Chapter 2891: The Battle of the Unlight Sea

The people locked in a fierce battle with the dragon-beast under the starry sky did not yet know that the "God-Awakener" had a new plan; amidst the "snowflakes" filling the sky, everyone felt their physical strength and the speed of their Qi recovery gradually decreasing.

Conversely, the dragon-beast's power of decaying time grew stronger and stronger within the "heavy snow." Even the thirteen-ring Ringed Shushi dared not take the black rays it intermittently sprayed from the gaps in its scales head-on.

Because they did not know how much longer this battle would last, no one had yet risked using a Language of Sublimation, but some were already considering whether a sealing or imprisoning Language of Sublimation could buy a moment of respite for everyone.

The dark clouds had completely dispersed due to the oscillation of Qi, and the boundless night sky, shimmering with starlight, was illuminated by the forest fire. For a moment, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, the only one who could face the white mist sprayed by the dragon-beast, actually doubted whether this battle would end in the total defeat of humanity.

After once again releasing the "Night Curtain Seal" to block the rays of decaying time, she gazed toward the seemingly empty night sky in the distance. Through her heterochromatic eyes, enhanced by divine power and the power of time, the "Radiant Messenger" could not escape her perception.

She was somewhat worried about the situation of Xia De, who had been motionless since just a moment ago, but what she saw was that great ship faintly glowing. Originally, under the control of the ship-girl, the giant cruise ship, which had a faint sea-blue color, was now pulsing with a gray-white light that was not harsh but unusually soft, at the frequency of human breathing.

The frequency of that light's pulse grew faster and faster until it completely covered the entire hull. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na saw Xia De standing before the railing of the top deck, seeing him hold the ritual staff 【Staff of Yggdrasil】 high in one hand and the ritual sword 【Night Watcher】 high in the other.

The two crossed above his head, while the black-haired Miss Yi Lai Se hugged him from behind, even resting her head on his shoulder. At the same time, the eight-ring and twelve-ring Fate Rings floated together behind them.

The interior of the massive eight-ring Fate Ring encompassed Miss Yi Lai Se's twelve-ring Fate Ring; as Xia De's core spirit rune—【Silver Moon】 and whisper—【True Death】 bloomed with spiritual light, all the core spirit runes belonging to the ship-girl inside his Fate Ring also lit up with light.

Compared to the darkness of the night, that light was not intense, but it was a light born in the Sea of No Light; it was a light that could still bloom even in the darkest world.

Core spirit rune-miracle-【Ship】, core spirit rune-miracle-【Dragon】, core spirit rune-miracle-【Dream】, core spirit rune-whisper-【Undying】, core spirit rune-whisper-【Disaster】, core spirit rune-enlightenment-【Ocean】, core spirit rune-enlightenment-【Extinguished Light】—

When the people fighting in the heavy snow heard the dull but violent sound of sea waves and felt the dampness from the sea sweeping through the surroundings, the starlight of the night sky and the forest fire were all extinguished, no one knew when.

A howling gale and raindrops mixed with "snowflakes" rushed toward them; when they looked down again, the forest beneath their feet had already disappeared, and violent waves were wantonly crashing upon the boundless sea.

Boom—with a loud noise, the giant cruise ship, covered in blue dragon scales and with wings spread on both sides of the ship's bridge, rushed out from the water curtain formed by the raging waves.

The ship-girl, whose blue eyes were glowing, hugged Xia De and stood at the end of the deck, her long black hair fluttering behind her in the wind. She shouted loudly, and together with the flying ship, she crashed into the body of the black dragon-beast in the Sea of No Light:

"Mystic Lock: Sea of No Light!"

The twelve-ring Fate Ring was so dazzling that people didn't even realize the "decoration" on the outer circle.

Facing this fatal threat, the dragon-beast abandoned everyone around it, and after opening its mouth to gather power, what it sprayed was actually a breath composed of "snowflakes." This was the power of decaying time in the true sense; any matter or non-matter hit by it would irreversibly head toward its end.

But Xia De and Miss Yi Lai Se at the bow of the ship were fearless; the giant ship, radiating gray light, faced the spray and continued forward. The dragon-beast's spray followed the hull like waves being parted, having no impact on the "Radiant Messenger."

He and she were the first and last light born in the Sea of No Light; in this area of the Mystic Lock, only this light would absolutely never be extinguished.

"Help the ship of the Witch Council!"

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na shouted loudly in the rain and snow, so the high-ring Ringed Shushi who were encompassed in the Mystic Lock, as long as they could still cast spells, either cast buff-type miracles at the giant ship or followed the direction of the ship's collision to launch an attack on that pitch-black monster.

Thus, carrying seven-colored light and astonishing fluctuations of elements, the Radiant Messenger, which even looked a size larger than before, collided head-on with the dragon-beast amidst a loud noise. Beyond the physical collision, the dazzling light produced by the clash of Qi and elements made everyone unable to open their eyes at that moment.

