He then turned around and quickly left, heading towards the coast.

...

...

"Crash!!!"

The orange flames left a fleeting, dazzling trail in the air, causing the air to slightly distort as the scorching scimitar slashed down in an instant.

"Clang!"

A clear metallic collision sound erupted, and the flames entwining the scimitar vibrated from the impact.

A sturdy fish spear forged from deep sea gold stone stood firmly beneath the scimitar.

"Now!"

With extremely rich combat experience, she keenly captured the enemy’s rigid moment caused by blocking her attack.

It was a woman with fiery red long curly hair, whose size was much smaller than the opposite Fishman Commander, but with strength difficult to distinguish between equals; she suddenly inhaled!

Her cheeks bulged high, as hot breath mixed with firelight overflowed from her mouth and nose, rising gently.

Pointing at the Elite Fishmen in front of her, Lorin opened her tightly closed mouth.

Boom——

Burning wind surged, and orange flames spewed forth from her mouth in a fan shape, engulfing the Fishman Commander before her.

However, just a moment before the flames were about to touch the fishman’s body, a extremely bright magic radiance rose from beneath the surface at a distance, streaking quickly across the air and landing on the fishman’s body.

"Buzz!"

The magic radiance transformed into a thin, translucent film adhering closely to the skin.

The flames, enough to scorch and lift scales, and char flesh, were isolated outside.

The brief attack opportunity vanished in an instant. Lorin, who was originally in a stalemate, fell to a disadvantage due to the use of her battle skill. Her scimitar lost the support of strength, and was forcefully pushed up by the fish spear below, causing her to be knocked back.

Fortunately, it was merely the impact from sheer force, without any actual injury.

Adjusting her center of gravity in midair, she did a backflip, staggered a few steps, and barely stood firm.

"Damn it."

Cursing under her breath, Lorin looked forward.

There, the Fishman Commander who had just landed ashore swung the fish spear at will, thoroughly dispersing the lingering flames around him.

His ugly fish eyes, fixated on her, were filled with ferocity and brutality.

Now, it had been several dozen minutes since everyone escaped from the Secret Realm.

Apparently, the situation on the field was not optimistic.

The Sha Hua Fishmen who attacked the docks earlier were likely just a probing vanguard.

When the ceremony arranged by "Algae Scale" Dodd came to an end, the bulk of the fishman army that had been lurking in nearby waters came ashore under their Commander’s leadership, launching a frenzied assault on the adventurers.

Lorin couldn’t determine how many Sha Hua Fishmen were currently besieging the docks, but it was evidently far beyond what the adventurers on the scene could handle.

Especially since most of the seniors, who should have been shouldering the heavy responsibility in the battle, had been significantly weakened due to the encounter in the Secret Realm.

The situation on the field was precarious.

The Fishmen continuously roared as they swam ashore, while the Priests and Spellcasters lurking below the surface kept changing positions, providing support to their comrades on shore, just as she had experienced earlier.

Even worse, unlike the previous Sha Hua Fishmen communities she had seen, these fishmen clearly had a detailed and meticulous battle plan and erupted with extraordinary destructive power under the command of the present Commander.

Even facing weakened adventurers, they showed no carelessness.

A significant number of Sha Hua Fishmen, who could have easily gone ashore, instead remained in the sea, attacking the ships docked at the pier.

This undoubtedly struck the adventurers’ Achilles’ heel.

Whether due to their functionality as means of transportation or as a symbol of the adventurer team’s identity, the importance of ships was something any adventurer active in the Southern Islands was all too aware of.

Belonging to different teams, with little to no prior cooperation experience and no trust to speak of, they had united temporarily due to the common enemy and danger.

Seeing their ships being attacked by fishmen, the adventurers, who had barely constructed a defense line on the shore, instantly fell apart.

By now, the adventurers on the coast had been fragmented into small groups each centered around their own ship by the fishman’s siege, struggling for self-preservation, let alone reorganizing forces to launch a counterattack against the Sha Hua Fishmen.

The Sword of Vengeance was no exception.

But because the core members left at the port were numerous, and among them, Lorin, Sasha, and Sarisa had survived until the end of the Secret Realm thanks to Xia Nan, without being weakened by death therein.

This made them appear less wretched than other teams.

Currently, several team members were fiercely entangled on the deck with a strong Shark Beast that leapt onto the ship from the side, vaguely gaining the upper hand.

Realizing that if the current situation continued, adventurers fighting separately would be breached one by one by the Sha Hua Fishmen.

Still having strength left under the fishman’s assault, Captain Lorin intended to find a breakthrough point using her unhindered state, unweakened by the Secret Realm.

However, just as she jumped off the deck, she was noticed by the Fishman Commander leading the entire squad, who personally came to the battlefield to hold her at bay.

The surrounding fishmen also showed a sign of encircling and closing in.

"What other ways, where is the breakthrough point?"

Lorin’s mind raced, thinking of a way to break the stalemate.
