"Eleanor!"

When Nora saw Eleanor's head emerge from the water, she quickly swam over and embraced her best friend, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Eleanor!" Nora exclaimed. Eleanor's expression was subtly complex, but she quickly composed herself.

Nora, of course, noticed the fleeting oddity in her expression but considering her best friend had just been fished out of the deep sea by the Squad Leader, it was natural for her to be still shaken, so she quickly checked Eleanor for injuries.

"I'm sorry, Nora," Eleanor whispered internally.

Though sorry, there were some things she could not yield on.

Despite Nora's lack of suspicion, Peggy instinctively sensed that something was wrong. As soon as Aske surfaced, the girl from the Blood Clan hurriedly rushed over to him.

"Hehehe, it smells like guilt," she circled Aske, probing.

"It's the smell of the sea!" Aske responded.

"Is it?" Peggy was skeptical and leaned closer to inspect him.

Suddenly, a furious roar came from above, and everyone looked up to see a tattered Giant Dragon gliding down, with a dark green Plague Breath already gathering in its throat.

"Get out of the way!" Eleanor instinctively rushed forward, intending to open up the Unyielding Holy Sword to protect everyone, but a sudden intense headache interrupted her.

She struggled to raise her head and saw two beams of black light flash by.

Aske and Peggy, taking advantage of the Giant Dragon's dive, targeted each other and simultaneously launched "Curse Death."

The black light quickly shot towards the Giant Dragon in mid-air, but it was too late to interrupt its expulsion, as the dragon's head, already targeting the four over the sea, was about to spray the dark green assault.

The next second, its body suddenly exploded.

Countless pieces of flesh burst open in the air like fireworks, and for a moment, it seemed as though it was raining blood with flecks of flesh. Several figures fell from the dragon's back, then vanished in mid-air, and reappeared right in front of Aske and the others.

"Ask!" the group teleported by Mia exclaimed in relief after ensuring that their companions who fell into the sea were also unharmed, and began congregating.

Sigrdrifa quickly created floating ice on the surface of the water, allowing everyone soaking in the water to come up and rest, while Medea transferred the footage of the recent battle into Aske's mind.

So that's it, it was the Extinction Law abilities. Aske immediately realized why the dragon had exploded midway through its attack—it was due to a powerful move Sigrdrifa had placed on the dragon's back.

The first ability, Extinction Law. Slaughter, generated a shockwave with great penetrating power by slashing, which upon entering the enemy's body would cause a secondary explosion, and the damage had the effect of annihilating the enemy's Life Force, making them more fragile and vulnerable.

Using this armor-penetrating skill, Sigrdrifa had demolished the dragon's scales, muscles, and connective tissues, and her damage creation was even faster than the healing speed of the Plague Scorpion's flesh.

The second ability, Extinction Law. Silence, also worked through slashing, and upon hitting the enemy, it would create a massive spherical range inside, completely destroying the structure of all matter within that range.

Every material has its structural composition, especially biological entities, whose orderliness far exceeds that of non-living materials, and Sigrdrifa's ability was specifically designed to destroy this order.

Thus, once this ability hit the dragon, it could immediately disrupt the deep flesh inside it, and this destruction couldn't even be repaired by the "Flesh" trait—because the flesh's original orderliness was completely destroyed, turning it into a mass of protein residue with the same components but an entirely different structure, causing the Plague Scorpion to instantly lose its control over them.

When Slaughter and Silence repeatedly hit the dragon, churning its internal structure into a mess, even the usually confident Plague Scorpion finally realized: her Dragon Corpse Activation Technique had utterly failed.

The dragon originally possessed high defensive power, high mobility, and high attack power, coupled with its ability to rapidly heal its flesh, should have been an invincible tactical combination that could dominate the world... yet, it unfortunately met these bizarre adversaries.

They countered the Giant Dragon's high mobility with their bizarrely rapid teleportation (regardless of where you fly to, they directly teleport onto your back), and contained the Giant Dragon's high attack power with odd lines of radiance for defense (the radiance enveloping the Knight made it impossible for even the Dragon's strength to shatter or chew through, nor could the Plague Law's permeation skills break through it).

At last, they used this inexplicable axe, which not only slashed out shock waves but also caused a secondary explosion inside, rendering the Giant Dragon's high defensive power and rapid flesh healing ability practically futile...

This was a fight they could not win!

Thus, under the opponent's relentlessly brutal attacks, the Plague Scorpion was forced to detonate its entire body, and amidst the heavy blood rain obscuring the view, snuck its true body among the shredded flesh and seized the moment to transform into a bat and flee.

The swarm of bats navigated through the blood rain, attempting to quickly distance themselves from this sea area, when suddenly a figure appeared again before her.

"Yo, Zenobia~" the Banshee Queen possessing Miel said in a slyly teasing tone, "In your severely injured state, do you really think you can escape right under my eyes?"

"Do I know you?" the Plague Scorpion internally panicked, as her spirituality was nearly depleted.

"What does that matter?" the Banshee Queen said sinisterly, "Even if I told you that I've killed you once before, would you believe me?"

On the icy surface of the sea, people casually sat resting when they suddenly saw blood rain lightly begin to fall in a section of the clear sky.

A few minutes later, the Banshee Queen, possessing Miel's body, landed on the floating ice.

"Ah, killed her once again, such a delightful feeling..." Minerva said with a reflective laugh, looking at everyone, "There, I've taken care of it for you."

"Is she dead?" Aske asked.

"We Undead Spirits don't make a habit of holding back," Minerva said.

"Um," Medea hesitated, then spoke, "Actually, if we could have subdued her and then forced her to repair the Bone Dragon to fly us to the Iberian Peninsula, that might have been a more suitable approach."

The subtext was, now that you've directly beaten her to death, how are we supposed to cross this ocean?

Minerva: ...…

"Actually, we're not too far from the mainland," the Banshee Queen forced a smile, "Ah, if you ride on this floating ice, you might just be carried there by the Mediterranean currents! Of course, swimming is also a good option haha... uh, I have other things to attend to, I'll be going now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Miel's gray hair turned back to pink, and her dull skin regained its delicate whiteness, clearly indicating the Banshee Queen had ended her possession and returned to her own parallel world.

Miel, regaining control of her body, looked helplessly at everyone.

Actually, during the recent chase, she had quickly communicated with Minerva, asking her not to be lethal.

However, Minerva clearly didn't take it seriously. To be exact, in that world, Minerva seemed to have a vendetta against this demigod, which quickly led her to dominate with her impulse to oppress.

By the time she suddenly unleashed her killing move, it was too late for Miel to stop her.

The others could only silently divert their gazes and look around.

At this moment, on the vast ocean, there was nothing but a medium-sized chunk of floating ice under their feet, and the floating wreckage of ships and Bone Dragons nearby.

"Cough cough," Aske coughed, "Who's supposed to be on duty outside today?"

Before his words ended, the girls next to him disappeared one by one, all teleporting back to Fire Island.

Leaving only him standing alone on the floating ice.
