Intervention
What's going on?
Just as the mages on the ship were about to fly over the corpse to collect relevant traces, they sensed a tremor beneath the sea.
Something has come up.
"But in this place, these large creatures are basically only..."
Boom!!!
The sea surface seemed to have been blown open, a large hole was instantly torn open in the water, and then it was quickly filled in by the surrounding water. The golden scales of the creature shone brightly in the sunlight, making it difficult for several low-level mages to open their eyes.
"The Deep Sea Golden Dragon is coming!!" a mage shouted.
At this point, ' Lai ' felt the situation was about right, so she directly canceled the activation of the ability of Dragon Clan Instinct, and she could no longer sense other Dragon Clan in the void.
However, given the current location of this Deep Sea Golden Dragon, anyone who isn't blind can see its serpentine shape as it flies through the air.
"No, why would Deep Sea Golden Dragon come here? We haven't cast any special shielding spells on our platform."
"Right? Why? With so many Tier 3 mages on our ship, how dare a Deep Sea Golden Dragon come here?" Many mages expressed their curiosity about this.
The Deep Sea Golden Dragon is a genuine intelligent Magic Creature. Even if it is not classified as an ordinary intelligent creature, the intelligence level of Deep Sea Golden Dragon of Tier 3 and above is recognized by the Alliance.
The current situation clearly does not conform to the nature of an intelligent Magic Creature that seeks advantage and avoids harm. They thought it would be difficult to obtain a device that specifically targets the aura of the Dragon Clan, which is a rare commodity even in the Alliance. Therefore, they did not conceal their aura, but only took simple measures.
Let alone a Deep Sea Golden Dragon, even a stray dog on the roadside would know to avoid a hunter's attack if it saw him leading ten Hound that looked similar to it. Why did this Deep Sea Golden Dragon charge at it on its own?
They didn't know that this was the Deep Sea Golden Dragon's territorial instinct; when other Dragon Clan trespassed into this territory, they would automatically go and drive them away.
Today's situation is clearly different for Deep Sea Golden Dragon.
"One, two, three..."
The Deep Sea Golden Dragon felt its dragon heart stop for a few moments. It had rushed too fast just now, and because these mages had slightly concealed their auras, it was only when it reached this point that it sensed the aura emanating from these little figures.
"Ten third-tier auras... and why did the Dragon Clan's senses fail just now..."
Roar!!!
Upon sensing this terrifying scene, the Deep Sea Golden Dragon immediately roared to the sky, its sound waves even piercing through the clouds above.
The group of mages felt that the sound wave slightly slowed down their movements. Although it didn't interrupt the Channeling Spell, it did increase the channeling time considerably.
"Hurry up, that Deep Sea Golden Dragon is about to escape!"
Since they knew from the beginning that they were going to hunt a Deep Sea Golden Dragon, the mages present naturally made ample preparations.
Lewis gave a soft snort. At this moment, he didn't care about saving face. He was on this ship to make a move, so he reached into his waist and pulled out a long iron chain.
Guided by his magic, the iron chain flew upwards, growing thicker and thicker until it was as thick as the claw of Deep Sea Golden Dragon.
If that were all, it certainly wouldn't be enough to catch the Deep Sea Golden Dragon that was about to fly away.
However, the other mages were also prepared. One mage tore open a long-handled scroll made of precious silk, and a wave that was very familiar to ' Lai ' emanated from it.
It's very similar to the [Wide-Area Vibrating Adhesive Wave] that ' Lai ' used, which is very effective at slowing down enemy movements, but this time it's not the type that increases the range that ' Lai ' learned.
This wave was shaped like a fan, spreading towards the Deep Sea Golden Dragon, and it traveled even faster.
An invisible ripple swept across the scales of the Deep Sea Golden Dragon. For such a large creature, it felt as if its scales were tearing at it, preventing it from moving forward.
This feeling was extremely unpleasant, but what made the Deep Sea Golden Dragon even more uncomfortable was that it seemed the ten third-tier beings behind it were about to attack it.
In that moment of crisis, it knew that it could not escape such a scene on its own, so it used all its strength to rise higher and get as far away from the mages as possible.
And it began to emit frequencies that ordinary creatures could not hear, telling its kind that it was in big trouble and needed its kind to come to its rescue.
The mages moved quickly as well. Five Third Order Mage from the Sword Chant School, who had been called from the Battle Mage squad, leaped out and brandished their longswords in the air.
In just a few seconds, they reached the body of the Deep Sea Golden Dragon, their sharp swords piercing deep into Deep Sea Golden Dragon flesh, their scales offering no resistance.
Just like cutting a fish, five sharp blades moved across the body of the Deep Sea Golden Dragon.
At this moment, the Deep Sea Golden Dragon felt as if its body was about to be cut into six pieces. If it did not struggle, it might die in half a minute.
It strained to rouse its heart, and lightning flashed across its scales. Before the five Sword Chant School mages could react, a violent bolt of lightning struck the Deep Sea Golden Dragon, along with the five mages on its body.
The five mages raised their Sword Dance, blocking the lightning, but they were all blasted apart and scattered in the air. Their next action was very synchronized: they looked up at the sky.
