The bat vessel was gigantic with black holes for cannons. It was probably able to unleash magic stone shells of more than a yard in diameter. The most terrifying thing was that it was as if the bat vessel had suddenly appeared ten miles away, yet the magic pass failed to detect the huge vessel.
“My Lord!”
“Your Highness!”
The men were screaming at the same time, clearly trying to persuade Saleen to avoid the bat vessel. Such a huge vessel was clearly made with technology that far surpassed that of Metatrin Kingdom. Even a group of grade-9 sorcerers would probably be unable to create something that was longer than a mile. It was a ship that could float on the seas and resist the winds.
In theory, the perfect length for a bat vessel should the same as the dragon skeleton bat vessel, which was one-hundred and eighty yards.
In order to ensure resilience against the winds and tides, the longest bat vessel created by mages measured at three-hundred and ten yards long. It was not that bigger bat vessels could not be created, but it would promise the speed at which it could be maneuvered and the resilience of the vessel.
“Full speed ahead!” Saleen gave the order without any hesitation.
“Yes, Master!” the winged skeleton was excited. This was the first time he was up against such a huge target. Any other bat vessel might not be able to do much, but the unique ability of the dragon skeleton bat vessel would definitely surprise the enemy.
“Sit tight. The battle will be turbulent,” Saleen said to the people around him.
The mages heard Saleen’s order and prepared for battle. The Sregl Island mages had no lack of scrolls. When Jason moved house, he brought over almost all of the scrolls that he had accumulated on Sregl Island. Those items were not important to Sregl Island anyway. The mages on the island would continue to create many more scrolls.
When Saleen saw the mages inspecting their scrolls, he laughed and said, “You will not have to join in the battle yourselves. Just keep yourself safe and boost the soldiers with spells at the appropriate times. Back to your positions.”
The mages got too excited because of the bat vessel. After what Saleen said, they quickly returned to their positions.
The cabins for mages and warriors were side by side, so the mages would not have to leave their rooms in order to boost the warriors with spells. The interior of the dragon skeleton bat vessel was designed very logically because there was no need for a huge space to acmodate an alchemy motor; hence allowing the structure of the bat vessel to be most suitable for battle.
The skeletal warships that were behind the dragon skeleton bat vessel began to slow down and spread apart while the dragon skeleton bat vessel spread its gigantic skeletal wings and increased its speed to more than two-hundred miles per hour.
The entire bat vessel had almost lifted off the surface of the ocean. It rode the wild wings and sped towards the gigantic bat vessel that was ten miles away at lightning speed.
The sight was like a rabbit bravely facing a wolf.
That huge bat vessel did not expect the speed of the dragon skeleton bat vessel to increase so dramatically and so suddenly. When it appeared, it was ten miles away and was traveling at a speed of about sixty miles an hour. When the dragon-remains bat vessel suddenly ramped up its speed to more than two-hundred miles an hour, a distance of ten miles could be covered in less than three minutes. It was not long before the two bat vessels would meet each other head-on.
No matter how sturdy the dragon skeleton bat vessel might be, it was not built to clash head-on with such a gigantic bat vessel. The front of the bat vessel had half a yard thick metal armor that was being supported entirely by magic, which was why it did not sink into the sea. If both bat vessels were to clash, the gigantic bat vessel would not be at a disadvantage. Even if the dragon skeleton bat vessel was not destroyed, its internal structure would surely be shaken.
The people on the gigantic bat vessel had considered countless possibilities but had not considered that the target would increase its speed and charge at them head-on.
The dragon bones of the gigantic bat vessel were made of magic metal in a restorative structure. Even if half a supporting structure broke off, it would not lead to a disintegration of the bat vessel, otherwise the vessel could not have survived any storms. In the magic cabin of the gigantic bat vessel, the captain was shocked by what he was witnessing. It took him half a minute before he called, “Full speed ahead!”
He had been angered. To think that the target was trying to demonstrate their courage in such a hilarious manner. He would help the enemy realize that courage should be built on powerful foundations, or it would just be mindless stupidity.
Five miles, four miles, three miles…
Both bat vessels approached each other at high speed without any intentions of turning away. Both sides were not even attacking each other with any weapons.
One mile…
Nine-hundred yards!
By then, neither side needed any magic to be able clearly see what each other’s bat vessel looked like.
This was when the winged skeleton calmly took control of the bat vessel and began to transform it. Dragon claws emerged from the belly of the bat vessel while the dragon tail shook violently. The entire bat vessel was making a deafening noise. There were spells in the bat vessel that could buffer out such noises, but that was not the case for the enemy bat vessel, where the soldiers that were controlling the weapons were clearly affected.
They saw the enemy’s bat vessel suddenly e alive to transform into a gigantic dragon. Gigantic skeletal wings were flapping on both sides as it pounced on their bat vessel.
