Chapter 293: The Big Bang
On the continent of Faerun, can a ship without a crew sail only?
What cannot be achieved in the real world, the Faren Continent has magical magic, but it can do it.
Whether it's using undead spells to summon the undead to steer the sails, or activating item spells to turn the wheels and sails into living creatures, you can keep a ship sailing without a crew.
The archmage guessed that it was probably the high-level adventurer who had a high-ranking mage who could control several fleets without crews to sail towards Kalinsan, and that mage was probably the female adventurer Hathaway was talking about.
However, the Archmage and the Elven General did not engage the Female Mage, who was shot to death by the Elven soldiers before entering the cabin.
It's also likely that she replaced all spell slot memory spells with the magic that controlled the fleet, so that she couldn't shield herself and fight.
This fleet was not a decoy specially arranged by Bredrow, but the private fleet of Hathaway, the nominal leader of the uprising, who was intercepted by the elven navy by chance, betrayed Bredero, and quietly fled.
The Dame and her last followers want to escape to Karlinshan, another commercial city on the mainland, where they hide incognito, change their faces, and live as merchants again.
The idea of the Dame cannot be said to be impossible to realize.
Kalinsan is also a chaotic and evil city, the power of the good gods is not obvious in that city, the influence of the goddess Waujin in Kalinsan is not low, and the thieves' guild is the most powerful organization in that city.
The existence of cultural differences also makes that city wander outside the countries of the Feron Continent and rarely participate in the affairs of the Feron Continent.
The Dame pressed the trap and made a "Kata" sound, and the Archmage's ultimate shield technique took effect at the same time.
Ditra originally wanted to use the legendary spell Time Stop, which is the most effective way to stop it, but the problem with this Time Stop spell is that it can't be silently activated or instantaneous, and time-based spells, unless it's a pre-prepared time stop trap, don't have the possibility of instantaneous.
Even if you are equipped with a legendary item that reduces the cast time, you can't compress a legendary spell that requires nine rounds of casting and spell chanting into an instant.
The gods may be able to do it, but the legendary mages are not.
What's more, the Ring of Free Movement resists the stagnant effect of time stopping, and can move at a slow pace even after time has stopped.
If you can't stop it, you can only save your life first, and the archmage guessed that the mechanism was likely to be the switch that detonated the magic crystal bomb, just like he used the ultimate barrier technique to block the explosion of the magic crystal grenade before, and the archmage believed that this time he could also protect himself and Elgon.
Unfortunately, the elven soldiers who were still on the ship probably couldn't be saved.
Sure enough, as the archmage expected, there was a secret compartment at the bottom of this smuggling ship, and the curved keel compartment was originally only stacked with ballast stones to stabilize the hull, but the smuggling captains transformed them, took away the ballast stones, and used smuggled goods instead of ballast stones to balance the load when sailing.
Flames erupted, and the secret chamber was filled with crystal bombs, which detonated in a massive shockwave and flames that engulfed everything nearby.
Propping up their shields, the elven general Elgon, and the archmage watched as dazzling flames filled their surroundings.
The flames also consumed the evil statue that the Dame was clinging to.
Just before Hathaway was burned to ashes, the magic web caused by the violent explosion disintegrated and tore apart the rules of the world, and the statue really came to life, it responded to the kiss of the dames, stretched out its strong arms, and hugged her tightly in its arms, wanting to protect her with its body.
Io's mechanical body briefly regained its mobility, and the mechanical body, which lacked the command of the soul core, acted instinctively with the three principles of the robot, and saw that there were humans around him, surrounded by flames, and he took the protection of human safety as his first goal.
The moment before the dame was consumed by the flames and lost consciousness forever, she felt the tight embrace of her beloved Io, and she was surprised to realize that the living statue was really alive.
She had dreamed of Io coming back to life in her countless dreams, but she had never expected the same thing to happen in reality.
The moment before death, the dream came true.
The dame leaned on Io's chest and smiled sweetly, she felt that she was not stupid, she knew that Io would definitely come back to life, everything she had done, everything she had put in was rewarded.
The two embraced each other were eventually engulfed in flames, and in an instant the dame vanished, and even though Io protected her from the debris and shockwaves, the ubiquitous heat flames still vaporized her instantly, turning into a black carbon shadow imprinted on Io's chest.
The high temperature and high pressure of the explosion of the huge magic crystal bomb exceeded the limit of Io's mechanical body, and the high-temperature bionic material was incinerated completely, revealing the Edman alloy skeleton, which became red under the high temperature, and looked like a flame skeleton monster.
The female human in her arms vaporizes in the heat, and the weak AI system of the mechanical body begins to scan the surrounding environment, and it finds the two people hiding in the shield.
"Discovering new targets, initiating human protection procedures......"
The red-hot metal skeleton emitted a twisted electronic sound, opened the vector vent, and slowly floated towards them in the face of the erupting flames.
The archmage and elven general hiding in the ultimate barrier saw this.
"Sure enough, what is hidden under the human skin is the core of the monster!" Elgun exclaimed, "Is it the legendary monster 'Fire Ghost' from Hell who wants to kill us and destroy it!" ”
Archmage Ditra was also creepy, he was very knowledgeable about monsters, and he didn't think that the red skeleton was a fire ghost, but could only determine that it was a high-level construct.
The terrifying shell, the incomparably strong constituent matter, the creation of demons, the archmage concluded that it was a demonic construct, the most evil thing that should not exist in the main material world!
Time was pressing, and without hesitation, the archmage recited the incantation, and the Demon Duncan Cleavage of the Legendary Realm was cast, which was the best magic to destroy the construct.
The green cleavage ball of light struck the red skeleton's chest, and there was a disc-shaped device in the same place, which emitted an extremely dazzling incandescent light, and the archmage believed that it was the core of the construct, and if it was shattered, the core would disintegrate.
That device was indeed the heart of the mechanical body, the palladium reactor.
The critical fission temperature required for palladium is so high that it is not enough to burn the Edelman alloy shell to a red-hot temperature of thousands of degrees, and the Mordoncan cleavage helped a lot, turning the reactor shell that can withstand 10,000 degrees of heat into ashes, and the palladium core decomposes into palladium atomic dust.
Archmage Ditra detonated a small palladium nuke with his own hands.
The explosion power of the magic crystal bomb detonated by Hathaway was not very strong, and it only blew up the merchant ship, even the elven warship next to the merchant ship, protected by a magic shield, was not completely blown up, only one side of the ship was blown up, the sail was on fire, and the hull remained intact.
The elven soldiers were organizing their men to extinguish the fire and treat the wounded, but they saw the burning wreckage of the merchant ship on the sea flash, and the endless light submerged everything, and all the ships on the sea, including the elven warships with magic shields, disappeared in an instant.
A huge column of water rose from the ground, and the roar spread violently, and the clouds in the air were blown away.
A hundred-meter-high white mushroom cloud rose from the sea, and the wind swept everything on the sea, followed by a monstrous wave set off by an explosion.
