Lionheart Society: I am an S-class freshman, with infinite power of words.

A slight smile appeared on Lin Chen's lips: "Out of contact? Who said they've lost contact?"

Manstein looked at Lin Chen in disbelief: "You still have contact with them? We've lost all their signals. My Word of Power is a snake. I released them ten minutes ago. In the underwater area, all I felt was chaos."

Lin Chen shrugged; he had released his snake a few minutes earlier.

The same Word Spirit Serpent, but Lin Chen's domain is dozens of times larger than Manstein's!

From the moment Nuonuo and Lu Mingfei entered the water, Lin Chen's snake had been locked onto them.

They just encountered some trouble, but nothing life-threatening. Lin Chen has already instructed EVA to do everything in their power to help them.

Lin Chen shifted his gaze to the window; that was what he should be concerned about.

Outside, everything was a white expanse, steam rising from the river under the intense heat. The King of Bronze and Fire had heated the river, raising the temperature to over fifty degrees Celsius.

150: Dragon King Norton Fusion! Storm Torpedo Launch!

Professor Manstein was in a panic; he was completely absorbed in the realm of snakes.

This would have a certain impact on him. At this point, Professor Manstein was exhausted and had no way to command the battle.

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly and looked around the entire control room.

"From now on, I will take over the position of captain."

Everyone nodded in unison. As the only S-rank present, Lin Chen, who remained calm under pressure, was the most suitable candidate for Commander.

Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction: "First mate, take the helm; second mate, ensure fuel supply in the engine room; all units, ensure monitoring of sonar, infrared, holographic and other equipment; Zero, you are in charge of launching the Storm torpedoes!"

Zero asked calmly, "Me?"

Lin Chen looked into Zero's eyes: "Remember what I told you, be a good listener."

Zero instinctively straightened up: "Understood!"

The ship suddenly began to rock violently, and something sharp like a spear pierced through the steel plates at the bottom of the hull.

Everyone panicked, and the first mate shouted in a panic, "The Storm torpedo has been hit by the blast wave, and the warhead has been destroyed!"

More shouts followed.

"The second watertight compartment is flooding!"

"Fuel pipeline leak!"

"Fire has broken out in the rear compartment! It's uncertain whether it will affect critical equipment!"

Lin Chen stood calmly in front of the control panel: "Start the engine, full power, hard left then hard right, try to shake him off!"

Suddenly someone realized something was wrong: "Sonar! We're out of sonar! The self-test program shows it's been manually removed!"

The first mate was dumbfounded: "How is this possible? It was working just now, who dismantled it while the ship was moving forward!"

Zero suddenly pointed out the window: "I know, it's him!"

Everyone followed Zero's finger and looked towards the porthole, instantly becoming disoriented as if they had seen a ghost.

Outside the speeding ship, a man dressed entirely in iron gray walked past expressionlessly, throwing the dismantled sonar transmitter through the window!

The man's body was flushed crimson as if on fire, but he suddenly plunged into the water.

Lin Chen looked at the spot where the man had entered the water, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Long time no see... Old Tang!"

Lin Chen left the cabin and stood on the deck of the Moniach.

Old Tang had already sunk to the bottom of the water, beneath him lay a magnificent dragon.

That was the dragon servant of the King of Bronze and Fire; Lin Chen had already killed one of them before this.

But the King of Bronze and Fire also has a new dragon servant, which lifts Old Tang up from underwater.

Old Tang smiled as he gazed in the direction of the Moniach, a silent smile on his face.

Lin Chen saw his smile from several hundred meters away and knew that it was Old Tang smiling at him.

No, that's not Old Tang anymore, that's Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire.

It raised its hand and inserted it into the Dragon King's brain, then suddenly stepped inside.

The dragon servant trembled, emitting a dying groan, as if enduring immense pain, until Norton's figure slowly disappeared, at which point his dragon-like body began to tremble again.

Lin Chen understood: Norton had merged with his dragon servant.

At this moment, the King of Bronze and Fire was the true Dragon King. It suddenly opened and closed its eyes, and the golden flames in its pupils were raging. It slowly spread its wings and moved its body, its scales undulating like water, and it let out a heavy roar with its breath.

