Suddenly there was a sharp whistling sound in the air.
Everyone looked up and saw a group of demon imps falling from the sky. These imps were short in stature, but had a pair of huge bat wings, ferocious faces, and mouths full of sharp fangs. They waved their crude weapons and swooped down towards Ed and the others.
Belinda's face changed, and she quickly formed seals with her hands. A water curtain appeared out of thin air, blocking everyone's heads. The little demons hit the water curtain, were bounced back, and fell to the ground, knocked unconscious.
However, they quickly got up and attacked again.
At the same time, at the other end of the street, several zombies slowly swayed over.
These corpses were rotting all over and emitting a disgusting stench. Some of their arms were broken, with only half of the bones exposed. Some had their stomachs ripped open, with their internal organs dragging on the ground. As they moved, pools of blood spread on the ground.
Although their movements were slow, every step they took carried a foul smell that seemed to pollute the surrounding air.
Carlisle snorted coldly and waved his hands. The surrounding leaves flew up and, under his control, turned into sharp flying knives, shooting towards the corpse.
The flying knife accurately pierced the corpse's head, heart and other vital parts. The corpse shook a few times and then fell to the ground with a bang.
But troubles followed one after another, and a group of rotten dogs rushed out, roaring.
These rot dogs have red eyes, green saliva flowing from their mouths, their fur has fallen off, revealing mottled flesh with strands of rotten meat hanging on it.
They ran very fast and rushed in front of everyone in an instant.
Ed and the others fought hard, fighting and retreating, with some injuries on their bodies, but they never gave up, and approached the airship step by step with difficulty.
Finally, they managed to rush under the broken airship.
At this time, the airship was surrounded by rotten corpses with a strange smell. Ed knew that the most important thing now was time, and he couldn't let the mountain of meat continue to grow. He took a deep breath and quickly cast a simple domain.
In an instant, a layer of golden light appeared on his body. He shouted loudly, and used the power of "Flash" to take Angelica, Belinda and Carlisle, and they quickly got on the airship like a ghost.
As soon as they boarded the airship, everyone collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. They knew that they were only temporarily out of danger. Next, whether they could activate the magic cannon would be the key to determining victory or defeat.
Ed and the others carefully stepped into the wreckage of the broken airship, and the scene before them was shocking.
The wreckage was in a mess, with various corpses and the remains of demons scattered everywhere. The smell of blood and rotten flesh intertwined together and hit people in the face, making people feel nauseous. Some of the corpses had been gnawed beyond recognition, with bones exposed and internal organs scattered all over the ground; some of the limbs were incomplete, with blood and flesh blurred at the broken parts, and wisps of fascia still hanging on, as if telling of the fierce battle that had once taken place.
However, surprisingly, in this tragic scene, there were no dead bodies of any students. Everyone couldn't help but wonder whether they had been evacuated or swallowed up by the horrible mountain of plague flesh.
Feeling nervous and uneasy, Ed and the others slowly walked into the control room of the airship.
The control room was also in a dilapidated state, with cracks all over the walls. Some parts had even collapsed, with brick and stone fragments scattered all over the floor.
The control console was crooked, many instrument panels had been smashed to pieces, and the indicator lights were flickering dimly, as if they were struggling to survive.
The seats were tilted, some of the backs were broken, and the leather cushions were scratched, revealing the padding inside.
Ed and the others had no time to lament the dilapidated scene and quickly took their positions.
Carlisle walked straight to the power unit, squatted down, and carefully felt and inspected the complex circuits and parts with his hands.
After a moment, he raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and said loudly: "There is no big problem with the power unit!"
At the same time, Angelica came to the deck and her eyes fell on the huge magic cannon.
The barrel of the magic cannon was severely twisted and deformed, as if it had been bent by a huge force. The barrel was covered with potholes and even had cracks in several places. The runes were dim and obviously damaged.
Belinda saw this and her face instantly lost. Her eyes were red and she cried, "It's over. The magic cannon is broken."
Ed's heart sank as he looked at the badly damaged magic cannon.
He was well aware that with his half-baked alchemy level in making lighters, he was completely helpless in the face of such a sophisticated and complex magic cannon. He frowned and muttered to himself: "Then, is there no other way?"
Carlisle stood up, dusted off his hands, and walked over to continue, "The energy cabin on the spacecraft still has more than half of its energy, and the power room is not damaged. This airship can still be started, but this thing has been broken into two sections, and it can't fly."
"What if we push forward?" Ed asked anxiously, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
Carlisle frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then answered: "There is nothing wrong with moving forward, but we can only keep moving forward. We can't stop. Wait a minute, what are you going to do?"
Ed returned to the control room, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and madness. He took a deep breath and said loudly: "I plan to drive this half of the airship into that meat mountain! I want to detonate the power room!"
You are crazy! Do you want to die? "Belinda's eyes widened, her face full of horror, and her voice rose several octaves.
"I'm not crazy! This is the best solution I can come up with. Angelica, your blasting magic is necessary. When I rush towards the Meat Mountain, I will need you to blow up the power room and detonate the energy capsule inside!" Ed looked at Angelica, his eyes firm and full of expectation.
"Ed, if you want to die, don't take Angelica with you. Do you know how large the range of the explosion generated by so much energy is? How are you going to run?" Belinda screamed and rushed over to try to grab Ed.
Ed turned to look at Angelica, stared into her eyes, and said firmly: "I will cast 'Flash' and take Angelica away. Angelica, do you believe me?"
Angelica looked at Ed with a dazed look in her eyes. Her thoughts drifted back to her childhood, thinking of the first time she met Ed, and the scene in which he constantly challenged her in the College Points Challenge, as well as the choice of life and death at this moment.
She chuckled, and that smile was like the warm spring sun, dispelling some of the fear, and said, "Even you dare to do this, how can I, as the daughter of Duke Rudeus, not dare to do it, Ed, I believe in you!"
