Trails
Six days have passed in a blink of an eye, and according to this degree, there is still one day to catch up with the fleet of the Black Shark Pirates, and Darko and the others are very anxious. At this moment, Faulk climbed up to the lookout and looked into the air. For the past few days, he had been learning the skills of an archer with Tasa, and Phyllis had allowed him not to stand guard at the lookout, but now he had climbed up again.
Darko cast a gas amplification spell and asked in a loud voice, "Fauck, what are you looking at?"
Falk pointed to the air and said, "There are six white lines in the sky, one thicker and the other four thinner, which look like the wake of a gas mage flying high. ”
Phyllis looked around and said strangely, "What's the trail, why can't I see it?"
Kevin cast a spell on several people, looked up for a while, and said, "I saw it, it was six trails arranged in parallel, just above our heads, and it was still fading, it seems that these qi magicians have not been gone for too long." ”
Phyllis quickly jumped and shouted, "I saw it too, I saw it too! Maybe it's the Stormwind Church, no, it must be the Stormwind Church, they're going to arrest Wendy." Second mate, follow the direction of this wake and drive it as fast as possible!"
Darko also has an understanding of air magic, "This is indeed the trace left by the air magician's high flight through the air, but only after the magician level can use the flying technique, can it cause such a trail." And to be able to dispatch so many qi magicians at one time, it is almost certain that the other party is the Storm Church, and they may have already seen Wendy's traces, after all, if we can find Wendy, the other party will definitely be able to find it. ”
After receiving the confirmation, Otto asked worriedly, "How long ago were these trails?"
Darko continued to look at the sky and said, "Judging by how much they've faded, it should have been more than an hour. ”
"More than an hour?" Otto muttered for a while, "if it's really the Church of the Storm that is chasing Wendy, then they will all fly after they get the target location." The full flight of the Air Magus is more than six times faster than that of the Sunfish, and it is impossible for us to catch up with them, so it is safer to target the Black Shark Pirates. ”
At this time, Falk had already scratched off the main mast, and he ran over and said, "The direction of the wake is the same as the direction where the Black Shark Pirates are, but those few qi magicians are fast, and the amount of advance they hit when they intercept the Black Shark Pirates is also different from ours, so it will deviate from our current route." ”
Darko turned his head, and after getting confirmation from the second mate, he said solemnly, "Then we can only expect Wendy to maneuver for a while." ”
At the end of the six trails were six figures in gray-and-white cloaks, flying above the sea. The six men kept cruising at an altitude of about 500 meters above the surface of the sea, an altitude at which they could observe the surface of the sea without being attacked by the dangers hidden below the surface.
Although the six of them were all dressed in the same attire, it could be seen from the fluctuations in their magic power that there was a difference in their ranks. Two of them struggled to fly, while the other four seemed to be at ease. One of them glanced back and said in a deep voice, "Slow down, wait a minute, Biqi and Soth, their degree can't keep up." ”
One of the people next to him was a little breathless, and he said anxiously, "Cardinal McTrick, that traitor should be not far ahead, why don't we four go over and intercept her first." She's so cunning that if she's too late, she'll run away again. ”
"Shut up!" McTrick roared angrily, "Morin, have you forgotten how Cardinal Nanpoli died?"
The man named Morin was stunned when he heard this, and a sad look appeared in his eyes, and he stopped speaking. Cardinal Nanboli was the strongest of the squad, and when he first arrived at Venus, the traitor was hiding on an island not far from the Space Temple, and he didn't wait for the others to go after him alone. As a result, he was lured into a tunnel by a traitor, and then blew up the entrance to the tunnel, and led the sea water into the tunnel, causing Cardinal Nanpoli to drown alive in the tunnel. Since then, the remaining six of them have all acted together, encountering forks in the road or unclear terrain, and arranging the front and rear of the temple so that the traitors have no chance to split and attack, and can only flee all the way. It wasn't until this time that they finally got the news that they had found a target on the Black Shark Pirates' ship, so they flew all the way to capture them.
Although the six people in the back have dropped a little, they are still several times faster for ships sailing on the sea, and after a while, the shadow of the Black Shark Pirate fleet has appeared in their field of vision. The Black Shark Pirates apparently noticed them as well, and quickly began to change formations, preparing magic crossbows and cannons.
After such a long time of chasing, he finally saw the fleet, Morin couldn't hold his breath at first, he cast a amplification magic, and the voice passed from afar, "The Storm Church pursues the traitors, the fleet in front immediately stops the ship, and gives us board for inspection, otherwise the comrades who are regarded as traitors will be killed together!"
"What? There are traitors from the Stormwind Church on our ship? They still ask to be inspected on board, what a reason!" On the deck of the Black Shark Pirates' flagship, a big man with black hair on his chest jumped to his feet and shouted. This big man is the captain of the Black Shark Pirates is Rons, and he is also a powerful man in the Venus plane, but he is made such an unreasonable request, of course he will be angry.
