Chapter 8: The Sword of Illusory Light
Outside the cabin of the Sea Angel, it was like a rare storm.
Wet from the waves, Aisha stood on the upper deck of the cabin, with the ship's guards, who were maneuvering with the Kraken. Even if he could only use the "Golden Thorn" on his right hand, at this moment, the only magician Aisha was still the most effective combat power on the ship. The captain was a middle-aged man with a lot of experience, and the sailors at the helm, under his precise command, kept the Sea Angel from the Kraken's fierce attacks and did not damage the passenger ship, but with the guards' shotguns, they couldn't do anything with the behemoth.
Something is very wrong.
The bullets of the shotgun were like crazy seabirds, and they were thrown into the sea one after another, splashing up columns of water, and between these columns of water, there was a strange shadow that kept moving rapidly. Although they were still awake, all the guards and sailors were extremely nervous - what the hell was going on? Why did the Kraken chase after them? There could be nothing on their ship worthy of the Kraken's desperate efforts!
The young sorcerer girl stood at the back, struggling to hold on to the railing with her left arm, the sails had been folded, the raging sea breeze danced desperately with her long orange hair, and her petite figure looked as fragile as a fallen leaf in the wind and rain. But it was her appearance that brought hope to the crew.
"I'm a magician, leave the monster to me!" she had promised so confidently.
The brightest light in the barrage was the magical flame that erupted from Aisha's hand. The magic pistol doesn't need to be reloaded, all it needs is precise control of the magic - but how long can such a young girl's magic last?
It's not okay to get rid of that monster without doing so.
Faced with this monster growing in the sea, the calm captain did not choose to flee in a straight line. The Sea Angel deftly detoured, giving Asha the opportunity to shoot magical flames onto the Siren's octopus claws. It's just that if you compare speed, the "Sea Angel" may not be the opponent of this monster in the sea. But whenever the magic flame came into contact with the sea water near it, the instantaneous rise in the temperature of the sea made it cringe, and it seemed that the heat was very painful for it.
Finally, the "Sea Angel" and the Kraken that retreated from time to time opened a distance, and the captain gave an order, and the "Sea Angel" crossed an astonishing arc and moved forward at full speed like a flying fish. Aisha clung to the railing, the magic flames in the muzzle of her gun bursting into brilliant brilliance one after another on the storming waves, preventing the Kraken from catching up.
Just as they were about to escape from the Kraken, suddenly, the hull of the ship shook violently, and a muffled sound sounded in the bilge.
The guard's face immediately changed, and at the same time, the speed of the ship slowed down significantly.
"It's our magic drive!" The experienced captain frowned without waiting for a report, "I'm afraid I've been attacked by that guy!"
"What?"
The sailors panicked. Once the magic drive is destroyed, the speed of the whole ship will slow down very quickly! it will be impossible to escape from the Kraken, and worse, the cabin will probably be flooded!
"Damn monsters, why do you have to mess with us?" one of the sailors clenched his fists fiercely.
Aisha turned her head and looked through the window at the command module—her face was a little worried under her wet mess. But she turned sideways, raised her weak left hand, and made a gesture to everyone that was okay. Immediately, she once again concentrated her magic power among the golden thorns. The rapidly condensed flames pierced into the sea like spears, and the kraken beneath the surface of the sea trembled, scorched by the hot water, and flipped to the ground.
The Siren, with most of its body out of the water, stretched out its long claws again, and this time, it was clearly aimed directly at Aisha! The strong and powerful octopus claws slammed through the metal railing behind the ship, and the glass behind the command cabin shattered with a thud, and the whole ship tilted uncontrollably.
"Shoot!"
With the order of the captain of the guard, in an instant, a dense range of shotgun bullets hit the kraken's claws and its fish-like body, and the mist rising in the waves turned into muddy blood smoke in the humid air, however, the huge monster completely ignored the bullets that strafed, it erupted into an astonishing roar of rage, and suddenly stretched out its other paw hidden under the water, and swept several guards out along with Aisha.
As he fell, Aisha raised his left arm with all his might, and the condensed magical cold condensed into a wall of ice with the help of the seawater, and the kraken that wanted to attack slammed into the other side of the ice wall, and it opened its mouth wide in annoyance, and sprayed a column of water towards the ice wall, which made a thunderous roar on the ice wall.
Then there was a thud, and Aisha fell into the sea.
"Hey, hey, hey, Miss Sorcerer!"
The guards on the passenger ship were very watery, and they swam up quickly, and Aisha could swim, but her condition was very bad. She struggled desperately in the water, a bleak red blood spreading from her body, a wound that had cracked open from struggling to surface. The wound from the immersion in the sea was painful, and her vision was blurred by bouts of vertigo, and she couldn't grasp the location of the Siren.
"Hold on! we're here to save you!" shouted a fast-swimming guard, holding out his hand to Esher.
Suddenly, right in front of the guards, the cunning Kraken twisted its slick body, and with one claw it bypassed the wall of magical ice and swept away Aisha. The guards who were only a few meters away from meeting Aisha watched in amazement as the body of the wizard girl was swept into the air by it more than ten meters high, but at this moment-
The Kraken's movements paused abruptly, as if he had discovered something more noteworthy than Essy.
