Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 362: Battle and Pursuit (Subscription Request)

There is a saying: Where there are people, there is the world.

In the Habsburg Empire, the vigorous promotion of magical machinery has undoubtedly promoted the growth and progress of mechanical mages.

As the number of people increases, various factions will naturally form. You occupy one group, I occupy another, and each of us has our own interests.

This is a very normal thing, and it is inevitable when there are too many people. Therefore, the emperor's rule has never been to eliminate factions, which is impossible.

What they actually need to do is to control, balance, and make all factions work for them!
To get back to the point, when Douglas Hill came to prominence and his papers were published in journals in the Northern wizarding world and even in the Empire, he was naturally taken seriously and recruited.

He is not a "great and glorious" person, nor is he arrogant enough to form his own faction.
That's not his character!

His choice, of course, is to choose a powerful faction and sell himself for a good price.

And he successfully joined the camp of a legendary mechanical wizard with his various works, knowledge, and research and development capabilities.

Naturally, this legendary mechanical wizard had to give him enough benefits, one of which was the legendary magic scroll he made himself.

This legendary spell was created by that person himself. Its concept was simple and crude, which was the ultimate firepower coverage.

A specially made sixteen-barreled magic cannon, equipped with sufficient shells and sufficient quantity.

Then there's the chassis that adds levitation, and the control and calibration of the Demon Shooter's soul, stripped of its emotions.

So, we have this scene before our eyes, the ultimate coverage of firepower!
The domain of the Grand Duke of the Blood is powerful, but it is useless against dead things.

His blood crystal spears are also powerful enough. If they all fall down, the magic warship will be pierced into a sieve.

But all of this is no match for the salvo of fire from the magic cannons.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

There was no other sound between heaven and earth, only the roar of artillery fire and the pervasive smoke.

The rising smoke obscured the view. On the sea, Iron Knight Phil and Flame Sword Saint Otto pushed the magic warship forward at the fastest speed.

After crossing the bloody area, the sea beast electric eel also recovered, and under the drive of Walter, it began to pull the warship to sail quickly again.

Only then did they have time to look back.

Under the extreme artillery fire, those blood crystal spears were almost useless and were blown to ashes.

Then came the bloody domain, which could no longer withstand the artillery fire and began to crumble.

Then the illusory blood moon exploded with a bang, and the blood-colored bat screamed and turned into a shadow and tried to escape.

If it was just a simple fire coverage, it would be fine, he has plenty of ways to avoid it.

But the problem is that this legendary spell is also equipped with a demon hunter who has been stripped of his emotions. Shooting and aiming are his instincts.

It seems that every artillery attack causes area damage, but the fine-tuned muzzle is always aimed at the direction where the bloody bat escapes.

Even the instant blood magic has a pre-swing, but now he doesn't dare to stop at all.

He had no choice but to move around under the blood-colored barrier, looking for a hiding point from the explosion.

Unfortunately, this incomplete demon hunter soul did not last long. After a few minutes, it completely dissipated.
The magic cannon was also equipped with empty shells.

At this point, the duration of the legendary spell ended, and those specially made magic cannons began to fall into the sea.

And in the thick smoke, a blood-red bat flew out in a panic.

He looked at the magic warship going away and showed human anger, but in the end, he chose to recover from his injuries first.

On the magic warship, Douglas was as happy as a child: "How is it? How is it? Didn't disappoint you?"

"Legendary Scroll. Even if a real legend comes, we must be careful!"

On the side, Oliveira was silent for a moment, but still praised: "Great!"

……

One day later.

On a busy sea trade route, pirates are robbing merchant ships. The two sides are chasing each other and firing magic cannons at each other from a distance. It is very lively.

However, everything changed when a cloud of fog, adhering to the water surface and rapidly sweeping into the warship.

Suddenly, a huge blood-red crystal column fell from the sky, as if it was going to pierce through the fog.

But the fog made a clever turn and avoided it.

Then, he made a series of serpentine movements and dodged many attacks.

Even if there were some that could not be avoided, waves of fighting spirit would shoot out from the mist, smash the blood-red crystal pillars, and then quickly avoid them.

However, the fog was fine, but this sea area suffered. Wherever it passed, huge tsunamis were set off, and the broken blood-colored crystals caused splash damage.

The pirate ship and the merchant ship were in bad luck. They had no time to react and were shot into pieces.
Then, huge waves came and smashed the ship into pieces.

After the battlefield quickly moved away from this area, only broken sampans and floating barrels were left on the sea.

Most people drowned, and the few who were lucky enough to survive looked terrified.

……

After half a day,

The sea surface was turbulent and dyed bright red by the blood.

