CHAPTER 415 - A New Hero.

A low hum thrummed across the water's surface. The tension in the air shifted—not from rage, but precision. 

The second wave had arrived.

From the bloody mist and corpse-strewn sea, five figures emerged, stepping across hardened platforms of water magic. 

Each footstep caused ripples to dance, echoing their dominance across the battlefield.

Four of them were women, tall, regal, and cloaked in armor that shimmered with embedded sea crystals. 

Each bore a distinct weapon: a chained anchor, a coral glaive, twin daggers pulsing with poison, and a staff carved from abyssal bone. 

Their eyes burned not with vengeance, but resolve.

But it was the fifth who drew Alex's gaze.

He was calm.

A man.

Yet unlike any Alex had seen among the sea people.

His frame was lean but powerful, his long seafoam-green hair tied back in a warrior's knot.
