163 - Calling for help
Wiel hugged Pease, his hands struggling to hold his wound, but blood continued to seep out of the bandages.
Pease ...... Pease! Wake up, hold on......" Will looked up and saw that there was darkness and an endless and narrow emptiness, "Pease ...... Pease, hold on, do you hear me? You're going to be fine......"
Wiel's hand pressed hard against Pease's wound, "The bleeding must stop...... Hemostasis...... What to do? ”
Vere's eyes looked at the wand bracelet on the wrist on which he had pressed the Pease wound, and for a moment, Ver froze.
Weir knew that if things could not be done with the decision of the strong man to break his wrist, Pease's life would never be saved.
That's right, without medical means and healing magic, Veir has only one measure to stop the bleeding.
It was to use the ice wand in his hand to cast a cold magic to freeze Pease's wounds!
Do! Or not freezing?!
Wiel's blood-stained hand gripped the shape-shifting ice wand, ripples of ice crystals condensing on the sharp stone at the top of the wand.
Ver didn't expect that the first time he used the wand he had just gotten was aimed at Pease.
He can only bet!
Bet yourself on melting the ice that froze Pease's wounds...... Or Pease's faint breathing before it stopped.
I was able to meet Boris myself.
But on both sides of the wooden bridge behind Will, in the depths of the canyon bottom, the hope of meeting Boris for a short time was as faint as the morning sun that he had seen here.
The ice crystals of magic enveloped Pease's chest like a mist of water, and Pease's originally red face turned pale, and a profuse sweat broke out on his head.
But temporarily.
Pease's wounds were no longer bleeding and were frozen in ice.
How did they get in? Why did it fall from above? Who injured them? …… Vere had a lot of questions, but the magic ice cubes frozen in Pease's chest and Pease's unconscious state made Vere's original idea of exploration uncared for being trapped underground all out of his mind, and Ver only had one word in his heart.
Fast!
Get out of this place quickly!
Hurry up and find Boresi!
Hurry up and get your bag!
Heal Pease's wound quickly!
Vere knew, knowing that if he could get his parcel and use the 'honey ointment' on Pease's body, and with the help of Boreth, Pease would be saved.
But now, with Pease on his back, Wille running into the passageway, Ollie huddled in the backpack he carried back to his chest.
With a torch in hand, he ran towards the hole on the other side of the wooden bridge.
Knock knock knock! Poof!
Stepping over the planks of the wooden bridge, the firelight rushed into the black cavern on the other side.
——
The Fishman Elder smiled strangely, and the pitch-black power gradually poured out from the body that occupied the Fishman Elder, making the entire cave pitch black, and the light emitted by Boris began to flicker.
The entire cave was gradually shrouded in pitch black, and then, three huge eyes lit up in the dark, and an octopus-like, triangular head with white hair appeared behind the eyes, and underneath the skull was a pitch-black, indiscernible number of tentacles.
"Kraken!" Hierro's voice of gritting teeth came from the other side, and the scimitar made a trembling sound, and without Boreth's block, his anger was completely aroused by the kraken that appeared in front of him. Anger rushed into his mind along with the memory, and Hierro couldn't control the urge to kill the monster in front of him.
"I'm going to avenge the crew!" Hierro slashed his scimitar and took a sharp step forward, slashing at the Siren who had taken over the body of the Fish-Man Elder.
The kraken didn't move, only ding! When! With a thud, the front half of Hierro's long knife flew into the air, fell to the staircase behind the strangely shaped round arch behind him, flicked twice, and fell off the broken staircase.
"Hmm! Yes! Hierro staggered backwards a few steps, and was thrust to the ground by a tremendous force, and his back slammed into the round arch, shaking the dust off it.
The shark-man who suddenly appeared out of the darkness retracted the steel fork and disappeared behind the Kraken.
The three eyes were aimed to the side, and the Kraken, which occupied the body of the Fish-Man Elder, let out a giggle laugh, "Giggle...... Don't get Captain Hierro excited, this is not a sea ...... Giggles. Captain...... When you and I were in our prime, I destroyed your fleet. A few tentacles rested on his mouth, and the three eyes showed a sly gaze, "And look at you now...... In the last years of the wind and candles, if it weren't for the enchantment of that time, I'm afraid you wouldn't have appeared here at all. And I'm about to regain all my strength. ”
"Hah...... Ah~" The wheezing Bo Ruisi looked in pain, "I didn't expect it...... I was deceived by you......"
