Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

"who!"

When attacked, the sergeant immediately shouted.

"Ouch——!"

Eden took a big step forward, leaning forward. As his hands touched the ground, his body instantly swelled in a blue light. His thick dark blue fur fluttered like waves, rolling up an icy mist. The temperature around him dropped sharply, and the grass and trees were covered with frost. In the haze, the Frost Wolf revealed itself.

With a sweep of its front paws, the soldier was instantly smashed into a pulp and stuck to the wall on the side. The giant wolf continued to advance like a chariot, and all the soldiers in front were either smashed to pieces or turned into ice chips by the power of ice.

Eden did not linger on attacking the soldiers because it had noticed that the warship in the distance began to change direction. It immediately summoned ice blade armor to cover its body, turning into a death spiral and crashing into a warship in the sky at the edge of the island.

Perhaps in the original plot, it was she who defeated the soldiers who came to capture Zoe and gained the girl's trust.

Leon withdrew his gaze from the giant wolf, drew on his magic power, and condensed the frost left by Eden into the shaman's elemental arrow.

Ice is a special state of the water element. The caster can generally choose the form according to their needs. Leon chose to use sharp elemental ice blades to shoot at the soldiers, investing 2nd-level magic power. Their armor could not block it, and they were killed one after another by the ice blades.

In less than two minutes, all the soldiers were killed by Li Ang, leaving only one man who looked like a sergeant.

Li Ang asked, "Who sent you here to arrest the child? Why?"

"For the Empire!" the sergeant would only repeat this.

Li Ang knows a little bit about torture methods.

Everything has a spirit, and the thinking and behavior of intelligent races are complex because their spirits are also extremely complex.

At this time, you cannot operate directly like you do with spell materials, and you need precise control.

The spirit of a strong man is very powerful, so Le Ang needs to spend more effort. However, it didn't take Le Ang much time to find the spirituality related to the will in the brain of the ordinary soldier in front of him.

After eliminating this part of the spirituality, the sergeant answered.

"It's the Emperor... I don't know why..."

After asking him several different questions and realizing that the man was just following orders and had no idea what was going on, Leon killed him and walked aside to pick up the strange meter.

Its wriggling structure resembled that of a living thing, and even through the iron gloves, it made people feel nauseous.

After wrapping it in cloth and putting it in his bag, Leon turned his back to the reunited parents and children and walked back to Zoe.

Seeing the girl was a little stunned, he smiled and wiped the blood off her face: "Are you scared?"

“A little bit,” Zoe seemed to force herself to look at the blood of the dead: “But they are bad guys, so I think it’s okay!”

"Let's go." Li Ang patted her shoulder.

In the air, after destroying a warship, Eden ran back at high speed in the air, flew over the heads of the screaming villagers, and flew high into the sky again.

When it flew by, Leon and Zoe jumped up together, grabbed its fur, and rose into the air together.

When the two men climbed onto the giant wolf's back, it had already left Satus Island in the blind spot of the remaining warships.

Zoe peered down, her sight passing through the faint clouds, into a darkness and crimson that stretched to the end of a distant arc. She looked up again, and the horizon ahead and overhead were filled with an endless expanse of starry sky.

"Just like that... you left?"

"Haha." Li Ang touched her little head: "There's always a sense of melancholy when you first set sail. Remember this feeling, it's very precious. You won't be able to recall this youthful feeling in the future."

The girl smiled, reached out and took Leon's hand, brought him to her lap, held it tightly, and rested the back of her head on his chest.

"You two, the danger is not over yet." Eden warned with the low roar of a giant wolf.

It picked up speed, the wind blew violently in its face, and a few strands of chestnut hair sticking out from the edge of Zoe's helmet danced wildly backwards.

"Ah, I know."

Leon found his balance on the wolf's back and stood up. He turned to face the three ships chasing him with their magic furnaces running. "Just taking a breath."

"Leon, are you going to attack them?" Zoe asked.

"Yes, running away is not a solution. They are quite fast and we can't shake them off."

The three ships did not fire at Eden, probably because they saw Zoe on its back and were afraid of hurting her, so they simply chased it.

