This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 172 The Shame of the Nine Rings

When the ghost ship rode the wind and waves, the opponent's fleet finally appeared on the sea level.

 Twelve huge warships surrounded them in a semicircle, and each enemy ship hung the flag of the wind and the raging tide.

Thunder condensed on the mast of each battleship and was continuously fired towards the ghost ship.

However, the dark mist seems to have a strong misleading and blocking effect on these thunders. Most of the thunder dissipates in the black mist, and occasionally the thunder and lightning that can penetrate the black mist will deflect to unknown places.

 How is the war at sea fought?

Amberxiu felt that his horizons had been opened. The next step should be a very exciting sea chase. Can he drift around corners and drive the battleship like a racing car, and then fire magic at each other in a brilliant way?

 Unfortunately, the next battle made Amberxiu a little disappointed.

The ghost ship rushed to the Storm Son's warship as fast as possible, and the sharp swordfish bow seemed to have pierced the hull of the opponent's warship. Both ships shook violently and were firmly nailed together, and then Phil began to fight.

 Amberson:…

Two Stormson warships broke through the black fog, attacked from both sides, and slammed into the ghost ship.

 And Phil was not fighting alone. After he gained a foothold on the splint, a large number of ghosts poured out from the ship and pounced on these sons of the storm of the Raging Tide Kingdom.

The effect of the black mist is obviously so strong, it can block sight and perception, and can even deflect spell bombardments.

 But this was only the first enemy ship.

Amberxiu had to levitate to avoid being knocked to the ground by the impact.

This ugly harpoon flew out like lightning, strung together the three sailors on the opposite side, and then nailed it into the plywood.

 Alas, the flames of war were burning on him, and Amberxiu could only defend himself.

Amberxiu finally understood why Phil was dismissive of these Sons of the Storm. There was indeed a huge gap in combat power, and the opponents were killed without the ability to fight back.

What primitive fighting methods, but this ghost ship was blinded in vain.

The fighting method of ghosts is very strange. They can ignore the armor on the opponent's body and directly penetrate into the body to possess them. Many children of the storm were controlled before they could avoid it, and then they wielded their long swords and slashed at their companions.

If Ambersho was fighting this battle, he would keep the distance within the black mist, and then use this advantage to flood the enemy with a massive amount of spells.

Then, these sons of the storm started a new round of gang-hopping war.

Amberxiu also saw at this time that Phil was a berserker type. He was very fast and powerful. His body looked very fragile, but he could wave his harpoon against the wandering thunderbolts, like It's like it's not affected at all.

Amberxiu was speechless. What kind of battles are they fighting?

It's just that Phil, the sharp spear, seems to be unaccustomed to this fighting method. He just raised the harpoon high and threw it out with all his strength.

In less than three minutes, all the Storm Sons on the deck had been killed, and Phil was only slightly injured. It can be said to be a complete victory.

 This was a one-sided massacre. After all, the Sons of Storm were not paladins who believed in the Lord of the Dawn. Their thunder spells were very powerful, but they did not have much restraining effect on the undead. Many sailors who don't know how to cast spells can only run away when faced with the disembodied ghosts, without any way to resist.

 The next second, the murloc had jumped onto the opponent's splint, pulled out the harpoon and started killing.

Those sons of the storm rushed towards Amberxiu, focusing their arrows and thunderbolts on him. Amberxiu held up a mage shield to block all these attacks.

 “Hahaha, let me poke a few more today!”

There were many Storm Priests on the other side's ship. They raised their hammers to summon thunder and lightning, and then smashed them at him. However, whether Phil's body was injured or scorched by electricity, the result would only make his attack more powerful.

Swing the staff, use telekinesis to grab a child of the storm, and use it as a heavy hammer to knock others into the sea.

I don’t know how many people were hit. The son of the storm who was captured by Amberxiu turned into a ball of rotten meat. When Amberxiu put the body down, the thing squirmed and got up. This corpse had been turned into a zombie by Amber Xiu, and he rushed towards his former companion.

 The battle of the undead is so straightforward. The more enemies die, the more undead there are.

And the mage's killing efficiency is far more powerful than that of a harpoon. Amberxiu killed all the Storm Sons on the two ships much faster than Phil.

 Phil returned to the ghost ship with a charred body, and said with admiration: "Awesome, you are worthy of being the leader's friend."

Amberxiu casually gave Phil a dark healing spell. The addition of dark magic made his blackened flesh begin to squirm and repair. Although it still looked semi-rotted, most of the injuries had actually been recovered.

Phil said gratefully: "Thank you! Sure enough, mages are better than warriors. It's a pity that few in our group can do magic."

Amberxiu was not in the mood to talk to him about this, and reminded Phil: "Don't talk about this yet, don't you think something is wrong with the situation. These Sons of the Storm are too weak, and they don't even have a high-level Storm Priest."

Although the Kingdom of Rage has a small population, it can make all the countries in the continent hate it and have no choice but to rely on just this small role.

From what Phil said, he has dealt with the Rage Kingdom many times. The other party should be very aware of Phil's combat effectiveness and should not send this little character to die.

