"Blood Wave...sooner or later you will pay for what you did!" The woman with snake braids said fiercely while slashing at Edward with the snake-scale sword.
"It's useless... It's useless... There's no way, everything is in vain... I've exhausted all my strategies..." The older Edward rushed towards Edward's real body with staggering steps.
"this……"
Facing the four dream bodies attacking him, Edward widened his eyes and took several steps back. While dodging the attacks of the dream bodies, he condensed water swords and water knives and continuously counterattacked the four of them. However, unlike when he dealt with the pseudo-moth tentacles, less than a second after Edward dispersed the four dream bodies, they would automatically reappear in other locations around Edward and continue to attack. Even if Edward moved to other places at high speed, the four black dream bodies would teleport to his side like ghosts, following him like a shadow, and could not be avoided or destroyed, and their attacks could really damage Edward's spirit.
Finally, after dodging for a while, Edward seemed to have discovered something. He stood up and condensed the water arrow again. However, this water arrow was not aimed at the dream body beside him, but at himself.
"Disappear... Phantom!"
After a loud rebuke, Edward controlled the water arrows to shoot out rapidly, piercing his body one after another, and at the same time released the elemental heat of his body. In an instant, Edward's withered flesh was pierced by several tiny water arrows belonging to himself, and rich blood flowed out of the wounds. Amid a burst of intense pain from all over his body, Edward's originally turbid mind suddenly became much clearer, and his originally shaken mental anchor was stabilized again, and those black dream bodies that attacked him disappeared into nothingness.
“Hoo…Hoo…Hoo…”
Panting, after getting rid of the harassment of the black dream body, the blood-covered old pirate slowly stood up, raised his head and looked at the sky again. His eyes passed through the fog, and then what he saw was the dreamy giant moth spreading its wings and flying away in the dark night sky.
Withered Wing knew that it was impossible to defeat Edward on his territory, so after releasing the mind nightmare illusion on Edward, Withered Wing immediately controlled the pseudo-moth to start moving. In the short period of time when Edward was entangled by the black dream body, the pseudo-moth had already flown a very long distance at a rapid speed and flew to the edge of the main island of Mon Carlo, and was about to fly out of the range of Mon Carlo.
During this process, the pseudo-moth's already semi-transparent body began to become more and more transparent, and seemed to be gradually disappearing. This was because the withered wings were allowing the pseudo-moth to completely escape by temporarily escaping into the dream world. On the main island of Mon Carlo, the diffuse fog had the ability to prevent the pseudo-moth from completely escaping into the outer world. He had to leave the range of Mon Carlo Island to successfully escape into the outer world.
"Don't even think about running away..."
Faced with this situation, Edward said coldly, while staring at the pseudo-moth that was trying to escape in the distance, he took out a broken copper staff from his body, and then Edward held the staff tightly, and then a faint light mark appeared on the copper staff.
As Edward attacked again, the sea water around the main island of Mon Carlo suddenly churned, waves and huge waves rose one after another, and the rumbling sound of the ocean current was deafening.
Afterwards, above the turbulent sea, large water snakes with a diameter of seven or eight meters rushed out from the sea and pounced directly on the false moth that had just flown out of the main island of Mon Carlo. They rose to the height of the false moth at an extremely fast speed. Seeing this, Ku Chi immediately controlled the false moth's tentacles to hit the water snakes. However, because there were too many and too large water snakes, the false moth could not get rid of them all in one breath.
All of a sudden, more than a dozen water snakes swooped to the height of the false moth. They opened their huge mouths and bit the false moth together. The false moth was bitten by more than a dozen huge mouths at the same time in various parts of its body, and it was unable to continue flying forward for a while.
"What……"
Seeing the pseudo-moth being bitten by the huge mouth of the water snake, Withered Wing suddenly panicked and wanted to control the pseudo-moth to try its best to break free from the restraints. However, there were too many water snakes biting the pseudo-moth, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not get the pseudo-moth free. Instead, the pseudo-moth was in danger of being completely dragged down by these water snakes.
"You can't escape... This is my sea..."
Looking at the struggling pseudo-moth in the distance, Edward tightened his restraints on it. All of a sudden, more water snakes emerged from the sea and bit the pseudo-moth in the sky. As he said, he had absolute home advantage in this territory that he had managed for several thousand hectares. As long as he tried his best, Withered Wing would not be able to escape from Mon Carlo.
Seeing more large water snakes in the sea attacking him, Ku Chi felt despair for a moment. Even if he summoned a complete pseudo-moth, he still couldn't escape from Edward's hands. He couldn't escape to the dream world on Mon Carlo Island, and Edward had set up a death trap in the sea outside the island. The sea was his home ground. Under such circumstances, it was extremely difficult for Ku Chi to escape.
"boom!!"
Just when Ku Chi was feeling despair, one of the large water snakes that had bitten the pseudo moth suddenly had a violent explosion in its long body. Intense flames and shock waves erupted in the air. A large part of the large water snake's body was directly blown apart by the explosion. The upper and lower ends of the entire body were only connected by a thin water column, and it looked shaky.
Seeing this scene, Edward and Ku Chi were both stunned, wondering what happened? Where did this explosion come from? The two hostile parties should not have similar abilities, right?
Just when Edward was wondering if this was another talisman used by Withered Wing, he suddenly heard a smaller roar coming from the island, and a moment later another explosion sounded. The explosion took place at the giant water snake that had just been blown up. The tiny underwater thread connecting the upper and lower ends of the water snake was broken in this explosion, and the entire giant water snake's head lost contact with the sea surface and turned into ordinary sea water and fell into the sea.
"This is... a bombardment!"
After hearing the sound clearly, Edward immediately realized what had happened. Someone fired a cannonball at the water snake he had summoned! And judging from the sound, it was the coastal defense cannon in the coastal defense fortifications he had built on Mon Carlo Island!
"That guy... when did he remotely sleepwalk through the troops in the coastal defense fortress! Does he still have such ability!?"
After realizing the truth of the situation, Edward suddenly thought of this in his mind. He immediately believed that his soldiers were controlled by Withered Wing. At that time, Withered Wing was also wondering where the explosion came from. He didn't even hear that it was the sound of a cannon.
“This…what happened?”
At this moment, in one of the countless sturdy coastal fortresses built by Edward and his descendants at the strategic locations on the edge of the main island of Mon Carlo and on the surrounding islands and reefs, the guards of the city guard were lying on the open space outside the fortress and snoring. On the turret inside the fortress, several men in different costumes were operating the heavy cannons tacitly, aiming them at the huge sea snakes extending from the sea in the distance.
Not far from the gunner, there were several men fiddling with shells. Some of them skillfully disassembled the warhead of the shell with professional tools, took out a little charge and put a small insect in it, and then reassembled the warhead. Then they sent the warhead and propellant to the heavy coastal artillery and loaded them. Similar scenes could be seen in many coastal fortresses in Mon Carlo at this time.
Off the coast of Mon Carlo, Dorothy was suspended above the sea, overpaying her spiritual power, and controlling dozens of zombies with all her strength to perform similar operations. Under her control, countless black gun muzzles were aimed at the sea snakes in the distance.
"Excuse me... Captain... This moth is my prey, I can't let it stay here."
'Dorothy murmured with a faint smile, and then she cried out in her heart, and then all the cannons fired.
