Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 771: 245. “Teammates” Assisted Pass_3

This deep green mana, akin to the deep sea, seeped through the gaps in the cabin armor plating, drifting leisurely before the triangular heads of the Tide Guards.

“Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!”

Watching the mana that leaked from the magic array, a Tide Guard was taken aback. He promptly raised his head and let out a warning to his comrades on board.

Before they could gather and pry open the cover of the bulkhead to inspect the situation of the magic array, the same muffled sound reverberated across the ten pirate ships almost simultaneously.

“Bang…”

“Bang…”

“Bang…”

The source of these muffled sounds was the magical engine.

The noise instigated a vibration within the ship, which in turn sent ripples through the sea water, causing a series of murky echoes.

“Bang..”

“Bang..”

Several more muffled sounds emerged from the magical engine.

These sounds were transmitted into Noland Lee’s ears through his magical vision.

A hint of a smile emerged at the corner of Noland Lee’s mouth.

“As expected, what I learned from the magic textbook is correct.noveldrama

“Once the array nodes are destroyed, the first to be affected is the mana conduction process.

“Mana will leak from the array and dissipate energy in a short time, disappearing into the air.

“As the source of mana, the magical engine must always maintain the energy concentration in the array at a preset level or above.

“If the mana in the array leaks, it’s akin to a water pipe leaking. The water pressure would rapidly drop.

“The magical engine that provides mana to the array must increase the energy output to maintain the ‘water pressure’ within the array at the preset level.

“This will lead to a situation where the magical engine actively increases its workload.

“If those sea demons have not activated the safety pin designated ‘prevent automatic overload’ of the magical engine, all the magical engines will enter overload mode due to the leakage of mana, and crazily output mana.”

While maintaining his spell-casting state, Noland Lee barely split his attention, casting “Mind View” toward the engine room where the magic engine was located.

The magical engine, due to overworking, trembled violently, causing a clanging noise in the engine room.

The tumultuous deep-sea magic power was being pumped into the damaged array by these frenzied magical engines.

The more mana the damaged array leaks, the more mana the magical engine pumps into the array, resulting in a rapid increase in the load of the magical engine.

At this moment, a tiny spark was all it would take to ignite these magical engines that were on the verge of explosion, and thereby force the sea demons to surface along with the pirate ships.

Noland Lee gritted his teeth and quickly sketched out the blueprint of the “Mental Group Attack” spell in his mind.

He included the magical engines, upon which he had placed the “Tracking Mark”, as targets for the “Mental Group Attack”.

“Crackle..”

“Crackle..”

Simultaneously, deep green sparks flickered in ten magical visions observing ten magical engines.

But…

Not a single violently shaking magical engine was ignited by Noland Lee.

Noland Lee checked the passive deconstruction results in his mind, and couldn’t help but grumble:

“I am fucking impressed!

“What’s the point of the HaydenFamily producing such high-quality magical engines?!

“This medium-sized magical mechanical ship’s magical engine actually has a structure value limit of 6 million!?

“The structure value of the magical engine has only decreased by 20,000 points from overworking till now.

“Would I ever be able to ignite the magical engines? I might as well continue scraping the nodes of the magic array…”

Noland Lee suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart.

Poor him, previously he had the idea of using passive deconstruction to get the blueprints of these magical engines…

It seems that this is not likely now.

He should seize the time to destroy the nodes of the magic array!

Just as Noland Lee was thinking this, he saw a fat sea monster, bigger than the average sea demon, appearing on the magical vision that was observing the ceremony on the middle deck.

This creature appeared on the lead pirate ship. He was obese, with excess fat all over his body.

His triangular face showed clear signs of aging, his scales did not shine as brightly as those of other sea monsters.

He picked up a conch for communication with his short fingers, put it to his mouth, and blew into it.

“Hoot…whoo whoo…”

The eerie sound of the conch spread through the sea water, swiftly reaching the ears of all the Tide Guards on each ship.

Noland Lee hadn’t seen this fat sea monster before; he guessed that this guy had been hiding in the sealed cabin all along.

Now hearing him blow the conch and stabilize the situation, Noland Lee had a feeling that things might not be going too well.

“What order did this guy pass along with the conch?”

Noland Lee furrowed his eyebrows, maintaining his spell casting, intensively observing the Tide Guards who received the order.

These sea demons, tasked with guarding the pirate ships, obeyed the order transmitted by the fat sea demon through the conch, and entered the engine room housing the magical engine.

They fumbled around the magic engine, randomly banging and jabbing it with their tridents.

“Hisss——————”

In the ten magical visions observing the magic engines, a sound similar to the release of steam from a pipeline echoed.

Considering that the pirate ship was driven by mana, and there was no steam, this sound can only be attributed to the forcible shutdown of the engines.

The hissing sound that was just heard was the noise produced when the magical engines shut down.

“Did these guys shut off the magical engines?!

“Doesn’t that mean the diving magic array of the pirate ship would lose its energy supply?

“I remember it was mentioned in the deconstruction results—it was clear that this pirate ship was modified from a magical mechanical ship, and there isn’t a specialized diving water room.

“Since the diving magic array has stopped operating, won’t the pirate ships float to the surface?”
