Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 833 - 714: Legendary First Kill

Rumble rumble rumble...

Accompanied by a terrifying roar, the snow-white crest rushed forward with an irresistible momentum. Compared to it, even a steel torrent formed by tens of thousands of heavy cavalry is utterly negligible.

Moreover, it continues to make fine adjustments as it moves forward, like the Hilus Crescent Array, forming a semi-enclosure that surrounds the Legendary Battleship in the center, resulting in the rapid accumulation and elevation of the water level at the center of the crescent.

Although the [Flame Bright Light] has awakened its Ship Spirit, according to military tradition, the Hilus Empire still deploys a part of the army as ship personnel on this Legendary Battleship.

At this moment.

Led by Vice Admiral Kolclaf, who possesses the strength of a Tier 3 Peak Grand Knight, a group of crew members looked at the white line that was almost instantly upon them, gradually realizing what that was, and some soldiers with slightly weaker mental fortitude couldn't help but shake in fear.

"'Eternal Flame' above! That is..."

"Why panic? 'Flame Bright Light,' give me full power to activate [Bright Celestial Kingdom], as long as we can withstand the massive wave at the front, the strength of the Legendary Battleship is enough to endure the subsequent aftermath."

After reprimanding the crew, the vice admiral captain, with a full face of beard, raised the [Secret Key] shaped like a Flame Holy Emblem in his hand and loudly issued his command.

[Bright Celestial Kingdom] rapidly expanded, just enveloping the entire battleship.

In the next moment.

The terrifying tidal wave, five meters high and traveling at a speed of one thousand kilometers per hour, had already pounced in front of the battleship.

Even with the world's strongest "shield" protecting them in layers, they still seemed to feel the overwhelming moisture coming at them.

Clang! Clang! Clang!...

As the bells of the Celestial Holy Mountain rang more urgently, inside the vast nation formed by Radiance, the water level began to rise desperately, quickly submerging the streams, fields, houses... all the way up to the Holy Mountain where the sacred light resides, from the mountain foot to the mountain waist... spreading upward.

At first, there wasn't much of a problem, but as more and more seawater was swallowed, the entire [Bright Celestial Kingdom] gradually began to creak. After all, in essence, it is merely a projection, incomparable to the actual Celestial Kingdom of the God.

As time passed second by second, everyone on the ship couldn't help but clench their fists, powerlessly waiting for the final judgment.

Suddenly.

"Look! The tide is retreating!"

The most formidable aspect of the [Tidal Cannon] remains that crushing force, and after the strongest wave peaks passed, the [Flame Bright Light] managed to hold on.

However, the [Bright Celestial Kingdom], almost reaching its limit after being flooded with a third of the seawater and submerging all the splendor, began to rapidly disintegrate.

Though it wouldn't directly crush the substances inside onto the Legendary Battleship itself, after spewing out enormous quantities of seawater within a radius of tens of kilometers, the surging water level violently tossed the Legendary Battleship high and slammed it down onto the sea surface.

But everyone couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

"We survived, [Bright Celestial Kingdom] is truly the world's strongest shield!"

"Thank the 'Eternal Flame' for its protection!"

"..."

Under the sea, completely unaffected on the [Sea Soul].

Even though she saw them escaping the strongest attack from the [Sea Soul], Olivia displayed no sign of disappointment:

"If it hadn't been for facing the opponent [Crown of Miracles] at that time, combining [Tidal Cannon] and [Underwater Stealth] would have been a divine skill against battleships only sailing on the sea surface...

Mei! Even if the Legendary Battleship attached to God's origin is ultimately captured, we fundamentally cannot use it, just sink it directly for me!"

Although the water cannon shells equipped on the [Sea Soul] are not unusable, their power falls far short of the [Hurricane Missile], opportunities are fleeting.

Through [Dream Cruise] easily avoiding the sea surface storms, the [Crown of Miracles] had returned to the sea surface, Mei, dressed in an attendant officer's military uniform, stood at attention and saluted from afar:

"Yes, [former Missile Launching Well] ready, commence volley fire!"

Whistle! Whistle! Whistle!...

In the raging wind, today's [Hurricane Missile] was ignited for the second time, and this time the quantity was 64, but under the premise of targeting a battleship, this was already rather exaggerated.

"'Flame Bright Light,' defend!"

Despite the breakdown following the overload of [Bright Celestial Kingdom] making it impossible to use this [Legendary Battleship Skill] again for a while. But after the initial round of attack, the Hilus People already roughly discerned some of the missiles' realities, and aren't entirely helpless.

Buzz——

Like the [Solar Flame] solidified on the [Jade Coronet], due to the domain of God, the [Flame Spiritual Light] solidified on this Legendary Battleship was about to rise, preparing to use a high-temperature barrier to prematurely detonate the explosives carried by the missiles. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

However, like during the initial sea trial, effortlessly shattering a Sea Monster's Water Element barrier.

The adaptive Elemental Spirit, located at the missile tip, born and extinguished with low-level intelligence, had already perceived the increasingly active Fire Element fluctuations on the target, preemptively self-destructing to initiate a wave of Fire Element explosion.

