Splash! The sound of a violent current could be heard.

On the red sea, it suddenly began to spin, and a vortex appeared.

As soon as the vortex appeared, it began to spin rapidly and spread out rapidly. In a moment, it had expanded to a diameter of nearly a thousand meters.

Under the strong suction force, the surrounding sea corpses were swept into the vortex in piles, and sank to the bottom of the sea along with the high-speed spinning vortex.

It was as if there was a huge abyss mouth below.

On the deck, Heath’s hair stood on end.

He waved his hands rapidly and drew out runes one after another. He chanted incantations non-stop, and his spirit power was completely focused on controlling the Wizard ship.

The Wizard ship’s power was fully activated, and it quickly retreated in the direction it came from.

The vortex came too suddenly, and it just happened to appear in the direction he was originally traveling in. Now, how to escape from the red sea was no longer the top priority. The most important thing was how to avoid being sucked into the vortex.

“Damn it! Hurry up!”

Under Heath’s repeated urging, the Wizard ship rushed into the red sea and quickly sailed far away.

It retreated for nearly a thousand meters until it was confirmed that the effect of the vortex was not that far away. Heath then changed the spell runes and stopped the Wizard ship.

Standing on the deck, Heath looked in that direction from a thousand meters away.

At this moment, a large vortex appeared on the surface of the sea. The diameter of the vortex was nearly a thousand meters. It spread on the surface of the sea like a giant mouth of the abyss, quickly swallowing the marine corpses on the surface of the sea.

“What exactly is that vortex...”

Heath frowned.

The appearance of this vortex was too sudden and obviously did not seem to be formed naturally...

“Eh?”

At this moment, Heath suddenly felt a violent elemental fluctuation coming from beneath the vortex.

Under the red surface of the sea, a black shadow could be vaguely seen. Moreover, that black shadow was still rising to the bottom of the sea at an extremely fast speed.

Just as Heath was shocked, a terrifying scene appeared.

Crash!

A huge sea creature jumped up from under the sea surface.

It seemed to be a catfish, but it was incomparably huge. At a glance, it was probably thousands of meters long, and one had to know that it was only a part of its body that jumped out of the sea surface.

What a terrifying giant!

The huge catfish jumped high like a naughty child and then crashed heavily into the sea. In an instant, it set off a huge wave hundreds of meters high, sweeping up the surrounding sea carcasses and quickly spreading to the surroundings.

Then, it opened its huge mouth, which was as big as a football field. With a light opening and closing, countless sea carcasses rushed into its mouth.

“Catfish Whale! It’s the Chalmo Catfish Whale!”

Heath quickly recognized the identity of the giant beast. It was a sea creature called the Catfish Whale. It belonged to a giant species. There were a few Catfish Whales that had even grown into a World Species.

“So I’ve barged into the Catfish Whale’s hunting ground!”

At this time, Heath finally knew where the red sea and the mountain of sea creature corpses came from. They were all done by the Catfish Whale.

Catfish Whales were extremely savage and mischievous sea beasts. Before they ate their prey, they would tease and kill the prey. In addition, they had an astonishing appetite. Because of this, the area where Catfish Whales frequented could often see the spectacular sight of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Heath could not help but feel a chill in his heart.

Catfish Whales were Sea Emperor-level demonized creatures. Their strength was equivalent to that of high-level Wizards. They were only second to Stigmata-level existences!

“Oh god, I can’t be that unlucky!”

Without much time to think, Heath quickly controlled the Wizard ship to sail to the side. The most important thing now was to get to this dangerous area as soon as possible.

However, just as the Wizard ship started to move, he suddenly felt a sharp feeling behind him.

He subconsciously turned his head, but he suddenly saw that the catfish, who was eating, had already noticed him. At this time, it was staring at him with its big round eyes.

A chill rose from the bottom of his heart.

“F*ck!” Heath cursed.

Then, he turned and left.

He left in time, but the Catfish Whale was not going to let him go.

The Catfish Whale’s belly was covered with dense Whale Lice and Barnacles. These were the relatives of the Catfish Whale. They usually lived on the Catfish Whale’s body and relied on the Catfish Whale’s metabolic secretions to survive. At the same time, they also obeyed the Catfish Whale’s orders.

