Chapter 173: The Abyss of Trance

In a sense, the sailors of Heartless Bay, including Captain Havedan, made the mistake that the green tide that appeared in the morning light was not the dead tide they were familiar with. As a gathering of the dead floating in the sea, the appearance of dead crowds is often accompanied by fog and dim weather, and there is absolutely no possibility of appearing at dawn. But there is one thing they guessed correctly, and that is that this green tide is very dangerous. Because although there are not so many souls lost in the waves in this tide, it is indeed wrapped in an ancient and powerful will, the will of the Thunder Giant. However, no one, including Hela at this time, knew what they were up against.

"Prepare for the onslaught, the waves are coming! Blow into the sea and no one will catch you!" said the captain, crouching down and resting his shoulders against the rudder. Two seconds later, the waves that jumped from the bow to the deck roared and crashed against every crew member. Fortunately, Halfdan's reminder was timely, and the sailors on the Black Arrow were quite familiar with their ship, and there were no more casualties except for the loss of the upper part of the bow image at the bow of the ship after the waves.

"Captain, there's a maelstrom ahead!" the sailor, in the lookout at the top of the mainsail, threw away his limbs hugging the mast, squinting his eyes against the reflection on the sea. In his line of sight, the whirlpool on the water in front of him was like the giant jaw of a monster, greedily devouring everything that was caught in it. Even if it is as strong as the Black Arrow, once it is captured by the vortex, there is no reason to escape.

"How big is the whirlpool?" Hafdan shook his beard and wiped the sea water off his face with the huge wave just now. He asked the lookout loudly, the turbulent current around him making it impossible for him to make out the water in front of the boat. At this time, Hafdan was glad that he had not been greedy for cheap and save the watchtower when he ordered the ship.

"Sir, I can't see the head! I can't see the other side of the whirlpool! it's too big!" came back from above with a frightened shout, making the captain habitually pout.

"Fill the rudder, let the hull turn sideways, we can't be dragged in by that thing!" the captain didn't hesitate to judge, he had never seen such a large vortex before, but smaller eddies often appeared in reef-strewn waters, and Hafdan was skilled enough to deal with them. At his command, the sails on the hull began to turn with the sound of the hinges grinding heavily, which was not an easy task, and the huge vortex seemed to swallow even the air together, and the wind pushed the Black Arrow from behind to the center of the vortex.

The sailors pushing the hinges gritted their teeth, the soles of their shoes slipping easily on the wet deck, and at such times, if one person did not exert his strength, the course of the whole ship could change catastrophically. The grim situation was so dire that none of the crew members of the Black Arrow noticed a few black dots flashing in the waves not far from them.

Hela notices the Black Arrow, but she has no intention of going up to ask for help. The reason is simple, she has no room for help. God knows what the hell has summoned from the bottom of the sea, and after living for so long, the Grave Girl has never encountered such a situation in front of her. This soul was too powerful, and if it weren't for the fact that he didn't resist his control at all, Hela wouldn't have been able to control such a terrifying existence. It feels like an ant lying on a lion's mane, manipulating the lion's direction with its tiny antennae.

Fortunately, so far the lion was still lazy, dragging the sea with his huge body, holding the three witches on the surface of the water and heading towards the beach. Hela didn't know what would happen when the spirit arrived on the beach, maybe he would just leave, maybe he would dissipate on the spot and return to the sea with the tide, or maybe he would continue to go ashore and destroy the entire city. The Grave Girl was riding on a broomstick, her body was aging, and the roses she carried with her had run out, and now she had no control over the spirit beneath her, so she could only let it follow the original instructions. Now Hela only hopes that the rest of the witch group can react before she causes irreparable consequences.

Her hopes were not disappointed, and it can even be said that she received a fierce response. When Green Tide was about five kilometers away from the beach of Heartless Bay, a large number of ravens flew in from the direction of Heartless Bay. The raven in the lead of them had a glint of wisdom in his eyes that birds should not have. "Quack!" the leading raven cried, and immediately some of its kind behind it lowered its altitude, and the black-feathered birds grabbed the three witches in the water with their claws and carried them out of the water with incredible force.

With a look of relief on her face when she saw her companions saved, her consciousness sank into the darkness and she fell from the air along with her broom. But this time, instead of going up to pull the Grave Girl up, they hovered in the air, watching Hela fall below the surface of the water, into the green tide. There's no way around it, it's the Grave Maiden's ability to summon this powerful soul, and if Hela doesn't dismiss it herself, I'm afraid no one can really stop it.

The sea breeze blows the raven's feathers, like black waves reflecting their light in the morning light. The raven hovered in the air, looking down at the waters below, waiting for an outcome. The green water, ripples from where Hella fell, not on the surface of the water, but in the sea, rippling in a circle of blue and green, like a giant frightened octopus warning its enemies.

Will it work? No one knows, just as Hela herself didn't expect her to be so terrible. Those ripples gradually spread, eventually covering the entire green sea. However, just as the gaps between these ripples became denser and denser, as if the green mass could be dispersed at any moment, the periphery of the green border suddenly became apparent. Those green areas shrink inward, forcing the blue ripples back to the center point. Hela's body also rises above the water. There was no emotion in the raven's eyes, either because the bird's eyes were not able to express the complex emotions of the human eye, or because the person who pretended to be these eyes was not too surprised.

But at this time, something even more strange and unexpected happened. The crew of the Black Arrow were the first to discover this, and as experienced sailors, especially those who knew the waters around the entire Bay of Lost Heart, they were surprised to find that at some point, the waters below them seemed to become extremely deep water. Through the blue ripples released by the witch, it can be seen that the water below is no longer the original color, but an ominous color that can only be seen above the abyss, almost black.

Then, as if something huge in the deep water took a sharp breath, the dark green floating in the sea water was sucked in by the whale and quickly disappeared into the darkness. It all happened so fast that the sailors had time to exclaim, and the waters around them had returned to normal, and of course, the maelstrom ahead had not changed in any way.
