Chapter 194: The Gate to the Sea of All Living Things
Alka stood at the bow, looking at the stormy sea at the end of his field of vision, which almost completely occupied the entire border line.
He turned around and looked at the people on the deck behind him.
"Everything is ready. The stormy sea area at the entrance is ahead."
They have arrived in front of the exit of the Sea of All Living Beings. In about 10 minutes, they will be pushed into the stormy sea by the ocean current.
They would experience again the same storm they had experienced when they left their home sea before, or perhaps even worse.
Julia raised her hands, a halo appeared behind her, and four fluid-like bandages flew out.
These bandages simply floated out and swayed gently in the air without launching any attacks. Moreover, the color of the bandages was a bit like the starry sky with a little starlight.
Beautiful singing floated out of her throat. This time the singing was no longer a casual humming, but a humming mixed with magic.
These songs flowed along the ribbons, showing a strange power.
Everyone felt that their bodies had become more agile and more stable.
It seemed that the storm could no longer blow them away or sweep them away.
The magic ballad "Welcome to the Sunny Day" grants stability and resists the wind element.
This kind of buff is also effective against Sound of Dawn.
Tell the truth.
It was also the first time that Alka and the others knew that Julia's real profession was a deep-sea singer, which could be compared to a profession like a bard.
They use some special spells and incorporate the power of the spells into the songs using special techniques.
Coupled with the mermaid's unique magical voice and natural singing talent, friendly or enemy troops who hear the music can be affected by the singing.
Therefore, sometimes, even though Julia’s combat power is very strong, her real strength lies in her enhancement and assistance.
It’s just because Alka and the others’ strength has not reached a certain level, the gain is not as important to them as a powerful attacker.
With the added benefit of this ballad, the temporary carvings made by Alka on the hull also began to take effect.
A layer of transparent blue shield also activated from the hull.
"Full speed! We're moving quickly through the storm!"
Alka then jumped off the bow and leaned against the mast to steady himself.
Pororo stood directly at the bow, taking over Alka's position, and he would once again control the power of the storm.
Clear the obstacles ahead for the Sound of Dawn.
This time he will tear through the storm, break the waves, and accept the test of the sea.
Although Alka felt that this was no longer a trial for Pororo.
"Get ready, we're going in!"
Alka said as the Dawn Voice accelerated into the stormy sea.
The strong wind swept around my ears and the thunder sounded again.
They seemed to have returned to the time when they had just left their home sea.
But this time everyone was prepared.
Pororo controlled the ocean current below at the bow, allowing the Sound of Dawn to pierce through the storm as fast as an arrow.
Under his control, the waves in front were pushed to both sides, which greatly reduced the resistance of the ship.
And sharp ocean currents were drawn in the air, cutting through the storm ahead and making the ship go faster.
Julia sang, her music having already been changed.
A strange force was attached to the surroundings, affecting the surrounding waves.
This caused the waves to hit them from behind, pushing them from behind, instead of hitting them from the sides as before.
The deadly waves helped them.
Only lightning struck around them from time to time, and finally struck the ship.
Then it was blocked by the magic shield that had been prepared long ago.
This time, with good preparation, they broke through the stormy sea area very smoothly.
It took less than half a day.
Alka looked at the stormy sea that had been left behind and couldn't help but ask, "Is it my illusion? Why do I feel that this sea is not as violent as the one at the gate of our home?"
"It's not an illusion, it's true." Pororo said standing at the bow.
He is much more sensitive to the intensity of storms than anyone else, and even in his home sea, he often travels through storms.
Although Alka didn't know why the trial of the sea was to constantly face storms.
At this time, Xia Daiti thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because the gate here is not open? Isn't it said that the gate connecting the inside and the outside is actually a storm rift that was forced apart? Maybe they will affect the storm at sea."
Hearing Xiadaiti's idea, Alka nodded. This is very possible.
But it doesn’t matter what the details are.
At this time, Julia and Lucelia, who was sitting on her shoulders, were leaning on the edge of the boat, looking at the stormy sea, seemingly thinking about something.
That sea area is their home. They pass by the door of their home but cannot enter.
No one bothered him.
After all, they were different from Alka and others. They left their homes under pressure.
Alka and others volunteered.
As the sky cleared, the ship's speed slowly slowed down and returned to normal.
Pushed by the ocean current, it moves forward rapidly.
Lying on the deck, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, Jason suddenly said, "Do you think there are sea beasts like the ones in the Home Sea?"
Hearing his words, everyone looked at him strangely.
"Just think about it, there were storms at the gate of the Home Sea, and there are storms here too. So maybe there are sea beasts like the ones in the Home Sea here too? After all, we didn't encounter any in the Home Sea."
“The gate to the Sea of All Living Things has not been opened, and no ships have come out. The sea beasts should also be resting.
According to normal logic, those sea beasts should be able to sense the opening of the gate, or a similar situation, and wait early.
