Chapter 397 The Philosopher’s Stone, Patsy, and the Gattuso Family’s War
Machine
"The torpedo cabin was penetrated and all the alchemy warheads were destroyed!"
The first mate's roar came.
At the same time there was another explosion.
"The third watertight compartment was destroyed and someone was injured!"
the chief engineer yelled.
"It's the Dragon King. The Dragon King is attacking the bottom of the ship!"
The third explosion sounded. Someone heard the familiar melody and immediately recognized where the fiery explosion came from.
It was the King of Bronze and Fire's Word Spirit, Jun Yan. It symbolized the king's anger. Constantine once unleashed this power in front of everyone at Kassel Academy.
There were three explosions in a row, almost causing the Vidal to roll over on the spot.
The Vidal set sail to find the Dragon King. Now they really met the Dragon King, but this ship, which was fully equipped to slay the dragon, had been destroyed in half.
"Damn it!"
Caesar grabbed the walkie-talkie and immediately shouted filial piety.
"Start the engine and accelerate, standing still will become his target!"
Although they met Dragon King Norton before Su Mo, this chance encounter was obviously not so beneficial to them.
They originally wanted to sneak attack Norton. The best case scenario would be to directly attack Norton who was still hatching. Unexpectedly, Norton not only did not form a cocoon, but instead chose to hide and attack them.
Now all three alchemy warheads of the Storm Torpedo have been destroyed, and the most powerful weapon that the Gattuso family spent a lot of effort to obtain is completely scrapped. Now the Vidal is basically facing the Dragon King Norton with bare hands, and only some conventional weapons are left.
.
Could Norton be defeated using these conventional weapons? Caesar did not know.
But he knew that what they should consider now was how to get rid of Norton's attack, otherwise they might not be destined to slay the dragon.
Under Caesar's command, the Vidal's engines roared and moved forward in a zigzag pattern.
"Where are the sonar and infrared detectors? Check the target location!"
Caesar shouted to his second officer.
"...They're all gone. They were either torn down or the lines were destroyed by the explosion just now!"
The second officer said with a pale face.
Not only did they lose the weapons to deal with the enemy, they themselves became blind, and most of the equipment they were proud of was destroyed as soon as they encountered it.
"...We misjudged our opponent. The Dragon King himself was once a human, and he knows how to deal with human weapons!"
Caesar took a deep breath.
The opponent he faced was different from the Dragon Quest he imagined. As the textbook said, the dragon kings are intelligent life forms, not beasts, and they also know tactics!
Now the Vidal is running like a wild horse, but they don't even know where the enemy is.
Was the Dragon King thrown into the river before, or was it...
"Caesar, why do I feel that the Dragon King didn't leave at all?"
Fingel said tremblingly.
"Why do you say that? Did you see anything?"
Caesar immediately asked, Fingel was the only one who had seen clearly what the Dragon King looked like, and his opinion was worthy of reference.
"No, it's not a clue, it's mist...don't you think this mist is a bit abnormal?"
Fingel prompted.
After hearing what he said, Caesar noticed that there was indeed something wrong with the surrounding fog, a bit too dense.
It's not early morning or evening now, so it shouldn't be that easy to fog.
He immediately looked at the water surface and found that the fog began to rise from the water surface, and there was a faint heat, indicating that the fog was caused by the evaporation of the river water.
"It is the King of Bronze and Fire, who heats the water of the river!"
Caesar immediately guessed the cause of the fog and was startled.
"Norton's still on board!"
At the current speed of the Vidal, if Norton was not on board, it would be impossible to heat such a large area of water in an instant. These fogs have been following the Vidal, forming a route, indicating that the source of the fog is on the ship.
The worst premonition was realized. No matter how damaged the Vidal was, it was still a strong fortress. But if the Dragon King was not outside the fortress but inside the fortress, wouldn't they have to fight the King of Bronze and Fire in close combat?
This is a much more dangerous situation than at Kassel Academy.
At least there are nearly a thousand students in Kassel Academy, as well as powerful S-class students like Su Mo and Eriki Uesugi.
Thinking of this, Caesar took a deep breath and continued to give orders.
"All personnel are on alert. Do not attack rashly when encountering strangers. Report to the command podium immediately!"
As he spoke, he picked up the sniper rifle filled with dangerous alchemical bullets and rushed towards the stern of the ship.
Their dragon-slaying plan this time mainly relies on alchemical weapons, and there are not many combatants on the ship. After all, facing the Dragon King, the combat power of ordinary hybrids is of little significance. If they are really reduced to a situation where they fight the Dragon King face to face.
