Chapter 197: True Hero
Hidden behind the bombed, shattered, single-masted medium-sized cargo ship, the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce's aluminium-hulled speedboat continued to jet turbulent water from its tail as it spewed through the sinking wreckage of the floating freight, burst out of the flames and billowing smoke from the wreckage, and crashed headlong into the hull of the regular ship on which Croix and Shadow were riding.

Immediately, there was a loud bang on the surface of the ocean again. The two-masted galleon on which the elven swordswoman and the man in black were riding was blown in two from the middle. Another large, shiny fireball with an extremely dazzling, orange glow leaped into the air.
Accompanied by violent explosions and tremors, many passengers on board the regular ship were thrown into the sea from the deck at once. The explosion killed and injured dozens of people on the spot.
"Help!" "Mommy!" "Help us!" People who can't swim are crying out for help and dying in the water. The cries and screams resounded incessantly, and the regular ship that had been broken in two was resounding continuously.
"Please don't panic!-The liferaft will be put down at once!-" The captain lay on the side of the bow of the ship, which had been tilted at forty-five degrees, and his right hand held a cable firmly tied to the bow deck, and in his left hand he held a trumpet-shaped spell amplifier, handed it to his mouth, and called out to the passengers.
At the same time, part of the sailors was crawling on the sloping deck, trying to untie the reins of the life raft. The other sailors had already jumped into the sea and began to try to save the drowning man as much as possible.
"Miss Croix. There's one thing I have to confirm right away. Shadow told Croce in front of him. At this moment, the hull of the regular ship suddenly grew a lot of thick spell vines. Some of these vines untied the reins of the liferaft and lowered it to the surface, while others wrapped themselves around the bodies of the wounded and those who had fallen into the water, lifted them up and placed them gently on top of the liferaft.
The next thing I saw was that Shadow's legs released a stream of white phosgene from the inside out, wrapping around the feet and making him look like his feet had white webs. Forbidden Spell - Infallible Technique!
Immediately after, Shadow jumped from the bow deck into the sea, and soon ran flat on the surface of the sea to the point where the regular ship had been broken in two after being hit by a speedboat. I saw an extremely shining energy crystal sphere appear in front of the man in black, flashing red and blue in a hurry.
"Hurry up and show up, bring everyone underwater, and don't delay for a moment!" Seeing this scene, the mouth of the Shadow immediately burst out, an earth-shattering and huge cry.
At the same time, the man in black jumped up from the sea with all his might, jumped vertically back to the deck at the bow of the ship, grabbed Croix's arm, and dragged the elven swordswoman from the deck into the sea without stopping for a moment.
"Shadow. What's going on..."Croce neither struggled nor resisted in the face of Shadow's abrupt move, and when he was dragged into the water, he only had a puzzled question.
In the face of Croqin's doubts, the shadow did not explain at all, and stretched out his right hand, aiming his palm at the elven female swordsman, and released a cloud of white phosgene. The white phosgene immediately enveloped Croqin's whole body, causing her to quickly sink to the bottom of the sea. Forbidden Spell - Isolation!
At the same time, a large group of karst amphibious mercenaries, riding on the backs of dozens of ichthyosaurs, emerged from the sea.
"Take all the people to the bottom of the sea!dive as deep as possible!" Seeing this, Shadow poked his head out of the sea and commanded in a loud voice again. On the deck of the regular ship, a tall elven lady dressed in an emerald green gown and wearing a pink top hat the size of a hat heard this, and the first to take the lead was to pounce, and a fierce son plunged into the ocean.
The spell vines that grew out of the hull then rolled up the passengers and crew on the deck and on the liferafts, throwing people into the water. At the same moment, the amphibian mercenaries and ichthyosaurs grabbed the limbs of the people who fell into the water with their hands and dragged the clothes of the people who fell into the water with their mouths, bringing the people into the deep sea.