Maybe they knew that the opening of the gate meant that many ships would come out, or maybe they thought humans were delicious?"
Alka thought for a moment and replied.
"Really?" Jason replied, and then gave his own thoughts: "That's right, maybe we passed over its head and it didn't even know it."
As soon as he finished speaking.
An alarm sounded on the boat, and the loud ringing of copper bells made everyone turn their heads and look at Jason.
Jason opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
"Shut up!" A card flew over and stuck to his mouth.
"Everyone, prepare to fight!"
After saying that, Alka controlled the Voice of Dawn and put on the shield again.
"The sound of dawn is moving at full speed, Pororo!"
Following Alka's call, Pororo nodded, immediately jumped to the bow, and then raised his hands high.
The water-like lines on his body lit up, and the sea water below surged wildly, like waves rolling forward, carrying the sound of dawn above and quickly leaving.
Their quick response seemed to leave the enemy somewhat confused.
One after another, silver lines broke out from the water and lashed towards them like whips.
"Bang!"
As these silver lines broke through the sea surface and stretched out, all the gun muzzles opened and all the rock-shaking cannons fired at the same time.
These silver lines were extremely sharp. They whipped over with a sound of breaking through the air, like a silver light. After just a few whips, a large number of cracks appeared on the shield.
The sound of cannon fire caused shells to fly out one after another.
However, all the shells passed through the silver lines and fell into the sea. These silver lines were too thin and the shells could not hit them at all.
He turned easily and avoided the attack of the artillery shell.
An ice-blue, chilly ice bullet shot out and accurately hit a silver thread.
In an instant, the silk thread was frozen in the air.
The one who launched the attack was Jason, who was wearing a glove and raising his left hand.
Seeing that the ice attack was effective, a long blade-shaped coldness was swung out, cutting several of the whipping silk threads.
These silk threads were instantly frozen into ice, forming whipping postures.
At this time, there are only two silver lines left, which can be easily blocked and solved.
But this made Alka frown.
If that were the case, it would be impossible for this kind of sea beast to chase after several ships carrying treasures.
Their attack did a good job of blocking the enemy's actions, but it also seemed to anger the enemy.
The sea surface at the stern of the ship broke open, revealing a large mass.
That was the true form of the sea monster, and it floated its entire body out of the water.
Under the sunlight, it reflects silver light.
It was a creature that looked like a ball of wool, and its size was almost the same as the Sound of Dawn.
The silver lines on its body kept twisting and turning, like its tentacles, countless silver lines shot out and swept towards them.
"Are there so many?"
There were too many silver lines, all coming towards them, and they couldn't stop them at all.
Julia and Jason stood at the stern and continuously fired cold sword blades and ice magic bullets in the direction of the attack.
However, compared to the huge number of silver tentacles, it is just a drop in the bucket.
At this time, a large amount of pink smoke filled out from the stern of the ship and swept past quickly like a wave.
In an instant, all the silver threads were wrapped up and continued to spread forward.
All the silver threads that were touched by the pink smoke immediately seemed to be slowed down by some magical power, and slowly stretched towards them in the air.
It bought them precious time.
Several red cards passed by, penetrated the threads, and landed in the center of the flying tentacles.
The red cards that fell into the center rotated with inertia, and then a large number of fire pillars shot out from the four sides of the cards.
Several cards were activated at the same time, and the jets of fire formed a spiral flame shield as they rotated.
Immediately ignite all the enemy's silver threads that were slowed down and floating in the air.
Not only were these silver tentacles easily frozen, they were also immediately ignited when they came into contact with flames, as if there was something flammable on them.
"He is afraid of fire!" Such information immediately roared out from Alka's mouth.
The large-scale loss of silver tentacles seemed to have taught the enemy a painful lesson, and shrill screams were heard.
The screams of this monster were extremely strange, like a needle scratching a blackboard, and seemed to carry some magic.
"silence!"
The silver ripples swept past again, and the surroundings fell into silence.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sound of Dawn, with the assistance of Polo, quickly escaped from the enemy's attack range.
It can be seen that the monster behind is still struggling in pain on the sea and did not chase immediately.
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Their ship was definitely fast enough and should be able to shake off the enemy.
But they still stood at the stern and kept alert.
"What kind of monster is this? Can it really be considered a sea beast?" Juanlu couldn't help but ask.
This is because the monster's appearance is too strange, as if its entire body is made up of silver threads.
Those silver, silk-like tentacles are fast, extremely sharp, and very powerful.
At this time, the magic shield on the ship was already full of cracks. If they had not blocked it just now, the ship would have suffered considerable damage as the magic shield was destroyed.
"Be careful, something is coming!"
At this time, the monster seemed to be free from the pain, but it seemed unable to catch up, and spit out something from the core of the wrapped silver silk thread.
Groups of creatures that looked like balls of silver thread drew an arc through the air and flew towards their ship.
