Suddenly, the Hydra Dragon monster, an Ascendant Beast type, emerged from the ocean's surface, creating massive waves that rocked the warship. The seven heads of the dragon gazed towards the ship with glowing red eyes, while its large, scaled body lifted massive waves of water.
"Alert! Hydra Dragon monster, Ascendant Beast type!" one of the crew members shouted, while others ran for cover.
Charlotte and the Valkyries immediately prepared to face the ferocious monster. They knew that this monster was far more dangerous than the Leviathan Pureborn type they had previously defeated. The Hydra Dragon monster launched its first attack, with its seven heads striking towards the ship with incredible force. One of the crew members couldn't dodge in time and was killed instantly by the monster's attack.
"The battle isn't over yet!" Charlotte shouted, raising her sword and launching an attack towards the Hydra Dragon monster.
The other Valkyries also joined the battle, using their strength and abilities to face the ferocious monster. However, the Hydra Dragon monster was not easy to defeat, with its incredible regenerative abilities and massive strength.
The battle between Charlotte and the Valkyries against the Hydra Dragon monster was intense and tense. The warship rocked violently due to the monster's attacks, while the other crew members tried to stay safe and assist the Valkyries in the battle.
"How can we defeat this monster?" one of the Valkyries shouted, facing the Hydra Dragon monster's attack.
"We need to work together and use our strength effectively!" Charlotte replied, launching an attack towards the Hydra Dragon monster.
As Charlotte launched her attack, she noticed that the monster's movements were not what she expected from a Hydra Dragon Ascendant Beast type. There was something unusual about the way the monster moved, something that made Charlotte feel uncertain about the monster's identity.
Suddenly, as the monster counterattacked with one of its heads, Charlotte noticed unique markings on the monster's scales that she had never seen before on a Hydra Dragon Ascendant Beast type. She immediately stopped her attack and observed the monster more closely.
"What?! This isn't a Hydra Dragon Ascendant Beast!" Charlotte exclaimed in surprise, while examining the monster more closely. "This is a Hydra Dragon Charybdis type! Maybe it's just a young one, but it's still very dangerous!"
The other Valkyries were also shocked by Charlotte's identification. They knew that the Hydra Dragon Charybdis type was one of the most dangerous monsters in the ocean, with the ability to create powerful whirlpools and destroy large ships.
"We need to be more careful!" Charlotte shouted, while preparing herself to face the monster's attack. "We don't know what this monster is capable of, but we need to be ready for anything!"
Charlotte unsheathed her sword and charged towards the Hydra Dragon Charybdis, while trying to protect her teammates and the crew from the monster's attack. Unbeknownst to her, her teammates and the crew were trying to secure the Divine Power technology to prevent it from falling into the ocean.
Suddenly, Charlotte remembered the magical stone she possessed, a fragment of the Core of Ice or Ice Crystal belonging to the Sovereign of Ice, which was defeated by humanity about 26 years ago when it froze the state of California in North America. She began to rummage through her pocket and pulled out the magical stone.
26 years ago, the powerful and mysterious Sovereign of Ice had frozen the state of California in North America with its incredible ice powers. Major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco were turned into ice, and millions of people were trapped in the deadly ice storm. The Sovereign of Ice, known for its incredible ice powers, had used its powers to freeze the entire region, leaving humanity helpless.
However, after a long and intense battle, humanity finally managed to defeat the Sovereign of Ice and destroy its ice powers. During the battle, the Ice Crystal, which was the source of the Sovereign's powers, was taken and shattered into several pieces. One of the pieces was now in Charlotte's possession, and she had used the stone's powers to freeze the ocean water and protect her teammates from the Hydra Dragon Charybdis.
The event 26 years ago was still remembered by many as one of the greatest disasters in human history, and the powers of the Sovereign of Ice were still a legend feared by many. Charlotte, who possessed the Ice Crystal fragment, didn't know that the powers would become crucial in the battle she was facing now.
"If I could master the full powers of the Sovereign of Ice... I could definitely defeat this monster and protect everyone I care about," Charlotte thought to herself, while gazing at the Ice Crystal fragment in her hand. "I won't let this monster destroy what I'm protecting. I'll use this power to defeat the enemy."
