"Hurry up and increase the speed!" Vincent finally saw the appearance of the monster clearly. After estimating the possibility of winning, he felt that it was best to leave the water quickly.
Although the crew had expended a lot of energy from all-night entertainment, words like "monster attack" had a greater restorative power than any rest. They quickly threw away their investments and cards, even ignoring the gold coins scattered on the deck.
The three sails of the Conch were unfolded, and Jebo personally stood next to the steering wheel to control his beloved ship. However, the weak sea breeze in the early morning made the ship still seem a bit slow.
"What is that?" Mond lay on the side of the boat and looked under the water, but saw nothing. "Is there any way to deal with it?"
"It's difficult to deal with, especially in this water-filled environment." Vincent shook his head, thinking about whether to release some of the ghosts in the undead magic beads to fight: "That's a skeleton gelatinous monster. Once it's stained by it, , all flesh and blood will melt. The only good news is that this ship is not on its menu." Then the mage looked down again and said something that frustrated everyone on the ship: "If the ship is a conch, Then we are just snail meat, now I just hope that the snail shell can last longer.”
"Glato monster?" Shelley pulled Soka and stood next to Vincent: "This kind of thing needs to be burned with fire to achieve good results, but in this water area, any flame will be greatly reduced. Vincent, you are not hiding now. It’s a good time for identity, if the boat breaks down and we fall into the water, there will be no hope.”
Vincent nodded and put the scroll in his pocket where it was easily accessible inside his sleeve. Then, he said to Sokka: "Little guy, fly to the sky with your things and never come down."
The angel shook the bow and arrow in his hand and spread his wings: "I know, I will support you up there." Soka tied the tiger to his chest with a rope and whispered to it: "Little tiger. We are not afraid. ,do you know!"
Even if the mage decides to take action, he hopes to release the spell only when combat is unavoidable. If the power of magic is revealed too early, the sailors will be confused before the monsters arrive. In the minds of ordinary people, there is no difference between people with magical power and monsters.
Sokka spread his wings and flew into the sky, surprising the entire crew. For a moment, they forgot about the monster lurking under their feet , and they all looked up at this spectacle. Even Mond Knight, who already knew Sokka's identity , saw an angel flying for the first time. He tightened his grip on the sword in his hand. Muttering to himself, no one knew what he was praying for.
Vincent took advantage of everyone's attention to be diverted and hurriedly released some ghosts from the undead magic beads . Once used, the undead inside will never be imprisoned by the magic beads again . Although it is a simple matter to accumulate the power of such an artifact, it is consumed just as quickly. Vincent does not expect the released undead to be able to stop the skeleton glue monster, but hopes to use the special abilities of ghosts and shadow creatures to reduce the opponent's power.
As long as something still has vitality, it must be afraid of the power from the world of death. Although there are many banshees, skeletons and zombies in Vincent's magic beads , these things either do not pose a threat, or they simply serve as food for the gelatinous monsters.
Just releasing a small group of ghosts is enough to make the surrounding temperature start to drop. The cold wind sobered the crew. Return your attention to the danger you are about to face. A large shadow gradually became clear from directly below the ship. And around it, there are many small shadows rotating quickly moving around.
Jebo turned the boat sharply, trying to get out of the shadowy area. But the skeleton glue monster's body is too huge, and its movement speed is much faster in the water than on the ground. No matter how hard Jiebo tried, the mass was still stuck to the bottom of the boat.
"Damn it!" After seeing the appearance of the bone glue monster, only Vincent and Mond could curse out, while the others fell into fear. This is different from the might of the dragon or the fearful aura of the lich , but it is completely the instinctive emotion of the prey after being targeted by the predator. The Skeleton Glue Monster looks just like its name. It is a huge, constantly undulating and rolling ball of glue. It is pale in color, just like bones that have been completely corroded. Countless bone fragments were staggered and protruding from his gelatinous skin. Make this monster look like a ball of needles. Although it seems that those bones cannot withstand the beating, what the Bone Glue Monster relies on is not those bone spurs in the first place.
