Chapter 581: Phantom Ship

Chapter 581: Phantom Ship

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A layer of weird, thick fog shrouded the entire surface of the sea, and the sky was as dim as dusk. The weird waves, like crushed scales, surged around them. These waves could limit the movement of any ordinary human-made ship and even held the bubble in which they were in its position like a stationary bubble platform. Nangong Wuyue and Shaqira could only swim in the nearby water struggling to keep a limited range of body of water in control to prevent the weird waves from crashing into where they stood.

A layer of electric light surrounded Vivian as cold air spread out from under her feet and gradually froze the sea surface. "Be alert!"

Lily's ears flicked as she scanned the dense fog. "Someone is singing."

Hao Ren was also staring into the fog while he took a silver spear out from the dimensional pocket. "It's the voice of the siren... Don't get distracted; be careful of being controlled by the sound. It seems something is out there."

A large, dark shadow appeared in the dense fog, and it was apparently slowly approaching. Soon the thing appeared before their eyes: tall masts, broken sails, broken ropes, and the crooked bow. Lily held up her head and took a deep breath before let out a long "Oh—"—it was a huge ship with three-masts that looked like it had been hundreds of years old. The faint shadow of the broken ship slowly emerged out from the dense fog like a huge phantom floating on the sea.

As the galleon gradually approached, Lily saw the peeling wood and the cracked windows, a row of neatly arranged square on the side of the hull, and inside many of the squares, there were muzzles of cannon. This style made her think of the old pirate ships in the movie.

The ship approached at an angle. Hao Ren saw a line of huge letters on its side, which was incredibly legible: Queen of the North. No, it was not that famous shipwreck in history.

"Phantom ship?" Y'zaks looked at the thing with great interest. "This is the phantom ship written in your book? Never have I thought that this thing really exists. How was this thing formed?"

Y'lisabet lifted her little screwdriver and said, "Papa, you threw me there!"

"Knock it off. Be alert. It may be some trick that the siren has produced." Hao Ren dragged the little demon back, while the silver spear in his other hand had a burst of blaze at the tip. "Shaqira, Sorma, do you know what that thing is?"

"She's warning us not to approach, saying that the vortex is about to open..." Shaqira's brow knit tightly together as she listened to the song from the phantom ship. The tone of the song was weird, though with the soft and charming voice of the siren, the melody possessed a maddening sense of dissonance. "She has been repeating these words, and sounds unsober."

Sorma faced the phantom ship and opened up her hands, and waves carried her into the air. She opened her mouth and uttered several syllables that humans could barely imitate. A layer of translucent ripples appeared around her before the ripples moved towards the phantom ship. She was communicating with the ship using the secret whisper of the siren.

However, after a few seconds of silence, the phantom ship responded not with another song but an attack. In a loud creaking noise, the huge ship quickly adjusted its position to align its side with the ice floe platform. In those broken squares, water vapour was rising as the black muzzles of cannon stuck out and lighted up!

"Shield!" Hao Ren turned to Y'zaks, shouting. Then he turned to point the tip of his silver spear at the phantom ship and shot a beam of lightning-like silver-white flames into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, a pale green demonic shield shielded the entire ice floe platform. At almost the same time, dozens of pale blue, evil fire-like light shot out from the cannon muzzles of the phantom ship. In a series of explosions of 'boom and bang', those pale blue 'cannonballs' hit the demonic shield and turned into shaved ice and mist: they were not iron and fire but ultra-low temperature ice.

A large amount of ultra-low temperature ice quickly frozen up the entire ocean around them. As the temperature change rapidly, Shaqira and the Nangong Wuyue quickly lost control of the water body, and the 'floor' below their feet became unstable. Hao Ren's plasma discharge from the silver spear had also hit the front of the phantom ship at the same time, and a huge fireball erupted!

However, the shrapnel of the explosion was not wood chips and steel on the ship, but water.

The phantom ship seemed to be provoked by the counterattack, and a greater number of ice cannons emerged out of nowhere along the side of the hull. Shells landed on them like hailstones!

