Chapter 1702 1702. Roaring Ocean

Viking drank a recovery potion while running. His HP went up to a safe level, but he didn't feel safe now that a high-level mythical-grade enemy was before him.

"Where is Helga? What did you do to her?!" Thelgrun asked. Helga had put herself to block Kaghast from chasing them. The fact that Kaghast was here, Thelgrun was worried that Helga had been defeated.

Helga had indeed almost been killed. It was only due to the arrival of the reinforcement led by Water Lily that Helga's life was saved. After seeing the enemy's reinforcement, Kaghast decided not to waste his time fighting them all. He jumped into the hole created by Helga's Condensed Flare. From there, he roamed the lower decks searching for Thelgrun.

After the arrival of the Verremor and Themisphere's fleets, Kaghast saw that things didn't look good for the Liguritudum Armada. He could still turn the situation around if he captured the Palgrost President.

Now, he finally found his prey.

"Hmph. Worry about yourself," Kaghast uttered as he lunged forward.

Viking lifted his axe, ready to clash, but a person jumped past him from above. This person carried a green trident that clanged with Kaghast's katars. The person lost in terms of power and was thrown back to where Viking was, but his attack stopped Kaghast's lunge.

Now that Viking had a look, the person was not of any of the seven main races. Viking's first thought was this was one of John's non-standard summons until the creature spoke.

"You bastard! You called me to fight a mythical-grade opponent?"

"A merfolk…?" Kaghast recognized the creature who just clashed with him.

The merfolk was Nogg Drowner, John's companion. He was now level 81, but Kaghast was still one grade above him.

"I told you I'll call you when I need a meat shield, didn't I?" John said. "Now, be a good meat shield. We need to get this dwarf up to the deck above."

"This? There are two dwarves here," Nogg said.

"I will help you hold him down," Viking said to Nogg.

"None of you will leave!!" Kaghast roared. His katar shone a bright yellow as he punched forward.

"Don't underestimate me!" Nogg thrust his trident. It caused an explosion of energy. It was Ki Strike.

Nogg again lost the exchange despite Merfolk's incredible strength stat. He was sent a few steps back. Viking came forward and took his place. He slashed at Kaghast with Savage Cleave. Kaghast swiped to the side. The impact between his Katar and Viking's axe sent Viking crashing into the corridor's wall.

"Hurry it up, will you?" John shouted. He was controlling his Sea Deity's Arms to fight off the multiple opponents from the back, but he couldn't do this for long. Not to mention his bloodline skill had a duration, and it was almost over.

"Bloody hell! Can't you see we are trying?!" Viking shouted back.

"I ain't talking to you!" John returned.

"Kaghast, behind you!" Gridhacker shouted a warning.

"I know," Kaghast moved to the side as a cutlass stabbed from his back.

The cutlass missed and Kaghast punched at the person who held the cutlass. That person was Will Corner. Kaghast sent a few more fast hits at Will. Will's HP dropped fast.

When Kaghast was about to use a big skill to finish Will, a score of green eels materialized out of nowhere and coiled around his body. These eels tightened. Kaghast was unable to move.

"Nice one!" Viking exclaimed as he used Jump Assault combined with Heavy Cleave on Kaghast's head.

The Eels Entanglement was Nogg's skill. This skill was powerful enough to bind a level 80 mythical-grade dragon turtle for a few seconds when Nogg was still level 60. He was level 81 now. This skill had no problem immobilizing Kaghast. Nogg also didn't waste the chance. He stabbed forward with his trident.

Will joined the party by using his cutlass.

"What are you just standing there for?!" John used one of his water tentacles and shoved Thelgrun toward the stairs. Thelgrun had been uncertain about whether he should make a run for the stairs or join the three in hitting Kaghast.

Kaghast was very angry for getting beat without being able to hit back. He also saw Thelgrun about to slip past him. He uttered an inhuman yell that caused everyone's head to spin.

His body then grew larger. As it did, his skin color changed. It became darker and scaly. His head became abnormally large with a pointy nose. His mouth widened and filled with sharp teeth.

"F*ck! He can use Beast Form," John cursed.

The beast form Kaghast used was shark form. With that transformation, his strength increased exponentially. He uttered another yell and heaved. The eels that were binding him were ripped apart.

"Crap!" Will cursed. He jumped back as Kaghast made a circular attack.

That circular attack was Whirlwind Slash. Will dodged the skill because he had jumped away beforehand, but the skill hit Nogg, Viking, and Thelgrun who was about to pass beside Kaghast.

Kaghast then reached out his hands to grab Thelgrun who had fallen to the floor.

"Aw… F*ck this!" Will exclaimed and used his Pirate King's level 70 skill. He originally didn't want to use this skill at this place because this corridor was too cramped. The skill would hit everyone including himself, but he thought it was better than letting Thelgrun fall to the enemies' hand.

As he used the skill, an unbelievable amount of water suddenly poured out of nowhere. The water quickly filled the corridor and washed over everyone. The water was extremely turbulent and no one there could resist its force. Even Khaghast who took a low stance once he saw the incoming water could only withstand for a few seconds before the rush of the water swept him off the floor.

The water washed everyone along the corridor, dealing damage to them. Allies and opponents tumbled inside the water as it carried them to the end of the corridor.

The skill Will used was called Roaring Ocean. It was normally an AOE offensive skill that dealt physical damage with huge knockback force. In this corridor, the amount of water was condensed, and thus the pressure was stronger. Will was among those who were tumbling inside the water.

As they neared the end of the corridor, Will's sea canon reappeared. At the same time, he sent John a message, "I hope those dwarves can swim."
