Chapter 72 Port
In horror, the twenty or so people closest to the scene were caught in the attack range by a large amount of earth and rock fragments.
Except for the people from the Fisher family who retreated, the other seven extraordinary people stood in the front row and were attacked by the enemy first.
The terrifying force instantly tore apart the bodies of several mortals with ease. Scarlet blood and flesh scattered all over the ground, and wailing and screaming sounded among the crowd!
“Damn it!”
The old priest glared with anger. The most experienced one immediately cast the spell "Water Ring" to create a liquid shield in front of him to block the attack.
Allen jumped away immediately to avoid the attack of the earth and rock fragments.
The other extraordinary people were not so lucky. They had no time to react to the sneak attack and had varying degrees of injuries on their bodies. The most serious one was the sheriff whose strength was only lower than the origin.
Although he was wearing armor, he was still injured in the internal organs by the stones. He knelt on the ground and trembled in pain, unable to speak at all.
Irene walked up without hesitation and stretched out her hand. A gentle and extremely comfortable force healed the sheriff's injuries like the breath of spring.
She stroked the holy object in her arms. The situation just now was not a life-and-death crisis for the people of the Fisher family, so the Lord of the Lost did not give any warning at all.
Obviously, the Fisher family cannot rely on the Lost Lord for everything.
Byrne took another step back, then immediately stood among the crowd and shouted:
"The person who just attacked was definitely the Transcendent who turned into a lower-level Transcendent. Don't get too close. Throw the alchemical explosives in first!"
It would be very dangerous to rush in rashly. Anyway, the other party has no hostages, so let's use alchemical explosives to blow them up first and then do anything else.
The old priest glanced at Byrne and remembered meeting this boy many years ago. At that time, he was timid and cowardly, and even dared not talk to strangers.
Today, the young man from the Fisher family can decisively give orders to the crowd, and he has obviously grown a lot.
Irene, who stabilized the sheriff's injuries, ignored the expectant looks of the other injured people, temporarily turned a deaf ear to their begging voices, and retreated into the crowd without hesitation.
She watched as the patrol used alchemical explosives to blow down the entire outer wall of the manor.
"boom!"
Although few people know it, Irene also needs to consume a small amount of spiritual energy to use the power of healing. If she uses too much, she will have no trump card left.
So she made the judgment that it was necessary to treat the seriously injured transcendents first, and the others could be ignored for the time being.
The alchemical explosives were thrown out, and after a burst of heavy bombardment, part of the outer wall was completely blown down and shattered into earth and rocks, but Byrne did not see any trace of the enemy at all.
It was obvious that the other party fled immediately after the successful sneak attack.
The old priest sneered and said, "The Isaac family are all very cunning guys."
"One team stays here to search, and the rest come with me. I know where they are."
The old priest is a high-level spellcaster at the origin. The upper limit of the spell models he can master is three. The spells he has learned are "Water Ring", "Ice Cone" and "Water Spirit Summoning", which are used for defense, offense and enemy detection respectively.
Through the search effect of the "Water Spirit", the old priest realized that the two members of the family were heading towards the port.
Either escape to the boundless jungle or flee to the sea from the port. The old priest judged the two most likely options in advance and left the water-summoning elves hiding on the way to them.
As the old priest had expected, Mrs. Isaac and her brother were heading towards the port.
The other metamorphic transcendent stayed behind to attract attention through sneak attacks, so as to buy time for his younger brothers and sisters to escape.
Yes, it is indeed a good calculation!
The old priest took all the extraordinary people to the port, intending to intercept Mrs. Isaac and her brother. As for the knight extraordinary person at the transformed level, he would probably also rush to the port to reunite with his family members.
If the other party did not choose to come to the port, he would simply give up the plan to capture or kill that strong man.
After living for so many years, the old priest understood deep down how huge the difference between transformation and origin was.
It would be easy for them to capture Mrs. Isaac and her brother, but if they had to kill that strong man, there would definitely be a large number of casualties.
Letting that guy go from Nasir might not be a bad thing.