"How do you fight a ship that big?"

Li Ang smiled at her and said, "Victory doesn't necessarily mean destroying the opponent head-on. We are mortals, so we need to use strategy."

At his feet, more than a dozen magic guns were stacked together. They were just grabbed by spiritual traction and brought to the giant wolf's back.

"What should we do now!" Zoe saw that he seemed to have a plan.

"Like this." Leon grabbed a magic gun, skillfully disassembled its structure, and took out its spirit core.

The operating principle of magical technology is similar to that of energy sources.

Sealed inside the spirit core is the powerful spiritual mineral molten core stone collected from a special mine on Makena Island. Its core will draw magic power to heat itself, and it will explode when it reaches a critical value.

The outer shell of the molten core stone is made of magically inert material and is not easily affected by magic.

Normally, it may take several years for the molten core rocks to explode, and they continue to bring active geological activities to Makena Island.

However, when the outer shell is opened, its self-destruction speed will be greatly increased.

The magic device opens its shell when needed and converts the magic power it draws in into the required energy.

When used as a weapon, this magic power will be guided into the barrel and converted into energy bullets to be fired out.

Zoe followed suit. She was slow to dismantle the pieces, and when she encountered something she didn't understand, she simply used the hilt of the Sword of Wind's Breath to knock it open.

There are sixteen spiritual cores of the Level 2 magic gun. Leon used his spiritual power to pull them around his palm.

It had been a long time since he had done this during his adventuring years, ever since he started using high-level equipment, and now he actually felt a little nostalgic.

Only a master of spiritual control like Leon can allow things of the same spiritual nature to superimpose their spirituality on each other, aggregate into a large spiritual whole, and form a temporary energy source.

[Multiple Magical Cores [Temporary]]

[A temporary energy source formed by temporarily superimposing multiple low-level spirit cores through spiritual manipulation. Due to the large number of them, the magic power output is quite considerable.]

[Level: 2]

【Category: Energy Source】

[Pre-critical magic power reserve: 310%]

【Critical time: 10 seconds】

[Cooling time: 3 minutes]

[Magic Tendency: Generate Fire Element]

The disadvantage of the magic device is that each time it is used, a small amount of magic power will still heat the inside of the molten core stone, and it will still gradually approach the critical point. If it is not used continuously, the magic power will be absorbed by the inert shell for cooling, which may cause overheating and explosion. This is also reflected when it is used as an energy source.

Energy sources created using ancient magic, however, require charging time.

Magic guns using these spirit cores can only fire continuously for 10 seconds, and then need to cool down for 3 minutes. Otherwise, soldiers holding such weapons will become magic turrets, and the use of magic technology will have conquered the world long ago.

This temporary energy source at hand can draw as much magic power as three level 3 spellcasters before reaching critical point.

Even low-level energy sources can attract magic more efficiently than humans themselves. The complex spirituality of intelligent races is primarily reflected in their ability to transform the world through thought, while various natural substances are even more pure in attracting magic, surpassing humans.

Human beings' purely inherent abilities are professional skills. No matter how powerful the magic is, it can only produce miraculous effects in the hands of professionals with superb skills.

Leon asked Zoe to hold the gathered spirit cores, and then turned on the switches on them one by one, revealing the molten stone core inside.

After all, it is just a temporary fix and is very troublesome to use.

Manipulating the magic of the energy source and adding some of his own magic, Leon directly performed two elemental summoning spells. Two 4th-level fire elements appeared beside him, like two fire men without legs but with only flame vortexes forming their lower limbs.

Although one's own magic power is added, the consumption is very small. This is the effect of the energy source. If there is a high-level energy source, it will be of great help.

But the low-level spirit cores still didn't work. After releasing two level 4 spells, the residual magic power directly caused more than a dozen spirit cores to enter criticality, and they were about to explode.

Zoe felt the heat pressing in and nervously turned off the switches.

The two fire elementals jumped directly from the wolf's back. Their bodies were full of flames and they were as light as a feather. The heat emitted by the vortex of flames could control the direction of flight, and they successfully flew with the wind to the deck of a ship chasing them from behind.

