Ivy Beatrice turned her gaze to the four warships locked in fierce combat.
Seeing the changes in the surrounding water, the Northern Federation soldiers on the ship were greatly encouraged and cheered for a desperate battle; while the Shahua fish soldiers were greatly discouraged and were successfully counterattacked by the sailors in just a few minutes, pushing the battle line to the vicinity of the ship's side.
But being driven into the sea meant becoming stewed fish. In this life-or-death situation, the Shahua fish people unleashed their "bloodthirsty ferocity," quickly defeating the still-spirited sailors and storming back onto the bridge.
The number of Shahua fishmen was now much smaller than before. When they pushed the battle line back onto the bridge, they revealed the empty deck behind them, littered with corpses.
Ivy Beatrice has a feeling.
The northerners are about to retaliate.
The next second, the deck of one of the four attacked warships emitted magical fluctuations of spatial teleportation.
More than forty figures appeared behind the Shahua fishmen. They all looked like Shahua fishmen, but they were all wearing armor, wielding heavy swords, and their bodies shimmered with magical light.
As soon as they appeared on the deck, they immediately began hacking and slashing at the backs of their kin.
Almost instantly, the Shahua fishmen's battle line collapsed. Although they outnumbered each other, they were completely confused by the infighting and couldn't distinguish friend from foe. One by one, they fell screaming as they were attacked from both sides.
Sink was somewhat surprised and turned to look at the silent mistress. From the reflection of Ivy-Beate's emerald green vertical pupils, he suddenly realized that all of these New Sawa fishmen originally had red dragon heads.
These treacherous creatures are all red dragons that have transformed into the appearance of Shahua fishmen.
Even so, the fighting power of the Shahua fishmen was not to be underestimated, and they fought for nearly ten more minutes before the first attacked warship was finally completely recaptured.
Ivy-Beate saw the red dragons disguised as sava fish-men take out magic potions for "transformation" and drink them down to maintain their transformation. They then used "Anywhere Door" to appear on the deck of the second attacked warship and began to replicate the tactics they had used on the previous warship.
“That’s all they have to do. They’ve run out of tactics,” she told Sink. “Pass on my orders: bomber squadrons, assemble, dive bombers. You have only one target: the enemy flagship. I have no interest in any deck-fighting. Destroy it; I want to see it sink to the bottom of the sea.”
Chapter 134 Thunderous Strike
Zachasa turned his red dragon-like head and watched intently as the demon swordsmen, disguised as Shahua fishmen, successively recaptured the second and third warships, and then transferred them to the fourth warship.
The last warship was a four-masted behemoth, carrying not only ordinary Saka merfolk but also several Serkera priests. They weren't immediately defeated by the two-pronged attack, and instead saw through the magic disguise of the Demon Swordsman squad, turning back to counterattack and inflicting considerable casualties on them.
"Should we send other warships to reinforce our troops?"
The eldest son of the dragon race, captain, cautiously suggested, "The Demon Swordsman Mobile Squadron has lost nearly a third of its members."
"That's not necessary."
The Red Dragon commander looked at the killing field on the distant deck, grinned contemptuously, and sporadic sparks flew from his nostrils.
"Sharks love blood, and so does our lord."
Zacharsa said confidently, "A few setbacks are nothing to worry about; victory is only a matter of time."
The eldest son bowed deeply: "All victory belongs to the great two-headed dragon, Lord Heslaty."
His attitude greatly pleased Zachasa.
"You know what I like most about the Shahua fish people? Their ignorance."
Zachasa asked and answered himself, “Every time we defeat them, our warships are intact. Because these barbaric fishmen know nothing about shipbuilding. More than ten years ago, when we were sweeping the seas, we encountered the same attacking Shahua fishmen. After a bloody battle and the recovery of our lost ships, guess what we saw?”
Commander Red Dragon burst into laughter.
"The helm was covered in spear marks, and even had the teeth marks of the Sawa fishmen. They probably saw the helmsman using the helm to steer the warship when they boarded, and thought that as long as they destroyed that thing, they could cripple the warship. It's absolutely ridiculous!"
The eldest son's captain couldn't help but chuckle.
Before he could say a few words to make a joke, a dazzling fire suddenly flashed behind him.
The Zacharsa father and son turned around in astonishment, just in time to see more than a dozen streams of fire tearing through the night sky and descending from above. In the blink of an eye, the masts and decks, laden with sails, were ablaze!
