Chapter 441 Angry Lieutenant General
Looking at the sea surface that was like a boiling soup pot, Angel silently dived underwater, avoiding the terrified gazes of the surviving pirates who looked like they had seen a siren.
She originally thought that the talisman made with a few drops of her own blood as a Sequence 5 Beyonder would at most be similar to the "Sleep" and "Dream" spells, which could have a certain effect on enemies within a radius of several meters. Even if it was called "Disaster", it might only cause a headache or fever.
Unexpectedly, a pirate ship that was dozens of meters long, loaded with hundreds of pirates and sailors, and equipped with multiple cast iron cannons, was instantly reduced to ashes by such a small piece of iron, as if it had never existed on the sea.
Its power was no less than the strongest spell Angel had ever seen, "Sun Flame," which had played a huge role in dealing with Megose in Tingen City. Klein's continuous use of it almost burned the mother of the evil god's offspring to death. The "Shattered Light Ray" made from it pierced through all the enemies present in one fell swoop. If there had been one or two more spells at that time, I'm afraid Ince Zangwill would have had to continue hiding behind the scenes and find other ways, and would never dare to show up easily.
Although the "Disaster" is not as condensed and concentrated as the "Yangyan" in terms of lethality, it can evenly release all its lethality onto the huge ship, and actually destroyed the entire "City Breaker" without killing any pirates... If the target is a mid-sequence or even a high-sequence Beyonder, can it achieve the same effect?
The only remaining problem was probably how to make the talisman hit the target directly. High-Sequence Beyonders were not as obvious as warships. No one would be foolish enough to catch a talisman thrown by the enemy. And those who could be easily hit could be dealt with without a talisman...
Thinking, Angel spit out a string of bubbles in the water, swam quickly with her limbs, and left the sea area as fast as when she came. In front of her, the "Blue Mountain Rose" was slowly moving away, dragging a trail of black smoke.

Angel returned to his suite through the porthole and shook off the sea water on his body. Only then did he realize that Elaine was sitting on the sofa, staring at him blankly.
"You...what happened to the 'city breaker' just now?"
With her excellent eyesight as a "Hunter", she watched the entire battle on the City Breaker from the porthole and saw Angel easily deal with "Lucky William" and his men.
This wasn't anything surprising. This witch, like Tracy, was a Sequence 5 Beyonder. It wasn't difficult for her to deal with a ship full of pirates and Sequence 7 William. However, after the other party jumped into the sea, the entire "City Breaker" exploded like internal explosives, shattering into almost invisible fragments. This was still beyond Elaine's imagination.
The strangest thing was that the pirates on the ship did not seem to have suffered similar injuries. Even when Angel returned to the suite, in the distant sea, the surviving pirates were still helping each other to tie together empty wooden boxes and barrels to make simple floating boats, using their hands as oars, rowing farther and farther.
Elaine, who had been with Tracy for several months, had never seen this kind of ability before, and she believed that she had not concealed similar power, otherwise the "Lieutenant General of Disease" would have been the "Queen of Disease" on par with the Four Kings.
"Just a simple spell."
Angel replied with a chuckle, turning his face away, his smile a little stiff.
The spell was indeed simple, but she had no idea what kind of power it contained, nor did she understand which god's power it borrowed. A few drops of her own blood could cause such devastation, it was comparable to the blood of a god...
Strong power will inevitably have stronger negative effects, and this is true for potions and magical items. She is safe and sound now, but perhaps she just doesn't know where the side effects will manifest themselves.
Before you understand the true meaning of "disaster", you must use it with caution...
Thinking this, Angel returned to the bedroom with a long trail of water and began to change clothes, leaving the red-haired lady with a confused look on her face.
"A simple spell?"
She murmured and repeated.
…
The Blue Mountain Rose, its boilers burning hot, ran away for a long distance. Only when Shuitianxian could no longer see the struggling pirates did the whistle sound again. The long whistle announced the end of the alert.
Angel changed into a comfortable dress and put on the crazy ring. She and Elaine returned to the deck again. Together with the passengers who ran out of the room, they looked at the back of the ship. The afternoon sun was strong. Apart from the sparkling waves on the sea, there were only vague islands in the distance. There was no ship following them.
Most of the passengers began to whisper and discuss what had just happened. They were all hiding in the cabins. Through the portholes of some rooms, they could see the "city destroyer" suddenly disappearing in the distance, but with ordinary people's eyesight, it was obviously impossible to tell what exactly happened. They could only piece together not-so-correct explanations through conversations with each other.
"...Perhaps they are just passing through. This is a safe route, patrolled by warships at all times. Most pirates wouldn't dare plunder here..."