Dragon King Norton... this is its complete form!

Norton let out a provocative roar at Lin Chen and dived back into the water.

A golden figure could be faintly seen swimming rapidly underwater, heading straight for the Moniach.

Fighting a dragon-king level creature underwater is not a wise decision; Lin Chen has better options in comparison.

Lin Chen turned around: "Prepare to launch the torpedoes!"

The first mate was stunned: "What... the alchemical warhead of the torpedo has been destroyed!"

"Install a conventional warhead!" Lin Chen said. "Even if it's a dud, I don't need it to explode. It can just serve as a melee weapon within the trajectory of the Moniach!"

The first mate seemed to understand: "You mean, launch him like an arrow?"

"At that speed, even the Dragon King couldn't dodge!"

"Understood, I'll get ready right away!" The first mate's spirits lifted.

The Moniach restarted its engines, unleashing all its power, and charged toward the Dragon King like a warhead.

At the same time, Zero tightly controlled the torpedo and suddenly pulled down the launch gate!

The flames engulfed everything, and the ship shook violently.

The equipment department made all the necessary preparations for the launch of the Storm torpedo, including the alchemical warhead and even the specially designed launch tube.

Within such a launch tube, even a pile of scrap metal can unleash damage comparable to a Tomahawk missile.

The rocket engine also burst into huge flames underwater, and the Storm Torpedo flew out like an arrow.

Lin Chen stared at the afterimage left by the Storm Torpedo, watching it pierce through the flames of Dragon King Norton and slam into the Dragon King's body.

"boom!"

Target hit!

The storm torpedo slammed into the Dragon King, and even the Dragon King's immense strength was thrown backward by it.

The water surface surged and rippled like a tsunami, and the Dragon King landed in the water two hundred meters away, slowly sinking.

Lin Chen stood on the deck, looking at the place where the Dragon King had landed.

Ling, clutching her lower abdomen, walked up from behind and stood behind Lin Chen: "Did we... win?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "It's not that easy. If it were that effective, the Equipment Department wouldn't have needed to develop alchemical warheads!"

Lin Chen noticed Ling's lower abdomen, where she was bleeding. The vibration from the launch had sent shards of glass flying, cutting her abdomen.

Lin Chen waved to the second mate in the distance: "First aid kit!"

Ling waved his hand: "I'm fine, just a minor injury!"

Lin Chen stared at Zero's wound and shook his head: "At this rate of blood loss, you'll die if it's not bandaged in time!"

Before Lin Chen could even react, the second mate had already tossed the first-aid kit into his hands.

Lin Chen took out alcohol and gauze from inside, turned to look at Zero: "Lie down!"

Zero hesitated, "I'll do it myself. You still need to face the Dragon King."

"You've forgotten what I said again."

Ling instinctively shut up and lay down on the deck as Lin Chen had instructed.

Lin Chen squatted down and lifted the combat uniform covering Ling's lower abdomen. There was a long wound, and blood was gushing out.

Lin Chen used vitamin K1 to stop the bleeding in Ling, and then disinfected the area with alcohol.

As the alcohol was applied to the wound, Zero's lips twitched slightly, but her expression remained indifferent, as if the pain was not emanating from her.

She really listened to Lin Chen's words.

Lin Chen told her to be obedient, and she really would be.

Lin Chen told her to lie down, so she obediently lay down, not showing any sign of pain, no matter how much it hurt.

Lin Chen skillfully applied medicine and bandaged her wounds, and Ling stared straight at him.

"Due to limited conditions, we cannot perform suturing at the moment," Lin Chen said. "We can only do a simple bandage. With the dragon blood circulating, I think your recovery will be quick."

"You've done a fantastic job. Just watch from the sidelines for the rest!"

"Don't worry about the Dragon King. It was just hit. It won't be seriously injured, but it will definitely be a big shock."

"It's being restrained now; it's encountered a very powerful adversary underwater."

Zero hesitated for a moment: "Nono and Lu Mingfei are still underwater, they might be in danger."