Sorma was hit by a swarm of ice and fell from the air. She helped Shaqira and Wuyue regain control of the water body while she shouted, "Attack the mid-section of the ship! Under the second mast! She is crazy. !"

A weird exchange of fire broke out and escalated rapidly. Round and round of strange attacks were launched from the ice floe platform at the phantom ship—giant bolts from the crossbow of the demon hunter, Y'zaks molten rock, Hao Ren's plasma discharge, and also Vivian's massive Lightning Chain and Bat Strike. The phantom ship had felt a great danger from the fierce attack. It tilted its muzzles skyward and began to meet the deadly firepower in a way that did not suit the ship's purported fighting capability. Numerous huge explosions flared on and over the phantom ship. A large amount of ice flakes and water bust in the air, while the bizarre song of the siren was echoing in the surroundings. The surrounding oceans began to surge as huge waves slammed on the phantom ship. The phantom ship healed its damage with each slap of the waves. Meanwhile, large tsunamis the high of a mountain was slamming in from all sides toward the ice floe platform.

The MDT showed a super huge cyclone was forming in the nearby sea. Once it formed, it might be one of the biggest storms recorded by humankind ever.

The moment was like the looming of a natural disaster. Hao Ren had doubt about the combat effectiveness of the siren, but now he finally realised that this seemingly gentle and harmless creature was equally terrible if she went mad: On the ocean, the storm created by the siren on the sea was no different from the force of nature!

The best way to stop this storm was to destroy the phantom ship before it formed.

Shaqira tried to control the waters around them as much as possible. "Who the heck has agitated her? Who the heck has agitated her?"

Lily quickly became maniacal amid this fighting. She had no long-range attack skill. She waved her Fire and Ice Claws and chopped off huge piece of ice, which weighed several tonnes from the edge of the ice floe platform. Like the giants that attacked Asgard in the ancient time, Lily threw the huge ice chunks at the phantom ship. The force of each throw was no less powerful than a heavy artillery!

An ice chunk hit its target. The second mast on the phantom ship crashed down with a groan of noises dragging along the old and messy ropes and sails with it before they burst into a cloud of mist in the air.

Nangong Sanba shouted amid the chaos. "Don't take down the platform under our feet!"

Lily was startled. "What?"

Nangong Wuyue rushed up to Lily and froze a huge ice ball out of the seawater. "Your cannonball! I can make enough ice balls for your attack!"

The next second, countless dozen-tonne ice balls shelled the phantom ship at subsonic speed.

The attack of the non-human creatures was so brutal that even though the phantom ship was at a vantage point on the sea, it quickly lost its superiority. After a few minutes of brutal and indiscriminate bombardment, the restoration speed of phantom ship had failed to catch up with the speed of damage, and the tsunami in all directions weakened as the phantom ship continued to disintegrate into water. Finally, as a white flame rose along the waves onto the hull, a tower of fire rapidly engulfed the phantom ship.

Amid the burning white flame, the dense fog on the sea began to disperse, the wind had stopped and the warm sunlight showered down on everyone again.

Nangong Wuyue quickly jumped into the water and spent the better part of the day before surfacing. On her tail was a mermaid that had passed out.

Shaqira and Sorma pulled the mermaid out of the water onto the ice floe platform. Everyone cautiously surrounded the mermaid in a semi-circle. Only Rollie that had just been scared like a chicken went up and sniffed the tail of the mermaid for a long while before she looked up and said, "You're not going to hit me, are you?"

Hao Ren pulled Dumb Cat to one side, stepped forward, and tucked the hair that covered the mermaid's face to the sides. "Do you guys know her?"

Shaqira was greatly surprised when she saw the face of the mermaid. "General Vanessa!"

Of course, Hao Ren did not know her. "General Vanaessa? Which one?"

"It's the Queen's Guard, the head of royal guards of the Queen," Sorma said quickly. "How could she... turn up this way? And shouldn't she be sitting in Nasaton forever?"
