The blood-red sand surged over the railings on one side of the ship like waves, coming quickly like a flood.
It covered the dozen or so crew mbers on deck, subordinates of Flado.
The magician used wind elent magic to create a wild wind, but could only protect the core mbers around him.
Those who were already subrged in the sand, their skin slowly shriveled as if they had lost all their moisture.
And Haywood’s invisible annihilation elent vibrated, altering the construction of life.
The scene was terrifying.
These shriveled bodies emitted piercing howls, then their torsos ripped open from the chest and abdon area, transforming into giant bloody mouths; then their limbs twisted backwards, supporting themselves off the ground as they crawled, resembling twisted hounds from hell, now making their way towards Captain Sky Peak and the others.
Their speed was incredibly fast, like spiders, heads weakly hanging down, expressions extrely horrified, still alive, so even crying, yet unable to make any sound, with only one thought in their mind—that they should never have joined the pirates or the Triad Gang.
Their chests and bellies were full of sharp, saw-like teeth like deadly worms, tusks longer than a human forearm churned as they charged madly towards Captain Sky Peak and his core mbers.
Along the way, so crew mbers were bitten by these human spiders, turning into a mist of blood, continuing to rapidly crawl toward the group.
Even Captain Sky Peak was sowhat stunned, as if facing creatures from hell.
But his ntal strength was terrifying, and he recovered in an instant.
Violently fierce.
He dared not use swords or sabers, because there was a weapon rack for the inspection ceremony. Blown down to the ground, weapons were scattered all around. He picked up a long-handled axe with one hand, weighing dozens of pounds.
With a powerful sweep, cutting through resistance like bamboo, the axe blade split a human spider in two, breaking even the enal-like bones, instantly turning it into halves, blood and flesh indistinguishable.
Another ferocious spin, slicing into the midst of the bizarre creatures, one sweep exploded three human spiders, blood spattering all around; then ca a guillotine from the sky, smashing another human spider into a mush of flesh.
"Have good tis made you all cowards?"
Seeing his core mbers still unable to snap out of it, Captain Sky Peak reprimanded them, thinking it was supposed to be a simple task. But as the SS Fuma Keqing Revenge drew closer, things beca more difficult.
The core mbers steadied their nerves. These monsters seed formidable, and also had fighting power, but were no match for them as they began to directly engage the enemy.
Captain Sky Peak thought that Flado’s ntal strength wasn’t very good, though he helped Taylor command the fleet. But over these years, with Taylor’s status, how many battles had he actually fought? He was nothing more than a young master raised in the ivory tower.
"First Officer, go down and take over Flado’s duties. There are still people under the deck; Liszt cos near, and use the cannons to salute."
Captain Sky Peak had extrely high psychological resilience. In such a bizarre situation, he still managed to keep his sanity.
Previously dominating Haywood, the situation reversed instantaneously. He stood alone facing a pirate gang once at the summit of the season.
Human spiders were rapidly massacred; each of these core mbers was an expert, and their coordination with each other was extrely tacit, using magic, swordsmanship, hand cannons, hooked rope scythes, and nail head hamrs.
The monsters on the deck were slaughtered in less than ten seconds, all of them obliterated.
These pirate core mbers had strange smiles on their faces. Indeed, it had been too long since good days, and occasional encounters of life and death weren’t bad either.
Haywood transford into wind sand again and swept towards Captain Sky Peak.
And Captain Sky Peak, learning from the past, tore off his jacket, trying to trap that strange flowing sand.
"Ordinary thods won’t work!"
Since he was a pirate, the magician was proficient in water elent magic; he wasn’t an unschooled wild practitioner but was also apprenticed to a prestigious school. Three spiraling water columns surged from the sea, quickly converging in his hands, then imdiately irrigating towards Haywood.
These sands truly froze in their tracks.
Haywood was ultimately a low-level mber of the Demon Clan, a sentinel rather than an officer or a general in the expeditionary army, let alone a Demon God Army Commander.
But he was always endowed with the strength almost of an Undying Body, enough to allow him to squander a thousand years in this world.
He reconstituted his original form, intensifying slightly.
His whole body crackled like popping beans, with a loud snapping of bones as bone spurs protruded from his joints, bursting out blood-red sand; his skeleton rapidly expanded, constantly bursting and growing taller, larger, three ters, four ters.
Finally, he rose into a five-ter monster, similar to those creatures, with a giant mouth splitting open at his chest and abdon, and not only that, his arms and legs grew enal-like bone spurs.
The giant claws on his back, connected to his forearms, had strange gills, opening and closing as they breathed, but those weren’t just gills, converging annihilation elent gathered there.
