Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

Snowflakes fell.

An looked at the breaking news in the newspaper and couldn't help but smile slightly,

"The bounty's risen to a hundred million shell coins. Impressive indeed. Worthy of being my disciple..."

However, what exactly is Qi's situation now, is he a monster to begin with, or has he been bewitched by a witch? While An felt joy for Chen Qi, she was equally curious.

In the newspaper, Chen Qi's state was completely that of an extremely violent monster.

If I had known before, I should have tried to suppress him and then interrogated him.

Now, upon meeting, well, the chances are completely reversed... An put away the newspaper and looked towards the distant horizon.

As a novice instructor, to be surpassed by a disciple.

Her pressing matter was to head to the Tower of Books to participate in the Book Saint's trial.

At that moment, the captain of the Lucky Seal wearing a Seal hat came over and asked,

"Miss An, are you going to the Tower of Books to take the Book Saint's exam?"

An nodded,

"Indeed."

Captain Lucky Seal couldn't help but remark,

"That's really enviable. My daughter is also preparing to study Architecture at the White Dove University. She wants to become a Hammer Phase architect and build houses.

However, I still need to raise the university tuition for her. She is not particularly bright, and the tuition at White Dove University is astronomical. I need at least three million shell coins..."

An said softly,

"That's truly tough work, this shipping route is very dangerous."

"Yes, otherwise who would take such a dangerous job? You know, not far from this route is Ice Stone Town, a place targeted by the Black Whale Group and Hunters, a Forbidden Land where an A-rank Crack could erupt..."

Captain Lucky Seal heaved a long sigh.

"This trip will go smoothly..."

An walked a step on the deck, stood by the ship's edge, propped her hands on the railing, resting her chin on them, and gazed out at the distant sea.

Suddenly, the clouds in the distance thinned, the waves became more turbulent.

Could the legendary Ice Witch really come back to life? An looked at the huge glacier in the distance.

The legend of the Ice Witch was all about resisting terrifying shipwrecks, the monsters of the world.

If the news was not faked, the iceberg before her might contain the Ice Witch.

Soon, her mentor Rose, Qi, and the Pirate General from the Black Whale Group would unleash a large-scale war in this place.

At the same time, an unprecedented A-rank Crack would arrive here, polluting the entire Witch Sea!

As a well-traveled Mage, An's life had only ever witnessed one A-rank Crack, the 'Magic Net'.

Even a Legend is just a frail human inside an A-rank Crack.

I hope they don't run into trouble... As An was about to look away, suddenly, she heard the long roar of a wild beast in her ears, chilling her to the bone.

Beneath the surface of the faraway waves, there seemed to be a horrifyingly massive creature hidden.

Sea Monster?

An suddenly remembered the legends she'd heard since childhood:

The Great Ice Glacier is the most dangerous place in the Crack Sea, where underneath the sea lives a giant Swallowing Sea White Shark, its massive body capable of swallowing a hundred-meter giant ship in one bite.

Yet, as a crucial thoroughfare, even with the presence of the giant shark, merchant ships still navigate this route every year.

That is, until one day, a disaster occurred; a super large passenger ship carrying a thousand people suffered an accident, and bodies filled the sea area. People built a graveyard atop the not-far-off glacier.

From then on, this area was also known as the Sea Coffin.

Boom! Boom!

The noisy sound came from the ship, and the passengers hurried to the railings, looking towards the distant sea in horror.

The Lucky Seal immediately sped up, but before long, the massive creature still closed the distance.

Boom! Boom!

An lowered her head and could only see a huge shadow under the sea.

The hundred-meter-long Lucky Seal was completely enveloped in the head of the shadow.

It was like a giant underground worm, quietly waiting.

Bang!

The legendary Swallowing Sea White Shark... An's heart pounded fiercely.

In that instant, she recalled many rumors.

Legends tell, not even the Deep Sea Hunters could kill this beast,

In just thirty years, let alone humans, it made a habit of devouring ships, including up to four Legends!

The Ice Witch had severely wounded it, but since the Ice Witch couldn't dive into the deep sea, it was only a serious injury.

Bang!

Captain Lucky Seal's body trembled, and he fired a shot into the sky.

"It's the legendary sea monstrosity!! Hunters, fire!!!"

Instantly, the passengers on the ship panicked; some grabbed firearms, some jumped into the sea, others summoned giant White Doves, trying to flee.

In a split second, the giant creature from beneath the sea leapt out, mouth open wide.

An's pupils dilated, before her were bloodstained white teeth as large as walls, stretching out in front of her.

Boom!

The hundred-meter body of the ship was instantly torn apart in the jaws of the giant shark, steel and wood emitting piteous screams under the immense pressure, as if they were the final cries of many souls.

The lights on the ship flickered a few times in the darkness and then went out, like the snuffing of a candle.

In just one second, the "Lucky Seal's" fragments and the crew's blood meshed, dyeing the area red.

Wailing!

Wailing!

An's body sank to the bottom of the ocean, struggling to grasp the Magic Wand in the sea.

She tried to perform a Magic Technique to save herself, her fingers laboriously tracing the familiar Spiritual Power, but in this boundless ocean, the Spiritual Power seemed diluted by the endless saltwater.

Only the more turbulent waves and the endless pain of the sea water flooding into her body responded, dragging her down.
