Chapter 581 (2/2)
A weird exchange of fire broke out and escalated rapidly. Round and round of strange attacks were launched from the ice floe platform at the phantom ship—giant bolts from the crossbow of the demon hunter, Y’zaks molten rock, Hao Ren’s plasma discharge, and also Vivian’s massive Lightning Chain and Bat Strike. The phantom ship had felt a great danger from the fierce attack. It tilted its muzzles skyward and began to meet the deadly firepower in a way that did not suit the ship’s purported fighting capability. Numerous huge explosions flared on and over the phantom ship. A large amount of ice flakes and water bust in the air, while the bizarre song of the siren was echoing in the surroundings. The surrounding oceans began to surge as huge waves slammed on the phantom ship. The phantom ship healed its damage with each slap of the waves. Meanwhile, large tsunamis the high of a mountain was slamming in from all sides toward the ice floe platform.
The MDT showed a super huge cyclone was forming in the nearby sea. Once it formed, it might be one of the biggest storms recorded by humankind ever.
The moment was like the looming of a natural disaster. Hao Ren had doubt about the combat effectiveness of the siren, but now he finally realised that this seemingly gentle and harmless creature was equally terrible if she went mad: On the ocean, the storm created by the siren on the sea was no different from the force of nature!
The best way to stop this storm was to destroy the phantom ship before it formed.
Shaqira tried to control the waters around them as much as possible. “Who the heck has agitated her? Who the heck has agitated her?”
Lily quickly became maniacal amid this fighting. She had no long-range attack skill. She waved her Fire and Ice Claws and chopped off huge piece of ice, which weighed several tonnes from the edge of the ice floe platform. Like the giants that attacked Asgard in the ancient time, Lily threw the huge ice chunks at the phantom ship. The force of each throw was no less powerful than a heavy artillery!
An ice chunk hit its target. The second mast on the phantom ship crashed down with a groan of noises dragging along the old and messy ropes and sails with it before they burst into a cloud of mist in the air.
Nangong Sanba shouted amid the chaos. “Don’t take down the platform under our feet!”
Lily was startled. “What?”
Nangong Wuyue rushed up to Lily and froze a huge ice ball out of the seawater. “Your cannonball! I can make enough ice balls for your attack!”
The next second, countless dozen-tonne ice balls shelled the phantom ship at subsonic speed.
The attack of the non-human creatures was so brutal that even though the phantom ship was at a vantage point on the sea, it quickly lost its superiority. After a few minutes of brutal and indiscriminate bombardment, the restoration speed of phantom ship had failed to catch up with the speed of damage, and the tsunami in all directions weakened as the phantom ship continued to disintegrate into water. Finally, as a white flame rose along the waves onto the hull, a tower of fire rapidly engulfed the phantom ship.
Amid the burning white flame, the dense fog on the sea began to disperse, the wind had stopped and the warm sunlight showered down on everyone again.
Nangong Wuyue quickly jumped into the water and spent the better part of the day before surfacing. On her tail was a mermaid that had passed out.
Shaqira and Sorma pulled the mermaid out of the water onto the ice floe platform. Everyone cautiously surrounded the mermaid in a semi-circle. Only Rollie that had just been scared like a chicken went up and sniffed the tail of the mermaid for a long while before she looked up and said, “You’re not going to hit me, are you?”
Hao Ren pulled Dumb Cat to one side, stepped forward, and tucked the hair that covered the mermaid’s face to the sides. “Do you guys know her?”
Shaqira was greatly surprised when she saw the face of the mermaid. “General Vanessa!”
Of course, Hao Ren did not know her. “General Vanaessa? Which one?”
“It’s the Queen’s Guard, the head of royal guards of the Queen,” Sorma said quickly. “How could she… turn up this way? And shouldn’t she be sitting in Nasaton forever?”