, any defensive measures are useless.
But now, the worst case scenario has emerged, and Caesar does not want to sit still and wait for death.
Caesar shouted loudly as he rushed towards the hull.
"Call for support! Detachment B is attacked by Dragon King Norton, please support Captain Su Mo of Detachment A!"
Although he wanted to compete with Su Mo, the lives of the crew were at stake and they were about to be destroyed by Norton's group. He could not abandon his companions because of personal honor.
"Request received, requesting support from Executive Officer Su Mo, please wait!"
Norma's reassuring voice sounded.
Then, before Caesar could hesitate to go to that floor first, he heard Norma's voice coming again.
"An individual suspected to be Dragon King Norton has been found. He is in front of the last watertight cabin at the stern of the ship. Would you like to enable the navigation service?"
After hearing this, Caesar was overjoyed. In any case, finding the enemy is the first step to deal with it.
"Enable navigation service, I will go to the watertight cabin now and notify others to evacuate!"
"The evacuation notice has been completed, but I suggest you take another route."
Norma said very simply and neatly.
"Another route?"
Caesar suddenly stopped.
Although the task was urgent, he still took the time to become familiar with the ship and had a very good understanding of the structure of the ship.
There is only one way to the watertight cabin, what other route can I take?
His face was full of doubts, but he was not anxious because he knew Norma would not let her go.
"Based on your previous physical assessment, I judge that you can go directly to the bridge. If you want to find Norton, you can see it by climbing up!"
Norma replied calmly.
"Climb up?"
Although Caesar had doubts, he still complied.
He climbed up the bridge in twos and twos and reached a height where he could overlook the stern of the ship. Before he could ask anything, he heard another violent explosion.
"The sixth watertight compartment was destroyed!"
The chief engineer reported again.
Three of the six watertight compartments have been damaged. If one more is damaged, the ship will sink.
Faced with such dangerous information, Caesar did not even have time to reply. At this moment, he stared extremely nervously at the stern of the ship to get the blue-grey figure. That was definitely not the posture a human being should have.
"Student Caesar, I suggest you adjust the angle of your phone's camera. The camera at the stern is broken and I can't monitor the environment there."
Norma said again.
Caesar then suddenly realized.
Norma does not have the ability to investigate on her own. She can only analyze existing data. After the Vidal lost its sensors, it was equivalent to losing Norma's eyes, but Norma also had other eyes, such as inside the ship.
Various cameras installed.
Before, she used the camera to find traces of Dragon King Norton inside the ship. Now that the camera was destroyed by the explosion, she could only use Caesar's mobile phone.
Caesar did not hesitate and immediately obeyed Norma's instructions.
While smartphones provide unimaginable conveniences, they also have unimaginable backdoors. These devices are not defensive against Norma.
"After testing, the appearance of this individual can be compared with Ronald Tang. Referring to the performance of Constantine, the King of Bronze and Fire, this individual is Constantine's brother. After analysis, the individual in front of him is determined to be the Dragon King Norton!"
Norma quickly provided the observation results and confirmed the identity.
Caesar had already liberated Kamitachi at this time.
So he could hear Norton's heartbeat like a war drum and his extremely familiar singing voice.
Yanling·Junyan!
If he is allowed to destroy another watertight compartment, the Vidal will inevitably sink.
Without any room for hesitation, Caesar fired three consecutive shots at Norton with high-risk alchemical bullets with red primers.
"Hugh! Hugh! Hugh!"
The moment the sniper rifle was fired, Jun Yan's power also exploded!
With the Dragon King's control over the spirit of speech, the time required for chanting is infinitely close to zero.
"boom!"
The fourth violent explosion broke out, and Caesar's heart sank.
Not to mention whether his bullets can cause damage to Dragon King Norton, even if they can, the fourth watertight cabin will be destroyed by the explosion, and the Vidal still cannot escape the ending of sinking.
Although there are not many people on board, several lifeboats have been damaged in previous explosions and there are not enough lifeboats now.
Not to mention, there is a dragon king watching around, and even if you get on the lifeboat, you will be hunted down by the dragon king one by one.
Just when he was worried about this, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Next to Dragon King Norton, there seems to be a human heartbeat!
And the explosion sound this time is a little strange!
Caesar's eyes suddenly widened.
At this time, the smoke dispersed, revealing the situation at the confrontation.
