On an island far from the cities, a sea monster with a size of more than two hundred feet was floating above the center of the island.

The giant sea monster suddenly disappeared, and what was left in the center of the island was a woman with a seductive body, fair white skin, and a beautiful face. She had mermaid ears and blue scales that only covered important parts of her body.

She walked around the island until she arrived at the shore, suddenly, a trident made of water appeared in her hand, and she slammed it down on the sandy floor, which made the whole island shake and the water around it ripple, causing waves.

A man with blue-green scales covering his whole body like armor suddenly appeared.

"My Queen, I have already prepared my people we are now just awaiting your command and we are ready to fight at any time." He spoke to the woman respectfully as he kneeled and bowed his head.

"Good. Now call all of them here. It seems that those humans are planning to attack first, so we will ambush them." The Leviathan commanded, and the man went back to the sea.

Meanwhile, Lax was onboard a ship heading towards the Leviathan's island, along with 30 more ships containing a hundred people each.

Lax was wondering how they were going to fight in the water if the Leviathan ambushed them, as the Leviathan was an intelligent creature, so it could even command its subordinates to plan an ambush.

While Lax was thinking about all that, in the ship that was in the foreground, the Sea King was discussing something with two people.

"Head Captain, have you informed all the captains about the plan?" The Sea King was questioned.

"Yes, your highness, but for you to use that legendary artifact, it seems that the Leviathan is truly a terrifying opponent." The head captain replied.

"Your highness that artifact will remove all the water in the lake for an hour and this will caused a lot of damage." The vice captain added.

"I know but this is the only way we can remove their advantage and this is still better than us losing the battle and getting all of our cities destroyed by them."

Hearing the Sea Kings words the two of them nodded their head in agreement as their gaze moved towards the island 2 kilometers away where the Leviathan was located.

==========

On the ship, Lax suddenly felt a burst of energy coming from below the lake's surface.

"Everyone! Get off the ship! HURRY!" The captain of a ship warned, but he was already too late as a blast of energy passed through 13 ships, destroying them in the process.

Out of 1,300 people in those 13 ships, only 170 or so survived, and that number was still going down as Lax saw those survivors getting dragged under the water.

"Everyone brace for impact!" The remaining captains announced and...

"HUH?"

"AHHHHHH!!!" Lax's confused voice suddenly turned into a scream, as he was not expecting all the water in the lake to disappear.

It seems that only the captains were informed by the head captain, as everyone else, along with Lax, screamed as the ships fell at a fast rate. The lake was estimated to be a thousand meters deep, so the ship continued to fall for a few seconds until it crashed to the bottom floor.

The shock was absorbed by the ships, making the people inside the ship safe and not meat paste.

The people inside the ship were still in a state of shock, but they quickly sobbered up when they heard the captain's words.

"They are here! Everyone prepare to fight the Siyokoys!"

As the captain finished his words, one of the Sea King's soldiers screamed as he was pulled down the ship. The whole ship went silent as the soldiers screams were heard no more.

Seeing that the captain ordered everyone to attack, the soldiers and mercenaries jumped off the ship.

Lax too jumped, and as he landed on the ground, he saw two Siyokoys in front of him, and he quickly took the sword inside his spatial ring.

The two Siyokoys bodies were covered in green scales, their faces were ugly, and in their hands they were holding a trident.

Lax made the first move as he quickly moved in front of one of the Siyokoys and swung his sword at him.

*Clang*

The sword was blocked by the trident, but Lax quickly retrieved his spear in his spatial ring and pierced the Siyokoy's heart.

The Siyokoy died, and Lax kicked his lifeless body towards the other Siyokoy, making him fall.

Lax put his spear back into the spatial ring as he disappeared from his spot and appeared behind Siyokoy, who just got back up.

*Swish*

Lax swung his sword from his right, aiming it towards the Siyokoy's neck. The Siyokoy hurriedly went to block the attack as he turned his body, but he was too late as Lax's attack had already passed through his neck, cutting it cleanly, and his head flew into the air before landing on the ground as blood gushed out of his headless body.

Lax quickly moved a few meters away so as not to get blood smeared on him, and then he looked at his sword that was dripping with blood.

"That was a good warm up." He said, and his gaze went toward his next target as he once again disappeared from his spot.