With the ice powers contained in the magical stone, Charlotte began to freeze the water around the Hydra Dragon Charybdis monster. The ice that formed began to spread throughout the area, limiting the monster's movement and giving her teammates and the crew a chance to escape. Her teammates and the crew successfully secured the Divine Power technology and began to distance themselves from the monster.
Charlotte continued to use the ice powers from the Ice Crystal to limit the monster's movement, giving her teammates time to prepare for the next situation. The Hydra Dragon Charybdis monster roared so loudly that it could be heard around the Izu Islands, causing the ocean waves to become larger and more turbulent. The ship they were on was rocked violently, with the wooden hull creaking and swaying due to the monster's strength.
The sea wind blew fiercely, carrying the sound of the monster's roar that was deafening. Around the ship, the ocean became increasingly turbulent, with large waves crashing against the ship and causing seawater to splash upwards. The sky above grew darker, with black clouds gathering and lightning beginning to strike.
The worsening weather conditions made it even more challenging for Charlotte and her teammates to face the Hydra Dragon Charybdis monster. One of Charlotte's teammates fell into the ocean when the monster attacked the ship. He struggled to swim back to the ship, but the large waves and the monster's strength made it difficult for him to move.
He began to feel exhausted and sank into the ocean, trying to grab onto something, but there was nothing for him to hold onto. At that moment, he felt that his life would end in the ferocious ocean. However, thanks to the powers of the magical stone used by Charlotte, the seawater around the ship began to freeze, forming a thick layer of ice.
The teammate who was sinking suddenly felt something hard and cold beneath him. He looked down and saw that the seawater had frozen, and he could stand on the ice layer. With his remaining strength, he tried to stand up and walk on the ice layer, and he finally managed to climb back onto the ship.
He was extremely exhausted and soaked, but he survived thanks to Charlotte's magical stone powers. He was certainly grateful to Charlotte, but survival was now the top priority. With the ice powers still contained in the magical stone, Charlotte continued to freeze the seawater around the ship, preventing it from sinking and protecting the valuable Divine Power technology.
However, she began to feel extreme fatigue due to the magical stone's powers requiring life energy from the user.
"Ah, I can't do this anymore... I feel like I don't have any energy left," Charlotte thought to herself, while continuing to freeze the seawater around the ship. "The powers of this magical stone are immense, but they're also very taxing to use. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up…"
Charlotte felt like her body was weakening, her breathing was becoming heavier, and her vision was starting to blur. She knew she had to continue using the magical stone's powers to protect the ship and the Divine Power technology, but she didn't know how much longer she could hold on.
"I have to keep going... I can't give up now," Charlotte thought, biting her lip and continuing to freeze the seawater. "I have to protect everyone... I can't let them get hurt."
With a strong determination, Charlotte continued to use the magical stone's powers, despite her body weakening.
The longer Charlotte used the magical stone's powers, the more energy she expended. She began to feel tired and exhausted, but she couldn't stop using the powers because the safety of her teammates and the Divine Power technology still depended on her. Charlotte had to keep fighting to protect everyone, even though she was running out of energy herself.
Charlotte planted her sword in the ground as she began to feel exhausted, her body weakening due to the magical stone's powers draining her life energy. Her stamina was running out, and she couldn't use the powers to freeze the seawater anymore. Luckily, Liliana was by her side and immediately helped Charlotte by attacking the monster from the front.
With swift and accurate movements, Liliana attacked the Hydra Dragon Charybdis monster with her sword, giving Charlotte a chance to recover.
"Charlotte, I'm here! I'll help as much as I can!" Liliana shouted, continuing to attack the monster.
Charlotte could only nod weakly, her breathing labored due to exhaustion. "Lili... I'm leaving it to you for now... I can't do it anymore..."
"Don't worry, I'll protect you!" Liliana replied confidently, continuing to attack the Hydra Dragon Charybdis monster. "I won't leave you alone!"
Liliana, who was loyal to Charlotte, would protect her with determination, ensuring the safety of Charlotte and the crew who had been saved from drowning in the ocean. With incredible bravery and strength, Liliana continued to attack the monster, giving Charlotte time to recover and gather energy to continue the battle.
