Asrold revealed a hint of a playful smile, and said solemnly, “How could I defy the orders of the Naga Priestess? I’m preparing to head to Demon Island right now! I will take down the Swamp King’s lair in one fell swoop!”
“There’s quite a bit of wealth inside! This wealth can further strengthen our power!”
“Isn’t this also weakening the enemy’s strength?”
“Relax. They have ghost ships as support and the Sharkmen assisting them, so they shouldn’t fall too quickly! Once we take Demon Island and claim the wealth inside, we can come back to help them!”
Asrold revealed a hint of a cruel smile.
Because he had already foreseen the d*ath of that Throat Cutter, he has long been dissatisfied with this emerging figure; how could he allow such a person to stand alongside him? Now that the Swamp King has mobilized all his forces, the defenses on Demon Island must be weak. Once he takes Demon Island and claims the wealth for himself, he can turn around and deal with the Swamp King, who would be heavily injured. He might not be able to confront the Swamp King head-on, but he was very confident in dealing with an injured Swamp King.
After all, there was still a quasi-legendary ghost ship there; it wouldn’t be so easy for the Swamp King to take it down!
By that time,
he would have obtained the wealth of Demon Island and eliminated the Swamp King.
He would have made a huge contribution to the entire Ocean Church; at that time, the Naga Priestess wouldn’t dare to punish him and would instead have to swallow the bitter fruit to commend him.
Asrold narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, muttering, “It’s time to let that idiot priestess suffer a bit! Otherwise, she’ll keep looking down on me more and more.”
…………
A chaotic massacre.
In a naval battle of this scale, there weren’t many tactics to speak of, especially as night was approaching.
The appearance of the Sharkmen significantly reduced Soren’s pressure, but relying solely on a group of Sharks and Sharkmen couldn’t defeat the Swamp King’s subordinates. Soren’s expression was very dark, because he was certain he had been played. He just didn’t know whether this was the arrangement of the Naga Priestess or if another Pirate King wanted to take the opportunity to have him d*e at the hands of the Swamp King. The possibility that everything was arranged by the Naga Priestess was low; after all, ghost ships and Sharkmen had appeared. It was very likely that the Pirate King didn’t want to see him rise.
Regardless of the case!
This situation was not going to end easily, and Soren’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
“Advance!”
Soren ordered the ghost ship to move forward at full speed while drawing out two curved blades, saying in a deep voice, “Vivian! Prepare for battle! Be careful and protect yourself! We must take down the Swamp King!”
A hint of a cruel smile appeared in the little girl’s eyes, hidden in the night; she said in a clear childish voice, “Brother! Let’s k*ll all these annoying guys!”
——”Acceleration Spell!”
——”Higher Magic Weapon!”
——”Dragon Power Spell!”
A series of spell lights emerged. Part of it was bestowed upon Vivian, and the other part was bestowed upon Soren.
The little girl cast spells at an incredible speed, almost instantly granting a series of spell effects; the knowledge that Gloria had taught was starting to take effect, and she simultaneously granted Soren multiple spell abilities.
The figures of the two soared into the air.
A series of data emerged in Soren’s eyes!
“Effect of Acceleration Spell activated! … Your movement speed increases! … Your attack speed increases! …”
“Effect of Higher Magic Weapon activated! … Your curved blade +1 gains the magical ability! … Weapon additionally deals energy damage! … ”
“Effect of Dragon Power Spell activated! … You gain an additional 5 points of strength, 5 points of constitution, and 5 points of charisma! … Your base defense receives a 4-point Dragon Skin bonus! … You will be immune to any sleep effects and paralysis effects! …”
This was the power of a high-level spellcaster!
Vivian clearly knew that simply using spells to eliminate these enemies was not enough, because there were quite a few enemies, and casting spells one by one would deplete spell slots without killing many. In combat, the real killing power still relied on melee professionals. The stronger the enemy, the less the role of the spellcaster was to deal damage, unless she was confident enough to simply use an instant-k*ll spell to eliminate the enemy, such as ‘Finger of d*ath’ or ‘Wail of the Banshee’.
