Chapter 819: The Lord of the Calamity Sea
Splash!
Lindsey heaved the fishing rod with all his might, but what he reeled in was nothing but a fleeting splash of water.
The end of the Tsunami Shooter's fishing rod was empty, with only a bare hook, and there was no sign of the Calamity Fish King!
"The Calamity Environment Chest can drop the Phantom Blade."
"So, is the Fish King in this environment a sea ghost? Surely there isn't a Flying Dutchman lurking beneath the waves?"
For a moment, Lindsey felt something was amiss.
He switched his magic patterns, creating distance while simultaneously opening his map.
The result matched his suspicions.
Near the spot where he had just fished, there was indeed a red dot.
Moreover, this red marker was different from a typical unit identifier.
The edges of this red marking had a very noticeable dematerialization phenomenon, as if the map skill couldn't discern its actual size.
Pat!
Lindsey felt a subtle sensation beneath his feet.
He looked down and immediately realized the change—the seawater.
After he lifted the rod, the surface of the Starry Sea began to rise, rapidly increasing from half a meter to a height that now submerged his thighs!
Lindsey, standing on the turbulent waves, didn't notice this at first.
Across from Lindsey, the Star Sea Turtle was moving its massive body, charging towards him.
It was as if something worth fighting was right before his eyes.
"..."
"I can't see a thing."
Lindsey blinked hard.
In this situation, it was impossible not to observe the enemy.
So, he replaced a combat module with a Puzzle Module. A dazzling white light appeared where he had just fished.
Ocean Phantom Overlord—An immortal evil spirit trapped in a cursed sea, possessing the terrifying power to manipulate the ocean and curses.
"Heh, just as I thought, it's a ghost."
Lindsey raised an eyebrow.
The curse aura on the Ocean Phantom Overlord made the Star Sea Turtle mistake it for the culprit of its curse, hence the direct projection of hostility.
This newly appeared phantom's initial target was Lindsey.
However, when a Seventh Stage Beast charged towards him with hostility, the Ocean Phantom Overlord's hostility naturally prioritized the Star Sea Turtle first.
"That's good."
"Saves me the trouble of luring them into mutual hostility."
Lindsey was pleased and quickly created distance.
Regardless of the Ocean Phantom Overlord's abilities, he had to stay out of the Star Sea Turtle's Time Stasis Field range.
When Lindsey reached a safe distance, the clue marker's tracking allowed the Hunting Journal to function normally, recording the new enemy's information.
Ocean Phantom Overlord
Phantom - Awakened Seventh Stage

"..."
"Is this considered the Fish King?"
Lindsey was about to ponder the identity of the Sea Phantom Overlord, but upon noticing the manipulation of the ocean and curse attributes, he realized, "The rising seawater must have been summoned by this guy."
"A curse!"
Understanding the problem, Lindsey immediately dragged the Tsunami Archer into his equipment panel.
All other attributes were unimportant.
What he needed now was the Tsunami Archer's ability to stand directly on the seawater. Otherwise, being submerged in the water summoned by this Seventh Stage phantom, who knew what kind of sinister tricks he might encounter!
"Ugh—"
At this moment, the Star Sea Turtle's long cry echoed from afar.
Lindsey observed the battlefield.
The Time Stasis Field was indeed tyrannical.
Even the Seventh Stage Sea Phantom Overlord was affected by this move, its reactions becoming extremely slow.
However, the problem was that the Star Sea Turtle seemed unable to inflict damage on its opponent.
The nature of the beast prevented it from having trained techniques.
Therefore, the abilities possessed by the Star Sea Turtle were time domain manipulation and an incredibly sturdy physical body enhanced by Primordial Life Force! The former's temporal power had no effect on phantoms, which were immortal; the latter's physical strength made it impossible even to touch the phantom.
After a trampling sound, the ominous aura in the seawater remained unchanged.
A rumbling sound echoed.
At this moment, the rising seawater gathered into a massive blue-black water blade, and the ominous curse aura almost became substantial.
Within the Time Stasis Field, this water blade slowly descended.
"Wuu—"
The Star Sea Turtle's advantage still existed.
It twisted and dodged this attack.
But when it tried to continue the offense, it found itself unable to move.
The surrounding seawater seemed to have a self-awareness, binding the Star Sea Turtle's limbs within the ocean.
A second blue-black water blade, emanating an ominous aura.
As the Star Sea Turtle struggled, this blade struck it head-on.
Boom—
The enormous water blade exploded, turning into a torrential rain showering down on all sides.
The turbulent ocean was now under a downpour of black rain.
Even Lindsey, who was at a sufficient distance, was hit by numerous black raindrops!
"Huh?"
"This is not right!"
Lindsey sensed the ominous aura above.
He immediately retreated, quickly taking out a few objects and forming a wall in front of him, blocking this rain with an extremely wide coverage.
Lindsey glanced at the rain shower.
The clues revealed the problem with the water.
[Cursed Raindrops—Raindrops carrying a curse of despair and sadness. Upon contact with a living being, the soul of the contactor will be subjected to intense torment, while all attributes are permanently reduced.]
"..."
"Isn't this the Annihilation Blade?!"
Lindsey himself had a weapon with similar attributes, so he was well aware of how exaggeratedly dangerous this item was.
But when the rain shower ended and he continued to observe the battlefield.
A scene that was both frustrating and astonishing unfolded.

A scene that was both frustrating and astonishing unfolded.
The two Seventh Stage beasts couldn't do anything to each other.
The terrifying battle on the ocean continued, with only Lindsey still standing on the battlefield.