"Roar!"

After this collision, which gathered the full-strength strike of everyone present, ended, the dragon-beast fell from the sky toward the surging black ocean. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na then jumped directly from the skeleton horse in the high sky onto the deck, seeing Xia De, who was being hugged by the blue-eyed girl, finally complete his spellcasting:

"Miracle—Call Old Wooden Ship! Help me lock it down!"

No small boat appeared by his side; the moment the spell was successfully cast, Xia De's face turned pale, and hum—the entire ship vibrated. While the witches who were just in the sky were pressing down on their skirt hems and landing on the deck amidst the rain and snow, the feeling the entire ship gave them was completely different.

The ship's appearance, color, and material had not changed at all, but everyone felt that this ship was clearly no longer the place where they had lived for half a month.

The ship did not suffer much damage after the collision; it followed the falling dragon-beast and pounced toward the ocean. And from the firing ports on the sides of the cruise ship, dense black chains shot out toward the dragon-beast, among which two were even "Chains of Great Sin."

This was the result Xia De wanted to seek; when he experimented with his signature ability in the morning, he discovered that while controlling this ship, he could limitedly cast spells through it. At this moment, it was clearly a success, but the Qi consumed was even more than he had imagined.

If he could open the Mystic Lock to fuse with the girl hugging him from behind at this time, Xia De could actually complete this complex work more simply, but unfortunately, that Mystic Lock could not be opened at any time.

The dragon-beast that fell into the sea was not yet dead; after all, if it died, it would immediately be reborn. Therefore, facing the chains coming from above, it was still struggling desperately, and even the "Chains of Great Sin" could not completely restrict its movements.

"Witch Secret Art—Chain of Order!"

The golden chains released by the Great Witch of Balance's spellcasting extended toward the giant dragon struggling on the water surface, just as the Radiant Messenger landed steadily amidst the raging waves.

The radiance of the golden chains was not dazzling, but the power representing order and balance still had a perfectly restraining effect on it.

Seeing that this move was useful, Dorothy patted Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's shoulder on the deck. The eighteen-year-old girl was soaked through, and she saw Dorothy's emerald eyes and understood what she wanted her to do:

"But I haven't learned it yet..."

"Yin Yi Yi Lu Na Beiya, we are all Chosen Ones; we all know that a human thirteen-ring should absolutely not be our limit."

Although Yin Yi Yi Lu Na was a loyal reader of Miss Writer, the two of them actually rarely communicated alone, but these few short sentences this time immediately strengthened Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's determination.

Although she had not yet learned that complex Witch Secret Art, the eighteen-year-old girl still let the dark golden scales float above her head, and immediately, the rays of light radiated by those scales truly turned into materialized chains:

"Witch Secret Art—Chain of Order!"

Miss Jia Lin Na watched her "student's" success with a smile, while the elf girl who took the initiative to walk to the stern of the ship threw several seeds into the water behind. Thick vines grew rapidly, fixing the dragon and the ship together.

After these brand-new restraints were added, the black monster on the sea surface struggled even more violently, causing the Radiant Messenger to shake violently as well. But at least the dragon's entire body was tied up, and this had already achieved Xia De's goal.

"Set sail forward!"

Xia De and Miss Yi Lai Se's Fate Rings were completely nested into one at this moment; under their joint efforts, the great ship radiating gray-white light dragged the dragon forward on the raging sea.

But it was still struggling; even without wisdom, the instinct of its soul made it clear that it absolutely could not be taken away by this ship at this moment. Thus, the great ship shook more and more violently; wanting to continue forward, it instead became deadlocked on the black sea surface like a tug-of-war.

As long as the Great Witches on the ship had corresponding abilities, they all cast spells to help; Bella's curse of weakness played the greatest role, and Grandma Cassandra even said:

"Let them all come to help!"

Thus, the shield covering the top of the Radiant Messenger opened, and the twelve-ring and thirteen-ring Ringed Shushi from various organizations who had assisted in the battle in the sky just now all landed on the deck.

But they had no intention of exploring what the God-Awakener standing at the front of the deck wanted to do, but instead cast spells together to restrain that heavily injured monster.

Chains and rays of light shot from the deck toward the rear of the ship, eventually weaving into seven-colored light trails that grabbed that monster.

Thus, the Radiant Messenger continued to move forward with difficulty, and amidst the waves, tides, wind, frost, rain, and snow, as well as the dragon-beast's intermittent roars, it finally successfully began to sail forward.

Flora had consumed too much in human form during the battle just now, and at this moment, she could no longer help. She stood beside Xia De and Miss Yi Lai Se, waiting somewhat anxiously, but the ship's difficult progress failed to enter that expected sea area.

Maintaining the Mystic Lock also consumed Miss Yi Lai Se greatly, and the dragon's struggle at this time had also reached its peak. Seeing that the plan had not yet succeeded, Miss Owl gritted her teeth, flapped her wings, and took off into the air.