All of which erupted from above, the three gill slits under the high pressure of annihilation elent, ford three bright red choppers.
Snap!
In just an instant.
It wasn’t sothing human strength could match; three of Sky Peak’s core mbers were sliced into four sections, the cut surfaces smooth as if they had beco disassembled parts scattered on the ground, instantly dying violently.
This finally terrified everyone on the deck. So of Flado’s subordinates, having completely lost their reason to fear, even jumped directly into the sea.
"What kind of monster are you!"
A muscle-bound figure at the center raised a hand cannon, though calling it a "hand cannon" hardly did justice to its power; with his strength, he could lift a twelve-pound cannon, specially crafted.
A ferocious bang erupted as the twelve-pound cannon blasted towards Haywood’s chest.
Boom!
The cannonball, destructive and deafening, sent up clouds of gunpowder smoke.
Indeed, the impact was astonishing. Haywood was pushed back several steps, his left chest torn open, a huge cavernous hole gushing blood-red sand all over the deck.
However...
Nothing happened.
Haywood was still able to move; he advanced a few steps, grabbed the artilleryman, and Boom! Like a balloon filled with red ink bursting in his hand, as if crushing a hatchling, he turned this towering man into mush.
Captain Sky Peak never imagined that such bizarre circumstances would occur in his life, but the consecutive grueso deaths of his old comrades had truly infuriated him.
Powerful pirate gangs often didn’t spontaneously arise; they were usually ford from the elite who had broken away from mainstream organizations for various reasons.
It’s a pity it was a naval battle, Captain Sky Peak wasn’t wearing his armor constructed with Magic Rune, but even so, the runes of Life Alchemy still functioned.
"Pirates always et such ends... but now, you’re going down with them."
It was hard to say whether he acted out of courage or lost his sanity due to the disparity, blood-red runes circulating throughout his body, he wielded his long-handled axe and charged at Haywood.
The remaining core mbers, the magician, and the Scythe User also supported him.
They shattered the enal bone spurs that Haywood had worn, and the magician restricted Haywood’s movents with Water Elent Magic.
The giant axe in Captain Sky Peak’s hands was as light as a foam board, he stepped on Haywood’s arm, wildly spun the axe all over his body, bursting forth cascades of sand like rushing waterfalls.
Boom! Boom!
The continuous thunderous explosions resounded.
SS Fuma Keqing Revenge, and this brand new escort ship, began exchanging fire.
The upgraded Fuma Keqing had been transford into a combat ship, boasting hundreds of cannons; the escort ship simply couldn’t withstand it.
But Liszt dared not open fire; Taylor was still on board, and blowing him up would be problematic; he was there to save people, not kill them.
On the deck of SS Fuma Keqing.
Liszt used a telescope to watch the scene on the other ship; holy shit... was that Brother Hai? Truly fucked.
He was utterly shocked; even having been imrsed in this world of strange powers for ten years, he had never seen anything like it; it was terrifying.
Haywood was there... rampaging fiercely! Wait... were those from the Sky Peak Pirate Group?
Damn, what kind of monster, although at a disadvantage, could withstand that thing?
Liszt could barely recognize the taciturn shipwright anymore.
Liszt made a judgnt; they must keep a safe distance, Fuma Keqing couldn’t fire, and the people on the ship couldn’t just stupidly allow themselves to be attacked; his group would take small boats over to support.
Looking at Brother Hai ’s condition, it seed... he might not need support after all?
He just hoped Taylor was still alive.
A lookout reported that a ship from a Mixed Brand Pirate Group was approaching from the rear.
The people of SS Fuma Keqing were initially on alert, but after seeing the people on the ship through their telescopes, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Fen and Shadi arrived on a boat, its lighter build making it much faster than larger ships.
Climbing aboard Fuma Keqing via the rope netting on the ship’s side were also Fafna and Fisher.
"How’s it going?"
Fen asked Liszt.
"Brother Hai is going berserk."
Liszt didn’t know what had gotten into Haywood, how he’d upgraded? It was as if he’d leveled up to the max instantly.
"Good, let’s go check it out."
Fen felt they had to rescue Taylor quickly, understanding the current situation well; they couldn’t engage in close-quarters combat, and they also dared not open fire for fear of hitting Taylor, but they couldn’t just let them be bombarded either.
"Fafna says she has a way over."
Shadi looked at Fafna with a puzzled face, about to chop soone, "Can your expression be a little more heartless, could you not look so silly?"
"Hehe."
Fafna was in her rebellious phase, arms crossed, "Just let Captain Fafna lead the way."
