LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 401: Anton's Sword_2
In the space filled with dust and smoke, Makarov let out a wretched growl.
He desperately clung to the Bone Horns, using all his strength to slam himself and Antonio into the inner wall on one side of the cabin.
Bang!
The hull broke open, and seawater poured in. At the crucial moment, Makarov dragged Antonio into the sea, seemingly planning to change the battlefield to the domain he was familiar with.
In the dim, icy seabed, the eyes of the giant fishman glowed with malicious intent.
"Now that we are here, let's see how you can act fierce!"
As a Diver, after coming into contact with the seawater, it was as though he had gained some sort of enhancement. His strength increased instantly, allowing him to take the upper hand and drag Antonio's bull head down into the deeper seabed.
Gurgle gurgle...
Bubbles came out of Antonio's mouth as he struggled to twist his body, but he could never break free from Makarov's embrace. The other was determined to drag him to the bottom of the sea and drown him alive!
The Circus members on the first deck of the Pearl Barmogo watched their companion fight the giant fishman below, the battle raging, but they did not intervene... Antonio had told them before he acted that he wanted to complete this slaughter on his own.
It was also a test of his true strengths after he swallowed the Blood Diamond and suppressed the "Super A Level Mysterious Object: Desecrated Holy Sword" completely.
The only one who was paying close attention to the actual situation of the battle was Chen Lun.
He knew Antonio was in a critical situation through the "Pale Mark" he had planted on it, but Chen Lun didn't rush to provide assistance, believing Antonio could handle the trouble himself.
Boom!
All of a sudden, Antonio forcefully stomped on Makarov's chest with his forehoof. The tremendous impact stirred up countless bubbles, and a ripple-like wave of water diffused outwards. Makarov's fish eyes bulged out; the blow nearly knocked him out.
The powerful impact forced the two opponents apart.
Gasping for breath, Antonio opened his mouth, and his forehoof transformed into a human-like arm. His fingers reached into his mouth, and incredibly, he drew out a Broad Blade Sword radiating a soft black and red glow.
The sword, swirling with a deep, dim luster, was raised high and then promptly swung down at Makarov!
Whirr!!
In the dark depths of the sea, a broad dark red sword glow suddenly appeared, as if a curtain loomed over the giant fishman—
Zzzz!
A high-frequency tremor sounded, and in an instant, Makarov split in two.
An incredulous and ferocious expression was still etched on his smooth, ugly fish head.
'Well done, Antonio.'
Chen Lun was slowly walking down the corridor with a slight smile on his face.

"The... the monster's dead, isn't it?"
A lady of high society wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, anxiously asked while looking at the gaping hole in the floor of the cabin.
"Should be dead... along with that cow."
Another gentleman answered uncertainly.
However, in the next second, they all saw a figure, covered in black and white spots, leap back up into the cabin.
It was Antonio.
"It's... it's not dead!"
"Don't be scared, it seems like it won't harm us!"
The ladies and gentlemen jumped in fright.
But Antonio's benign appearance, compared to Makarov's, made them more accepting.
The cow was drenched, but it seemed not to care at all. It joyfully waggled its head, humming a tune as it made its way to its companions.
"Antonio got him... that guy even tried to drag me into the sea and drown me. What a bad guy!"
"Beautifully done! Antonio!"
Jack walked forward with a smile, taking out a dry towel to wipe Antonio down.
The rest of the Circus leaders also wore smiles on their faces. As the Leader had said, Antonio had undergone a transformation, and now his strength had reached the point where he could take down a Transcendent of Sequence Five.
Tap tap...
Then, in the darkness of the broken cabin lighting, leisurely footsteps were heard.
The ladies and gentlemen looked over uneasily, fearful of another terrifying approach.
Yet, it turned out to be a gentleman in a black hat that appeared before them.
"Mr. Jack!"
"Leader!"
The Circus members greeted Chen Lun.
Chen Lun nodded slightly, came over, and gently patted Antonio on the forehead, praising:
"Well done."
Antonio happily shook its head.
Chen Lun then turned to the frightened passengers, calmly stating:
"Ladies and gentlemen, there's no need to panic. I am Father Jack Spett from the Generous Council, one of the Seven Righteous God Churches… The storm that the Pearl Barmogo encountered was actually the work of a malicious Cult Organization, attempting to plunder the ship, but they have now been exterminated by me and my subordinates."
"So it was a Priest from the Righteous God Church!"
"No wonder that cow could talk... it must be an animal blessed by the Gods!"
"Thank you! Father Jack!"
"I express my deepest respects for your Assistance. Thank you so much!"
The ladies and gentlemen were finally relieved, quickly steadied themselves, and bowed to Chen Lun and the Circus members.
The name of the Righteous God Church was sometimes so useful; it instantly dispelled the panic and insecurity in their hearts. While the Father Jack before them seemed young, his composed demeanor was very reassuring, calming the passengers considerably.
Several of them, tearfully grateful, stated that once the ship docked, they would definitely make donations to the chapel of the Generous Council to express their thanks.
