Fang Yu gently lowered the control gloves. As the dragon hunter pulled the knife out of the mutilated construct with a dark red glint in his eyes, the latter trembled slightly, and a subtle, tooth-aching, screeching sound came from under the shell.

Fang Ou stood not far from the wreckage. In the dim light, it wasn't the first time he had taken a closer look at the mutilated bodies of these 'creatures' that looked like 'creatures' from beneath the abyss—the Nightmare Furnace—covered in pitch-black metal, growing along the skeleton like tentacles, layered in layers, occasionally revealing a hint of dark red light, but fleetingly, as if there was still magical power flowing beneath the body.

The aesthetic of this thing seems to be very different from the style of this world, or rather, it should not belong to this world in the first place.

This thing seems to have some kind of plausible similarity with the dragon hunter in his hand, and he actually has some vague guesses about the origin of the two, but he can't get a definite answer for a while.

The skeletons of three or two of these things lay in the cabin, and the one in front of him, leaning against the bulkhead, had a black hole in its skull, revealing a gray-white gem—the same one that had been placed under the dragon hunter's helmet.

Fang Ou placed his hand on the cold gem, and seemed to feel a chill through the thick fabric of his glove, but he quickly withdrew his hand, and like the things he had inspected on other ships, there was nothing to gain here.

He straightened up and looked around silently, realizing that he couldn't stay here for long.

But it was at this time that the deck under Fang Yuan's feet shook suddenly, and the originally stable hull seemed to tremble suddenly, as if it had plunged headlong into some turbulent zone. However, the huge capital ships of the Shadow Man are very difficult to be affected by the turbulence in the sea of clouds, not to mention that this is the middle of the battlefield, and they have never moved due to the obstruction of the fleet of the Chosen One.

He was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked in the other direction, where the bulkhead had opened a hole in the previous battle, and the wind above the sea of clouds was pouring in from that place. From there, looking beyond the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield, a dazzling light was blooming from the horizon in the distance.

Like a bright sun, it is rising from the clouds, and its scorching brilliance pierces people's eyes. Fang Yu suddenly realized something, put his hand on the bulkhead, and a translucent cloud wave swept in, crashing into the side of the ship, and in the violent shaking, the scattered objects in the utility room almost rolled to the ground.

But Fang Yu didn't realize it, and the successive flashes of light had lit up the sea of clouds, and he suddenly remembered what it was there - the huge fleet of shadow people was turning, and they had obviously sensed the change in the battle situation on the ground—but in that direction......

In that direction was the fleet of the Jeffrey Redcoats.

Both sides of the war seemed to realize at this moment that the end of the war was coming, and the musketeers of Geflitt resolutely piled up their last chips on the table, and they were desperate to attack.

Intent on delaying the movement of this vast fleet—

Fang Yu felt a little feeling in his heart for a while, the bright and extinguishing flame was like a quiet flowing river in his eyes, and the flash of the river surface only reflected the long history of the two worlds. And some well-known things have always run through people's cognition, there are darkness hidden in people's hearts, but there are also nobles worthy of praise.

Like pride and prejudice, ambition and greed, but also beauty, kindness, and bravery against all odds.

Once again, he let go of his hand and tried to maintain his balance, but the tilt under his feet did not return to its original shape, but intensified further. Everything in the cabin shuddered slightly, and there was a beeping sound, and some of the unsecured shelves were slowly sliding to the other side, and there were noises all around, as if they were coming from all directions from other cabins.

It was a dull, slow footsteps, and Fang Yu was very familiar with those tones—it was the clumsy footsteps of the Nightmare Furnaces, at least a dozen or even more Nightmare Furnace Structures were approaching. He didn't know if he was exposed, but it sounded like not every one of the footsteps was coming in that direction, and some were even fading away.

This was followed by two or three muffled explosions, and the shock wave from the roar seemed to travel down the hull of the ship in this direction. Fang Yu was slightly stunned in his heart, and suddenly reacted to something, this place was not far from the core cabin, maybe it was the movement from the red leaves.

Thinking of this, he immediately pulled out the communication crystal hanging from the necklace pendant from under the neckline, but as soon as he pulled out the crystal, the dark pendant was already dyed with a layer of flashing red light.

