Whoosh—!

In the dim world, Aiven quickly advanced, following behind "Kaka".

After crafting the "Shadow Talisman", he experimented a few times.

Aiven soon discovered that due to the significant physiological and sensory differences between shadow creatures and normal humans, not only could he not linger long in the crevices of shadows, but even his perspective of observing the outside world through the Shadow Realm was completely distorted.

This distortion of perspective was even more excessive than being beneath the "Ghost Cloak".

Without Kaka's guidance, if a borrowed "Shadow Talisman" assassin tried, without long-term training, not only would it be difficult to find a target, ensuring they don't get lost in the shadow world would be quite challenging!

However, navigating the Shadow Realm was indeed much faster and more convenient than the Material World.

It felt like just a few steps later, Aiven had already jumped back into the Material World following Kaka.

Step!

The landing point was on the deck of the "Royal Guardian".

Apparently.

Aiven had used the method that the "Shadow Lizard" intended to sneak attack the "Storm Horn", crossing the roughly five hundred-meter distance between two warships in just a few seconds, standing beside Bertram.

Seeing Solomon's curiosity and eagerness at his appearance, Aiven quickly dispelled Solomon's dangerous thoughts, as he didn't wish for this guy to use the "Shadow Talismans" he had given him to commit suicide:

"Don't even think about it. The spatial layout of the Shadow Realm is chaotic to us. Without a shadow creature as a guide, even a mast less than a meter wide could seem infinitely distant to us.

If you randomly run into the shadow crevice and get sucked into a deeper Shadow Realm, you may never come back."

As he spoke, he was already next to Bertram on the bronze cannon, rapidly adjusting elevation and angle with the help of "Data Visualization".

The current sea condition data cascaded in front of Aiven like a waterfall.

Even though he had never used this "Cassaray Bronze Cannon" before, Aiven was confident because Ocean Treasures mostly possess absolute characteristics, with no discrepancies between the first and second uses.

Most importantly, the flight path of the "Bomb Cyclone" launched by the bronze cannon was completely straight, with gravity having a minimal effect.

As long as he seized the opportunity, he could fire as soon as the cannon was aimed at the "Iron Armor Sea Horse"!

At this moment, it had been merely a few seconds since Aiven arrived on the "Royal Guardian" via "Shadow Jump".

The situation over at the "Storm Horn" had already further deteriorated.

The pursuing "Iron Armor Sea Horse", even temporarily blinded, was much faster than a warship purely relying on wind power. Just as Aiven was aiming, it had closed in to less than a hundred meters behind the "Storm Horn".

At this point, not to mention Solomon firing the cannon, even the confident Aiven silently felt a bit of pressure.

If by accident the "Bomb Cyclone" swept into his own warship, not only would he instantly become a commander without a crew, he would also have to face a military court.

Knowing he couldn't wait any longer, Aiven took a deep breath and fired the bronze cannon the instant the cannon aligned with the target.

The cannon merely trembled slightly, with nearly zero recoil.

Woo—!

In the dazzling white light, the howling whirlwind shot out.

At a roughly one kilometer distance, Aiven could hit the eyes of the "Iron Armor Sea Horse" with a sniper firearm, making a miss this time even less likely.

After a brief flight, the "Bomb Cyclone" hit its submerged waist!

Instantly.

A white cyclone with a diameter of a hundred meters rapidly formed, pulling in the surrounding air to transform into biting cold winds, and maritime vapor became freezing rain enveloping this entire area.

Frost blades, hurricane, extreme cold arrived successively, completely surrounding the "Iron Armor Sea Horse".

Crack.. crack...

A large area of sea water solidified, trapping it completely. Though the frost blades were deadly to humans, they didn't greatly affect its outer shell, but the severe cold mixed with freezing rain swiftly coated it with a thick layer of ice armor.

Though the damage radius was only a hundred meters, it felt like winter had arrived in the seas several kilometers around, with white fog accompanying normal speech.

Needless to say, the Iron Armor Sea Horse at the center of the "Bomb Cyclone".

Even transformed into a sea monster, the sea horse, being a fish, is a cold-blooded animal, and the chilling downpour swiftly drained it of heat.

In a short time, the "Iron Armor Sea Horse" became completely immobile, and through the crystal-clear ice surface formed by rapid freezing, one could see the underwater stout tentacles frozen still.

"Did we succeed? Shall we fire another volley?"

Seeing the target had completely lost mobility, Solomon walked over to Aiven, suggesting.

"Let's wait. Sea monsters possess formidable life force, and the longer they're frozen, the greater the damage. Firing now could shatter the ice layer, releasing it—a troublesome situation since we no longer have a third 'Bomb Cyclone' to use."

In a frozen state, the cells inside an organism could be damaged by ice crystals, resulting in permanent harm. There's no such thing as preserving freshness for millennia after freezing; it's more likely they'll turn into "zombie meat" rather than "fresh meat" after thawing.

Gurgle... gurgle...

"What's that sound?"

However, shortly thereafter, a strange noise emanated from below the surface.
