Chapter 270 Fierce Boarding Action

"Bang!!!"

A sound mixed with the cracking of a wooden plank rang out!

The ghost ship Westminster and the Princess, where Richard was, suddenly scraped together, their sides touching!

"Kill them all!!!"

Asakim, already furious, roared.

The one nautical mile he had just traveled was the most difficult one nautical mile he had ever experienced in his life!

During the approach over this nautical mile, his ghost ship, the Westminster, was subjected to a barrage of cannon fire, making him a sitting duck!

He still can't figure out how the other party discovered his ghost ship.

It's important to know that ghost ships inherently possess some hidden attributes, which can make people unconsciously overlook their existence.

Moreover, this time, Lord Saridin also invited the Sirens to cast the Misty Sea Song, turning the entire area of ​​hundreds of nautical miles into a hazy gray expanse.

In this situation, the other party can pinpoint your location with incredible accuracy—it's simply bizarre!

The consequence of launching an attack while enduring heavy artillery fire was that more than half of his elite troops were lost!

If it weren't for the power of "Poseidon," my Westminster would probably have sunk three times over!

Asakim had never fought such a frustrating battle before, so he was seething with anger!

The artillery fire was not fatal enough for someone of his level.

It's not that Asakim's body could withstand the attack of artillery shells, but rather that with his reaction speed, he had ample time to dodge the shells coming from afar, unlike his subordinates who suffered broken arms and legs or were broken in the waist!

At Asakim's call, the remaining half of the Ghost Ship pirates, brandishing their weapons and yelling, leaped over the Princess's ship's railing, ready to begin their slaughter!

"Kill them all!!"

"Avenge our brothers!!"

"Leave no one alive!!"

The pirates roared with ferocious expressions.

But the fierce pirates had just jumped onto the deck of the Princess when they were met by a behemoth that was over four meters tall—the vengeful spirit, Abomination.

Suddenly, the pirates' strange cries stopped abruptly, like a pack of mutts trying to raid the cave of an unknown creature, only to find a mountain bear inside.

At that moment, a cunning smile appeared on the vengeful and ugly face of the vengeful spirit, and the next second, the bulge on its neck instantly shrank back!

"Venom spit!!"

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

The vengeful spirit opened its gaping maw, and a large stream of pale blue, foul-smelling liquid, like a high-pressure water gun, sprayed down on the heads of these strangely shaped pirates.

In an instant, the densely packed pirates had no time to dodge and were sprayed in the face or all over their bodies!

"Zzzzz!"

A corrosive sound immediately rang out, and wherever the pirates were sprayed, thick white smoke billowed from their bodies or clothes, and a stench similar to burning biological tissue spread out.

"Aaaaaah!"

The screams of the pirates on the deck rose and fell!

The ghost ship pirates, who were just full of momentum and planning to slaughter the Princess, were completely stunned by the vengeful spirit's attack!

Actually!

This was only the power of one-third of the venom stored within the vengeful spirit's body.

If it were to go all out, the consequences could be devastating to both sides.

Because the venom from the vengeful spirit poured onto the deck, the deck was corroded. Fortunately, the deck was thick enough that it was not corroded through.

Therefore, although the vengeful spirit has three poison sacs in its body, Richard does not dare to use them all.

At this moment, the melee team led by the orc Otombo saw how powerful the Wraith Abomination was, and their morale immediately soared!

Outomb brandished his giant axe and roared, "Kill these disgusting, rotting bastards! Charge!"

The orc Otombo took the lead, leading a small elite melee force of dozens of men to engage in a fierce battle with the surviving ghost ship pirates on the deck.

The pirates, who should have had an overwhelming advantage, were reduced to less than one in ten who could still maintain their fighting strength after the first round of continuous cannon fire from the Princess and the second round of attacks from the vengeful spirits and venomous creatures.

So at this moment, the Ghost Ship thieves, who were originally planning an ambush, were instead routed by the Lighthouse's melee team!

This greatly excited Captain Barrolick, as it seemed that the myth of the Ghost Ship's invincibility in boarding action was about to be broken by his Princess!

This is, of course, thanks to the vengeful spirit's hated master—Lord Richard.

Asakim naturally witnessed this scene on the deck of the Princess, and he was furious.

We just endured a barrage of artillery fire all the way, and now the boarding action is in such a mess!

The infamous reputation of the HMS Westminster ghost ship is likely to be ruined!

