Chapter 1078: Demon Shadow (Part II)

The ice dragon's angry roar exploded like thunder, but Ed was only stunned. He still had a vague picture in his mind—a picture similar to the one in front of him. The strange ship had also disappeared in an instant under his attack...... It's just that at that time, he wasn't even sure if he was still awake, so he naturally took it as an illusion.

But that's clearly not.

Before he could react, the ice dragon suddenly fell. A black light flashed over his head, and then disappeared into the night.

The ice dragon spun sharply in mid-air, so fast that Ed was a little dizzy—the boat was already behind them.

A shadow dragon wouldn't do that.

Ed took a deep breath and thought of Dab Stre, the mage who excelled in space spells. It seems that this ship is a combination of the natural abilities of the Shadow Dragon, the functions of a ship in its own right...... And the spells that Nine Toes knows?

How did he do it? Did he just pray silently at the time of the sacrifice? Ed still thought it was incredible.

He was a pastor at all, and the "prayer" he knew could never have been presented with such concrete results. But if it's just a spell, where did Nine Toes get such an accurate method? It's something that even Ancrane can't do...... At least thousands of years ago, Ankeland couldn't do that.

In the midst of his doubts, he still sat firmly on the neck of the ice dragon, the slender staff of eternity in his hand, and the little light of the staff's head jumped silently pulling the breath of the sea.

The wind rose on the sea, and in a very short time it became more and more urgent, but it did not raise a huge wave. The wind whistled from all directions, crashing against each other and tangling in the sky above Rainbow Bend Island.

The wind whipped up the blue flames that never stopped, and while it didn't extinguish them completely, it pushed them together so that they could no longer fall to the ground.

In the center of the whirlwind, the ice dragon hovered above the keel, pouring the icy dragon's breath on the black giant ship.

The Dragonbone was not easily frozen, but it was also covered with a layer of hoarfrost. It didn't shift place again - the hurricane that Ed had created with magic slightly distorted the space, the danger of forcing a breakthrough, even if Nine Toes didn't know it...... Oylan should know that too.

It was like a fish trapped between the sharp rocks and unable to find a way out, but Ed didn't dare to let his guard down. He didn't know about the Nine Toes...... I don't know about Lafferty today, but he knows how many tricks Oylan can play.

The thought of the two of them coming together like this made Ed shudder. As for Oylan's subtle "kindness" to him...... He didn't dare take it seriously.

The ice dragon flew boldly, so low that it could barely reach the spear-like upright mast of the Dragonbone. The blue flames burned into two glowing chains under the ship's side, just like before each fall...... But this time, the blue light climbed up the three masts like lightning, like a huge trident, and stabbed straight at the ice dragon.

“...... Is!" Ed subconsciously shouted.

The ice dragon quickly dodged sideways. At that moment, the skeleton in the bow of the ship suddenly bowed its head, and invisible power erupted from its open mouth, tearing a crack in the wind curtain.

The blue fire poured down from the condensation, dense almost like a glowing waterfall. Ed's heart stopped beating in fright, and the hand that grabbed the dragon thorn involuntarily tightened, and the ice dragon swooped down without hesitation, allowing him to stop the beautiful but deadly flow of light as fast as he could.

His power is limited after all. Lacking the power of magic to sustain it, the forcibly propelled air could no longer spin rapidly, and the Dragonbone spread its wings leisurely, riding on the remaining air currents, and in the blink of an eye, it had already slid far away.

When Ed succeeded in pushing the unquenchable flame to the uninhabited sea, the Dragonbone was gone. In the waters near the pier, the fighting gradually subsided. Almost all of the Black Galleons were evacuated without any incident—the warless merchant ships did not do much damage to them.

Ed was a little dazed - they were so easy to ...... Are they gone? What the hell are they here for?

He unconsciously asked.

He didn't feel like it was just for the possessions...... If you want to make money, there is no need to do this, it seems to destroy the entire Hongwan Island.

"Liwei. The ice dragon replied, "Fear is a very powerful weapon. Every ship that sees all this here today will spread fear of that magic ship. And...... If you get a good sword that has just been forged, wouldn't you want to use it to chop something and see how sharp it really is?"

Ed chilled.

But soon, the cries from the ground pulled back his consciousness - the night's disaster did not end there.

As he left Neo City, he did his best to spread the news to the various temples. Rainbow Island will need a large number of physicians and priests...... Although he was not sure how many people would come.

The Neo people believe in God, but they believe perfunctorily. The gold coins that can be held in your hands are far more reliable than the gods that you can't see or touch, not to mention, they also have the Archmage Tower...... Of the few temples in Neo City, the Temple of the Water God is already the largest, because there are always fishermen in need of protection in the city near the sea. As far as he knew, there were few priests in the Water Temple, and they were either very young or old.

The blue fires that fell on the island had almost all been extinguished by themselves now, but the damage they caused was now more clearly exposed in front of his eyes.

It is admirable that even in such a situation, the Brie people did not panic and become a mess. The fires that were most likely to start in the chaos have obviously been brought under control, but the island, which was once lush and lush in the fall, has also been charred black. Although most of the houses have never collapsed, the roof that has been penetrated by corrosion is like a mouth screaming miserably. Wounded and lying on the ground were everywhere, mostly young warriors. Adults can still try to stay calm, but the children's shrill cries come and go, uncontrollably loud. And the blackened scorch marks were not as harmless as the ashes of ordinary flames, and many of the wounded could not even find a place to sit properly, so they could only struggle to stand in a daze, or stagger.

But even so, many people looked up at the sky and made a unique gesture to the white dragon hovering over it.

“...... They're saying thank you. Ed whispered.

Jessie taught him this.

From time to time, the Unicorn finally arrives. Bertram was cleaning up the mess with his men and the uninjured people on the island, but there wasn't much they could do.

Ed jumped as the ice dragon flew low to the ground.

He can do better...... He should have done better.