A gentlemanly man beside Ron hurriedly persuaded, "Captain, looking at the posture of the Storm Church, it doesn't seem that he is here to make trouble on purpose, it seems that it is indeed something. Combined with the previous rumors of the Stormwind Church, it is very likely that they really have a traitor who has fled to the Venus plane. ”
Ron was grumpy, but he wasn't stupid, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to bring the pirates to such a scale, he thought for a moment and said, "Tell them to confirm their identities first, and that they can only get on board alone, and they need to be accompanied by one of our people the whole time." ”
The lookout on the main mast quickly spread Rons's words through amplification magic, and several bishops of the Stormwind Church didn't want to waste their time, so they simply lifted the hood of their cloaks to reveal their true faces. Several other people Ron didn't know, but as the archmage McTrick, he still heard about it, and he was immediately startled when he saw the real face, and then began to congratulate himself that he didn't directly refuse the other party's request.
"Guests from the Storm Church are invited to come on board for sightseeing. Even so, Ron didn't want to be examined, but to save face in the name of sightseeing.
After a short exchange, several bishops of the Storm Church approached the flagship of the Black Shark Pirates by Morin, while several other people surrounded the ship at a distance of more than 3oo meters, this distance can not only support in time, but also will not be affected by a group attack magic, it is obvious that in order to deal with Wendy, the Storm Church has also done its homework, and various emergency plans have been prepared.
Morin flew above deck and landed in front of Rons. However, just as he landed, a magic crossbow on the ship suddenly flickered and shot a crossbow arrow quickly. In an instant, everyone was shocked.
Merlin was only stunned for a moment, and then sneered, what he was most afraid of was that Wendy was playing hide and seek with him in the boat, and now that the other party was preparing to attack him, he would inevitably expose himself. At such a close distance, it may be very fatal for others, but Maureen is known for his degree, and even Cardinal McTrick can't match his degree at short distance, and it is precisely because of this reason that he was sent to find someone on the ship.
However, a swift cyclone suddenly swirled out from Mo Lin's feet, and suddenly restrained Mo Lin in place, which turned out to be a wind binding technique. Such a magic was not very effective for Morin, who was a qi magister, and could only be restrained for about a second at best, but this short second was enough for a crossbow arrow to hit Merlin.
But Morin still didn't care, after the previous lesson, he had cast an air shield on himself long before he boarded the ship, and ordinary crossbow arrows of this level could not kill him even if he stood still. But just when he was full of confidence, he saw that the arrow flashed with more than one gorgeous brilliance, making the whole arrow as brilliant as a rainbow.
"Oops!" Morin's expression finally became flustered, they had been ignoring one thing, Wendy was not only a gas magus, but also a master enchanter!
Sharp, armor-piercing, critical hit, attack, strike, all six enchantment effects are blessed on a single-use arrow, and even the richest forces probably have never used enchanted arrows in such luxury.
There was a crackling sound on the ground, as if the glassware had shattered to the ground, but it was the air cover on Merlin's body that shattered, and the layer of magical defense was like a bubble of disillusionment, and the thick arrow was already stuck in his right chest, and he was dragged back again and again, finally nailed to the wooden wall of the ship's superstructure.
Merlin spat out a mouthful of blood, and if he hadn't escaped the wind at the last moment, the thick arrow would have carved a heart-sized hole in his heart. Even so, Morin grinned in pain, he knew that it was Wendy who was playing tricks, and he hurriedly tried to break free. McTrick and the others were already flying towards this side, and as soon as he left the deck of the ship, it would be safe.
However, Wendy would not show mercy as long as she made a move, and suddenly a straight and slender gap appeared in the wooden wall behind Merlin's head, and correspondingly, Morin's eyeliner was replaced by a blood line, and then the shadow of the wind blade was seen shooting out of the cabin behind him.
Almost a minute had passed, and it seemed like it was less than a second, and Morin slowly lowered his head, and the part of his forehead above the eyeliner slid neatly to the ground, and the brain inside slammed and could not be restored. The body that has lost its brain is still nailed to the wall by crossbow arrows, and the white eyeballs can be seen in the open skull.
"Morin!" McCrick hurried in, and when Morin was no longer saved, he also made a quick decision, brewing a tornado storm in his hand, smashing down on the deck of the ship.
Tornado is a level 6 group attack magic, which is two levels higher than a level 4 tornado, and its power does not only depend on the increase in the number of tornadoes, but also greatly increases the output. At a central point, several powerful whirlwinds stretched out a distance of 100 meters, writhing wildly like tentacles. Wherever the tentacles passed, the sea was sucked up, the decks were lifted, the canvas was torn, the ships swayed, and the pirates staggered as if they were in a raging storm.
Captain Ron was also overwhelmed by this series of events, and in a short period of time, Morin, who was of his rank, had died on the spot, and McTrick's magic had already bombarded his ship, so that he had not yet figured out whether to fight back.
McTrick was only angry for a moment at Merlin's death, and then quickly regained his composure, and he immediately rose into the air and told the others to be on guard. He himself kept an eye on the flagship of the Black Shark Pirates, rising and falling in the tornado, but he just didn't see Wendy. Wendy's spell control ability has become more and more proficient, and after casting magic twice at such a distance, he didn't even notice the magic fluctuations beforehand, causing Merlin to die on the spot.
