The sky above the entire ocean remained shrouded in dark clouds.

Chaotic, merciless winds swept past the heavy, gloomy haze, stirring up layers of black cloud waves.

Terrifying waves rose hundreds of feet high, their surging crests dancing with the fierce winds.

The churning sea surface seemed ready to explode at any moment, threatening to raise waves that would touch the sky once again.

Thick White Mist hung above the sea, draping the entire dark and deep ocean in a mysterious veil.

Raindrops as large as beans fell toward the sea, piercing through the white smoke and creating foamy ripples where they struck the surface.

Countless boats of various sizes were caught up and suspended in the air by the raging hurricane, while heavy raindrops pounded against their hulls with deep thumping sounds.

The fishermen huddled in their cabins, fearfully watching the storm rage outside. Having survived waves that nearly touched the clouds earlier, they felt incredibly fortunate to still be alive.

However, this was no coincidence.

Levi stood atop a massive ship, with intricate and complex magic arrays suddenly appearing beneath him. These arrays were especially eye-catching amidst the boundless darkness.

Several rotating formations spread from beneath Levi's feet, with streams of multicolored light flowing frantically through their patterns. The mana within his body felt completely drained.

At his feet lay numerous empty mana potions. If not for the potions produced by the Kravina family, which House du Cloye purchased two bottles of daily, he likely would have collapsed on the spot.

The air grew unusually heavy, more oppressive than ever despite the previous downpour. Magical energy likewise stirred up turbulent currents, constantly gathering behind Levi, as if capable of completely shattering the entire surging ocean.

Obscure runes were continuously inscribed along the edges of the arrays, with magical power establishing solid connections between the formations. The otherworldly energy quickly engulfed the entire ship, even the captain could sense this abnormality.

He looked toward Duke Levi standing on the deck, his face filled with gratitude. If Duke Levi hadn't been here when those hundred-foot waves struck earlier, this ship wouldn't have just capsized - it might have been crushed to pieces!

Indeed, there were good reasons why someone could become a duke.

Levi's expression was extremely grave. Whether from his continuing mana consumption or not, beads of cold sweat had formed on his forehead.

Just now, he had seen it.

Deep in the thick, hazy sea mist, that enormous shadowy monster had leaped high above the surface. Then it had plunged back into the water with a splash.

Just that single diving motion.

Just a slight turn of its body.

And the entire ocean immediately grew restless.

Shocking waves like tsunamis spread in all directions. Under those frenzied waves earlier, he could only hurriedly use water magic to force the ship to stick to the surface of the waves.

As for the surrounding fishing boats, he had exhausted himself using air currents to keep them floating in the sky, preventing them from falling into the ocean and being shattered by the waves.

But that was all he could do - he had no energy to care about others. If there were any islanders living on nearby small islands, that was beyond his concern.

Using human power to fight natural disasters was still too difficult...

How did Viktor manage to do it?

After the waves subsided, Levi lowered those fishing boats from the sky. Coming back to his senses, he looked at Erica beside him, who had been continuously supplying him with mana, feeling grateful:

"Thank you, my dear."

"You've been a great help."

Erica responded with a gentle smile, though she looked somewhat tired.

Levi turned his gaze back toward the White Mist. He couldn't see clearly - the thick mist seemed to obscure everything.

The White Mist continued to spread outward, as if trying to completely engulf the surrounding seas. This mass of white mist seemed to be searching for something.

Constantly expanding, constantly seeking.

Levi had thought he'd given the Calamities enough credit. However, after witnessing that creature cause a terrifying tsunami just by turning its body... He realized he had still underestimated such beings.

'Now it's up to you, Viktor.'

Levi stared into the dense mist, his heart turbulent.

The ocean lay shrouded in White Mist, still deathly oppressive.

Viktor stood beneath the thick mist, his entire figure enveloped in the dense White Mist. Nothing was clearly visible.

Under Dozale's White Mist, he could barely even distinguish his own arms. There wasn't even a place for him to stand steadily.

Therefore, Viktor needed to create some terrain on the sea surface before Dozale appeared. Moreover, he had to find a way to disperse the thick, hazy smoke around him.

However, he already had solutions for these problems.

Viktor lowered his head and asked Vega on his shoulder:

"Where's Henie? Where is she now?"

"She's safe," Vega replied casually. "The moment the White Mist rose, Leighton had already taken Henie away from here."

Through his contract with the demon, Viktor could sense Leighton's presence. He could feel that Leighton was now far away from them.

After all, this crocodile might love getting angry, but it wasn't stupid.

Calamities were the foundation of world elements. These materialized beings weren't something demons like it could casually challenge.

At this moment, Viktor could sense countless creatures beneath the vast, surging ocean trembling non-stop, fearfully rushing deeper into the sea.