The most terrifying thing about this monster is its digestive ability. He has no mouth, nor even the so-called distinction between head and body. It can detect what's happening around it through vibrations, and then wrap things that may be living creatures into its body. The gray bodily fluid will immediately start working, pulling out the target's flesh and blood from any possible gap - the mouth, nose, and even pores. Apart from transforming into a moving mass of blood-mist flesh and being absorbed by the monster, the skeletal remains are the last thing left in the world by that life.
"Bastard!" Shelley thrust the thin sword in her hand into the "tentacle" of a skeleton glue monster beside her, and the spiral magic weapon penetrated easily. Vincent made the rapier based on his ability to explode lightning . As long as it has enough speed, the weapon can imitate all the effects of Vincent's lightning.
The sudden explosion shattered the gray gel tentacle clinging to the ship. Shelley was startled and quickly backed away. The Skeleton Glue Monster does not feel pain, but this huge vibration reminds it of the location of its enemy. Before Shelley could land, multiple tentacles rushed towards her quickly.
"The real magic is here, you spoiled jelly!" Vincent took out the magic scroll and pointed the staff at the tentacles: "Serial lightning!"
Because most of the magic he prepared himself was to adjust the atmosphere of the banquet, the powerful spells used in battle could only be released with scrolls.
Vincent, who fought with all his strength with the highest magic power, lived up to Shelley's expectations. Those gray tentacles were blown away by the continuous strong blast of air in the air. The Conch's hull shook violently, and the sudden crosswind made it unbearable. But we should thank the Skeleton Glue Monster. It was its underwater tentacles that kept the ship from capsizing.
Some gray gelatin fell from the air one after another, and it felt like needle pricks on the skin. If they were not brushed away quickly, it would cause severe skin bleeding. At Vincent's prompting, the sailors quickly put on protective clothing and held on to the ropes around them one by one. Prevent being thrown overboard.
The Mond knight would not be stupid enough to use his own weapon to cut the monster. Not to mention whether it could cause damage, the sticky liquid would first suck his long sword into his body and never be able to pull it out. He could only pick up a thick piece of wood and hit the gray glue on the deck with force like swatting flies, breaking them into pieces and scattering them, trying to make the bone glue monster loosen the ship as much as possible.
Little Sokka in the sky can be said to be the safest person. She hides out of the attack range of the skeleton glue monster. Continuously attack downwards with bows and arrows with super long range and high speed. It is a pity that this monster on the sea has no obvious vital points. No arrow shot at it will cause any substantial harm except temporarily knocking back his body for a period of time.
"Hmph! This big guy is so annoying!" Sokka realized that there were not many bows and arrows on his back, so he changed his strategy and started shooting at the threatening tentacles to cover his friends.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
Although his chain lightning greatly boosted the morale of the crew, Vincent was not satisfied with the effect. This spell is basically the limit of his current spell ability. If it can only destroy a small part of the tentacles, then it is simply impossible to completely repel the bone glue monster before his power is exhausted.
"We still have to find a way to escape!" Vincent looked at the monster that was getting taller and taller. Immediately aware of its intention: "Want to swallow the whole boat together. Dreaming!"
the skeleton glue monster was suppressed, Vincent only had time to erect two force field walls, and a huge roar came from above his head. Deafening. When all the crew members thought they would be crushed by the shadow that covered the sky, an invisible wall protected the top of the ship.
But Vincent didn't feel so good. In order to prevent the force field from being crushed in the first hit due to insufficient force field capabilities, the mage continuously transports the power of the magic source into the transparent wall, and he is the transfer station of this power. Although the force field wall was crumbling now, it was not broken at least, but Vincent also received a heavy blow because of his spiritual connection with the protective layer, and his head was buzzing.
