Feet plodded as waves moved their ships.
"Fire!" Commander Eye said.
The House of Snipers fired a blasting shot. As it reached the Sea Dragon's wings, they expected it to react in deep pain. Unfortunately, it only bruised its wings a little.
Commander Eye's face turned from serene to tight. As he looked back to his Snipers, his right eye, which was covered with a pirate eye patch, glowed a red luminescent that penetrated through its cloth. His Snipers dropped their jaws as their Commander's eye glowed. They lowered guns from their eye level to their chest that pounded inappropriate beats.
The Soldier Snipers, which are of a higher ranking than the Peon Snipers, felt the same terror. It was not the first time they saw their Commander's eye illuminated.
Commander Eye then removed his eye-patched and all the Snipers saw his right eye. It filled his eye with crystal radiating red light. Gasps stopped in a sudden tempo. Their breasts hold lots of air, contained with pressure and awe.
"Hold your guns firmly, you little dummies!" he shouted as his glowing eye flared.
Soldier Snipers knew Commander Eye wanted them to focus and kill the Sea Dragon. His words may be bothersome, but when he's in battle, he would use all the curse words he knew just to wake his Snipers' souls. This was his way of encouragement. Although they may not always see it as he intended to.
"Soldiers, aim for its body. Peons, aim for the wings. I will aim its heart."
"But commander-"
"No buts on my ship!" he said as his lips came near the Sniper's face. His breaths were full of power, not smell.
He then turned to his shoulder and stared at the Sea Dragon hovering in the sky.
"Snipers! Let's kill this monster!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" the Snipers screamed as they drew their guns once more.
"Fire!"
The bullets released a bang with fire as they came out. Most of them missed their target, but Commander Eye took his time to concentrate in order to execute his skill. He drew his gun and pointed his right eye at the scope.
"Evil Scope Activate!"
His red eye scanned thoroughly the Sea Dragon's body. This skill allows a Wanderer to see far targets as far as 10000 yards in scope or 10km in the distance that penetrates through things to see other being's internal organs and other hidden ones.
As soon as his eye located the Sea Dragon's enormous heart pumping and glowing, his red eye locked its location and then executed his special skill.
"Evil Scope Fire!" He pulled the trigger, and the gun moved his body backward.
A bullet from Commander Eye's gun made a big hole in the Sea Dragon's body and pierced its heart in half. The Sea Dragon reverberated a growling sound, crying for the bullet's impact. Its body quivered along with its wings, getting more bullets from the Snipers.
The Sea Dragon flew higher in the sky until it reached the clouds. It seemed perturbed by the hole in its body and heart. It wagged its wings, making the clouds disappear.
Wanderers cheered on their ships, raising their weapons as they thought they already succeeded. As the clouds vanished in the air, the Sea Dragon's shadow covered the five ships. It opened its mouth and spewed a flaming fire ending with a thundering roar. Its eyes turned sharp, locked into the ship that fired bullets on it.
Snipers' bodies fidgeted. Their jaws locked while looking at the Sea Dragon eager to kill them. With no hesitation, the Sea Dragon drove its way, turning in the air, to the ship of the House of Snipers. As it reached the ship, it emitted a blast of fire which burned most of the Snipers' bodies.
Commander Eye rolled over then dived in. Some Snipers found their way to the water while others screamed for help. The fire burned some of the Snipers' bodies even before diving into the sea.
Standing on the next ship is Commander Darrisha, she gazed at the ocean, looking for Commander Eye's form. After having a moment in the water, Commander Eye appeared, moving its shoulders to Commander Darrisha's ship.
Commander Darrisha instructed her Eagles to unsheathe their arrows and place them on their bowstring.
"Ready your bows," she shouted as they lie in wait for its arrival.
"Nock."
"Mark."
"Draw."
As soon as the Sea Dragon reached their ship, a Soldier Eagle's hand exuded sweats releasing the arrow too early botching the entire plan. He used a skill that produced a rope attached to the arrow and unto his hand, hitting the Sea Dragon's body.
Its head turned into him, then it tugged the rope causing the Eagle to be thrown into its mouth.
"Loose!" Commander Darrisha said as nerves popped unto her face.
999 arrows swooshed fast in the air hitting the Sea Dragon's flesh. It blared once more.
"Secure your positions!"
The Soldier Eagles glided in the air as the Dragon moved anxiously. Some landed swiftly unto its back while others were being eaten continuously. The Sea Dragon wriggled its body to detach the Eagles. It dived into the sea and swam directly to the deepest part.
Soldier Eagles' ropes got detached from the Sea Dragon's flesh. It took them down to the deep ocean, losing their breaths. Some survived, but most of them drowned.
"Defenders, activate Underwater Oxygen," said Commander Tao.
"Activate Underwater Oxygen," Soldier Defenders shouted at the same time.
"Is that a gill?" a Peon Defender asked.
Their necks smoothly carved out their flesh in linear similar to the gills of the fish. This skill enables Wanderers to breathe in the water, and even move swiftly. While other guilds were focusing on skills used in the air and land, the Defenders of the Sword had put more of their attention to training in the water, which made them master this skill.
"Yumi, look for Khali here. I'll look for him in the sea." Dilan said as he activate his gills. Yumi nodded in response.
The Soldier Defenders unsheathed their swords then they plunged their heads into the water. As they swam deeper, they felt the powerful waves coming their way. The Sea Dragon's shadow roamed around the water.
"Attack!"
The Sea Dragon opened its mouth and then took up the surrounding bodies. It looked like the Defenders need to practice more in the water.
Not until Dilan executed one of his best skills.
"Roaring Blade Strike!"
His sword made the water moved sharply that it cut the Sea Dragon's legs. Its four legs spewed endless blood under the Sea. Growls echoed from the sea to the sky. It looked into Dilan, without him knowing, its tail hit him hard down to the bottom ground, losing his conscience.
As they saw Dilan from the ground, other Defenders put their skills to test.
"Dragon's Claw Strike!"
"Earth's Shadow Strike!"
They cut its other wing and damaged some of its flesh. They made the Sea Dragon cry until it can't take the pain anymore. Defenders' skills were really astonishing, they are indeed one of the best Wanderers in fighting monsters.
Guilds from above waited for the Sea Dragon's appearance as they hold their weapons firmly. A splash of water poured unto everyone's head. Soul Redeemer's Commander, Lei Lei, levitated in the air as the Sea Dragon appeared beneath her with its mouth ready to eat her.
"Redeeming Monster's soul," she uttered as her hands pushed the air in front, making the Sea Dragon's eye dark.
Lei Lei's skill had possessed the Sea Dragon. This skill allows Wanderer to possess one's soul and make it kill itself.
Failed to catch Lei Lei, the Sea Dragon's body landed on the Hammers of God's ship. The Hammermen ran to a safe space where they wouldn't get doomed.
"Heavy Smash Strike!" said Commander Magnus as he landed from the sky. His jump was pretty high that he broke the Sea Dragon's bone and the ship in half. It even made a small wave from the sea.
All Wanderers turned their heads to Commander Magnus.
"He's so strong. One strike and he killed the Sea Dragon."
"Bet he just wants to wait for the right timing," Commander Eye said as his body drained water from his soaked clothes.
"Look, the Dragon's crystal."
