Wizard: You can become stronger by living life to the fullest.

The surrounding space suddenly cleared out, and a large number of harpies in the air were frozen into ice sculptures and fell below the clouds. The third-circle spells showed their powerful strength at this moment.

"Splash!"

Before Rosie could catch her breath, the sound of flapping wings came again, and a large number of harpies gathered from all directions, instantly filling the area that had just been cleared, even more in number than before, surrounding the airship in layers.

The airship's defenses were already quite adequate, but they were still insufficient against so many harpies. The already damaged protective magic quickly became even more riddled with holes, and more and more harpies took the opportunity to rush onto the deck and attack the crew.

"Fight! Fight!"

"Chop them down!"

At this critical moment, the crew members had put all their strength into fighting desperately. However, they were far inferior to the harpies in both strength and numbers. Apart from the unicorn, the rest of them could hardly defeat any harpy in a one-on-one fight.

As a result, casualties quickly occurred on the deck. First were the goblins. Although these small magical creatures were proficient in various magical instruments, their individual strength was weaker than that of ordinary humans. Now, they became the first targets of the harpies' first wave of attacks.

As the wailing of the banshees swept out, ordinary people might be able to hold out for a while, but these little guys couldn't withstand it. Their fragile bodies were torn to pieces by the sound waves, and even just being hit by the aftershocks of the sound waves caused them to bleed from all seven orifices and fall to the ground dead.

More than half of the dozen or so goblins fell instantly in the first wave of contact, even though some of them were protected by other crew members.

Besides the goblins, the remaining crew members were also in dire straits. Whether they were human slaves or minotaurs, their individual strength was at most limited to the knight level, far from being able to contend with harpies at the wizard level.

In no time, crew members fell to the ground one after another, and even three of the tough-skinned minotaurs were killed. The situation was already extremely precarious.

"Damn it!"

Rosie in the sky frowned deeply. He had exhausted all his resources to build this wizard ship, and only with great difficulty had he managed to assemble a team that was barely able to sail. Now, he was losing almost half of his manpower. It was impossible for him not to be anxious.

Seeing that things were about to continue like this, the airship was likely to be destroyed here. He couldn't care less about staying behind and immediately threw several high-level spells into the harpy horde. At the same time, he summoned all the undead minions, including Hellfire and Baldr, to help in the battle. He hadn't summoned them before to reduce the loss of mental energy, because their fighting style was too crude, and he was worried that they would cause too much damage to the airship during the battle.

They're almost wiped out right now, so they can't worry about the damage. They can always figure out how to repair it after they get through this.

"Boom!"

"Whoosh!"

"Crackling and popping!"

After several powerful spells, including the Frost Sword, Thunderous Fury, and Storm Tide, the surging harpies were once again driven back, and the previously dire situation was slightly salvaged.

"Harpies? How could there be harpies here?!"

"Damn, there are way too many!"

Just then, a loud noise suddenly reached my ears, and I saw several airships billowing black smoke flying over from behind. Judging from the situation, they must have broken away from the battlefield of the Darkwing Clan and were fleeing in this direction.

"ah!!!"

The newly appeared airships immediately attracted the attention of the harpies. The monsters let out sharp screams and rushed towards their new prey. Suddenly, the pressure on Rosie's side was greatly reduced.

Luo Xi's eyes lit up, knowing that he had to seize this hard-won opportunity.

"Reynard, follow me and charge forward!"

He raised the Grim Reaper's scythe, expanding the static force field to its maximum extent in all directions, while simultaneously mobilizing his mental force field to spread outwards to both sides.

The mental energy field of the intermediate wizard was a whole level higher than that of the harpies present. When this powerful mental energy swept over them, these creatures immediately felt fear instinctively.

Harpies are non-intelligent life forms. Their behavior is no different from that of jungle beasts. They bully weak creatures at will, while avoiding strong creatures. They are typical bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong.

If there were no other targets, these harpies, restrained by the power of their kind, would have attacked Rosie relentlessly, no matter how terrified they were. But now that a new target had appeared, the fearful harpies switched their targets and rushed towards the other airships, leaving only a few less intelligent harpies to continue attacking this side, all of whom were wiped out by Rosie wielding her scythe of death.

Renard, in the cockpit, also noticed this, and the experienced man immediately turned the engine to maximum, closely following behind Rosie.

And so, Rosie wielded the Grim Reaper's scythe in front, unleashing powerful magic to clear a path, while Leonard followed closely behind in his airship, advancing along the bloody trail Rosie had carved out.

They continued breaking through for a good ten minutes before finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Sir, look ahead, at three o'clock!"

While Rosie was engaged in battle, Leonard's voice suddenly rang in her ears. He was shouting at Rosie through the magical megaphone on the airship.

Looking in the direction he described, Luo Xi saw a large, clear space in the middle of the thick clouds at the three o'clock position, with a diameter of over several hundred meters, as if a door had been opened in the sea of ​​clouds.

Clearly, this is the passage between the sky world and the land world—the Gate of Heaven!

In the Sky World, besides the fixed Sky Gates in specific locations, Sky Gates can also randomly appear in some places due to changes in airflow and elements, like the one in front of us.

However, these sky gates are not very stable. They usually don't last long and are quickly swallowed up and disappear by the boundary clouds. The sky gate in front of us is no exception. At this moment, it can be seen with the naked eye that it is gradually shrinking.

Rosie rushed over there, and fortunately, the number of harpies gathered around was not too large. With a few high-level spells, he quickly cleared the area, and took the opportunity to land on the deck.

At the same time, Leonard piloted his airship straight into the sky gate, disappearing completely beneath the sea of ​​clouds. (End of Chapter)
