Asino's order was equivalent to giving up the magic ability of all other warships. Although many sea tribe warriors had fighting power comparable to that of high-level warriors, they did not have the ability to use fighting spirit and magic. They generally used amazing physique and strength to compete with human fighting spirit warriors. However, this power seemed very weak in front of ghosts. The sea tribe warriors had almost no effect against these ghosts with swords and guns, while the ghosts' attacks could penetrate their armor.
But the mermaid mages could also see that if they could not attack the center of the ghost fleet and eliminate the source of these ghosts, their destruction would only be a matter of time.
When the two mermaid wizards who arrived at the Arsino flagship first cast a shield together, the ghost's soul body was not completely composed of magic. Although they could block some of the ghost's power, they still couldn't block the ghost's core soul.
It didn't take long for these ghosts to break through the shield and pounce upward from the bottom of the ship again.
Asino commanded the mermaid wizards who landed on the ship and said: "Those who can use positive energy magic, use positive energy magic to destroy them, otherwise use water magic. I have tried it, as long as it is magic power, it can cause damage to them.
We must defend this ship at all costs. We must rush to the center of the enemy fleet. Find the ship where the Ghost Queen is!"
When there are enough mages, these ghosts are no longer a big problem. They are obviously not the same species as the first ghosts that made screams, and they don't have much other means besides causing damage with their claws.
Merman wizards are scattered throughout every level of the ship, and will attack any ghosts that appear with magic.
Soon, the ghosts that attacked the ship were eliminated, and the subsequent ghosts that came in were also killed one by one by the mages who were waiting in wait.
But the situation on the surrounding ships was completely different. After the ghosts pounced on those ships, both the shark warriors, known for their strength, and the armor warriors, known for their defense, were caught in a bitter battle with the ghosts. Their strength was like hitting the air, useless, but they suffered real damage.
One ship after another began to deviate from the flagship's route. The ships at the rear began to turn around and retreat, and the ships in the front also scattered in all directions, but the ghosts lingered on them. Their speed in the water was no slower than the ships, so no matter which direction these warships went, they became a moving hell.
The ships were getting farther and farther away from Asino's flagship. Asino held the shell tightly in his hand. Even if he released the power in the shining shell, he could not save those sea warriors. They were already too far away, beyond the range that the shell could cover.
He still underestimated the strength of the Ghost Queen. Now he understood why those fleets that had fought against the Ghost Queen had all failed quietly.
In the face of such overwhelming force, without the help of the holy weapon, they would not have a single chance.
He looked at the other side of the strait again. The light fog made it difficult for him to see the situation inside the strait, and he did not find any trace of the Zuniga fleet. He hoped that his cousin was smart enough to help him at the critical moment. Otherwise, the result would be hard to predict...
Asino specially arranged two mermaid wizards who were good at wind magic to create wind at the stern of the ship. So his ship cut into the ghost fleet at a much higher speed than usual.
They passed by the ghost ships one by one, and from a closer look, the ghost ships were of different ages. Some looked no different from the ships in his fleet, while others were much more dilapidated, covered with scars and cracks.
These were all ships of the sea tribe, and there were no catapults or crossbows on them, so they could not use large machinery to attack them, and the ghosts operating the ships still ignored them. However, ghosts came out of the cabins of each ship, jumped into the sea and rushed towards them.
"We're getting close to the fleet, stop these guys!" Asino shouted from the bow.
Suddenly, after passing the previous ship, a human sailboat appeared in front. This ship was obviously a bit old, but it was still larger and more imposing than many sea creatures' ships.
Asino had a hunch that this should be the Ghost Queen's flagship!
Sure enough, when they approached the ship to about fifty meters, a figure slowly walked onto the platform at the stern.
It was a slender woman wearing a dark blue wizard robe with layers of arrays embroidered with gold and silver threads. The woman's face was hidden in the hood of the wizard robe and could not be seen clearly. She was wearing gloves and holding a short magic wand with a dragon-shaped head.
"Ghost Queen!" Asino was sure of her identity the first time he saw her, "Quick! Quick! Charge forward! I need to be closer to activate the holy weapon!"
The woman stared at Arsinoe for a few seconds and raised her wand.
Suddenly, there was a strong wind all around, and a huge shadow flew out from her magic wand and flew towards Asino's ship.
The phantom quickly took shape in the air, and everyone on the Asino ship gasped. It was a ghost dragon that was even bigger than their ship.
To cross a distance of more than fifty meters, the ghost dragon only needs to flap its wings.
After the dragon appeared in the air, it raised its head and let out a roar. The sharp cry was more shocking than the screams of the previous ghosts. The mermaid wizards, including Asino, were interrupted by the dragon's roar and became stiff for a short time.
Asino, who was about to activate the Shining Shell, stopped with his raised right hand. His levitation technique was also interrupted, and his body fell to the ground involuntarily.
However, this actually saved his life, because the ghost dragon then breathed out a breath at his ship, and the gushing negative energy was only slightly blocked by the ship's shield, then shattered the shield and swept across the deck close to Asino's head. When Asino recovered from the shock, he found that half of his hair had turned gray, and behind him, more than a dozen mermaid mages and more sea clan sailors had all turned the same gray. With the rise and fall of the ship, they all turned into powder and floated in the air.
"Mother Ocean..." Asino knew he had no choice. He raised the Shining Shell again and launched a final attack. Positive energy burst out from the bow, covering his flagship and the Ghost Queen's flagship as well as several surrounding ships. The Ghost Dragon, which was about to launch a second attack, was also enveloped by the light. (To be continued)