The infernal skins worn by the bomber squadron members transformed them into black phantoms in the night sky.
As the lizardman Chasan led the first squad low over Chachasa's flagship, the massive five-masted battleship had already been engulfed in flames!
The mast, now a giant torch, and the burning sails collapsed with a crash.
Flames and explosions engulfed the bridge.
Red dragons have extremely high fire resistance. Zachasa and his eldest son, covered in soot, emerged from the flames just as they encountered the second squadron led by bomber squadron leader Sink.
The eldest son, who was the captain of the flagship, had his golden vertical pupils turn blood red.
He roared and lunged at Sink, who was leading the charge, swinging his greatsword with all his might.
It just missed.
The second squadron's flying skills far surpassed those of the first squadron, with Sink being one of the best among them. He easily sidestepped the blade, narrowly missing the flagship's captain. Then, he and the other crew members nimbly slipped through the large hole burned into the deck and into the compartment below.
The dragons also have wings. The flagship captain missed with his sword, immediately spread his wings, turned around, and followed the second bomber squadron into the cabin.
Zachara roared, "Come back! You fool!"
But his eldest son did not listen.
The flagship captain, who had followed the bomber crew below deck, watched in horror as those black phantoms flew at breakneck speed, spewing streams of fire in all directions, turning everything in their path into a sea of flames. They flew straight to the bow of the warship, burning a large hole through it before flying out.
He roared, but he just couldn't catch up with them.
These guys fly so fast and are so agile!
At that moment, many sailors on and off the ship didn't even have time to scream before they were engulfed in flames and turned to ashes. A few quick-thinking sailors rushed to the ship's side and jumped into the sea from the deck and portholes to escape.
But they forgot one thing.
Previously, each warship had dumped large amounts of quicklime balls into the waters around it.
The boiling sea, which had cooked countless savannah fish and sharks, also burned the diving sailors, leaving them with torn flesh and boiled alive in the seawater.
Ivy Beate witnessed the entire fleet descend into chaos the moment the flagship was attacked.
The four circles that originally surrounded the four attacked warships no longer exist, and numerous warships are heading towards the flagship.
Transformed into the half-red dragon Grandal, she folded her wings and began to dive towards the blazing fleet flagship, facing the returning bomber crew.
She glanced at the savannah fishmen on the last warship.
Disrupted by the flagship transforming into a giant torch, the Demon Swordsman force, which had initially held the upper hand, collapsed before the enemy and was being slaughtered by the Shahua fishmen who had turned into blood madmen.
Just then, the flagship captain was flapping his dragon wings to chase after it upwards when he was met head-on by Ivy-Beate, who was diving down.
Ivy Beatrice kicked his red dragon in the head.
Zacharsa's eldest son didn't even utter a sound, flying back at ten times the speed.
At that very moment, fleet commander Zacharsa was rushing toward the bridge, which was billowing with thick smoke and raging flames.
He couldn't care less about the life or death of his foolish eldest son.
The loyal Jachasa was deeply worried, his mind filled with thoughts of his lord.
He coughed loudly and leaped off the scorched bridge, heading straight for the captain's cabin where the meteorite dragon head was stored. His hand had barely touched the door when a deafening roar erupted, as if something had crashed down, shaking the entire five-masted warship.
The door to the captain's cabin fell off the frame.
Zachasa saw that, amidst the flames and thick smoke, a half-red dragon-blooded creature stood before the massive meteorite head, with its son, who was now motionless, beneath its feet.
"you…"
He stared at her, and after asking only one word, he saw the huge meteorite dragon head rapidly shrink to the size of a fist.
That's "shrinking technique"!
The shrunken meteorite dragon head was then "mind-controlled" by the creature and flew from the ground into her hand.
Zachara was both shocked and furious, and roared as he lunged at the unknown enemy.
But she just waved her hand.
An endless force field of rotating blades appeared before Zachasa and the unknown enemy.
Zachasa abruptly stopped before plunging into the sea of blades.
He watched helplessly as the "blade barrier" rapidly expanded around the creature, almost completely filling the captain's cabin in the blink of an eye. Now, even if Zachara used "Anywhere Door," he couldn't get close to the creature.
The eldest son, lying beneath the creature's feet, was much taller, its length exceeding five feet from the creature's. Its head was instantly pulverized by the force field blades. Blood and flesh were instantly vaporized and roasted by the intense heat of the flames, and Zachasa smelled the pungent odor of burning protein.
