The sky above the entire sea area was still covered with dark clouds.
The chaotic wind was cold and ruthless, sweeping wildly through the heavy gloomy haze, rolling up layers of black cloud waves.
Terrifying waves rose a hundred meters high, and the surging tide danced constantly with the raging wind.
The churning sea looked as if it could explode at any moment, raising another wave that could reach the sky.
Thick white mist hung above the sea, covering the entire dark and deep ocean with a hazy veil.
Large raindrops fell toward the sea, passing through the white mist and smashing into the surface, creating foamy ripples.
Countless ships of all sizes were lifted up, hanging in the air with the mad hurricane.
Heavy raindrops struck the hulls, making dull banging sounds.
The fishermen on the ships hid inside the cabins, looking at the violent wind and rain outside in fear.
After experiencing that wave that almost touched the clouds, they were still alive.
At this moment, they felt extremely lucky.
But this was not a coincidence.
Levi stood on the massive ship, and a delicate and complex magic array suddenly appeared beneath his feet.
In the endless darkness, it was especially eye-catching.
Several rotating arrays spread under Levi's feet, and different colored lights flowed wildly through the patterns.
The magic power in his body seemed almost completely drained.
At his feet were countless empty magic potion bottles.
If it were not for the potions made by the Clavenna family, which the Du Croy family bought two of every day, he might have collapsed and died on the spot.
The air became extremely heavy. Even during the earlier downpour, it had never felt this oppressive.
Magic power also stirred into a chaotic tide, gathering behind Levi as if it could completely smash the raging sea.
Obscure runes were constantly carved along the edges of the array, and magic power built a firm connection between the formations.
The different colored magic quickly covered the entire ship, and even the captain felt this strange change.
He looked at Duke Levi standing on the deck, his face full of gratitude.
That hundred-meter wave just now, if Duke Levi had not been here, this ship would not only have capsized, it might have been crushed to pieces by the sea.
There was a reason he could become a duke.
Levi's face was extremely serious. Perhaps because his magic power was still being consumed, beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Just now, he had seen it.
Deep in the thick and hazy sea mist, that huge blurry monster leaped high from the sea.
Then it splashed back into the water.
It was only a single dive.
Only a slight turn of its body.
And the entire ocean immediately became restless.
A shocking giant wave, like a tsunami, spread in all directions.
Under the chaotic waves just now, he could only hurriedly use water magic to forcibly press the ship against the surface of the wave.
As for the surrounding fishing boats, he did his best to use air currents to lift them into the air, so they would not fall into the sea and be shattered by the waves.
But that was all he could do. He truly had no energy to care about anyone else.
If there were islanders living on some nearby island, that had nothing to do with him.
Using human power to fight a natural disaster was still too much…
How exactly did Viktor manage to do it?
After the waves calmed down, Levi lowered the surrounding fishing boats back onto the sea.
When he came back to his senses, he looked at Erica beside him, who had been constantly supplying him with magic power, and felt relieved.
"Thank you, my dear."
"You helped a lot."
Erica gave him a curved smile in return, though she looked a little tired.
Levi turned his gaze back toward the white mist.
He could not see clearly. The thick mist seemed to block everything.
The white mist was still spreading outward, as if it wanted to swallow the entire surrounding sea.
This mist seemed to be searching for someone.
Spreading continuously, searching constantly.
Levi had thought he already understood how terrifying a Calamity was.
But after recalling that creature that caused a massive tsunami with just a slight movement of its body, he realized he had still underestimated that thing.
'Next… it's up to you, Viktor.'
Levi looked at the thick white mist, his thoughts complicated.
———
The ocean was covered in white mist, still extremely oppressive.
Viktor stood beneath the heavy fog, his entire figure wrapped in thick white mist.
Nothing could be seen clearly.
Under Dozale's white mist, even his own arm was hard to distinguish.
There was not even a stable place for him to stand.
So Viktor needed to create a piece of terrain on the sea before Dozale appeared.
And he also had to find a way to disperse the thick surrounding fog.
However, he already had a solution.
Viktor lowered his head and asked Vega on his shoulder, "Where is Henny? Where is she now?"
"She's very safe."
Vega answered calmly, "The moment the white mist rose, Wrath already took Henny and left."
With his contract with the demon, Viktor could sense Leighton's presence.
He could tell that Leighton was already far away.
After all, the crocodile liked to get angry, but it was not stupid.
A Calamity was the root of the world's elements.
This kind of physical existence was not something a demon like it could casually challenge.
At this moment, Viktor could feel it.
Beneath the vast surging sea, countless living creatures were trembling and fleeing deeper into the ocean.
As if they were avoiding something.
They feared Dozale.
Even though everything in the sea, all the gifts they received, came from Dozale.
