For the following week, Ivita was engrossed in learning the Skeleton King Transformation Skill. It took him an entire week, but he managed to complete the spell via a magic ceremony.

As it happened, Earl Rozlof and Earl Hilker had engaged in a colossal naval battle just three days ago. This battle in the Mediterranean Sea was tantamount to a large-scale war.
Both sides’ fleets consisted of over 500 ships each, with at least 100 being heavy warships, loaded with three types of pirate equipment.
The intense clash resulted in a sea covered in pirates’ corpses and fragments of wood—debris from the damaged ships.
Ivita’s spies reported that the historic naval battle ended when the Sea Spirit Witch and the Tide Witch conjured enormous sea cyclones and giant whirlpools from the ocean depths, respectively, further decimating the opposing fleets.
This led to a temporary retreat from both sides as they sought to avoid nature’s calamity.
The formidable magical power of the Witch Marquises was evident.
In the secret chamber of Joseph Castle, Ivita, standing beside a Hearthstone Witch illuminated by candlelight, whispered, "The Sea Spirit Witch and the Tide Witch were once one entity.
