Chapter 450: Chapter 277: Entering the Evil Spirit Sea Area_1

The hull was neatly cleaved in two, with the buildings and navigational equipment on board equally precisely severed.

Splinters and broken chains flew everywhere, and the central split in the hull allowed a large volume of seawater to flood in, filling the nearby cabins within the blink of an eye.

The bow and stern began to tilt upwards, and the hull began to sink into the sea, slowly at first and then quickly.

"Repair Curse, quick!"

The Son of Heaven, demonstrating his poise as a leader in a crisis, swiftly commanded, simultaneously releasing a Repair Curse on the hull himself.

Others possessing the knowledge of repairing incantations followed suit.

The effectiveness of the Repair Curse increased the sooner it was applied after the damage. They had responded promptly to the serious damage of the hull breaking, and thus the hull was barely salvaged.

Under the light of several Repair Curses, the keel slowly fused back together, and the hull gradually restored its sturdiness.

However, due to the excessive amount of seawater that had flooded in during the repair, the ship still showed a tendency to sink.

"Dive in and have a look!"

Everyone was too preoccupied with the flooding of the hull to worry about going underwater. They immediately sent out several individuals capable of underwater combat to jump into the ocean and assess the situation.

Jane was one of them, and they were all prepared for the possibility of being ambushed once they were under water.

However, when they actually submerged, they found that everything was calm underwater. The anticipated attack did not come, and there were no signs of any people nearby.

"There’s no one underwater!"

Having used the Arcane Missile to scout the surroundings, Jane finally delivered this conclusion.

"Are you certain?"

"Definitely! The enemy has already left." Jane was assertive in her statement. She had used the Arcane Missile throughout her journey, and even those deeply concealed would not escape her magical eye. However, nothing unusual had been discovered. The only explanation was that the enemy had already left the vicinity.

"What happened? This guy hid just to attack like that?" The devil asked, frowning at the Son of Heaven.

The arc of electricity that flashed a moment ago had indeed startled them. In earlier times, such a strike would have been enough to wreck a ship. But this was the Magic World, where even such damage was still far from sinking a ship.

They had thought that the first strike was only the beginning and that the enemy would continue to attack relentlessly. But that’s it?

"So, has this guy left?" The devil asked.

"Maybe...he deduced that we were testing him and didn’t want to expose his strength?" Jane suggested a possibility.

The Son of Heaven shook his head. "Continue the search, and warn other vessels to be careful..."

The enemy might not want to reveal his strength, which is indeed a possibility, but his intuition told him that the counterattack of the enemy should not end so easily, and there might be more tricks to come...

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard another crew member from the castle exclaim, "Not good, this person seems to be heading our way, the Flying Wheel just got attacked!"

"The Flying Wheel?"

Upon hearing this, the Son of Heaven and the Devil instinctively reached for the battle ship formation map that was laid out.

The eight ships were arranged in an octagonal formation, and the Flying Wheel was located on the upper right corner of the Ace of Spades, which made it the closest ship to them.

However, the so-called ’closest’ was still a thousand meters away. How much time had passed since the enemy had attacked them? It wasn’t even half a minute. Even if the enemy were a fish, it would not be possible for them to move so swiftly, would it?

"What kind of attack did you endure?" The Son of Heaven asked anxiously.

"The text prompt indicated it was an electric arc that emerged from the sea. The attack is still ongoing, and it’s almost completely wrecking our ship..."

"President, we can’t keep up with the repairs..." The crew member on the Flying Wheel complained.

The main combat forces were mostly assigned to the Ace of Spades. While there were people who knew the Repair Curse on the other ships, it wasn’t as easy to fix as it was to destroy. Despite their efforts to repair the ship, they simply couldn’t keep up with the damage to the hull caused by the enemy’s ’Big Sword’.

"Stop the repairs, everyone in the water, find that person’s whereabouts!" The Son of Heaven made a decisive decision.

"Yes!"

The crew on the Flying Wheel abandoned the ship one by one.

However, after a round of searching, they still couldn’t find the enemy.

"President, I found a scale over here; the system said it’s a mermaid scale!" the only crew member who had found something reported.

"A mermaid scale?" The people looked at each other, faces full of confusion. Could it be that the enemy had received help from a mermaid?

"All crew and ships, converge towards the centre of the formation!" The Son of Heaven immediately changed his command.

Now it seemed that the enemy only attacked the ships, not the people. They had obviously seen through their uneven distribution of forces, aiming to single out their weaknesses.

Upon hearing the orders, everyone immediately began to follow them. However, within the short few minutes of their gathering, two more ships were capsized by the enemy as though they were slicing melons.

Seeing this result, everyone felt grateful that the president’s order came quickly. Otherwise, most of the present ships would have been wiped out.

Soon, all the ships and personnel finally converged in one spot. Hundreds of people crowded onto five ships, yet they still dared not relax. After all, their enemy was a Legendary Master, and they were in a situation where the enemy could see them, but they could not see the enemy.

By then, the five ships had been thoroughly shrouded by the fog. The layers upon layers of fog rolled relentlessly, reducing visibility to under ten meters. It was anyone’s guess from which direction the enemy would launch the next attack.

Faced with the oppression of a Legendary Master, everyone could only maintain a high level of alertness, never taking their eyes off their mobile phones.
