Chapter 162: Means of Control

Rumble!

A puff of gunpowder rose up, and as the black powder in the barrel burned and expanded, it turned into a huge driving force, and in the loud bang, a heavy solid iron ball rushed out of the barrel of the black hole, and the solid iron ball that appeared with the expansion force of the gunpowder let out a roar that tore through the air, and hit the muse who was standing quietly on the deck of the pirate ship watching the battle situation!

But before he could quietly set up this cannon, and the surprise in the eyes of the sailors who wanted to unexpectedly kill the evil mage in front of him turned into cheers in their mouths, a thick white light curtain appeared on the surface of the muse's body, even if it was hit by the huge kinetic energy possessed by the solid iron ball, it was flooded with dense ripples, but there was no sign of shattering at all!

The two were only stalemate for a few seconds, and the kinetic energy on the solid iron ball was completely consumed, and it could only fall weakly to the deck, rolling away!

When the muse slowly moved his gaze to these sailors standing next to the artillery, the coldness in his gaze suddenly made these sailors shiver in unison!

A spell flashed through his fingertips, and the muse threw a flaming arrow with a flick of it, piercing the cannon that bombarded him along with the sailor he was operating, and then exploded into a sea of fire......

"Aha-" Seeing this, the pirates who were slashing and slashing laughed in unison, and then the cruelty on their faces became even stronger, obviously having such a strong backer made them full of confidence, and the faces of the sailors who fought against the pirates showed unconcealed despair!

Faintly retracting his gaze, although the muse could have dodged or deflected the solid iron ball before it reached his body, in order to create a mysterious and powerful mage image, he still chose to block it head-on!

After all, as a low-level alchemy weapon, the powerful power of artillery is only for ordinary people and low-level professionals, and slightly more advanced professionals have a way to dodge the bombardment of artillery, and the clumsy cannon body and slow firing speed make artillery in many battles like scrap metal!

Continuing to stand quietly on the deck of the pirate ship, the muse looked at the battle scene in front of him, and the look on his face seemed to be thoughtful.

It can be seen that these vicious pirates are obviously three points stronger than the sailors who are their opponents, whether it is the strength of the slash or the speed of their actions, and they seem to have the strength of a third-level warrior!

This is certainly not their own strength!

Between the dodging and movement of some pirates, you can faintly see through the gaps exposed under the leather armor that their chests are invariably inlaid with a purple crystal, in which a purple luster like water swims, and a faint radiant energy is constantly being released from it!

It's the Muse made of radiant crystals, a special means to control these pirates!

As a product of a high-intensity radiation energy environment, radiation crystals contain a certain amount of radiation energy, and there is not much radiation energy contained in them, but ordinary people and even low-level professionals are still a dead end when they are irradiated.

As a result, the Muse, having inscribed the arcane runes of banning, suppression, and control on them, embed them directly into the pirates' chests as a means of controlling them.

The muse, on the other hand, can manipulate these arcane runes through spiritual connection, and when the pre-set time limit expires, even the slightest movement of his mind can instantly unlock the ban on the radiation crystal, release all the radiation energy, and make the bodies of these pirates dissolve like candles!

Of course, it is a poisonous three-point drug, just like the nuclear radiation in the world of science and technology, although the terrifying radiation left by the nuclear explosion is full of deterrent power and is daunting, but the creatures that can survive under the nuclear radiation will have a high probability of mutation and even evolution!

Moreover, the vast majority of creatures that can survive and mutate under nuclear radiation are larger, more ferocious, and more powerful.

Originally, the process of evolution was very long and difficult, often a process that took thousands or tens of thousands of years to carry out, but under nuclear radiation, this process was reduced to an extremely short time compared to the original!

And radiant energy also has this effect, which is why there are always powerful monsters entrenched in those natural and unnatural radiant places.

In fact, some of the forbidden studies during the Arcane Empire also used high-intensity radiation energy to continuously irradiate living beings, causing them to mutate and conduct other experiments.

Although the Muse was not involved in these forbidden studies, as a former Grand Arcanist, he had some knowledge about it.

Therefore, when the muse controls the arcane rune slowly releases the negligible trace of radiant energy in the radiant crystal, it is effective in stimulating the potential of the human body!

However, because Muse is not very proficient in this way, he said that he has no psychological pressure and is not responsible for the unknown consequences and problems caused by abnormal development, fatal lesions, and reduced life expectancy caused by poor operation......

In any case, according to the Muse's estimate, there will be no problems in three to five years, during which time these pirates will only feel stronger and stronger, and their own strength will continue to increase, and with such grace and power, the Muse will be able to firmly hold these pirates in his hands.

And if anything goes wrong...... At most, a spell will evaporate the world......

Soon, under the overwhelming strength of these pirates, soon the first sailor could no longer suppress the fear in his heart, threw down the sailor in his hand and fled backwards, wanting to put down the lifeboat and escape, and as the first person to escape appeared, soon more sailors' minds also floated, which in turn pushed the collapse of the stalemate battle situation!

The pirates were also experts at using this kind of fear, not only to kill, but also to deliberately pick up the corpses of the sailors they had killed before, slashing them with flesh and blood, and their faces were covered with blood, and with their ferocious expressions, they were almost like demons from the abyss.

In the end, the resisting sailors were either killed or put down their lifeboats and fled in a hurry, and the pirates would not pay attention to these guys who escaped in the lifeboats, after all, it was almost impossible to survive on this vast sea with a small lifeboat.

At this time, only a few prisoners were left on the ship, mainly some crew members who had no combat effectiveness, and they were all rushed into the cabin and imprisoned by a few vicious pirates.
