Everyone's fate was like the battleship they were on, struggling in the stormy waves, while the ferocious multi-headed sea snakes continued to rampage against the hull under the cover of the waves.
The two mages, who were unable to continue, and the frightened fatty were speechless. Was their bright future and young life coming to an end in this stormy sea tonight? No one wanted to die in the sea or be bitten by a snake.
The people who had no way out were unwilling to give up their last hope. Even the fat White was prepared to make a move. Brand and Charles were almost using their will to support their shaky bodies. The Minor Mana Regeneration Potion was not an Extreme Potion, nor was it the legendary Staff of Endless Mana. At this moment, there was no other way.
" Hehehe…" A laugh that seemed to come from the depths of hell came from the storm. This sound was not blocked by the wind and rain but seemed to ring in everyone's ears. The sharp, cold, and ear-piercing laughter that sounded like metal rubbing against each other made the people who were already frightened by the twang of a bow even more terrified.
A powerful mental tremor made the two half-mages feel fear. The half-mage was obviously referring to the fatty White, who had panic written all over his face. As for the other sailors, they only felt a wave of dizziness. Even Marcus, who was behind Brand, grunted.
" Run, run quickly, before you ruin my mood…hehehe." The owner of the voice still did not show up, and both Brand and Ciel, whose faces were extremely ugly, could roughly guess who it was. The two of them looked at each other and said with difficulty,"What should we do?"!”
"Aha…it seems that time has made my mind a little unclear. My mood…if I want it to be good, it has to be good. If I want it to be bad, then you will bear the price!”，A large gap appeared in the rain curtain as if someone had forcefully torn it open. A blurry figure floated over from the gap.
Before the people on the ship could react, the aggressive multi-headed sea snake seemed to have received a fatal fright and let out a terrifying roar. A few sea serpents that did not seem to be injured gave up on attacking the Saint Laurent Flying Fish. They raised their heads high and spat out poisonous smoke at the approaching people.
"Idiot! It's useless if you overuse it!" The words still sounded harsh, but on second thought, something was wrong. Not to mention that he could not feel any emotional fluctuations, could it be that the excessive consumption was referring to these multi-headed sea snakes?!
Before anyone could figure out the intentions of the newcomer, the impatient figure ignored the existence of distance. Without any movement, he waved his hand casually, and a wall of water thicker than a huge wave suddenly appeared below the warship, lifting the Saint Laurent Flying Fish, which was more than 150 feet long, into the air.
On the other hand, there seemed to be an invisible hand that grabbed a multi-headed sea snake hiding on one side of the ship from the waves. The sea snake that had just emerged from the water twisted its huge body in an attempt to escape from this invisible imprisonment, but how could the other party let it do as it wished? It was unknown what the other party did, but the middle head of the sea snake that was imprisoned exploded into a ball of blood. The other two intact heads and necks twisted crazily. At this moment, the invisible hand seemed to have no effect, and the sea snake's huge body fell into the sea with a bang.
" Hahahaha…Good, good, little one. Sunderland is very satisfied." That ear-piercing laughter echoed in the ears of the dumbstruck people, and the Aquarampart under the warship slowly faded. Brand, who had already seen everything, could tell that the other party was a powerful mage! The experienced Ciel's words made Brand's heart turn cold.
" Black Sun Lich…" It was over, it was really over. If there was still a spark of hope just now, then Charles 'words were like a huge wave that completely swallowed, annihilated, and destroyed the small spark of hope.
Perhaps this Lich was a vegetarian?! After waiting for a long time without any response, Brand felt that the Lich in front of him was not as terrifying as the legends said. The Lich floated in the Void and did not notice the panicking people. He was holding the poison sac taken from the head of the unlucky multi-headed sea snake and carefully reading it.
" I can't poison you to death…" Brand cursed in his heart. It was only then that he remembered that the other party seemed to be a Lich in the form of a half-spirit. How could the poison of a living creature affect it?
It was hard to make a conclusion when it came to creatures like Liches. However, most Liches were humans or high-level spellcasters who used a special method to preserve their thoughts, skills, and even mana when their lives were about to come to an end. They were evil undead creatures that existed as half-spirits.
