Otherworld Bone Dragon Operation Guide

Chapter 327 Naga Queen
However, as she plummeted at high speed, she caught a horrified glimpse of a figure swooping down beside her! It was a black-haired youth with a pair of strange wings that seemed to be woven from flowing shadows!
This is the high-level dark-elemental flight spell that Su Ming learned from Ruixiuli—'Dark Veil Wings'—and today is the first time he has used it in actual combat.

The speed of 'Dark Veils' was clearly faster than the Queen's! Su Ming overtook her, seizing the lead in the Naga Queen's escape route! Without turning his head, he raised his right hand, fingers forming a claw, and pressed down in mid-air:

"The Claws of Restraint!"

Dense shadow magic gathered and solidified in the air, instantly transforming into a gigantic shadow hand that fiercely grabbed at the Naga Queen who was charging towards it!

At the same time, Su Ming took a rifle from behind his back with his left hand! It looked similar to an ordinary rifle, but the magazine was unusually wide and thick, and it was full of long and narrow special bullets that were nearly 20 centimeters long!
Su Ming turned around, raised the muzzle of his gun, and steadily locked onto the target!
But the "Claws of Imprisonment" suddenly closed, only managing to grab a spray of seawater that was flying everywhere!

Not far away on the sea, a faint blue glow flashed by like a deep-sea breath! The Naga Queen's figure, like a ghost, re-emerged in the water!

"The Yuanliu snakes!" 』

With such incredible water escape skills, no wonder the Queen was so confident and dared to stay behind to cover the rear! Su Ming thought to himself.

The Naga Queen glared hatefully at Su Ming from the water, her azure vertical pupils filled with humiliation and anger. With a nimble and powerful flick of her fish tail, covered in fine and gorgeous scales, she instantly submerged into the water, seemingly becoming one with the surrounding seawater without creating a ripple, and swiftly swam towards the dark depths of the sea without a trace of emotion!

The grayish-white magic that originally clung to the scales and eroded their vitality was quickly washed away in the seawater.

****
Su Ming immediately lowered his flight altitude, skimming the undulating sea surface to track the Queen's trail. The Queen's swimming speed was incredibly fast in the water, but it was ultimately no match for Su Ming's speed in the air.

More importantly, during that failed "Imprisonment Claw" attack, Su Ming's other magic, "Dark Beacon," had already quietly attached itself to the Queen!

Therefore, even in the pitch-black sea, her location was clearly visible to Su Ming through his mental perception!

Suddenly, several Naga mages, like water ghosts, leaped from the deep water to the shallow water! Across the rippling sea, they instantly conjured sharp ice spikes and heavy water spears, all aimed at Su Ming, who was flying low in the air!
Su Ming instantly raised the amphibious rifle in his hand, pointed the muzzle at the underwater target, and decisively pulled the trigger!
"Rat-a-tat-tat—!"

A series of muffled gunshots rang out, and long, narrow, arrow-shaped bullets shot out from the muzzle!
The moment these specially designed munitions enter the water, a stable cavitation layer forms in front of the projectile, greatly reducing water resistance and giving it a lethal effective range of over thirty meters underwater!

Puff puff puff!

Amidst the churning water, a green mist of blood instantly spread! The Naga mages who attempted to attack Su Ming were immediately pierced by underwater ricochets, their limbs twisting and twitching twice before falling still.

Su Ming felt a pang of heartache watching this scene. Each of these arrow-shaped projectiles was inlaid with tiny magic crystals and etched with complex rune arrays, making the production process extremely complicated.

But the results of the verification also satisfied him—the underwater shooting weapon on the technology side, combined with the magic-based anti-magic technology, achieved the expected attack effect on underwater targets!
"It's a pity... I couldn't use them to fire a burst at the Naga Queen as well," Su Ming murmured with a hint of regret. A graceful figure appeared beside Su Ming; it was Zi Jin. She sat leisurely on the Divine Favor Staff, her posture carefree and relaxed.

"You finished that really quickly!" Su Ming exclaimed.

"Before I could even unleash my full power, they all surrendered." Violet curled her lip and gestured with her chin towards the direction of the Pansy. "Look, there are over thirty more prisoners. Looks like we'll have to set up a prisoner-of-war camp!"

Su Ming turned his head and saw that the battle on the Pansy had ended. Under Bowers' command, the students on the deck were carrying out the post-battle cleanup in an orderly manner: taking in the surrendered priests and bishops as prisoners, while chasing down the sea eagles that had lost their riders and were scattering in panic.

These sea eagles were enormous, with powerful wings and razor-sharp talons. Subduing and capturing them without harming them proved quite difficult for the trainees, resulting in a somewhat chaotic scene.

In the fierce battle that had just taken place on the deck, nearly a hundred Naga warriors had been killed. The few who were seriously wounded but not yet dead were now subdued by the students using binding spells and were also taken prisoner.

The two withdrew their gaze and refocused on the deep, dark sea below that had swallowed the Naga Queen.

At this moment, with the faint senses of the 'Dark Beacon', Su Ming could clearly "perceive" that the Naga Queen was leading the remaining members of her people, like a school of frightened fish, frantically fleeing into the dark seawater.

"Don't rush after them!" Violet warned solemnly. "Underwater, the Naga's fighting power is ten times more terrifying than on the surface! That's their absolute territory!"

As she spoke, powerful magic gathered in Violet's hands! She raised the Staff of Doom high, aiming it at the sea where the Queen had last disappeared, and unleashed the destructive magic she had been preparing for:
"Annihilation of Chaos!"

A torrent of pure, dark energy, seemingly capable of swallowing light, shot into the sea! It exploded violently in the water, the black energy spreading wildly like ink, eroding and annihilating everything around it! The calm sea was forcibly torn apart, creating raging waves and whirlpools!
The Naga warriors, who did not have time to dive into deeper waters, were swept away by this terrifying chaotic energy and instantly lost all signs of life.

As the violent energy gradually dissipated and the sea calmed down from its violent turbulence, a large number of Naga corpses floated to the surface like abandoned garbage, drifting with the waves.

Su Ming scanned the floating corpses and turbulent waters, and finally slowly shook his head, not finding the Naga Queen.

"The magic is weakened layer by layer underwater, and the decay is too severe." Violet looked at the gradually calming sea and shrugged helplessly.

Su Ming nodded. It was indeed a bit too much to expect to kill a deep-sea powerhouse like the Naga Queen with just one spell.

"Then we'll just have to wait until next time!" He stared coldly in the direction the Queen had disappeared. "I'll go find her and settle this score with interest!"