"Captain! That thing is pressing down on the bottom of the ship now. I'm afraid the keel can't bear it!" A sailor ran up from the bottom cabin. He shouted with sweat dripping down his back: "There is already a crunching sound, what should I do now?"
"First use the wooden board to prop it up, and be ready to fill the gap at any time!" Jiebo tightly grasped the crumpled sailor's hat, and his eyes could not be separated from the skeleton glue monster above his head: "Oh my god, what evil has this done? Ah! God of the sea, please let us poor people go!"
"Except for the necessary personnel to drive the ship, all leave the deck!" Mond shouted loudly, replaced a new plank, and waved to encourage the lost crew: "Cheer up. Until now, this monster Isn’t there still nothing you can do against us?!”
Vincent stood up unsteadily, using the power staff to support his body. Although the bone glue monster has returned to its original appearance and no longer needs the force field wall to support it, the mage still has a sense of powerlessness in his heart. "Undead! Use the fastest speed to absorb the physical strength of the skeleton glue monster and let it roll under the sea."
Although the ghosts and shadow creatures tried their best, the Skeleton Glue Monster was too huge . It looked like a collection of dead corpses and had a certain resistance to the attacks of undead creatures. This gray gelatinous mass has no ability to fight back against the undead that have lost their physical bodies, but it can still choose to ignore these little flies and pounce on them slowly and unstoppably.
"Wall of fire!" Vincent lit a raging fire on the transparent force field wall, and the skeleton glue monster shrank back in fright due to the sudden heat. It seems that such things living in the sea can also remember that fire is a huge threat to them. However, it will still take a long time to drive away the gel monsters with flames. The flames on the force field wall cannot last long because they have no combustible support.
"Conch" suddenly tilted its body and burst out with a breaking sound. A clear "click" made all the crew members' nerves tense. If there is still a way to deal with this monster on the ship, then the crew members who fall into the sea will have no choice but to inevitably become the meal of the skeleton glue monster. Vincent can make a few people fly. At least he, Shelley and Mond can all leave the sea safely. But once there are no ships, they cannot survive on the sea.
"Asshole! Looks like we have to make a desperate move!" Vincent shouted to Mond: "Knight, you protect Shelley on the deck. If something happens to her, I will never spare the paladin!" After saying that, he ignored Mond's answer. He got into the cabin head first.
There have been many cracks in the hull, and the sea water has reached the feet. But with the help of the Skeleton Glue Monster, water seepage will not be a big problem for the time being. The sailors were holding repair boards and patching the cracks, but these fragile things were not enough to prevent the bone glue monster from infiltrating.
"Damn thing!" Vincent used a lightning beam against a crack in the wall. Only this type of magic could maintain its power in the water. The gray gelatin was blown away, and the numbness caused it to twitch and shrink back. Sea water poured in. However, he was resisted by the sailors who had been waiting aside.
The situation at the bottom of the ship was even worse, with cracks in the earth already appearing on the keel. If the gelatinous monster exerts any more force , the entire ship will be completely crushed once the keel breaks. Vincent quickly put his hand on the bottom of the boat, took out the "Law of Creation" scroll, and began to change the type of matter on the bottom of the boat.
The skeleton glue monster has a large number of bone fragments in its body, which also hinders its flexibility of movement and gives the mage time to cast spells. But in a hurry, Vincent had no time to transform the hull into a super-solid object like mithril. The iron keel was already the limit of his ability.
"Is this okay?" The crew members touched the hard hull with incredulous expressions: "How can an iron thing float on the water?"
"Whether it floats or not is a matter for later!" Vincent put the scroll back into his arms: "We must first deal with the monster in front of us!"
There was a bang. The entire Conch flew sideways. There were huge waves on the water. The people on the deck were drenched in seawater. Fortunately, most of the people held on to the cables and were not thrown off the boat. But the people under the cabin did not make any preparations. They were thrown towards the iron wall of the ship.
