Sharp sound waves instantly swept across the entire venue. Anluk's movements paused slightly, and the storm that had just condensed also dissipated.
But soon the archbishop turned his head, his eyes flashing with dark golden fluorescence, without any movement, and the white dove seemed to be strangled by the throat, and the sharp sound waves stopped abruptly.
The horrific backlash instantly broke through the witch's mental defenses. The girl's body collapsed and she fell to the ground, spitting blood.
"White Dove!" Johnny quickly stepped forward, helped the little witch up, and checked her condition.
There was also a hint of anger on Lin En's face. Dozens of [Magic Missiles] appeared in the air, and then quickly ignited, turning into countless miniature white phosphorus fireballs, flying towards Anluik.
Three-ring magic——【Holy Barrier】!
Faced with the swarm of fireballs, Anluik did not dare to take them head-on and immediately switched from offense to defense. Even though there was a trace of divine power in his body, his current state did not allow him to continuously use higher-level divine arts, and he could only respond with two [Holy Barriers].
The invisible barrier collided with the exploding fireball and soon shattered, but the second [Holy Barrier] at the back remained strong and blocked the remaining white phosphorus fireballs.
At this moment, Lin En stretched out his right hand and clenched it hard!
The flames scattered around Anluk and attached to the invisible barrier, as if guided by something, quickly gathered together and condensed into a demon's hand made of flames, holding Anluk horizontally in the palm of its hand.
Click...
The sudden change was beyond the Archbishop's expectations. The [Holy Barrier] that had been badly damaged was instantly crushed by the giant flaming hand. As a last resort, Anluk directly released the divine power in his body to fight against the terrible white phosphorus fire.
Lynn and Anluik both gambled the little strength left in their bodies; this one strike would decide the outcome!
The dazzling divine light and the raging fire intertwined, canceling each other out...
At the same time, Johnny, who was holding a white dove, shouted angrily.
"Magic Missile!"
Several magic balls appeared around the girl, spinning and shooting towards the archbishop.
Under normal circumstances, Anluk would not have taken such weak magic seriously. However, the [Magic Missile] that came flying at him became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The originally stalemate balance was immediately broken. The huge flaming palm slowly penetrated the dazzling divine light and crushed the unwilling archbishop to pieces.
It was not until the moment of death that Anluk suddenly realized that the two witches he had always ignored were not as useless as he had imagined.
Seeing Anluk's body being crushed by the [Hand of the Flame Demon], Lin En couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked around very vigilantly, extremely worried that his act of killing Anluk would arouse the wrath of the gods...
Fortunately, his worries did not come true, and the terrifying pressure in the air gradually disappeared.
it is finally over……
Lin En's body swayed and he almost fell to the ground. After a whole night of continuous fighting, his magic power and physical strength had long been exhausted, and he was extremely tired mentally.
[Overload mode ends, remaining energy is 2.1%.]
The prompt sound of the intelligent computer in his mind rang out. Lin En held on to his body, looked at the unconscious Bai Ge lying in Johnny's arms, and asked.
"How's the White Dove?"
"I don't know. She is in very bad condition and needs immediate treatment." Johnny said very worriedly.
Lin En looked at the surging sea surface. Since Lord was able to receive the signal he gave and act according to the plan, he should be here by now...
But why can't I even see the shadow of the ship now...
Chapter 42: Return! Return immediately!
A few minutes ago, on the sea of fog.
A burly man gripped the long knife in his hand tightly and chopped at Lord fiercely, but the moment the blade fell, he suddenly stopped. The ferocious expression on his face gradually became extremely tangled, and he asked cautiously.
"Mr. Lauder, do you really want to chop it off?"
"Stop talking nonsense and chop!" Lame Lord said gritting his teeth, stretching out his right hand straight, revealing a very obvious flame mark on the back of his hand.
As he spoke, Lord's heart ached violently, but this was also an extremely helpless choice.
At the very beginning, he didn't have much confidence in a certain wizard's bold and outrageous rescue operation, so when he found that the harbor town suddenly broke out in turmoil and all the previous plans had ended before they even began, Lord immediately judged that the wizards remaining in the harbor town would soon be finished!
Because of this, Lord acted decisively and took advantage of the chaotic situation in Harbor Town to organize people to escape.
Thanks to the fact that the Holy See focused most of its energy on dealing with Lin En and others, they took control of the ship without much effort, and then took away some financial resources that were easy to carry and left the harbor town.
The only thing that worries Lord now is the fire mark on his hand. If the wizard finds out that he has escaped when he is in danger, he might drag him into hell before he dies.
Since he didn't know much about magic, the only way he could think of to deal with it was to chop off the hand!
The muscular man was holding the knife in a dilemma and was hesitant to make the move. Lord's mood kept fluctuating as well. Finally, he snatched the knife away in annoyance. It would be better for him to do it himself instead of being so hesitant!
"Boss, signal, it's a signal!"
At the bow, a sailor suddenly shouted. Lord looked up subconsciously and saw a fireball rising from the dock of the port and exploding in the night sky.
Lord was quite surprised. He thought that the cunning and cruel wizard was most likely dead, but he didn't expect that the other party actually fought back to the harbor dock.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the first mate who was holding the alchemical eyepiece.
"I saw a lot of black-armored guards, they are all out, including Archbishop Anluk! Those great wizards seem to be surrounded..." The deputy swallowed and said with difficulty.
Loud immediately understood that he had been chased all the way here. After thinking about it, he said it directly.
"Launch a round of rockets as planned, and then we'll sail across the sea immediately!"
Since the other party has successfully led Anluk and others to the agreed location, he naturally would not be so heartless. It would not be a big deal to set a fire from a distance, but he would rather forget about going ashore to pick them up.
