Chapter 1088: Boarding Battle

Lin Wuming disagreed with the decision to take a detour and leave the battlefield, because in his opinion, the danger of this battle against the "Queen's Fleet" was not high; moreover... what Lin Wuming didn't say was that at this moment they had already penetrated deep into the enemy fleet, surrounded by the "Queen's Fleet's" powerful ships and cannons.

Just moments before, when they met up with Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Kamijou Touma, the "Queen's Fleet" was already within reach. Afterwards, Amakusa and Tsuchimikado were busy chatting and healing, and for a moment, no one paid any attention to the massive fleet before them!
By this time, having already penetrated deep into enemy territory, it was too late for them to retreat!
As if echoing Lin Wuming's thoughts, amidst a not-so-loud roar, countless ice-block cannonballs and harpoons were launched at the Amakusa-class small fleet!

"Enemy attack! Prepare for the assault!"

Amakusa-class fighters were also highly experienced in combat, including naval warfare. They immediately reminded each other to spread out in their small boats and hold onto nearby objects to avoid being thrown out by the upcoming turbulence.

As the massive ice block hurtled towards him, Touma clenched his fists, unsure whether the attack could be considered "magic."

"Watch out!" Kanzaki Kaori swung her sword, slicing through the ice blocks, while warning Kamijou Touma, "These are real ice blocks; your right hand might not be effective."

On the other side, Lin Wuming ignored the advice and came to the cabin, standing on the other side of the small boat.

“Nameless, you…” Kanzaki Kaori turned around and saw Lin Wuming, about to persuade him.

Three "ice bullets" exploded in mid-air, turning into a piece of ice with limited destructive power, which then fell into the sea.

Lin Wuming's Nen ability has come into play.

"Cough, don't think of me as too fragile," Lin Wuming said. "At least I can handle a battle of this magnitude."

As if to provide a footnote to Lin Wuming's words, all the shells fired from the surrounding area shattered.

In an instant, it was as if a blizzard had fallen on the sea, with tiny ice crystals fluttering down from the sky.

"Nameless, your injury..." Kamijou Touma also came out of the cabin, looking at Lin Wuming with surprise.

Just now, Touma Kamijou witnessed Lin Wuming covered in blood, and he never imagined that he would become so fierce in the blink of an eye!
“My injuries don’t matter—just stay away,” Lin Wuming said. “The problem now is this ‘Queen’s Fleet’! There’s no time to waste, Kamijou!”

It wasn't that Lin Wuming was turning his back on Touma or rejecting him; it was simply that his injuries were only temporarily healed by his Nen ability. If Imagine Breaker were to touch him and remove his Nen ability, it would be troublesome.

"Yes!" Touma Kamijou immediately snapped out of his daze, remembering the purpose of his trip. "We must stop it!"

It is said that the ultimate move of this "Queen's Fleet" can directly destroy Academy City, and it is a secret weapon that the Roman Catholic Church has been planning for a long time.

Touma Kamijou absolutely will not allow that scene to happen!
Tsuchimikado Motoharu stepped forward at the opportune moment: "This is a rare opportunity, let's seize it and take down this 'Queen'!"

"Nameless, I'm counting on you again this time!" With that, Tsuchimikado Motoharu bowed to Lin Nameless once more.

Unlike Touma Kamijou, Motoharu Tsuchimikado was even more pleased to see Lin Wuming take action personally.

Tsuchimikado Motoharu is very pragmatic; he will not let go of even the smallest bit of help as long as it is beneficial to his mission.

Not to mention a powerful Level 5 fighter. Since Lin Wuming himself was also interested in participating in the battle, Tsuchimikado Motoharu certainly wouldn't refuse. "The one in charge of commanding the fleet is Bishop Piageo of the Roman Catholic Church," Tsuchimikado Motoharu explained. "Based on intelligence, the largest ship in the fleet is the flagship, and also the central hub for operating the Spirit Armor. If we're going to board, choosing the flagship directly is the most efficient way!"

Whether it was a coincidence or not, after Tsuchimikado Motoharu finished speaking, everyone on the ship looked up at what was in front of them—directly in front of the bow was a giant ship.

“This is it,” Tsuchimikado Motoharu nodded and said, “There’s no need to get entangled with the other ships and minions anymore, let’s just take care of it!”

Even Lin Wuming, who was the most seriously injured, rushed to the front line, so there was even less reason for the others to shrink back.

Everyone present at the Amakusa-style meeting unanimously agreed to crush the enemy directly!
There's not much more to say after that. Everyone boarded the flagship of the "Queen's Fleet," and then the battle broke out.

The "Queen's Fleet" was very large, with its flagship being a first-class warship; however, there were very few people on such a large ship.

Occasionally, one could see a few nuns and priests, but most of the others were golems made of ice.

Seeing this scene, Lin Wuming couldn't help but recall the "ice giants" he had encountered in Greenland before—the two should be based on the same principle; this further proved that those "ice giants" were indeed traps set by the Roman Catholic Church.

However, since they are "the same type", it means that dealing with them won't be too difficult.

Thinking of this, Lin Wuming decided to use the same trick again, condensing the giant's right hand to destroy these golem puppets one by one.

But before Lin Wuming could take action, Kanzaki Kaori had already launched an attack.

Without even drawing his sword, he used the "Only Flash" activated by the steel wire to wipe out all the enemy puppets present!
After the golem was defeated, it turned into several ordinary-looking blocks of ice and fell onto the deck, which was also made of ice.

At first, no one paid attention to these "wrecks," but soon people noticed that the ice was being absorbed by the ship's hull, and soon after, new golems appeared on the deck.

"There's no point in getting entangled with them!" Kanzaki Kaori shouted. "Just hold them off, I'm going to defeat the manipulator!"

With that, she took the lead and rushed into the cabin.

Amakusa and his crew worked together seamlessly, with some members remaining on the deck to suppress the golems, while the others followed Kanzaki Kaori into the cabin.

Lin Wuming didn't join in the fun and chose to stay on the deck.

With the intervention of the "saint" Kanzaki Kaori, coupled with Touma Kamijou's "Imagine Breaker," the outcome of this battle was already predetermined.

Compared to Bishop Piageo, who was in charge of the "Queen's Fleet," Lin Wuming was more concerned about the "Right Seat of God."

Not long ago, during the duel with the Right Flame, the Front Wind came out to cause trouble, so Lin Wuming was very worried that another God's Right Seat might appear this time.

After all, this "Queen's Fleet" is an important spiritual artifact of the Roman Catholic Church, and it cannot be allowed to be taken away by the Anglican Church under any circumstances.
Given the current balance of power between the two sides, without any stronger reinforcements, Bishop Piageo is almost certain to lose!
