They occasionally migrate southward on the ocean currents.
They are ferocious and carnivorous. They attack fishing boats and devour marine resources, so it is said that coexistence is impossible.
Because they are demonic beasts, they occasionally use tidal waves.

Although the ship is a half-timbered vessel, its exterior is covered with thin sheets of light silver, and important parts such as the bridge and engine room are armored even more heavily.

The arrowheads are heated until they turn red. Fired from a huge bow gun, four of the ten arrows hit the target, two from each ship.
Two, one, and one arrow pierced the three Death Sea Serpents.
Each arrow was about one meter long, slowing the Death Serpents down somewhat.

A thunder cannon is a magical device that can fire a thunderbolt of magic.
In the past, when Reinhardt attacked Death Serpent with a potlock, he used a wand containing a magic formula to release a Flame Lance, but this is a larger version of the wand, and the mana is supplied from a mana tank. The lightning magic is electricity.

Literally struck by the lightning, the Death Serpent surfaced on the surface of the sea.
"Release!"
Aiming at the serpent, the cannon fired again.
