Chapter 10 [Door]
Faced with the Fog of Death, capable of killing any life, the soul beast was no longer greedy for the temptation of the Crimson Flesh.
Finally.
The terrifying tentacle exited the cabin and retracted it.
"Hey! I know how powerful you are! ”
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Helo breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not over yet! After waiting for the body to regain its mobility and escape from the ship, there are still many fish-people hiding in the shadows of residential areas in the harbor.
Observing the appearance of the fish-people, it seems that they will lose most of their minds after being completely mutated, have no subjective consciousness, and without the command of their aunt, they will only devour anyone outside of their own kind.
It's not easy to slip out of the harbor through the crowd of fish..."
Helo tried to focus his consciousness on the most severely injured part of his feet, with a fractured tibia in his left leg and a comminuted fracture in his right foot.
With the control of consciousness.
The shreds on the right chest arm stopped wriggling and repaired, and the shredds in these two places sped up the repair.
Escape before the undead in the [Deep Sea Sacrifice] arrive!
Striving for every minute and every second of this time is an ordeal.
Before he knew it, the temperature of the cabin dropped rapidly, and Helo felt a cold hand and foot, and he opened his mouth, but he could no longer control his tongue to speak clearly.
He laboriously came out of his throat a few words, and when they reached his mouth, they turned into meaningless hoarse shouts.
The wind and rain that blew in through the hatch of the ship swallowed his voice.
Are the undead coming so quickly? Even the temperature of this piece is close to that of the far north.
Helo's mind grew chaotic, and the sharp cold ripped out of his body like a sharp knife, tearing life out of his body and tearing it to pieces.
'Oh no, I didn't expect the Formation Blood Food to be so attractive to the [Deep Sea Sacrifice], this also came too quickly! ’
Suddenly, the boat beneath Herro shook up and down like a roller coaster.
Turning his head, he saw the scene outside through the gaping cracks in the cabin wall.
I don't know when the heavy rain has stopped, and a large gray fog is getting closer, and in the bright moonlight, it is a huge octopus that stands in the way between the ship and the fog!
Eight tentacles that run through the sea and sky dance wildly.
The tentacles danced wildly, creating a chaotic force field in this sea area, and a force field was generated near each tentacle, stirring up deep sea vortices to block the progress of the mist.
"Is that the soul beast? He didn't leave! Still buying me time! ”
Now it seems that the tentacles that have just reached into the cabin are only the most slender part of the top.
Helo looked at this shocking sight and was dumbfounded, the shaking just now was also caused by creating a whirlpool?
The weight of the seawater attracted by the huge volume of the octopus soul beast can be calculated in 10,000 tons, and it is precisely because of the surging water curtain stirred up by the whirlpool that blocks the pace of harvesting the vitality of the undead mist, and the two sides even fight back and forth.
There was time for the soul beast to buy, and Helo, who had not fully recovered his mobility, propped himself up and staggered out of the cabin and climbed to the position on the deck.
"No wonder... If this soul beast doesn't run, it turns out that there is nowhere to run at all..."
The abandoned fleet of boats underfoot is grouped together by the harbor fishermen into a concave wharf.
The location is relatively remote, away from the front of the coastline where the port is transported, and there are some extremely hard reefs here and right.
So much so that the fog surrounds it, presenting an illusion of three circumferences and one.
Helo can escape by land, how can this incomparably large soul beast escape?
This is offshore, and even if it tries to drill down, it can't get in.
I heard the apprentice of the sorcerer say that it rises to the shore on the tide of the inshore sea, and if the tide does not recede, it does not have any external force to help it dive into the deep sea.
In other words... It's just that it's stranded!
"I said, I played to death before, and now I'm helping me again, in vain this feeling, goodbye to you!"
Just as Helo was about to jump from the boat to the shore.
A hand suddenly grabbed his raincoat from behind, and the tendency to jump into the air came to an abrupt end.
"Karma? Who!? ”
Helo struggled to twist with the help of his waist, and the sudden appearance of a hand at this critical moment frightened him, and in a thousandth of a second he even thought that the old witch had come back from the dead to settle accounts with him.
And when he turned his head, he saw the unexpected person, the sixth child who had been hiding outside the plot!
"Baron Mena?"
You didn't participate in the whole plot line at all, and you jumped out at this time?
Mena still had that cynical smile.
"Have fun? You almost delayed my good work, kid~"
Helo was very indignant: "You call this a joke? Do you know that I'm dying, I'm just one line away from real death! ”
"But you're still alive, and you're dancing happily just now, with an irrepressible smile on your lips, and my piercing rune is any good?"
