485 Ice Lotus Sword Formation (1/2)
”Y-yes, Your Highness?”
The captain responded confusedly before asking, ”how low do you want the airship to fly, Your Highness?”
”Not that low, don't worry. Just low enough to attract the rats, but still out of their reach.” Leon stated.
”Yes, Your Highness!”
The captain complied.
Although the captain did not know what the royal prince was planning, he just needed to follow the prince's orders.
It was not like the prince will get them killed… probably.
”That giant silver wolf wouldn't attack us, would it?” A crewmate gulped while looking at the massive body of the Skysilver Beast King below.
Another crewmate followed the person's gaze and quickly shivered, ”I hope not. It looks very powerful!”
”Of course, it is powerful! That's a Transcendent-level beast, the Skysilver Beast King!” Another crewmate informed.
The two crewmates quickly jumped in fright.
Shortly after, the airship propeller's booming noise quickly attracted the rat tide's attention as they gazed up at the airship, slowly descending towards them.
Squeak! Squeak!
A small portion of the rat tide was quickly drawn over as they began leaping towards the descending airship while the majority continued to rush after the Skysilver Beast King.
Evidently, the Skysilver Beast King's massive fleshly body was more attractive to the hunger-crazed berserk rats than the body of steel flying overhead with few people onboard.
Waves after waves leaped at the airship but failed to come close to the airship as it continued to descend.
After reaching a certain distance from the ground, the captain quickly ordered the crew to stop the descent and hold their altitude.
”How is the altitude, Your Highness?” The captain asked before nervously adding, ”Do we need to go lower?”
”No need.”
Leon shook his head and said, ”It's perfect.”
The airship hovered just out of the numerous leaping rats' reach and looked like the airship was sailing atop the sea of rats.
Squeak! Squeak!”
The endless squeaking made the crew covered their ears as if it was the thunderous weather of the raging sea shouting at them.
Leon leaped onto the airship's side railing, and the Tier 4 Bone Bear quickly flashed into his firm grip before he shot the bone spear at the sea of leaping rats.
Swish—!
The bone spear pierced several rats before he recalled the bone spear with his Divine Will like he was harpooning flying fishes in the sea.
As the bone spear flew back with the caught rats, the black spear flickered into his other hand before he also sent it flying out.
”So, this is rat fishing…” The captain muttered.
Leon stopped at four rounds of rat fishing and piled the dozen rat carcasses in the corner with the other two carcasses on the deck after killing them.
