The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

"Ah."

Doni nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed on the water bullets hurtling towards him.

Faced with such a devastating attack, he felt no fear whatsoever; instead, he fell into a strange state.

The high-speed water bullets appeared incredibly slow to Doni, and he could even predict the landing point of each one.

If someone stood directly in front of Doni, they would see a complex pattern appearing in his pupils.

"Snapped!"

Water bombs struck the sea surface one after another, creating huge waves.

However, under Doni's precise control, the Yukikaze darted through the giant waves like a fish, avoiding all attacks and emerging unscathed from the spray.

The barrier that Lisette painstakingly set up had only one effect: to block the seawater and prevent everyone from getting soaked.

In that short interval, the distance between the Yukikaze and the Ghost Battleship had already closed to a thousand meters.

"Bang bang bang!"

Another salvo was fired, this time with an even denser barrage of water bullets, which helped to predict the direction of the Yukikaze's advance.

However, under Doni's skillful maneuvering, the Yukikaze drew a perfect arc, narrowly avoiding all the water bullets.

If one failure could be explained by an accident, two consecutive mishaps finally made the Ghost Battleship realize the extraordinary nature of the Yukikaze.

With a deep roar, a ghostly warhorse leaped off the warship, its hooves pounding the waves as it galloped towards the shore like a floating duckweed.

“That’s Hogg!” Donnie recognized the rider on horseback at a glance.

Although the appearance of the Iron Anchor Pirates' captain has not changed, the aura he exudes indicates that he is no longer a pure human.

“So you’ve sent out your own apostles too…” Venere narrowed his eyes.

He noticed that Hogg's condition was very similar to that of Kelda, whom he had encountered before; Hogg was clearly a human emblem user who had been transformed into a demon apostle.

Hogg was getting closer and closer to the Snowwind, and Venere had his hand on the snow sleeve, ready to strike at any moment.

However, Felix jumped off the deck first.

"Leave this to me, I'll avenge Donnie!"

He flipped in the air, and just before he was about to fall into the sea, the Demon Blade Thousand Blades in his hair suddenly disintegrated and quickly reassembled, transforming into a surfboard that steadily supported his feet.

With the aid of this unique "mount," Felix's figure moved like a silver streak, weaving through the waves at a speed no less than that of the ghostly warhorse.

"Hey, come and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"

Felix drew his sword in a provocative manner towards Hogg, intentionally controlling the Demon Blade Thousand Blades to move away from the Snowwind.

"Want to duel?"

Hogg's pupils contracted slightly, not expecting his opponent to respond in this way.

But that's fine, he was planning to test his strength after becoming an apostle.

Hogg bent down, and the black warhorse obeyed its master's will, quickly chasing after him.

"laugh!

Hogg, who was accelerating faster in a straight line, made the first move, his spear whistling through the air as if it wanted to shred everything in front of him.

Felix neither dodged nor evaded, but instantly swung his sword, a silver light precisely slashing at the spearhead Hogg was thrusting at.

"clang!"

The spearhead snapped off with a snap, and the remaining force caused Hogg's arm to tremble slightly.

Just as Felix was about to press his advantage, the ghostly warhorse suddenly reared up and kicked Felix in the chest.

If he had been grounded, Felix could have easily dodged it with his agility, but unfortunately he wasn't.

He parried with his sword, but was still thrown back by the enormous impact.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Hogg quickly plunged the broken spear shaft into the sea. When he pulled it out, the spear gleamed with a cold light, and the tip was restored to its original state.

"Good weapon."

Hogg glanced at the longsword in Felix's hand, a hint of greed in his eyes.

“Good horse.”

Felix also returned the compliment.

If it weren't for the ghostly warhorse coming to his rescue, that sword strike would have been enough to decapitate him.

Felix and Hogg were locked in battle once again.

Having learned his lesson, Hogg was more cautious this time, pouring a large amount of magic into his spear, and thankfully, his weapon was not easily severed again.

Felix fought and retreated simultaneously, seemingly at a disadvantage, but in reality, his advances and retreats were well-organized and he left no openings.

Just as Hogg was about to launch a charge with the help of the ghostly warhorse, several sharp sword energies suddenly shot out from the void, blocking their path.

Sensing danger, the ghostly warhorse neighed and flung Hogg away, but it was not spared and was cut into several pieces by the sword energy buried by Shi Chuanjian.

"Now you're out of horses."

Felix was not as carefree and cheerful as usual.

His goal was clear: to avenge Donnie's father.

Chapter 542 Boarding Action and Tensa Zangetsu

Without his warhorse, Hogg was no match for Felix.

The seemingly fierce spear was easily neutralized by Felix.

No matter what kind of injury he suffered, even if he was cut in half at the waist, Hogg's body could reassemble itself in the next second and then stick to Felix like a stubborn plaster.

This bizarre regenerative ability reminded Vena of the ghosts she encountered on the island.

"Immortality is hard to say, but I have certainly witnessed immortality."