Fang Yu immediately pressed his thumb on the crystal, only to feel that the surface of the crystal was slightly hot, but it was not the sound of Momiji coming from inside—it was Kaka's partner, the voice of a girl called 'Six Shadows' in a hurry:

"Captain Ed, they've discovered us......"

"I'm too late to say, be careful......"

The voice stopped abruptly, and the red light above the crystal suddenly retracted beneath the gloomy surface. Fang Yu looked at the crystal and was slightly stunned, in his impression, Momiji and Miss Nightingale were not people who would lose their proportions at a critical moment, one of them was an elite cultivated by the Oak Knights, and the other was a reserve brigade from the Jeffrey Redcoats, so they would not make a fuss because of a trivial matter.

But the tone of the other party sounded like he had encountered some terrible situation.

He held the crystal and hesitated for a moment, Momiji's side seemed to be in trouble as he imagined, but should he go to the rescue now, or simply carry out Plan B alone?

Although listening to Momiji's tone, it seemed that he wanted him to escape, but how could he invade the magic guide cabin alone without cover?

Fang Yu hesitated for a moment, almost unconsciously taking down the goblin from behind him, still planning to try the first possibility. It's just that he had just made this move, and before he could take the first step, suddenly a cold tingling sensation had already arisen in his mind.

It was like a hammer slamming into his head, and the pain was so severe that he almost screamed instantly, and the clockwork goblin in his hand couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground with a 'bang', and his bones rolled out of the way.

In that moment, he felt that he had lost control of his body, as if he had fallen into an endless dark space, and he could no longer feel anything but his own thoughts, only a cold, thunderous voice carved into his thoughts:

"Stop, little one."

Fang Yu suddenly knelt on the ground, his pupils dilated involuntarily, and his face became extremely pale for a while, like a dead man.

This continued for several seconds before he gradually came back to his senses, and the color of blood gradually returned to his face. It was a long time before he opened his mouth, as if he had awoken from a terrible nightmare, and though it had only been for a moment, he was already drenched in cold sweat, as if he had been fished out of water.

What is that?

Who is the owner of that voice?

Fang Yu gasped and turned his somewhat rigid brain, the sudden dizziness seemed to destroy his ability to think like a tsunami, he always felt that there was something wrong with his state today.

But the voice seemed so unfamiliar, neither from everyone around him who was familiar with him, nor from the most terrible enemies he had ever faced, Toragotos, Nicol Bolas, the many evil gods, or even the wanderers.

It was a slightly neutral, nonchalant voice, and his head was buzzing, and for a moment he couldn't even recall the details.

……

The silver light in Bai Xue's eyes gradually dimmed.

There, the light of the fire on the horizon faded away, and most of the voices in the communication channel were becoming silent, as if something was suddenly missing.

Geofflet's red-clad musketeers withdrew from the battle, and as the last clouds cleared and the flames were hidden in the smoke, the fleet that once existed had refracted the last of their will on this battlefield.

But he wasn't the only one fighting his best on the battlefield, the shadow-like behemoth on the battlefield was slowly turning, like a giant beast breaking free from its cage.

The chains that bound it were breaking one by one, and the glittering silver sails and the red sails of blood from the sky above Cloud Harbor were gradually intertwined with everything, but they were also gradually engulfed by the black tide.

Although those people have had conflicts and disagreements with various opinions.

But at least for this moment, they all faithfully carried out that final order.

There wasn't much surprise on the girl's knight's face, she just calmly turned back and asked her herald, "How long will it be on the ground before the battle ends?" ”

But she didn't get an answer, and there stood a slightly reserved aborigine.

The other party was a non-commissioned officer who was temporarily selected from the lower ranks to replace him, because the original backbone had been dispersed to other ships and had replenished the attrition in this battle.

Hikarime, and even Ignatz had long since left, boarded different floating warships, and became temporary commanders, who were not experienced captains, but had to stand up and take charge on their own.

The connection between the fleet and the fleet has been severed, and the fleet is the same with the ground.