Phil scratched his head and said, "Maybe there is no one left, right? The regiment leader launched a brutal raid on them before, killing the Sons of the Storm so much that they no longer dared to go to sea. I guess all the strong ones are dead?"

Amberxiu was speechless. The mute senior was really not exaggerating. This fish-man really had no brains. If there is really no one left, how can they take the initiative to launch an attack? Isn't this sending people to die? The Storm Child is just crazy, not stupid.

This feeling is wrong. Amberxiu's intuition is very accurate. There must be some trap here.

 But unfortunately, before he could think of the problem, two more warships broke through the black fog and collided.

Those seemingly very weak Storm Sons continued to howl and start fighting in gangs, as if they did not know that they were dying.

Phil ignored chatting with Amberxiu and continued to enter the battlefield waving the harpoon.

Amberxiu, however, stopped interfering and flew into the air, overlooking the entire battlefield.

There are a total of thirteen Sons of Storm warships, twelve of which all look similar, like standard warships. Only one is particularly huge, with thunder patterns all over the hull.

This battleship continued to emit thunder, trying to blast away the black mist.

 Other warships were constantly shuttling through the black fog, relying on sounds to determine the direction, hoping to find the ghost ship.

　　It looked like a suicide tactic that was used as a last resort, but when Amberxiu flew higher into the sky, he realized something was wrong.

The flagship of the Son of the Storm is not blasting out thunder and lightning aimlessly, but using friendly forces' suicide attacks to attract the enemy's attention. It is actually preparing a super-large magic.

Amberxiu could see thousands of thunders intertwining in mid-air, forming a huge magic circle.

The magic circle envelops the entire black mist. The terrifying power of destruction is condensing in the magic circle, and it seems that it is about to reach the critical point.

Once the magic circle is activated, everything in the black mist will definitely be hit indiscriminately. Even if Phil and his Swordfish can be killed, those ordinary battleships will definitely be buried with them.

Amberxiu couldn't help but sigh: "It's so cruel, you won't even spare your own people, right? Does this pirate group have such a deep enmity with the Kingdom of Rage?"

Although he doesn’t really want to get involved in other people’s disputes, Amber Xiu came here to ask for something, and he also wanted to ask the mute senior to help search for the elves’ artifacts. And Phil left the main force just to welcome him. In this case, if Phil was killed by the Son of the Storm, Amberxiu would probably be blamed.

 “Well, for the sake of buying me a drink.”

 Amberson summoned the Golden Throne and began to recite the incantation attentively.

A bright light appeared, making Amberxiu like a sun, lighting up the nearby sea.

This sudden light naturally attracted the attention of the Son of the Storm, and several thunderbolts flew into the air, trying to knock Amber Xiu down.

However, all of them were blocked by Amber Xiu's mage shield. Their casters were all maintaining the huge thunder magic circle and could not take action at all. The remaining three or two kittens were unable to break Amber Xiu's mage shield. .

As the spell became faster and faster, the magic power gathered by Amber Xiu became more and more powerful, and the terrifying pressure seemed to press down the nearby sea surface by half a meter.

Phil, who was fighting in the black mist, also felt this unusual power and raised his head to look at the sky. Phil didn't know much about magic, but he could sense that something was wrong and quickly ordered: "Quick, dive right away!"

One advantage of the ghost ship is that none of the crew members can drown, and the power of the ship is not the wind or the waves, but the dark magic power of the ghost ship itself.

 So, the ghost ship can be used as a submarine.

Phil didn’t know what was going on, but it was definitely right to hide first.

The ghost ship, which was sandwiched between several broken warships, began to make a clicking sound. This was the sound made by the hull of the ship rubbing against other warships as it sank.

 In just about ten seconds, the Swordfish had sunk halfway.

 And Amber Xiu’s magic has also taken shape.

Four rays of fire lit up in the originally dark sky, as if they were stars falling from the sky, falling with the momentum of destroying everything.

  High-level spells of the evocation system—Meteor Explosion!

This is commonly known as a nine-level spell. Spells of this level have the power to destroy a city.

The Meteor Explosion is also known as the Shame of the Nine Rings, because the hit rate of this move is worrying. Most of the Meteor Explosions fail to hit the target. The result of spending a lot of magic power is to create several sinkholes on the ground. If you are unlucky, you will hit yourself on the head.

 Under normal circumstances, only in very large-scale wars, where enemy soldiers are so densely packed that they can be hit with their eyes closed, can meteor explosions be used.

But this spell takes too long to cast. Even Amber Xiu has to recite the incantation for dozens of seconds to borrow the power of the Golden Throne. The effect of the spell is obvious and it is easy to be interrupted.

The above restrictions give Meteor Burst the title of the Nine Rings of Shame.

But even with so many negative effects, Meteor Explosion is still a nine-ring spell because the power of this spell is so terrifying.

 Once it hits, it will have devastating effects.

 And Amber Xiu is a prophecy mage who will never mess things up!

 Four meteors burning with blazing flames fell, falling towards the huge flagship as if they had eyes.