"If you ask me, they can't catch up with this steamboat. The newspaper said that the future will be the era of steam power!"
But Angel still found that in a corner of the deck, the second mate who had come to the restaurant to inform everyone to go back to their rooms for shelter was talking to a tall and thin man wearing a boat hat.
"...I saw it clearly. The woman with light golden hair easily defeated almost all the pirates and burned their captain to death..."
"Can you recognize who it is?"
"The captain who failed to jump ship looks a bit like 'Lucky William,' the vicious pirate who committed many major crimes and had a bounty of 2,800 pounds. But he was caught a few months ago. Why is he here again?"
"I'm asking about the woman."
"Yes, Captain. I looked through the wanted posters on the ship. The only one who fits the description is the murderer wanted by the Church of Storms, the one with a 6,000 pound haul. But why is he…"
The two chatted and walked further and further away. Angel withdrew his gaze and looked at the calm sea.
Elaine beside her was not as calm as the sea. She also heard the conversation between the second mate and the captain. When she heard words like "murderer" and "6,000 pounds", she secretly turned her gaze to the woman beside her who was becoming more and more terrifying.
She was already thankful that she had decisively given up resistance last night, otherwise she might have become another blood debt on this witch's wanted list...

Long after the smoke column of the Blue Mountain Rose disappeared, a huge ship completely black slowly arrived. A white flag with a skull painted on it was flying on the top of its mast. The skull was also black, and blue flames burned in its eye sockets.
The Black Death is the flagship of Vice Admiral Tracy.
The stranded pirates who were struggling in the sea shouted loudly, and some even raised their muskets that were not yet filled with water and fired into the air to attract the attention of the ships.
A moment later, several small boats were lowered from the side of the Black Death, which picked up the pirates one by one and returned to the ship.
Waiting for the survivors of the "City Breaker" was a woman wearing a dark red coat and beige slim-fit trousers. Her long black hair was tied up behind her head and wrapped with a white headscarf. Her seductive figure was faintly visible under the white shirt under her coat. Her azure eyes were hazy and looked into the distance.
She was holding a wet red dress in her hand, the same one that Elaine had taken off and thrown out of the cabin.
That was the dress she gave to Elaine, which matched her bright red hair best. Every time she took it off Elaine, the red-haired lady always blushed, as if the red color of the dress had dyed her skin through.
She could already sense Elaine's reluctant attitude. Perhaps in another month, or even two weeks, she would be able to completely conquer her heart and make her her own from the inside out.
but……
However, she found the long skirt under the guidance of divination and picked it up from the sea as if picking up discarded garbage.
She threw away her skirt, so what should she wear?
Tracy's first reaction wasn't anger, but worry.
Seeing the pirates of the City Breaker being rescued, she snorted coldly and walked towards her trembling subordinates.
Before, these pirates who appeared respectful but actually always cast lustful eyes on his private parts would have looked over with red faces, but now they were like frightened quails, kneeling on the ground and trembling.
"What happened? Where's my 'city breaker'? Where's that shorty William?"
After repeated questioning, Tracy finally learned about the battle that took place an hour ago.
Or rather, massacre.
"All sick, like my enemies?
"Button's neck was cut by a knife?
“That fool William was tied to the rudder and burned to death?
"What did she say? Elaine is hers!?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Tracy kicked the surviving pirate in front of her and took a deep breath. She suppressed the nameless anger in her heart and continued to ask through gritted teeth:
"What about the boat? Did she kick each of you into the sea and sail away alone?"
"No, she...she blew the entire ship into pieces. Those planks are the last traces of the 'city breaker'..."
A pirate whose pants had fallen off in his panic answered in a low voice and handed over a piece of rotten deck debris. Tracy took it silently, and with a little force, the board broke into two pieces again in her palm.
"Explosives?"
After a long moment, Tracy asked with a gloomy expression.
Without waiting for the other party to answer, she shook off the crumbs on her hands and turned back to her cabin.
As a "pain" witch, she quickly understood from the surviving pirates' accounts that the extraordinary abilities used by the women attacking the "city breakers" were mostly derived from the same potion as her own. Their sharp swords and swift underwater movement could all be explained by magical items, but the ability to blow up an entire warship with a single blow without harming other pirates was the only one...
The demigod-level black flame she had seen could not achieve such an effect. Even the meteorites and hurricanes summoned by that person could easily destroy the ships, but it was impossible for them to keep the pirates safe.
Who is it?
Thinking about how she inexplicably discovered Elaine's escape a whole day late and how her divination had been repeatedly frustrated, Tracy tightly grasped the red dress in her hand, her face as cold as ice.