Vincent once again used the power of his "left hand". Ignore the attack you received. Still standing peacefully in the bilge. Many sailors hit their heads on the iron plate with bloodshed, and many fell down.
"It seems that the gelatinous monster has temporarily let go. This is an opportunity!" Vincent grabbed a guy next to him who was not seriously injured and pushed him towards the cabin door: "Tell the captain to let him sail quickly!"
Because the iron bulkhead also began to deform, an obvious dent was not far from the mage. The gelatinous monster only used the force to break the wooden board last time, so this layer of iron board was spared. Next time, when it uses full force, Vincent has no way to stop it.
Vincent thought for a moment and said, "Always pay attention to fixing leaks. Be careful of burns." After that, he also ran to the deck. Not far from them, the gelatinous monster came through the waves, like a huge wave in a tsunami pressing down on it. Little Sokka fired arrows anxiously in the air, but her attack seemed to be of no avail. Shelley looked at Vincent, ignoring the bleeding wound on her foot, and smiled. Only Mond was still swinging the rope into the sea, trying to rescue the fallen crew members as soon as possible.
"If you want to eat us, then you can eat us!" Vincent stood on the boat. That is the place closest to the Bone Glue Monster : "If this will be the end of me, then you will go to hell before me!"
After saying that, he released a wall of fire at his feet, igniting all the outer wood chips of the entire ship. Everyone looked at all this in surprise, wondering what Vincent wanted to do. Did he commit suicide in advance to avoid the pain of being dissolved? Everyone was stunned except Knight Mond, who was still in the sea of fire and threw the rope in his hand into the water, then pulled hard regardless of the risk of burns.
"Set the boat quickly! Get out of this water!" Vincent shouted to the captain: "There is a layer of iron underneath the planks, so the boat will not burn to pieces for a while. But if we don't leave quickly, there's no telling! "
"There is no wind, what can I do?" The captain's eyebrows and hair have begun to curl. People standing at the top always feel the warmest temperature: "Can you create wind?"
Vincent calculated the distance of the Skeleton Glue Monster, and then nodded: "Hold on to the hull, we are going to fly! Shelley, you have to be careful!"
After saying that, Vincent threw a lightning ball into the sea under the stern of the boat.
"Catch me if you can! You piece of snot!" Vincent cursed the gelatinous monster in front of him, and then clung to the side of the boat. A huge explosion occurred underwater, and huge waves set off between the stern of the ship and the gelatinous monster . Although there was no wind, the Conch was still pushed forward, while the Skeleton Glue Monster retreated a little. The huge bumps caused the hull to erupt in painful groans. This was simply a test of the monster's perseverance as to whether it could get rid of that mass before the hull exploded.
The second, third, and fourth explosions occurred at the stern of the ship, but the Skeleton Glue Monster still followed closely. Vincent has realized the limits of the hull. Whether it is fire or the impact of huge waves, the Conch will be destroyed. A silver ball of light appeared on his left hand, ready to attack the monster in front of him with all his strength. If he couldn't succeed, he would only have the power to fly his partner into the sky.
Not only because of the fire all over the sky but also because of the tenacity of its prey, the Skeleton Glue Monster finally gave up on the boat in front of it. Maybe it has calculated which one is better than eating its prey or suffering physical damage, but the mage believes that this monster is not so intelligent yet, and maybe it is just instinct that makes it give up. Just as Vincent was gathering his magic power, the gray jelly finally slowed down, was gradually left behind, and disappeared on the sea. Vincent switched to chain lightning, creating a circle of water around the ship, and used them to extinguish the flames on the hull.
"Is it over like this?" Knight Mond's arms were covered with red-hot wounds, but he still held on to the long rope that threatened the life of the drowned sailor: "Will the monster come back?"
"I don't know, maybe leaving here quickly is the only option." Vincent looked at the dilapidated Conch, which was a brightly lit banquet venue just a few hours ago. He said: "Mond, let me help you, pull those people up quickly.
