Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 725 - 624: Summoning Parents and All-Rounder
Among the armed forces under Aiven's command, aside from the battle-hardened "Dragon Cavalry" who lick blood off the blade.
All soldiers of the Georgia Guard have also undergone long-term war tempering in the monthly defense-switching assignment at the "Cumberland Line," and their experience in dealing with Spiritual Monsters is already quite rich. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Combined with their combat convictions, weaponry, command tactics, logistical support, and compensation systems, although not large in scale, it can already be considered an elite unit ready for great use.
Even when attacked suddenly at night, they immediately form squads as combat units, rallying with the surging waters of the Hartson River as their defensive array.
"Hold steady, don't panic, grenadiers, throw the grenades!"
Under the orderly command of the grassroots leaders.
Bang bang bang...
Hundreds of [Holy Salt Bombs] exploded in mid-air, scattering tiny red crystal rain, suspended in the air like gel, forming a long "dike."
The next moment.
Sizzle——
The ghostly green "Ghost" flood surged from the riverside forest, fiercely colliding with the "dike," as if hitting a red-hot iron, terrible black smoke with a stench billowing into the air.
Yet more ethereal spirits wailed and crossed over the high barrier, continuing their frenzied charge at the military formation.
"Firearms Array, open fire!"
The bright gunfire flickered, and the lead bullets trailing slight white light transformed into a torrential downpour, stirring up a storm among the "Ghost" flood. Many spirits already heavily wounded by the [Holy Salt Bomb] scattered into ashes and vanished without a trace.
After two rounds of ranged attacks, the scattered and ragged "Ghosts" finally arrived before the well-prepared military formation.
"Heavy Armor Guard, extraordinary, prepare to engage! [Gunmen], support! Grenadiers, prepare again!"
A group of figures stepped forward from the front of the line, standing like towering mountains before ordinary soldiers.
In this unit, the ratio of extraordinary to ordinary soldiers exceeded an astounding one-tenth, lavishly equipped enough to make any nation's regular army envious.
Jing——!
A symphony of orderly sword-drawing sounds, whether the double-handed sword of the [Flesh Puppets] or the customary curved blade of the Skin-Wearing People, the crystalized blade edge gleamed coral-like in the moonlight.
After a year's time, coral steel weapons, known for their exceptional lethality against spirits, had already become standard among Aiven's troops, and even the Firearms Soldiers each possessed a coral steel bayonet.
The blade light transformed into red waves, fiercely slashing at the ghosts within reach.
"Kill!"
Woo woo woo...
Howl——
Human roars, gunfire, the wailing of "Ghosts" and "Natural Spirits" blended into one, as the battle plunged immediately into a feverish pitch against these spirits who knew no retreat.
In the battle, there were at least three spirits of Evil Spirit level with the fiercest threats.
[Shadow Demon] resembled a human outline, standing less than a meter tall. It looked like a human child with two sharp little horns, its body seemingly composed of a nebulous smoky haze.
When a soldier's shadow, cast by an unspecified light source, extended onto its body, it would immediately envelop the source of the shadow into its smoky haze, leaving the enwrapped one vanish without a trace.
[Prison Flame Fierce Bone] appeared as a massive human skeleton, about 2.3 meters tall, surrounded by bright white flames, indicating a temperature astonishingly reaching 1500°C, the melting point of steel.
It rampaged through the formation, mindlessly charging, causing those who confronted it with coral steel weapons to have trouble and requiring the fearless [Heavy Armor Guards] to barely halt its steps.
The last one, [Bandage Man], was a Nimansite evil spirit wrapped entirely in white bandages. If simultaneously injured and bleeding while drawing its gaze, one's body would immediately fall under its control, howling frantically as they self-harmed.
Although this damage efficiency wasn't high, it was highly detrimental to morale.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The peak official knights Robert and William, the strongest commanders, each matched against the [Bandage Man] and [Prison Flame Mad Bone].
The "Celestial White Deer" Minnie, emitting white sacred light with no shadow, then raised her silver antlers and directly knocked [Shadow Demon] into the air.
At this moment.
Realizing there was no one in this human team who could threaten him, the "Wild Bull God" Bello finally sprang from the hiding woods into the air, eager to taste the thrill of slaughter personally.
Once a god under "Death God" Wuhao, the instinct for slaughter was deeply ingrained in his marrow.
However.
He was unexpectedly confronted by Angie and three peak official wizards who had just leaped ashore from the "Venus."
Bello's bull eyes widened suddenly, staring at the leading girl in disbelief and exclaimed:
"It's you?! Weren't you all absorbed into the Nether Cave?! Without the Death God's permission, how are you able to come out?! Could it be... the Death God, no, the Main God has revived?!"
For a moment, this powerful Totem God was nearly shocked speechless.
In that exterminating explosion, [Pai Daxing's Ultimate Farewell Ceremony 1.0] obliterated the entire heart island of Manitoulin Lake into history. The extraordinary, spirits, and natural spirits sent there by Secret Realm rules were all swept away in the explosion.
Only three Totem Gods managed to escape as they were pursuing the two who stole the "Spiritual Origin."
Bello still shudders whenever he recalls it.
Never would he have imagined, they who caused the explosion could survive being sucked into the Nether Cave by the "Death God" and come out again!
