Chapter 256: The situation’s changed
Far, far away from the Five Sea Kingdoms, deep beneath the surface of a remote stretch of ocean, an enormous and breathtaking palace complex sprawled across the seafloor—an awe-inspiring marvel of underwater architecture.
At this very moment, deep within the heart of that grand palace, a towering, terrifying figure was striding purposefully through the shadows—a 12-Tier Naga Swordmaster, radiating a fearsome aura with every step.
He moved swiftly into a massive undersea canyon, a place that practically screamed danger. The atmosphere was thick with menace, the kind of place that warned intruders to turn back or face the consequences.
And it wasn’t just the eerie vibe. The water itself was saturated with an overwhelming pressure—an oppressive force so intense that even this mighty 12-Tier Naga Swordmaster, a being of immense power, couldn’t ignore it. His brow furrowed slightly, discomfort flickering across his otherwise stoic face.
This wasn’t just any 12-Tier Naga Swordmaster. He was a Hero Unit—like Thalric of the Crimsonstar Kingdom. A Legendary Hero, marked by the rare and coveted orange-tier status.
If even someone like him felt the weight of this place, it spoke volumes about how dangerous it truly was.
As he pressed deeper into the canyon, something massive loomed into view—a colossal, deep-blue Kirin, its size rivaling that of a small mountain. The creature exuded raw, terrifying power.
"Sea King Maelthorak," the Naga Swordmaster said respectfully, bowing his head as he spoke.
So this was Maelthorak...
One of the Ten Sea Kings of the Tidesworn faction.
A true Crimson Ultimate Hero of the elite Kirin race.
