45: ultrasonic attack

"Metal Manipulation!" Lin Zhian shouted in a fit of rage, "I had better finish this quickly, lest I end up buried here if I drag it out too long!"

Lin Zhian was wary of the powerful expert (Radiation Engineer) on the island just now, and he had no idea what other strange units the other side possessed. If there were even stronger energy sources, he would surely perish here.

Lin Zhian's guess was spot on. If Wei He's red alert Superweapon had been built, he could have sent him to a watery grave the moment he walked out of Nankang Golden Valley.

As Lin Zhian unleashed his Supernatural Ability, the metal fragments of the Sea Scorpion on the sea surface rose into the air under his control, flying toward the anti-aircraft missiles tracking him.

"If I had been any later, I would have been blown up. These missiles are not only fast but also immune to my metal control. It seems my Supernatural Ability level is still too low!" As Lin Zhian spoke, he gathered more metal fragments and headed toward the Aegis Cruiser.

Lin Zhian had intended to get closer to see clearly what these things were, so he lowered his altitude. As a result, more missiles flew toward him, and the destroyer also opened fire.

Fortunately, there were more and more metal fragments, so this level of attack meant nothing to Lin Zhian. Because once the shells exploded, they also became metal fragments that he could utilize to counter-attack the incoming missiles.

Suddenly, several huge tentacles appeared in the sea and wrapped around Lin Zhian. The event happened too suddenly; before he could react, he was dragged into the sea. The metal fragments he was controlling also fell onto the sea surface and slowly sank into the water.

After the Giant Squid grabbed Lin Zhian, it followed Wei He's orders and quickly dragged him into the deep sea.

"Hahahaha, no matter how powerful your Supernatural Ability is, you haven't reached the point where you don't need to breathe oxygen, have you? It's a pity you aren't a water-type Ability User; you can only be buried in this vast ocean!" Seeing this, Wei He clenched his hands and said gleefully.

Just as Wei He was rejoicing, Lin Zhian turned his hand into a blade and swiftly severed the Giant Squid's tentacle. Immediately, he tried to surface. He knew that if he entangled himself in the water for too long, he would die of hypoxia, so he could not afford to linger.

"Damn it, that didn't kill you? Quickly, send all the Giant Squids up there! You must pin him down!" Wei He hadn't expected him to escape even that.

A group of Giant Squids swam toward Lin Zhian and rammed him down. Squids kept rushing over, spraying large amounts of ink to obscure his vision, wrapping him with tentacles, and ramming him with their heads. His position kept sliding toward the seabed, and Giant Squids kept spraying him with ink.

Although he used his Supernatural Ability to turn his hand into a blade and severed one Giant Squid's tentacle, another Giant Squid would extend its tentacles, pulling him down a distance each time.

Seeing that he was about to be buried on the seabed, Lin Zhian decided to fight to the death and unleashed his metal manipulation in the water. Because his vision was obscured by ink, the metal fragments in the water could only attack indiscriminately in all directions, but it was extremely difficult to control these metal fragments underwater.

The attack speed of the metal fragments in the water was far slower than the swimming speed of the Giant Squids, and this also consumed a large amount of Lin Zhian's Supernatural Ability energy.

In a place Lin Zhian could not see, schools of Dolphins appeared. After the Dolphins appeared, ripples of water began to spread around him, carrying dense white cavitation bubbles. The groups of bubbles were like boiling snow foam, surging crazily while wrapped in currents.

A large number of bubbles burst on the metal surface of Lin Zhian's body, and the bursting water currents buffeted his body.

Because Lin Zhian's vision was completely obscured by ink around his eyes, he did not see the white cavitation bubbles around his body at all. Although he felt the surging currents, he did not pay much attention to it because he was underwater.

Suddenly, he felt a violent resonance and tearing sensation in his bones and internal organs. Before he could even react, he lost consciousness, and blood continuously flowed from his mouth, diffusing into the seawater.

All of this was thanks to the Dolphins' ultrasonic attack, which killed invisibly, causing the enemy to lose consciousness before they could even react.

Lin Zhian slowly sank to the seabed, and his body reverted from the Golden Body Protection state to its normal state. The remaining Giant Squids swarmed over and used their hard, parrot-beak-like chitinous jaws to tear open his body.

The numerous Giant Squids and Dolphins divided him up and ate him; in a short while, not even a scrap was left.

"What a pity. He was a hegemon, at least. Now, no one will even know how he died. Sigh!" Wei He said, looking at the screen with a sleazy expression.

Unlike Wei He's joy at having survived a disaster, Lu Sheng and the others felt differently.

They had watched the recent battle on the northern island and the battle on the sea involving Lin Zhian from afar on the mountain.

Now, seeing that the northern island was completely bare, without a single person or animal, and the withered plants turned into powder at the slightest gust of wind, only stones remained.

"Sigh, Big Brother, look, there are only stones left on that island. It will be easy to quarry stones now, hehehe!" the Round-faced Guard said with a goofy smile.

"Easy to quarry my ass! Do you really want to quarry stones here for the rest of your life? As soon as that little golden man defeats the sea monsters, we will find a way to get out!" Lu Sheng slapped the Round-faced Guard on the head and cursed angrily.

"He's been down there for so long and hasn't come up yet. Has he drowned?" a sharp-mouthed guard said worriedly.

"Impossible. Even if he drowned, what about the corpse? The corpse should have floated up!" Lu Sheng argued stubbornly.

"It's also possible he was eaten by the sea monsters!" The Round-faced Guard was right this time; Lin Zhian had indeed been eaten by the Giant Squids and Dolphins.

"Whose side are you on? Stop saying such unlucky things!" Lu Sheng's words lacked some confidence because he knew it was impossible for a person to stay in the water for so long, but he just didn't want to admit it himself.

Just as he finished speaking, the Giant Squids and Dolphins leaped out of the sea, swimming happily in the water, looking very cheerful.

"Big Brother, look how happy the sea monsters and big fish are swimming in the sea!" the Round-faced Guard pointed at the sea, the corners of his mouth upturned, and said with a goofy smile.

"The little golden man is gone, and we have no chance to go back!" Lu Sheng hung his head and said dejectedly.

"It's okay, Big Brother, there are still two warships over there. Look, they are coming over!" the Round-faced Guard said, still optimistic.

"The little golden man was so powerful that he could even smash iron-clad ships, yet he still died in the mouths of sea monsters. What use are these two broken wooden ships?" Lu Sheng stood up silently, picked up his tools, and went back to quarrying stones.

Just as the war on the Danga Archipelago had ended, far away in the capital of the Magic Empire, in the sanctuary of Laiseluo City, Emperor Alexander sat majestically on the throne. Grand Duke William and Grand Duke James stood below. Also present in the hall were various civil and military officials, and kneeling in the middle of the hall were the two magicians, Carlos and Jian.

"Your Majesty, this Wei He is truly hateful. His current strength is no longer below mine. I don't know what method he used to make a World-Shocking Level Ability User work for him. These injuries on my body were caused by him! Your Majesty, you must uphold justice for me!" Carlos cried with tears streaming down his face.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, this Wei He came to Kela City for some unknown reason. After killing a group of my soldiers, he also injured me. What's even more terrifying is that he actually broke a Magic Array that even a High-level Magician could not break!" Jian said angrily, his body wrapped in bandages.
