Chapter 182: A cry from the depths of the mausoleum
...... Seeing the reaction of "Admiral Hell" Ludwell, Crane almost couldn't believe his eyes, just like the part of the living crew on the "Black Tulip".
There were two scenarios he had envisioned:
First, Ludville asked the demigods of the Spirit Order to help him ambush Gelman Sparrow and the strong man behind him, which is not impossible, and the sequence 7 of the "Grim Reaper" path is called "Psychic", which also has the ability to predict the coming of danger.
The second is that this "general of hell" was unprepared and forcibly resisted, which was easily solved by Mr. Azik.
Klein's plan is that in the first case, Mr. Azik will deal with the demigods, hunt the "Hell Admiral" by himself, and get the second puppet, if it is the second case, then implore Mr. Azik to watch and manipulate the puppet himself, and fight Ludwell, in the process, he will use the "wriggling hunger" to hide in various shadows and hide behind the scenes as much as possible in order to digest the "puppet master" potion faster.
Who knows, the "Admiral of Hell" did nothing to resist, and just prostrate on the ground and kissed the deck, if Azk was the most loyal and humble servant.
How can this be fought...... Crane stared ahead in a slightly stunned state, not sure if he should say something.
And the whole boat was also quiet.
Azik raised his hand and pressed the silk top hat above his head, and walked unhurriedly to Ludwer, who was kneeling on the ground.
One step, two steps, three steps, he stopped in front of Ludwell, the "Admiral of Hell", and said in a deep voice:
"Where is the Spiritual Order's Artificial Reaper Project?"
Ludwell, his forehead pressed against the ground, and replied hoarsely:
"The Artificial Reaper has been able to actively influence high-level people who have failed to be promoted, but has not been able to respond to invocations and rituals......"
After describing it, he lifted his upper body slightly, took off the square-shaped black ring he was wearing in his right hand, held it in both hands, and handed it to the front.
Silently, the ring flew up on its own, falling into Azk's palm, as if held by countless spirits.
Azk looked at it for a few seconds, then twisted the ring and placed it on his left index finger.
Suddenly, a terrifying and indescribable feeling of superiority spread out from his body, and those living corpses and skeletons who were naked or wearing tattered leather armor knelt down on one knee one after another, buried their heads, and seemed to dare to only look directly at his leather boots, and the flying resentful spirits and shadows also fell to the ground, clinging to the deck, and none of them floated in the air.
One by one, the rest of the pirates on board threw themselves to the ground, burying their faces above the deck, not daring to lift them in the slightest.
Crane stood on the other end, looking at Mr. Azik's back and the open scene, opening his mouth but saying nothing.
Azik took two more steps forward to the side of the "Admiral of Hell", then turned to face Klein and said to Ludwell:
"You will be his secret puppet for a year, and when the time limit is reached, you can return to the spirit world. ”
Azik's words were plain, and they didn't seem to involve the life and death of the "Admiral of Hell" or the future, or, for him, it was just a trivial matter, and he didn't need to care about the mood and thoughts of the person being ordered.
Ludwell's body trembled violently, as if angry and unwilling, but in the end he didn't raise his head, still pressed his forehead against the deck and said:
"Yes, Great Archon of Death. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the mysterious symbols rendered by the pale and the dark green were highlighted one after another, intertwined together, forming an illusory bronze gate.
The bronze gate shrank rapidly, falling to the forehead of the "Admiral of Hell" and burrowing in.
Crane watched a little stunned and confused, until Mr. Azk nodded to him and pointed to "Hell Admiral", and then he stepped forward, entered the 10-meter range, and manipulated Ludville's spirit line.
The pirate general tried to bounce up and wave his arms several times, but he couldn't do so, and soon, his mind became sluggish and he subconsciously struggled.
After a while, the silver-white mask of "Admiral Hell" Ludwell rolled over and stood up, lowered his head, and retreated to Klein's side, one left and one right with Enzo, the "winner".
Azk watched quietly, and at the end he spoke slowly:
"In the 'Grim Reaper' path, those in high positions have a strong ability to suppress those who are lower. ”
...... It can be deduced that when I threw your bronze whistle before, the "Hell Admiral" as a Sequence 5 "Hell Admiral" was completely unable to control the undead creatures that belonged to him...... Crane nodded slightly, signaling that he remembered the incident.
Immediately afterward, a living corpse that had rotted several times crawled up and walked up to Klein with an azure armspike in his hand.
This is his lost fish-man armbud!
Although it is no longer of much use to me now, it has finally returned...... Crane sighed inexplicably, and reached out to retrieve the item that belonged to him.
Then he saw Mr. Azik walking back, and his hand grabbed him by the shoulder.
He hurriedly stretched out his hands and grabbed the shoulders of Enzo and Ludwell, respectively.
All the colors then became intense, vivid but overlapping, and Crane, who had entered the spirit world, instinctively asked:
"Mr. Azik, where are you going now?"
"Furious Sea. Azik replied calmly.
He paused, and added:
"Give me the brass whistle. ”
“...... Good. Crane asked Enzo to take out the iron cigarette case and the quaint bronze whistle inside.
Azik stretched out his hand to take it, and said in a low voice:
"My instincts tell me that this ring left by the Grim Reaper and the bronze whistle should be able to find the place where the Grim Reaper fell in the Berserk Sea. ”
Klein subconsciously spoke:
"My dreams tell me it's dangerous there.
"Perhaps we should first go to the members of the Spirit Order who are obsessed with the Artificial Reaper Project, and get more detailed information from them before making a decision. ”
Azk was silent for a few seconds and said:
"There was a voice calling to me. ”
Crane turned his head sideways and looked at Mr. Azik, only to see the man with soft facial features and bronze eyes, his contours were tightly tense, and the corners of his mouth did not have a little extra curvature.
Blocks of color flew by, and Azk and Crane quickly entered the furious sea area where the dark lightning swept through the dark storm.
At this moment, the dark and cold square ring and the delicate and simple brass whistle shimmered at the same time, illuminating Azk's face.
The surviving "Archon of Death" of the Quaternary closed his eyes, listened silently to the shouts from nowhere, and then slammed his right hand.
All the scenes in the nearby spirit realm then collapsed inward, turning into a dark vortex that could not see the edge and slowly turned.
The vortex swelled, swallowing Azk, Crane, and the two puppets.
Klein felt a sudden and intense dizziness and almost vomited on the spot.
It didn't take long for him to recover, and he found himself in the dark and cold mausoleum, surrounded by an open coffin with rotting dead people with white feathers on their backs.
Although Mr. Azik was reminded, he still came here...... Klein was stunned for a second, and a sense of helplessness that could not be contained suddenly appeared in his heart.
He looked sideways and saw Azik standing nearby, staring into the depths of the mausoleum to which the stairs lead.
There was a thick black air there, and the haze flowed slowly.
"It's probably a man-made Grim Reaper...... there," Klein couldn't help but remind.
The lines of Azk's face were no longer so tight, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned:
"The previous slumber reminded me of more things, I saw myself sitting on the throne of skulls, I saw the extraordinary and ordinary people who had fallen in front of the throne, they had done nothing wrong, they died suddenly, and then one by one they got up and became pale undead, undead who were loyal to me.
And I just watched coldly, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, and allowed this disaster to spread to the countryside, to the city.
"It doesn't feel like me, but I know that this may be who I really are. ”
Is the "Archon of Death" in the Quaternary Byron Empire...... Crane's mouth twitched, and he pursed it tightly.
Azik raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead, and continued in a calm tone:
"I feel like I'm coming back in that direction. ”