The native looked at her with some embarrassment, his young face stained with fire ashes, his chapped lips slightly pursed, but unable to give a useful answer.

“…… On the ground, the city of Elpahim has been stormed...... Miss Snowy, we may be able to win at any time......"

"But ......"

Failure can happen at any time.

Snow lay her hand on the side of the ship, her eyes fixed on the gray-white horizon, the torrent of the Chosen One had poured into Elpahim, and the light of the fire was rising up the three-dimensional city, taking over every block.

But the Shadow Man's fleet didn't stop moving, which meant that victory was far from coming.

It may happen miraculously the next moment, but it may never come.

She turned away, and her tone was understated:

"Then it's our turn."

"What?"

The young herald was slightly stunned.

But Bai Xue did not answer this, the Jeffrey Redcoats have already handed in the answer, and their battle may be meaningless, but this battle is no longer meaningful at this time.

Life or death, fate has never been clearer for the North.

……

The moment the light of the communication crystal in his hand dimmed.

At that moment, the six shadows had already thought of everything, and she resolutely turned around and pushed the dancing xia in front of her out.

After all, she was also a true warrior, and although Nightingale was not as good as the rude warriors who prided themselves on their strength, she was more than enough for a weak alchemist.

She watched the young man of Yuechen fly out directly, rolling into the opposite cabin in embarrassment, still holding the package in his hand, before nodding with satisfaction, and then turned around again.

She held the dagger in her hand, the black blades she had won from a match with the Jeffrey Redcoats, and that was the opportunity for her to join this elite team.

It is also the most glorious moment since she stepped into this world.

She had hoped that she could be like those legendary beings, using the Jeffrey Redcoats as a ladder and finally ascending to the ranks of the highest glory, so that those around her would be impressed by her from then on.

But it backfired, and she was given a somewhat unreliable partner - although the other party is still somewhat famous in this small circle, they have carried out tasks several times, and there will always be some situations due to more or less nonsensical reasons.

Six Shadows has always attributed the reason to this because her partner is always so unreliable, although she has made several requests to the above, but each time she has been rejected without surprise.

This made her hate her teeth more than once - but at the moment she turned around, she unexpectedly remembered the other party again - she couldn't help but think that if she also learned the same two lines as the other party at this time, she would definitely look very handsome?

It's a pity that in the face of the sweeping shadow, she found that she couldn't say a word.

"Abominable ......"

Six Shadows thought through gritted teeth.

The monster was suspended in mid-air, staring at them with a cold gaze, its translucent hand already passing through Momiji's body, causing the craftsman to fall to her knees as if she had lost her soul.

The other party's magic guide was discarded like garbage, and the monster just waved its hand and turned it into a pile of parts.

She didn't know what level of product this thing was, and the cold aura emanating from the other party's body almost made her can't help but lower her head, or subconsciously look away and not look at the other party.

That feeling was even higher than the dragon knights she had encountered, though she also knew that it was almost impossible for the dragon knights in the guild to do their best when they were facing them.

But for some reason, Six Shadows was churning around with this strange thought, and the other party's strength seemed to be far beyond the limits of her cognition—at least in this world.

The shadow swept towards her like a black hole, and she struggled to restrain the fear in her heart, and almost tremblingly raised her blades and threw one of them at the other party.

However, the unthinkable happened, the pitch-black dagger refracted in the other direction as if through a mirror, and then thrust into the bulkhead with a thud.

The girl's eyes widened, and she subconsciously wanted to pull back, she knew that she had no chance of winning, but at least she had to support the craftsman of that moon dust a little longer. But her body had just begun to blur, gradually turning into a shadow, but suddenly, it had returned to its original state.

She felt as if she had been drawn into a very different space, in which there were no elements, neither light nor shadow, but an infinite void all around, as if a natural thought had come to her mind—

Ashes.

Then all consciousness was stripped from her body, and the whole world gradually collapsed under her gaze, and finally turned into darkness.

At the same moment, on the other side of the cabin, Mai Xia actually did not see the whole process of Miss Nightingale being engulfed in shadows.

After all, life and death are just a concept for the Elect. He was born in a top guild like Yuechen, and he had a minimum combat quality, and the moment he was pushed out, he had already reacted to what he was going to do.

