Chapter 1090 - Break a Siege
As the massive ship emerged from the water, the other participants of the bloodbath finally took the stage.
“Slaughter those damn devils!”
The abyssal demons snarled and flourished their weapons. As the dazzling brilliance shone, hundreds of thousands of warships showed up in midair. The rushing river tumbled forward as the warships picked up speed and launched their attacks on the devils. A string of fireballs streaked across the air, blasting at the devil fleet in the distance. Shortly after, the flames blazed in the explosions, scattering scorching heat to the surroundings. The blinding flashes and deep explosions signified the start of a war and a whole new phase.
Rhode’s ferry was caught among the demon fleet. The ferry was so tiny in comparison that it had no advantage over the tall and mighty ships. But despite that, almost all the demon ships kept a safe distance from the ferry as no demons were foolish enough to stay in the way of the people who could effortlessly eradicate so many devils at once because that would be no different from seeking death. With the arrival of the demons, the firepower assumed by Rhode’s group was dispersed quickly. Shortly after, the ferryman rowed the tiny ferry in the flow of the river.
“This is only the start! Start your engines and fire your cannons! Music on! Go all out! Kill anyone who stops me!”
Mini Bubble Gum raised her fist and along with her movement, a massive, circular magical ritual appeared with her in the middle. At the next moment, countless, white, glaring rays of light shone forward like a string of cannon shots blasting at the devils’ messy formation. But that wasn’t the end because at the same time, the rest also got into action.
Lesa raised the staff high up in midair. This young lady donned a white gown and triangular hat and waved her staff casually. Along with her movement, a dazzling, blue light in the air turned into a circle that expanded abruptly, slashing through the devils’ solid shell like a razor-sharp blade. In the blink of an eye, everything in the path of the light circle was sliced in half. It didn’t matter if the devils used weapons or spells to strengthen their defense or how indestructible their shell was as they were split entirely in the illusory circle. It was no exception for the steel ships that the devils built. At a glance, wreckages of sliced-up ships could be seen sinking into the river. The devils who were just summoned and hadn’t even figured out the bearing of the enemies were flustered after being struck by another wave of attacks. Meanwhile, the ferry continued to advance forward.
Celestina and Celia didn’t attack. They quietly stood on both sides of the ferry to stop any ambushes. Cheryl and Stefania remain seated. The former’s eyes were healed by Mini Bubble Gum earlier on and now, Cheryl was widening her eyes and witnessing this unimaginable scene.
Cheryl had been involved in a bloodbath and due to this reason, she knew how difficult it was to deal with devils. There were a few times she thought she wouldn’t make it back alive. If it weren’t for the ridiculous and disorderly nature of the devils that gave her a certain chance, perhaps she wouldn’t have escaped and be here now. In a bloodbath, deserter and dead often had the same meaning. Before receiving an order to retreat, one who fell back would most likely be pounced on by the devils. One would then use one’s life to experience the punishment for going against the rules.
That was like a nightmare to Cheryl to be surrounded by demons, launching attacks involuntarily, and even chanting spells became oddly tough. Besides, devils were immune to flames and this led to the ineffectiveness of a mage’s most powerful spell. Moreover, she had to always be on the lookout and not sink into the ‘human’ wave attack. After all, in a bloodbath, there was no lack of enemies.
The ferryman took a breath of cold air and yelled. After witnessing the powerful and ridiculous strength of these people, he no longer dared to retaliate against them. Instead, he had no choice but to prepare himself, so as to avoid being killed by these temperamental people. A ferryman who was killed by his own customers would surely be the funniest joke in his trade.
Upon hearing his words, Rhode didn’t have any reaction. He lifted his head and gazed ahead. Right there, the densely packed devils had completely blotted out the sky.
“In that case, what are we waiting for?” he said. “Attack!”
