Chapter 11: Blackstone Island (5)
Neither the mage nor the other members of the ship spotted Rhaegar hiding not far above them. With the power of magic, the geist was well aware of the actions and decisions of the lords and kings, and as Sarester set out, he followed behind the fleet, summoning his shadow again as the 'waves' of the summoning ritual were carried into the distance with the blood light that soared into the sky.
"Mighty and noble Neven!" Salence bowed his head as he looked at the monster that suddenly appeared in the sky, and saluted the other party with near-perfect 'intercourse' etiquette, though he knew very well that it might not make much difference.
"The kings of Coriano have sent me to send you the highest greetings," said Salencer respectfully, his voice echoing through the air, "they are very eager to know your present wishes, and are willing to do whatever it takes to meet any of your requests." β
Cato's transformed Navin hovered silently in the air, staring at Saranst below with three eyes like substance, and the invisible coercion made the veteran negotiator feel a deep fear from the bottom of his heart.
"Your strength awes all, and your anger makes us tremble," a strong sense of mission made Saranst barely overcome his panic, and he continued his preconceived words: "We are only humble beings, and we are not qualified to know the cause of your anger, but if our actions can calm your anger a little, we will gladly do so." β
As a highly intelligent being, like humans, Nevin would never do anything unprofitable and meaningless - the attack on ships going to and from the sea a thousand years ago made the sea area with a radius of thousands of kilometers around Blackstone Island a forbidden place from the outside world, and at the same time, it had easy access to a large amount of treasure and food, and if this attack was really carried out, such almost groveling words were enough to make it rationally negotiate with the other party.
Unfortunately, only Rhaegar and his shadow are here now, and the only answer they give to Salence is action.
Without warning, the flames ignited all over the monster's body, and in Cato's deafening roar, fist-sized fireballs rained down on the flotilla of six warships, each of which exploded violently as it fell, forming a wave of fire that could sweep across a radius of ten meters in an instant. In just a few seconds, except for the battleship that Salence was on and survived due to the mages holding up the shield in time, the rest of the ships were all turned into burning torches at sea, and the terrible heat caused the members of these ships to turn into char in the first place.
"It's gone mad!" shouted Severn, the leader of the mages, as he tried his best to maintain the magic shield, "we can't compete with it, 'draw' some of them to use hurricane magic, get the ship to speed up, and we must get back to land as soon as possible!"
The order was quickly executed, and three of the seven mages who were with them 'withdrew' from the maintenance of the magic shield began to 'chant' incantations, gusts of wind appeared on the sea with their incantations, and under the effect of the strong winds, all the sails on the battleship were full, and the huge sea ship quickly turned around and sailed towards the way it came, several times faster than before.
The escape of the prey seemed to 'provoke' the monster even more, Cato roared, and when it lowered its head again, a fireball the size of a human head spewed out of its mouth, and in the process of flying towards the sea ship, this fireball continued to absorb the burning substances in the air, and soon increased to more than ten times its original size.
The huge fireball roared through the air, and in the next moment, it accurately hit the shield supported by the mages, and the strong explosion caused the sea around the warship to set off a huge 'wave' more than ten meters high, and the shield that could resist the bombardment of boulders fired by dozens of trebuchets at the same time immediately turned into a point of light scattered in the air. The mages who supported the shield suddenly fell to the ground as if they had been struck by lightning, and the backlash of magic severely damaged their bodies and 'spirits', and they no longer had the ability to fight.
"We're done. A mage in charge of creating the wind looked at the monster that was swooping towards him from the sky, and muttered to himself, beside him, two companions had already flown into the air with the help of flying skills for the first time, desperately fleeing in the direction of the coast.
However, they did not escape, and two pillars of fire struck the two mages who had turned their backs on their companions almost at the same time, and they became the first to be killed on the ship.
The monster's figure swept across the sky like the wind, swooping down on the ship in a panic, and people could even clearly see the bloodthirsty light that shot from those three eyes. Salence stood dumbfounded at the bow of the ship, motionless as he stared at the approaching predators, his mind blank, the chief foreign affairs officer of Solai had completely lost his mind in the face of this terrifying presence.