"Here!" was when McCrick was annoyed when he suddenly heard Soth cry in the distance. As soon as Soth shouted, he struck a scythe into the sea, and at the same time, a large wave broke out on the sea, and a figure suddenly rushed out and fled into the distance.
"Chase!" McTrick chased after him as quickly as he could, and at this time, Wendy was no longer able to maintain the airflow in the cloak in order to fly full, and McTrick saw at a glance that the figure was Wendy.
Wendy begins by hiding in the cabin and attacking Merlin, but then takes advantage of the chaos when McTrick attacks the ship by making a hole in the bottom of the ship and burrowing into the sea, preparing to dive out without even noticing. The use of an air shield in the seawater so that the water does not directly touch the body, and the use of flying to move quickly, is a great way to stealth. It's just that because the air element in the sea water is too scarce and requires too much mana, this method can only be used for a short time. But he didn't expect that he had just dived out of a distance of more than 100 meters, and he was seen by Soth. Fortunately, the sea water is a natural barrier, blocking the lock of spiritual power, and the refraction of the water surface makes the opponent's attack fail to hit Wendy.
Wendy flew straight out of the water, clinging to the surface of the sea and fleeing, drawing a ripple like a fish scale on the surface of the sea. Soth swooped down to follow, but heard McTrick shout, "Come back and prevent her from breaking down!"
Soth was a little reluctant, he was the closest, and he would soon be able to catch up with Wendy with all his might. At this moment, he suddenly felt a powerful spiritual fluctuation suddenly attack, causing him to have a splitting headache and plunge directly towards the sea. And Wendy didn't know when she turned around and fought back, and the wind blades in her hands were superimposed wildly, how could she just run away in embarrassment?
This is precisely the attack from the Divine Soul, Wendy has been able to use most of its power through spiritual spells after such a long time of fusion with the Divine Soul, although it is still limited to spiritual impact, but the power of this spiritual impact is no worse than any spiritual class. It's just that using the power of the divine soul is still not a light burden for Wendy, and she can only use it once in a day, and the real killing move is the wind blade in her hand.
The wind blade swirled and swept towards Soth, but I don't know if Soth was reminded by McCreek in advance to be prepared, or if the instinct to save his life was too strong, and he actually tore open the magic scroll he used to save his life in the vertigo after receiving the mental shock. A layer of crystalline full-body armor appeared on Merlin's body, leaving a deep cut on it as the wind blade touched his body, but it failed to break it.
"Frost Armor!" Wendy recognized at a glance that this Frost Armor was Darko's work, and that it had stronger defensive capabilities than the ordinary defensive magic scrolls on the market, and she was so depressed that she almost wanted to vomit blood.
This scroll is indeed the work of Darko, who copied many magic scrolls during his practice at St. Yale, in addition to the glyphs, and those scrolls have found their way into the market. Soth also happened to be on a mission to find Wendy at St. Yale, and seeing the excellent quality of the scroll of this frost armor, he bought one to save his life, and it was only then that it finally came in handy.
Wendy didn't dare to fight, and hurriedly reflexively reflexed and ran again, while McTrick also used gas magic to pick up Sosto, and led the other four people to chase Wendy in an arc. After all, they have the advantage of numbers, as long as it is on this vast sea, they must be the ones who will win in the end, so they are not in a hurry.
A group of them fled and chased after each other, gradually moving away between the sea and the sky, leaving only the Black Shark Pirates in place, their flagship was already a mess, the large sailing ship would not be torn apart because of a sixth-level magic, but the part above the deck was also full of devastation, but the biggest damage was the opening opened by Wendy at the bottom of the ship, seeping water into the ship. But the loss of face was far worse than that, and Ron stood on the deck with a blushing face, watching his men busy. What made him even more annoyed was that many of his men had just been hit by a tornado and began to abandon ship like dumplings to escape.
A cadre ran over and said, "Captain, it's been found out, the one who fought with them is a newcomer who just got on board some time ago, and he wears a cloak all day, I have long thought that there is something wrong with him." ”
"It's just a afterthought!" Ron kicked the man over, then paced back and forth on the deck, his mind fluctuating. This matter seems to have involved some secrets of the Stormwind Church, and it is obviously no longer something he can interfere with, but this matter is born on his head, if he does not handle it well, his prestige in the eyes of his subordinates will inevitably decline, and even the captain's position may not be guaranteed. Whether it is reasonable or reasonable, he can't just forget it, he must give his subordinates an explanation to himself.
"The whole fleet, in the direction of those people leaving, we have to redouble the damage they have done!" Ron stopped pacing, waving his lookout to wave the flag, but what he thought in his heart was that he might be able to pick up the bargain just in time for the other side to lose.
More than a dozen ships surrounded the broken ship in the center, gradually turning their course, heading in the direction where the Storm Church had disappeared.