He leaped into the air and landed on the deck of the Princess with a "thud!"

The next second, he tore off his black robe, and hundreds of bloodthirsty hagfish, each as thick as a thumb, wrapped around his body, pounced on the Princess's melee team like a high-speed machine gun.

Instantly, screams of agony erupted from the Queen's melee team, led by Outombo.

The situation reversed so quickly!

This is also what makes the wizarding world so unique: the intervention of high-level combat forces can often turn the tide of a battle very quickly.

These thumb-thick gray hagfish resemble giant earthworms, but at their very tip is an incredibly sharp mouthpart, with rows of sharp teeth as neatly arranged as those of a great shark.

Once the bloodthirsty hagfish of Assakim touches a human body, its mouthparts, like drills, begin to burrow deep into the body, instantly tearing the skin and flesh apart as if by a high-speed cutting blade, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Many melee fighters screamed in agony as they frantically pulled at the hagfish's tail, trying to rip it out of their bodies.

If left unattended, hagfish will quickly drill through their sharp teeth and directly bite into a person's internal organs, leading to death!

However, these hagfish may look only the size of a thumb and seem weak, but once you actually touch them, you'll find that their bodies are incredibly slippery and their muscles are as tough as rubber.

It is difficult for melee fighters who are not strong enough to tear off a hagfish.

At this point, many people resort to slashing or hacking with swords or knives to deal with hagfish.

As a result, these hagfish are extremely resilient, much like earthworms. Even if they are cut in half, the front half will still burrow into the human body, devouring flesh and bodily fluids and healing itself at high speed.

Soon, the hagfish cut in half will become two hagfish that are half the size of their original size.

Many people have suffered because they didn't know this, thinking that cutting the hagfish in half would solve the problem.

Unexpectedly, the hagfish, after being cut in two, did not die, but instead perished from the bite of the first half of the hagfish.

Even the vengeful spirit Abomination now had seven or eight bloodthirsty hagfish crawling on its body. These hagfish used their sharp teeth to tear open the Abomination's thick skin and began to drill holes in the fat layer, but the vengeful spirit Abomination's fat was simply too thick.

These hagfish devoured everything, but all they managed to swallow was a huge pile of pale yellow fat, filling their bellies with grease!

But during this time, the many normal-sized arms on the body of the vengeful spirit began to wreak havoc, waving and pulling at these bloodthirsty hagfish.

In particular, the vengeful spirit's own arm pulled out a bloodthirsty hagfish and put it directly into its mouth to tear it apart, as if it were eating a spicy snack.

Their ferocity was so terrifying that it terrified onlookers.

-

Richard and Stephena had, of course, already seen through Assakim's move.

However, Richard was now focusing all his attention on another person on the ghost ship. Although that person was also a man in black robes, his aura was extremely powerful, and he seemed to be very close to a second-level archmage.

This is Sariddin.

Suddenly, he spoke up: "Asakim, our leader is here. Don't waste your time on a bunch of weaklings!"

"Yes, Lord Saridin!" Asakim, in his skeletal form, immediately responded.

This made Richard's expression harden; clearly, the other party's target was him.

He hasn't done anything else recently, but he's provoked the Sea God Cult. So the other party is most likely someone sent by the Sea God Cult to get rid of him.

He had ruined the Sea God Cult's plan to annex the Norris Merchant Guild and completely destroyed their stronghold in the port of Antwerp. It was normal for them to hate him to the bone.

A skeleton-like Asakim suddenly charged toward Richard at lightning speed, like an arrow released from a bow.

Richard realized that he couldn't let the two of them work together, otherwise he would be at a disadvantage.

Despite the apparent numerical superiority of our side, a closer analysis reveals that both Baroric and Otombo are melee fighters at the Grand Knight level, and in terms of strength, they are not even as good as a first-level wizard.

They were no match for the two enemies before them.

While Stephena possesses considerable talent in witchcraft, she is no match for any of the enemies before her in a direct confrontation.

Therefore, Richard's current situation can be described as quite bad, meaning he has to fight two against one.

Moreover, both of these opponents seem to be very difficult to deal with.

Almost simultaneously with Asakim, the black-robed Saridin also underwent a sudden and dramatic change.

His body, which was originally of normal size, suddenly swelled up, and his black robe was instantly torn to pieces.

A monster, over four meters tall, with a shark's body but limbs, appeared before Richard.