Lord didn't think the other party could do anything in such a predicament.
It's impossible that he would be promoted to a great wizard on the spot and then destroy thousands of elite guards with just a few spells, right?
This is no longer outrageous.
More than three hundred sailors and guards immediately took out the oilcloth that had been prepared long ago, wrapped it around the arrows, lit them with torches, drew their bows and arrows, and shot the arrows into the distance using the projectile method, not caring about the accuracy at all. Anyway, the wizard's order was that as long as they could shoot the arrows into the harbor dock, it would be enough.
Lord took a quick glance and didn't look again, waving the long sword in his hand back and forth.
To cut or not to cut...
How much should I cut...
This is a question worth pondering!
Just as Lord made up his mind and was about to take action, the entire ship suddenly shook violently. He heard a loud roar and then an enormous impact force knocked him to the ground. His body rolled all the way under the mast and his head hit the crossbar heavily.
Loud's head was buzzing, and his clothes were soaked by the waves. After a while, he covered his waist and abdomen which were hurt by the fall and sat up. He looked up and asked the first mate beside him: "What's going on? Did we encounter a storm?"
However, the first mate did not respond to his inquiry. He stared blankly in the direction of the harbor and muttered to himself, "It's over, it's all over..."
"What's over?" Lord frowned in dissatisfaction.
Could it be that the battle at the dock has been decided and those wizards are all doomed?
Lord turned his head and looked over. After seeing the scene clearly, he couldn't help but gasp.
Only then did they realize that it was not just the wizards that were doomed, but the entire Harbor Town!
A huge dust cloud was floating up from above the city. The originally dark night sky was suddenly illuminated into a dazzling fiery red, as if something had torn apart the darkness.
The once prosperous and beautiful wharf has now turned into a pile of ruins, with thick smoke billowing up and surging heat waves sweeping up, burning the sky red, and dense rain of fire is falling from the huge dust cloud, forming a hellish scene.
Lord swallowed hard, his legs trembling slightly. Even though he was far away and couldn't see clearly what was happening on the dock, he understood that in the face of such power, the so-called Black Armored Guards and Vatican priests were not worth mentioning.
Could it be that I really had misjudged him, and the other party was actually a great wizard who was hiding his true self?
The magic praised by the other party as "fireworks" was so terrifying... Lord wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The fall of a port city was indeed the most "gorgeous" scene he had ever seen.
"Mr. Lord, are we going back now?" a sailor asked stutteringly.
Then, before Lord could reply, a brilliant ray of death light shot out from the dock and hit the sea surface a hundred meters away, creating a wave dozens of meters high. The sailing ship shook violently again, and Lord immediately jumped up and shouted in fear.
"Return! Return immediately!"
The sailors on the ship hurriedly pulled the sails and adjusted the course, not daring to delay for a moment.
In the eyes of everyone, this was undoubtedly a naked warning from the wizard to them!
If we don't return, the next magic will probably hit this ship directly!
Lord quickly changed into a set of decent clothes and tidied his appearance. Although his legs were still a little weak, he put on the most friendly smile on his face and prepared to meet the cruel wizard. He no longer mentioned the matter of chopping off his hands.
The sturdy man on the side pulled the boat rope hard, and was very glad for his previous judgment. Fortunately, he did not chop it down just now, otherwise he would be the one to be chopped to death!
Chapter 43: God's Projection
With the hard work of a group of sailors, the sailing ship sailed through the rough sea and stopped at a dock that had not been completely destroyed.
Feeling the rolling heat in the air, although he was mentally prepared, when he really looked closely at the port that had turned into ruins, Lord couldn't help but shiver in his heart, and the smile on his face became more enthusiastic than before.
"Mr. Lord, you are finally here. I thought you had successfully crossed the sea by boat..." Lynn took Johnny and the unconscious White Dove and boarded the sailing warship along the heavily lowered wooden planks.
"Hahaha, Master Wizard, you are joking... How is this possible? It's just that the plan changed temporarily, and we didn't receive your follow-up orders. We can only drift on this sea and wait." Lord laughed a few times and explained very calmly.
Lin En had no intention of exposing the other party. He and the [Ship Gang] had no friendship in the first place. The two sides only cooperated temporarily based on the threat from the Holy See and the goal of crossing the sea to the land of wizards.
So even though he guessed that the other party was suspected of abandoning him and running away, Lin En was not angry.
"Mr. Lord, is there a doctor on this ship?" Johnny interrupted their conversation and asked anxiously.
Lord took a look at the unconscious white dove and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He immediately asked his deputy to call the doctor on board. In order to deal with possible emergencies during this sea crossing, he had prepared a full range of herbs.
However, after the onboard doctor examined her, he shook his head helplessly. "The witch's injuries are not serious. The reason why she looks like this may be...maybe it's due to other problems..."
Hearing this, Johnny immediately thought of the scene where White Dove used [Soul Scream] to attack Anruk but suffered the backlash. This was probably a trauma on the soul level.
Seeing that the doctor on the ship had no solution, the silver-haired witch looked at Lin En with the last glimmer of hope.
'071' Lin En shouted silently in his mind.
[It is initially determined that the target has suffered severe mental damage. It is recommended that he go to the Federal Medical Center immediately to receive a professional brain examination.]
Lin En was quite helpless. He had to go back. Although the Federation's technology was advanced, its research on consciousness and soul was very limited. Most of the information was top secret files, which people like him had no right to access and view.
So under the witch's earnest gaze, Lin En had no choice but to shake his head cruelly.
Johnny's beautiful sapphire eyes dimmed suddenly, but soon he felt the little witch in his arms tremble.
"White dove..." Johnny shouted in surprise.
