During the polar daylight season, the sun never sets the horizon.

The world alternates between bright and bleak over and over again, without a single minute of night.

At this time, the sun wheel fell again, touching the dark surface of the sea. The dark, icy ocean resembles a quiet sea monster.

The people on the Yamal looked back, and the polar day was swallowed up by the black tide. There was a strange hallucination in an instant: it was the last sunset of the century.

"The average temperature is -17°C, the air pressure is 940mm, and there are no signs of bad weather."

The propellers operated in reverse, and the Yamal's speed was reduced to near standstill. In the dark, empty world, echoes the overwhelmed roar of the propeller and the high-pitched whale song of the "Leviathan".

The corpses of the serpent and Xudra floated silently past the sides of the ship, dark red blood melting the ice floe and slowly sinking into the deep sea.

If it weren't for the sudden change in weather, what would have caused the unusual darkness in front of you......

"Norma, call the academy command center. Norma? ”

“...... The descendant function module is enabled, and some functions are limited in this mode. What can I do for you? ”

A sudden shiver spread from the passengers' spine to their limbs.

Until the serpent's corpse was discovered, no one noticed the growing darkness outside. Before they know it, they seem to have detached themselves from the real world.

Chu Zihang was as calm as ever, not revealing the extreme tension in his heart. Jörmungård had not noticed anything unusual before. In the depths of the darkness, what the hell is it?

Leviathan's singing voice was distant and close, but it was always at a distance from them.

As time passed, His singing became louder and more aggressive. But He never came close to the Yasal, as if they were at opposite ends of the mirror world.

"Combat teams, in teams of three, set up firing points on the deck. All weapons are allowed to be used, and all heavy weapons are ready to fire at any time.

The logistics team increased the amount of sedative medicine and distributed protective clothing to everyone. The personnel of the equipment department will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the current environment, including optical, acoustic, water and air testing. ”

The rocket launchers and portable bombs manufactured by the armament department, and all kinds of small objects that Luo Yin assembled for them, can be used even for most secondary generations. But for the anomaly in front of you...... The effect cannot be determined.

Drugs and protective clothing may play a greater role.

Caesar's communication with the Leviathan was interrupted when the last sickle returned. Under normal circumstances, his domain could expand to several kilometers in diameter, but at this time, the wind demon was trapped in a small space three or four meters long and wide.

The world is no longer quiet, but dead. The suppressed silence seemed to be slowly squeezing Caesar's throat.

The knife slipped out of Ange's cuffs, the blade tearing through the air, and the students' eyes could already catch the silver phantom of the knife. The effect of Time Zero has been cut to a tenth, perhaps less.

"Where are we? What did we encounter!? ”

"There's no signal, we're on a wrong route!"

Several commissioners tacitly walked up to the sailors who spoke out. Whatever they encountered, there must be no problems inside the Yamal.

These seafarers are willing to follow the academy team into the Arctic for a generous bounty of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now, they have to have a certain psychological expectation of what might happen next.

"Nooa, have you ever been in a situation like this on a ship before?"

"Nope. On the longest night of winter, there are still starry skies and aurora borealis. There are no such seas on this route. ”

"Protect your daughter."

The Yamal was lit up and all the lights were on, and people were shuttling up and down the deck, tense at the sight of dragons at any moment.

Unknown targets are capable of slaughtering Xudra and snakes in a short period of time, creating a vast area of anomalous water, distorting light and shielding signals......

The original crew of the Yamal gradually understood that these uninvited guests who seized the ship were all thugs who were one in a million. And the enemies that the thugs face are even more terrifying, contrary to reason and common sense.

Leviathan's singing was cyclically low, high-pitched, and weak, and after a brief pause, it came again from an unknown distance.

Caesar didn't understand his purpose, he just estimated that the cycle of the whale song was about 87 seconds. This means that everyone has spent almost ten minutes in suffocating silence. No enemies appeared.

The whole world seems to be their enemy. Chu Zihang felt that this was an illusion at first, but as time went by, he became more and more convinced. Every drop of water, every wisp of wind, every inch of the sky here is hostile to them.

"Can you open the exit?"

Past experience had taught him that playing away from home in the land of dragons was not a rational choice.

Chu Zihang communicated with the Dragon King in his mind through the imprint left by Yermungad. He had to put the lives of a boatload of people first, even if it was a shame for the secret party to ask the dragon king for help.

"I'm trying."

Jörmungad seemed more anxious than they were.

