Chapter 169: Destroy the Ghost Ship, Boss Enters Second Phase

Woo——!
A melodious whistle emanated from the ghost ship, and the navigation light floating on the lighthouse slowly turned, casting a beam of light onto the ghost ship.

Wisps of demonic energy rose from the pillar of light, converged at the navigation light, and then poured into the Blue Winged Seahorse, causing it to also go berserk.

The pressure on the Saintess Squad has increased significantly.

Doris manipulated the puppet and took the opportunity to approach the Blue Winged Seahorse while it was being lured away by the others. Her flaming greatsword pierced through the water barrier and stabbed into the Blue Winged Seahorse's body, barely leaving a shallow wound.

The blue-winged seahorse, in pain, flicked its tail and slapped the puppet, then turned its head and spewed out a huge jet of water.

At the critical moment, Doris only had time to have the puppet hold the greatsword in front of her to block a lot of damage, but she was still knocked away and crashed into the railing.

Celia's puppet materialized into a giant ice bow, from which three crystal arrows were condensed and fired.

The ice arrow struck the water curtain barrier, causing it to be covered with a thin layer of ice crystals.

These ice crystals are eroding the water curtain barrier.

Once the erosion had reached a certain point, Celia gave a soft shout:
"Break the ice!"

The entire water barrier immediately collapsed, accompanied by a potion shattering on the Blue Winged Seahorse. A large amount of magic submerged the Blue Winged Seahorse, completely obscuring its form.

"hiss!"

The next second, accompanied by a roar, the spell that had engulfed the Blue Winged Seahorse was dispelled. The Blue Winged Seahorse raised its head and roared, with deep blue ripples appearing all around its body.

A powerful shockwave instantly blew away the approaching puppets.

The saintesses, who were also attacking from a distance, almost lost their footing and fell to the ground.

"This blue-winged seahorse looks only slightly stronger than those ten monsters below, so why is it so hard to kill?"

Everyone was panting.

Ross's phantom appeared beside Celia, sizing up the blue-winged seahorse.

"Superb defensive capabilities, various high-level attack spells, buff spells, and additional enhancements from the ghost ship..."

By now, all of their puppets had sustained varying degrees of damage. However, the only real damage they had inflicted on the Blue Winged Seahorse appeared to be the single stab Doris delivered when she rushed in.

The overwhelming spells caused considerable damage, but also granted the opponent a berserk buff that reduced their status.

When the blue-winged seahorse charged again, the saintesses felt even more pressure.

"No, the blessing the Ghost Ship bestowed on the Blue Winged Seahorse is too strong. If this continues, we're doomed to lose." Celia made the decision, turning to the others: "You guys hold off the Blue Winged Seahorse, I'll take care of the Ghost Ship!"

“Dealing with the ghost ship might lead to unpredictable things,” Doris said hastily.

"We'll all die if we don't deal with the ghost ship."

Celia ran around the battlefield and came to the other end of the Blue Winged Seahorse.

The blue-winged seahorse noticed her movement and tried to rush over.

Celia commanded the puppets to block its path, while the others quickly launched an attack to draw the Blue Winged Seahorse's attention away from it and prevent it from interfering with Celia.

Although they didn't know how Celia was going to destroy the ghost ship, they all chose to believe her and hold off the Blue Winged Seahorse for her.

Celia walked to the railing and looked down at the ghost ship.

Dozens of sailors looked up and met her gaze.

Celia stood on the railing, a larger ice bow than herself materializing in her hand.

She stood on one foot, the other on the ice bow, and pulled the string with both hands, slowly forming a crystal arrow on the string.

Soon, the crystal arrow reached its normal size, but she didn't shoot it; instead, she continued to channel magic into it. The crystal arrow grew larger and larger.

The girl's face visibly turned pale.

The crystal arrow continued to grow, gradually becoming as thick as her thigh.

Celia was still not satisfied and kept getting bigger!
She only released the bowstring when the crystal arrow was thicker than her two legs combined, sending the enormous crystal arrow flying toward the ghost ship.

It wasn't that she didn't want to continue, but rather that the magic power within her body had been almost completely exhausted, and if she continued to increase the intensity, she might not even be able to stand up straight.

"Take this arrow, which comes at the cost of all my magic!"

The crystal arrow streaked across a dazzling straight line and swiftly disappeared into the ghost ship beneath the lighthouse.

With a soft thud, the crystal arrow shattered, delivering a heavy blow to the ghost ship while simultaneously transforming into countless ice crystals that covered the entire vessel.

Celia's mental energy was visibly depleting rapidly. She barely managed to reach out and snap her fingers shakily.

"broken."

Bah!
A large crack suddenly appeared on the decaying ship covered in ice crystals, and then spread throughout the entire hull.

The ghost ship, already overburdened, broke apart piece by piece!
The sailors on board, amidst their unwilling screams, shattered together and slowly sank into the water.

As the ghost ship was destroyed, a contaminating mass of pollution erupted from the wrecked vessel, like a massive bomb, sweeping across the Gold Coast with overwhelming power.

Those hidden demons couldn't even withstand such intense pollution. Amidst their howls, they transformed into primal demonic energy, becoming part of the demonic tide that continued to spread to the outer areas.

Benovia and the others also noticed this situation. When they saw the ghost ship destroyed by Celia's arrow, they were all shocked.

The subsequent pollution impact was merely a sweeping effect, without rising upwards, which made them fortunate.

But the thought of this pollution sweeping outwards, and the presence of a large number of mercenaries and students in the surrounding areas, made them all turn pale.

Doris couldn't help but say, "I told you long ago that destroying the ghost ship would lead to unpredictable consequences. With such high levels of pollution, what if the students and mercenaries exploring the outer perimeter all die?"

Celia had already climbed down from the railing and was resting against it. Upon hearing this, she glanced at Doris but didn't have the energy to speak.

Benovia explained to her, "When the ghost ship appeared, the mercenaries had already retreated. The students at the school were told by their teachers that if there was another ghost ship today, they should leave immediately. Those who haven't left by now can't be helped."

"The impact of this pollution is so strong that it won't just affect the ruins; it might even spread outside!"

Do you think the school's professors can't withstand the impact of pollution?

Doris shut up.

With the ghost ship destroyed, the Blue Winged Seahorse's momentum instantly diminished.

It seemed to be angry because the ghost ship was destroyed, but due to its weakened strength, its anger was somewhat of a powerless rage.

The Saintess Squad seized the opportunity to launch its fiercest attack.

Seeing this, Celia, who had been resting and not wanting to talk, quickly shouted, "Hey, stop! Don't cripple it, or it'll go berserk! Let me rest first... Damn, how did you guys get here so fast?!"

Without the blessing of the ghost ship, the Blue Winged Seahorse's defense was greatly reduced, making it unable to withstand the powerful attacks of the saintesses. It was quickly brought to low health and entered the second phase.

Suddenly, the blue wings of the Blue-Winged Seahorse fluttered, and an aura even more powerful than the blessing of the Ghost Ship emanated from it.

The blue-winged seahorse roared to the sky, and the phantom of the golden chariot emerged from the void and landed on it.

Those blue wings quickly transformed into gold, with dense demonic energy flowing within the gold, like the veins of the wings.

These demonic "vessels" quickly spread throughout the Blue Winged Seahorse's body, making it look like a terrifying behemoth emerging from the abyss!
