Volume Three, Blood and Fire, Chapter 213, Sea Monster (2)
In the distance, the sailors of the "Pearl Goddess" saw the patrol ship of the Kingdom of Hydra being easily destroyed by the giant octopus. They were all stunned and sympathetic.
After I came back to my senses, I felt frightened for a while.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a powerful female mage on our own ship who blocked the octopus's perception of the "Pearl Goddess", otherwise everyone on the "Pearl Goddess" would have to go to the deep sea to feed like the sailors of that patrol ship.
Fish.
Everyone turned their attention to Ekaterina, their eyes full of admiration and gratitude.
Suddenly, Yekaterina's face changed drastically as she was about to go back to the room: "No, that octopus is eyeing us and is moving towards us at high speed underwater..."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately became panicked. After all, everyone had clearly seen the fate of the Hydra patrol ship.
Elos opened his extraordinary perception force field and clearly discovered that the giant octopus was swimming under the water at nearly twice the speed of the "Pearl Goddess". It only took a minute to catch up with the "Pearl Goddess".
thing.
But in this regard, Elos was helpless. After all, the deep sea was not a battlefield he was good at.
"Is there any way?" Ilos asked Yekaterina anxiously.
If the "Pearl Goddess" ends up like the Hydra patrol ship, although Ilosu is confident that he can protect Ekaterina, the crew of this ship will be doomed.
Especially the druids of the War Eagle clan. Through this period of close contact, Iloth and Yekaterina have already established a deep relationship with them. Naturally, it is impossible to let them be swallowed by this cold sea water.
"Yes, I want to cast wind spells to blow the sails and speed up the ship, but I can't hold on for long. The violent water element on the sea interferes with the operation of other elemental spells..."
Ekaterina said quickly, while using wind magic, the sails of the "Pearl Goddess" were blown bulgingly.
In an instant, the "Pearl Goddess" sailed forward as fast as an arrow from a string.
The sudden acceleration of the "Pearl Goddess" caught some sailors off guard and fell to the deck one after another due to inertia.
There was only one unlucky guy. He was near the stern of the boat and fell into the sea unprepared.
In this situation, all the sailors could only watch as he fell helplessly into the sea, unable to help him.
When the unlucky man was about to be swallowed by the cold sea water, Ilos, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, picked up the rope on the deck and threw it to the sailor who fell into the sea.
As if alive, the rope quickly wrapped around the waist of the drowning sailor and pulled him back to the deck.
The sailor, who was soaked by the sea water, was trembling all over. He wanted to express his gratitude to Eloise, but his mouth couldn't work, and his two rows of teeth kept trembling.
The "Pearl Goddess" has now reached a speed of nearly forty knots per hour, which is a speed that this ship will never be able to reach in this life.
At this moment, Ekaterina did not dare to increase the output of wind power, because the mast and sails were already creaking and groaning. If she increased the output, she would be afraid that the mast would break and the sails would be broken.
Under Elos' perception, the giant octopus was gradually left behind by the "Pearl Goddess", slowly widening the distance.
Just when Ilos was about to relax, in his perception, the giant octopus suddenly accelerated its swimming speed, gradually shortening the distance away from the "Pearl Goddess".
When it was caught up, there was a time problem, and the "Pearl Goddess" could no longer increase its speed.
"Katya, the octopus is catching up..."
Ilosu's reminder made Ekaterina feel cold: after all, she had underestimated the strength of this giant sea monster.
"Katya, we have no choice but to fight. I need your help!" Elos had a plan in mind.
"Understood!" Ekaterina released the last wind magic, pushed the "Pearl Goddess" away at a faster speed, and at the same time she immediately sat on the deck and meditated.
Just now, Yekaterina forcibly cast wind magic on the violent endless sea, which actually consumed a lot of magic power. During the process, she had to bear the risk of the magic elements being interfered with and the spell failure probability was extremely high.
