Chapter 882 Chase

Chapter 882 Chase

Mira surged towards the ship with her [Paragon Wings] trailing behind her like a comet.

Elenei, not to be outdone, transformed into her true form, a magnificent Frozen Ash Dracophoenix, and followed suit.

The crew aboard the ship sensed two people with similar auras to their leader and started to panic. "Prepare the defenses!" the captain barked, but there was no anxiety or fear in his voice.

The ship rumbled with energy as defensive runes lit up, creating a shimmering barrier around it.

Mira reached the ship first with her scythe ready to strike. She swung it with all her might, unleashing a wave of Yin Lightning that crackled violently against the barrier. The impact shook the ship, but the barrier held.noVεlBIn

Elenei unleashed a torrent of icy fire, engulfing the barrier in a freezing inferno. The combination of fire and lightning caused the barrier to flicker and weaken.

Inside the ship, the crew frantically worked to reinforce the barrier. "Hold it steady!" the captain yelled, his hands glowing with Qi as he joined the effort. "Use more Spirit Stones if you have to!"

But Mira and Elenei were relentless. Mira launched herself at the barrier again, this time infusing her scythe with a surge of Qi that came from her black tail. The barrier cracked under the assault as she absorbed a portion of its energy.

Seeing an opening, Elenei let out a mighty cry and unleashed her full power. The icy flames intensified, seeping through the cracks and spreading throughout the ship.

The Captain's face turned serious for the first time, but he just snapped his fingers and caused all the fire to disappear. "Get your shit together and put that barrier back up! Shake those two ants off! Our priority is the treasure!"

"Yes, Sir!" The crew shouted and immediately got to work. Not even a second later, the barrier was back up at full power once again.

Now, it was their turn to attack.

The ship retaliated with a volley of energy bolts, each one a deadly projectile aimed at Mira and Elenei. They dodged and weaved through the air, narrowly avoiding the onslaught. However, the people on the ground weren't so lucky.

Explosions filled the air as people were eradicated and craters were formed in the snowy terrain. The survivors of the assault all looked at each other with mild fear in their eyes. They came to a silent, mutual understanding that they needed to put their differences aside for now and focus on the people trying to kill them.

The captain observed the 'battle' from the bridge as the crew continued to fire volley after volley of attacks. He was not afraid of losing what he set his sights on; he had faced many challenges in his time. To him, Mira and Elenei were mere obstacles to be overcome–just bigger ants.

"Focus on the crystal," he ordered calmly. "Deploy the Siphon."

A crew member activated a device, and a beam of concentrated energy shot toward the crystal, wrapping around it in an attempt to extract it.

Mira saw the beam and realized the ship's intent. "They're trying to take the crystal!" she shouted to Elenei.

The two redoubled their efforts, attacking the ship with renewed fury. Mira's scythe strikes became more ferocious, sending waves of destructive energy towards the ship. Elenei's icy flames grew colder, trying to penetrate the ship's defenses.

But the ship was resilient. It deployed additional shields and countermeasures, deflecting their attacks while continuing to extract the crystal.

On the ground, the various sects and factions had ceased their infighting and watched in awe and fear as the two powerful beings clashed with the ship.

Meanwhile, the captain stood at the helm with a grim expression. He knew the importance of the crystal and was determined to keep it out of the hands of these interlopers. "Increase power to the shields! Don't let them near the crystal!" he commanded.

The ship responded, and its shields grew stronger and brighter. The crew worked tirelessly, channeling their Qi into the ship's systems to bolster its defenses.

Mira and Elenei continued their assault. Mira launched herself from Elenei's back, transforming into a streak of light as she used her [Glacial Mirage Steps] to appear right above the ship. She swung her scythe with all her might, aiming to cleave through the shield.

The impact was immense, creating a shockwave that rippled through the air. The shield flickered and wavered but held firm.

"We need to combine our attacks!" Elenei yelled, swooping down to join Mira, who nodded in return.

The two of them then began channeling their energy together in an attempt to increase the potency of their attacks.

Mira's scythe and Elenei's icy fire worked in tandem, slicing countless holes in the barrier. The ship's defenses struggled under the relentless onslaught, cracks beginning to form in its shield.

Inside, the captain's frustration turned to desperation. He knew they couldn't withstand this assault much longer. He made a split-second decision. "Release the golems!"

At his command, a swarm of small, flying metallic golems emerged from the ship, each armed with weapons. They zoomed toward Mira and Elenei, firing a hail of metal bolts.

Mira saw the 'drones' and grinned. "Perfect." She swung her scythe, creating a whirlwind that sucked in the drones and shredded them to pieces. The debris rained down like metallic snowflakes, hiding their presence.

Elenei took advantage of the distraction and unleashed a focused beam of icy fire, targeting the now-exposed and weakened engines.

The ship lurched as one of its engines exploded in a burst of flame and smoke. Losing altitude, it started to descend rapidly.

"Now's our chance!" Mira exclaimed, her eyes locked on the crystal.

lightsnοvεl Elenei dove towards the ship like a blur. Mira readied herself, channeling her Qi in anticipation.

As they neared the ship, the captain stood defiantly at the helm, his Qi flaring. "You won't take it!" he roared, unleashing a final, desperate attack.

A massive wave of energy surged from the captain, aimed directly at Mira and Elenei. They braced themselves, ready to counter.

The energy wave collided with Elenei's icy fire and Mira's Yin Lightning, creating an explosion of light and power that enveloped the ship.

In the chaos, Mira leaped forward, her hand outstretched towards the crystal. Her fingers grazed its surface, and she felt a surge of power coursing through her.

But before she could grasp it, the ship veered off course due to its destroyed engine, taking the crystal with it.

Mira and Elenei were then thrown off balance by the explosion, and watched in frustration as the ship, with the crystal in tow, disappeared into the distance.

"Damn it! After them!" Mira shouted, flapping her [Paragon Wings] as fast as she could.
