Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Winged Demon
The sky is hardly cloudy at this time, and the same blue ocean is under a blue sky, like a serene still life sketch. But in this beautiful blue, there is a little variety, rippling in the sky. If you look closely, you'll see that it's a huge black ship with no sails.
Above the endless sea, the giant black ship headed towards the continent of Misdi, at the other end of the sea level.
It was two days before I left Borivia.
After taking down Zan and Mutu with the power technique, the news immediately spread among the students, although among them there were some second- or third-level apprentices who could cast spells, but after it was rumored that Merlin was also good at potions, no one came to harass her, but a few people tried to win her over, the same group of little children, pretending to be adults, ridiculously tight.
Merlin spends most of her time researching, and while in Manshu City, she was very interested in the theory of spells that Salch had to say, and it would be very important for them as wizard apprentices to speed up the casting speed...... For example, in the previous conflict, she cast a simplified version of the Grid, and the syllables of the spell were reassembled in Hebrew, and with a simple gesture, the spell was quickly completed.
And the effect is also quite significant, so that in actual combat, as long as you have enough mental power, you don't have to be confused by energy, because this is a complete absorption of energy particles in the air.
Occasionally, Merlin would find time to have afternoon tea with Sister Serena and a few other wizarding apprentices she had talked to...... Or ask Robert for advice on how to exercise as a knight.
If you give courtesy, you will have something to give back.
Although the knight is not a wizard, he will also follow the principle of 'equal exchange', and Merlin handed over a part of the loot to Robert two days ago, which made the other party feel good, which was very hard to point, and Merlin benefited a lot.
Of course, the deck is so big, and sometimes you can't help but encounter Mars and Zonke, the former is cold-eyebrowed, and the latter is full of fear. The peaceful journey lasted until the fifteenth day, which is halfway through the journey.
Today's weather is not very good, the sky is overcast, and it looks like there will be wind and rain at any time. The apprentices had all returned to their cabins, leaving only the busy handymen on deck...... The reason why it is not called a sailor is because the ship is simply in the air.
A dense black dot appeared in the distant sky, and the knight on the lookout first showed a surprised expression, and then shouted loudly below: "An unknown creature appears on the right!"
There was a commotion among the miscellaneous servants and the knights of the guards on the deck, and for them, the creatures that dared to provoke the wizard ship were synonymous with danger.
"It's Lebuga's Winged Demon!" cried one of the knights.
At this time, the Grand Knight Robert also rushed up, and behind him were heavily armed Guardian Knights, Lebuga Winged Demons were a very nasty creature, they had air mobility and poisonous claws.
The wizard apprentices were also driven to the deck, and some of them had little combat power and were also tucked with a crossbow in their hands...... For example, Sister Serena.
"Merlin, are we going to die?" Serena's eyes sparkled, as if Merlin was about to cry if she didn't answer correctly.
"We're all going to die. ”
Merlin said very maliciously, seeing that Selina was really about to cry, "Don't worry, it's definitely not today, there are two official wizards and dozens of knights on our ship." ”
'Whew'
The sisters all breathed a sigh of relief, and Selina glared at Merlin angrily, but didn't say anything...... The two sisters are from a small city, they are both first-class wizard apprentices, their qualifications are okay, they are one year younger than Merlin, but their bodies are too weak, I really don't know how they have the courage to run so far.
As the distance approached, Merlin could already see the Winged Demons clearly.
Mei Lin is also very curious about creatures like Winged Demons, because there are no such creatures in the water and clouds, but they have been recorded in many travelogues...... These Winged Demons are not a matter of whether their strength is terrifying or not, but that they are indeed too troublesome.
At this time, two wizards are also on the scene, one is the Lolita they have seen before, and the other is a male wizard, at least he looks like a normal person, it should be the wizard of Milam.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the claws of the Winged Demon are poisonous, and if you cut the wound and see blood, you must squeeze out the poisonous blood and then purify the wound with an antidote and then treat it. And the poison of the Winged Demon Commander...... , take these antidotes, and ask for more blessings!"
Miram stared at the rapidly approaching Winged Demon and reminded, "Robert, you command, leave us alone. ”
"You're welcome!" Robert commanded with his sword in both hands, "Bow attack!"
The first wave of attacks was bows and arrows, and while many of the wizard apprentices present were able to perform spell attacks, some spells were not as powerful as crossbow arrows in this ranged battlefield...... One hundred and ten arrows roared into the sky, and more than twenty winged demons were unfortunately shot by the arrows and fell into the sea.
One of the winged demons who seemed to be the leader hissed angrily, and the remaining winged demons immediately flapped their wings and scattered, condescending to swoop down towards everyone on the deck.
In the group of Winged Demons, there are a few guys who are significantly larger than the other Winged Demons...... Including the Winged Demon Leader, who had a much higher IQ than the average Winged Demon, did not charge, but hovered in the air, as if on the lookout for the two wizards. And the two official wizards didn't make a move, but stood there for a long time, staring at the winged demons in the air from time to time, and the two sides seemed to form a wonderful tacit understanding.
Tacit understanding?
That's right, Merlin just felt this way, those wizards didn't really make a move, but released some kind of threat, so that the strongest of those winged demons did not dare to join the attack.
Why do they do this?
Merlene's mind was racing...... With the strength of two true wizards, it would have been easy to take down this group of Winged Demons, but they seemed to have connived at those who had Winged Demons attacking the ship.
"Survival of the fittest!"
Ingram's voice suddenly reached Merlin's knowledge: "This is the usual method used by many academies, and wizard apprentices who can survive this kind of attack are worth cultivating. ”
"But many apprentices don't have much combat power, isn't this sending them to death?" Mei Lin felt a little incredible, she had never experienced this scene when she entered the Shui Yun Academy for further study.
"That's why it's called a test, and only those who don't necessarily have combat effectiveness can survive. Your Alyus bow and ring are best left unused. Ingram reminded.