It wasn't necessarily evil. Among the various secret recipes and materials used by the Three Great Academies to transform Liches, they were the highest-end goods that were in short supply. Even Advanced Mages couldn't resist the corrosion of time. Even if they advanced to the Advanced Level, they could only live for a few decades more. Human life was too short for Mages. Unless they could live as long as the legendary giants. However, no one had ever heard of the existence of mages among the giants.
Becoming a Mage wasn't difficult. Money, talent, and hard work were enough to stand out from the crowd. However, after reaching the Intermediate level, these three conditions were only the foundation. It wasn't that they were useless, but the foundation would always be the foundation. If it wasn't enough, it would cause one to be unable to advance further. No matter how strong the foundation was, it would still be Intermediate material. Therefore, many mages who couldn't hope to continue their studies after grade-8 would even switch careers to become Spellcasters. Although this profession was somewhat looked down upon by orthodox mages, it was still a path after all, and there were even more people who turned into clerics.
Therefore, objectively speaking, any Lich was at least level-15 and above, and there were some Liches whose names were only recorded in books and dossiers. They had even reached the level of the incarnation of gods in the human world. What was the concept of level-37? As long as they were willing, the war between the Saint Laurent Empire and the Elmi Empire would not be enough for them. However, such a character would probably not care about anything in the secular world. Their only goal was to pursue a higher realm.
Sunderland was a famous Lich at the end of the 10,000-year Blood War. At that time, Sunderland was only level-17 and had to transform into a Lich because he was stabbed by some kind of scorpion-tailed dragon. Fortunately, the old man who was already over 100 years old was already prepared. After becoming a Lich, Sunderland disappeared from everyone's sight. It was only until today's uninteresting encounter that the black-robed Charles, who had heard of it, exposed him.
Brand and the others, whose lives depended on the opponent, did not dare to breathe loudly. The sailors in the combat cabin did not dare to provoke such a powerful enemy without the captain's order. The shock just now made many people lack the courage to stand up. If they wanted to fight such a monster, they would rather slit their own necks.
"Oh…damn it! Why is it different from the records? Sunderland, the Black Sun Lich, did not change his tone due to his frustration. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Lich's eyes under his wide hooded cloak swept across the deck, scaring the people who had been ravaged so much that they did not dare to breathe. " Hehehe…Little mage, very good…"
"Little mage, which one of you is willing to carry out a great academic research with me?”，Perhaps it was because Undead Creatures like Liches didn't have a good reputation, but the three Mages, whose hands and feet were cold and drenched in sweat, kept their mouths shut and didn't dare to answer.
"Or should I bring all of you back? "Hehehe…Sunderland doesn't like strangers." The Lich's words were the last straw that broke the camel's back. Even the well-trained marines immediately screamed in panic! Before Brand could speak, he was thrown into the abyss by the Black Sun Lich's words.
" Little guy, hehehe…you're very good, I like you." Brand shouted inwardly," But I don't like you." How could he just sit there and wait for death? The mana that he had been accumulating came in handy. His sixth sense locked onto Sunderland at an astonishing speed with his eyes fixed on him. Two electric shocks were released at Sunderland with great destructive power.
Oh no! His body went limp, and Brand immediately threw himself onto the deck. He hadn't expected the consequences of his mana exhaustion to be so severe. He didn't know if the two spells that weren't too powerful but were used very skillfully had caused any damage to his opponent, but his mind was getting more and more chaotic, and his vision was starting to blur due to the mana exhaustion.
How could the famous Black Sun Lich, who had left his name in the files of famous people in the academic world, be injured by a mere grade-8 mage? No one would believe it even if they told others. Just as the two electric bolts that arrived at the same time were about to hit the enemy under the precise guidance of Sixth Sense, Sunderland pointed his finger, and the two blue and white electric bolts stopped in front of him and gradually disappeared.
" Interesting kid. You saved me a lot of effort." Sunderland waved his sleeve. Just like how he had dealt with the sea serpent, even though he was tightly held by Marcus and even Ciel had extended a helping hand, the semi-unconscious Brand was like a peanut and a potato compared to the sea serpent. His thin body was sent flying by Sunderland's grasp.
"Master!" "Wizard Brand!" "Hey!" "Mr. Mage!" The deck was filled with shouts, but the Black Sun Lich turned around, grabbed Brand, and walked into the void in the storm, disappearing.
Da Vinci's expression was even uglier than when he found out that his wife had cheated on him. He slammed his fist on the table and shouted," They left the storm zone and continued sailing towards the assembly port!”
