"Let my monthly votes advance by one place. Just one place, the requirement is very low …"
Crack …
Salin unfolded the fourth level-five scroll. This time, it was the Ice Strike that he could easily control. Six huge ice blocks condensed in the storm and smashed towards Freddie.
The young Black Iron Blademaster's eyes were bloodshot. He knew that he would not survive. His body rapidly swelled up. Broken blood vessels burst out of his body, and blood spurted wildly.
He used one hand as a sword and slashed in all four directions. Four sword auras with the aura of death and his blood dispersed Salin's magic. This attack was the essence of his lifetime of swordsmanship. Salin's control of the magic that he cast with the scroll was not good to begin with. The sword auras hit his weak point, and he could not adjust it at all.
If he had released this magic himself, he could have continued to control it until the Ice Strike was completed. Now that he had used the scroll, this magic had little to do with him.
Bang!
The Black Iron Blademaster's body exploded from the inside, and flesh and blood splattered everywhere. Salin skimmed over the sea and landed on the huge shell of the Coiled Turtle. His eyes lit up. In the darkness, golden sword auras burst out in mid-air.
Salin jumped into the sea without hesitation. His body was like a boneless mollusk, and he drilled into the abdomen of the Coiled Turtle's shell. The sword light in the air was dazzling. On the side of the ship, Rex saw Freddie floating in mid-air with bloodshot eyes.
"You! All, must, die! " Freddie's voice had a metallic texture. The black iron armor that looked shabby on his body was shining at this moment. Strange flowing patterns appeared on the armor. The patterns seemed to be hollowed out. Golden light burst out from the armor and shot out from these patterns, illuminating the nearby sea.
The companion of the Black Iron Blademaster who was fighting with Silva and Nelis had died. He was shocked. Silva's rod came down, and he was a little slow in dodging, so he had to block it with his sword.
With a poof, the long sword was smashed by the sharp dragon horn on Nelis's rod, and it slid past his shoulder. The Black Iron Blademaster's shoulder exposed his bone. Nelis saw an opportunity. Without warning, a white light shot out from her mouth and pierced into the Black Iron Blademaster's wound.
The wound immediately froze, and the blood did not have time to flow out. Half of the Black Iron Blademaster's body was covered in ice. Shika struck back with his cudgel, and with a deafening cracking sound, the frozen half of the body was shattered by Shika's cudgel. Even God would not be able to save this Black Iron Sword Saint.
Shika's hands did not stop. He turned around and used all his strength to hit the bottom of the watchtower. With a crack, the last watchtower collapsed. Shika picked up his staff and found the crossbow in the fallen watchtower.
This alchemy crossbow was more than three meters wide. Shika grabbed a few spears from the ground and inserted them into the deck to make a simple frame. She held the alchemy crossbow and placed it on the stand. She tried to pull the string with one hand but failed.
No matter how strong she was, she could not pull the string of the crossbow that was fixed by magic.
Freddie flew toward the half-sunken ship, dragging a long trail of golden light behind him.
Rex's expression changed. She was very familiar with Fidget's aura. So far, she had only felt such power from one person — Sephiroth! Gold Sword Saint!
Freddie was clearly not a gold Sword Saint. His power came from his armor. His body inside the armor could not withstand such a powerful force. His bones creaked as if they would shatter at any moment.
Rex had wanted to capture Freddie alive, but now she gave up on that idea. Even though Freddie seemed to be dying at any moment, his face twisted like a metal bar that had been pulled out of shape by a winch, his armor restrained all the brutal aura. However, his armor had restrained all of the tyrannical aura, and Freddie's breath was not short. Freddie even raised his longsword and flew towards him.
All the scrolls in Rex's hands could not stop Freddie. She could only cast level-seven spells at most. Facing the power of a gold Sword Saint, it was like the difference between an ant and a dragon.
The eight bone puppets' huge bodies crossed the mud wall and pounced at Freddie. Freddie's longsword shook, and golden sword aura spread out. Everything within dozens of meters was shattered by the sword aura.
Freddie might not be able to control this power, but he did not need any techniques at all. As long as he fought head-on, Salin and the others were no match for him. The eight bone puppets melted like mud. Freddie had already flown to the bow of the ship. Pointing his longsword at Rex, he asked angrily, "Why?"
"No reason. My surname is Glükos." Rex's expression did not change. A man with the power of a gold Sword Saint was standing less than five meters in front of her. All her spells were useless against him.
