" Clang, clang, clang." The sailor's bell rang. The sailors with nooses around their waists struggled to withstand the monstrous waves and began to lower the sails.
However, before anyone could react, a sudden clap of thunder and a torrential rain fell from the sky onto the deck, making it even worse for the sailors who were already struggling to move. The sky became darker and darker, and the moon that had just risen was now hidden in the dense dark clouds.
Suddenly, a loud shout was heard, followed by a series of shouts. He took out a coil of rope from the wall of the room. Unable to sit still any longer, Brand put away his staff and hung the end of the rope on the door with a loop. The other end was tied to his waist.
As soon as he pushed open the door, which was blown by the wind and had to use his shoulder to push it open, a person outside shouted,"Go in quickly! Mr. Mage!"
"I might be able to help!”，Regardless of whether the other party heard him or not, Brand carefully moved half of his body out. The strong wind and raindrops immediately drenched Brand, who was already half wet, into a drenched chicken that was shivering from the wind. His mouth was bitter and salty. The raindrops mixed with the waves fell into his mouth and tasted like seawater.
The one who had issued the warning was a sailor who was moving forward while clutching the railing. It seemed that he was not wrapped in a noose. Perhaps he was on the deck just now.
The mage immediately turned around and took down a coil of rope hanging on the wall beside the door frame. A gust of wind blew the door inward, causing Brand to lose his balance and fall into the room.
He tried to push the door again, but he couldn't close it. The mage did not hesitate to use the Hand of Magic and hit the door with a bang. Even the latch was shattered by the impact.
Brand, who had rushed out of the door, barely managed to open his eyes. However, he could not see the sailor who had tried to climb to the stern of the ship against the wind. He could only shout a few times,"Hey! Seaman, are you still there? Can you hear me?" Unfortunately, there was no reply at all.
Unwilling to give up, Brand leaned against the door and cast Haste on himself. At this juncture, it was not a bad thing to be a little agile. Fortunately, they were going against the wind. Otherwise, the mage would not have enough mana to support the Gravity Spell, even if the target was himself.
Brand, who was trying his best to keep his body low, found it harder to take each step forward. The Saint Laurent Flying Fish, which was swaying along with the huge waves, had a hard time leaning forward and backward, causing the mage to pant heavily with each step. After almost a quarter of an hourglass, he had only managed to cover half the distance of the rope, but he still did not see the sailor from before. A few feet away, there was nothing but rain and waves.
"No!" A black shadow flitted past Brand, and the shocked mage finally managed to slap the target to the deck beside him with a Magic Hand at this critical moment. It was the sailor from before. His hat had been blown away, and there was not a single dry spot on his body. His face was pale, and he was using all his strength to grab the railing and gasp strangely.
" Thank…thank you…" The sailor who had survived the disaster tied the rope Brand handed him to the railing. He wiped the mixture of rainwater and seawater on his face, opened his eyes that were slightly red from the piercing, and thanked the mage with difficulty.
"How is it now? Can our warship withstand such a huge storm?!”，Although the two of them were very close, even if they shouted at the top of their lungs, they could not travel far.
After a short rest, the sailor shouted at the mage who saved his life,""It should be possible! This was a battleship, very sturdy! However, if the main sail and the other auxiliary sails on the mast are not lowered, the ship might capsize."
Brand, who had no sailing experience at all, was shocked when he heard this. He quickly puffed up his slightly red cheeks and asked loudly,"Then what about now? Can our people do it?"
"Mage…Sir! I almost fell into the sea before I reached the main deck. Boatswain Cook should be able to handle it!!! Our fleet commander, Da Vinci, has even been to the Great Whirlpool…"
After ending the high-pitched conversation, the sailor tried to continue climbing toward the stern. That was the nearest and safest way to get to the main deck. Brand also followed the sailor and planned to head to the main deck. As a mage, it would be very difficult for him to entrust his life to someone else.
It was even more tiring than crossing a few mountains on foot. Finally, they reached the main deck from the gangway at the stern. The mage was so tired and cold that his hands and feet were trembling. At this time, the wind and rain seemed to have lessened a little. It was no longer a dark place where one could not see clearly.
There were a total of three mages on the ship. The level-10 black-robed Mystic Mage Ciel was the one who had given Brand a hard time when they boarded the ship. There was also another mage who seemed to be a level-8 potion mage. However, all they could see was Ciel, who was wearing a black robe and talking to Da Vinci.
You specialize in combat?" Brand did not expect to hear anything decent from the other party. As expected, the brazen question was not as friendly as his peers.
With danger looming, the mage was too lazy to argue with the other party and deliberately shouted at Da Vinci,""What can I do to help? Even if he didn't mind, he didn't want to look at that face.
Perhaps seeing the other party's dissatisfaction, the black-robed Ciel restrained himself a little. Before Da Vinci could speak, he replied loudly,"The colonel wants us to help destroy the sails, but the wind and rain are too strong. As a Mage who specializes in Mana, I'm not confident that I can control the power accurately. Mage Brand, can you…?”
Smart people didn't need to say too much. Charles's softening had helped Brand regain some face. After thinking for a moment, the mage said,"You have to protect the mast, but at the same time, you have to destroy the sail, right? Completely destroyed?"
"Don't worry! Wizard Brand, the voyage warships all have spare sails. The wind and waves are too strong. If we don't eliminate this danger quickly, I'm afraid our destination will be the Sea God's residence!!”，Captain Da Vinci, who understood the situation the most, clearly pointed out the current crisis.
Without thinking for too long, after a moment of silence, Brand looked at the unfriendly Charles and said,"Wizard Ciel, Extreme Frozen Crystals?”，The other party frowned and replied," I'm afraid it'll be difficult for the power to take effect. Although the environment is very suitable for it, there are so many sails. Moreover, I'm not sure what the effect of the power will be on the wet canvas."
The mage rudely stopped him and said,""Control your power well and freeze the water on the deck. No matter what kind of specialization you have, as a level ten mage, can you summon the Lava Guard?!”
Ciel nodded to confirm the question, and then Brand continued,""Then leave the sail to me! Water Breath and Cold Ray should be able to freeze the sails without damaging the mast. Then, let the Lava Guard go up…"
Black Robe looked at the unremarkable level-eight Battle Sorcerer with great surprise. His original evaluation of this black-haired little man was slightly shaken. Originally, he wanted to see if he could use the Battle Wizard's spell enhancement technique to work with him to slowly burn off the sails by using electric shock. He did not expect the other party's proposal to be so bold, but it was also very tempting. However, there was no time to think about so many irrelevant things. Under the protection of the captain, Ciel successfully released the power, and the water on the main deck quickly froze.
Brand was quite envious. If he wasn't lucky, he wouldn't even be able to use the power of a Ninth-Grade Spell after reaching the Advanced Level. It seemed that Mana Specialization could really improve his grasp of spells.
In fact, Brand had not learned Spell Amplification at all, but he had gained some experience in double casting in the past month. This skill was also learned by a Supreme Wizard. After years of training in casting techniques, a powerful Wizard could cast two different spells at the same time. The casting difficulty was three times that of a single spell, and it could only be used on spells that were two to three levels lower than the Spell Caster. The total level of two spells cast at the same time cannot be greater than the level of the caster. Of course, this was just a reference. There were also many talented mages who could achieve a double casting level that exceeded their own level.
However, the combination of the Level-2 Cold Ray and the Level-5 Water Breath could still be used by the newly-advanced Battle Wizard. However, this was already Brand's limit. In the midst of the raging storm and huge waves, the mage was worried that the next thing would not be so easy to deal with.