43. Different routes

【Fire Element Creation】

[The elemental summoning spell gathers fire elements to form a combat creature. It is constantly attacking. Until the magic power input by the user is exhausted, it will continue to replenish elements and repair its body without stopping the battle.]

Species: Element

【Battle Wisdom: Level 4】

Servant: None

Energy Source: None

[Body Strength: Flame Body, Level 3.]

【Special Attack: Big Explosion】

[Skill: Elemental Body]

[Combat Power Increase: 0]

The fire elemental creature landed in front of them, and the soldiers raised their magic guns and fired, but the energy bullets did little damage to the fire elemental creature.

They were a ball of fire, moving very fast, directly across the deck and arriving in front of the magic power reactor at the end of the deck.

A fire element hugged the furnace and directly launched a special attack.

"boom--!"

The explosion caused by the 4th level magic power set off a huge flame and shock wave, almost knocking over half of the soldiers on the deck.

The outer shell of the power reactor was made of extraordinary materials and was not destroyed in the explosion, but only showed signs of disintegration.

But there was a second one clinging to the stove.

Some brave soldiers tried to step forward to stop the fire element, but as soon as they got close, they were burned by its scorching flames and screamed.

"boom--!"

The shock wave broke open the outer shell, and the explosion destroyed the parts inside, directly overloading the large molten core stone that was attracting magic power, and the other rotating molten core stones were also approaching criticality one by one.

Multiple large molten cores overheated and exploded continuously, almost blowing the tail of the airship apart.

The airship's forward speed suddenly slowed down, and then slowly stopped.

"So this is possible?" Zoe watched the fireworks show with wide eyes.

"In adventure, sometimes it's just a matter of finding a weakness to save effort."

Li Ang smiled and said, "Although magic technology allows low-level professionals to master a certain amount of power, and the speed of these airships is comparable to traditional airships engraved with high-level magic arrays, their weaknesses are still too obvious when encountering strong opponents."

For powerful sky knights, buying warships will not be their priority. Although ships can be equipped with turrets, they are of limited effectiveness against monsters with supernatural powers and other adventurers.

If you really want to use a ship as a weapon, instead of making a huge investment to buy powerful naval guns, it is better to build a good set of equipment. Wearing this equipment, it is not a problem for one person to paralyze a warship.

However, the other two pursuing warships did not slow down at all. They neither rescued their colleagues who might fall into the bloody land due to gradual loss of power, nor were they afraid of the possibility of being attacked in the same way.

"These guys..."

Leon was surprised by their madness.

"Why do they have to catch me?" Zoe hugged Eden's long hair, her voice blurred in the wind.

Leon vaguely knew the name of the Holy Sporir Empire. There were countless countries in the airspace, and any particularly noteworthy one would immediately come to mind. It must be some less prominent force.

I don’t know what happened to them, but they suddenly got a large amount of magical technology weapons and targeted Zoe.

When Eden arrived here, he first sensed the Star Soul and then the Star Soul Greenhouse. As for the Empire? Judging from the fact that they captured the child and used strange instruments to test him, their initial target was Zoe.

Could it have something to do with her parents?

The power of that instrument should be the same as that of the black lightning cannon. Leon plans to take it to an appraiser he knows for identification.

In short, this empire was obviously the early villain in the original game plot.

Leon was about to summon the fire element again when Eden yelled, "Watch out!"

In the clouds ahead, the bows of two even larger magical airships appeared.

As the giant wolf saw them, it began to create floating ice shields in front of it.

It turned out that there were more than five Imperial spaceships in the nearby airspace, and they could also call for reinforcements.

The two ships that intercepted halfway quickly closed the distance and had a height difference, with the aim of completely blocking the route ahead, and the two strange cannons at the front of their bows had begun to charge.

"Warning flying monsters, this is the capital ship of the First Fleet of the Holy Sporial Empire Knights, coming to capture the Empire's most wanted criminal! Stop fleeing and surrender!"

A shrill voice came from the big ship, amplified by the loudspeaker and heard clearly in the night wind.