"Can you still throw a part of yourself over here?"
Looking at the flying object twisting wildly in the air, Jason couldn't help but complain, and then raised his left hand.
At this time, a ball of flaming missiles flew out and hit one of them accurately, igniting it instantly.
This flaming fireball fell directly into the sea.
Chilled blade, blue card.
Both attacks, also shot up into the sky, and began to knock down whatever was flying towards them.
The blue Spiral Water Chain Card specifically flies towards places where there are more individuals. After the explosion, the chains ejected out will drag at least two, and at most four.
Bring the grabbed ball-like monster to the bottom of the sea.
This sea monster obviously has extensive experience in dealing with spell-casting ships, as there are so many of these silver lumps flying over.
A few fish that escaped the net still ended up on board.
However, these silver lumps directly penetrated the magic shield and fell down. How could they not be considered as attacks?
After these things fell onto the deck, they immediately began to twist, shooting out silk threads one after another in the surroundings.
It doesn't seem like a piece of meat, but rather a separate individual, otherwise it would definitely be regarded as an attack.
"Silver Collapse Fist."
Xia Daiti, who had been vigilant on the deck, swung his right fist hard, and a silver light flashed by.
The twisting silver thread object was shattered in an instant, exploding into a large ball of silver threads that floated down from the sky.
All the flying silver threads seemed to have lost their power and turned into individual threads that fell on the deck.
Lucilia was emitting a blood-red aura, and Zero and One who were following behind her also had a blood-red aura.
The three puppets transformed into three blood-colored streams of light and moved quickly. Their petite bodies and powerful strength made their movements extremely agile.
Facing the falling silver ball of thread.
Lucilia and Zero each took one and used the blood-colored aura wrapped around their weapons to cut them open.
However, Yi could not achieve such an effect. The second puppet girl created had the strength of only two spirals.
The strength of these thread monsters that flew onto the deck was actually stronger than the double spiral, but weaker than the triple spiral.
A round ball flew over and helped
Yi exploded the ball of thread in front of him.
It was Juanlu holding the bat.
The batting stick is basically useless to Alka at this stage, as he has too many options in battle.
So he gave the weapon to Juanlu to use, and it seems to be working quite well.
At this time they began to cooperate exquisitely.
Alka and the other two used a large number of long-range attacks at the stern to shoot down those thread-like creatures.
The thread-ball creatures that escaped the net and fell on the deck were left to Xia Daiti and his team to deal with.
As the distance between the ship and the enemy grew larger, the enemy's speed could no longer keep up and they could only watch them leave.
Alka and his men stopped attacking because the last few thread creatures that were thrown over could no longer land on their deck.
As inertia disappeared, they fell into the sea one after another.
They were completely out of the enemy's attack range.
"Finally got rid of it." Alka said with a breath.
Fortunately, the members on their ship are all strong and have enough means to restrict the enemy's silver silk tentacles.
So the shields on the ship had not been broken, and naturally no one was injured.
It's a blessing in disguise.
However, the monster did not seem to have suffered any serious damage. Apart from many of its tentacles being ignited by them, it seemed to be able to do it with ease as it chased them all the way.
Alka could feel that the monster's strength was probably within the second stage.
But it was obviously much stronger than himself, and stronger than Julia gave him the impression.
At least the strength of six spirals or above.
Fortunately, the pink mist limited the attack of the enemy's large group of silver tentacles. If it spread further, it is not known whether it could drag the enemy into the dream.
Let the enemy fall asleep in this situation.
But anyway, they finally escaped.
There are these sea beasts at the doors of both entrances. Alka is very suspicious whether someone has placed these things here on purpose.
Or is it that this sea beast is just very smart and has found a pattern, so it specifically lurks here.
At this time, Porro was still expending a large amount of magic power to control the water flow to move forward rapidly.
It was not until his magic power began to decrease that he released his control over the ocean current.
The sound of dawn is still moving forward at full speed.
The rest of the people were still on guard in various places on the deck.
At this time, the deck was covered with dense silver threads, all of which were left after the death of the thread monsters that were thrown over.
Alka squatted down and picked up a silk thread.
The thickness of this thread is much thinner than the one used by the monster to attack the ship.
These silk threads are just like real threads used to sew clothes, and the silver silk threads used by the enemy to attack and whip are at least as thick as the little finger.
Each swing is equivalent to a powerful whip, and may also have a sharp effect.
Magic power flowed into the thread through Alka's hand.
"Oh, it's actually a spell material. The effect of conducting magic power is very good. It's very tough."
These silk threads are definitely top-quality materials. Looking at the deck covered with silk threads, a smile appeared on Alka's face.
After a battle, at least there are some gains, right? It is much better than returning empty-handed.
"Everyone, help me collect it."
When everyone heard Alka's words, they squatted down and began to collect the silver threads from various places on the deck.
The ship continued to move forward at full speed and quickly left the sea area.