She is one of the dragons who know the Nibelungen best. The difficulty of entering most of the Dead Realms was no different for Jörmungård than going to the cafeteria to eat. But now this one is different.

It is like a living being with its own will. As she tried to pry open the gap, a gaze quickly aimed at her direction.

"When I open the crack, the owner of this place will discover me, and will most likely be aware of my identity."

What happened to them?

Chu Zihang took a deep breath and calmed down.

Leviathan is not like the maker of the Nibelungen. Is he trying to get into the Nibelungen, or is he trying to destroy it?

Odin? No, the medium through which He constructed the Nibelungen was the wind, accompanied by thunderstorms or auroras.

Could it be someone on board? Is it possible to be so perfectly camouflaged?

Secondly, what was the purpose of the attackers? Kill them all, stop them, or do you want someone on board?

Damn, there's so little intelligence.

Time goes on. The last shred of the sea was gone, and only pitch black remained, and the bright light of the ship was dizzying.

"Return the speed to 3 knots and follow the original route."

The string in many people's brains has been stretched to the limit. Action is needed.

The mountain-like Yamal is inexplicably small at this time. It is a lonely city, an island, a canoe, and even as small as a fallen leaf.

The dark ocean is empty, but it doesn't feel clean, and the invisible filth is growing in the water.

Eight hours passed, and the sun did not rise. They sailed to seas where humans had never set foot before.

24 hours passed, and the sun did not rise. The Yamal turned off half of the lights, and the commissioners stayed next to the firing point and began their shifts to rest.

Thirty-six hours passed, and the sun did not rise. The Yamal resumed "normal sailing".

......

"If it weren't for the whale's song, I wouldn't even know if I was still alive."

When Lu Mingfei passed by the cabin, the casual sigh of the crew made his heart tighten.

The long night has lasted for three days, and they have also lost contact with the outside world for three days. Everyone is trapped in this dark sea.

"Lu Mingze! Little devil! Dead profiteers! ”

Lu Mingfei felt a little chill in his heart. As his muscles became stronger and stronger, he became more and more repulsed by "exchange", and the time he spent seeing the little devil continued to shrink.

However, if even the devil can't answer his call, it means that this time the problem is really big. It is likely that all of them will die.

"Your uncle's Lu Mingze! It's open, it's business! My lovely brother ......"

[You heard it the first time you shouted.] The signal is too poor and there is a delay. 】

Buzzing. The little devil turned out to be in contact with him through his mobile phone.

[What's going on now?] 】

[Dead. 】

Lu Zai's hands shook.

[Everyone's death, except for you, brother. 】

[You want to keep my cheap life? Who exactly is it? 】

[You'll understand as soon as we meet.] 】

This time Lu Mingze didn't come out to pose, if it wasn't because the devil was critically ill, it would mean that it would be difficult for him to sneak here.

[1/4, how far can you go?] 】

Lu Mingfei decided to get straight to the point. Anyway, he didn't exchange it for the last time.

Speaking of which, Senior Brother Luo ran to fight wits and courage with the Dark Monarch, probably because he felt that the difficulty of wandering in the Arctic Ocean was relatively low. The world is unpredictable.

Five seconds passed, but the little devil did not reply, and Lu Zai became more and more panicked. The reply won't be "This product is no longer available".

Network latency. 1/4, take this boat out.

Brother, friendly reminder, this deal is far more important than you think. Please be sure to place your order with due consideration. 】

The little devil's avatar has turned gray, is the signal really that bad?

Is the third transaction significant? Half? Lu Mingfei was not sure, and his intuition warned him that there might really be extremely serious consequences.

He looked out the window at the dark sea and suddenly felt like vomiting.

......

"Eleven people had severe tinnitus symptoms, four had strong hallucinations, one person began to fear the sea, and almost all of them had vertigo or nausea."

Masashi Toyama whispered. Ange put down his glass, a tiredness in his eyes that could not be concealed.

Those who showed severe symptoms were the original crew members of the YAMAL. The reason why their symptoms were diagnosed by Masashi Toyama is that they are psychological or neurological.

They had never faced such an enemy. The other party seems to want to torture them more than directly put them to death, and there are few similar cases to refer to in the Dragon Clan incident.

"Headmaster, the young people are doing a great job, and even the ministers can't do better. They are very tenacious. ”

Angers knows that this is not an exaggeration. Unknown horrors are more difficult to deal with than the Dragon King.

