Chapter 351 - Battle Between The Ships
-Meanwhile, somewhere in the sea between the border of the North Kingdom and Imperial Empire-
In the day broad light calm sea, two ships were fighting at each other. Unlike the average ship that threw cannons and arrows, each ship was attacking with various magical attacks.
Not far from them there was a land, the land was so strange with each of the parts having its own climate. Half covered with storm snow while the other side was seen only a barren land.
The calm water has turned savage with many ship planks were seen floating in the water while some human burned bodies carried along with the wave.
One ship carried an emblem of the North Kingdom with many soldiers and mages on the decks. All of them were made from the deck to the hull with top-notch black aged wood quality added with various banners, indicating a ship sent by the kingdom.
The people from the kingdom looked at the opposite ship with hostile gazes as if they had killed their precious person.
They then threw a group of fireballs, shooting at the opposite ship who looked shabby with only its bigger size as an advantage.
*boom*
Instead of damaging the ship, yet the fireballs suddenly stopped in mid-air, hitting and touching a faint golden barrier that protected the people ten inches away on the shabby ship.
One by one the fireballs instantly exploded like big fireworks with their remaining fire scattering around the area, some fell and evaporated the water while the others were burning the surface of the faint golden barrier.
The people on the shabby ship let out a breath of relief upon seeing the faint golden barrier still intact and protected them from harm.
"Keep supplying the barrier!" A woman's voice was heard. She looked gorgeous with her long robe that revealed chest parts, she was standing with her arms on her waist watching the opposite ship with a hint of guilty.
She had a mature demeanor with her long black hair fluttered and rhyme with the breezing wind. Her lip smacked upon seeing the red eyes from the woman on the kingdom ship.
"Swordsman throw the weapons!" Standing beside her was a handsome middle-aged man with a muscled body and looked at the ship from the kingdom with a frown. He commanded the men on the ship with his hands pointed at the newly created metal spikes.
When compared to the ship from the kingdom, their ship looked very shabby. It did not have a quarter-deck, with many barrels filled with various food ranging from bread to vegetables.
The hull already had some broken parts while its mainsail had several small holes, disturbing the sailing speed. There were only more than ten people were left on this ship.
"I'm sorry about your master!" the beautiful woman suddenly apologized. Her thin and pink lips then began to mutter, creating a magic circle above her head that faced vertically at the ship from the kingdom.
Every single energy around the sea was sucked into her magic circle, making each of the circles become bigger and look dangerous.
"Use all of your energy!" On the other hand, on the kingdom ship, a woman with a military dress and blonde hair was seen furiously yelling at the people with the robes below her.
Her expression turned dark upon seeing the slow reaction on her people, her pale red lip also began to mutter something, summoning many magic circles that were hovering in the air.
"Advance Spell: Element Burst!"
Many fireballs with a size twice than human body emerged from behind those magic circles. The fireballs instantly shot at the shabby ship at full speed.
Unlike before, the number of fireballs right now was more than fifty, engulfing and filling the entire blue sky with red heat, even causing the surrounding water to evaporate and produce a cloud of mist.
The moment those fireballs came to interact with the faint golden barrier, a loud booming sound was heard with the surrounding mist starting to spread and block their vision to see the situation.
The moment those fireballs were created, the blonde woman who cast those spells fell with her knees on the deck. Her complexion paled and she weakly breathed.
"Master Witch," Many soldiers immediately came to help her, but she refused them and then slowly stood while holding the long small pole.
"Expert Spell: Magic Break!" A yell was heard from the direction where the shabby ship was located.
"Expert spell..." When the soldiers and the mages from the kingdom heard, they were in disbelief and secretly glanced at the blonde woman.
"Expert spell... so you've been hiding your power the whole time!" the blonde woman snapped with a hoarse voice. Her eyes were bulging while glaring at these mist.
Suddenly, many small shadows could be seen, coming from behind the mist and heading to their location.
"Raise your shield!" The moment one of the solider that seemed to be captain on this ship saw the shadows, his expression turned solemn and he immediately went to the blonde girl, raising his shield that covered her.
*stab*
*stab*
*stab*
The blonde woman did not even blink when she saw a spike of metal land and pierced the deck beside her. " Leona and her family, I can't believe they are acting all of this time!" Still with many spikes attacking the ship, the blonde girl muttered.
She was Noel, the disciple of late Grandmaster Weston. In the past few months, she and the rest of her subordinates have been chasing Leona and her family.
After a few minutes, the attacks stopped. The captain then put down his shield and glanced in the direction of where the shabby ship located," Master, they have been sailed away. "
Noel kept looking at the ship that was slowly turning into a small shadow, "Check every person's condition." She spoke and glanced at her people.
Their beautiful and luxurious deck had tainted with many metal spikes pierced through it. Luckily, no one was injured as the soldiers did a good job protecting the mages from the attacks.
Noel then turned around and stared in that direction with many memories flashing in her mind. There was a time where she and Leona were talking and chatting about the future, there was a time where she was asked about her partner candidate.
There was a time where she was discussing about guessing Desmond's girlfriend.
All of them were so beautiful but then the image of the body of her master laying on the coffin made those beautiful images scrambled.
"Master... I'm sorry," Tears poured down from the corner of her eyes that eventually got carried and became one with the sea. She clenched her bottom clothes tightly and bit her lower lip until it bled.
"Master we got bad news! The kingdom is facing a calamity, beasts were seen coming from the west and kept spreading to the rest of the territory! The king has ordered us to return as soon as possible!"
When Noel heard this, she turned around and saw everyone was worried. Their family was in danger and she knew how it felt," Immediately sailed back and used your spell!"
As soon as her words were spoken, those mages immediately chanted a spell, increasing the sailing speed thrice than normal. Unlike when they were fighting with Leona and her family, they did not need to reserve their energy in the case of danger!