Bang!

The Magic Element activity instantly rose to a chaotic level, and the nascent Flame Spiritual Light couldn't finally form due to that momentary disturbance.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the missile ends, now close enough, simultaneously ignited, plunging down like arrows.

Boom——!!!

Even a Legendary Battleship, with its extraordinary transformation complete and hull strength comparable to steel, fared little better than a wooden ship under such intense bombardment.

The Black Gold, with a charge of 640 kilograms, was more than enough to destroy a vast palace, leaving no suspense upon impact.

The wails abruptly ceased in an instant, as splintered wood, iron fragments, and severed limbs flew through the air.

Amidst the roaring flames, the "Flame Bright Light" without any human voices gradually disappeared from the sea's surface.

The duel between the Legendary Battleships, two against one, was the first to determine a victor.

"Even the so-called Legendary Battleship, capable of suppressing a nation's fate, is not invincible.

Perhaps like the rune arrays of School traditions, combining the traits of multiple Legendary Battleships to form a complementary Legendary Fleet is the correct way to utilize such weapons?"

In the reflection of the firelight in Olivia's starlit eyes, the corners of her rosy lips curled slightly:

"Mei, reload with the special variety we prepared in advance. Don't waste it; the conventional fleet of the Hilus Empire... Galliot Marquisate will be receiving it!"

...

In another corner of this sea.

Crackle...

Lightning crackled, and the fierce wind howled.

The "Thorny Fire," with her military uniform slightly torn and hair disheveled, kept flickering around the slightly shrunken Storm Giant Spirit. A sharp golden flame stream, darting left and right, looked for an opportunity to take a vicious bite out of the Storm Giant Spirit.

Suddenly, the Storm Giant Spirit pierced through the atmosphere, rushing forward with a speed completely unbecoming of its massive size, its robust chest opening a gigantic wind tunnel, sucking in the caught-off-guard "Thorny Fire."

The blade-like fierce wind quickly contracted, and the devastating lightning began to rampage, as if it would slice the Titled Knight into pieces and turn them into charred remains in one go.

However.

Slash——

A brilliant golden light flashed, and a large hole blasted open in the back of the Storm Giant Spirit, as the Titled Knight surrounded by a thorny whip nonchalantly emerged, his expression cold yet mocking:

"Heh, using this move again? Have you run out of tricks?"

With another failed attempt to crush his opponent, the Storm Giant Spirit's size diminished slightly once more.

The gap in power between the Storm Giant Spirit and a Titled Knight nearing the consolidation of a [Titled Sacred Artifact] was evidently not as vast as their difference in size.

Although due to having no vulnerability, the [Storm Giant Spirit] maintained firm control in this combat, crushing a Titled Knight as easily as it once did a Tier 3 Great Knight remained impossible.

Even if a victor eventually emerged, it certainly would not happen in a short time.

This also indirectly highlights the characteristics of the "Titled Knight" extraordinary profession, devoid of any creativity, purely born for combat as powerful henchmen under the Church's ruling system.

Most control abilities and mental attacks have no effect on Titled Knights, making them, in a way, like uncooked, unboiled, uncrackable, and unchewable bronze peas.

"Again!"

The Storm Giant Spirit's eyes flashed with electricity as it charged forward once more.

At this time.

Despite being deep in combat, Aiven never forgot to constantly monitor the situation across other battlefields on the sea.

Conventional troops were not worth mentioning; when the peak battle on the sea started, especially after the continuous giant waves caused by the advent of the Storm Giant Spirit, they already focused all efforts on distancing themselves intensely.

This greatly diminished the role of the Quasi-Legendary Battleships.

Established conventions among nations on the battlefield prohibit high-end extraordinaries from wantonly massacring conventional troops, but if they were affected by the battle, they could only accept their bad luck.

In fact, peak extraordinaries, while being a decisive force that could determine the direction of war, could not achieve substantial occupation, control, clearance... work; regular troops remained indispensable.

This mode of combat somewhat resembled ancient military confrontations, where a wave of preliminary skirmishes occurred, and the victorious side could seize the opportunity to kill through and secure victory.

On the other battlefields, with a numerical advantage, the two Legendary Battleships were the first to score a kill; my sister and the Holy Knight were still engaged in a fierce and unresolved fight; however, the side with our strongest forces—my mother-in-law, Snake Witch, and Angie aboard the "Jade Coronet"—was gradually running into trouble.

"The Peak Grand Witch is indeed a far more troublesome existence than Tier 4."

Activating Water Elementalization and lurking underwater all the while, Aiven frowned deeply, realizing that he could no longer afford further delay.

As for ending the battle quickly, a little trick had to be employed.

He gently plucked a strand of his hair and tossed it out.

In a burst of blood-colored spiritual light, it transformed into an "Aiven Galliot" similarly dressed in a Major General's uniform, with only the physical strength of someone newly entering Tier 3.

The real body then swiftly morphed into a fish and chased after.

The next phase involves: Can you guess how many layers of nesting dolls I have?