At this moment, these dolphin-sized arthropod sea beasts fell into the sea from the body of the Catfish Whale and swarmed toward Heath in groups.

The speed of the Wizard ship was not considered slow. On average, it had a speed of at least 40 knots. On land, it was no slower than the speeding cheetahs.

However, compared to these sea creatures, it was still too slow. Any Barnacle had a speed of 40 to 50 knots. This chase was at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing that it was inevitable to be caught, Heath did not hesitate. He took out the Necromancer’s Staff and stood at the bow of the ship, ready to face the enemy.

1,000 meters...

500 meters...

100 meters...

30 meters!

Heath, who had been waiting, finally launched an attack at this time.

He raised the Necromancer’s Staff in his hand high, and a large number of incantations came out of his mouth. The spell that he had been preparing for a long time was suddenly released.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound of rushing wind could be heard.

A gust of cold wind seemed to have suddenly blown over the surface of the sea.

Suddenly, a ball of blue flame ignited in the skull at the top of the Necromancer’s Staff. The flame surged out of the skull’s eye sockets like water and fell into the surface of the sea.

It was as if there was a layer of boiling oil floating on the surface of the sea. As soon as the blue flame fell, it quickly spread to the surroundings. The entire sea seemed to have been set on fire in an instant.

A blood-red magic array that covered a thousand meters appeared on the surface of the sea. The blue flame quickly wrapped around the corpses in the sea. However, a series of cracking sounds could be heard. All the sea beasts that were floating on the surface of the sea had woken up.

It was the [Undead Revival] that Heath was used to.

The army that suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea completely caught the Whale Lice and Barnacles off guard. For a moment, they could only hear a loud ‘pu pu’ sound. Fresh blood splattered everywhere and the Whale Lice and Barnacles were strangled to death.

However, there were simply too many of them.

Although Heath’s ambush was effective in eliminating a large number of Whale Lice and Barnacles, there were still more Whale Lice and Barnacles charging over from behind. They came in groups, one after another, and there were countless of them.

However, Heath himself did not intend to rely on just a little ambush to eliminate all of these beasts.

After summoning the undead army, he quickly waved his fingers and controlled the undead army to form battle formations on the surface of the sea. He fought fiercely against the ocean army by surrounding, enclosing, and cutting them off.

These were the military knowledge he had obtained from the military books left behind by Campbell. With the cooperation of the undead army, the power unleashed was immeasurable.

Soon, through his continuous cutting and outflanking, the Whale Lice and Barnacles that were charging at them were unknowingly squeezed together by him through the continuous transformation of their formation.

Looking from the sky, an area surrounded by the undead sea beasts appeared in the sea. This area was filled with densely packed Whale Lice and Barnacles. The sea beasts that were charging at them were basically all gathered here.

It was impossible for the sea beast army that relied solely on Heath to resurrect to surround and destroy such an army. However, Heath did not intend to destroy them with just the dead sea beasts.

Gathering them here was just to facilitate the release of the next spell.

After gathering the Whale Lice and Barnacles, Heath decisively began the release of the second spell.

He stood on the deck of the bow and raised the Necromancer’s Staff high in his hand. Large sections of incantations came out of his mouth, and the magic power in the magic pool surged toward the staff.

As the incantation was released, a large dark cloud instantly appeared on the surface of the sea.

Amidst the rolling dark clouds, lightning and silver snakes flickered incessantly. Crackling sounds rose and fell, and densely packed lightning and silver snakes gathered.

When the last syllable fell, Heath decisively swung his high staff down.

Lightning: God’s Punishment!

The densely packed lightning and silver snakes gathered together to form an incomparably huge lightning pillar. It was like a giant lightning sword, piercing straight into the surface of the sea!

Pi —— Boom! A deafening boom sounded.

The giant lightning sword slammed heavily into the surface of the sea, and then exploded. Countless lightning and silver snakes rolled out and rushed around like floodgates that were being opened. They tore and tore at everything in this area of the sea crazily.

The dazzling white light illuminated the sea brightly!
