Chapter 281 King Of The Ocean
"Quick, speed it up, you lazy fools!"
"Yes, Captain!"
"Captain, I think I just saw a sea monster!"
"Where?"
Under the afternoon radiance of the sun
.
Near the coast of the Black Ocean, at the edge of the Kairos Empire, a large fishing vessel hurried toward the shore.
"Buzz!"
A portal suddenly materialized in midair, right above the ship's deck. The shimmering energy startled the crew as they watched with wide-eyed curiosity.
"What in the abyss is this?" the captain muttered in bewilderment, his brow furrowed.
Before anyone could respond, a figure emerged from the dark portal—a striking man clad in sophisticated black clothing, exuding an aura of authority and danger.
The fishermen froze, their awe and fear palpable as they felt an overwhelming presence, as though this man could decide their fates with a mere gesture.
Aengus surveyed the area briefly, confirming he was indeed at the edge of the Black Ocean.
"Lord, who are you?" the captain cautiously asked, his tone trembling with unease.
Aengus gave no response, dismissing the question with a mere glance. They were of no consequence to his mission.
Unfurling his majestic dark dragon wings, he soared into the sky with a powerful flap that sent shockwaves through the air, rocking the fishing vessel violently.
"Captain, he's terrifyingly strong! If we had offended him, we'd be dead before the sea monster even got to us," one fisherman said, his voice shaking in fear.
"But why is he flying over the Black Ocean?" another whispered, staring at Aengus' confident figure fading into the horizon. "Doesn't he know this is the domain of the Legendary Kraken? The stories say it will destroy anyone who dares to fly above its head..."
The captain and his crew exchanged uneasy glances, murmuring prayers to whatever deities they believed in, hoping the mysterious man wouldn't provoke the wrath of the ocean's mythical terror.
"Rumble!"
Just as Aengus ascended to an altitude of 500 meters above the ocean bed, he unleashed a burst of power, amplifying his speed and aura manyfold. The force of his ascent tore through the skies with such violent motion that it felt as though the heavens themselves might collapse under the immense pressure.
"Oh heavens!"
The fishermen below were struck with terror. The deafening sound of the sky splitting sent tremors through their eardrums, and they fell to the deck clutching their heads in fear. By the time they gathered enough courage to look, the mysterious man in black had vanished from sight, leaving behind only an ominous tension in the air.
"Captain, this is bad... This is really bad," one of the crew whispered hoarsely. "I've got a feeling something beyond our understanding is about to happen. Let's not wait any longer.."

Aengus sped through the skies, his dark wings cutting through the thick atmosphere with precision. Despite his impressive natural speed, he frowned slightly. It's not enough.
He even activated his mastery over the laws of space, bending and folding the fabric of reality to compress the vast distance ahead of him.
Aengus soared through the darkening skies, his sharp eyes scanning the tumultuous waters below. He was acutely aware of the dangers of traversing the Black Ocean, but fear was not something that could sway him. Instead, his heart burned with determination as he sought the legendary sea monsters rumored to dwell in these depths—beasts that could fuel his growth and propel him to greater heights.
Occasionally, he would swoop down, capturing higher-level oceanic creatures that ventured too close to the surface. Their struggles were brief, as they were swiftly absorbed into his synthesis process. Each victory brought a subtle yet satisfying rise in his level and power.
After an hour, Aengus found himself in the heart of the Black Ocean. The environment was oppressive; the skies above were in constant turmoil, with flashes of thunder striking so frequently that they illuminated the sky like a strobe. The waters below churned violently, an endless abyss of dark waves that seemed to reach up, eager to swallow him whole.
Evening had fallen, and the fading light gave way to an eerie darkness. The gloom was heavy, the kind that would crush the spirit of an ordinary adventurer. But for Aengus, it was invigorating. This was no mere crossing of a dangerous territory; this was his hunting ground.
In the minds of most, crossing the heart of the Black Ocean was unthinkable to many. Find adventures at mvl
The Tales of the Legendary Kraken, the King of the Ocean, were enough to deter even the bravest warriors. This ancient, immortal creature ruled these waters with absolute dominance, capable of manipulating the ocean itself with terrifying ease. Known for its massive size and overwhelming strength, the Kraken had crushed countless challengers in its long existence.
"So, You're here..."
Aengus smirked sensing something downward in the very depth of the ocean.
"RUMMMMMMBLLLLLLEEEEEEEE!"
A deafening, guttural roar erupted from the depths of the Black Ocean, shaking the very atmosphere.
The sound reverberated like a thousand tidal waves crashing simultaneously, a mix of unearthly growls and aquatic vibrations.
"SHAAAAAAARRRRGHHHHHH!"
The roar crescendoed, echoing with primal rage, a challenge that seemed to ripple through the water and sky alike.
The chilling, otherworldly cry was filled with wrath and power, sending shockwaves that caused the surrounding waters to rise in massive, spiraling whirlpools.
Aengus sensed massive tentacles, colossal in size, lunging toward him from all directions like the limbs of a monstrous octopus.
The sheer scale of the Kraken's appendages made him seem like a mere insect in comparison.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Aengus retaliated with relentless ferocity, throwing powerful punches and kicks. Each strike was charged with destructive energy, landing with bone-shattering force against the Kraken's tough, rubbery hide.
Tentacles recoiled violently, crashing back into the saltwater with deafening splashes, while others were obliterated entirely under the force of his blows.
Shredded remains of the Kraken's tentacles rained down, accompanied by streams of its thick, blue blood. The fluid sizzled like acid as it hit the ocean's surface, creating hissing steam clouds and a pungent, salty stench that filled the air.
Aengus hovered mid-air, his wings keeping him steady amidst the chaotic flurry of attacks, his eyes glowing with unyielding resolve. "
Is this all you've got, King of the Ocean
?" he taunted to provoke it on the surface.
