Chapter 68
Merlin was the one who had caused the Kraken to attack the Dead Man’s Ship. He had been concerned that the two sides wouldn’t attack each other since they were both monsters, but he was relieved to find that this wasn’t the case. Seeing the battle unfold from a safe distance, Merlin was able to tell that the battle had entered its final stages.
The Dead Man’s Ship was the losing party. Though the 10,000 manned undead monster corps possessed a tremendous amount of power, they were at a disadvantage on this battlefield. The undead were virtually powerless in the water, so going up against the Kraken, ruler of the seas, was inevitably going to be an uphill battle. There was essentially no chance for the undead to come out victorious.
Whoosh.
As Merlin awakened his magic power, the sapphire started to glow blue and emit a trembling sound. It contained a large amount of magic power. It wasn’t as much as the Lich used to create the dark dragon, but it was several times more than the usual amount Merlin could use.
“If I let any more time pass, nothing will be left over.”
He clenched his hand into a fist, breaking the sapphire into pieces and releasing a deluge of magic power. He was still about a kilometer away from the Dead Man’s Ship. If he had released the magic in the sapphire an hour before, he would have alerted Heinkel and been countered. However, right now, the Dead Man’s Ship was in a critical situation, and nobody on board had the wherewithal to pay attention to his moves.
Whoosh!
It was impossible to expand one’s spiritual power limit by force, but Merlin had discovered that magic power and internal energy could be expended and then recovered. If that wasn’t possible, then there would be no use in training one’s spiritual power, so he had spent two weeks perfecting this one spell.
