"… What are you trying to do? Don't tell me you're trying to kill me so you can renege on your debt? "
A certain princess who was hanging from a certain person's thigh shouted in shock.
Below her, however, was a turbulent ocean.
"Let go of me! I'm going to fight a battle. How are you going to fight with my thigh?"
"I'm not letting go! Don't even think about reneging on your debt! Don't think that just because you want me to die in an accident, there won't be any evidence. My father is the king of Bair. He's really powerful. Be careful that he won't let you off … Don't kick, don't kick, I'm scared, I'm scared of heights! Daddy, hurry and save me, someone's bullying me! "
The girl's crying background was hanging from the edge of the deck, dragging a certain man's thigh.
The large wooden puppet was slowly getting up. It was at the waist of the two puppets. It was now more than ten meters above the water.
Rorschach felt helpless with his thigh being clung to. He really wanted to kick this person who was affecting his battle, but just as she said, she was still the princess of a mega empire. There would definitely be a lot of divination spells that would lock onto her. If she really died, and later on, someone would really blame him for kicking her to death … Rorschach felt that he hadn't lived enough yet. It would be too stupid to die in this aspect.
Helplessly, he could only lower his head and explain in a soft voice.
"If you don't let go of me, I won't be able to participate in the battle. Look at them … They won't be able to last much longer."
Not far away, Ariel's interference was indeed effective. She successfully lured the obviously absent-minded giant monster away. However, judging from her exhausted appearance, she obviously wouldn't be able to last much longer.
That Blue Dragon and his knight? They were sent flying by a single slap. If they didn't die on the spot, they should be vomiting blood somewhere right now.
Rorschach could tell that Ariel's exhaustion was both mental and physical. On the one hand, she wasn't used to her current battle state and was obviously injured in many places. On the other hand, Dragonization obviously consumed more energy. She didn't seem to be able to last much longer.
This was the result of Ariel not being directly hit.
However, the tentacles of the giant monster lashed out like a reflex, directly cutting through the air, creating a space-splitting wave and injuring Ariel.
Ariel no longer considered the possibility of winning. She just kept flying around at high speed, using the Dragon Breath Silver Fire to attract her opponent's attention.
She was just like an annoying fly, flying around you but unable to hit you. If the giant monster had a higher IQ, she would have ignored Ariel and come over to kill Rorschach. Everything would have ended then. Fortunately, her IQ was not online.
It wasn't easy to maintain the situation, and the gigantic monster was obviously not in its best condition. It was slow and sluggish … The more Rorschach assessed the enemy's strength, the more apprehensive he became. This wasn't an enemy that the few of them could deal with.
Rorschach knew that Ariel wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. Even if he could only stall for as much time as possible, Rorschach had to join the battle. So, he had to solve the problem of his feet first.
"Look, the oceanids are all below. Jump, they will catch you."
"Ha, do you think I'm an idiot? Do you think I can't tell that they were the ones who attacked the passenger ship? Just half a day ago, they wanted my head. Would I be able to survive if I jumped off? "
Ariel had actually seen through everything long ago. It was just that, like Rorschach, she didn't choose to expose him.
"… Didn't you succeed in fooling them already? They were still counting on your underwater development zone. Why did you die? "
"Just because some people believe me doesn't mean that everyone else does. As long as these barbarians aren't clear-headed, I'll die without knowing why. Besides … without the Heart of the Ocean, there won't be any underwater development zone. If they're really smart, using my head to exchange for the bounty from before is probably the best way to stop their losses. "
In a way, Seviala was looking further ahead than Rorschach when it came to her own life. At the very least, this was something that Rorschach hadn't thought of.
Now that she said something like this, Rorschach really didn't know how to kick her down. If she really died below, wouldn't he be considered an accomplice in her murder? That would truly be an endless amount of trouble.
"… Tsk, I should have just kicked her down instead of pretending that I didn't know …"
"What did you say!? I'm telling you, I'm in such a pitiful state because of you … "
"Alright, alright, hold on tight. Don't fall down. Since you insist on coming with me, don't blame me if you die."
Rorschach shook his head and decided to ignore this burden. Since she insisted that it would be safer for her to follow him into battle, then he would just let her follow him. She shouldn't blame him if she died.
"It's about time … Wood God, are you done?"
Rorschach's question was directed at the gigantic creature under his feet.
It was a gigantic wooden humanoid that was made from the original materials of an entire wooden sailboat. It appeared slender and tall, but it was quite heavy. If one looked at it from afar, it would seem that its upper body was a replica of a large Gundam model that hadn't been carefully colored.
That's right, only its upper body.
Its lower body was a boat design that Seviala was much more familiar with.
"… Isn't this my water magic armor? Isn't it supposed to be a foolish design that has no combat advantages and can only be used for entertainment? Why did you still choose such a design concept in the end? "
Rorschach didn't answer Seviala's question back then. Was he supposed to answer?
"I thought about it for a long time. Indeed, it can be used for combat in human form. However, I still haven't figured out how to prevent it from sinking into the sea … so I decided to just make it half boat and half man."
From a certain standpoint, this newly born "Wood God" was actually thanks to Seviala's water magic armor. If it weren't for the fact that he had personally dismantled a water magic armor not long ago, Rorschach wouldn't have been able to come up with a design concept that would allow it to remain on water after transforming. It would have been far too embarrassing if it had directly sunk into the sea after successfully transforming.
But now, not only was its transformation complete, it even had quite a powerful aura. It was a natural-born warrior.
Roxia's face seemed like it was carved out of wood, and his face resembled an asura's mask. The twin wooden swords in his hands were infused with abnormal flames of energy. Only the two empty holes in his eyes were slowly burning with red flames … At this moment, even if Roxia didn't want to admit it, he knew what he had done.
"… This can't really be a type of undead magic, right? Why does it have the symbol of an undead? The soulfire, and this aura, it's so similar to that person's … "
Rorschach had a true high-level intelligent undead by his side. Such an icy and vicious aura was just like the quietly burning flames of the Ocean of Death. How could Rorschach possibly be mistaken?
But there was no point in thinking too much at this moment. The most important thing was to make this "Wood God" possess combat strength as soon as possible.
Just how strong was the Wood God? Rorschach didn't know. He only knew that he had used up all of his mana. If the Wood God didn't have enough power, he would probably really die this time.
A newly born soul would need to adapt to a new physical body. This would require time, but Rorschach didn't have any more time to give this new soul.
