Tap.
Cale approaching.
The Wanderer Mujeon, who was looking at him as if he were flabbergasted.
'What is going on?'
His second eldest brother had said that.
Soon, the Third Emperor, the Dragon King, would finish his business in the Demon Kingdom and return to help them.
'...Something has happened.'
Unlike his confused appearance, Mujeon reached a clear conclusion.
Cale Henituse, who knows about him.
He has information about the Wanderers of the Five-Colored Family.
Therefore, he decided his course of action.
'I kill him.'
Capture him alive to obtain information?
That can be easily done by taking his corpse.
If killing him is difficult.
'Run away. I must deliver the information to my second eldest brother.'
Cale Henituse approaching calmly.
In contrast, he felt the black-haired Sword Master positioning himself agilely behind him.
Tap. Tap.
Cale Henituse approaching.
He had heard that he defeated the saint of the God of Chaos cult, blocked the descent of a god, and that the Wanderers Cho and Ryeon witnessed that situation and fled.
'Although Cho and Ryeon said Cale Henituse is strong.'
Well.
Especially Ryeon, the sister, was said to have strongly expressed her opinion on Cale Henituse's strength, but in the end, it was the answer of someone who had failed her mission.
'And they probably fled scared seeing the God of Chaos trying to descend.'
Mujeon judged that the siblings Cho and Ryeon, who spoke of caring for each other but only lost dignity, were weaker than him. Well, it was said that combined they were very strong. But since he hadn't seen it, he couldn't believe it.
Besides, Ryeon, who handles ice, was definitely weaker than him if she was alone.
'I will lose time if I delay.'
However, Mujeon did not underestimate the siblings Cho and Ryeon.
Those two were definitely strong. They would probably be even stronger if they attacked together.
That is to say, Cale Henituse and his group were quite strong. He didn't assume the possibility of capturing Cale Henituse alive to obtain information just in case.
Therefore,
'Once.'
Just once.
He would try to kill Cale Henituse using his maximum power.
If that failed.
'I will flee when the enemies are confused by that attack.'
Mujeon remembered the sword sheath hidden inside his robe.
'I won't give any chance.'
Cale Henituse approaching calmly.
'He underestimates me because he defeated Cho and Ryeon.'
That human looking down on him was truly pathetic.
"Ha! Is it that now someone like you thinks of fighting against me?"
Therefore, Mujeon followed the rhythm so that human would underestimate him even more.
"How dare you, a simple mortal! It is truly ridiculous."
Hahaha!
He mocked Cale, who was approaching, to the fullest.
Tap.
And he also walked forward.
"I will give you a chance."
Seven steps.
The distance between Cale and him.
"I will ask you. From whom did you hear my information?"
Tap.
He took another step.
He felt the black-haired Sword Master behind him taking a step, but he pretended to ignore it calmly.
'Now one more step.'
Just one more step, if Cale Henituse gets closer, he will be within range.
Within the range where I can kill him.
"I prefer not to tell you."
Cale Henituse laughed at him and took a step forward calmly.
Yes.
Tap.
'Five steps!'
In the moment he realized, Mujeon's body moved fast like lightning.
His hand headed towards the sword sheath at his waist, hidden inside the robe.
Sreung.
The sword that came out in an instant.
But it only had the hilt, there was no blade.
The sheath was empty.
However, this empty sheath.
That was Mujeon's sword.
Chuaaaaa-
Water gushed from the sword.
Water several meters high gushed out immediately and formed a blade in an instant.
Chuaaaa-
If he had made a sword simply with water, it wouldn't have reached the Transparent level.
"Wave, rise!"
Chuaaaa-
The water sword contained a wave.
The wave that always exists in the sea.
But the anomaly of that wave is unpredictable for anyone.
The Third Emperor, the Dragon King, seeing Mujeon's sword that contained a wave, accepted him as his sworn brother.
'Because in the sea there are always waves.'
Yes.
Now, being in the sea, as my great brother the Dragon King said, it is a wave that always exists.
And the wave contained in the sword now is not a calm wave.
It was a huge wave, as if it were going to swallow everything.
Chuaaaaa-
The blade elongated abnormally and its size increased.
