Whether Saine's vision can be turned into reality involves many factors and is by no means an easy task. →

However, compared to those long-term future plans, the more pressing issue right now is... Cook is about to break down!

As a Level 1 Knight, Cook's power, no matter how strong, is finite.

In a brawl, you can overwhelm him by sheer numbers and sheer numbers.

After all, those Sea Lizardmen were quite strong and fearless.

Cook had already used up a lot of his physical strength and Battle Qi when he maneuvered the sails to pass through the eye of the giant storm.

Many of the blood vessels and scratches on his body were caused by the impact of the storm.

His fierce battle against the Sea Lizardman Chieftain, who was also at the first Life Level, and his siege from all sides by the Sea Lizardmen, have already proven his bravery and strength.

However, as Cook retreated further and closer to the Alchemy Powered Ship, it became clear that his strength was truly running out.

Even the Goatee Old Man slowed down his spellcasting speed.

These Sea Lizardmen weren't just blindly rushing up to their deaths. When they submerged into the sea, the surface of the ocean provided cover, Goatee Old Man's Ice Element Magic became extremely ineffective.

The ocean is a natural barrier for these sea creatures.

Cook, despite his considerable strength, cannot become a match for ten thousand men even when restrained by opponents of the same level.

Similarly, those sea creatures weren't made of clay; otherwise, Saine wouldn't have thought of utilizing their value. →

With a light snap of his fingers, Yuli, a Level 1 Construct Master, appeared behind Saine.

Yuli's face was still quite pale at this moment. The effects of passing through the giant eye of the storm on her were far greater than those on Saine.

Saine was clearly not a man who showed mercy to women. Yuli had been Saine's Soul Slave for some time now, and it was time for her to prove her worth.

The order came from Saine, delivered directly to Yuli from her soul.

The paleness in her face was quickly replaced by determination; among the Construct Master, Yuli was no weakling.

It could even be said that among all the level one beings present, Yuli is actually the strongest!

This is a Nesser Civilization Construct Master comparable to a peak level one, or even Level-2 Creature combatant.

At this moment, four slender necklace pendants hung around Yuli's neck, one of which was inlaid with a ruby, while the other three were grayish-white.

These four pendants are Space Item that Saine personally crafted for her.

After all, the Constructed Magic Puppet of the Nesser Civilization are not small in size, and without specially made large Space Equipment, it is impossible to carry them.

Fortunately, Saine's alchemy skills have not only not declined over the years, but have actually improved.

Creating four Space Item for Yuli to house her Constructed Magic Puppet was not a difficult task.

Inside the four pendants are one of Yuli's original vehicles— the Flame Mark Constructed Magic Puppet —and three other standard-model puppets.

It's unrealistic to expect Yuli's Constructed Magic Puppet to be the same specifications as when they were manufactured.

Because these four puppets were all reassembled from a pile of broken puppet parts.

Fortunately, Yuli possessed some skills in creating and repairing magical puppets; otherwise, Saine would have had to find a way to create new types of magical puppets for her.

A flash of red light appeared, and when the Light Red Constructed Magic Puppet, more than ten meters tall, appeared in the sky, Yuli leaped into the cockpit located in the chest and abdomen of the Constructed Magic Puppet.

Compared to the Poison Fire Green Flame World, the appearance of this Flame Mark Constructed Magic Puppet is somewhat inferior.

Some white and blue special metal parts were forcibly installed and pieced together on its body.

Its feet were also raised considerably because, according to Yuli, the flame generators on the feet of the Flame (brand) Magic Puppet were severely damaged, and she was forced to replace some of the structural parts of other standard golems.

From a combat power perspective, Yuli's Flame Mark Constructed Magic Puppet has definitely been significantly affected.

However, the exact extent of the impact still needs to be tested in actual combat.

This is another reason why Saine ordered her to take action.

As this was her first battle after becoming Saine's Soul Slave, Yuli was full of confidence and did not want to disappoint Saine.

The subtle influence of the Mirach Soul Codex had long since made Yuli lose any resistance or desire to oppose Saine.

She even craves praise and approval from Saine; perhaps just a simple touch would excite Yuli.

It has to be said, those who practice Soul Magic are truly terrifying.

So much so that after studying the Mirach Soul Codex, Saine couldn't help but want to delve deeper into it.

Saine has a certain affinity for dark magic elements, which means Saine is not averse to the rather cold and obscure magical knowledge related to death, darkness, and souls.

Yuli did not disappoint Saine.

Upon entering the cockpit of the Flame Mark, a faint red light flashed, and then the Constructed Magic Puppet, over ten meters tall, transformed into a series of afterimages and rushed towards the nearest Sea Lizardmen bandits.

Yuli's weapon is a Fire Element Energy Sword that Saine personally crafted for her.

As the Light Sword slashed through the air, hordes of Sea Lizardmen were split in two.

Some of the Sea Lizardmen managed to hide below sea level didn't fare any better; their Fire Element Energy Sword even evaporated large amounts of seawater.

The sea was filled with the deep blue blood and a faint smell of roasted meat.

Having just entered the battle, Yuli, as a fresh force, displayed a fierce demeanor that far surpassed that of the exhausted Cook.

Such lethality is truly remarkable.

In fact, Yuli can also use the firepower devices throughout the puppet to expand the results of the battle.

However, the Saine civilization was not as powerful as the Nesser Civilization, and it was impossible for them to produce large quantities of energy blocks to equip these puppet legions.

It's fine to release energy beams occasionally, but if it's used as a regular combat tactic, Yuli's Constructed Magic Puppet will likely become bottomless pits that drain Saine's resources and Energy Crystal.

After all, Saine's power comes from his own Magic Power and knowledge. As for Yuli's power, besides her own Mental Strength, a large part of it actually comes from the Energy Crystal embedded in the Constructed Magic Puppet.

This is due to two different evolutionary paths and civilization systems, and it's impossible to say which is superior or inferior.

However, the Wizard Civilization ultimately won the war, suggesting that the Wizard World was superior.

Yuli's intervention unleashed a Blood Rain and halted the momentum of the Sea Lizardmen's attack on the Alchemy Powered Ship.

Immediately following, the Brown-Robed Magician beside Saine made his move, as did another Level 1 Knight who appeared on the deck, and several other magic apprentice passengers.

This also signifies that the Sea Lizardmen's attack essentially ended in failure!

Faced with such overwhelming firepower, the Sea Lizardmen had no chance of swallowing the Black Ship.

Although this Black Ship may contain enough resources for their kind to survive the harsh winter.

However, the deaths of a large number of Sea Lizardmen also attracted a large number of marine fish to come here to feed.

The reduction in the population size has likely met the expectations of the high-ranking members of the Sea Lizardmen.

The melodious yet slightly melancholic sound of a conch shell came from beside the elderly Sea Lizardman Elder in the distance.

After leaving behind nearly three thousand corpses, the Sea Lizardmen finally retreated.
