Whoosh!

Three small airships about six feet long flew close behind Link. The airships were elliptic in shape, relatively flat. On every possible surface, it was covered in Wind spell formations.

When the three ships positioned themselves behind Link, Lannie ran up to the front-most one and shouted at the pilot, “Get out, I’m taking over this ship!”

Immediately, the ship decreased its altitude until it was about three feet above the ground. It stopped, and the bottom of the ship opened up, whereupon a Yabba jumped out. He immediately saluted Lannie and greeted her.

“Major!”

Lannie gave Link a smile and said, “Link, I’m going to start!”

Then, Lannie started to increase her altitude and got ready to leave.

Link, however, leaped up onto the craft and knocked on the crystal screen. He shouted to the stunned Lannie. “Bring me along, I’ll deal with the Winged Howlers!”

“Okay, hold on tight!” Lannie called back. Then, the airship sped off like a wild horse.

Link held tightly to the frame of the ship. His body was shrouded in the crystal red Dragon Power. The wind buffeted him as the airship continued to climb and increase in speed.

This was the first time Link was experiencing something like this, and he was not accustomed to it. He could only grab on tightly and hope not to fall off.

After about ten seconds, they reached a height of over 300 feet. By this point, Link had gotten used to the feeling, and the discomfort he felt had more or less disappeared. He pointed the Dragon King’s Wrath sword in his hand to a Winged Howler that was preparing to charge a large airship.

“Go for that one!”

Lannie’s piloting skills were great. The moment she heard Link, she immediately angled her airship towards the demon.

The airship drew a small arc in the air, avoiding a few Gargoyles as well as friendly fire from the other airships, cutting a path towards the Winged Howler.

…

Elin was riding on the big airship. Because of the approaching Winged Howler, the atmosphere in the airship became extremely tense.

“Quick, stop him!”

“Continuous fire, block off his approach!”

“No, damn, he’s getting faster; we can’t block him. Brace for impact!”

Although the airship was 240 feet long, against a Level-8 demon, this meant little. Once the demon got onboard, it spelled a disaster for everyone.

This happened many times in previous skirmishes. The Yabbas had deployed 15 airships. Twelve of them were destroyed in this manner, while the other three were safe only because they had escaped fast enough.

Amidst the chaos, one officer aboard the airship suddenly pointed in the distance. “Hey look! Who’s that? A human Warrior?”

Link’s body was shrouded in brilliant, fiery-red light. It was simply eye-catching.

The Yabbas looked over and shook their heads. Elin also looked over. Upon seeing who it was, she was stunned, then excited. “It’s Link! He’s coming over to help!”

“Lord Link?” Isn’t he a Magician?”

The human Warrior on the ship was obviously holding a sword and wearing a Warrior’s robe. His body was extremely built and had none of the gentleness and wisdom a Magician was supposed to possess.

Elin was about to say something when Link leaped from the aircraft towards the demon. The airship that Link was on was originally speeding towards the demon. When he leapt off it, it was shockingly pushed down by the counterforce.

Link’s speed was incredible. He shot across the sky like a burst of lightning. The lightning seemed to strike past the Winged Howler’s body. Instantly, the Winged Howler’s body was cleaved into two.

The commanders on the ship were stunned.

“What!”

“So fast!”

“Unbelievable. What kind of power is this?”

In mid-air, black demon blood sprayed down. Link was long gone. The arc of his jump took him towards another ship. As he landed, he immediately jumped off again, heading for a Gargoyle.

The Gargoyle had no time to react—Link was simply too fast. Link didn’t bother cutting the Gargoyle; he simply stamped down hard on the Gargoyle and leaped off. His target was the Winged Howler far in the distance.

Be that as it may, the Gargoyle still could not take the force. After being stepped on, his body shot towards the ground. SMASH! A huge hole appeared in the ground, from which a dust cloud was spreading out off. Inside the hole, the Gargoyle’s body had already been smashed to pieces.

Link leaped a horizontal distance of about 300 feet before stepping on another Gargoyle and jumping off it. This brought him up to a Winged Howler.

Scree! The Winged Howler screeched. It was a Level-8 expert, and it was confident that it would be able to deal with Link.

Link exploded out with Dragon Power, slashing towards the Winged Howler.

Clang. The sound of a collision rang out. When the Legendary and Level-8 power clashed, the air vibrated strongly.