Zacharsa knew it was too late no matter what he did.
His eyes were wide with hatred. They were red from the thick smoke, and four blood lines ran down the corners of his eyes.
"Who are you?" he roared through gritted teeth, "Who are you?!"
But the creature remained silent, only tilting its head slightly at him, raising its hand, and gently shaking its wrist.
--goodbye.
The next instant, as the "Advanced Teleportation" was activated, Zachasa trembled as he watched the figure behind the "Blade Barrier" vanish without a trace, leaving him with only the empty captain's cabin and the thick smoke and flames that filled the ship's hold.
Chapter 135 Target: Heisconti
The gentle morning light shone on the bridge of the three-masted sailing ship.
Two reclining chairs were placed side by side next to the steering wheel.
Medusa-like Stéphane was sprawled on the recliner facing the helm, still steering with her feet on the helm while feeding her garish snake hair with snacks.
Ivy Beatrice, in human form and wearing a black bikini, lay lazily on another lounge chair next to Steo. Beside the lounge chair, Gu Xiong and Xiong Gu lay quietly.
The meteorite dragon head lay quietly in her dimensional bag.
Ivy-Beate desperately wanted to retrieve the meteorite dragon head and extract its energy, but she dared not act rashly. The Northern Federation's massive fleet of over two hundred warships was no pushover. Although she didn't know how they had found the Shahua fish-men, she could roughly guess.
Those guys probably have some kind of special sensory ability that allows them to locate meteorites from a great distance.
Therefore, she not only couldn't immediately retrieve the meteorite dragon head from the large sailing ship, but she also dared not teleport back to Blacksail Town to do so. If the fleet could locate the Sawa fish-men's tribe in the vast ocean based on the meteorite, it could also locate the small island in the ocean.
Fortunately, I am a demon, and demons have plenty of time.
As she thought this, she lazily lifted one foot to examine her toenails closely, only to find that they showed no signs of growth.
—Yes, I'm no longer human.
Although she can now freely switch between the six-armed serpent demon and human forms, demons do not age, and their nails and hair do not grow over time.
With a thought, her toenails slowly grew longer, as if they had grown into five sharp claws, before shortening back to their original shape.
Now, her "mortal body" ability has reached a new level, allowing her to fine-tune her appearance anytime, anywhere.
—This is the legendary character customization feature.
She playfully used her mind again to let the magic flow through her skin, muscles, and bones.
So her originally fair skin turned into a healthy, vibrant wheat color; her fiery red hair gradually shortened, becoming a mushroom cut that reached her ears, and then turned black.
She suddenly came up with an even more interesting idea.
Under her manipulation, the emerald green vertical pupils emitted a red light, eventually turning scarlet. The central pupil shrank to a tiny black dot, and three jet-black tomoe spun rapidly within the eyeball. Then, the pupil color faded, turning pale purple, and concentric rings appeared.
"A bag of rice," she said, reclining on the deck chair, gazing seriously at the sky while gently stroking the bear beside her, "How many floors do I need to carry it up?"
The sea breeze blows on your face.
Nothing has changed.
This is only natural; whether you change the shape of your eyes to three tomoe or to the Rinnegan, you only get the appearance, and it's impossible for them to have the corresponding actual abilities.
Steo, standing to the side, glanced at her, whose visibly dejected expression revealed her dismay: "What are you talking about?"
"Gugu" the bear also expressed curiosity about the seriousness of its animal companion.
In that instant, his emerald green vertical pupils returned to normal, and his voice became languid: "Nothing."
Ivy Beatrice felt bored.
She suddenly realized that the only person in this world who could truly communicate with her thoughts was probably the guy she was about to kill.
However, she had no intention of letting that bastard get away with it.
—You bastard, you must die! I'll scatter your ashes!
Then, revealing his snow-white teeth, he grinned at the sky.
—Ha, you've turned into a great demon, haven't you?
—As a demon of the abyss, I have yet another reason to kill you.
Her thoughts wandered freely, and she thought of Patrick, who had provided the information, and now she found herself understanding Patrick somewhat.
As you gain more experience, you'll discover that the world is a giant playground.
Whether it's an absurd coincidence or destiny, the connections between things always have a subtle, peculiar humor, the kind that never makes you laugh.
After pondering all that nonsense for a while, the important thing still needs to be done.
