Chapter 14: The Tide of Darkness
In the dark fog, a sailor prays to Naga Kapolos for a safe return.
It is not only sea beasts that move at night, but also unknown fears.
After praying, the sailor threw a Siren Coin into the water, and the surface of the water rippled in anticipation of its offer.
Attacked by a giant in a huge diving suit, the huge iron anchor hooked the people on board. They were almost wiped out, but luckily he survived and got away from the terrible creature with the ruined ship.
The wind blew the tattered sails, the hunt rattled, the air was cold, and the clammy mist condensed into dew on the poles.
"Oh, another living soul." There was a cold voice in the mist.
"You, who are you?" The sailor dragged his body to keep himself away from the green glow.
"They used to call me Warden, and I still do, come and join us." As he spoke, he handed him the lantern in his hand, and the thousands of green lights in the lamp were like the corners of the boundless sea of stars.
"No, no, stay away from me, Naga Capolos bless me from demons." He turned around and jumped into the water.
"Ha, such a good experiment, I won't let you run away." As he spoke, he waved the chain in his hand and threw it at him.
As if alive, the green rope writhed in the air and wrapped around the sailor's body, slowly bringing the lantern close to him, and the sailor seemed to see the scene of hell.
"No, no—" His struggles stopped, and the hammerstone's chains loosened.
"What a delicious soul, do you say?" As Hammerstone asked, countless green rays flashed, not knowing whether it was approval or fear.
The alarm bell rang for a long time, and the gang leaders in charge gathered in the hall, but this was not the time to come for Eclipse Night.
"What's going on, wasn't the Black Mist retreating from Shadow Island according to the law some time ago? Can anyone tell me what's going on? Sarah asked.
"Maybe something happened on the Isle of Shadows that caused the black fog to expand again." A gang leader said.
"Now, we should urgently organize a team to investigate the Shadow Isles, otherwise it will be troublesome for the black fog to enter Bilgewater." An old man offered his opinion.
"Alright, organize a team of people to go to Shadow Island, and the rest of them quickly form a defensive line." Sarah commanded.
"Ivan, I want you to go to the Isle of Shadows and ask Yorick about the reason for his Black Mist riot." Sarah said.
Ivan also accepted the invitation to join the squad, along with the card master Trist, the outlaw fanatic Greyfus, as well as five old harpooners and an old man who had gone to meet Yorick.
In a short time, a ship was prepared and sailed to the Shadow Island in the west, the place of extinction shrouded in black fog all year round.
"I didn't think I would have to save others one day, huh." Trist said.
"yes, your goddess of fate is laughing, haha." Ivan said.
"This shotgun she gave me didn't work well for fate." Graves said as he adjusted his shotgun.
"But why are you pulling us up, if it weren't for you, I would be in Biltover right now." Trist asked dissatisfied.
"Naga Kapolos bless, I hope we can return safely," the old man prayed, but things didn't always work out as planned.
Not long after sailing into the black fog, he saw the deep-sea titan no tilles fighting with several sea beasts full of green eyes, and every time he anchored, he could knock the sea beasts dozens of meters away, and the sea beasts that flew over caused a splash like a cannonball.
"Quick, turn the rudder away from these monsters." The captain hurriedly gave the order, and the sailors hurriedly carried it out.
Several harpooners tacitly began to hunt the sea beast, and in a short time the sea beast was scarred, and with Graves' last shot, it sank to the bottom of the sea again and did not rush again.
