Chapter 578
Splat—
Dark green magic scattered from the dark mage like a dying breath, the aftereffect of his broken spell. After a final convulsion, he fell backward like a log.
Ian was no longer looking at him. Keeping low, he took a slanted step and turned.
Swoosh—
A corrupted sailor lunged, bringing down a rusted blade. The Cloak of the Undying, saturated with crimson divinity, flared, and before the strike could land, a hexagonal wall of Platinum Barrier surged forth.
Crack—
The surface of the shield slammed into the side of the sailor who had struck the cloak. The impact sent the sailor flying sideways like a cannonball.
Crash!
The corrupt sailor tumbled across the deck and crashed into the opposite railing like a wooden doll. Already unconscious, it would topple into the sea the moment the hull rocked. Of course, Ian was already kicking off the deck toward the next charging sailor.
Every damn one of them looks sickening.
This one was covered in a glistening slime. It was clutching a slime-drenched harpoon like a spear. Before it could even thrust, the bladed edge of the shield embedded itself deep in the middle of its anglerfish-like face. As its long, torn mouth gaped open, the Vacuum Explosion blew its head clean off.
Boom!
