In the blink of an eye, the bay near the port of Gussel was already shrouded in mist.
Brando and the others were already very fast. While keeping an eye out for the thing under the water, they had already flown to the entrance of the bay in a few breaths.
But what made it difficult for them was that the speed at which the mist was spreading was not inferior to the speed at which it was spreading. One by one, the Mist Sailboats were leaving the port at an unusually fast speed. The mist followed them closely and caught up with them in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, two cloud walls rose from the mist and formed the shape of sails. There were four layers on top and bottom, and they crashed forward majestically. Everyone quickly spread out from the left and right sides, but with just a slight delay, the mist surrounded them from all sides.
Brando held the Incirsta Dragon in one hand and stretched out his other hand to release two streams of air, tearing a hole in the mist on the left and right. Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit. Although most of them were not necessarily Elementalists or wizards like Brando, their magic equipment, swordsmanship, or special abilities might have a similar effect.
Quill was held in the middle by two Knight. He took out his longbow and shot a few explosive arrows in front of him. The air generated by the explosions blew away most of the mist. The effect was even better than Brando's spell.
Adney held her sword with both hands and slashed forward. A white blade of light that was dozens of feet long flew out and tore a hole in the mist.
The knights also activated the magic rings or necklaces on their hands. Fireballs, wind blades, and icicles appeared out of thin air. It was very lively. However, the one who stood out the most among them was Phoenix Fire. The little girl carried the will of the Jade Phoenix. She seemed to be holding a burning flame in her hand. Once she attacked, a sea of fire spread out and burned the fog in front of her.
On the contrary, Fang Qi and Mr. Liu, who were stronger, did not make any contributions. The swordsmen of the Nine Phoenix rarely relied on the power of external objects. Except for some special jade pendants and jade talismans, they rarely carried magic equipment. At this time, the two's swordsmanship was obviously useless.
Just like that, with the phoenix's fire leading the way, everyone forcibly opened up a path through the fog. Although the path was visibly becoming smaller and narrower, it was enough for everyone present.
They quickly flew forward along the passage. On both sides, there were ships traveling in the fog. These ships had almost merged with the fog. The parts of the ships that were in contact with the water seemed to be non-existent, leaving only the fog rolling on the surface of the sea. It was as if these translucent ghost ships were moving forward. It was extremely strange.
Even Brando did not dare to approach these ships. The Lost Names were too mysterious. Few travelers who encountered the Lost Names in the wild were spared. In the Black Forest outside the world of Order, many people disappeared silently from the world because of them.
He didn't want to experience what happened in the Deadly Frost Forest again. Although he had some experience, he didn't dare to say that he had 100% confidence in dealing with these things, let alone on the surface of the sea.
"Damn it, look ahead!" Incirsta suddenly shouted from below.
Brando raised his head and looked in the direction he was pointing. He suddenly frowned. The dense forest on the hillsides on both sides of Gussel Bay was covered in fog at some point. The fog rose dozens of feet above the forest and spread rapidly toward the lower bay. In the blink of an eye, it was about to block the entrance to the bay in front.
Everyone's face was a little pale. They could clearly see that the fog that was spreading to the sea would block the way out first.
"Speed up!" Brando no longer cared about the strange thing under the water and said to the others.
Everyone's speed suddenly increased, but Brendel was one step behind. With one hand on Oderfeiss's hilt, he inadvertently glanced down, just in time to clearly see a black shadow sweeping across the surface of the water.
Without saying a word, he directly slashed down with his sword. A golden-red line flashed in the darkness and smashed down into the sea. The surface of the sea instantly boiled and exploded. The black shadow suddenly jumped up from the sea and pounced in Brando's direction.
The water splashed all over the sky, like rain falling down one after another.
In the curtain of rain, Brando could clearly see that the thing didn't have a body, but the surrounding fog naturally outlined its outline. The fog spread out its wings and its shape was a little like a huge manta ray, but no manta ray could fly in the sky. When Brando saw this thing, he naturally thought of Échis' nightmare he saw in the Loop of Trade Winds.
He didn't even think about it and punched forward. The space in front of his fist cracked inch by inch, shattering into a circle of ripples that could be seen with the naked eye. This ripple spread forward and affected the monster like a sound wave. Wherever it passed, the monster would also break inch by inch, and in the blink of an eye, it had been smashed into pieces.