"Hahahaha, good, good! So you are from the Qinyin royal family. If I had known, I would have attacked earlier. "
Freddie stood at the stern. The front half of the ship had already sunk into the sea, and the stern was raised high. He looked down at Rex and said, "I won't kill you. I'll capture you and bring you back to the Godly Wind Nation to the emperor. But before I send you up, I want to enjoy myself. You are young, so you must not know what a man is. "
The aura in Freddie's eyes became more and more brutal. Rex sneered. "Why don't you attack? Can't you suppress this power? If you attack, we will most likely die together, right? "
"Yes, but if I die, all of you will follow me to the purgatory. It's enough for me. Three mages will die with me. Hahahaha …" Seeing that he could not fool Rex, Freddie simply laughed out loud. At this moment, he was determined to die. The two Black Iron Sword Saints that he relied on to make a comeback had been killed by Salin and the rest. Even if he could return to the Godly Wind Nation alive, there was no way he could restore his family's reputation, not to mention his territory that had been snatched away.
Hum!
The air vibrated violently, and a huge metal arrow pierced through the air, interrupting Freddie's crazy laughter.
Rex was nervous, but she did not panic. She knew that Freddie's words were just to distract her. This was the most common tactic in a battle between two armies. Rex had learned this from a young age. How could he be provoked by Freddie?
Salin dove into the sea and hid under the shell of the Coiled Turtle. He suddenly felt extremely ashamed. He was the first person to notice that something was wrong with Freddie. He did not rush forward, but chose to escape.
He had already become a Great Mage after all his hard work, but he still had to keep running? The problem was that there was no point in rushing forward rashly. He could not even block a single strike from Freddie.
But he could not just run away like this! Sicca and Neris were still on that ship.
Hiding under the shell of the Coiled Turtle, Salin was extremely anxious. Facing a strong enemy, it was normal for him to retreat. But Freddie was going to deal with the most important people in his life.
Salin had never been so conflicted. If he rushed out, he might be killed by Freddie with a single strike. If he hid, and everyone on the ship died, he would remember this scene forever. Perhaps he would never be able to improve in his life.
If that was the case, what dream was there to talk about?
"Salin, what is your dream?" Rex had asked him. Salin could not answer now. Was his dream still the same as before? As long as he was full and no longer threatened by hunger.
If that was the case, he would rather die!
Salin made a decision instantly. If he could not avoid it, he had to go back and stand with Rex. Freddie was putting his life on the line. He would not let Neris and Sicca go.
Calming himself down, Salin quickly checked the items in the Bestowal Ring. The Devil's Spellbook, five level-five scrolls, and the family crest. In the eyes of other Mages, these items were things that they could only dream of.
Freddie was at the end of his tether. Perhaps he still had a chance.
Thinking of this, Salin first released the two mutated Water Pattern Shields in his hands, letting these two intelligent water balls float beside him. The family crest was sandwiched in the Devil's Spellbook. Holding the Devil's Spellbook with both hands, he stuck close to the shell of the Coiled Turtle and emerged from the sea.
Only when he came out did he realize that the distance between the shell of the Coiled Turtle and the sinking ship was getting further and further away. Lightning shone on the surface of the sea in the distance. Freddie's armor emitted a golden light, which was exceptionally eye-catching.
Salin's Icy Vision activated. Looking at the constantly changing golden light, he began to analyze it patiently.
Freddie could not hold on any longer!
Salin was about to cast Acceleration to get closer to the sinking ship when he saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life. A huge metal crossbow bolt accurately hit Freddie's head. That crossbow bolt was used to destroy cities. Now that it hit Freddie's unprotected head, the golden light on Freddie's body suddenly dimmed. Salin heard Rex's angry roar.
That was Rex's family's secret skill, a skill that specialized in dealing with sword auras.
The huge metal bolt hit Freddie's head, but did not penetrate it. The golden light seemed to be a tangible object, and it blocked the bolt outside of the light.
However, Freddie's armor was not a complete set. His head was the most vulnerable part. Rex's angry roar instantly messed up the power on his armor, and it could no longer provide protection for his body.
The huge metal bolt bounced off, and the sound of his cervical vertebrae breaking came from Freddie's neck. His body was blown away too. Rex lunged at him, his magic robe emitting brilliant light.
The orange-red color had never been so glaring. Salin flew up from the surface of the sea without hesitation, and released six consecutive spells from the Demon Magic Book. Then, he grabbed a handful of scrolls.
Facing the Gold Sword Saint, Rex was braver than him. Salin could no longer wait for an opportunity underwater. Now was the best opportunity. Rex used an extremely unpopular skill. Salin was amazed. He was not the only one who had such a strange idea. As long as one was an outstanding Mage, they would always discover some wonderful uses of magic.
What Rex cast was Fire Wash, which was a dispelling spell. This Level-0 spell became a Level-7 spell in Rex's hands. One had to know that Rex was only a Level-6, but he could upgrade a Level-0 spell to this level. This was even more powerful than the variant Water Ripple Shield he had created.
