224: 213 I am the Shark-King!

(2/4) 224: 213 I am the Shark-King!

(2/4) “Front and back, a pincer attack…

seems like a desperate situation.”

With pursuers behind and obstacles ahead, even Master Gossay felt a tinge of nervousness, but Ian became completely calm.

He gazed into the dark sandstorm before him, using Foresight View to see through all that could blind the eye, locking onto the Crocodragon hidden behind the mud.

But it didn’t make much difference.

The sand and mud were precisely the Crocodragon’s ‘speed reducer’ designed to thwart him.

——Once he entered, he would be slowed down, entangled, with the key propulsion system clogged with grit and dust, forced to wrestle with the Crocodragon…

However, if he tried to circumvent it, he would be ensnared by the Gargantuan Eel charging straight at him.

A simple yet practical method, and one might even call it an open strategy that relies on true skill — in such situations, it all boils down to raw strength; the weaker one would perish.

But sometimes, the way to break such strategies is equally simple.

That is, to charge head-on with the fastest and greatest speed and force.

“Shasha!

Go and ram that Gargantuan Eel from the side!”

Issuing commands without hesitation, Ian didn’t think there was anything wrong with using the same move three times: “Although it’s very dangerous, you should have no problem!

Their main target is me.

Hit and run without stopping!”

Having followed the Armor Suit all the way, the Ironclad Shark, which could have detached and escaped the pursuit of the Gargantuan Eel early on, suddenly felt something.

——That is, if it chose not to take risks and left directly, it would indeed achieve the so-called ‘safety’.

But then, for the rest of its shark life, it would most likely remain at the First Power Level…

and that would be all.

It would be chased by the Gargantuan Eel, hunted by the Sea Dragon, and it could only bully ordinary Magical Beasts, but also be preyed upon by more Magical Beasts.

Neither advancing nor retreating, stuck here, in a most awkward position.

On the contrary, if it chose to fight alongside this new boss…

though full of peril, almost sure to lead to death.

It had an inexplicable allure.

A thrill that attracted it, a leap of excitement at the thought of making a choice.

How could it want to bully others without taking risks?

The Ironclad Shark’s sapphire-like eyes twinkled, slowly turning red-hot, as it immediately veered around in an arc.

As expected, the Spirits of Tenglan didn’t care at all about this Ironclad Shark — its target was the Armor Suit, the orders of the Great Shaman, how could this mere First Power Level Ironclad Shark be considered a threat?

Thus, the great shark had ample time to gather strength and accelerate.

Then, like the front of a locomotive, it rammed with enough force to punch through a large ship, straight into the back section of the Gargantuan Eel’s body!

——————!!!

In an instant, the unprepared Gargantuan Eel was knocked off course, silent in its painful howl.

It fell to the seabed nearby, stirring up a large expanse of mud and sand, even coiling its body into a ball, losing the ability to chase for a good while.

Even the Great Shaman was momentarily stupefied: “An Ironclad Shark?

But why…”

“Why would an Ironclad Shark dare to attack the Spirits of Tenglan?!”

What he didn’t know was that when Hiliard single-handedly fought against both Spirits of Tenglan, leaving them both severely injured and retreating to their lair to recuperate…

it was this shark that pulled the old man’s boat.

Fear?

Although not as strong for now, this Ironclad Shark had never known the meaning of fear!

——It was you, Totem Master!

Meanwhile.

Just as the Ironclad Shark turned its head, desperately delaying the Spirits of Tenglan, and a wall of silt and sand raised by the Crocodragon appeared in front of Ian and his companions.

Ian activated the Silent Voice Ring, enlarging its shielding range to the maximum, briefly vanishing from the sensory range of the Gargantuan Eel and the Crocodragon, along with his Armor Suit.

Immediately thereafter, under the boy’s control, the Armor Suit’s element engine roared with an overload.

“Charge,” he said, as the power of Origin Quality surged, erupting forth.

——Buzz!

Buzz!

The thrusters on the lower half of the body had already sucked in a large quantity of seawater, which then compressed.

Simultaneously, the power of the Wave Singer and Fairy Wings superimposed heavily——In that instant, the seawater inside the Armor Suit’s thrusters expanded and vaporized, merging with the air.

Then, from every propulsion port on its body, erupted like a volcano!

The Armor Suit’s thrusters, along with the triple force of the Wave Singer and Fairy Wings, boosted the Armor Suit’s speed to over 150 meters per second in the first second, and it continued to accelerate.

It wasn’t swimming against the resistance of the seawater…

but rather the raging torrents carried the Armor Suit in their surge!

The terrible turbulence surrounded the Armor Suit, yet the force of the Fairy Wings gently converted all resistance into propulsive power——at the same time, this sea battle-ready Armor Suit pulled out a sharp, sea-use, giant armor-piercing dragon lance from behind, its stout steel conical head gleaming with a sharp cold light.

This weapon was originally designed for bombarding ironclad battleships, and now it was aimed at the Second-Level Magical Beast hidden in the silt and sand.

Under Ian’s piloting, the Armor Suit turned itself into a cannonball, crashing directly towards the enemy!

Forget about slowing down, forget about the consequences, he didn’t think about any of that, there were always the enemies’ flesh and blood to cushion the impact, their bodies to slow him down!

All he needed was to charge.

Then, to the astonishment and fury of the Crocodragon, he thrust the lance!

——Today, either the Great Shaman or he must die here!

Behind the shoulders, waist, and on the lower half of the crab-shaped chassis of the Armor Suit, there were acceleration ports from which violent white mist erupted, forming almost wing-like shapes in the sea.

Under the power of the Fairy Wings, the water resistance nearly vanished, while the several-ton heavy iron colossus, armed with the giant dragon lance and hurtling at a speed of 540 kilometers per hour, slammed ferociously into the Crocodragon.

In that instant, completely unprepared for the enemy’s charge, the Crocodragon let out a low growl.

Being close to the seabed, it did not lack the echoing of the Earth Element; in just a moment, countless amounts of silt converged at its side, solid as steel plates, the earthy yellow lines momentarily flashing above those hardened grey silt, seemingly indestructible.

But the armor-piercing dragon lance was made to penetrate the high-strength alloy armor of battleships.

The hastily formed defenses of the Second-Level Magical Beast…

were far from sufficient!

Boom!

The Armor Suit solidly struck the Crocodragon’s defensive stone slabs, its iron arms twisting and distorting under the colossal pressure like twisted dough, ultimately shattering completely!

However, by contrast, the silver dragon lance plunged deeply to its hilt, viciously stabbing into the Crocodragon’s lower jaw!

Instantly, orange-yellow blood flowed out, dispersing into the ocean, and with a crisp sound of bone cracking, the Crocodragon let out a low, painful howl under the water.

Whoosh!

Because of the Silent Voice Ring’s effect, not immediately noticing the Armor Suit’s charge, the wounded and furious beast swung a claw in anger, sending the Armor Suit flying.

But the dragon lance remained in place——as the silt cleared, a metallic spike was skewered obliquely into the Crocodragon’s lower jaw, making it difficult to close its massive mouth, barely moving without pain.

An arm for a massive jaw, a fair trade!