And their will is as strong as the original Lionhearts, as tenacious as the dragon slayers who have gone down in history. Even if they continued to sail this dark sea for a week or a month, they would still be able to draw their swords and slash at the enemies that appeared. Gu Xuan

But no one knows how long they will be trapped. There is still a lot of fuel left in the nuclear reactors, and there are also plenty of reserves of food and water, but human reason is very limited.

"Headmaster, why are you involved in this mission?"

Angers is rarely on the front lines these days. The principal did not stay at the headquarters to preside over the overall situation, and handed over the task to the young people, and Masashi Toyama could not read the thoughts of the old people.

"This isn't the first time the Academy has faced dragons in the North Pole.

Ten years ago, I was in the command hall, arguing with the school board. Suddenly the cries for help from the students echoed from the front, and the halls echoed with sirens and Schneider's roars.

And I could only sit there. Even if I pull out my knife and hold those old guys hostage, even if I am a hundred times faster, I will not be able to save my students. ”

Masashi Toyama couldn't tell whether Ange's eyes were fire or frost, which made people feel like a thorn in his back.

"What happened ten years ago will not be repeated."

"Definitely not."

————————————

"No one is born cursed, we're just a little special.

It's dark outside for a while, and when the sun rises, we'll get out of here. ”

Erika wears a down jacket and takes the Inuit maiden's hand for a walk on the deck.

Xue's mental state has not been very stable these days. She felt that "God" had come for her, and that her ominous power had implicated her father and the ship.

"Xue, do you have a brother?"

Eri speaks slowly. Norma's real-time translation was a bit sluggish after the internet connection was interrupted.

Snow shook her head slightly.

"People call him 'Amaterasu,' and he is destined to be like the sun.

My brother, he does burn like the sun, warm like the sun. But Amaterasu is just a delusion.

The elder brother yearns for the sun, and it is he who chooses a glorious destiny. ”

His father, on the other hand, is more than happy to be a happy ramen chef.

The life of the moon reading, or the life of Susano's man, is no longer a problem for Eri. As long as she wants, she can inherit Amaterasu.

"I choose my life."

For as long as Xue can remember, there have always been inexplicably dead animals around her, dying quietly. Seabirds, big fish, reindeer, sled dogs.

The villagers had seen such an ominous scene once, and naturally thought that she was carrying a curse. My father was also ostracized, but he was not expelled because of his feelings.

Snow is often afraid, and her father will suddenly die by her side one day. She didn't know who or where her former family was, maybe they abandoned her out of fear, or maybe they were dead.

It wasn't until Eri's appearance that she knew for the first time that the "curse" was controllable, and she wasn't the only "cursed".

"Kassel is a school. We'll leave here together after sunrise and your father will send you to school in Kassel.

Well, the two brothers are from China and Italy, the principal is British, and Imani is from Egypt, and she is the youngest besides you. It won't be difficult. ”

"Hmm."

The Inuit girl whispered in response.

Woo————

Woo————

The crew thought it was Leviathan's song again, but the roar continued to grow more and more majestic.

The roar was like the power of the tide, low and solemn as the ringing of an ancient bell, as if to release a thousand years of pain, loneliness and anger.

Dragon!

It's a long way off, but it's definitely a dragon's roar!

The roar echoed through the sky and the sea, and in the minds of all half-bloods.

Countless chaotic lines and patterns poured into the students' brains at the same time, and the blurry and strange images continued to split and change.

The high-level half-breeds were not spared, and everyone knelt on the ground in pain, their hands trembling as they took out the psychotropic medicine they were carrying and swallowed it directly.

Natsumi/Jörmungad cooperated in feigning pain, but her nervous green expression was 100% real.

"Run! I can open a small gap, and I can get out as much as I can! ”

But she couldn't break her face-paralyzed hand, and the guy was as tough as a bison.

"It's good to be able to open it, at least there's a way out."

But not his retreat. Xia Mi looked at the pair of black eyes without ripples, and was a little anxious for a while.

When Chu used this kind of look, he could only change his actions by knocking him out.

"What exactly is our enemy?"

Lord Ye took a deep breath to calm his mood and said softly, "Listen carefully and separate the dragon text in it." ”

Chu Zihang tried not to resist the roar and realized the regularity of it.

"Praise be to the awakening of my king......"

"Praise be to the awakening of my king, and the destruction of ...... That is, a new life. ”

Every student in Kassel has heard this dragon text. The spirit of the word that symbolizes Niderhogg's rule, "The Emperor".

That dragon, maybe it has something to do with the Black King.

......

