It was already an incredible feat to have sailed the ship to this point, let alone to face such enormous waves.

"Everyone, get ready! Lower the sail quickly, and hold on to anything you can! Don't get swept away by the waves!" Anos shouted once more.

The soldiers behind him were prepared for the incoming waves, their expressions were focused and serious.

The towering waves stood at least thirty meters high. Although their ship was relatively large, a wave of this size could easily shatter it with just one blow.

In a panic, the crew scrambled up the mast to cut the ropes holding the sails. As the massive wave drew closer, the anxiety on their faces became more pronounced.

Meanwhile, the navigator at the wheel, steering the rudder, was completely bewildered. It was his first time encountering such a monstrous wave, and he couldn't understand why his king insisted on riding it head-on.

Anos stood alone at the front of the deck, summoning the demon sword Muramasa from his system space. His eyes remained fixed on the approaching wave.

He paid no attention to the anxious crew behind him and didn't even hear Suzu's frantic shouting.

As the wave was about to crash into the Tempest, Anos bellowed, "Muramasa, the cursed blade, awaken and devour all who stand in our path!"

In an instant, faster than the eye could follow, the demon sword Muramasa was unsheathed. A massive arc of light slashed through the wave, cleaving it in two.

The crew was left utterly dumbfounded, their jaws practically hitting the deck in disbelief.

The wave had been split down the middle, and the force of the strike had carved a deep gap into the sea for miles ahead.

The Tempest sailed through the parted wave unharmed, though the split waters began to surge back together, causing the ship to shake violently.

Fortunately, after a few tense moments, the ship finally stabilized.

Watching the huge wave slowly recede, the entire crew aboard the Tempest ship began to relax and collapsed onto the deck, one by one, with no intention of getting back up.

Even the navigator at the wheel felt as if half of his life had drained awaat that moment.

However, the soldiers who followed, after witnessing Anos' powerful slash, had stars in their eyes, almost ready to burst out.

This was the first time Anos had used a Devouring Slash, and even he didn't expect to display such overwhelming power.

As the sword cleaved through the waves, even he was taken aback.

"Your Majesty, you're incredible! I thought I was done for!" Suzu was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, the fear in her eyes all too apparent.

"Alright, it's fine," Anos said calmly. "But after today, you need to find me a better navigator. We can't let someone third-rate guide us anymore. Who knows what disasters might happen in the future?"

Anos sighed. The navigator aboard the Tempest was simply too inadequate.

"Your Majesty, you're truly amazing..."

"Indeed, Your Majesty is extraordinary..."

Listening to the praises of the soldiers behind him, Anos shouted helplessly, "Stop flattering me and make sure no one is injured! Check if everyone on the ship is accounted for!"