As if they were trying to hide.

They feared Dozale.

Even though everything in the ocean, all their blessings, came from Dozale.

Wuuu—

A massive whale song once again echoed from the ocean depths, spreading heavy reverberations in all directions.

Sensing an incredibly dense crisis, Viktor turned his body backward.

In that White Mist, he saw them.

A pair of eyes like light bulbs, appearing hazy in the White Mist.

The light illuminated its body outline in the White Mist, making it particularly clear.

Its towering body rose from the sea surface like a small mountain.

Its blue body seemed wrapped in a layer of azure mist, while its massive white belly bulged out, hidden within the White Mist.

The giant fins on both sides stretched out fully, extending for thousands of feet.

Under the shroud of White Mist, it appeared especially shocking.

In the ocean, it was the absolute ruler.

Its terrifying water element adaptation allowed it to traverse the ocean as if floating in air, while its ability to manipulate water elements let it freely raise massive waves and completely crush enemies.

The surrounding rain seemed to symbolize its anger and chaos - that was its power.

[Void Diving Sea Reversal]

The Water Calamity, Dozale.

It was the only Calamity that wandered throughout the world's endless oceans.

Compared to other Calamities, Dozale lacked the despair-inducing lava of the Fire Calamity, the powerful regeneration ability of the Wood Calamity, and even the extremely high-speed movement of the Wind Calamity.

Yet it simultaneously possessed various powerful abilities.

That was - Enhancement.

As long as it existed within the ocean, the Water Calamity could continuously draw power from the ocean depths.

These overflowing powers had, over a long time, transformed into permanent enhancements for Dozale.

Attack, defense, acceleration, cooldown reduction, tenacity...

Countless chaotic enhancements gathered upon Dozale's body, shaping it into an ultimate monster.

However—

When its health bar appeared before Viktor and revealed its level:

Water Calamity - Dozale

Lv60

In this battle, victory could only belong to him.

Dozale dove back into the ocean depths. Its massive body continuously swam beneath the surface.

Just by turning its body on the seafloor, it could raise massive waves, attempting to completely crush Viktor.

Chaotic raindrops continuously struck Viktor's face.

Viktor's expression remained calm, as if completely unconcerned about these frenzied waves.

He formed a crimson array in his hand, with mana rapidly flowing into it.

Countless patterns began twisting and intertwining together, quickly igniting around Viktor's body.

[Fourth-tier Magic: Heavenly Fire Tornado]

Crimson magical power erupted from around Viktor, forming a scarlet flame tornado that spun rapidly above the sea surface.

The scorching high temperature collided with the seawater, raising thick white steam.

Following the hurricane, it instantly exploded in the air, with reverberations sweeping across the sea surface as waves suddenly rose.

The towering waves were completely evaporated by the flame tornado.

The flames still swept across the sea surface, chasing Dozale as it swam about.

Only when Dozale dove deep into the ocean did the flame tornado gradually subside, with the space being shrouded once again by White Mist.

Even beyond the White Mist, the people on the fishing boats heard the massive rumbling from the ocean depths and immediately panicked.

From that huge ship came Duke Levi's magically amplified voice:

"Now, notify all survivors nearby to evacuate immediately! Leave this place!"

Everyone's hearts shook, and they hurriedly obeyed Duke Levi's command, rowing their fishing boats.

Under the surging rain and waves, they could only try their best to flee quickly.

Although the sea surface was also dangerous, and they might die there.

But if they continued to stay here...

They would definitely die here!

The surging power emanating from within that White Mist was something even ordinary people could sense its terrifying strength.

No one dared to waste a single second at this moment.

Meanwhile, just as the waves and flames dissipated.

Feeling his internal mana suddenly decrease by a portion.

Viktor gazed at Dozale before him, hands in his pockets, yet still calmly said:

"Indeed, the attributes are still too forced."

"Then, let's play properly with something less forced."

As his words fell, crimson patterns instantly covered Viktor's entire coat.

Terrifying aura immediately burst forth from within Viktor, creating ripple after ripple on the surrounding sea surface, spreading outward.

Huge red magical power transformed into flames that completely engulfed Viktor.

At the same time, a towering massive body leisurely emerged from the sea surface.

The surrounding gloomy sky seemed to be torn open by some mysterious force, creating a small gap.

Sunlight continuously poured down through it, shining upon that magma beast's body that had transformed into a sea of fire.

The beast stood in the ocean, magma falling from its body, building paths of solid obsidian on the ocean surface.

Sizzle— Sizzle—

As if about to completely evaporate the ocean, half its body submerged in the sea, raising terrifying clouds of steam.

The next second, the beast let out a roar.
