Chapter 1440 - 417: The Demon King Returns to a Familiar Place
The "Far Voyager" glided smoothly for an entire day, only to finally reach its limit.
Luo Yan's joke that "this airship is just an experimental piece" unfortunately came true.
It began with a groan from inside the airbag, ignored by everyone, it quickly escalated into ancient wheezing.
Finally, with an excruciatingly loud "creak", the dragon bone supporting the entire airbag snapped under stress!
"Boom——!"
The airship sharply tilted to one side, causing tables, books, and tea sets in the cabin to slide. Just before they crashed into a mess, Luo Yan calmly raised his hand and collected them into his space ring.
The violent airflow rushed into the cracked cabin, sweeping Taufu, who was watching the scenery by the window, right out.
"Oh oh oh no! I'm going to fall! I'm going to die! I knew this broken 'walnut' was unreliable!"
With lips flapping wildly, Taufu, rolled to the corner of the cabin, screamed in terror piercing through the sky, clutching a seemingly firm support column with all her limbs, her little dragon wings and tail flapping chaotically like in a seizure.
There was probably no dragon on this continent more disgraceful than her.
In stark contrast to Taufu's panic, when the airship tilted, Sarah simply adjusted her balance and silently moved beside Luo Yan like a phantom.
She didn't show the slightest panic, her lively vertical pupils remained as calm as ever.
As if, even if the apocalypse came next second, as long as Lord Demon King was by her side, there was still hope.
Even though she had a bit of acrophobia.
Just like Sarah, Luo Yan's expression could also be described as at ease, unfazed by the "air disaster" before him.
He even found the time to critique Alberto's design.
"...It seems that a purely wooden structure doesn't work, both its strength and toughness are too lacking. An airship isn't a galleon; it must be replaced with lighter and stronger aluminum alloy next time."
With these thoughts, Luo Yan extended his right hand holding the magic wand.
"Calm down, Taufu, it's not time to write your will yet."
Along with his casual reassurance, surging magic power flowed from his wand's tip, silently permeating the fragile cabin.
Countless transparent airstreams, invisible to the naked eye, gathered out of nowhere, gradually compressing into milky white entities. They wrapped around the sixteen breaks in the airship's dragon bone structure like giant hands smoothly stretching out!
"Grip of the Atmosphere!"
The creaking sound of disintegration abruptly stopped; the nearly disintegrating ship body was forcibly stabilized!
Taufu was stunned by the scene before her.
Though she had seen magic before, she clearly didn't expect this guy's magic power to be so incredibly strong!
Using magic to kill or destroy a giant beast is one thing, but to magically mend a disintegrating giant beast is obviously far more astounding!
Luo Yan's actions didn't stop; the wand in his hand acted like a skillful conductor's baton.
Under his orderly command, the turbulent air currents were like musical instruments in an ensemble, weaving a melody from intense to soothing thousands of meters high in the sky.
The faltering airship tore through the fractured clouds, like a whale diving into the seabed, making an emergency landing on a relatively flat snowfield below.
After a bout of severe turbulence, the nearly disintegrating giant beast finally landed safely on the border between the Academic State and the Rhode Kingdom without accident.
The massive ship's hull plowed a deep furrow that stretched tens of meters across the thick snow, eventually coming to a stop with a spine-chilling creaking sound.
Meanwhile, the furnace under the airbag extinguished at the same time, averting a potential fire.
"Saved, saved…"
Still shaken, Taufu slumped to the ground, her face changed suddenly, turning to vomit messily.
Sarah glanced at her calmly, seeing the little one was all right, she redirected her gaze to Lord Demon King, awaiting his command.
"Lord Demon King, what do we do now?"
"I don't know, let's head out and take a look first."
Retracting the magic wrapped around the airship, Luo Yan gazed at the vast uninhabited area outside the cabin, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.
Luckily, he didn't choose to travel in a straight line south, otherwise they'd have either crashed into the perilous Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range or landed in the treacherous Dimension Desert.
He pushed the cabin door open and stepped out.
The biting cold wind howled in, yet unlike the severe chill months before, this vast snowfield was gradually welcoming its spring.
Looking at the familiar contours of distant mountains and peaks that spread like an eagle's wings, Luo Yan couldn't help but reveal an amused smile.
It was quite a coincidence, really.
Half a year ago, he participated in the winter recruitment assessment hosted by Professor Hector right here, and now, after going full circle, he returned to this place.
Quite a coincidence indeed.
Bundled in a thick cotton coat, Taufu staggered out of the airship wreckage, tail tucked under her robe, her face pale as she spoke.
"I swear, I'll never ride this thing again!"
Watching her pathetic state, Luo Yan teased with a smile.
"Don't always complain about the circumstances, wouldn't you have panicked like this if you learned to fly sooner?"