The sea monster electric eel seemed to be pierced by thousands of needles, blood gushed out from the holes, it twisted its body in pain, released thunder, and stirred up the sea. On the sea, the blood-red bat stared coldly at the sea beast, and its outstretched claws slowly rotated,

The blood seemed to turn into a blade, completely dismembering the sea beast into pieces.

This creature, which was extremely powerful even among sea beasts, died just like that.

Obviously, the bloody bat thought that without this sea beast, the magic warship would lose its speed and could be controlled by him.

But at this moment, a melodious and ethereal singing voice sounded, which seemed to make the world silent and make all living beings lost and confused, as if falling into a beautiful dream.

Of course, this song could not affect the bloody bat. He was just a little confused and let out a low and shrill scream, blocking the influence of the siren's song.

However, when he looked down, he saw sea monsters floating up.

A pair of huge and deep eyes stared at him, which was very creepy even if he did nothing!

The magic warship was being pulled by a large sea beast that looked like a turtle and was moving away at a faster speed.

The bloody bat was unwilling to let go, so he flapped his wings and started to chase after it.

But a black magic ray came towards him at an extremely fast speed.

The blood-colored magic barrier was erected almost instantly, but although he could withstand the artillery fire, he chose to dodge at the last moment.

Instant death spells are definitely the most unsolvable of all magic spells, because if you can't achieve immunity without taking any damage, it will be like an experience of walking on the edge of life and death.

Even if he can't be hurt ninety-nine times, but if he's unlucky just once, he'll be finished!

Therefore, no matter how stubborn a person is, he would not be willing to test this kind of magic.

However, this time of dodging gave the magic warship enough power, and it disappeared into the distance like an arrow shot off the line.

On the magic warship,
Mrs. Linda fell on her back and fell into coma. In her hand, a sealing crystal cracked and turned into pieces.

It should be said that having the support of a powerful force has some advantages. Douglas has a trump card, and Mrs. Linda certainly has the means to turn the tables.

Although the 'disintegration technique' in this sealed crystal is not a legendary spell, its deterrent power is quite good.

However, unlike the harmless use of the legendary scroll, this one requires the consumption of one's own magic power.

Mrs. Linda is now in a typical state of magic deficit.

Douglas reacted quickly. He immediately took out several bottles of potion and poured them into her mouth one after another. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her breathing had stabilized.

After escaping again, the atmosphere was no longer as tense as before, but instead more relaxed.

At this time, Flame Sword Saint Otto spoke up: "Do you feel that this blood bat looks powerful, but it doesn't seem to be as oppressive as before?"

"Before, just one hand was enough to make us flee in panic!"

"Because this is not the real body of the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan!"

The water splashed and Ms. Palacios walked out. Her cold voice rang out: "If my guess is correct, this should be a legendary magic similar to 'True Mirror Image', which created an avatar."

"Clone?"

“Yes, an avatar that can carry souls and handle affairs from a long distance.

It is said that some powerful legendary wizards have too many topics to study and too many matters to deal with, so they like to use this method of clone.

Basically, I can split myself into two, or even three, so I can practice, study, and experiment without any interruption."

"Is this still possible?"

Otto was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Then when they fight with others, isn't it just two against one, or three against one? Aren't they invincible?"

"You think too much. This clone is only 70% of the original's strength at most.

If it was really the real body of the Blood Clan Grand Duke who came, we would have died long ago!"

Douglas Hill's voice was still a little low: "But what about next time?

We have used up all our trump cards. Even the Sirens have come to our aid. What should we do next time?"

"I just hope that Luo Yi can come out of confinement soon."

……

One thing Douglas was right to worry about was that they would be caught up one day.

Just one day later, in the waters near Siren Port, the blood-red bats finally caught up.

This time, he learned his lesson and did not rush to attack. Instead, he ran to the front of the magic warship and directly opened the legendary realm.

It felt like the magic warship had actively entered an unknown bloody space, as if it were stuck in a quagmire, unable to extricate itself.

This time, everyone had no other means and could only give it a try.

Three fourth-order natural disasters rushed into the sky and fought hand-to-hand with the blood-colored bats. Ms. Palacios, riding a super-large water elemental giant, also began to cast spells and attempted long-range attacks.

Even Walter used the magic warship as a wizard tower and did as much rescue work as possible.

It was also at this time that Luo Yi finally stood up in the secret room. The golden and red fighting spirit around him had transformed into a blazing holy fire.

He looked up at the sky, and his vision seemed to be able to see through the hull and see the battle in the void.

He had never felt so good before, so he wanted to give it a try, could he fight a legend? !
