175 Wandering (1)
Hobbs didn’t notice what was happening on the deck of the huge warship. He continued pretending to be relaxed and said to William, “Mr. Ishmael, it’s better to help accelerate the ship first… As long as you ignore them, they’re only illusions.” f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋noѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺
He tried his best to lower his voice when he reached the latter half of the sentence.
William didn’t reply. Instead, he continued staring at the illusion of the sword being raised at him.
He couldn’t ignore the other party. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
Terra Riel was only an illusion from 800 years ago, but his body on Whalebone was also an illusion woven from Mirror Shadow.
Therefore, the other party had indeed seen him. Moreover, just like the black dragon from before, the other party could effectively attack him.
This was one of the reasons why William couldn’t ignore him.
More importantly, even if the other party was an illusion, William didn’t want to let him off.
William had no objections to Terra Riel claiming to be his reincarnation and using this identity to unify the entire Vic Continent.
It was very common for a ruler to add a mysterious aura to his background, let alone in an alternate world where real gods and magic existed. It was even common in William’s previous world.
He couldn’t ask for too much from future generations.
However, the problem was what kind of crap did the other party do after obtaining the highest authority?
Just the promulgation of the Astral Laws and the establishment of the Eighth Holy Spirit worship were enough for William to lock him up in the Black Prison and torture him with his Soul Fire for eternity.
Even though the other party was an illusion from the past, William had no intention of letting him off.
Therefore, their gazes crossed more than 800 years and looked at each other from a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers.
William stared into Terra’s eyes and said slowly, “Don’t worry about it. That phantom has already noticed me.”
Hobbes followed William’s gaze and glanced at the front deck of the warship. Then, he immediately turned his head.
“Stop looking. If you continue looking, everyone on the ship will die with you!”
Hobbs hurriedly advised when he saw the person wearing a crown and suspected to be the founding emperor of the empire pointing his sword over.
“No one will die on this ship. Just leave first. I’ll be back soon,” William said calmly.
“How? We’re at sea!”
Hobbs became anxious when he heard William’s tone as if he was discussing what to eat today. He shouted into William’s ear.
From his point of view, if they were targeted by this legendary Illusion Ship, unless a miracle happened and the mist immediately dissipated, they would definitely end up with their ship destroyed and everyone dead.
They couldn’t even deal with the ordinary empire warship previously. Now that they encountered this huge ship suspected to be the legendary Crown, did they have a chance of escaping?
William didn’t explain. He took a step forward and a silver nexus floated on the deck. Then, he stomped hard and was instantly swept up by a gust, levitating him in midair.
The powerful whirlwind not only lifted William into the air, but it also cleared the mist surrounding the Whalebone in a cylindrical manner. Golden sunlight shone on the deck of the Whalebone through the dispersed mist, causing the people standing on the deck to raise their hands and cover their eyes.
Ignoring the cries of surprise on the ship, William waved his hand forcefully at the sails. Several spells were instantly constructed and activated. Many gusts of wind attacked from the void, raising the sails and pushing the Whalebone into the distance.
William’s gaze didn’t leave the person for a moment.
“How long can it last?” William asked softly.
This question was directed at Liz, who was providing him with a magical connection.
“I’m not sure… But ever since this mist began, I feel that the consumption needed to maintain the Faerie Mist seems to have decreased greatly. If nothing goes wrong, it can last for at least ten minutes… However, that will require you to stop the wind first?”
When Liz replied, she grabbed William’s shoulder tightly to prevent herself from being blown away by the gusts.
“Sorry, sorry…”
As William spoke, he immediately dispelled the Floating spell that supported him and changed it to the Morph spell, Wings. With a whoosh, a pair of wide membrane wings grew along his shoulder blades. Then, they flapped forcefully and made him hover in midair.
William was now the one looking down at Terra’s illusion.
“I sense a familiar aura from you. Have we met?”
Terra’s phantom, who was standing on the deck and looking up at William, finally spoke.
Perhaps it was because of his illusory essence, but his voice echoed hollowly.
“Then you must have the wrong person.”
As William spoke, he slowly raised his hands. The seawater under his feet surged violently as if it was boiling. A few seconds later, two waterspouts darted out of the sea like wyrms. They gathered thousands of tonnes of seawater and stirred beside William.
Seeing the two dancing waterspouts, Terra’s phantom revealed a serious expression and said, “So you caused this storm? You want to use this to stop me?”