When Ai Xia, who was wrapped in the claws of the Siren, struggled to turn his head, the direction of the "Sea Angel" actually flew colorful stars!
In the next moment, Ai Xia suddenly woke up, that is, it was the Demon Guide Primordial Crystal!
Why there was a magic guide crystal on the deck, Aisha figured it out at once.
"Ivan!"
Aisha shouted as if she had exhausted all her strength--On the shaking deck, a thin gray figure threw a lot of magic guide crystals in the direction of the kraken! The nature of wanting to eat the ogre spirit guide crystal made the kraken instantly excited, it let out a strange scream, and actually ignored Aisha who was holding in the claw, raised a bloody claw that was hit by a bullet, and grabbed it towards the bag of magic guide crystal that Ivan was holding in his arms.
Standing on the deck was none other than Ivan. Seeing the kraken's slippery and disgusting claws, he hurriedly threw out all the remaining magic guide crystals. The Siren's claws flailed wildly, narrowly sweeping over Ivan's head. Ivan stepped back, and as soon as he stood unsteadily, he fell to the ground, and immediately lay down - the claw kept flapping on the metal deck, and the ship shook even more, and many of the primordial crystals fell into the sea.
"No...... You monster, don't touch that boat, your opponent is me!" Seeing this, Aisha suddenly held back her strength and kicked on the Siren's sucker - she couldn't even pull out her arms now, she was so entangled by the Siren that she couldn't use the magic magic weapon. The Kraken immediately noticed her, its disgusting yellow eyes seemed to flicker for a moment, and then it opened its wet, incongruously large mouth.
It changed its attention and decided to solve the small dot on the paw first.
Wrapped around Aisha's claws, it was sent towards its mouth.
......
On the deck of the Sea Angel, Ivan's clothes were soaked with the fishy smell of water splashed by the Siren.
He looked up with difficulty, and in his blurred vision, he saw only the scene he least wanted to see.
That monster, going to eat Aisha?
Elsa is dying, she's going to be eaten by monsters!
The blood in Ivan's whole body instantly became cold and cold.
I heard that his mother, Wendy, was eaten by demons. At that time, Ivan had long since fled. However, because of this, do you want to repeat the original scene in front of his eyes?
He didn't desperately squeeze out of the chaotic crowd just to see this scene! it wasn't for the sake of seeing such an ending that he threw out those magic guide primordial crystals at the risk of his life...... This is a hero, but it's just a hero who can't do his best, but he hasn't been a hero for a long time, God, don't hit him like this, okay?
I couldn't hear the screams of the guards and passengers on the ship, it was useless, and Aisha seemed to have closed her eyes and waited for the moment when the monster swallowed her mouth. How could this be? Isn't Aisha strong? How could she die? She can't die!
Before the Siren devoured Esian, Ivan felt like he was being swallowed by the waves of fear.
However, in the midst of this fear, another kind of emotion, a very simple and complicated emotion, came to the fore -
"Aisha!"
The voice that came out of his mouth was inaudible.
Oh, yes...... He's really trying his best to be a hero, he and Aisha have just met, and they're not familiar with each other at all, just a little sympathetic, and they also think Aisha is quite cute, maybe a little favorable. But, even so, he absolutely did not want to let Aisha die like this! Aisha also saved him, he said that he would send Aisha back, Aisha can't die! She can't die!
The chaotic thoughts rushed through Ivan's mind like a tide of despair, and it was unbelievable that there were so many images that kept flashing in an instant. About Wendy, about herself, and about Aisha......
A very short acquaintance, but left such a clear memory.
It seemed as if 10,000 years had passed, and the Kraken's movements stopped again.
Ivan looked at the terrifying face of the kraken and Aisha who was still clung to it, not realizing that everyone's eyes, as well as the kraken's gaze, were all focused on him at this moment.
A new sun appeared out of thin air, even more dazzling than the sun in the west sky, and the golden light came from Ivan.
As if subconsciously, he got up and put his hand in his pocket. The purse John had thrown at him was radiating a dazzling light that could not be ignored. He hadn't opened the wallet since he got it, because Asha always wouldn't allow him to spend money. But when he opened it, he suddenly held his breath.
It's-
Sword of Illusion, Lightgill. John's ...... Level 7 Magic Wizard!
Aisha turned her head and opened her eyes. She stared dumbfounded at the deck not far away, the golden light suddenly shone, and extremely powerful magical energy instantly emerged, and in Ivan's hand, the dazzling golden light condensed into a huge blade!
Then, with Ivan's movements, he slammed out.
Like the judgment of God, the light that awes the whole world has descended on the heavens under the terrifying gaze of the people. The sharp blade of light cut through the bloody wind and cut through the rolling waves, and the Siren's eyes seemed to freeze in instinctive fear.
Unable to resist, its body froze, and then, neatly splitting in the middle.
There was a deafening roar from the sea, and before Aisha could scream, she fell into the crimson waves.
Fortunately, the guards who arrived quickly recovered from their shock and grabbed Aisha in the churning sea. The crew of the ship also immediately released a lifebuoy.
"What about Ivan?"
As soon as he raised his head from the water, Aisha looked in Ivan's direction. The light was gone, as uncanny as it appeared.
She didn't see Ivan, because Ivan had already collapsed on the deck, and the crew in the cabin was rushing towards him.
