734 No use for Morale Part 1 (1/2)

The Cloudflow warships on the Separation Sea were not standard naval ships. They had flat bases which stabilized them while attacking, but their speed could not catch up to the three skeletal warships that were escaping.

The winged skeleton felt someone searching. It was a very powerful person using mental strength. The ship had to dive past one-hundred yards down before the feeling disappeared.

The Cloudflows navy's rage was beyond the winged skeleton's imagination. Another ten or so warships arrived and began to surround the medium and small skeletal warships in a circle, intending to destroy them. A black shadow flew from a warship that was almost two-hundred yards long. It seemed to be searching for something in the air.

If the winged skeleton had not dived deep underwater, he would have been able to see this human with the use of death magic.

This was a mage wearing a black robe. On the robe were two rows of magic symbols. It was a grade-8 mage!

Another two gigantic flying magic beasts then flew from the deck. On the back of these two flying magic beasts were two warriors who were clearly upset. These two men caught up with the mage and flew in circles.

”Grandmaster, have you found it?” The two warriors were armed with short pikes. The blades of these short pikes were half a yard long and golden in color.

The grade-8 mage pointed and said, ”Over there, there are three of them!”

The two Cloudflow warriors leapt into the sea and dived underwater. Their bodies were protected by their black sword aura, so even their clothes remained dry. What the grade-8 sorcerer discovered was diving combat vessels. Three diving combat vessels were diving at a depth of about fifty yards. The winged skeleton had wanted to let these three vessels find an opportunity to commit kamikaze.

The magic array on the alchemy ship detected ripples caused by powerful energies. The winged skeleton was filled with regret then. He did not wait for the two Cloudflow warriors to approach the diving combat vessels before ordering the spirits of the dead that were on board the warship to continue diving.

The diving combat vessels shut down the magic arrays and dived straight down to the bottom of the lake. The winged skeleton rushed out of the pan's turtle alchemical boat and quickly hid the three warships. He expended a lot of his mental strength and he could feel his soul flames dim drastically. He dared not stay nor try to fight those two Cloudflow warriors. The sorcerer on top was still looking for him. If he engaged the two warriors, he might not be able to handle the sorcerer's attack at the same time.

The winged skeleton had to take the risk and protect his diving combat vessels because he was afraid that they might be taken by Cloudflow.

The sorcerer in the air immediately realized what the winged skeleton did. Without hesitation, the sorcerer dived into the water. Everywhere around him turned into a swirl of air current that was shaped like an arrow. This swirl of air current increased the sorcerer's speed underwater drastically as he chased after the winged skeleton.

The winged skeleton passed through a teleportation portal and entered the pan's turtle alchemical boat. He did not mind engaging the sorcerer, but he was also worried that the alchemical boat might be exposed and he would no longer be able to use it to spring a surprise attack on Cloudflow in the future.

The pan's turtle alchemical boat immediately dived beyond two-hundred yards and escaped towards the east. The mage did not dare to dive too deep because the two warriors would not be able to follow. The sorcerer could sense that the thick death aura his target carried was disappearing with alarming speed.

The sorcerer came up from the water raging. The two warriors floated up as well.

”Grandmaster…”

”Say no more. Go back and help the soldiers.” The sorcerer was upset and flew towards a skeletal warship. All of a sudden, the skeletal warship shot out more than ten alchemy arrows. The grade-8 sorcerer's face turned stern and a wind dragon suddenly appeared and blew the arrows away.

The sorcerer was now directly above the skeletal warship. He took out his magic staff and a gigantic fireball was sent crashing downwards.

This was the ground-element Guidestar spell and not a Fireball spell. The core of the fireball was heavy and solid. It was more than one yard in diameter and was heavier than fifty-thousand pounds. After an ear-splitting crash, the fireball created a crater that was more than three yards in diameter in the middle of the medium skeletal warship.

The winged skeleton did not know where to run to. This sorcerer's fury knew no bounds and he was venting his anger on these warships that were still launching magic stone artillerie. He had already used up the grade-8 spell in his magic staff, yet he was still not appeased. He began to fly to another skeletal warship.

Three large skeletal warships had already escaped. The remaining warships were made of ordinary materials and would never be able to withstand the fury of the grade-8 sorcerer. The sorcerer cast six grade-8 spells in a row and destroyed six skeletal warships. Finally, he flew back to his own warship.

Once the winged skeleton left, the remaining skeletal warships were no longer commanded by spirits of the dead that possessed intelligence. The way they battled became mechanical and predictable and they were vanquished by the Cloudflow fleet in no time. Even though these spirits of the dead found themselves in the lake after being attacked, they continued to swim towards the Cloudflow warships to attack them.

The Cloudflow navy rarely encountered such situations. The crossbows on the ships began to shoot at the surface of the lake in all directions, but many spirits of the dead still managed to get close enough to the warships to climb onboard. The mages had no choice but to get involved and began the second round of battle.
