Chapter 160: Leon and the Dragon vs. the Sea Monster
High in the sky, Lyon on Balerion's back whispered softly, with an interested smile on his face:
"I didn't expect that this sea monster named 'Deep Sea Flute Artist' is not dead? Euron, how many tricks do you have that I haven't seen yet?"
On the sea, on the flagship of the United Fleet, all the lords gathered on the deck, looking at the sea monsters around the Iron Islands. Asha explained with a serious face:
"My uncle, Euron Greyjoy, did not return on the Silence that day, but rode on the back of a sea monster."
As she spoke, Asha pointed at the largest squid-shaped sea monster in the distance.
I saw a shocking huge gap on the sea monster's head, and molten blood spurted out from the gap uncontrollably. The blood dripped onto the sea surface and immediately evaporated into dark smoke.
"Damn it! How can we get close to the Iron Islands with a sea monster of this size guarding them?"
"There is no way we can defeat this monster."
"We can only wait for Commander-in-Chief Leon and his dragon to take action."
The lords were talking about it, and the sailors on the ship could not help but look at the group of sea monsters near the Iron Islands in fear. If the captains had not ordered to wait, they would probably have jumped into the sea to survive.
However, Lyon did not let his fleet wait for long. He rode on a giant dragon and swooped directly towards the group of sea monsters. The Ryukyu bow in his hand fired black magic arrows continuously like rain.
These arrows were collected from the warehouses of the Dreadfort and Winterfell. They are said to be magical arrows that the Children of the Forest once shot but never retrieved.
Legend has it that each arrow contains powerful magical power, enough to penetrate the hardest human armor and rock castles.
For thousands of years, humans have only been able to pick up a few of these arrows by chance, so each one is extremely precious. However, although these arrows are priceless in themselves, once they are blessed by the Liuxing bow in Lyon's hand, their number becomes as numerous as the hairs on a cow.
Above the sea, thanks to Euron's methods, the deep-sea flute artist was revived again, and at this moment its body had expanded to several times its original size.
Its mouthparts were pointed in the direction of Leon, and it let out a strange and bizarre long howl, like some kind of sonic attack.
Facing the dense arrows shot by Lyon, it did not dodge or avoid, as if these arrows were insignificant in its eyes and could not cause any substantial harm to it.
This was indeed the case. After the sea monster let out a long roar, when the sound waves reached the ears of everyone in the combined fleet, many people fell to the ground and wailed.
The arrows shot by Leon in mid-air seemed to hit an invisible barrier constructed by sound waves, and bounced off one after another without causing any harm to the sea monster.
However, in the heart of this deep-sea artist, he was only afraid of the halberd in Lyon's hand, because it was that halberd that had dealt him a fatal blow in the past.
As for the dragon that Leon rode, the sea monster simply disdained it. In its long years, it had seen countless creatures of the same level as the dragon. Now, it was in its own sea, full of confidence. Although the dragon could rule the sky, it could hardly pose any threat to it in this ocean.
So, when Leon found that his Ryusei was rarely effective, he gave a deep command to Bellerion under his crotch:
"Dragon Flame!"
Balerion immediately dived down so that the sea monster was within the range of his dragon flame, and suddenly spewed out a mouthful of dark golden dragon flame mixed with the smell of sulfur.
However, this dragon flame, which could melt even the strongest rocks in the Dreadfort, could not cause any harm to the sea monster.
To be precise, the sea monster, which is also covered in molten lava and hot blood, has a very high resistance to the fire element. Even if it is damaged by dragon flames, it will be instantly healed by sea water.
The next moment, the sea monster waved its tentacles to lash the dragon violently. It gave up using its mouthparts to spread sonic attacks and instead began to continuously spit out streams of hot ink, the temperature of which seemed to be enough to melt the hard dragon scales.
In the distance, after Lyon attacked the sea monster, the people on the joint fleet were no longer disturbed by the sound waves, and they quickly stood up to watch the battle.
At this moment, Sir Wyman, who was leading the White Harbor fleet to sea, had lost all his fighting spirit on his face, replaced by deep fear.
"No wonder the Greyjoy family was able to conquer large tracts of land in the North and the Riverlands. The ferocious sea monster on their family emblem is so majestic and powerful that even the legendary dragon would be in awe."
"Fortunately, the sea monster cannot escape from the ocean. If it could go onto land, I think the seven countries would have been unified long ago."
Another lord also expressed his own opinion.
"This battle cannot be fought. I think we should set sail back to the harbor while Commander-in-Chief Lyon is holding off the sea monster. If it's too late, if Commander-in-Chief Lyon is defeated, I'm afraid no one will be able to escape."
Asha also had a look of despair on her face:
"Are the Iron Islands, my homeland, finally going to be ruled by my cruel uncle Euron?"
Just as everyone was in dejection and even a few ships on the edge of the fleet had quietly returned, Lyanna Mormont stepped forward, jumped onto a wooden barrel, and loudly scolded the terrified lords:
"Don't disrupt the morale of the army! Commander-in-Chief Lyon is invincible!"
"Lyanna! You can see that a dragon is no match for a sea monster on the sea!"
"Yes, Lyanna, don't worry, even if you people from Bear Island want to move your families to the North, we will support you."
However, Lyanna was disgusted by the ugly faces of these lords.
She drew the dagger from her waist without hesitation and gave orders to the lords:
"If you are afraid of death, get out of here! Drive the boat to the sea monster and we, the warriors of Bear Island, will go in ourselves! We cannot let Commander-in-Chief Lyon fight alone!"
Hearing Lyanna's words, the Bear Island warriors who had joined the Night's Watch all responded with a fierce roar.
However, at this moment, an extremely huge and jaw-dropping tentacle suddenly fell from the sky, as if to tear the whole world apart!
This sudden change shocked everyone present. They all raised their heads at the same time and stared at the mysterious and terrifying tentacle.
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, it turned out that the battle in the distance had reached a fever pitch.
Although this dragon is only one-tenth the size of the giant sea monster, the majesty and dominance it exudes are no less.
Unfortunately, the powerful dragon was unable to escape the clutches of the tentacles and was tightly entangled and unable to get away. After suffering such a fierce attack, the dragon became more and more violent and angry. It roared, exuding a fiery breath, and then used all its strength to rush towards the higher sky.
