The Final Boss Has Returned 83

Chapter 83

The vast ocean. Above the clouds.

At the forefront of the Wyvern squadron soaring through the cold air was a user riding a red Drake.

It was Jeil E&M’s famous streamer, FlyingMan!

He was a user famous as a Drake rider.

“Ah, hyeongnims. Looks like I’ve been put in charge of reconnaissance again.”

FlyingMan gave a good-natured smile.

He could see countless chats flooding his live stream.

“Ah, you’re saying the enemy also has an aircraft carrier this time? I heard that story too. But they’re no match for me.”

The enemy also possesses an aircraft carrier!

FlyingMan was already aware of this information from the pre-briefing.

Nevertheless, FlyingMan wasn’t particularly nervous.

Looking at the worried chats, the supportive chats, the trolling chats, and the exploding donations, FlyingMan smiled confidently.

“Where in the world is there a user who can fight better than me in the skies of Ard World?”

FlyingMan!

His other name was the Ruler of the Skies.

It was no exaggeration to say that there were very few users who could survive an aerial battle against FlyingMan, the rider of a Drake, a monster that surpasses Wyverns and Gryphons.

Unless he was up against monsters like Dragons or the legendary Phoenix, FlyingMan held absolute dominance in the sky!

That was FlyingMan, and that’s why he was confident that he wouldn’t lose in this aerial battle.

Just as FlyingMan was leading the numerous Wyverns following him over the sea……

[Krrrrrr.]

FlyingMan’s Drake let out a low growl.

And soon after, Wyverns appeared from between the clouds.

The enemy air force had appeared.

A smile spread across FlyingMan’s face as he saw them.

“Now the battle begins in earnest!”

With those words, the Drake quickly soared forward.

The aerial battle had begun.

▄ ▄ ▄

The moment the battle began in the sky!

The situation under the sea was no different.

Splash!

The surface of the sea was churning as if a typhoon had arrived!

Beneath it, a war between the Merfolk and the Mermaids was taking place.

“Eliminate the Merfolk! We must reclaim the Eastern Sea!”

“Kill all the Mermaids who covet our land! Dye this entire sea with blood!”

Mermaid Queen Siren and Merfolk King Nereus!

Under the command of the two leaders, a fierce battle was unfolding in the depths of the sea.

Skills were flying everywhere, and screams were rising!

Sea monsters tamed by the Merfolk were tearing the Mermaids apart, and magic wielded by the Mermaids was annihilating Merfolk soldiers. The scene of them stabbing each other in the chest with spears and swords was unfolding vividly.

However, there was a small but crucial difference between the two factions.

“Oh, I just leveled up again!”

“War is a honey pot!”

The crucial difference between the two factions was the participation of users.

Unlike the Merfolk, who had succeeded in actively mobilizing numerous Merfolk users with bait like quests and contribution points, the Mermaids were not a playable race and therefore had no users.

However, despite this, the Mermaids still held the upper hand in overall power.

Unlike the Merfolk Kingdom, which had just begun to recover its power, the Mermaid Kingdom was at the peak of its national power, having once destroyed the Merfolk Kingdom!

If it weren’t for the users, the Mermaids would have wiped out the Merfolk long ago, but because of the users, it seemed like a balance was still maintained.

Merfolk King Nereus, sitting atop a Sea Serpent and observing the battlefield, took a deep breath.

He could see the front lines being breached little by little, despite the struggles of the Merfolk and the users.

“Kraken-nim. It’s time for you to come out.”

[I will accept your request.]

Nereus had no choice but to summon the Kraken.

As soon as Nereus finished speaking, a gigantic shadow engulfed the battlefield!

The Kraken, the guardian beast of the Merfolk Kingdom, finally appeared on the battlefield.

However, Mermaid Queen Siren didn’t even blink at the Kraken’s appearance.

Queen Siren, riding on a sea turtle, looked directly at the Kraken and said,

“White Whale-nim. It’s your turn.”

[My Queen, I will obey your command.]

As soon as Queen Siren finished speaking, a giant whale appeared, cutting through the cold currents with a clear voice.

The White Whale!

It was one of the two guardian deities of the Mermaid Kingdom until Scylla’s death, and after Scylla was killed by JDG’s elite raid team, it became the sole guardian deity!

As its name suggested, the White Whale had the appearance of a white, gigantic whale.

Two sea monsters appeared on the battlefield!

As the two sea monsters collided, a torrent erupted in the depths of the sea.

The White Whale charged at the Kraken, and the Kraken wrapped its tentacles around the White Whale’s body and unleashed a barrage of lightning.

However, despite the Merfolk summoning their guardian deity, the victory still belonged to the Mermaids.

The Kraken was battling the White Whale, and the Merfolk’s disadvantage remained unchanged.

Mermaid Queen Siren opened her mouth.

A beautiful melody flowed from her lips, engulfing the battlefield.

