Chapter 2163 - 2152: Sky Warrior
The Demon Core, although sturdy, is not stable.Besides using spiritual power to stimulate the Demon Core and guide its magic power, there is another method to instantly unleash the core's power.
That is to consume it orally.
After consuming the Demon Core, it takes no more than three seconds to detonate the explosive power within.
But in those three seconds, the person who swallows it will endure endless pain.
The violent power inside the Demon Core will first destroy the internal organs and then turn the human body into a bomb.
It is for this reason that the Canglan Empire, after unifying the Green Continent, listed Demon Cores as a regulated item that civilians cannot possess.
Especially high rank Demon Cores, which are even more strictly regulated.
Any core beyond Fifth Rank must be reported to the Empire by nobles, and its circulation and sale are subject to strict control.
In fact, this method of using a Demon Core to perish together with the enemy is quite futile.
If one can kill the opponent in battle, there is no need to use such a technique.
If one is outmatched, even if this method is used.
However, the explosion speed of the Demon Core is too fast, and its impact is quite obvious.
Three seconds are enough for opponents of the same level to distance themselves and escape the blast range.
So basically, no one uses such extreme methods.
Once the Demon Core is consumed, it cannot be reversed, and the user is doomed.
If not for considering that someone might recklessly use it among civilians, the Canglan Empire would not bother to restrict civilian ownership.
On land, it is indeed futile, but at sea, it's different; if someone consumes a high rank Demon Core, the explosive power is sufficient to blow a large hole in a ship.
Thinking of this, Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief but felt a bit secretly dissatisfied.
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Wilton's forehead as he secretly rejoiced, thinking, "Thank goodness it was a Second Rank Demon Core."
If a mid-to-high rank Demon Core exploded on the ship, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he, as the steward, would be unable to evade responsibility.
At this moment, Rebecca's expression changed drastically, and she asked nervously, "Does the Hope know about this?"
Wilton was stunned, then screamed hoarsely,
"Quick, escort the young miss away."
The twelve Magic Crystal Cannons on the Hope always remained on alert, aimed at the small island.
Those overseeing these Magic Crystal Cannons are all bondservants generations loyal to the Sisina Family, their loyalty beyond question.
Moreover, dozens of Black Armored Guards protect them.
Before disembarking, Wilton had instructed that if an accident occurred, the village should be razed to the ground.
Right now, that pervasive blood mist in the air is indeed the true portrayal of "accident."
Though the group was still some distance from the village, the simultaneous firing of those twelve Magic Crystal Cannons could still affect those present with its explosion's residual effects.
Those mercenaries, those commoners, if they die, then so be it; Wilton felt no burden in his heart.
But if Rebecca were to get injured, he would likely have to die to atone.
"Even if it means dying, guard the young miss well."
After speaking, Wilton prepared to fly towards the Hope but then noticed someone had already rushed ahead.
"These damn fools."
Since the life-and-death battle began, Ning Fan hadn't regarded his opponents before him; his attention was always on Rebecca's side.
Seeing the four streaks of Flowing Light flying over, had he not overheard the earlier opponent, Ning Fan would likely have assumed these were Rebecca's pitfall.
The entities of the four streaks of Flowing Light were all basketball-sized balls of orange-red flame.
The magical fluctuations contained within reached Sixth Rank.
This is the terrifying aspect of the Magic Crystal Cannon.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the core body of the Magic Crystal Cannon can withstand the power of a Forbidden Spell.
With sufficient magic power, it can launch the Forbidden Spell like a cannonball.
The Magic Crystal Cannon, on the Green Continent, could be called the unrivaled king of weapons.
Feeling the magic power fluctuations of the orange light balls, Ning Fan cursed in his heart,
"Damn royalty, this is so trash. Such terrifying power can actually be possessed by civilians."
This is akin to ordinary people having nuclear buttons on Earth.
"Sky-Splitting Nine Transformations Fifth Level—Shake Mountains and Split Rivers."
In an instant, Ning Fan threw four punches in succession.
To simultaneously detonate those four magic cannonballs, with his current strength, the force that could be stacked in the extremely short time was only five layers.
The almost simultaneous appearance of the punch wind formed four gray-white wind spheres, colliding head-on with the magic cannonballs.
The earth-shattering explosion frightened the lips of those on the island to turn pale.
The clouds originally floating in the sky seemed to vanish under the impact of the heat waves.
The once calm sea suddenly stirred up massive waves.
The ocean water seemed to boil fiercely, with countless sea fish flipping over belly up, floating amidst the surf.
And in the sky where sea and sky merge, a huge sea of fire appeared.
The sea of fire dyed the blue sea blood red, with countless wisps of white steam rising to the clouds, seeming ethereal and enveloping.
Witnessing this sight and feeling the astounding heat waves emanating from the sea of fire, Ning Fan's eyes showed shock, "This is the power of the Magic Crystal Cannon."
When the explosion occurred, Ning Fan was blown away by the massive shockwave, and had he not stabilized his form in time, he wouldn't know where he'd be blown to.
Seeing Ning Fan standing proudly in mid-air, Rebecca's expression turned dazed, "Void Walk. Eighth Rank Sky Warrior!"
Sixth Rank Elemental Warriors can channel magic into their bodies and merge it with Battle Aura.
Seventh Rank Earth Warriors are known as kings of the land, unrivaled on ground.
And Eighth Rank warriors allow humans to escape the constraints of earth and pursue the sky like birds.
It's not the brief levitation or gliding in mid-air.
It refers to the initial perception of spatial power, allowing warriors to walk in void, as if walking on firm ground.
This rank of warriors is called Sky Warriors.
Throughout the Canglan Empire, compared to the vast cultivation community, Sky Warriors are exceptionally rare, with not even one emerging among ten thousand.
If a Sky Warrior is willing to serve the Empire or any Duke, the other party is even prepared to offer the title of Viscount, with a hereditary three-generation transfer system.
Overnight, fish leap over the Dragon Gate to become one of the ruling classes of this Empire.
Even with Rebecca's Marquis family, they couldn't invite a Sky Warrior as their patron, demonstrating the scarcity of Sky Warriors.
Who could have imagined, on Hill Island, this isolated overseas isle, the elegance of a Sky Warrior would be witnessed.
Moreover, this Sky Warrior is extraordinarily young, excessively so, looking merely like a handsome young man.
"Ning Fan!"
Rebecca's beautiful eyes surveyed the sky, her emerald pupils glistening with Flowing Light, pondering an unknown matter.
All of Wilton's dissatisfaction vanished in front of that soaring figure.
With a bang, behind Ning Fan emerged a radiant burst akin to fireworks.
Watching those dark pupils, Wilton's heart chilled, hastily explaining, "I'm notifying those on the ship."
