Chapter 42: Opening the Door to the World (4)
With his back to the raging sea breeze, Drake Fury appeared on the lookout at the northernmost corner of the Eccadena Empire's borders. Standing here a few days ago was the commander of the Royal Marines of Equitena, although he was old, but still powerful, the three-star imperial mage - Admiral Norman Rockwell.
In the distance, floating on the sea, large and small, belonged to the wreckage of the Imperial warship. Their commander, Admiral Erich Raeder, a young but equally powerful three-star imperial swordsman, was stuck in the head of the Black Sails' front ramming horn.
The giant shadow sea monsters, after tearing apart the Imperial fleet that appeared in front of them, rushed to the shore in droves. Most of them had no legs, but they still struggled to wriggle their large, twisted bodies, trying to break out of the encirclement of the Imperial soldiers.
The soldiers of the Royal Marines possessed an astonishing will to fight, and even after witnessing their fleet collapse in front of the sea monsters, they still rushed towards these terrifying shadow creatures.
Thanks to the efforts of these brave soldiers, almost all of the first sea monsters to come ashore were culled on the coastline. Drake, the four-star shadow assassin who had infiltrated behind the Imperial soldiers, looked at the Black Sails in the distance, surrounded by hordes of sea monsters, floating quietly on the sea.
These sea monsters, which are filled with excess shadow power, have almost no reason, and are extremely powerful, if they are encountered in the sea, even if they can barely deal with an ordinary level shadow sea monster. Unable to think, these sea monsters don't know why they are driven by the Death Song. Drake knew that the Shadow Pope, who was in the cabin of the Blacksail, was able to rule the Isles of Chaos not because of the favor of the God of Chaos, nor because of his true powers, which he almost never showed, but because of his strange ability to control all the Shadow Kraken.
However, once they leave the Shadow Sea, which the sea monsters are familiar with, the power of these incomparably twisted creatures will be greatly weakened. If it weren't for this reason, the Ekadhans, with their Imperial Bonds, would not have been able to wipe out the first sea monsters that washed ashore in such a short period of time.
The Death Singers have thrown their greatest reliance into the battlefield that is completely unsuitable for them, and although the Shadow Kraken is numerous, such a drain will become unbearable if it continues.
What was it that prompted the Shadow Pope, who had always been more calm than cold, to make such a choice?
Drake quickly withdrew his gaze from the sea and stood on a high lookout for a while searching, and soon he spotted the commander of the Imperial Marine Corps, Admiral Norman Rockwell, surrounded by a large number of senior officers.
The old Imperial mage, at the same time that Drake was discovered, looked at the lookout where the captain of the Black Sails was.
The corners of the majestic old man's mouth opened slightly, and the senior officers who surrounded him looked at Drake on the lookout in unison.
Drake, who instantly realized that he had been exposed, did not panic at all.
A strange pitch-black crack suddenly appeared on Drake's body, and along the crack that ran through Drake's body, countless tiny cracks quickly extended.
Drake on the lookout shattered like glass under the gaze of the other party, and then was blown by the sea breeze on the lookout, scattered into a gray-black powder, and disappeared into the air.
"That guy is the four-star Shadow Assassin Drake Fury. A tall officer looked at Norman and said, "Marshal, please stay away for the time being." ”
Marshal Norman was not a man who liked to expose himself to risk, and he nodded without hesitation. Accompanied by a team of nervous-looking guards, they soon left the front line of the battlefield.
And then he died.
This three-star imperial mage, one of only five marshals of the Royal Navy, stretched out his hand in the last moments of his life, as if he wanted to hold on to his life. Then, in the midst of the surrounding guards, it turned into a bubbling mass of viscous liquid.
Deep Five-Star Shadow Bond - Death Gaze: When the number of members of this bond is two, the member of the non-tethered core will gain the Eye of Chaos (number of uses), and the non-Shadow target stared at by the Eye of Chaos will die directly. When there are more than two Shadow Races at the same time, the Tether will automatically spread. At this point, whenever more than a quarter of the Tether members die, the random member will gain an Eye of Confusion (one number of uses).
When a non-Nexus Core member uses the Eye of Chaos, there is a 99% chance that the Eye of Chaos' backlash will disintegrate.
After Drake killed Norman Rockwell with the Eye of Chaos, he was apparently attacked by the Eye of Chaos. But he certainly wouldn't trade his life for the life of the so-called Royal Marshal.
Fury Four-Star Shadow Bond - Chaos Golem: Each time a Shadow Race joins the Bond, the Core Bonder will have a Chaos Golem, and each Chaos Golem can take a lethal damage to the Core Bonder. At the same time, a random member enters a rampaging state, and the member in the rampaging state is immune to all controls, and the damage taken is doubled.
Drake's figure reappeared on the deck of the Black Sails, and he could clearly feel the surging shadow power in the cabin.
Countless huge figures emerged from the sea, and the shadow sea monsters that stepped on the shore began to let out a deafening roar.
Norman's death directly disintegrated the imperial bonds that shrouded the Imperial soldiers, and their defense line forged with flesh and blood was instantly destroyed by the Shadow Sea Monsters.
With the loss of the power of the bond, the mid- and low-level commanders, who realized what was happening, panicked uncontrollably. Courage also began to drain rapidly from the soldiers.
Victory was on the horizon, but until now, Drake still didn't know why the Shadow Sect would launch a frontal assault on the Equitena Empire. The empire will not be devastated by the fall of this northern legion, and the enraged Nepos will not only hunt down the Shadow Cultists throughout Ekadna, but will also gather a large legion to expel the Shadow Force that has invaded the northern borders of Ekadna, and the Shadow Church will not be able to fight the powerful Imperial Legion through the landing sea monsters.
。。。。。。
The moment he walked out of the Ice City, Yades finally felt the true charm of the polar region. Edwin, who remained in human form, could not block the influence of the climate, and Elysée chose to set off immediately, and the moment he left the city, Yades and his party were surrounded by a raging and howling blizzard. Completely unable to see in front of him, Ades could only stand in front of him in the blizzard, and he couldn't see anything in front of him at all, and he was able to resist this severe cold, relying on his great resistance to the cold after transforming into a dragon.
"Take my hand. ”
Gently holding the hand that Severia handed over, Yades wanted to open his mouth and sigh, but ate a mouthful of snow.
And so the journey began.