At this time, Brando turned around and the Lines of Law expanded to several kilometers in an instant. The silver line flashed across the sky and swept across the entire Gussel Port like a sharp blade.
Everyone who saw this scene was shocked, including Adney and Quill. Although they had seen Brando in action when he was in Rossaleen, the strength that Brando had displayed at that time could only be said to be alarming, and not as terrifying as what was happening now.
When the Knight saw this scene, they almost stopped in their tracks.
It was a sense of despair that came from the gap between their strengths. In the blink of an eye, a glimmer of hope appeared in these people's hearts, because at this time, someone with such strength was their ally.
Huang Huo clenched her fists in excitement, her eyes shining. Fang Qi covered his mouth, as if he had realized something. For a moment, he looked a little absent-minded.
Mr. Liu was disappointed. He glanced at Huang Huo, then at Brando, and then at Fang Qi. He couldn't help but sigh.
However, Brando raised his sword toward the forest on the west coast of Gussel. The tip of the sword lit up slightly, and a golden line flashed across the night sky, piercing straight toward the gentle ridge line there.
Few people knew that this sword was the real Flash Strike Sword Art. The complete version of the Flash Strike Sword Art did not require the user to move at all. The attack could be done at will. Wherever the user's eyes and thoughts reached, everything would be under the sword's edge.
Like the brightest light of thought in the darkness, it flashed and disappeared.
Unfortunately, no one present even understood it. They thought that Brando had used some kind of magical ability, not a swordsmanship. The bright light left a long visual residue in everyone's vision in the darkness, but they felt that this attack did not have the effect they had imagined.
After a flash of the golden line, it disappeared without a trace in the forest over there.
They looked at Brando, but Brando did not look over there. He turned around and flew in their direction. No one present was an idiot. They already knew that someone was lying in ambush in the direction of the forest, and the underwater thing must have been made by the other party. But as for whether the other party had anything to do with the current Lost Name, it was hard to say.
"Teacher." Huang Huo was a little excited and leaned forward to say something.
But Brando shook his head at her, motioning her not to speak. At this time, the fog in front of the bay had begun to close. If they did not hurry, it would be too late.
In fact, it was already too late. The fog spread to the sea from the east and west, and had begun to seal the entrance. Behind them, the huge fleet in the fog was coming head-on.
"Teacher, you go first. Don't worry about us." Huang Huo finally could not help but say. In the Nine Phoenix, people respected their teachers as if they were their parents. She naturally knew that her teacher had stayed behind to wait for them. If he was alone, with his strength, he would have returned to the ship long ago.
In any case, she did not want to be the one who dragged her teacher down.
Behind her, Mister Liu seemed to want to say something but hesitated. He knew that the future of the Jade Phoenix bloodline could not be lost in this place, but he could not bring himself to ask Brendel to disregard his own safety to help.
Fang Qi, on the other hand, seemed a little calm. He only looked back with a slightly troubled expression. Clearly, he had another way out.
Brando noticed this detail, then shook his head at Huang Huo and said, "Follow me closely. Things have not reached that point yet. I am not so weak that I can't even protect my own students."
"Teacher …"
Adney and her knights had long since fallen into chaos. Although this vice commander was somewhat muddle-headed, she wasn't someone who could remain calm in the face of death. Amongst the group, it was Quill who was much calmer.
"We're dead. What should we do, Quill?" she said loudly, a little panicked.
"Captain, it's not that bad yet. Mr. Brando hasn't abandoned us yet," Quill replied.
"But we've only met him face to face. Do you trust him that much …?"
"I trust in Lord Ra's guidance."
"Martha above, these words sound a little like those old guys in the Holy Cathedral …"
Hearing this, Quill shook her head.
But just as everyone's face was solemn, someone suddenly stared in the direction of the bay and exclaimed, "Ships!"
Everyone followed the sound and looked ahead, only to see the outline of several warships faintly appearing in the fog. At first, they thought it was another fleet of the Lost Names, and their hearts fell into an abyss, thinking that there were pursuers behind and interceptions in front. This time, they were doomed.
But upon closer inspection, they found that the ships were somewhat familiar. Was it not the ship of the Ghost Chariot that was captured by the undead of Madara?
"Oh my God, it's one of us!"