Realizing that Felix's battle was unlikely to end anytime soon, Viner withdrew her gaze.

"I'm afraid this warship is the real body," Listy warned.

She could sense that Hogg had some kind of special connection with the ghostly warship.

It was the constant power supplied by the warships that allowed him to be resurrected time and time again.

However, Hogg's ghost horse was not so lucky; it was destroyed by Felix and never appeared again.

"They're treating us like fish." Vena swung her sword and severed the nets fired by the warship.

As the distance decreases, the Ghost Ship's attack methods become more diverse.

Besides the powerful water bombs, there are also fishing nets and harpoons.

If Vina wasn't mistaken, the other side had also dropped many buoys into the sea.

Under this combined offensive, it has become increasingly difficult for the Yukikaze to evade the attacks. Lisette has reinforced the barrier several times before finally reaching her current position.

"The distance is enough."

Lisette estimated the range and the speed of the Yukikaze, and began to swing her staff.

“Rikka!” Vena shouted immediately.

Without hesitation, Rikka, having received the order, swung her arms and the Micro Blade Hairpin instantly broke free, disintegrating and reassembling in mid-air, with countless parts being assembled onto the Yukikaze.

What followed was a scene that left the Anchor Pirates speechless.

What was originally just a speedboat, the Yukikaze, broke free from the sea and took to the air, transforming into an airship.

Its speed and maneuverability have clearly surpassed the scope of levitation.

The Ghost Ship may be unmatched at sea, but the sky is the stage for the Yukikaze.

The crew frantically raised the gun barrels and adjusted the angle, but Thales had clearly not considered the possibility of anti-air combat when building the warship.

Their attacks were futile; they could only watch helplessly as the Yukikaze skillfully climbed and circled, eventually hovering directly above the Ghost Battleship.

That was a blind spot that no other artillery could reach.

"Kagero Explosion!"

Listy slammed her staff down, and a blazing flare descended from the sky, illuminating the night sky as if it were daytime.

The ball of high-temperature energy landed on the deck and exploded with a deafening roar, turning the entire warship into a sea of ​​fire.

"呲-"

The fire raged on the warship for only a moment before a thick cloud of black mist rose up and quickly extinguished the flames.

The remaining black mist then reformed into the annihilated sailors.

Without hesitation, the resurrected ghosts dismantled the cannons on both sides, using their own bodies as gun mounts, pointing directly at the Yukikaze overhead.

"So, it really can't be left without destroying the core?" Viner clicked her tongue, then instructed Listy, "The ship is yours to handle."

After saying that, he changed into the Thief's Armor and jumped off the Yukikaze together with Rikka.

The two men moved faster than the ghost crew members could aim. The enormous impact of the fall made them unsteady on their feet, and the cannons that were already poised to fire exploded directly on the ship.

"boom!!!"

The warship suffered another major blow.

“Mr. Venere!” Donnie’s urgent voice rang in Venere’s mind. “I think I’ve found the ship’s power center.”

"Give me directions."

Wiener gave a brief response, which also deterred two ghosts that tried to block his way.

Without stopping, he quickly rushed down to the next level, following Donnie's directions.

The ghost warship seemed to have sensed his intentions, and once again gathered a thick cloud of black mist to block his path, seemingly trying to seal off the way to the core.

In that instant, a dazzling golden light shot out from the Yukikaze, like the dawn sunlight piercing through the darkness, forming a barrier to clear a path for Vina.

Wherever the light touched, the originally ferocious ghosts let out piercing howls, and even the condensed black mist was forcibly separated, unable to get any closer.

"Thank you so much, Lisette," Venus silently thanked her.

"Go ahead without worry, I'll take care of the cover," Lisette's voice rang out.

Faced with these vengeful spirits that resembled evil beings, holy magic displayed an extremely strong suppressive power.

More importantly, these spells will not harm the crew members on the ship.

After confirming that Wiener had successfully entered the lower deck, she immediately turned her attention to Rikka.

"Righteousness shines like a rainbow!"

Lisette sang softly, and a pure radiance enveloped the six flowers.

With the support of this energy, Rikka's body, along with the Three Heavens Blade in her hand, began to expand, taking over the previous sacred barrier and guarding the entrance to the lower level.

The ghosts that tried to rush in were intimidated by its sacred aura and dared not approach.

"I won't let you pass."

Liu Hua spoke calmly, but the Three Heavens Blade in her hand already exuded a chilling aura.

The enormous blade stood before the ghosts, like an insurmountable city wall.

......

"Don't try to escape!"

Upon realizing that the warship was in danger, Hogg immediately wanted to return to provide support, but Felix would not allow him to do so.

If previously Hogg had been like a persistent leech, trying to buy time so that the Ghost Ship could deal with the Yukikaze first.

Now the situation has completely reversed.

Knowing that the other party would not let him leave easily, Hogg hardened his heart and deliberately charged into Felix's sword.

His body was instantly sliced ​​in two.

Felix wasn't surprised, after all, this scene had been repeated countless times.
