The First Magic World War

Charles spread his hands and retracted the Holy Light Divine State Title!

He couldn't solve this problem.

The Holy Light Divine State Title required paper slips from the ancient Gomodoro Tree, and he had already procured the Gomodoro Tree. Could he really just take a few paper slips from it and then discard the tree?

This item, though strange, was of immeasurable value.

When the Golden Ring returned to his finger, all thoughts dissipated, and even the "Holy Light Divine State Title Voyage Log" became still.

Charles retracted the Holy Light Divine State Title, disappointing many, but they could understand. After all, with a formidable enemy at hand, it was inappropriate to continue indulging in luxury. They all blamed Georgiadi Hadrian for their troubles.

Kratos saw Charles retract the Holy Light Divine State Title and walked up to him, whispering, "I recommend we leave Solomon Island."

Charles was slightly surprised; indeed, he still had some concern for Great Sea Serpent Witch Posuji's tooth, but with that Extraordinary Object in the hands of Georgiadi Hadrian, he definitely couldn't retrieve it. Considering this, there was little point in staying on Solomon Island any longer.

Kratos continued, "Although our fleet is powerful, this island is truly bizarre. If we stay, danger will come eventually. Besides, we're docked in a canyon with only one exit. If Georgiadi Hadrian blocks it with his warships, we will have but one fate – to be trapped unto death."

Charles was startled and then came to a sudden realization.

This canyon was a natural harbor, but the fleet hiding inside was all too easily trapped.

Georgiadi Hadrian had more Magical Alchemy Warships at his disposal and indeed had the power to block the exit of the strait.

With these thoughts, Charles could no longer care about the Great Sea Serpent Witch Posuji's tooth or Solomon Island. As for Drusinia, still lingering on Solomon, and Gareth, who hadn't returned, they were no longer in his considerations. He shouted, "Set sail, we're leaving this canyon."

Following Charles's orders, first, seven Magical Alchemy Warships left the port one by one, followed by the Dolmabahçe Number. As the fleet had just left the canyon, a fleet appeared on the sea, cutting through the waves and swiftly approaching.

Charles felt a chill down his spine. If it hadn't been for Kratos – a former Royal Knights Order grandmaster, both old in rank and experience – reminding him, his fleet would definitely have been trapped by Georgiadi Hadrian in the canyon, leaving them no choice but to fight a bloody battle where no tactics could be employed.

Georgiadi Hadrian had just personally scouted Charles's fleet. After returning, he immediately devised a plan. This time, after killing Charles's messenger, he commanded his fleet to come, but he didn't expect Charles to respond so quickly and preemptively leave the port.

Without hesitation, Georgiadi Hadrian ordered all the warships to open fire.

Charles had no intention of engaging in battle and ordered his fleet to race at full speed towards the Agres Sea.

Both sides had Magical Alchemy Warships, and their speeds were not much different – after all, they were both products of the Black Phoenix, and even the batch stationed at Black Phoenix City was newly built, with slightly superior quality.

Both fleets had just left Solomon Island when Solomon Island shook violently, and a black surge erupted from the island, growing more and more ferocious, chasing after both fleets.

Seeing this, Charles was greatly startled and ordered his eight warships to give it their all. Georgiadi Hadrian also didn't dare to delay and commanded his warships to sail at full speed.

After the black tidal wave surged, Solomon Island trembled slightly and sank into the depths of the sea.

Charles, atop the highest deck of Dolmabahçe Number, witnessed this scene, feeling a chill in his heart because neither the emergence of the black tidal wave nor the disappearance of Solomon Island was a natural event.

Although he did not know what had happened on Solomon Island, a very powerful force must have been provoked.

Charles and Georgeadi Hadrian's fleet, after all, were three times faster than ordinary ships, so the black tidal wave that surged from Solomon Island did not catch up to them; at its closest, it was only a few kilometers away.

Everyone on the two fleets could clearly see that within the black tidal wave, there were densely packed resentful spirits, skeletons, stark white floating corpses, and a great quantity of deceased sea creatures.

As the two fleets accelerated and moved further away from the black tidal wave, everyone on board could not help but heave a sigh of relief. The original exploration of Solomon Island, though eerie, did not instill much fear of various monsters as there were many Transcendents and someone of the Sacred level in attendance.

But the black tidal wave that chased them in the end was completely not on the same scale as the monsters they encountered.

Even Georgeadi Hadrian could sense that the black sprays erupting from Solomon Island were not on the same scale as the island's creatures.

After sailing for half a day, the two fleets intentionally distanced themselves from each other.

Georgeadi Hadrian urged his fleet to travel quickly, escaping the mysterious black tidal wave; his fifteen Magical Alchemy Warships were sorely in need of maintenance, and the people on board were still in shock and needed some time to regain their combat strength.

Charles was even less inclined to fight; he just wanted to hurry to the Agres Sea and resolve his own crisis.

In the depths of the sea, unknown to Charles and Georgeadi Hadrian, countless Ling demons formed an army tens of kilometers long, marching slowly but decisively. They were unfazed by the seawater, moving freely even on the ocean floor.

If either of them knew, they would have stopped at nothing to exterminate this group of Ling demons.

It was with some relief that Charles finally lost sight of Georgeadi Hadrian's fleet, knowing that he had temporarily shaken off the pursuers, and he couldn't help but exhale, saying, "We've thrown off Georgeadi Hadrian's fleet. Now let us travel at full speed to enter the Agres Sea as soon as possible!"

In his own Captain's Cabin, Georgeadi Hadrian looked at the enormous tooth in front of him; being of the Peak Holy Order, he had long sensed the surging power within this giant tooth.

He did not know that this was a tooth from the Great Sea Serpent Witch Posuji, and was pondering how to forge it into an Extraordinary Weapon.

At that moment, a red-haired beauty stealthily clung to one of the Black Phoenix People's Magical Alchemy Warships.

Drusinea did not expect that the Solomon Islands would suddenly sink, forced to leave hastily; she did not catch up with Charles's fleet but ended up chasing Georgeadi Hadrian's fleet instead.

Just as she surfaced, Gareth also emerged from the water, giving Drusinea a cold glance, but did not continue to act and instead flipped onto the ship.

After this Knight of the Sacred level boarded, his appearance changed. He quickly stripped off his clothes, even tossing them into the sea, and casually killed a passing pirate in the process, stripping him of his clothes to don himself, then threw the unlucky pirate's body into the sea as well.

This set of actions was so skillfully performed that it was almost frightening, leaving Drusinea somewhat dazed watching it happen.