Fortunately, although the wind spell energy on the sea is not as strong as the water element, it is relatively sufficient and peaceful, so Yekaterina can temporarily get everyone out of trouble.
Now she must frantically absorb the magic power of the Ring of Dominance to prepare for the next battle.
I finally get to fight side by side with my lover!
Even in the midst of crisis, Ekaterina is still full of expectations.
Ilos didn't know the little woman's thoughts in Yekaterina's heart. He was constantly sensing the cold deep sea.
It's just that the violent energy in the deep sea blocked his depth detection. Apart from the giant octopus, he couldn't find anything else at all.
The endless sea has always been a restricted area for exploration by creatures from this plane.
Just when everyone was trembling in fear and silently praying to the Lord God in their hearts, suddenly a huge seaspout set off on the sea in the distance.
"No, that octopus has released a spell, everyone, hold on tight..." Yekaterina screamed and warned everyone.
After everyone firmly grasped the fixed things around them, they had the energy to look intently.
I saw a seaspout connecting the sky and the sea, as thick as a giant pillar supporting the sky, quickly sweeping towards the "Pearl Goddess".
The seaspout swept away in the distance, and a white ravine was drawn on the sea surface by this sudden behemoth.
Captain Martin's decades of rich sailing experience and steering skills once again saved everyone.
When the extremely violent seaspout was about to swallow the "Pearl Goddess", Captain Martin turned to the left rudder and killed it, narrowly avoiding the swallowing of the seaspout.
The seaspout passed by the "Pearl Goddess", and a mizzen mast on the ship became one of its many collections.
Fortunately, the effect of the wind spell cast by Ekaterina was still there, and the power of the ship was still there, so it was not attracted by the strong suction of the seaspout and avoided the wave of the seaspout.
Fortunately, the giant octopus never released a second seaspout. It seems that the seaspout spell is also a relatively limited talent spell for the giant octopus.
Perhaps what this sea monster is better at is its melee combat and strangulation abilities.
After replying, Yekaterina had a plan in mind. After a brief communication with Ilosu, the two of them decided to fight on the sea with a tacit understanding. During this period, the "Pearl Goddess" had to be kept away from the battlefield.
Ilosu held Yekaterina in his arms and jumped towards the sea amidst everyone's exclamations.
Just when their toes were about to touch the sea water, a huge ice floe appeared out of thin air and continued to spread to all sides, freezing the cold sea water around Ilos and Ekaterina into a piece for them to stand on.
Area.
In the violent endless sea, the most indispensable element is the water element. Although other elements are suppressed in this area, casting water spells will undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort.
In particular, the ice spells that Yekaterina is good at are mutated from water element spells. In this environment, coupled with the support of the Ring of Dominance, Yekaterina's spellcasting ability has been improved to a higher level.
.
As the "Pearl Goddess" moved away, Ilosu and Ekaterina felt more and more oppressed by the approach of the giant octopus.
This sense of oppression is not about how powerful this sea monster is, but the sense of oppression caused by the small human body facing a huge monster.
Especially people with macrophobia and deep sea phobia will go crazy on the spot even if they are not frightened to death in such an environment.
With the continuous casting of spells, the ice surface gradually expanded to thousands of square meters, and the thickness reached a giant ice block of hundreds of meters.
At this moment, Yekaterina ignored the pain caused by the overdraft of magic power that spread throughout her body, and continued to increase the magic output of the Ring of Dominance.
The Ring of Dominance stores all the magic power of Ekaterina on weekdays, and it is released crazily at this moment.
Ekaterina's daily practice is very simple: she just reverses the magic power in her body to the ring of control and stores it until the magic power in her body dries up.
Repeatedly, over and over again, not only the magic power of the Ring of Dominance was replenished, but the upper limit of Yekaterina's magic power reserve also continued to increase.
It's just that this kind of cultivation method that repeatedly overdraws magic power is not something ordinary people can endure.
Only the determined Ekaterina can practice hard day after day.