“.....”
"The nails?"
Although he didn't want to admit it, it was true that without those iron nails, he would have died under the old witch's fins.
"Iron nails? Hehe, you are so ignorant! Also... After all, living in such a remote place, even a sorcerer's apprentice has never been born, and you will understand it when you come into contact with the Holy Land Tower. ”
As if dissatisfied with Helo's blurted out, Mena didn't continue to talk to him, the Q&A just now was more like sharing the fun of an afternoon game with the kid next door.
Mena placed Helo on the deck and turned to walk into the cabin himself.
"Hey, what are you going down to do again, the [Deep Sea Sacrifice] has already come, that soul beast can't hold on for long, and when it is exhausted, this place will be devoured!"
Just as Heloh was considering whether he should leave him alone and run away, Mena's characteristic joking tone came out from below:
"The outside is already surrounded by fishmen, just because you activated the formation and let them sense the breath of [Deep Sea Retaliation], the hidden fishmen under the entire harbor are rushing here, if you go out at this time, for them, you are a reward for sacrifices."
"Reward?"
Fuck you, just out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's mouth.
Mena's personality is as bad as ever.
He has no fear, and there must be a way.
In desperation, Helo could only succumb to Mena's obscenity and walk into the place where he had just experienced life and death.
"You know, if it weren't for yours, my plan might not have been as successful."
"Because the formation was activated?"
Hero immediately understood Mena's words, if it weren't for the formation, he would definitely not appear here, and only the [Deep Sea Sacrifice] had such an attraction, which could make him choose not to go far to seek help from the empire and return here again alone.
Mena seemed to think that Helo should not react so quickly, and the smile on his face froze, although it was not obvious, but it was still discovered by Helo.
"As much as I like you, there is always a sense of frustration among smart children, you should learn to hide yourself, there are not so many people in the Holy Tower as kind as me.
This time the confrontation against the Deep Sea Revenge is the Tower's semester mission, but the Empire also wants to take this opportunity to sweep away the citizens who have thrown themselves into the bosom of the deep sea.
Don't blame me for not saving you before, the Empire's orders take precedence, and I need to start the rituals left over from the Great Expedition era. ”
Mena patiently explained to Herlo.
He could sense and apologize for Helo's previous crazy act of injecting soul energy into the piercing rune, but there was no way to do it, after all, he was not a soul magician of the [Moon Tower], and he wouldn't be able to juggle those clones.
"And now?"
"The ritual has been activated, and it only needs to be charged to destroy the [Deep Sea Retaliation], and I am here to activate the energy of the ritual track."
"Energy?"
The only thing that can be qualified to be called an energy source on this abandoned ship should be... Flesh Cocoon!
Mena walked over to the flesh cocoon and placed her hands on it.
Visible to the naked eye of the soul power fluctuations, Mena released the soul power output to the limit, and countless silver-white silk threads exploded out of his hands in the form of light one by one, frantically pouring into the cocoon.
With a sound like an eggshell shattering, a scarlet liquid flowed from the cracks in the cocoon.
Mena pulled out a camera-like brass object from his bosom and pointed one of them at the shattered cocoon, his mouth still introducing it, as if recording.
"Alright, that's the end of the incident!"
Mena, who had done everything, walked over to Helo.
"It's time to go, what you doubt, I'll explain to you when I get to a safe place."
Mena took Hlo's hand and threw a black chess piece from his sleeve to the ground.
Helo's sharp eyes saw the appearance of the chess piece clearly.
Soldiers in chess!
The black pieces hit the ground to form a target-like anchor point.
"This is called [Gate], a legendary Grand Duke rank magician in the Northern Regions, this is made through his soul circuit, the market price is expensive, but it is also the mainstream way for imperial magicians to go out now. After all, there are still many sorcerers who can't fly..."
As if thinking of something, Mena laughed.
As the liquid in the cocoons behind them drained, Mena led Herro to the glowing anchor.
And at this moment, the roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth suddenly exploded in Helo's ears.
Outside the cabin, the eight tentacles of the octopus soul beast began to sweep and spin in a rage.
The tornado rises and rises...
Helo sensed a frenzied alert popping up from the system.
The number of Soul Crumbs on the module system is skyrocketing.
【+666】
【+888】
【+2048】
...
'The soul power released by soul beasts can also produce soul crumbs? ’
With a wail, the soul beast that had resisted countless undead collapsed with a bang.
And just as the anchor light of the [door] covered Helo's body, an icy ball flew in from outside the broken hole in the cabin.
At the last moment of the [door] teleportation, it happened to fall into Helo's arms...
