Whoosh!
Fang Heng’s figure had been levitating high above the flagship’s bow. His hands had condensed an imprint in front of him.
Skeleton summoning skill!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
In an instant, enormous magic arrays had appeared around Fang Heng and had taken position.
As dense death mist had poured out from the magic arrays, waves of terrifying pressure had surged outward. White skeletal giant beings had flown out from the magic arrays.
"What was that!"
"Bone Dragons!"
It had been Bone Dragons!
On the ships below, the soldiers of the Oz Empire had shown expressions of shock as they had seen the white Bone Dragons emerging from the summoning magic arrays beside Fang Heng.
The imperial soldiers had already heard on Pulau Island that Fang Heng could summon undead creatures, but they had never expected that what he had summoned this time had been Bone Dragons that could only be seen in ancient legendary books.
The overwhelming coercion brought by the Bone Dragons had spread widely, and the soldiers on the ships had felt their legs slightly trembling.
"Roar!"
After being summoned, the Bone Dragons let out a roar and flew toward a higher altitude.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred Bone Dragons had been hovering above the fleet.
The soldiers had looked at the dark mass shrouded in death mist in the sky and had felt an oppressive weight in their chests.
Princess Willow had, after her initial shock, gradually shown an expression of excitement, muttering to herself, "Bone Dragons..."
No wonder Fang Heng had been so confident about going to Whispering Island to complete the mission.
She no longer had any doubt about Fang Heng’s ability.
With so many Bone Dragons, destroying the Lyman Empire’s warships had been effortless.
Even if Fang Heng had wanted to, using these Bone Dragons to invade the Lyman Empire’s mainland had not been impossible.
Fang Heng had jumped onto the back of one Bone Dragon and had rapidly condensed an imprint in front of him.
"Gather!"
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!!!
Chains of death had shot out from the black death mist and had pierced toward the ships below, tightly binding and locking them, hanging them onto the bodies of the Bone Dragons.
"Kacha, kacha kacha..."
The ships had emitted slight shaking sounds.
At that moment, the imperial soldiers on board had suddenly realized in shock that their entire ship had been slowly lifted upward by black chains and had gradually left the surface of the sea.
They could not believe it.
The soldiers had already sensed what was about to happen and had grabbed onto the masts beside them, their eyes filled with deep shock.
Had Fang Heng intended to use the power of the Bone Dragons to carry their ships and fly above the sea?
Fang Heng had stood firmly on the Bone Dragon’s back and had looked far toward Whispering Island in the east, saying coldly, "Let’s go. Set sail."
"Roar!!!"
The Bone Dragon swarm had roared again, flapping their bone wings and gradually accelerating toward Whispering Island.
Time had been tight.
Then it had been necessary to move even faster.
Fang Heng had condensed another imprint.
Death aura had spread from his body and had wrapped around the Bone Dragons.
With the enhancement of the black mist, the Bone Dragons’ speed had increased once again.
On the ships, the accompanying soldiers of Princess Willow had looked at the ships flying above the sea at high speed, their eyes filled with disbelief.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that summoned creatures could drag warships to sail through the sky.
Yet it had happened right before them.
Princess Willow had stood on the bow deck, feeling the cold sea wind blowing against her face, and had asked, "What is our current speed?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the current speed has already exceeded 75 knots. It has surpassed the fastest sailing speed under divine blessing, and it is still continuously increasing."
The soldier had been speechless in shock.
At this rate, they would likely reach Whispering Island in less than two hours.
If they could use this speed to launch a surprise attack on an enemy nation, who could defend against it?
The soldier had carefully looked up at Fang Heng under the shadow of the sky.
No wonder the princess had valued him so highly and had even taken the risk to come personally.
"Record the data," Willow had said calmly, though her inner emotions had been far from calm.
This sudden appearance of Fang Heng might have been the hope for their empire’s rise.
...
Because the Bone Dragons had flown too fast, the ships being dragged below had begun to shake significantly.
For safety, Fang Heng had gradually reduced speed to maintain stability.
One and a half hours later, the fleet had arrived at the periphery of Whispering Island.
Fang Heng had not reversed the summoning of the Bone Dragons. He had only detached the death chains from the ships, then had jumped down from the Bone Dragon back onto the ship deck.
"Your Highness, we have arrived."
After witnessing the Bone Dragon display, the imperial soldiers under Princess Willow no longer dared to interrupt Fang Heng casually, and their eyes toward him had become more respectful.
Princess Willow had nodded lightly and had asked, "Fang Heng, Whispering Island is extremely dangerous. Do you need me to send people to go ashore with you?"
"Thank you, Your Highness, but it is not necessary. Too many people would only cause trouble."
Fang Heng had looked toward Whispering Island in the distance and had said seriously, "Regardless of success or failure in obtaining the divine authority, I will return before sunset. Please remain here, Your Highness. The Bone Dragons will ensure your safety."
Willow had felt somewhat amused.
She had originally come with the fleet to protect Fang Heng, but now it had almost seemed like she had become a burden instead.
Fang Heng had actually been concerned about Willow encountering danger.
After all, she had promised to help him find higher-level divine statues upon returning to the empire.
They could not allow anything to happen to her.
The Bone Dragons still had to remain behind to protect her.
"Whispering Island was once inhabited by Yak Tribe garrisons. Later, they were affected by an unknown force and lost their sanity, completely breaking away from Yak Tribe control. However, based on current intelligence, all signs suggest they still retain partial consciousness. The Yak Tribe’s language is obscure and difficult to understand, and most of them do not understand the common language, making communication very difficult."
As she spoke, Willow gestured to a dark-skinned, strong middle-aged man beside her. "He is Muller, my personal bodyguard. He was born in the Yak Tribe and understands their native language. He will go ashore with you and should be able to help."
"Thank you."
Fang Heng cupped his hands slightly toward Willow in acknowledgment, then nodded lightly at Muller beside him before leading him toward the merchant ship.
Willow watched as Fang Heng boarded the merchant ship.
Nearby, a guard still felt worried and asked, "Your Highness, is it really okay to let them enter Whispering Island?"
Although Fang Heng could summon powerful creatures like the Bone Dragon, Whispering Island was notoriously dangerous. It could affect the mind, and ordinary Bone Dragons might not be effective there.
"If Fang Heng insists on going, he must have some confidence. Let’s observe for now," Willow said.
At the same time, in the central small town of Whispering Island, a tall spire of stone stood upright.
A figure hovered in midair beside the spire, gazing into the distance toward Willow’s fleet.
Eli had gazed into the distance, his expression solemn, and had murmured, "God... I have felt a powerful force approaching."
"Is it coming for you?"
The stone pillar had emitted a faint glow.
Eli’s face had gradually twisted, his expression turning bloodthirsty. He said, "God, outsiders have disturbed our peace. Please grant me strength to turn them into sacrifices for you..."
