The Final Boss Has Returned 161

Chapter 161

Kwa-gwang!

With a tremendous roar, pillars of fire shot up throughout Southwest Port.

Flying Battleships.

It was because a literal bombardment poured down from the bottom of the massive ships floating in the sky.

“Uwaaaak!”

“Ack!”

Everywhere, users screamed and died pointlessly.

The defensive line that Simseong Iron Stars had painstakingly built was shattered by the continuous bombardment, and the beautiful harbor gradually began to burn.

The Flying Battleships possessed more than just bombs.

Grooooowl.

With a deafening noise, cannons began to emerge one by one from the open bottom.

These were the cannons mounted on the Flying Battleships.

Kwang! Kwa-gwang!

The cannons of the Flying Battleships fired in unison.

“Evade!”

“Ugh!”

“Wow, look at that damage, it’s insane.”

And the rain of cannon fire that poured down like that directly struck the ground, and the bombardment from the sky was enough to make the users lose their minds.

At that very moment.

“Fire! Fire the Ballistae!”

The users who had managed to regain their composure and maintain their positions began to counterattack from the ground.

Ballistae!

The arrows loaded on the giant crossbows, originally prepared to intercept Wyvern Riders taking off from the aircraft carriers belonging to Drakan’s fleet, were fired all at once towards the sky.

Perhaps because they were arrows made to shoot down Wyverns, they were expensive arrows enchanted with magic, despite being mere consumables.

For a moment, there was such a massive cluster of arrows that it was almost an illusion of a cloud of arrows forming in the sky!

However, the arrows fired in that way did not damage a single Flying Battleship.

This was because the translucent magic barrier formed near the Flying Battleships blocked all the arrows fired from the Ballistae.

“I-It’s still intact?”

“Keep firing! The Flying Battleship’s defenses can’t be infinite!”

The Ballistae attacks continued, but they didn’t last long.

Kwa-gwang!

The Ballistae positions, directly hit by the bombardment pouring down from the sky, were being destroyed one by one by the Flying Battleships’ cannons.

“Wyvern Squadron! Deploy!”

At that moment, as the Ballistae were being destroyed one by one.

Wyverns began to appear one by one in the skies above Southwest.

The Wyvern Riders stationed at the port for aerial defense had finally appeared.

The squadron leader commanding the Wyvern Squadron swallowed hard as he saw the overwhelming sight, as if a mountain was floating in the air.

‘D*mn it! How the h*ll are we supposed to deal with that?’

He had accepted the order and flown up into the sky, but he couldn’t figure out how to deal with the Flying Battleships, which were no different from floating fortresses.

As the squadron leader continued to rack his brains, he finally came up with an answer.

‘Since it’s so big, its maneuverability must be lower than a Wyvern’s. We need to exploit that.’

That was to exploit the weakness of the Flying Battleship’s sluggish maneuverability.

In reality, the maneuverability of the Flying Battleships was lower than that of the Wyverns, so it was also the best option he could choose.

“All forces attack. The enemy battleship’s maneuverability is inferior to ours. Focus on that.”

As soon as the squadron leader’s order ended, the Wyverns immediately flew towards the Flying Battleship in a swarm.

At that very moment.

[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!]

A chilling roar echoed from the sky.

A roar that sent shivers down the listener’s spine!

And the squadron leader knew the owner of this roar all too well.

“Bone Dragon……!”

Bone Dragon!

One of the strongest undead, now famous, was flying through the clouds in the sky above.

And behind it, the Wyvern Riders of the Dark Alliance, led by FlyingMan riding a Red Drake, were quickly approaching.

“Let’s go and crush them all!”

FlyingMan laughed as he commanded the Wyvern Squadron.

Bone Dragon.

And Flying Battleships.

As long as the Dark Alliance possessed such powerful air power, victory in the air battle was as good as theirs.

And above all, FlyingMan always loved aerial combat.

‘This air battle is my victory too.’

FlyingMan, convinced of his victory, began to rapidly charge forward, driving his Red Drake.

The squadron leader’s face hardened as he watched the scene.

‘I expected the enemy’s Wyvern Squadron to appear, but a Bone Dragon……? This is…… a battle we can’t win.’

If it had just been the Flying Battleships, they might have been able to hold them off somehow by exploiting the weakness of their slow maneuverability.

Even if the enemy’s Wyvern Squadron had appeared, they could have put up some semblance of a fight.

But it was impossible to deal with the Bone Dragon on top of that.

There had been no record of the Bone Dragon ever being defeated in aerial combat, and there was no way to defeat that monster with their current strength.

[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!]

The Bone Dragon, with agility that belied its massive size, instantly penetrated deep into the Iron Stars’ Wyvern Squadron, and the Dark Alliance’s Wyvern Squadron, led by FlyingMan, followed closely behind.

Kwang! Kwa-gwang!

Explosions roared in the air.

But the Iron Stars’ Wyvern Riders had to face more than just the Bone Dragon and the enemy Wyvern Riders.

Cannon fire suddenly flew in with a deafening roar!

Some of the Flying Battleships had begun to provide support fire from afar.

“Kyaaaaaaaaak!”