"Don't say that, High Priest. We're just taking what we need......"
"You, what is your purpose? ……”
"Me? Very simple...... I just want to go back to the sea, such a small wish, I have been waiting for countless years...... High priest, you can help me......" It said very frankly.
"Help? ......" Boris looked up at the Kraken that had taken over the body of the Fishman Elder. "Dreaming!"
The Kraken, who had occupied the body of the Fish-Man Elder, said unconcernedly, "Actually...... I would also like to thank both. ”
Hierro stood slightly beside Boreth, confronting the shark-man who seemed to have just experienced a fierce battle, and the two stared at the kraken who had occupied the body of the fish-man elder and said that he wanted to thank them.
"You see, you all know that there are three demons on this island." The kraken, who occupied the body of the Elder Fishman, was not in a hurry to attack the two who were in a trap, but asked the Fishman behind him to stop, and slowly explained in front of the two of them, with a relaxed tone.
"Me, the mother shark, and the mirelurk." There was a sly look in the three eyes. "I've been thinking about their power for a long time...... If it weren't for the two of you helping me defeat them and sand to death, how could I take their power for myself, so that I have the power to cling to this old fish-man and control so many fish-men? ”
And all of this is thanks to the two of you...... Ah, of course, and Mr. Weir. "These words made the Kraken speak in the voice of the Elder Fishman, which seemed particularly awkward and sarcastic." …… Of course, don't mind the two of you, I really say this from the heart...... You see, it's really not a very difficult thing to help me. ”
"I already have the power to remanifest my form...... "With your strength...... Ha...... Why not get your hands dirty? ”
"I told the High Priest that I want to go back to the sea...... Do you understand? ”
"Huh...... Hah......" Boreth glanced at Captain Hierro, who was sitting next to him with his arm clutched, and stretched his hand into the air, and a golden key was taken out by Boreth. "It's the seal of this underground tower...... You're not completely out of it...... Is that right? ”
"That's right, High Priestess, it's easy for me to ask you for help...... All you have to do is open the seal with a key. The three eyes of the Siren glanced at the key in Boreth's hand, "Of course, I can't get close to it myself...... So, I had to ask the high priest to do me a favor. ”
Boris suddenly smiled, "What if I don't help?" ”
"No, no, no, not a priest, you will...... Because if you don't agree, I'm going to kill you and ...... When I found Mr. Weel, he was so helpful, and I guess he would do me a favor as an elder of the Fishmen...... Of course, I don't want to make the relationship so stiff, if you can help directly, maybe I will be happy and forget about you when I return to the sea? Giggle...... Oh yes, Mr. Weir should be sleeping soundly down there now, right? ”
"Huh...... Did you really get Wiel? A smile tugged at the corner of Boreth's mouth, "Well, do you agree?" The Kraken's tentacles stretched out from the darkness around them to the two people on the ground, and the power of the pitch black slowly condensed on them.
"Originally, I thought that the truth I knew had changed after what they had done...... I didn't expect ......" Bo Ruisi's expression suddenly became serious, and a pure white light appeared in his eyes, where was there a trace of poisoning?
"Gurgle!" The three eyes of the kraken twisted, "It's not good, this star spirit is not poisoned!" She's pretending! ”
"Demons are still demons after all!" Boris quickly got up on one knee, and countless starlights burst out from Boris's body. Countless tentacles, black light collided with white light.
The eruption blew a strong wind, and the Kraken placed some tentacles in front of his eyes, and in the darkness around him, the shark-people rushed out, followed by many fish-men.
In the burst of light, a steel fork stabbed into where Boris was crouching, blood flowed from the corners of the shark man's eyes, and some fragments of light struck its body, piercing several small holes.
"This power...... Wrong! The Kraken slammed the tentacle that was protecting him at the place where Hierro and Boris were, and with two booms, the stones of the platform in that place shattered and fell into the black hole below.
However, only the stone platform was damaged, and the wicker-like stone door was not damaged at all, but the tentacles that hit it turned into black smoke and dissipated.
"Ran away?! Ji!!! Run! The Kraken's tentacles slammed against the cave wall beside him, and his three eyes narrowed, emitting a murderous light, and he saw a flash of light under the black cavern.
"Give me chase!"
Many tentacles stretched out behind the fishmen, sticking to the cave wall, and the fishmen were like 'Spider-Man', using the Kraken's tentacles to climb down from the cave wall.