"As expected of the Sea God Cult, all that comes out are sea monsters of various forms. It seems that this is the so-called 'Sea God's' gift, turning his followers into this kind of creature."

"Stephena, protect yourself, deal with that skeleton first!" Richard said quickly while rapidly casting a spell.

"Magic Armor Technique!"

"A deathly aura lingers!"

The two defensive spells were quickly cast.

"boom!"

Asakim, who was charging toward Richard, was suddenly knocked several meters away by another, even taller skeleton—Richard's Bloodbone Puppet.

Immediately, the two began to fight.

Since both are skeletal creatures, their battles are quite interesting.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this was a civil war among necromancers.

Saridin, who transformed into a shark monster, was entangled by a vengeful spirit of similarly enormous size.

The three iron chains were immediately hurled at Sariddin by the vengeful spirit.

Incredibly, the wrist-thick iron chain was making a creaking, deforming sound.

Suddenly, the shark monster Saridin's muscles bulged and bulged, and began to swell!

This strange force was so terrifying that it almost snapped the iron chains in two!

"stretch!"

"Splash!"

The thick iron chain that the vengeful spirit had always been able to overcome was forcibly snapped by brute force for the first time!

Richard's expression immediately darkened. It seemed that the vengeful spirits wouldn't be able to withstand this shark monster for long.

We absolutely cannot allow the two of them to team up, creating a two-on-one situation!!

Richard immediately cast two spells in succession and attacked Assakim!

"Mental shock!"

"Death Ray!"

First, a transparent wave of mental energy rapidly attacked Asakim from the air in front of Richard, immediately startling Asakim. He was then forced to retreat by the Blood Bone Puppet's Bone Blade Storm.

The very next second, Asakim was pierced through the shoulder blade by a black beam of light!

Richard had originally aimed at Asakim's skull, but the opponent reacted extremely quickly and managed to dodge the fatal blow.

"Bloodthirsty eel balls!!" The injured Asakim roared in pain, and suddenly, all the scattered bloodthirsty hagfish rushed towards him.

The next second, a giant eel ball composed of hundreds of bloodthirsty hagfish, directly controlled by Asakim, rolled and charged toward Richard with ferocious momentum.

The attack power of the bloodthirsty eel ball is extremely terrifying. Once hit, the mouthparts of hundreds of hagfish will be activated at the same time, and in an instant, a person can be sucked to the point of being bloody!

Many wizards, believing they possessed defensive magic, braced themselves against Asakim's attack.

As a result, the defensive magic was breached by hundreds of hagfish in less than half a second, and the next second, before it could even utter a sound, it was drained of its life force!

At that moment, a fair arm touched Richard's arm, and the next second, Richard disappeared from Asakim's perception, but he could still see Richard's blurry figure in the same spot.

This sense of misjudgment made Asakim extremely uncomfortable.

The bloodthirsty eel ball that charged menacingly toward Richard was easily dodged by Richard, who had retreated into the shadows.

"Slash!!" The orc Outombo unleashed a powerful upward slash, which struck Asagim's skull with tremendous force.

"Snap!" A clear sound of bone cracking rang out.

Although Otombo's strength was only that of a Grand Knight, he was tall and imposing with incredible strength! Even Asakim was not in good condition after accidentally taking this hit.

"Pfft!"

However, Asakim's reaction was extremely fast, and his counterattack was even more swift. With incredible speed, the skeletal arm pierced through Otombo's abdomen, directly rendering Otombo unable to fight.

But the next second, a black beam of light suddenly pierced through Asakim's spine!

"Snapped!"

This dealt Assakim a devastating blow!

It was Richard who seized the opportunity and suddenly unleashed the death ray!

On the other side, a familiar, painful roar rang out.

The vengeful spirit's abomination had been torn open, leaving a huge, gaping hole that could almost fit a person inside.

Saridin's transformed shark monster is actually most powerful not because of his strength, but because of his shark mouth.

With just one bite, the vengeful spirit was severely injured. Before the evil spirit could even be released, the vengeful spirit was given a cesarean section and instantly lost hundreds of pounds!

But the shark monster wasn't having an easy time either. The giant iron axe and chain ball, which the vengeful spirit hated, also struck it hard on the head, leaving two long gashes on its skull.

But compared to the wrath of vengeful spirits, this is clearly a minor injury!

In an instant, the casualty ratio in this battle became 1 to 1.