[Keeiiiiiiiiiiiik!]

The situation in the air battle grew increasingly desperate for the squadron leader.

“It’s over.”

The squadron leader muttered in a despairing voice as he watched the scene.

As he said, the outcome of the air battle was already decided.

Wyverns and riders fell to the ground like autumn leaves, dying, and soon there was not a single enemy force left in the sky.

It was the moment when the Dark Alliance completely seized control of the airspace over Southwest Port, not long after the air battle began.

Kwa-gwang!

Once again, the muzzles of the Flying Battleships flashed.

But this time, it wasn’t just the Flying Battleships attacking the ground.

[Kieeeeeeeeeeeeek!]

Wyverns!

The mages riding on the backs of the Wyvern Squadron, flying low in perfect formation under FlyingMan’s command, unleashed a magical bombardment on the ground.

The Ballistae, the anti-aircraft weapons meant to take down Wyverns, had already been mostly burned and destroyed by the previous bombing and shelling.

A few remaining Ballistae fired anti-aircraft shots, but it was not enough to deal with the Dark Alliance’s air power, which had already secured air superiority.

And the icing on the cake was none other than the Bone Dragon.

[Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]

The breath emanating from the Bone Dragon’s wide-open mouth directly struck the ground, instantly annihilating countless users and devastating the area.

As such, the defenses began to collapse at once under the aerial assault, and the ground quickly turned into a wasteland.

The coastal batteries, coastal positions, and lighthouses, all built with a considerable amount of money, were all burning, breaking, and collapsing.

But Drakan’s attack did not end there.

Not on the sea, but under the sea!

In the sea directly below the Dark Alliance fleet, Merfolk King Nereus, standing at the forefront of countless Merfolk forces waiting on whales and sea turtles, pointed his spear forward and quietly said,

“Ocean’s Wrath.”

At the same time, the Ten Thousand Year Coral Crown on Nereus’ head began to vibrate violently.

Ocean’s Wrath.

Merfolk King Nereus’ ultimate skill and the inherent power of the Merfolk King to freely control the sea.

That power finally descended upon the sea in front of Southwest Port.

Swooooooooooooooosh!

It began with the ominous rumbling of the sea and the sound of waves.

A giant tsunami crashed into Southwest Port, which was being helplessly battered by the aerial attack.

Nereus.

He had summoned a tsunami with Ocean’s Wrath.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaak!”

“Keuk!”

The coastal defense line, which was already crumbling, was instantly shattered by the tsunami that crashed into Southwest Port without warning, and the formation of the users comprising the defense force completely collapsed.

Seeing this from afar, Drakan said seriously,

“Prepare the landing craft. I’ll go first.”

As soon as Drakan finished speaking, the landing craft were prepared, and soon the landing craft carrying countless users, including Drakan, headed towards the port where the defense line had completely collapsed.

But the first to land was not Drakan.

“Advance to land. Advance and clear out those who stand in the Apostle’s path.”

Merfolk King Nereus.

The Merfolk he led had already begun to land on the ground, riding the waves.

The Merfolk, suddenly emerging from the sea, began to unilaterally slaughter the defense force users who were already in disarray due to the aerial bombardment and the tsunami.

Wailing cries echoed pitifully from all around.

“N-No!”

“This is a battle we can’t win!”

The users of Simseong Iron Stars, whose morale had completely plummeted, even showed the disgrace of fleeing on the spot.

After the Merfolk cleared the coast, the landing craft carrying the users of the Dark Alliance finally reached the Southwest coast without any resistance.

And the first user to set foot on the coast was none other than Drakan.

The moment Drakan stepped onto the white sand of the beach.

A notification window appeared before his eyes.

[You have entered Southwest Port.]

[Southwest Port]

[Southwest Port is the largest coastal city and trading port in the south, located in the southwest. It is also a famous resort area, known for its year-round warm weather, clear skies, and beautiful emerald sea.]

[As the center of southern trade and a strategic point on the coast, Southwest Port has enjoyed prosperity and peace for a long time as the largest port in the south.]

It was an information window with a description of Southwest Port.

Prosperity and peace.

Looking at the port burning and breaking everywhere, in stark contrast to what was written in the information window, Drakan laughed.

In Drakan’s view, the chat window was being updated non-stop every second.

[Eㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Bloodless entry ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Isn’t this trade too one-sided? ㅋㅋㅋ]

[Kyaa, this is why I watch Drakan’s broadcast.]

[Where are we going next?]

[Took over Southwest in one go ㅋㅋㅋ]

[This is the Dark Alliance!]

[Long live the Alliance!]

[For the Alliance!]

A faint smile played on Drakan’s lips as he looked at the chat window, which was relaying the enthusiastic reactions of the users watching this scene in real time.

Drakan.

As he expected, the users were going wild over the overwhelming performance of the Flying Battleships.

As he was looking at the chat window with satisfaction, Nereus’ voice reached Drakan’s ears.

“Apostle-nim, I have cleared out all those who stand in your way.”

“Well done, Nereus.”

Drakan tossed a word of praise to Nereus, who was bowing his head beside him, and then strode into the burning harbor.

Countless users of the Dark Alliance followed behind Drakan.