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and slashed at the monster's back before it crashed into the ship, and the menacing monster let out a scream and crashed like a stone to the surface.
The people who thought they were dead watched with wide eyes and amazement, unable to believe that the monster that was invincible in their eyes could be defeated.
The unexpected lightning attack didn't hurt Cato much, and before falling into the sea, the monster finally stabilized itself and flew high into the air again. But before it could make any further moves, another bolt of lightning struck its head, and this time the blow was obviously much heavier than the previous one, and the monster did not recover until it was almost close to the water, this time, Cato, who had learned his lesson, did not fly immediately, but swept nearly a kilometer against the surface of the sea before flying high again, and at the same time, the flames on its body quickly condensed, forming a piece of armor made of flames along the outline of its body.
The armor worked so hard that as Cato flew up, lightning fell on it one after another, and although it screamed piercingly each time, it could never be shot down, and the monster finally spotted the opponent who was hiding in the shadows to sneak up on him.
Dressed as an elderly mage with a white beard, Rhaegar was suspended in the air above the warship, his hands flying up and down and gesticulating, and one lightning bolt after another kept falling with his mind towards Cato in the distance, and the geist suddenly had a strange feeling in his heartβ1...... 6k Mobile Station AP.1 β Divides the mind into two parts, directing oneself and the shadow to fight each other, as if the left hand is fighting with the right hand.
"That's a *** division!" exclaimed the only mage on the ship who could still stand, "Only the *** division can fight against Naven, we are saved now." The joy of escaping death excited the mage like a child, and this emotion quickly infected the people around him, and they began to cheer up their 'spirits' and look at the 'warring' sides in the sky with expectant eyes.
"Get out of here," Rhaegar shouted in a majestic voice, staring at the monster in front of him, "stop attacking these people, I don't want to hurt you." β
The geist was answered by a series of roars of unknown meaning, and the next moment, under his '' control, a 'fierce' battle with full performance began.
More than a dozen fireballs appeared in the air almost at the same moment, and then exploded, just in an instant, the rain of fire in the sky was 'crossed' into a huge fire net, with an unstoppable momentum towards Rhaegar, behind this fire net, countless flames condensed into sharp arrows like locusts towards Rhaegar 'shooting', even if they were on a sea ship hundreds of meters down, people could still feel the heat 'wave' caused by the high temperature.
Rhaeggar's hands waved again, drawing obscure and mysterious trajectories in the air, and a white 'colored' mist immediately appeared on the path of the fire net and the rocket, and these terrible attacks were like clay sculptures falling into the sea, and there was no movement after entering the white mist.
"Poor fellow," Rhaegar looked at Cato in front of him with pity, "you don't know what you're doing, your actions have been taken out of the grip of your own consciousness. He waved his hand slightly, and the white mist immediately turned into a long rope, and pounced on the opposite side like a predatory python under the command of the geist.
This seemingly light mist was a great threat to Cato, who was full of flames, and the monster flapped its wings and quickly evaded the pursuit of the white mist, while constantly attacking the white mist's '' controller, and the raindrops of flame meteors dragged their long tails and attacked Rhaegar overwhelmingly.
An invisible magic shield quietly formed around Rhaegar, and the meteors formed by the flames hit it, 'swinging' ripples, but they were never able to break through the thin barrier, and the battle between the two sides reached a stalemate in this chase-attack-defend mode. Half an hour later, Cato, who had lost his patience, roared unwillingly, then abandoned his prey and flew off into the distance.
"I can't express my gratitude in words," Salenster and the only active mage who had recovered from the dizzying battle immediately came to him as Rhaegar withdrew his flying skills and landed on the ship, and the tone of Solai's chief foreign officer was full of sincere emotion and respect, "If it weren't for you, we would all die here......"
Rhaegar interrupted him unceremoniously, "Now is not the time to be polite," he said, "If you don't want to see that mad monster go and return, get out of here at once." β
This sentence was more useful than any order, and without waiting for the leaders to give instructions, the sailors on board had begun to pick up speed, and the ships flew almost close to the surface of the sea, propelled by the strong wind created by the mage.
