Chapter 764 - Crete Island 2 (2/2)
“It seems like he was up to something, might have guessed we would come here.”
Luke immediately used purification magic.
At the same time, the wizards and priests on the other ships too began to use spells to clear out the mist.
Thanks to that, the condition of the sailors recovered.
‘But this isn’t the end.’
If it was based on a plan, it meant that a lot more were ready to welcome them.
Just as Luke predicted, a second attack began.
Kung-!
“Ugh!”
With a sudden vibration, Auster shook.
Luke and the others who were taken aback due to the sudden sound and tremor, held the ship to balance themselves. A few of them, who couldn’t react, fell to the ship floor.
“What? Did we get stuck because of a reef?”
When Luke was asking, Hwang Bo-sung, pointed to the side and answered.
“Your Majesty, it is no reef! Look over there!”
Looking at the place Hwang Bo-sung had pointed to were huge animals across the current who were approaching the ships and hitting it.
Thud! Thud! Thump!
“Whale?”
“Ugh, these beasts are interfering!”
Scarlet drew an arrow to the whale due to the anger of stumbling on the deck.
Her arrow with aura hit the whale.
However, even after being hit, the whale showed no reaction.
He neither struggled in pain nor moved away, like a machine the whale came back to hit the ship.
“Are they being manipulated by magic?”
“No, it is like an undead whale.”
Luke could jump to that judgment by looking at the whale which was attacking the Song Empire ship of Jo Mimi, which was 20 meters away from Auster. The whales displayed the characteristics of an undead.
The Song Empire battleships fired the cannons to hit the whales.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
The whales which got hit lost their dorsal fins, yet they continued to rush towards the ship as if nothing happened.
Even Auster wasn’t safe. A large whale swam in the sea ready to hit the ship.
However, its lower body was rotten with bones and internal organs hanging out.
“How dare they!”
Just before the huge whale hit the ship, Hwang Bo-sung used Trinity Punch.
The Undead whale was hit and shattered.
Patter!
“Tch, even using the whales to create undead…”
“He really does weird things!”
Philips and the other knights frowned as they saw the rotten flesh and bones fall on the deck.
“But one thing is clear. Arsene is right here.”
At Karen’s words, Luke smiled
“When I hear that, my strength rises.”
Having said that, Luke pulled out the Holy Sword Valiant.
After turning his Aether Globe to Divine power, he struck the sword towards the sea.
Swoosh!
The gold aura which had been condensed at the tip of the sword caused a wave.
As the column of water soared high, golden waves splashed in all directions with Divine power.
Keeek!
Kuak!
The golden waves made the whales that were close to it screech in pain.
The ones in the water melted right away, and those who were in the distance scattered.
“This is it! Destroy all of them!”
Pop! Pop!
At Luke’s command, the battleships of the fleet opened fire at once. The wizards attacked the undead whales.
Soon, the undead whales which threatened the fleet disappeared like a lie.
They were either destroyed or ran away.
Luke sighed as he found out the damage.
“Fortunately for us, there was no human loss of injury since the attack was mainly on the hull of the ship. However, more than 20 ships were damaged and there is water seeping in, so restoration work is under process.”
At the report of Marquis Volant, who served as the captain of Auster, Luke nodded.
The sinking ships were alright, and the transport ships holding the Gigants were safe.
“Hurry up and repair. And don’t neglect the boundaries. We don’t know how the next attack would come.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Hearing Luke’s command, the wizards carefully examined the sky and sea.
However, there were no more raids from the sea, and the fleet managed to arrive safely on Crete island.
