At the same time.
A deep incantation that sounded like it came from the depths of the sea echoed around the Specter Ship. However, it was as if there were really ghosts chanting. The sound came from all directions and it was impossible to find its source.
As the eyes of the second head that represented "Pain" widened, the eerie green light in the eye sockets reached its limit and was about to overflow.
In an instant.
A green, icy ripple spread out from the bow of the ship. Everything within a two-kilometer radius seemed to be dragged into the depths of the water, causing everyone in this area to have a strong sense of suffocation.
From the lowest sailors to the captains of battleships, these powerful Extraordinaries who stood at the peak of Knight, there was no exception.
In the eyes of the soldiers, there were faint ripples in the air, but not a single drop of water could be seen. It was as if the air was still the original air, but at this moment, its nature had been forcefully changed.
However, that sense of suffocation was real and … fatal!
Not only that.
The sense of suffocation caused by [Military Witchcraft: Drowning Spring] not only affected the physical world, it also penetrated deep into everyone's spirit.
It was as if one's entire body had sunk into a cold, calm spring. Even if one's hands and feet were not restrained, there was no chance of survival.
Not only was the ability to breathe deprived, but it was also a sense of helplessness and despair!
The so-called "Military Witchcraft" was different from the usual single-target or area-of-effect witchcraft. The upper limit of each power distributed in this area was not high, and it was almost impossible to kill an Extraordinary of the same level. However, the effect of eliminating the miscellaneous soldiers was top-notch.
It was a powerful witchcraft that was at least equivalent to a Grade 3 Extraordinary Wizard. It formed a direct suppression of all the soldiers of the navy, and no one was immune to it.
"Ugh … Ugh …"
"I … can't … breathe …"
How long could a person last in this state of suffocation?
In this state, an ordinary person's brain would be irreversibly damaged in about three minutes. If they were unlucky, they might become vegetative even if they were saved.
Extraordinaries could probably last longer, but not too long. After all, an Extraordinary Knight's physique was stronger, and their consumption of nutrients and oxygen would only be faster.
One could say that the Fountain of Drowning truly lived up to its name as a military spell. Without a powerful adept of equal strength to counter the spell, there was no way to counter it!
In a very short time, Elvin saw that the Marine soldiers around him had completely lost their fighting power. Even Crail and the others were struggling, and even their faces were slowly turning purple.
Obviously, abrupt suffocation and prepared diving to hold one's breath were two completely different concepts!
Even if the six powerful battleships were in perfect condition, they were now nothing more than decorations.
Elvin's perception was much deeper than ordinary people's. In his spiritual vision, the air was already filled with tiny black water droplets that gradually converged into a spring, quietly drowning everyone.
"No, I have to do something!"
Elvin did not want to just sit there and wait for his death. He endured the feeling of suffocation and quickly raised his alchemy gun. Since humans could not rely on this mutated "air" to float, this "air" should not have the resistance of water.
The "Thorny Golden Rose" could still be used. This was probably the only weapon in the entire fleet that could accurately attack from a kilometer away.
As an acolyte, Elvin naturally knew that only by interrupting the spellcaster could the continuous effect of the spell be stopped.
There was no hesitation.
Bang –
Under the "Assault Mode", a brilliant line of fire broke through the space of a thousand meters and went straight for the flamboyant "Wake Wales" who was standing on the bow of the ship.
The "Specter Ship" that had temporarily lost its ability to "turn invisible" could no longer provide Wake with the "Injury Immunity" service. When he had just reacted, the alchemy bullet had already reached his chest.
Instinctively, he only had time to raise the "Dead Soul Box" that he had been holding in his hands before he was hit in an instant.
Clang –
The bullet hit the black wooden box, but it produced a metallic sound. Under the huge kinetic energy, Wake and the "Dead Soul Box" were sent flying from the bow of the ship.
"Ah, idiot! You idiot, how dare you use me to block the bullet! "
However, it was indeed a creation of God. Hearing the "Dead Soul Box" sound that was still "full of energy", it was clear that the bullet did not have any effect on it.
"What's going on?"
