After following Clifford back to his house, Locke went on a study spree. Within three days, Locke had learned all the elementary, intermediate, and advanced support magic spells. He had not slept well the entire day, and was buried in the sea of books.
"Ah! I don't want to learn anymore. I don't want to learn anymore. How many spells have I learned already!"
In the middle of his venting, Locke's captain badge vibrated.
"Green? Is there a mission?"
"There's one in Hessler, southwest of the Dunmei Kingdom. Recently, there have been continuous attacks from the hydra. Set off immediately! The situation is extremely urgent!"
After receiving the order, Locke immediately woke Clifford up. The two of them activated the steel dragon at the gate and flew towards the southwest.
"What happened?"
"Hessler is beseiged by sea monsters. Green asked me to investigate the situation!"
"Hessler is besieged by sea monsters? Doesn't that seem similar to the situation we faced at Colchislo?"
While he was speaking, Locke took out the bedsheets he'd taken from Clifford's house, laid them on the dragon's back and fell fast asleep. Seeing Locke sleeping soundly, Clifford immediately sat to the side and began to meditate.
At noon the next day, Locke woke up and found that he could already see Hessler not far away from where they were. The beach along the coast was crowded with sea magical beasts that were 5 to 8 meters tall. Magical beasts similar to eel dragons were attacking the soldiers on the beach.
Sensing that Locke had woken up, Clifford stood up as well.
Looking into the distance, he saw a dense group of sea magical beasts surrounding the beach.
"Where did these things come from?"
"I've been in the Dunmei Kingdom for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen something like this!"
Even though Locke wanted to say something, he did not say it because he was not knowledgeable enough.
"Let's fly around and observe the situation!"
After circling around Hessler, Locke found that the situation in the city was still alright. The magical beasts in the sea had yet to break through the city walls. However, the magical beasts in the sea seemed to be waiting for something. All of them were using magic to attack the city wall from afar.
In order to find out the truth, Locke rode the steel dragon toward the sea. From twenty kilometers away, they could see a giant black shadow on the surface of the sea. To confirm what kind of monster it was, Locke leaned over to have a better look. When he was a few kilometers away, he could clearly feel that the beasts had been held back by magic!
"Holy shit! Is that Hydra?"
Clifford immediately frowned when he saw this!
"Impossible, how could Hydra come here? It has always stayed at the bottom of the ocean, so it's impossible for it to appear here!"
After careful observation, Clifford understood what kind of creature it was.
"That is an adult three-headed water dragon! Although it looks similar to Hydra, the difference in size is too great! Hydra can reach out from thousands of meters deep, and its neck is a thousand meters long! The total length of this one is only 100 to 200 meters. It's a far cry from Hydra!"
Locke could not help but wipe his sweat. "That's good, that's good!"
"If Hydra comes here, we'll go back to the city and evacuate the citizens! In the meantime, let us deal with this three-headed water dragon!"
As he spoke, Locke expanded the huge body of the steel dragon and charged towards the huge creature on the sea.
Seeing this situation, Clifford immediately activated his auxiliary wings and jumped away from the steel dragon.
"This kid is really not afraid of death!"
Saying that, he came to Locke's side and started casting the large-scale spell, the Red Lotus Flame!
Seeing the hundred-meter long steel dragon, the three-headed water dragon roared at it. Lightning, ice, and darkness dragon roars came charging at him. However, this did not cause any damage to the Steel Dragon, who was equipped with nine attributes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Locke immediately summoned Eliza. After becoming one with the dragon, Locke immediately enlarged his body and swung the spear in his hand toward the three-headed water dragon.
However, Locke had underestimated his opponent. The three-headed water dragon turned around and created a huge wave. It turned its body, borrowing the power of the water and shot towards Locke.
The two heads on the left and right bit the wings of the steel dragon, and the one in the middle aimed at Locke.
Locke immediately raised the spear in his hand and stabbed the middle head, accurately piercing the water dragon's eye. The water dragon immediately let go of its other two heads and fell from the sky. Before it fell into the water, its eye had completely recovered.
Its three giant mouths were aimed at Locke, unleashing powerful magic waves. The shockwaves of lightning, ice, and darkness fused into one, turning into a coiled cylinder that shot towards him.
Locke raised the spear in his hand to counter the impact. After the two energies collided, there was a violent explosion. Concealing himself within the smoke, Locke escaped into the distance.
He then contacted Green via his badge.
"You've only been here for a day. What's the matter?"
Locke pointed at the sea monster in the distance and said to Green, "If I encounter such a monster, can I ask for a volunteer to help out?"
Seeing the three-headed water dragon in the distance, Green could not help but frown. "How did this thing get here?"
"You should stall for time! I'll send someone to investigate right now."
Then, Adolf Green decisively cut the connection.
"This bastard!" Locke gritted his teeth and continued to attack the sea monster.
Soon after, Clifford said to him through a magic voice transmission, "My spell is ready! Make way!"
Just as he finished speaking, Locke felt a burning sensation on his back!
With no other choice, Locke rushed behind the three-headed water dragon to dodge this huge 'Red Lotus Flame' attack!
The hundred-meter-wide flame exploded on the chest of the three-headed water dragon. The huge explosion created a huge fog on the surface of the sea. The two waited for it to dissipate.
Looking at the huge mushroom cloud, Locke could not help but sigh at Clifford's powerful combat strength!
A few minutes later, Locke saw a three-headed sea dragon swim out from the bottom of the sea. It was completely unharmed!
After that magical attack, its body was actually bigger than before!
