"Phantom Rebirth: The Last White Raven’s Path to the Ultimate Assassin"

Chapter 315: Forging the Seawraith

The air was crisp on Raven Island, the scent of salt and steel mixing as the waves crashed against the docks. The kingdom was growing—new warriors, new commanders, new fleets—but Seraphis knew that if they were to rule the seas, they needed something unparalleled.

Something that would turn the tides of battle.

Something that would strike terror into the hearts of their enemies.

She stood in her private chamber, overlooking the island’s vast shores, a blueprint spread before her across a polished stone table. Ink glistened in the dim candlelight as she etched out the final designs, her silver eyes gleaming with a vision that would soon become reality.

This was no ordinary ship.

This was the Seawraith—a vessel designed for absolute dominance over the seas.

A Vision of Supremacy

The Seawraith was not merely a warship.

It was a weapon of legend, crafted to instill fear in the mythical seas and to ensure the supremacy of the Raven Fleet.

She traced her fingers over the elongated hull, noting the enchantments woven into its very structure. Timber from the Evernight Forest, imbued with sea magic, made it not only resistant to the ocean’s fury but graceful upon the waves.

At 200 feet long and 50 feet wide, the ship would be an unstoppable juggernaut, yet its streamlined frame ensured it could cut through even the most violent storms with ease.

But it wasn’t just size that made the Seawraith formidable.

It was alive with magic.

A Hull Woven with Sorcery

The deep midnight-blue hull, marked with shimmering silver runes, was designed for more than intimidation.

These runes, etched by master enchanters, would provide:

1. Stealth and Concealment – The Seawraith would vanish beneath the night sky, its magic masking it from prying eyes.

2. Reinforced Defense – The hull’s arcane layering would absorb magical attacks, dissipating energy before it could do harm.

3. Speed on the Waters – Even without wind, the ship’s enchanted keel would glide effortlessly, using magic to manipulate currents.

At the prow, a dragon-shaped figurehead had been carved—a fierce, open-mouthed beast whose serpentine fangs jutted forward like a blade, designed to cleave waves in half. Its crystal eyes pulsed with latent power, a warning to any who dared challenge the vessel’s might.

The Heart of the Beast

Seraphis shifted her attention to the Seawraith’s deck, balancing offensive power and maneuverability to ensure its crew of 150 warriors could function at peak efficiency.

The central command platform stood above the main deck, an elaborate structure where:

• A navigator’s wheel made of obsidian and enchanted bone ensured flawless steering.

• Navigational astrolabes, ancient and precise, adjusted course using celestial readings and arcane charts.

• Spellcasters—masters of wind and storm—held strategic positions, ready to conjure tempests or weave protective barriers in times of peril.

Behind the command center, at the stern, massive ballistae rested—each capable of launching enchanted harpoons that could pierce even the toughest ship hulls from vast distances.

And at the bow?

Three arcane catapults, loaded with runed projectiles, ready to rain destruction upon enemy fleets.

Wings of the Phantom Ship

What truly set the Seawraith apart from any other ship were its sails.

Not ordinary cloth, but woven from gossamer threads, these enchanted sails possessed:

• Unrivaled wind-catching capabilities, ensuring movement even in still waters.

• The ability to shift formations, adapting to combat situations by switching from standard to vortex mode—a configuration that granted the ship a temporary burst of unparalleled speed and agility.

• An anti-magic barrier, shielding the vessel from aerial sorcery meant to disable or slow it.

These sails were alive with power, making the Seawraith a spectral entity on the waters.

The Armory Below

Beneath the deck lay the Seawraith’s true strength—its armory.

Lined with enchanted weapons, it housed:

• Forged steel swords, engraved with elemental runes.

• Crossbows with spectral bolts, capable of piercing ghosts, illusions, and magical defenses.

• Relic artifacts, each imbued with ancient powers for specific encounters against the unknown horrors of the deep.

Skilled blacksmiths and enchanters would work tirelessly to upgrade, modify, and adapt the ship’s arsenal to counteract new threats.

The Seawraith was not just prepared for war—it anticipated it.

Shields of the Abyss

A ship so powerful required unmatched defenses.

The Seawraith was shielded by:

1. Arcane Shields – A protective warding system, designed to deflect magical attacks.

2. Hull Regeneration – A slow-repair enchantment that allowed the wood to mend itself over time.

3. Elemental Barriers – The ship could be warded against fire, lightning, and ice, shielding it from elemental destruction.

This ensured that, even under relentless assault, the Seawraith would never fall easily.

A Gift for Vance

Seraphis stepped back, taking in the completed blueprint.

This was a vessel worthy of Vance—a man whose brilliance in naval warfare demanded a ship that could match his strategic genius.

She rolled up the blueprint and tucked it beneath her arm.

Tomorrow, the shipwrights would begin their work.

The Seawraith would rise.

And with it—

The Raven Fleet would conquer the seas.