"Not so lucky, it seems another Deep Sea Golden Dragon is coming." A mage from the Elemental School looked at the scene, and the golden dragon shadow reappearing in the clouds.
A normal struggle by Deep Sea Golden Dragon could not possibly have repelled all five mages of the Sword Chant School; this situation only occurred because another Deep Sea Golden Dragon was assisting it.
"Let's go together. If we drag this out any longer, it might not be two Deep Sea Golden Dragon that arrive."
The two mages soared into the air, and at the same time, chains bound the first Deep Sea Golden Dragon. Lewis clearly needed to focus on the spell and couldn't leave.
The remaining two mages, just in case, began casting shield spells. If things went wrong, their shields would be used to cover the entire ship's retreat.
Everything seemed to be going in the right direction. If nothing unexpected happened, the mages would be able to retreat with the Deep Sea Golden Dragon in three minutes at most, and it would even be a living Deep Sea Golden Dragon.
However, accidents are something no mage can predict.
A longsword with a golden gleam pierced directly into the chest of the mage Lewis, and then the sword twisted rapidly at the chest.
The chains in the sky lost their power in an instant, collapsing helplessly onto the Deep Sea Golden Dragon, becoming ethereal and seemingly about to disappear, which would slow down the mage's progress in dealing with the Deep Sea Golden Dragon.
"No, why isn't my Shield Device triggering?" Lewis felt his life slipping away; he was about to become a spiritual entity, while his Shield Device remained completely undetected.
Upon seeing this, the other two mages who remained on the ship immediately cast the shield spells they were channeling. One cast a shield over the entire ship, while the other added shields for the two men.
Lewis was kicked away by the newcomer, and it was at this moment that the mages present finally saw who it was.
"The Srilan Empire." Chachek smiled upon hearing this, then gripped his golden longsword tighter.
Meanwhile, ' Lai ' also received a message from Harbos, and these words exploded in her mind.
"Notify Oinrich."
This is the best method right now, because a large number of mages are currently outside hunting down the two Deep Sea Golden Dragon and may not have time to find out what is happening down below.
At this moment, although ' Lai ' could activate the time reversal on the ship, this would put the mages outside in a deadly situation. Therefore, the best option at this time was to send Oinrich over.
The moment those words were spoken, a fierce wind arose outside the ship, whipping up the seawater and forming a massive tornado that caused the entire ship to tilt. Some low-level mages, unaware of what was happening, fell towards the side of the tilting deck.
Inside the tornado, a flame suddenly rose up, as if to stop the tornado on the spot, turning the entire tornado red, rapidly slowing its rotation, and even causing it to roll back.
This is Harbos wrestling with that Wind Hermit.
The other two Third Order Mage who remained on the ship also realized the seriousness of the situation. They tore open the scrolls in their hands as if they were free, and their magical auras flickered continuously.
Meanwhile, ' Lai ' had just taken out the Communication Device that he had already placed on his person. For some reason, Oinrich hadn't made it a trigger device, but instead wanted ' Lai ' to use the Communication Device to make contact.
This slowed ' Lai's' movements somewhat, but she soon realized why, because she sensed a change in time as she quickly dialed Oinrich's number using the Communication Device.
She wanted to be fast, but her movements unconsciously slowed down. However, ' Lai ' could also sense that this state could not be interrupted in the normal way.
As if time had already anchored this inevitable process, she brought the Communication Device to her ear slowly and deliberately, even waiting for the call to connect after dialing.
She understood that this was something Oinrich had to do after projecting himself onto this ship, but wasn't it a bit too slow?
She watched as the two mages misjudged the situation, activating their shields in the hopes of withstanding Chachek's attack, but to no avail.
"I wear no armor, so you should also refrain from defense."
Chachek laughed heartily. His longsword was slow, really slow compared to a third-tier Physical Profession, but it was still able to pierce through the mages' shields.
He plunged the sword into the chest of another mage, churning inside for a long time, as if to complete a ritual, inflicting a fatal wound that left the mage only able to survive as a spirit.
Seeing that things were going badly, another Third Order Mage tore open a scroll and disappeared in a flash, appearing directly inside the cabin. He was startled and knew he had to hide first.
This attempt to hide exposed ' Lai ' to Chachek's view, and Chachak, seeing the terrifying aura emanating from ' Lai ', sensed something was wrong.
He felt as if he were facing an uncontrollable beast, one that, if released, would tear him to shreds in an instant.
He immediately raised his sword, but the sword did not strike with the same unstoppable force as it would against a mage's shield; instead, it felt as if he were cutting into steel that could not be broken at all.
Just as he was at his wit's end, the Wind Hermit also noticed the situation, and alarms kept ringing in his mind.
Then a resounding call echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
"Use the Warrior Duel, Your Highness."
Chachek heard these words, ' Lai ' heard them, and the mages fighting the Deep Sea Golden Dragon also heard them.
However, none of them could do anything about it; ' Lai's' condition was inexplicably interrupted.
"You should act like a true warrior and not shy away from battle." An ancient voice echoed in ' Lai's' ear.
She looked at Chachek, and he gave her a strange feeling that if she didn't fight him, she wouldn't get anything done.
