Late at night, there was no wind. The main sail of the Doom had been furled, and the ship lay motionless on the sea.
Inside the captain's cabin, Su Xiao was tallying the casualties among the Cursed Ones and Black-Curse Crows. The cost of taking Shipwreck Island hadn't been as high as he had imagined, but the Cursed Ones and Black-Curse Crows had suffered considerable casualties while besieging the female spellcaster, Ava.
Netherflame Element was an elemental power that Mage Sage Sephilia had spent years artificially synthesizing specifically for combat. Although it wasn't particularly effective against Law-Destroyers, its lethality was still astonishing.
Of the original 400 Cursed Ones, 103 had died in battle, while 5,180 Black-Curse Crows had perished.
During the battle, the Black-Curse Crows had appeared to die in droves, with at least one-fifth of them seemingly becoming casualties. In truth, that wasn't the case. Their numbers were simply huge, creating that illusion. Their actual casualties were less than one-tenth.
The Black-Curse Crows had originally not been intended for combat, but with the War Lord's enhancement, their survivability wasn't weak.
The Cursed Ones, by contrast, had survivability several levels above that of the Black-Curse Crows, yet their casualties exceeded one-quarter. The reason was that the Cursed Ones fought far too recklessly, with no fear of death.
For ordinary soldier-type units, that would be a good thing. But the Cursed Ones were close to elite units in strength. Being excessively fearless would only increase their casualties for no reason.
Lifting the Doom's second-stage seal was already an urgent matter. Only after the second-stage seal was removed would the Cursed Ones' minds regain some clarity.
By then, the Cursed Ones would understand how to cooperate with one another and avoid unnecessary damage, greatly increasing their overall combat power.