Moreover, after escaping the pursuit, the other party would never dare to stay in Nasir to secretly retaliate, because the middle and high-level leaders of the Storm Church were on their way.
Led by the old priest, everyone quickly rushed to the port of Nasir Town.
In order to preserve her spirituality, Irene did not treat ordinary people on the road, but distributed blood potions purchased by the family to help them hold on.
She then gave some minor treatment to several extraordinary people on the way, allowing the Fisher family to gain their favor at a very low cost.
Byrne observed his surroundings along the way and remained highly alert at all times. If there was any sign of trouble, he would immediately use his extraordinary ability "Sketch".
One thing he thought about a few years ago was why he didn't draw a picture of his target in advance. After trying it, he quickly realized the problems that would arise from doing so.
The effect of a "sketched" painting has a range and duration. A painting that is completely drawn in advance will become an ordinary painting after a few hours.
But Byrne soon discovered an important thing, that is, his spirituality would only be deducted when he finished the last stroke and the entire painting became complete, and the painting would only achieve extraordinary effect at that moment.
In fact, as long as he doesn't finish painting, he won't consume his spiritual energy.
So now he only needs a few tenths of a second to complete a sketch.
It’s not because Byrne’s hand speed is extraordinary and he can make a painting in an instant, but because he has thought of a new method of “prefabricated painting”.
Through the effect of "deep memory", one can draw the people and things one has seen almost completely in advance, leaving only the last stroke undrawn.
When you see the enemy, instantly add the final stroke to complete the painting, making the originally ordinary "prefabricated painting" produce an extraordinary effect.
The picture album he carried with him tonight actually contained Nasir's "pre-made pictures" of all the extraordinary people except the Fisher family, all of which were prepared in advance.
As long as we are willing to continue to summarize and develop, the application of supernatural powers can be extended and improved. Byrne gradually formed this concept in his mind and felt that he should deepen his understanding on this path.
In the quiet harbor, the strong sea breeze with a salty smell blows towards you, and the dark sea water surges softly and quietly under the night sky.
When the dragon-like team holding torches arrived at the port, they saw a ship gradually moving in the distance. When it got closer, the firelight illuminated the figures of Mrs. Isaac and her brother.
Mrs. Isaac no longer wore a long dress, but changed into a set of rusty armor painted with alchemical runes. She held two dazzling swords in her hands, and the dark color was extremely serious.
The old priest stared silently at the face of his old friend on the boat. Then, he heard Byrne shout without hesitation:
"Attack! They are on the ship, don't let those cultists go!"
Many patrol guards picked up their flintlock rifles and began to shoot at the target. The small ship was still within the effective range of the flintlock rifles by 100 meters and was immediately subjected to continuous attacks from a hail of bullets.
Byrne knelt on one knee, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and skillfully sketched the hull with amazing speed.
No matter what, he didn't want to let go of the cultist who had designs on his wife and children!
By the time Byrne had finished painting the entire picture, the ship had already sunk, and the two figures on board had already jumped into the sea.
He hesitated for a moment, then shouted again, "If they can't drown, they will definitely climb up. Everyone be careful and alert!"
There is no Nasir person who cannot swim, and there are even quite a few who are good at diving. It is impossible for two extraordinary people to drown at the seaside, unless they were extremely unlucky and got shot just now.
If they don't drown, the two extraordinary beings will climb out, and then a fierce battle will be inevitable!
The port of Nasir is not big, and with so many people holding torches, they can easily see if anyone is approaching.
Everyone was waiting with bated breath. The air was filled with tension. As time passed, people felt that every second seemed like an eternity.
In the silence, the atmosphere around became more oppressive, and fear, hope and uncertainty collided with each other, lingering in everyone's heart.
However, there was no sound in the silent harbor. After more than ten minutes, not a single person appeared in the water in front of everyone.
They disappeared?
Byrne fell into deep thought, wondering whether they transformed into sea creatures and swam away, or used other methods to leave the water.
No, if they could swim away, there would be no need to come to the dock to prepare the boat!
