I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 388 The Heavenly Realm's combat techniques are still reliable.
"Exhausted Jack! He truly is a remnant of the earth!"

Feeling as if all the water in his body was being drained away, the naval lieutenant commander's face contorted with rage. Compared to George, who possessed illusionary abilities, Jack, whose ability was to control the amount of water, was considered a heretic among heretics in the eyes of the Sea People.

Although his current behavior is merely draining the water from the human body, if left to grow unchecked, no one can be sure that he won't grow into a monster capable of drying up the sea.

He must be killed!

The naval lieutenant commander pursed his dry lips. The divine favor of the sea god erupted within him. Obtaining divine favor is extremely difficult and random. Once it is consumed, it is unknown when it can be obtained again. Therefore, most naval personnel will not use this trump card casually.

However, at this moment, facing this monster that could be called the enemy of the ocean, the naval lieutenant commander resolutely activated the divine blessing.

His body began to swell, and the sound of the waves echoing in his ears seemed to take on a strange rhythm.

Mildly dehydrated skin instantly became plump, and with a casual swing of a sailor's knife, a stunning blade of light was unleashed.

The blade even sliced ​​off a section of the stern. Luckily, Jack knew he would become the primary target and managed to evade it in advance. However, just as he dodged the first blade, a foot encased in a leather boot was already in front of him.

Fortunately, the techniques taught by Delis were quite useful. Not to mention the advanced techniques that used the earth's power as a springboard, just the ability to use the least amount of divine power to maximize their advantages gave the two considerable combat skills.

The ability rating in the Sea World is divided into six categories: physical strength, mental strength, nerve reflexes, tactical mobility, combat skills, and equipment compatibility. Jack and George's physical strength and mental strength were raised to the upper standard level due to the effect of the Earth Fragment, while the remaining attributes were just at the standard level.

However, after being taught by Delis, they developed excellent combat skills. In fact, excellent was only their limit, not the upper limit of this technique!

Although Delis, who comes from the heavens, looks silly, she is a true academic genius. Any knowledge she has in her mind would be a priceless secret manual in the mortal world.

Even the Sea People, a force that has been operating for thousands of years, cannot match her teachings in just a few days in terms of their exploration of divine power.

Just as George disrupted the exquisite ritual that the Sea God priest had been practicing for more than ten years with only a trace of mental manipulation, Jack was now entangled with a naval lieutenant commander whose actual rating was at least two levels higher than his, thanks to his innate divine skill of "controlling water volume," which had a great suppressive effect on the Sea God's divine arts.

The naval lieutenant commander grew increasingly frustrated as the fight progressed. Despite his opponent being inferior to him in every aspect, his attacks were always managed to find a gap that would prevent him from getting hurt. Furthermore, in close combat, he was easily misled by the illusionist boy who was hiding somewhere.

The naval lieutenant commander, having missed again, suddenly let out a loud shout. As the sound waves mixed with divine power surged, Jack's mind became momentarily dazed, and the flow of his abilities paused. The naval lieutenant commander's face lit up with joy, and as he closed the distance, he unleashed dozens of sword strikes in an instant!

He didn't know if the kid in front of him was hallucinating, but even if he was, as long as he increased his attack range, he could still manage to cut him down...

Danger!

Suddenly, the naval lieutenant commander felt a chill run down his spine. His hard-earned combat experience made him turn around and slash, but to his horror, the one who had been cut in two was one of his own captains!
Seeing the captain's intestines spilling out onto the ground, not quite dead yet, the naval lieutenant commander's brain twitched, because immediately afterward, a group of his sailors actually raised their knives and slashed at him!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" The naval lieutenant commander roared in a somewhat frenzied manner. The immense mental pressure pounded into the sailors one by one, and he kept slamming his sailor's knife out.

But with over five hundred combatants spread out on the deck, it was indeed quite dense. Under the cover of that damned illusion, Jack's dangerous abilities, mixed among them, were constantly weakening his combat capabilities.

Most of the sea god's spells require water as a medium, but when the ship becomes as dry as a desert under the scorching sun, the power of these spells will naturally decrease.

"Come out! Come out! Come out!"

The naval lieutenant commander roared angrily, the sound waves making Jack, who was hiding in the shadows, feel nauseous. But he still endured the dizziness and continued to use his abilities.

George's abilities are overwhelmingly dominant in the melee, but his weaknesses are also very obvious. As the sailors lose their fighting ability one by one, the two will eventually have to face a direct confrontation with the naval lieutenant commander.

However, it's not entirely hopeless!

As Jack silently counted in his mind, he squeezed out a surge of divine power and threw it out. The precise control greatly extended his endurance, but in order to prevent the naval lieutenant commander from discovering his location, the multiple changes and maneuvers put an extraordinary strain on his mind.

The naval lieutenant commander was so enraged by Jack that he began to disregard the lives of his crew and directly draw water from the ocean to sustain the battle, forcing Jack to stay away from him.

Finally, a water jet accidentally grazed Jack's body. Although it was just a thin line of blood, the naval lieutenant commander, like a shark smelling blood, instantly locked onto Jack's location.

George's illusion should have been perfect, but when he performed precise operations on a small scale, it would weaken some of its performance. Jack, who was locked on, had no room to evade. He gritted his teeth, mobilized all his divine power, and did not use any more divine magic. Instead, he kept recalling Delis's teachings and mobilized the power that represented the earth.

Perhaps it was a breakthrough in the face of crisis, or perhaps it was just a coincidence, but a technique that might not succeed even once in ten attempts was perfectly transformed at this moment. At this instant, Jack's divine power, which would have turned into "water manipulation" no matter what, transformed into another form.

That is the earth's weight, the earth's vastness, the earth's resilience.

As the blade and dagger clashed, the major's smile vanished instantly. The brat, who should have been cleaved in two with a single blow, seemed as indestructible as Pava alloy.

Just then, a loud bang suddenly accompanied by the vibration of the deck spread from below. The waterline of the warship suddenly rose, and an ominous premonition arose in the major's mind. Jack, however, seemed to receive a signal and quickly woke up from the afterglow of the previous "perfect parry". He leaped into the sea and plunged into the water.

The naval lieutenant commander instinctively swung his sword, but the moment the blade shattered the boy's body, he knew it was another damned illusion.