The cool-tempered girl looked up at the Totem God standing in the sky, radiating divine light. She recognized him too, as one who belonged under "Death God" Wuhao when appearing in the Secret Realm.
Now seeing the distinct features of the "Poison Plague School" wizards beside him, the Fungus Man and Insectoid, this bad guy who once chased her and her teacher was evidently now allied with "Lady Crow."
"Indeed, just like the teacher said, if there's a chance for something bad to happen, no matter how small, it will definitely occur. Lady Crow indeed has a connection with the Tier 3 Totem God that 'wandered' here.
This has already exceeded the scope we and the Garrison can handle..."
A slight raise of the hand.
A large magic book, entirely covered in fine scales and pure white, floated before the young girl.
Rustle...
The dragon skin pages, specially treated for a smooth white sheen, quickly flipped through.
Angie extended her delicate white right hand and lightly pressed it on the semi-finished dragon skin magic book.
Woo—
The Spiritual Wind from the Celestial Realm roared to life.
A massive pair of illusory wings, both feathered and covered in fine silver scales, spread open behind her, somewhere between bird and dragon.
Early in the year, the girl had been supplemented with two strands of Sacred Origin, and now she was only a step away from becoming a Senior Official Wizard.
And because she naturally possessed the triple talents of [Sacred], [Healing], and [Animal Affinity], and still carried the Sacrificial Mark from "Jet Black Dragon" Nidhogg, she had been focusing research on dragon types over this period.
She even leveraged the knowledge recorded in the [Dragon Covenant] obtained from the Netherworld Dragon People—names, habits, preferences, common bonds of powerful dragons—combined with her own extraordinary affinity, she was able to establish ties with the Celestial Feather Dragon clan.
The illusory wings suddenly fluttered.
Buzz...
Centered on Angie's body, waves of sacred ripples quickly radiated out, mercilessly crushing a mass of low-level Spirit Bodies into fragmented light particles, while the struggling soldiers all received enhancements.
[Witchcraft: White Dragon Imperial Inheritance]
At the same time.
Under the cover of the powerful sacred energy, an emergency instruction pre-set by magic book creator Aiven sped into the Spirit Realm as "Spiritual Fluctuations."
[Secret Skill: Summoning Parents Technique]
"Still dare to resist? Once we capture you, everything will be made clear!"
Here was only a frail girl, not the man who caused the explosion.
As for the example of the giant tortoise phantom countering the "Death God" Wuhao, it was irrelevant in his assessment; whether it was his own power or external aid, as a Tier 3 Totem God he still possessed this level of judgment.
At this moment, Bello, full of courage, shot down directly from the sky.
Boom...
Upon seeing this, three Peak Official Wizards behind Angie erupted with power underfoot, simultaneously rising to confront the fearsome "Wild Bull God" head-on.
...
In the rapidly deepening and thickening night.
Whoosh—
Tearing through the atmosphere and pushing away white clouds, a golden-green brilliant sun traversed over the Black Sea with imposing grandeur.
It was the [Legendary Battleship: Emerald Coronet] already on its return voyage.
Though its flight speed was only 500 kilometers per hour, roughly that of a small passenger plane, in combat, this air-to-ground, air-to-sea dimensional suppression was enough to cause a dimensional reduction attack!
At this moment.
Aiven stood with his sister, Olivia, on the deck of the [Emerald Coronet], casually tossing the authority [Secret Key] in his hand.
However, it was neither the Emerald Talisman belonging to the [Crown of Miracles] nor the golden ring of the [Emerald Coronet], but a black pearl pendant belonging to the [Sea Soul]!
Both sides have always had a basis for cooperation.
Tulip understands that the Hilus People cannot sit idly by as they rise, needing to unite all forces that can be united, and continuously bleed the Hilus. In the ongoing Black Sea disputes, the weaker Black Sea Goddess side certainly also needs a strong ally.
Especially as the "Octopus Ghost" Hawkins, a traitor who keeps his distance from the Tempest Church, finally achieved his freedom dream, the foundation for their unity not only lacks obstacles but has become even more solid.
With a darker thought, maybe after suffering enough over the years, the "Black Sea Goddess" Hipponeo, who just wants to quietly be a god, truly wishes that the trouble-making Hawkins would quickly disappear...
As for the "Sea Soul," it is Aiven's personal trophy, naturally impossible to hand over to the "Tempest Church" for free. At this point, I have the battleship, you have the authority, combining could be mutually beneficial.
The "Tempest Church," with authority but no battleship, can only dream on paper, while Aiven, with a battleship but no authority, could only get a durable punching bag.
On the return route past the "Eye of the Storm."
Negotiating with Fisher at the underwater city of Herakleian, the two sides haggled for a whole day.
Finally, Aiven, as the premise for a thirty-year free "usage right" of this legendary battleship, temporarily returned the "Sea Soul" needing another year and a half of restoration to the "Tempest Church.
The contract takes effect a year later, regarding what the "Tempest Church" does with it in the interim, is not within Aiven's scope of concern.
Thus, Spirit Realm, sky, underwater, Aiven now possesses legendary battleships for all three environments!
However.
Aiven's satisfied expression did not last long; he suddenly felt uneasy and received Angie's emergency message.
"Not good, Buffalo is in trouble!"
