Chapter 144: Broadside Fire!!

After swinging her sword with great enthusiasm for a while, the inspiration brought by Eureka Acceleration gradually faded.

Yun Mu also silently retracted her Scarlet Cross Sword and retreated back to the rear of the group.

It wasn't that she was tired, or that she felt it was safer in the back or anything like that.

It was just that she discovered that compared to killing enemies with swordsmanship, spells were clearly more efficient.

"Art is an explosion!"

Yun Mu snapped her fingers lightly, and the painting 【Sunset】 immediately appeared behind her.

She injected a large amount of Spirituality into the painting 【Sunset】.

As if even the blood-red mist were being scorched along with it, a huge orange-red fireball appeared above her head.

The light of the flames pierced through the mist, dispelling the darkness of the night sky.

Subsequently, a strange rune flashed across the center of the fireball.

"Boom!!"

A large number of Bloodline Living Corpses and Blood-thirsty Ones were blown away by the violent explosion, and the terrifying high temperature almost instantly burned the Bloodline creatures at the center of the fireball to a crisp.

"Well done!" Brenna said, praising her upon seeing this.

"It's not over yet." Hearing Brenna's words, Yun Mu laughed softly and said.

This was not a Dungeon world where one could only release an equipment item's active skill once per battle.

As long as her Spirituality was sufficient, she could use the painting's skill as many times as she wanted! Yun Mu once again injected a large amount of Spirituality into the painting, and the scorching fireball floated above the street once more.

"Boom!!"

Another ten-ring bombardment; with a thought from Yun Mu, the painting 【Cold Crow】 appeared next to the painting 【Sunset】.

Although she had always used 【Cold Crow】 as a Storage space, she hadn't forgotten.

The painting 【Cold Crow】 still had an active skill she had never released before.

It just so happened that there were so many enemies serving as targets for her right now; if she didn't fire now, when would she?

【Broadside Fire!】

A huge phantom of the Cold Crow floated behind Yun Mu; even though no one was operating the ship, the cannon barrels automatically aimed at the enemies ahead.

According to the data Yun Mu obtained from Baidu in her past life, the Captain of the Jackdaw was 60 meters long, 48.5 meters high, 11.9 meters wide, and equipped with 26 sails.

At the same time, the Cold Crow was also equipped with 46 side-swivel cannons, four bow chasers, and two swivel guns.

Additionally, it could carry a large amount of gunpowder barrels, heavy shells, and mortar shells, and it was also equipped with an iron-plated naval ram.

When these cannons fired together, the power they could unleash was extremely lethal to the densely packed Bloodline Living Corpses and Blood-thirsty Ones! "Bang!!"

A deafening cannon blast rang out, presenting a visual impact to everyone present that was in no way inferior to the 【Explosive Flame】 released by the painting 【Sunset】.

One could see the Bloodline Living Corpses and Blood-thirsty Ones, who occupied almost the entire street and were lined up in a large row, instantly blown away by the heavy solid cannonballs! A large amount of blood and remains of limbs splashed out, falling all over the ground.

However, this was not the end; accompanied by bursts of whistling in the sky, mortar shells equipped with fuses and explosives fell behind the enemy ranks, instantly triggering violent explosions! "Whoa, this ship is really something." Edward said, looking at the phantom of the Cold Crow with an appreciative gaze.

As for Yun Mu, she looked at the effect caused by 【Broadside Fire】 and exclaimed with a satisfied look: "This power, it's intense!"

The only problem was, "This consumes too much Spirituality." Yun Mu touched her forehead slightly, feeling as if her body had been hollowed out.

If releasing one cubic meter of 【Falling】 Black Fog consumed 1 unit of Spirituality.

Then releasing one 【Explosive Flame】 from 【Sunset】 was about 8 units.

And one 【Broadside Fire】 consumed almost 20 units of Spirituality! She felt that she only had about fifty units of Spirituality in total.

Having just released 【Explosive Flame】 twice in a row, and then releasing 【Broadside Fire】 once, she had instantly consumed 36 units of her Spirituality.

That was already more than half of her total Spirituality! "Can't use spells anymore." Forcing herself to perk up, Yun Mu thought to herself.

Fortunately, after her bombardment, many of the dense enemies on the street were instantly cleared away. Taking this opportunity, the group hurried forward.

It was also at this time that the other two Shadow Guards who had been separated from Brenna were attracted by the commotion of the monster riot within the Barrier and successfully reunited with the group.

With this, Yun Mu finally knew the number of Shadow Guards at Brenna's side.

Three within the Barrier, plus Elena, and that Ai Yi, totaling five.

Felt a bit low, or were her requirements too high?

Shaking her head, not dwelling on this matter for too long, Yun Mu picked up the Scarlet Cross Sword again and broke through toward the exit with the group.

Must say, learning a bit of swordsmanship was actually quite necessary.

At the very least, after her Spirituality was exhausted, she wouldn't lose her combat ability just because she couldn't release spells.

And after noticing her sword-swinging movements, Edward's expression became somewhat strange.

"Why do these movements feel so familiar?"

Feeling familiar was inevitable; after all, Yun Mu's swordsmanship itself was learned by triggering Eureka Acceleration while peeking at Edward's sword-swinging movements.

However, copying Edward's movements entirely was certainly not advisable.

So Yun Mu slightly improved some of the movements, making them more suitable for herself.

At the same time, she also deduced corresponding sword stances through those movements Edward used when swinging his sword.

And this was the reason why Edward felt they were familiar but couldn't immediately recognize them.

Compared to a Swordsman who had undergone formal training and mastered and learned swordsmanship.

Yun Mu's movements must be very bold and imaginative; what's more, under the blessing of the Sword Genius trait, she actually managed to bring this unsystematic swordsmanship to its full potential.

Regarding this, she could only say Accelerated Eureka is the GOAT.

What does it mean to "significantly increase learning efficiency when learning any knowledge related to Civilization!"

Tactical lean back.

When she first obtained the title of Language Spreader, she didn't feel anything.

But as the number of times she triggered Accelerated Eureka increased, she gradually realized the perverted nature of this skill.

What is a Civilization? Is it a society composed of people? Wrong, any society composed of any intelligent race is called a Civilization! 【Through arduous training and study, your passive skill 【Swordplay Lv1】 has been upgraded to 【Swordsmanship lv2】】 【Your Attack +1, Dodge +2, Critical Hit +1%】

【When using a longsword as a weapon, the damage you deal increases by 2%!】

Yun Mu's body trembled slightly, and then, her sword-swinging movements became more natural, while the transitions between each movement also became much smoother.

However, just as she was immersed in the pleasure brought by this improvement in Swordsmanship, a figure exuding a dangerous aura walked out from among the large number of Bloodline Living Corpses and Blood-thirsty Ones.

"What a catch, two big fish."

Natavia looked coldly at Brenna and Edward.

PS: To prevent any misunderstandings, I will explain briefly here.

The power caused by the skill 【Artillery Fire】 is related to Yun Mu's current Spell Strength.

You should all be able to see this in the skill description panel.

And at present, its power still has some gap compared to real artillery.

Furthermore, the cannonballs fired are all just phantoms.

They will disappear very soon.