Elvin had already expected that the bullet might not be able to hurt them, but it had already pushed them back. Logically speaking, if they were indeed spellcasters, the effect of the spell should have been interrupted. Why was the feeling of suffocation still there?
"Could it be that this spell was not cast by them at all?"
A blue and white light flashed in Elvin's eyes. Once again, he activated the Spiritual Vision that he had after activating his spiritual energy.
In his unique vision, the "Specter Ship" in the distance instantly changed its appearance. The entire ship was covered in black and green supernatural aura, and these auras were the most obvious at the bow of the ship. Perhaps, it should be described as dazzling!
Since the spell was not cast by a "person", then it must be some kind of high level spell tool. Although he still could not see how this strange spell came about, he had at least one goal. But at least he had locked onto a general target and could give it a try.
"Screw it! Rapid Fire Mode! "
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lines of fire connected together, aiming at the most dazzling supernatural aura at the bow of the ship and bombarding it indiscriminately. Under the premise of not having a specific target, this was already the best method that Elvin could think of.
The first eight shots were fruitless, and the feeling of suffocation was still increasing. The lack of oxygen in his brain made Elvin's vision a little blurry. As he fired mechanically, the hope in his heart kept slipping away.
But after the eighth shot.
Kacha!
It was as if a crisp sound came from the depths of his soul, appearing in the bottom of everyone's heart at the same time. The suffocating feeling suddenly weakened greatly.
"Did I hit it?!" Elvin's spirit was instantly shaken, and the feeling of not being able to breathe at all was greatly relieved. Although it still felt like he was on a mountain thousands of meters above sea level, it was no longer fatal.
He opened his mouth to breathe desperately, and at the same time, he immediately searched through the scope to see what he had just hit.
After his condition was eased, his eyes regained clarity, and he quickly found his target.
Not to mention the pitch-black debris on the bow of the ship, the various figures carved on the bulwark, a vertical sail tied to the bow of the ship, and the charred foremast all had traces of being ravaged by bullets.
However, the most eye-catching part of the ship was the terrifying "bow statue".
On the "bow statue" formed by three heads, one of the green eyes representing the "pain" head had been shattered, and only the other eye was still emitting a faint glow. It was very out of place, and Elvin noticed it at a glance.
"There's something strange about this bow statue!"
The moment he saw it through the scope, his instinct made him pull the trigger again.
Bang!
Kacha!
The other dark green eye shattered.
In an instant, the suffocating feeling completely disappeared, and the sound of greedy breathing was heard. The entire fleet seemed to have been reborn.
"Huff … Huff …"
"Good job! Elvin! "
Paul, who was standing beside Elvin, also regained his vitality and patted Elvin's shoulder hard.
Although he knew that the real bigwigs in the port behind him were monitoring everything here at all times, and it was impossible for them to be wiped out so easily, but if everything had to be done by the bigwigs, what was the point of their existence?
"No —! Bastard, what have you done?
My "bow statue"! "
The infuriated roars of the Box of Dead Souls were clearly audible even to Elvin and the rest of them who were a kilometer away. It was not hard to imagine how infuriated the Box of Dead Souls was after it failed and lost the treasure!
This "bow statue" was different from the "Secret Treasure of the Sea." Although it also had magical power, one was an acquired witchcraft prop, while the other was a natural treasure formed naturally in the sea. The difference between the two was huge.
The most direct observation was that the "Secret Treasure of the Sea" was almost indestructible, but the sturdiness of the "bow statue" depended on its material. Even if it was strengthened by witchcraft, the hardness of the green crystal that made up the eye would definitely not be able to withstand the bullets of the alchemy flintlock!
"Quick! Take this opportunity to get rid of them in one go! "
The commander-in-chief of the fleet was still fearful of the encounter just now. After barely recovering, he immediately ordered the fleet to fire a second round of attacks at the "ghost ship".
The signal light on the flagship flashed quickly.
"Gunner! Reload! "
In the tense and busy atmosphere, no one in the fleet noticed that the blood on the full moon above their heads had become thicker and thicker.
