Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 7 The Moving Calamity

"Quickly, beat the big drum!!!"

While everyone stared in disbelief at the colossal creature that seemed to inspire despair, Atler was the first to react.

They hadn't even been able to fully discern the colossal creature's shape, only making out glimpses, but Atler immediately realized that this colossal object before them was their target...

Giant snake.

Jormungandr.

Without regard for anything else, his first reaction was to turn around and urgently shout to his brothers behind him.

"call!!!"

But just then, the aftershocks of the hurricane that suddenly rose on the sea blew violently toward the brothers.

Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, and the huge waves stirred up by the gale strong enough to snap trees made the more than 20-meter-long dragon-headed warship bob up and down in the raging sea like a thin leaf, as if it could capsize at any moment.

However, the countless mysterious runes engraved on the hull of the dragon-headed warship suddenly burst into a bright white light.

Just like a stabilizing pearl, the giant waves that were about to submerge the dragon-headed warship suddenly slowed down as they approached the ship, as if they had been tamed, and turned into small waves that rushed towards the dragon-headed warship.

As a people who occupied vast lands in a mythical world teeming with monsters, these Norsemen were not the Norsemen of history. They had an exceptionally rich experience in dealing with sea monsters and giant beasts. It can be said that, apart from some similarities in cultural customs and language, in many ways, these Norsemen were no different from the Norsemen of history.

To prepare for this revenge expedition, the Edgar family spared no expense, hiring numerous wizards and witches to inscribe magical runes on the dragon-headed warships to guard against any unforeseen circumstances.

Clearly, the wizards hadn't cut corners, so even in the face of such rough seas, the dragon-headed warship was still able to hold its course without capsizing.

Although the ship was still rocking violently, it was now just a normal rough sea, far less dramatic than the towering waves of before.

Meanwhile, one of Atler's quick-thinking brothers stumbled and staggered toward the stern on the swaying deck.

Immediately, he hurriedly picked up a hammer from the stern and smashed it down with all his might at something that looked like an anvil!

"boom!"

In an instant, the hammer struck the iron plate, producing a crisp metallic clang.

Immediately afterwards, a thunderous buzzing sound suddenly resounded across the sea.

"Boom! B ...

Like a dragon's roar, like thunder, a deafening boom spread across the sea in an instant, the enormous sound causing the sea surface to tremble.

At the stern of the dragon-headed warship, a huge stone drum, seemingly made of jade, hangs. This enormous stone drum, as large as a bed, is tightly bound to the hull by countless ropes, and at this moment, it is vibrating continuously.

This giant stone drum was specially designed by the Norse to deal with sea monsters that were tens of meters long. By striking the small drum, the complex structure would cause countless ropes to pull the huge stone drum to vibrate. The huge and deep sound was undoubtedly a deadly noise to the sea monsters, making them not want to approach this ship at all.

However, faced with the earth-shaking waves that would make countless sea monsters retreat, the mountain-like behemoth merely shook its head slightly, as if it was only slightly uncomfortable from the shock.

Then, it suddenly plunged into the sea.

"Wow!!!"

Its enormous body, stretching as far as the eye could see, as majestic as a mountain range and as overwhelming as the sky, immediately stirred up a towering wave hundreds of feet high on the sea.

"boom!!!"

The waves were so high that they seemed to reach the heavens, and now, these towering waves, with their overwhelming force, were surging toward Atler and his men's dragon-headed warship.

"Get out of the way!!!"

Atler roared urgently at his brothers behind him who were operating the oars.

These strong and burly men were directly and forcefully maneuvering the oars, trying to avoid the impact of this giant wave.

"Wow!!!"

A towering wave, no less than ten thousand tons, surged toward the dragon-headed warship.

Under the impact of this immense force, each rune burst forth with dazzling white light, attempting to protect the dragon-headed warship from the disaster. Illuminated by countless intense white lights, the dragon-headed warship seemed to instantly transform into a ship of light, sailing on the turbulent sea.

Incredibly, the dragon-headed warship defied the tide and veered away from the center of the massive wave. However, other ships were not so lucky. Right before Atler's eyes, one of the dragon-headed warships, caught off guard, was struck by the wave and vanished from the sea under the impact of the massive wave, which weighed tens of thousands of tons.

Given the unstoppable power of that giant wave, their best outcome might be to have a few pieces of ship plank left behind.

However, up to now, the two sides have not even engaged in a direct confrontation. With just a few insignificant moves from the other side, Atler's side has directly lost two dragon-headed warships.

Turning his head, Atler looked at the colossal creature whose mountain-like body was so enormous that it hadn't even managed to submerge half of its body into the sea, with half of its body still remaining on the surface. Atler's face turned ashen.

The closer one gets to this colossal creature, the more acutely one becomes aware of its immense size…

Under Atler's gaze, the monster before him seemed like an endless wall, isolating him from the entire world, inspiring despair... No, it was even larger than a wall, it was a mountain! A continuous mountain range!

Amidst the wind and rain, even if only a few bodies were revealed, they were already far larger than human imagination could comprehend.

At this moment, the entire world seemed to be covered by the monster's enormous body, and even the sunlight appeared dim.

"Boom!!!!"

Above, thunder roared, and dark clouds gradually covered the entire sky, as if proclaiming the rage of this behemoth.

The entire ocean was going mad with its rage, and boundless waves and enormous whirlpools were born from its actions.

In Atler's presence, it was as if the whole world was enraged.

"Natural disaster..."

He murmured to himself.

Indeed, aside from natural disasters, Atler didn't even know how else to describe this behemoth.

Its existence is like a natural disaster, such as a tornado, a volcanic eruption, or a thunderbolt, leaving no room for resistance.

Atler, a warrior who considered himself fearless, experienced fear for the first time...

Out of the corner of his eye, Atler could also see a hint of fear mixed in with the unusually ugly faces of his brothers.

"collapse!"

But suddenly, an arrow whistled past Atler's ear.

Turning around, he saw Lina standing at the bow of the ship, wearing leather armor and holding a longbow, braving the raging wind.

Her eyes were fixed fearlessly on the enormous serpent before her, which seemed like a natural disaster. Her gaze was filled with nothing but hostility, and her posture was like that of a majestic Valkyrie, exuding an indescribable heroic spirit.

"My brother, are you afraid?"

She said without turning her head.

Perhaps, among all of them, she was the only one who was not afraid of the giant serpent Jormungandr at all.

Hatred gave her the greatest courage.

Atler was stunned for a moment, then a strange sense of pride welled up within him, and he burst into unrestrained laughter.

“Afraid? How could that be? There’s no coward in the Edgar family.”

As he spoke, he turned around and roared at his brothers behind him.

"Is anyone scared?!"

"No!!!"

The only response he received was a unanimous reply.

"Then let's see if Edgar's son can avenge our family!"

As he spoke, Atler pulled a hand axe from his waist and roared loudly.