He clutched the package in his hand and rolled forward the moment it hit the deck, curling into a ball as best he could to reduce the impact, but he still crashed.

Then he didn't have time to check his condition, and the moment he stopped, he got up groggily, and before he even had time to distinguish the direction, he rushed out with the package in his arms.

He didn't know exactly where the pod was going, but it was pretty close from the information he had gotten so far, and he didn't have time to worry about anything else right now, so it was only right to flee the terrible monster first.

Wu Xia asked himself if he was not a person who was always favored by luck, but this time fate seemed to be rare in favor of him, not only did he find the first way to escape, but he did not run in the opposite direction in a groggy state. And the terrible monster behind him, I don't know if it was for the six shadows to hold back, or for some other reason, all in all, it didn't continue to catch up in the first place.

However, luck was only temporary, and he immediately realized that he was not out of danger, and soon a heavy footstep echoed around him—a voice he knew very well, a nightmare for the filmmakers.

Although he had only just escaped from the tiger's mouth, he seemed to have broken into the wolf's den again, and he seemed to have forgotten about this matter because he was so nervous that he seemed to forget about this thing - this ship was not only the terrible monster from before, but also the nightmare furnace structure that was searching for their whereabouts everywhere.

Wu Xia immediately made an emergency stop, trying to find a way to survive before she fell into a heavy encirclement, and now Miss Red Leaf and Miss Six Shadows are most likely to be more than lucky, leaving him a non-combat professional, not to mention facing the Nightmare Furnace Formation, even those shadow people on the ship who have little combat effectiveness may not be able to fight.

But he still reacted a little slower, and the moment he stopped, two red lights flashed in front of him, and Wuxia subconsciously shrank back almost like a blessing, and two gunshots with two spinning lead bullets whistled past where he had been standing before.

Lead bullets hit the shelves not far away, kicking up two clouds of smoke in the roar. Wuxia coughed loudly twice, but there was already a cold sweat behind him, and his mind turned sharply, and he immediately turned around and fled in the other direction. Before he could take a step, he saw a flash of fire appear in that direction, and the tall silhouette of the structure outlined behind it.

"It's over."

Wu Xia only felt bitter in his mouth, he was enthusiastic before, thinking that he could take on a heavy responsibility, at least live up to the sacrifice of the two ladies, but he didn't expect to break into the net in a blink of an eye.

He reached into the package and took his hand on one of the fire djinn, and though the mission failed, at least he had the determination to die with the monsters.

It's just that Wu Xia didn't have time to input the command to detonate the fire giant spirit in his hand, and suddenly the tall constructor in front of him swept past him with an arrow step, and the sword light in his hand flashed, and the jet black light cut diagonally between the two nightmare furnace constructs in the other direction.

In his shocked gaze, the red light flashing in the eyes of the two nightmare furnace equipment dimmed slightly, and then their heads separated, and they slowly fell backwards.

Then a familiar shadow emerged from the mist and came to him, and Wuxia recognized the other party, it was the mastermind and commander of their operation, the young man known as the dragon alchemist of Van Rik.

It's just that the other party's condition surprised him a little, although the other party didn't seem to be injured, but his face was terrifyingly pale, almost like a legendary vampire, and there was no blood on his face.

The other party seemed to have had a rare serious illness in just a short period of time, not only his face was extremely bad, but his forehead was covered with sweat, and his soft black hair was also wet and clinging to his forehead, which was as white as marble.

The other party could barely stand firmly, and had to rely on supporting the bulkhead to stand in front of him, only raised his head and glanced at him with a somewhat gloomy gaze, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't pronounce a single syllable.

"Ed? Are you alright......"

Wu Xia was taken aback by Fang Yuan's appearance that she was not a ghost or a ghost, she almost forgot about the current situation, and couldn't help but ask subconsciously.

But Fang Yu only shook his head weakly, and gestured to the other party, he was so weak that he was almost speechless, but he could still use his eyes to make the other party understand the meaning he wanted to express:

"I'm fine......"

"I'll leave it to me here, and you can do what you should do."