"What do you want to do with you amphibious fishmen!?-cough..."The captain of the regular ship fell into the water, still holding the spell megaphone in his hand, and looked at the amphibious mercenaries who suddenly appeared, and asked loudly. Seeing this, a fish dragon immediately grabbed him by the sleeve of his coat and dragged him into the depths, causing the captain to choke on a large mouthful of water.
On the other side, the film did not dare to stop for a moment, and its whole body was wrapped in pure white phosgene, presenting a perfect streamlined water drop shape, and a fish leaped from the surface of the sea and dived to the bottom of the water. Forbidden Spell - Fish Swimming!
I saw that the man in black quickly passed through the wreckage of the ship on the surface of the water from under the surface of the sea at an incredible speed, and swam like a dolphin, directly below the energy crystal sphere that flickered bright and dark, flashing red and blue light alternately.
Then, Shadow stood tall on the surface of the sea, raising his right hand high, and aimed his palm at the energy crystal sphere. Forbidden Spell - Energy Counter Force Field! The palm of his right hand immediately appeared, a bottomless pitch-black energy hole. A large wave of pitch-black phosgene erupted vertically from the palm of his hand, reaching the surface of the energy crystal sphere.
I saw that the energy crystal sphere was pushed higher and higher by this huge force, and it became higher and higher, until it exceeded the height of the mast of the wreckage of the regular ship. And then bang!--crackling... Several loud explosions were heard. Deep cracks appeared on the surface of the energy crystal sphere. An extremely blinding blazing white light radiated from within.
The energy crystal sphere, which had been flashing red and blue alternately, instantly turned blazing white and exploded. The sea and the sky where the wreck of the regular ship was located suddenly turned into a vast blazing white like a huge lightning flashing overhead in the dark night, as if the air had frozen in an instant.
A few seconds of deathly silence followed. The movement of air and the propagation of sound over this sea ceased instantly. However, the above situation only lasted for a very short time. Everything on the surrounding sea seemed to be back to normal.
However, the wreckage of several ships has completely disappeared from the sea, leaving only an endless expanse of blue water.
"I didn't expect that an energy crystal with a purity of only fifteen percent would have such power. I didn't expect to meet such a difficult opponent here. So that you got away with it. The weirdo sat in the pod under the hot air balloon, binoculars in hand, paying attention to what had just happened, and smiled a little disappointed.
"Isn't that more interesting, though?" the strange man put down the telescope in his hand, and suddenly asked himself a question, and opened his mouth to laugh.
"I'm sorry. This time the mission was not completed. But according to this gentleman's rule, half of the deposit you pay in advance cannot be refunded. The strange man then took out the platinum token from his pocket and reported.
"I didn't expect you to be weird, and there are times when you miss. "Far away in the palace at the top of the Nether, Wren (Hilde) holds another platinum token in his hand and talks to the weirdo.
"Okay. Then I'll let you entrust me with another task for free. Because now, I'm about to leave for the Barbarian Frontier. But this time, this gentleman can't guarantee that it will be done. The weirdo replied to Wren (Silde).
"So be it. Here's what I want you to do—" Wren (Silder) instructed the weirdo.
Turn back again. Just when that energy crystal sphere rose to the height of the mast of the regular shipwreck. Bear the forbidden spell -- energy counter-force field! The shadow of the reaction force is pressed lower and lower by the reaction force, and the pressure is getting lower and lower, until it is pressed into the sea and sinks to a depth of twenty or thirty meters below the surface of the sea.
White, red, and black three different colors of phosgene emanated from the black-clothed man's body together, wandering and jumping around his body.
"What's wrong with me? I let the amphibious mercenaries follow and hide behind the ship. I wanted to use this boat as bait to catch that guy. I didn't expect it to be like this. But what needs to be done... It's all been done. Tia should be fine..."
The shadow stood upright in the sea, its body sinking downward, his eyes blood-red, a stream of blood spurting out of his mouth, and then he fell unconscious.
At the same time, from the sea directly above him, a thick and long spell vine stretched out, wrapped around the torso of the Shadow, and slowly pulled the man in black up.