It became a wave that would cover a human, a ship.
For that wave, a human five steps away was nothing.
'And my younger brother's wave is sharp.'
As the Dragon King said, Mujeon's wave was a 'sword'.
What is the essence of a sword?
To cut.
His wave, although it looked like water, contained the essence of the sword.
It was sharp.
If he touched that sharp wave, not only would Cale Henituse's whole body be covered in wounds, but his body would be cut by the wave.
"Cale-nim!"
"Young Master Cale!"
The urgent voices of Choi Han and Archie echoed on the deck.
Mujeon, without reacting to those voices, only looked at Cale Henituse and brandished his sword.
Because he couldn't afford a lack of vigilance.
Sreung.
He felt the black-haired Sword Master running towards him from behind, but he ignored him.
Because a wave that has risen does not stop.
"Deploy a shield!"
Choi Han's shout.
But the tip of the sword containing the wave had already arrived near Cale.
It was then.
"Young Master Cale, we can't break the ship!"
When the words Archie shouted reached everyone's ears.
"Kahahaha! The sea is coming!"
And when he let out a laugh as if he were enjoying it.
"……!"
Mujeon felt the deck he was standing on shake abruptly.
No, the ship was tilting.
"!!"
But he didn't have time to worry about the ship tilting, nor about the direction of his sword tip deviating due to the sudden shaking.
Under the ship.
The water surface.
No, even lower.
'Yes.'
The sea.
He felt a force concentrating in the sea.
As he had a Singularity of wave of water attribute, Mujeon couldn't ignore it.
And it was an instant.
In the moment he realized.
The sea, Cale, had already completed all preparations.
Chuaaaaa-
A wave rose.
It was a real wave.
This place where numerous pirate ships were crowded.
The pirate ship of Shark, located in the center.
The sea rose towards that pirate ship.
Kiii, bang!
Kwaaaa-
Numerous pirate ships around it tilted or shook.
But the pirates who until now had been groaning couldn't say anything and even covered their mouths tightly with both hands to contain the moans that wanted to come out.
"……."
"……."
Everyone finally felt it.
Both pirates and sailors, who had sailed on the sea all their lives, could feel it more clearly than others.
That the agitated sea surface, the surrounding sea they could perceive now, was abnormal.
And that that sea moved following a person's order.
The sea on which countless ships rested.
That this agitated sea, like the land, belonged to someone.
That was a true terror for them.
"……."
The pirates trembled.
A wave rising quickly, endlessly.
That huge wave, rising enough to hide the moonlight and the stars, like a tsunami-
"Ah-"
Mujeon looked down, at himself.
Yes. That wave was looking directly at him.
The sea rising as if to cover the sky.
"Swallow it."
In the moment Cale's word fell,
it lunged towards Mujeon, towards his wave sword.
'It's coming...!'
The sea is coming towards me.
Perhaps because it was night, the sea water was black.
In the moment Mujeon saw that sea, he understood that he couldn't win.
Because a simple wave wasn't even a handful of the sea.
'I must flee-'
Yes. I must flee right now.
The hair on Mujeon's entire body stood on end.
He was someone who knew this sea better than the pirates.
Because the sea was also water.
And because the Third Emperor, the Dragon King, handled the sea.
'It's different-'
That's why, now he perceived it accurately.
Cale Henituse does not handle the sea.
It is water.
He handles water.
As his wave is also water, it will be devoured if it touches that huge wave.
That water is something that, like the sea, swallows everything.
'Eh, how-?'
Singularity of Transparent level, and with water attribute, so even while perceiving this situation correctly, he couldn't believe it.
'Why, stronger than me-?'
That water of Cale Henituse had surpassed the Transparent level.
Would it be Five-Colored level? It seems it could defeat even the Third Emperor-
But he didn't have a chance to judge that.
He turned around.
The black-haired Sword Master appeared.
He is not the problem.
Mujeon moved his steps hurriedly.
He had to avoid that wave.
But if he could avoid it, it wouldn't be a calamity.
Kwaaaaaang!
The wave that covered the pirate flagship.
The ship was devoured by the sea in an instant.
Those watching, before the spray that splashed, stood petrified without even thinking of breathing.