“Attack, attack quickly!”
“Open fire!”
“Where are the alchemy crossbows?!”
“Mages! Where have the mages gone to?!”
Nine-hundred yards of distance disappeared in the blink of an eye. Before the chaos on the gigantic bat vessel could settle, the dragon skeleton bat vessel had already pounced onto the deck of the gigantic bat vessel.
Boom!
The one-hundred and eighty yard long dragon-remains bat vessel landed heavily on the gigantic bat vessel. Its skeletal wings on both sides swept away countless soldiers and equipment that had protruded out of the deck.
The claws of dragon-remains bat vessel dug deep into the metal deck as it shifted its body and swept its tail towards the bridge. The dragon skeleton bat vessel was refined from the remains of an ancient gigantic dragon. When it was still alive, every creature that was below grade-9 would be turned into minced meat by a sweep of its tail, without question.
The deck was covered with blood as the warriors were still calling for mages in futility. The winged skeleton laughed deviously in the control cabin and said, “Humph, did you really think this is just a simple vessel? e, giant dragon, roar!”
When grade-9 magic nuclei were placed in the magic array, the magic array at the front of the dragon lit up. Energy was transported into the magic array and the mouth of the dragon suddenly unleashed a powerful sound shockwave.
It was a grade-9 magic array – sonic dimension.
The wind elements in the dragon’s mouth began to congregate until they were visible. Countless miniature magic runes were just taking shape when they were shredded into pieces, releasing a deafening noise.
Such a violent yet strange attack left the men on the gigantic bat vessel helpless. They had quite a lot of equipment to prevent enemies from boarding the deck, including alchemy crossbows, fire-spitting hives, and huge puppets. The equipment would be effective against magic beasts that were more than ten yards long, but in that situation, they were under attack by a one-hundred and eighty yard long dragon skeleton.
The skeletal wings of the dragon skeleton bat vessel continued to flap on the deck, smashing all the flying equipment on the deck into pieces. Some of the huge puppets had also been smashed into their ponents, much less the arrow tower. As for the towering bridge, although it did not collapse after being swept by the dragon tail, its magic munication equipment was destroyed. They could no longer use it to disseminate orders around the bat vessel.
The moment the gigantic bat vessel lost the ability to municate, the warriors were in a mess.
Sonic dimension was a spell that left everyone on the deck bleeding from every crevice. Even those that were stronger lost their senses. With the dragon head as point of focus, a huge crater appeared on the deck as the grade-9 attack failed to fully penetrate it.
The winged skeleton was not surprised. After all, the grade-9 spell was meant to attack living bodies. Its damage on metal was limited. No matter what, sonic dimension managed to kill many enemies and only a little magic nuclei were used up in exchange.
The claws of the dragon skeleton bat vessel tore out the metal in the deck as huge craters appeared one after another. Countless spirits of the dead began to appear on the dragon skeleton bat vessel. They jumped onto the deck of the gigantic bat vessel and dove into the cabins beneath the deck.
Only at that point of time did the humans on the dragon skeleton bat vessel begin to leave their positions and remove the spells that had held them in place. What the winged skeleton did no longer maintained the balance in the bat vessel and everyone was thrown around.
Only the demons seemed unaffected. They followed Nailisi in dashing out of the dragon skeleton bat vessel. She also called over Nicholas and more than one-hundred human soldiers to her mand.
Nailisi followed the spirits of the dead in entering the first level beneath the deck. The bat vessel was so huge that perhaps even the pan’s turtle alchemical boat would not be able to sink it. Nailisi decided to take out the eggs of magic bug and spread them over the enemy’s corpses. The moment the eggs met with flesh and blood, they began to incubate very quickly.
Nicholas cast a fallen divine spell and the magic bugs incubated even faster. They broke out of their shells quickly and devoured the corpses.
Saleen had no intentions of taking over the bat vessel. His initial goal was to destroy the vessel so much so that it could no longer be operated. Saleen did not need a bat vessel in perfect condition. He only wanted victory.
Of course, after killing the enemies, he would continue to stay on the bat vessel for a period of time to see what kind of reinforcements might e. Right then, Saleen was a grade-8 sorcerer and the six spells on his devil suit had broken their seals to reach grade-9. His golden magic book and demon magic book could still contain many grade-9 spells. The equipment was not scrolls and could be used repeatedly.
That was why Saleen had never felt more confident than then. As long as his enemy was not as powerful as Joey, he was confident that he would emerge victorious. After all, Eleanor was now a grade-7 sorcerer and her longbow, Seven Nights, was already of formidable power and would allow Saleen’s clan badge even more time to lock onto the enemy.
The water puppet had also been fully repaired. The water puppet could cast crystal finger on behalf of Saleen, and this finger could easily kill grade-9 opponents.
Saleen gave Nailisi and the winged skeleton the order to kill all the enemies.