Siren’s ultimate skill, Ocean’s Hymn!

As the song that buffs allies and debuffs enemies enveloped the battlefield, the Mermaids’ momentum grew even fiercer.

Just then.

Kaboom!

A shell exploded in the middle of the Mermaid formation with a loud roar.

The startled Mermaids soon discovered the culprit who fired the shell.

The rear of the Mermaid army!

There was something there that absolutely shouldn’t be in the depths of the sea.

It was a ship.

But the ships in the depths of the sea were not ordinary ships.

Ghost ships!

The Ghost Fleet, the Undead navy, had finally arrived to support the Merfolk.

Unlike ordinary ships, ghost ships were ominous vessels powered by magic and the power of death, not sails!

Ghost ships, which didn’t need the power of the wind, could surprisingly even submerge when needed.

Moreover, since the crew of the ghost ships were all Undead, they didn’t suffer any environmental penalties in the deep sea, unlike other terrestrial races, including humans.

The Ghost Fleet, appearing at the perfect time to strike from behind!

Ghost Admiral Nelson, the commander of the fleet, gave the order.

[Heeeehehe. The Undead King has commanded. Slaughter all those Mermaids!]

Kaboom!

With that, the cannons of the Ghost Fleet opened fire, and shells began to rain down mercilessly on the Mermaid formation.

Confusion filled the eyes of Mermaid Queen Siren as she witnessed the scene.

Undead!

She hadn’t even imagined being backstabbed by them.

“Don’t panic and counterattack!”

Siren composed her confused emotions and gave the order.

The Undead’s participation was unexpected, but she believed they hadn’t lost all chance of victory yet.

Just then.

Someone jumped off the deck of the ‘Mary Celeste’, the flagship of the Ghost Fleet and the largest ghost ship at the forefront.

[I have endured countless years, but this is the first time I’ve descended into the depths of the sea.]

A Death Knight in black armor, his blue eyes shining ominously!

The Black Knight Commander, one of the Undead King’s three closest aides and the strongest Death Knight, appeared leading his Knight Order.

[Attack.]

The moment the Black Knight Commander, mounted on a Ghost Horse, charged forward, raising his sword engulfed in dark aura……

The Death Knight Order, riding Ghost Horses, charged towards the Mermaids in unison.

The charge of the Death Knights on Ghost Horses!

As the Black Knight Commander’s dark aura exploded in the depths of the sea, the Mermaids were slaughtered in an instant.

The bombardment of the Ghost Fleet followed.

Boom! Kaboom!

Shells filled with the power of death, fired from the ghost ships, landed all over the Mermaid army, and the sea began to be dyed red with the blood of Mermaids.

Surrounded from both front and back like a sandwich!

The Mermaid forces, following the Queen’s orders, were fighting the Undead, but this meant that there was a gap in the front line that had been holding back the Merfolk, and this provided Merfolk King Nereus with a golden opportunity.

“Attack! Push the Mermaids back! Kill them all!”

Nereus shouted at the top of his lungs, driving his Sea Serpent to the forefront of the battlefield.

Drakan!

Just as the Apostle of Darkness, who had helped him reclaim the throne of the Merfolk King, had said, the Undead reinforcements had arrived just in time. All that was left was to enjoy the feast that had been laid out before them.

[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!]

The Sea Serpent Nereus was riding let out a roar.

A breath attack poured out from the Sea Serpent’s gaping maw.

The breath attack struck the enemy lines directly, and the Mermaids were killed in droves.

The Merfolk army followed behind the Sea Serpent, and the front line collapsed.

Mermaid Queen Siren’s eyes, watching the scene, looked upwards.

Boom! Kaboom!

Two giant monsters were fighting above the battlefield, creating violent shockwaves and currents!

The Kraken and the White Whale!

However, contrary to expectations, it was the Kraken, not the White Whale, that was gaining the upper hand in the battle of the monsters.

The Kraken!

The Kraken, revived by the Thunderbird’s Horn, was imbued with the lightning attribute of the Thunderbird’s Horn, and the White Whale couldn’t withstand the Kraken’s power, which had grown even stronger.

[Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!]

A terrible scream erupted from the White Whale as it was entangled in the Kraken’s giant tentacles and struck by lightning.

Despair filled Siren’s eyes as she witnessed the scene.

Merfolk and Undead attacking from both front and back!

And the White Whale losing ground!

Everything was going wrong, and there was no escape route.

On the other hand, a smile played on the lips of Merfolk King Nereus.

Every time the Sea Serpent moved and Nereus’ spear swung, Mermaids were killed in droves.

On the opposite side of the Merfolk King, the Black Knight Commander was rampaging like an enraged bull, leading his Death Knights.

Kaboom!

Looking at the shells flying from the Ghost Fleet in the distance, Siren closed her eyes tightly.

Death, defeat, was approaching.
