Fang Ka noticed Wangzai Little Buns suddenly showing a smile that made him a bit uncomfortable and immediately reminded, "It's time to hit the road."

"I believe you can prove your potential to me."

Wangzai Little Buns immediately clenched her fist, "I will, Mage Fang Ka!"

Then she sneaked a glance at Fang Ka, flapped her wings, and flew toward the distant entrance.

Upon reaching the entrance, it opened shortly after, and Wangzai Little Buns dashed out immediately.

After leaving Kain Island, Wangzai Little Buns glanced at the black mist behind her, which had returned to its original state, then quickly flew eastward.

...

A ship sailed on the sea, with many Sea Elves aboard.

They noticed that there had been no news from the frontline island for a long time, so they arranged for someone to investigate.

The Sea Race can naturally operate underwater, but such movement is scattered and not as fast as using ships equipped with 'Hydraulic Surge' Magic Array Carriers.

Moreover, it's easier to transport prisoners after capturing the enemy.

Considering that the frontline was mostly about wrestling for island control rather than underwater territories, they prefer using ships for operations.

Over time, the four major Sea King races at the frontline became accustomed to using ships, rarely swimming across from the sea.

Of course, this was limited to areas outside the main battlefield. On the main battlefield, the Knights and Mages' destructive power was so strong that almost no islands were left, having been completely destroyed.

Fights on the main battlefield mostly took place in the sea and air.

However, the main battlefield had nothing to do with them; not even secondary battlefields were involved, as theirs couldn't even be considered a regular battlefield, just a marginal one.

In the past, rare were the times when one side was annihilated completely on their frontline skirmishes.

Rare, yet not impossible, thus they were here to check if the island was under Gana's control.

If it was under Gana's control, it would confirm total annihilation during the previous skirmish.

Then, they wouldn't need to approach the island; they could turn the ship around and report back immediately.

Someone else would handle it, report upward, and prepare for the next island conflict, sparing them the worry.

When their ship neared the island, they unexpectedly found it covered in corpses. Even from a distance, they could smell the scent of blood carried by the sea breeze.

"What is this?" A Middle Tier Knight leading the investigation was full of disbelief.

They came to investigate, not to fight.

So there were only a dozen of them in total.

Besides the Middle Tier Knight, the rest were merely Low Tier Knights.

"Could... could it be mutual destruction?" a Low Tier Knight cautiously inquired.

The Sea Elf Middle Tier Knight looked annoyedly at the Low Tier Knight and scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting? Can't you use your brain? How could mutual destruction leave not a single survivor? Have you ever heard of such coincidence?"

Another Low Tier Knight asked, "Should we enter the island to check things out then?"

Despite asking, his tone was clearly reluctant.

Because no one knew what dangers might lurk on this now seemingly lifeless island.

"We have to go… or we'll have no explanation back home. If we report everyone here dead and return immediately, we might as well…" This Middle Tier Knight's eyes turned cold, bumping into the Low Tier Knight who spoke.

"Since you suggested checking the island, you'll go up and see what's going on, swim over right away, we'll wait here on the boat."

Clearly, the Middle Tier Knight was not negotiating but giving an irrefutable order.

Upon hearing this command, the speaking Low Tier Knight wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to say something unnecessary?

"Now, immediately, go; I don't want to repeat myself."

Seeing the pale-faced Low Tier Knight remain motionless, the Middle Tier Knight immediately gripped his weapon, eyes full of danger.

At this point, the Low Tier Knight had no choice; refusing to go might mean immediate death.

Going over could at least offer a slim chance of seeing what dangers awaited.

Making the wise choice, he jumped into the sea and swam towards the island.

Watching the Low Tier Knight swim towards the island, the Middle Tier Knight relaxed a bit and released his grip from his weapon.

The other Low Tier Knights beside him also sighed slightly, grateful for not speaking out earlier.

Just as that Low Tier Knight set foot on the island, covering a few dozen meters.

Everyone on the ship involuntarily turned their gaze toward the west.

Because within their perception range, a mighty aura was approaching rapidly.

This energy was far stronger and approached with incredible speed, closing in on them at an unbelievable pace.

As they gazed, it seemed a white bolt of lightning was fast approaching from the horizon.

Before long, the white lightning reached them; just as they drew their weapons, the Middle Tier Knight and a Low Tier Knight's heads had already fallen.

Followed by flashes of cold light; in a blink, no life was left on the ship.

The arrival revealed her form, Wangzai Little Buns, having reached her ultimate speed.

Wangzai Little Buns slightly turned her head, directing her gaze toward the Earth-tier Knight who had already landed on the island.

The Low Tier Knight also noticed the situation aboard and locked eyes momentarily with Wangzai Little Buns, then started trembling uncontrollably, shaking like a sieve.

"Were these Sea Elves here to scout the island?" Wangzai Little Buns, having been briefed by Fang Ka about the Sea Elves and Gana Race, instantly deduced the Sea Elf Knights' origin.

With a slight movement of her wings, she instantly reached the island, drew two short blades, and effortlessly slashed the throat of the Low Tier Sea Elf Knight who had landed on the island.

"Looks like I came at the perfect time."

"I wonder how often these corpses reset."

Wangzai Little Buns gazed at the island covered with corpses, uncontrollably reminiscing about her days performing dissections under the guidance of her anatomy teacher.