The stern of the ship where Dragon King Norton is located is in tatters and may break away from the hull at any time, but the fourth watertight compartment is almost intact.
Immediately, a familiar voice appeared.
"Ahem! As expected of His Majesty the Dragon King, his hasty attack is so terrifying!"
Wearing a white suit, a man with one eye that was icy blue and one eye that was eerie gold was half-kneeling on the ground, coughing out a little blood from his mouth, and his tone was still cold.
"Patsy!"
Caesar was immediately overjoyed.
It's Patsy's Dustless Land, he blocked Norton's King Flame!
Although Percy's Dustless Land realm was directly destroyed by Jun Yan's power, he kept the watertight cabin, so there was not much sound of broken metal in the explosion.
As if hearing Caesar's voice, Patsy looked back at him and shouted respectfully.
"Good afternoon, Master."
His voice was not loud, but he believed Caesar could hear him.
With the style of the Gattuso family, how could it really be possible to throw Caesar in and take risks?
It doesn't matter if Schneider doesn't arrange members of the execution department for them, they can also arrange trustworthy people to go in.
It is true that Passi is Frost's secretary, but at the same time, he also has another name - the war machine of the Gattuso family.
Being able to withstand the king's wrath, Percy's strength was indeed beyond Caesar's expectations. Even if the defense effect of the Dustless Land was extremely good, this level of defense strength was already higher than that of an ordinary A-level hybrid.
However, as a defensive Yanling, he couldn't hold it back in the next moment. This performance seemed a bit different from that of S-class Su Mo and Eryi.
At the critical moment, Caesar didn't think too much. Although Patsy blocked the blow, his life might be in danger at any time.
He must be rescued!
Caesar rushed over with all his might, threw away the sniper rifle in his hand, and pulled out the Desert Eagle from his waist.
Simply comparing weapon performance, the power of the Desert Eagle is naturally not as powerful and accurate as the sniper rifle.
But the two Desert Eagles in Caesar's hands are different. Each of its magazines contains a bullet.
A bullet that was roughly polished and as brilliant as a red gem.
——Philosopher’s Stone!
"stop!"
Without any hesitation, relying on his shooting talent and the corrections of the Kotaku Kamaita, Caesar directly fired a bullet made of the Philosopher's Stone, aiming at Norton's chest.
As the result of materializing spiritual elements, this is one of the few weapons that can have a fatal effect even on the Dragon King!
The crimson bullet spun through the air and shot towards the Dragon King's heart.
However, before reaching the target position, a huge splash of water was seen at the stern of the ship.
"boom!"
Dragon King Norton dives!
There was no time to feel happy. At the moment Norton dived into the water, Caesar saw very clearly the cold and angry look cast by Dragon King Norton.
It seemed to contain a volcano that was about to erupt, and it was the rage that was going to bury them all here.
What kind of hatred is needed to make this dragon king so angry?
Is it because of the death of his brother Constantine?
Caesar couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart.
What he didn't know was that Norton's weakness was actually anger. He couldn't control his violent temper, and anger was a common occurrence for him.
The anger just now was probably just because he was forced to retreat by a mere human being, so he became angry!
He has become a second-generation species, and now he is still suffering at the hands of humans. If Jormungandr knew about this, wouldn't he laugh to death?
"Are you okay?"
Putting aside the shock at Norton's eyes, Caesar helped Patsy, who was half kneeling on the ground.
"It's okay, young master, don't worry about me."
Percy shook his head and slowly stood up.
"What to do next? I also have a Philosopher's Stone warhead in my hand, but the Dragon King has already entered the water. It will be difficult to hit him again."
Caesar has used a philosopher's stone, which fell to the bottom of the river and cannot be recovered for the time being. Passy also has one in his hand, and they have two more chances.
After the alchemy warhead was destroyed, the remaining two bullets were their only remaining weapons that could pose a fatal threat to the Dragon King.
"Don't worry, he will definitely come back!"
Recalling Norton's angry eyes, Caesar shook his head.
It was a look that determined to wipe out all of them. With this thought, there was no need to worry about Norton escaping.
Not to mention, Norton originally had the absolute advantage, but now he is the prey of this game.
What they should be worried about now is how to survive Norton's pursuit.
"How long until S-class Su Mo and the others arrive?"
Caesar suddenly asked on his mobile phone.
"The Monyach has arrived at full speed. Judging from the current speed, it will take at least seven minutes!"
Norma gave the answer.
In other words, they still need to hold on for seven minutes before Su Mo arrives.
