Chapter 458: Naval war

The twenty soldiers moved on the flatfish like metallic objects. This is the new puppet Sam made. Although the from the looks it resembled a flatfish. It is far from it. The whole body is tapered and at the front, it is indeed similar to a flatfish, but the rear of the puppet is a bit bulky.

The water seemed to be forming a jet as it made the puppet move on the surface of the water.

Seeing this, a water mage who is traveling on a beast cast a spell and the surrounding water turned chaotic all of a sudden.

But the soldier didn't get flustered, with just a thought, the puppet shot into the air with a water jet coming from below and after reaching a certain height, the water jet stopped and he landed on a normal surface of the water.

For some time, they kept on dodging the attacks. Because they wanted to get used to this. The helmets they are wearing has a glass cover to protect their eyes.

As they moved all over the place with incredible speed, the opponents halted their advance and started battling. Now, the water elemental warriors also started taking aid of water type beasts and are trying their best to take these twenty down.

The Great realm cultivators are engaged with their counterparts, while the Grand realm cultivators did the same.

The Adrian troops clearly outnumbered them, but the battle is still in a deadlock even before they attacked.

All of a sudden, a Grand realm cultivator on the Flatfish puppet leaped into the air with the water jet and started diverting the energy of the energy cells placed in the puppet towards the edge of the puppet, and all of a sudden, a large metallic pike was shot out of the puppet towards the opponent.

The opponent dodged this, but the pike impaled itself into the beast he was riding on. A Shark type beast and the pike didn't stop there, it went through the shark's body and came out from the other side and went deeper into the sea.

The cultivator who was just standing on the beast is still in the air as he leaped too high and he was thinking of landing with the water as a cushion. But he noticed that the attacker who shot the pike is not done yet.

A huge water bullet shot towards them and his whole body lost balance and was about to collapse, but this is not over yet, the attacker shot another pike and it went through the opponent's heart and fell into the sea.

The attacker on the puppet closed his eyes and landed on the sea as the people are watching what he is doing, the saw the pikes which traveled through the sea after impaling their targets returned as they utilized the surrounding spiritual energy from the water and reattached to the puppet. Then only they saw that the pikes didn't come from inside of the puppet's body but from the bottom of it.

They don't how it was possible. But they couldn't care less about that.

Because the person once again went into action.

And soon the Flatfish puppet troops started a massacre.

The opponents are dying one by one.

The people on the two ships wanted to provide cover, but at this moment, the cannons once again launched. But this time, they do not impact crystal shells, rather they are some type of flaming grenades, but of extremely large size.

As soon as they landed on the ship, they started an extremely large flame and the flame appeared to be green.

This is one of the new tricks of the person from the Pharmacy department's poison master. A flammable poison which created some poison flames.

These flames burned the flesh and wood as a normal flame would, but the effects will be completely different than normal. The wood wouldn't be burnt step by step, it would also rot at the same time.

The effect on the flesh is also the same. The flame wouldn't be able to burn a person completely in a short time, but it would definitely cause a burn on the injury, and at the same time, but the pain would be too intense.

Compared to the normal terms, imagine if a normal First-degree burn happened, but the pain is equal to a third-degree pain even in that small space. That was the effect, as the battle is happening the guy who created this is looking at his patent with a grin on his face as he drank wine.

But the most important effect of this is that the flesh will rot from burn and the rot would spread all over its surroundings, based on the severity of the injury.

If a small patch of skin on the shin is burned it would be able to rot the whole let in a day. And before that, they have to find the remedy for that to treat it.

And that would need not only luck but also a lot of expertise in both fire and poison arts.

And the flames are not easily going off even with so many water element users present.

The battle has become one-sided and this made the Adrian emperor frown. He doesn't know what to do. Should he wait or should he make move and start an all-out war? He doesn't know.

The troops of the western continent are considerably less compared to them and this might be a great time for them to deal with this. As for the two ships and the people on it.

They are completely gone. Only the Nascent stage cultivator managed to escape the slaughter.

Adrian emperor felt frustrated and decided to wait it out. He would deal with them when all his troops gathered.

The troops from all over the empire are moving towards this place for the battle. Since the troops are less in this place, he doesn't have to worry at all.

So, he went back and stayed in a temporary tent. But all the ships are ready to move at any given moment.

Meanwhile, the Flatfish puppet troops started collecting the bodies of the beasts and the spatial rings of the soldiers from the bloody water.

No way they would let these things go. All the beast meat can be given to the organization for rewards and there are some students who could exchange it for credits. Sam with the resources in the spatial ring. They could sell the pills to the pharmacy department if they couldn't use it.

One thing they got obsessed with since joining the school is that they would strive for the reward in every situation. They need to get maximum out of it no matter what.

They shouldn't lose any form of payment they could get out of such situations.

After that, both sides didn't make any moves at all, except for the two war ships. They formed a barricade as the starboard side faced the enemy ships and cannons aimed at them, ready to fire at any moment.

But they didn't. It seemed like a defensive measure. They might only make a move when they were attacked.

The time passed slowly

At night.

Even at this moment, the atmosphere is completely tense.

At this moment, what the Adrian troops didn't know is that a door opened at the rear end of the cannon room and the soldier started jumping into the sea. Half of the Flat Fish Puppet troops entered the sea without a sound.

But they didn't float on it. Instead, they took out the new type of breathing device which doesn't include the mask, and wore, and then they changed their standing posture. Their legs are extended towards the outermost end and closed their eyes as they pressed something.

All of a sudden, some metallic clamps came out of the ends and covered the feet and held it together. Then, the bodies of the cultivators fell forward as their chests and abdomen landed on the surface of the puppet and their hands are placed on the front end.

Then some transformer magic happened as the sections of the puppet moved. Some cable like extension cords full of tension appeared like the hands and legs spread along with them. The tension cords are exactly following the limbs and the hands and legs are held by the clamps of the puppet.

The remaining metallic puppet body was attached to the torso while clamped to it.

There is a circular hole on that body and that is the water jet which allowed them to move upwards or maintain a certain level in the sea.

Even the clamps around the hands and legs have smaller jets that are responsible for the forward motion in the surfing mode of the puppet.

On the rear side of the hands, the pikes could be see attached to it. The pikes are not exactly long and are only a little longer than the forearm.

It wouldn't restrict the elbow movement. Even the clamps holding the palms didn't restrict the movement of fingers. Most of the body is exposed to water. So, it wouldn't be fit to call it an armor, but it could be called an exoskeleton.

They dove deeper into the water as they made their move towards the enemy fleet.