In the boundless darkness of the sea, the Yamal crushed the ice and cut through the water in the direction of the dragon's roar.

All crew members wore soundproof earplugs and coordinated through flags and gestures. However, the earplugs did not completely block the mental effects, and the crew was still disturbed by hallucinations from time to time.

Not only the sound, but also the magnetic field and light in this area are abnormal. Dragons can exert psychic influences through carriers such as sounds, movements, images, etc.

"Praise be to the awakening of my king, and praise ...... my king"

One of the commissioners muttered a dragon whisper, unaware of it.

There are constantly people who fall under the influence of the Emperor of the Spirits and cannot help but whisper the praises of the Black King. He even laid down his arms and half-knelt on the ground in a gesture of worship.

Ange patrolled back and forth on the deck, knocking out the hallucinating commissioner and leaving it to Masashi Toyama. The stockpiled sedative medication has shown signs of running out of supply for a short period of time, and only anesthetics can be used.

Three full hours had passed, and they had yet to find the source of the dragon's roar, and the combat team had been reduced by a third.

Thankfully, sailors without dragon blood were not significantly affected. But it has also been terrified to the extreme, and it may collapse at any time.

From the moment the dragon's roar appeared, Nono fell into an indescribably intense fear. She felt as if she was in a 10,000-meter deep sea with no light and no sound, the sea seeping into her heart and lungs, and something like a god or devil floating quietly in the deep sea, staring at her from behind.

Nono ran away from the boat in a panic, but he didn't know where to hide.

"The ship is alive! It has breathing, it has the sound of a heartbeat! ”

Ange hesitated for a moment, not immediately knocking out Nono. Chen Motong is a student with special talents, and she may have really seen something.

Caesar drew his hunting knife, Dick Tydo, stepped to the side of the ship in two steps, and swung his knife at the black outer wall of the ship.

Metal collided, but instead of sparks, blood splattered.

Caesar felt a chill, and the touch of the hunting knife was like slashing taut cowhide.

"Eriyi, Chu Zihang, Imani! Those who do not have protective suits leave the deck immediately! ”

The crew couldn't hear him, and could only tell by the shape of their mouths.

Caesar approached Rebalco, who had been in charge of the Yasal's security, and asked if there was any fuel on the ship, and asked Rybalko to take someone to get it.

Judgment, Jun Yan, and Indra erupted almost simultaneously, but the power of the spirit was suppressed, and it could only cover a small area on the outside of the ship.

The black sharkskin-like thing carbonized and shattered in the field, revealing the vessel-like structure underneath and the severely corroded steel walls of the ship.

I don't know when the black hull of the Yamal has been attached to superfungi or flesh parasites. They multiplied silently on the surface of the steel, slowly enveloping the entire ship.

If Nono hadn't found out in time, and the outer layer of the Yamal's hull was ridiculously thick, maybe the ship had been eaten by this.

Chu Zihang waved his hand and ordered, throwing the dragon breath bottle. The inherent realm of alchemical creation will be weakened less than the spirit of words.

Dozens of brass canisters were activated by dragon blood, crashing into the outer walls, triggering traps and exploding into a ball of fire. The inside of the dragon breath bottle was filled with mercury, sulfur, and nitroglycerin, unleashing a devastating blow on the strange flesh.

Parasites in individual areas, which have formed a tight structure like dragon scales, but eventually die and flake off in the constant high temperature of the fuel.

The Yamal's outer structure had aged for almost thirty years, resembling a giant shark covered in scars. The icebreaker continues in the direction of the dragon's roar, rushing towards the throne of gods or demons.

They will surely see the next sunrise. Certain.

The Yamal, which was sailing at full speed, left two huge icebergs behind. In the darkness, the edges and lines of the iceberg are so heavy and oppressive.

Chu Zihang realized that those two icebergs were the gates on the ice sea.

They finally wandered to the end of the long night, to the realm of the gods.

At the end of the sea, a dense reef cluster can be seen.

Huge waves rise in silence, ice seas sink, and stone islands rise into mountains.

The sharp reef clumps stretched out and turned into bone spurs on the back. Obsidian-like crystals are stacked to form a structure shaped like fish scales. The grayish-white cliffs resemble rotten and dried thick bones, and the surface is densely covered with freshly frozen ice edges.

Dead black peaks lay in front of the Yamal, and the twelve-story hull was not even half as tall as the Black Mountain.

Knock knock!

A thunderous heartbeat stirred up waves and the sea burned in a molten golden sunrise.