Woo~
A massive whale cry once again spread heavy echoes from the depths of the sea in all directions.
Feeling the intense danger, Viktor turned his body around.
In the white mist, he saw it.
A pair of eyes like light bulbs, blurred within the mist.
The light outlined its body faintly under the fog, making it especially clear.
Its towering body rose from the sea like a small mountain.
Its blue body seemed wrapped in a layer of deep blue mist, its huge white belly bulging, hidden within the fog.
The enormous fins on both sides stretched out completely, extending for more than a thousand meters.
Under the white mist, it looked especially shocking.
In the ocean, it was the absolute ruler.
Its terrifying water element adaptation allowed it to move through the sea as if floating in air, and its control over water elements let it raise sky-high waves and completely crush its enemies.
The surrounding rain symbolized its anger and chaos. That was its power.
[Sunken Sky, Overturned Sea]
Water Calamity, Dozale.
The only Calamity wandering through the endless oceans of the world.
Compared to the other Calamities, Dozale did not have the despairing lava of the Fire Calamity, nor the powerful regeneration of the Wood Calamity, nor even the extreme speed of the Wind Calamity.
Yet it possessed all kinds of powerful abilities at the same time.
That was... buffs.
As long as it existed in the ocean, the Water Calamity could continuously draw power from the depths of the sea.
These overflowing powers, over a long time, turned into Dozale's permanent enhancements.
Attack, defense, acceleration, cooldown reduction, toughness…
Countless chaotic buffs gathered on Dozale's body, shaping it into the ultimate monster.
However...
When the thousand-meter-long health bar appeared before Viktor and its level was revealed.
[Water Calamity: Dozale]
[Lv60]
In this battle, the only Victor... could be him.
Dozale dived back into the sea. Its massive body swam beneath the surface.
Just by turning its body underwater, it raised towering waves, trying to completely crush Viktor.
Chaotic rain struck Viktor's face.
His expression remained calm, as if he did not care about the raging sea.
He formed a red array in his hand, and magic power quickly poured into it.
Countless patterns twisted and intertwined, rapidly igniting around Viktor's body.
[Fourth Tier Magic: Skyfire Tornado]
Crimson magic burst from around Viktor, forming a red firestorm that spun rapidly over the sea.
The scorching heat collided with the seawater, creating thick white steam.
Carried by the hurricane, it exploded instantly in the air, the echo sweeping across the sea, waves surging violently.
The towering wave was completely evaporated by the firestorm.
The flames continued sweeping across the sea, chasing Dozale everywhere.
Dozale dove deep into the seabed, and only then did the fire tornado gradually subside, the space once again covered by white mist.
Even the people on the fishing boats outside the mist heard the huge roar from the depths of the sea and panicked.
From the giant ship, Duke Levi's voice spread through magic.
"Now, notify all survivors nearby to evacuate immediately and leave this place!"
Everyone trembled and hurried to follow his order, rowing their fishing boats.
Under the raging rain and waves, they could only try their best to escape as fast as possible.
Although the sea itself was dangerous, and they might die on it.
If they stayed here any longer, they would definitely die on this sea.
Even an ordinary person could feel the terrifying power contained in the surging mist.
No one dared waste even a second.
At the same time, the moment the waves and flames dissipated, Viktor felt a sudden drop in the magic power within his body.
Looking at Dozale ahead, he kept his hands in his pockets and said calmly, "As expected, elemental restraint is still too forced."
"Then let's try something not forced and have some real fun."
The moment his words fell, red patterns instantly covered Viktor's entire coat.
A terrifying aura burst from his body, forming ripple after ripple on the sea, spreading outward.
Massive red magic turned into flames and completely engulfed Viktor.
At the same time, a colossal body slowly rose from the sea.
The gloomy sky seemed to be torn open by some unseen force.
Sunlight poured down, shining upon the lava beast whose body was like a sea of fire.
The beast stepped on the sea, and the lava falling from its body built layers of solid obsidian ground upon the ocean.
Sizzle~ Sizzle~
As if trying to evaporate the sea entirely, half of its body submerged into the ocean, raising terrifying steam.
The next second, the beast let out a furious roar.
Roar!!
The blazing sky could no longer be covered by shadows. The brilliant sunlight seemed to light up everything once again.
The light broke through the white mist, through the clouds.
The rain gradually stopped, replaced by half a clear sky.
[Scorched Earth]
The surrounding sea began turning into waves of fire.
The beast stood upon the sea, forcibly opening for itself... a domain called flames.
[Fire Calamity: Guldon]
[Lv60]
Viktor stood atop Guldon's head.
After the white mist dispersed, revealing the full form of the Water Calamity, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.
"What I like the most, and what I'm best at."
"Is in your home ground."
"Crushing everything you have."
