame cleared the way, pushing the boat forward quickly among the waves, rushing towards the Dragon King in front.

　Amidst the heavy rain, Vivian saw the dragon without any restrictions: its slender and majestic body, the opening and closing scales, and the storm surrounding its body all spoke of its power as the overlord of the ocean.

　"Dragon Lord!" Vivian yelled. "Face me!"

　She spoke these words in an obscure and difficult language, and the ancient dragon language passed through the rainstorm and reached the ears of the Dragon King.

　The next second, the Dragon King turned around and looked down at Vivian in the heavy rain.

　The moment she looked into those scarlet eyes, Vivian felt a tremor from the depths of her soul.

　She heard the dragon say:

　"So you came back, for the throne?"

Chapter 382: Clouds on the Sea (Part 5) -4k- (Two Updates in One)

　The moment she was enveloped by Long Yan, Vivian was stunned for a moment.

　"So you came back, for the throne?"

　She didn't know what this sentence meant, and she didn't know why the Dragon King said such a thing.

　The next second, Alice shouted:

　"Vivian!"

　She looked intently and saw a dragon coming through the waves, opening its huge mouth towards the boat.

　Seeing this, the icy flames in Vivian's pupils burst forth, and she swung her silver sword—

　"boom----"

　The waves of ice flame split the waves and instantly tore open the dragon's mouth.

　It let out a sharp howl and was about to swing its claws at the boat again. At this moment, a tail broke out from the waves and split the dragon in two.

　——The Dragon King killed his own clan!

　"She's my prey!" The Dragon King shook the blood off his tail. "You guys, tear open that iron can!"

　Upon receiving the order, the dragons quickly separated and attacked the ironclad ship.

　The Dragon King lowered his head in the rain and looked at Vivian on the boat.

　"You brought a human?" the Dragon King sneered. "Oh... Ice Dragon... You have dishonored your bloodline...!"

　"Who are you!" Vivian shouted. "What is the throne?"

　"It's a delusion that has nothing to do with you!"

　The next second, the dragon swung its claws and attacked Vivian with a strong wind.

　"clang----"

　Ice flames collide with the strong wind, sword blades collide with sharp claws.

　Vivian blocked the attack with her silver sword. She used all her strength to barely achieve a balance with the Dragon King, and ice flames flickered on the sea.

　"Weak." The Dragon King sneered disdainfully.

　"Uh ah ah!"

　Vivian's eyes blazed with icy blue flames. She suddenly stepped onto the boat, and icy blue light spurted out from the gaps in her silver armor.

　"boom----"

　The silver blade swung violently, and as the flames burst out, the dragon king's claws were instantly pushed back by the huge force.

　Taking advantage of this opportunity, Alice swung her sword, and golden starlight appeared from behind her, transforming into sharp swords that stabbed at the Dragon King.

　"Boom, boom, boom, boom -"

　The Dragon King coiled his body, and strong winds blew out from between his scales, detonating the starlight prematurely.

　When the dragon head circled back again, I saw a piece of ice rising rapidly under the support of the huge waves, and soon it was as high as the dragon head.

　Vivian was standing on that piece of ice. Amidst the raging storm, the icy flames in her eyes were particularly cold.

　"broken!"

　Long Yan gave the order, and broken glass appeared on the silver sword blade, and ice-blue flames wrapped around the sword body.

　Seeing this, the Dragon King roared, a violent wind blew up, and Vivian leaped from the ice floe, slashing at the Dragon King with her giant sword amidst lightning and thunder.

　Ice flames, strong winds, and the mighty forces of nature leveraged by the strings exploded beneath the dark clouds in an instant, bursting into brilliant flames.

　The light blade drew a trajectory, leaving a deep scar on the Dragon King's neck, and dragon blood spurted out like a hot rain.

　Vivian wanted to give chase, but the next moment, the dragon king's sharp claws came at a speed invisible to the naked eye, hitting Vivian in the air—

　"boom----"

　The sonic boom created by the shock wave seemed to stop the heavy rain for a moment. Vivian broke through the rain curtain and fell rapidly towards the sea.

　She had no time to react before scarlet vertical pupils appeared before her eyes.

　"Weak."

　"boom----"

　A violent storm blew out of the dragon's mouth, instantly drowning Vivian.

　Vivian felt a sharp tearing pain all over her body. Cracks appeared on the surface of the silver armor, and her pupils widened in pain.

　She was swept by the huge waves and fell into the sea. Just as she was about to fall, a small boat flew out from the waves, accompanied by a flash of golden light.

　Alice swung her sword, and the starlight shield crashed into the water column spewed out by the Dragon King, engulfing Vivian in it.

　"Vivian!" Alice had no time to look back and could only shout, "Are you okay?"

　"...I...I'm fine..."

　Vivian stood up, leaning on her sword, her silver armor almost broken, and the light in her eyes flickered.

　She gripped the sword tightly in her hand, took a deep breath, and looked up at the Dragon King cruising in the storm.

　"Again."

　"Wait a minute," Alice stopped, "first..."

　"Haha!!"

　Vivian screamed, ice flames erupted from the soles of her feet, and her body shot into the sky like a bullet.

　The Dragon King circled and swung out gusts of wind blades, which were cut open by her sword one after another, breaking through layer by layer.

　Then, she and the Dragon King collided again—

　"boom----"

　The ice-blue flames were torn apart by the strong wind, and Vivian's body fell from the air to the sea again.

　This time, just as the Dragon King was about to give chase, a dragon howl was heard from not far away.

　——It’s Erlum!

　The ice-blue dragon was breaking through the defense line of the group of dragons. There was a fierce light flashing in his pupils, like two stars in the rainstorm.

　Before the Dragon King could attack Vivian again, Erlum spewed out ice flames, instantly freezing the Dragon King's claws.

　"Roar--"

　The Dragon King roared, grabbed a gust of wind with his other hand, and flung it towards Erum.