Soren’s combat power was simply through the roof!
Vivian’s blessing of one ‘Dragon Power Spell’ directly provided him with 15 points of attribute bonuses, and the Acceleration Spell combined with the higher magical weapon. Soren’s combat power nearly instantly reached the state of the Throat Cutter transformation. If he transformed into the Throat Cutter under such circumstances, even legendary enemies would have a hard time against him.
——”Destruction Magic Sword!”
The next spell from the little girl made Soren’s eyelids jump. He saw the little girl reach out into the void. Then the space in front of her showed a crack, as if it had been cut. She raised her pale little hand and pulled out a pitch-black sharp sword. This was not a physical weapon, but a distorted cut in space. Vivian waved it gently, seemingly feeling a bit uncomfortable. She couldn’t help but pout, saying, “After all, I still prefer not to use swords!”
“Brother.”
“I’ve learned combat skills, you know!”
A pitch-black beam of light sliced through.
Vivian instantly struck at a nearby Lizardman; the opponent’s weapon turned to dust, then the armor disintegrated, and finally, the entire person turned to dust.
It was as if the enemy had been hit by ‘Disintegrate,’ directly decomposed!
“Is this a legendary spell?”
Soren couldn’t help but swallow, then his figure flew out, wielding his twin daggers, turning into a streak of cold light, blocking the arrows that flew toward him. Vivian’s strike seemed to attract the attention of a large number of enemies, and many ranged enemies targeted her.
Clang, clang!
Soren actually deflected nearly eighty percent of the arrows. He was now close to being able to block ranged attacks with his swords.
Some of the attacks landed on Soren, but were blocked by the Stone Skin Spell, while others fell on Vivian; however, they dropped down just a foot away from her, as she had surrounded herself with an invisible energy protection field. Seemingly enraged by the enemy’s attacks, Vivian raised her pale little finger, and without needing to chant a spell, sent out a series of spells.
——”Fireball Spell!”
——”Flame Arrow!”
——”Acid Arrow!”
——”Arcane Missile!”
——”Web Spell!”
——”Grease Spell!”
A dazzling array of spells surged forth. One of the warships was directly engulfed in flames. The little girl surprisingly cast out more than ten spells in one breath, instantly wiping out a large batch of enemies. If it weren’t for Grease Spell summoning a special non-flammable substance, it’s likely that a Grease Spell combined with a Fireball Spell could have burned down the warship. [PS: It is said that Grease Spell can be combined with Enlarge Spell for lubrication. The burnable material is a second-tier transformation spell.]
The power of the spellcaster was vividly demonstrated at this moment!
While Soren was still cutting down enemies one by one, Vivian had already sunk a pirate ship with spells raining down.
“Ah-oh!”
The little girl retracted her pale little finger, pouted, and picked up the Destruction Magic Sword again, mumbling, “My low-level spell slots have run out so quickly! … I was just getting into the mood! …”
A light of dispel magic appeared; it seemed there was also a spellcaster among the enemies.
The little girl furrowed her brows, glanced back slightly, and then directly threw a wide-area spell.
——”Cloudkill Spell!”
A strange mist appeared, enveloping all living beings in the area, causing them all to feel as if they were suffocating, and immediately, some died because they couldn’t withstand the d*ath check of the poisonous fog from this spell. Some of the stronger enemies reacted and rushed out of the range of the Cloudkill Spell, then jumped into the sea. The guy who started casting spells didn’t even have time to continue before dying inside.
It seemed his constitution wasn’t high!
Within the range of the Cloudkill Spell, he didn’t even manage to succeed in concentrating on casting spells and was directly suffocated.
For any profession, constitution was an important attribute.
Rumbling!
A deep rumble came, and then a massive Dragon Head Warship emerged, covered in heavy iron plating, seeming not like a simple alchemical craft. On this huge and bizarre Dragon Head Warship stood a giant, four to five meters tall, holding an immensely heavy anchor in one hand, gazing at Soren with eyes filled with mad killing intent.
The Swamp King!
A hybrid monster of Lizardman and Mud Giant.
