Tilly infuses the Flying Stone with magic and leaps into the air, overlooking the entire deck. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The crew of the Pretty Beauty, who were mostly experienced sailors, picked up their weapons and fought the beasts with their weapons after the initial panic, and gradually moved closer to the stern. Apparently they also knew that they could not defeat such a large number of enemies on their own, and that the only hope lay with the witches on board.

With the addition of Ash to the battlefield, the tide quickly turned.

She was like a gust of wind, screaming and wailing of monsters everywhere she went, and any evil beast that dared to face the greatsword would be cut in two, and the stumps and arms would fall all over the deck.

Not far behind, Andrea's magical longbow can shoot any worthy object as an arrow with incredible power and accuracy. As a result, she rarely prepares regular feather arrows, but a bag of glass beads. The beasts she had hit didn't even scream, they convulsed and collapsed to the ground—hard enough to pierce their heads in twenty paces and stir their skulls into a pulp.

Zephyr and Savi walked back and forth on the deck, rescuing the wounded sailors, and with the protection of the invisible barrier, the beast couldn't get close to the two of them.

Seeing that the beast was quickly slaughtered, Tilly still did not let her guard down.

The fish-shaped monsters were clearly not enough to cause the Pretty Lady to shake violently in the first place—it felt like a massive monster hitting the bottom of the ship underwater. Without Moriel's minions to protect them, a few more such impacts would have reduced the ship to a pile of broken planks floating on the sea. The witches were able to keep themselves safe, and few of the sailors of a boatload would have escaped the death of the fish.

As she expected, when the last beast was crushed by the ashes sword, a huge shadow appeared in the water in front of the left side of the ship—it was definitely not the size of a fish, and the shadow quickly approached the surface of the water and crashed towards the Pretty Beauty.

"Be careful!" she shouted.

Before he could finish speaking, shadows swept under the ship, and the sailboat shook violently again. The two masts made a series of terrifying sounds, as if they were about to fall down at any moment. Fortunately, Shadow didn't make any other moves, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the water, presumably trying to knock over the pretty woman with its back and feast on it.

Tilly fell back onto the deck and gave a brief account of the situation.

"It must be driven out of the sea, or sooner or later this damn monster will sink the ship. Ash frowned.

"I'll try," said Savi, "since it's coming close enough to the bottom of the boat, I can use a barrier to block its impact. ”

"The god of the sea is on top," Old Jack wiped the sweat from his forehead, "If the other party is really as big as Mistress Tilly said, I'm afraid that ordinary attacks will not do anything." Even if you force it out to the surface, how can you kill it?"

"Leave it to me," Andrea said with a confident smile as she pulled her hair behind her ears, "no enemy within ten paces can take my full blow." ”

The shadow soon appeared, and this time it changed direction, rushing towards the pretty woman from the stern.

Tilly, who was watching from the air, immediately sent out an early warning signal, and Savi jumped out of the ship's string after running to her position, and several coils of hemp rope were firmly tied around her waist - the other end of the rope was held in Ash's hand, steadily controlling the opponent's descent.

The shadow struck, and Savi opened the barrier in an instant, and a gap suddenly appeared in the gray water, as if it was separated by something invisible.

The monster slammed headlong into the barrier, and its huge body suddenly stopped, and Savi let out a muffled snort, and her hands hung limply, as if it had taken a lot of effort. I saw that the shadow under her feet expanded rapidly, and the sea rose violently.

"Pull her up!" Tilly shouted as she swooped down.

Ash lifted it hard with one hand, and as soon as he pulled Shavi onto the deck, a huge sea beast roared out of the water. The waves swayed the Pretty Lady from side to side. At first glance, it looks like a hybrid of a sharp-toothed shark and an octopus, with several tentacles sticking out of its triangular head and slapping straight into the deck.

Even listening to the voice, it was furious at the inexplicable impact, and its thigh-thin tentacles swept the railing to pieces, but it was never able to break through the defenses that Savi was barely holding on.

"Andrea!" Ash bent down, his fingers clasped together, his hands in a bowl.

"Here we are," the latter stepped into the palm of the ash, "leave everything to me!"

The transcendent threw her with force, and the Witch of Andrea turned into an arc and flew above the monster's head in the blink of an eye.

She summoned a magical bow and pulled the strings open, a dazzling burst of light between the bows and strings. This light was like the sun peeking out of the clouds, reflecting the surface of the sea in gold.

"Go ahead!"

Lightning flashed, and the arrow, made of pure magical power, let out a piercing roar, like thunder, and habitually entered the monster's body like thunder. The monster's gray-brown skin suddenly swelled, and golden cracks spread all over its body, revealing wisps of light from its body, and then exploded with a bang.

The huge explosion caused ripples on the surface of the sea, and the black plasma was like ink, staining the sea water black, and the shattered internal organs fell like rain, and the tentacles that had been wrapped around the ship shrank up one after another, sinking to the bottom of the sea with the giant beast whose head was blasted open.

Andrea fell into the sea with a thud.

"Ah...... Help, help, I can't swim......! Who's going to pull me!"

Ash looked at Savi, who looked tired, and sighed helplessly. "What a fool who can only play handsome," she said, unsheathing her greatsword from her back and diving headlong into the sea, swimming towards the other man.

Tilly finally breathed a sigh of relief, the threat of a shipwreck was lifted, and at least she didn't have to worry about swimming to the border town.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on the tip of her nose, raised her head, and couldn't help but freeze in place.

I saw snowflakes floating in the gray sky at some point, like elves flying in the sky, covering the entire field of vision.

"This ...... Is it snow?" and Kazukaze looked at the melting ice crystals in his hands, "Will it snow in the fall of Grey Castle?"

"Oh, I said how it gets colder the further west you go," Jack One-Eye took out his pipe and lit it again, "and it seems that you really live in a place of dire straits. ”

Tilly didn't answer, but looked solemn. The breeze comes from the kingdom of Dawn, where the seasons are like spring, and Old Jack is a fjord man, and even in winter, it is rare to see a heavy snowfall. But for the Grey Castle West, snow has a special meaning.

The court mentor had said that the snow was long and long, accompanied by the trumpet of the devil's invasion - it symbolized the beginning of the evil moon, which would not subside until it was over.

Although the Demon Moon never has a fixed end date, it usually starts in winter, so is it possible that the border towns are already under attack by evil beasts now? Moreover, the water spirits of the sea are basically only infested to the east of the Scorching Fire Island, and now they can be found even in the area of the Arctic Sea Cape. I don't know if the merchant ships traveling to and from the kingdom's continent will be attacked by this group of monsters.

Tilly grew worried.

After two days of sailing through the snow, they finally saw the hazy coastline.