Chuaaaaa---
Because outside the countless pirate ships surrounding the grouped sailors,
a wave rose.
The night sea, rising as if to cover the sky, looked at them.
As if it wasn't going to let any trick pass.
"……."
"……."
Everyone, holding their breath, looked at the single moving wave, trapped in the prison of the sea.
A huge wave.
The flagship disappeared by it.
Churururur-
Chururur-
Chains of water rose above the sea surface.
Chains as big as a ship.
Churururur-
Those chains headed towards the depths of the sea again.
Two chains were already oppressing Mujeon's whole body under the sea.
"Grk, kgh!"
Mujeon's breath was being cut off.
Although he was free inside water due to his wave attribute.
Now that sea only restricted him.
The water was not on his side.
Churururur-
Another chain approached and oppressed his body even more.
He lacked air under the sea.
It was a terror he hadn't felt for a long time.
Chururur-
A thinner chain approached towards him.
And, circling his neck, dragged him towards the depths of the sea.
"Uh, ah-"
Although he wanted to speak, he couldn't.
It dragged him quickly to the depths of the ocean and then lifted him, shaking him again.
He couldn't resist.
Because even if he created a wave, this voracious sea would swallow it.
Churururur-
The spray dissipated.
In the place where the flagship was, huge chains rose again.
"……."
There was Mujeon, slumped and unconscious.
And,
Chuaaaaa-
Shark's pirate ship emerged again to the sea surface.
Tangled in chains.
And on it were Cale and his group. Even the pirate Shark had an absent and stunned expression.
-Human! I put a shield so water wouldn't enter the ship! What would have happened if I had brought the Heavenly Demon a little later?
No one except Cale heard Raon's voice, who was invisible.
Instead, what they saw was the gaze of the one who created the prison of the sea with a serene expression.
"……."
"……."
The allied sailors.
The enemy pirates.
When no one could easily open their mouth.
Cale asked with an impassive tone.
"Will you keep fighting in this sea?"
This sea.
Everyone understood the meaning of those words.
This sea where their ships were now did not belong to them.
That person in front of them.
"...The, the owner of the sea-"
That person was the owner of the sea.
Thud. Tok.
One or two pirates dropped the weapons they were holding.
Tok. Thud. Thud thud.
And that speed increased gradually, and numerous pirates lost their will to fight.
Cale, observing that scene, heard a voice in his mind.
-Oh.
It was the Sky Eating Water.
-I have become very strong.
True.
Cale pretended to be calm, but internally he was a bit surprised.
He had tried to capture the Wanderer of Transparent level Singularity using a lot of strength at once.
But that amount of strength was greater than he thought.
So he captured him more easily than expected.
Above all-
"Am I not tired?"
He wasn't tired.
-Right. Are you still okay?
The Crybaby was also surprised.
Cale felt again that the Sky Eating Water had truly become much stronger.
He finally realized how much he was capable of facing the Third Emperor, the Dragon King, a Singularity of Five-Colored level.
Ssiik.
Cale felt that all the past suffering had been worth it, and the corner of his lips rose limitlessly.
-H, human! What trick do you plan to do? Then tell me!
Raon spoke urgently.
"!"
"!!"
The pirates trembled even more at Cale's twisted smile.
And the pirate Shark, who met Cale's gaze.
"...E, eh, that--!"
While he stuttered without being able to speak correctly.
Tap tap.
Cale approached him.
Shark, trying to avoid as best as he could the unconscious Mujeon trapped in the water chains beyond Cale's shoulder, trembled violently.
To him, Cale said smiling:
"Shark, let's go to your house."
"...Eh, yes?"
"No. It's not your house anymore."
"...Eh, yes?"
"It's my house."
Yes.
Before going to the Central Sea, Cale thought he should establish an intermediate base he could return to at any time.
After all this effort, couldn't he appropriate a house of some pirates?
"...Eh?"
To Shark, who asked dazedly with an absent expression, Cale explained kindly.
"My house, Island 19. You guide us the way to my house."
Cale showed a bright and fresh smile.
-Human, you look more and more like the Crown Prince. But are we going to have another house?
Raon's words were casually ignored.
