As Gami could see the darkness, he immediately took control of the seismic cannon below and took aim.

However, before he could launch it, the monster seemed to notice the danger coming, and the huge monster body sank directly to the bottom of the water.

Seeing this scene, Gami couldn't help but curse loudly: "He sank to the bottom of the sea!" Damn monsters, it's really cunning. ”

However, the others simply couldn't see the scene in the darkness, and they couldn't help much.

It should be night outside, and even if the dark clouds above suddenly thin, they won't be able to cast sunlight in.

At this time, Arka suddenly reacted, and hurriedly dismantled the lanterns around him, took out the lighting stones inside, and came out and took out a few stored lighting stones from his ring.

Stack them together.

Four cards immediately appeared in his hand, and he threw them on the deck, and the cards emitted a transparent light.

Four tall mirrors emerge.

The shape of the mirrors is controlled by Alka, who assembles the mirrors together, refracts the light, and stacks them around the illuminating stones.

The light is gathered and refracted to form a searchlight that hits the surface of the sea.

In an instant, a bright light appeared in the dark night, illuminating everyone.

The searchlight beam locked onto the tentacles peeking out of the sea.

With the bonus of this beam, everyone was finally able to play their respective roles.

Two more slender tentacles flung up.

Several silk threads condensed and catapulted past and wrapped around the two tentacles.

Andre jumped violently, his right fist condensed with blue light, and then slammed into one of the tentacles.

Flesh flew sideways, and the location where it was hit was directly broken, and the entire tentacle fell.

Xia Daiti also swept a whip leg on the other tentacle.

The fluorescent glow on the whip leg slashed like a blade, severing the tentacles.

Cloudy blood spurted out.

The two tentacles used to attack between the faces were directly broken, and the severed tentacles were dragged to the deck by Vanessa with silk threads.

"Woohoo!"

The monster was in pain, and the pain was so intense that it screamed out of part of its body.

Seizing this opportunity, Gami immediately opened fire, and several shells were fired fiercely, smashing into the sea.

The splash enveloped the monster, and when it fell, the sea was bloody.

Xia Daiti immediately reached out and pressed it to the side of the boat, and a faint wave of magic power swept down.

He turned his head and shook his head.

The monster did not die, but it had already sunk to the bottom of the sea and fled.

All that was left was two slender tentacles that fell on the deck, still twitching slowly.

"This is the sea monster?" Arka looked at the two tentacles and couldn't help but say.

Andrei nodded, looked at the two tentacles and said, "This should be a cub of a sea monster." ”

"Is this still a cub?"

Arka couldn't help but say in surprise.

This tentacle is not a whole one, but only splits from the middle. And then in this way, a tentacle was at least half as thick as Arka and an astonishing four or five meters in length.

And that's just the part where you reach out and attack.

The overall tentacle length is at least 10 meters or more, and such a huge squid sea monster is actually just a cub.

How exaggerated is that adulthood, I guess I can't just smash a sailboat to pieces with two random blows.

"No way, it's actually very rare to encounter a sea monster attacking a ship in the open sea, but in the dark region, due to the large number of sea monsters, it is not strange to encounter such a thing."

As the two spoke, Gami drove his machine to the tentacles that were still twitching.

A steel tentacle sticks out and appears to be inspecting the broken tentacle.

"Unlike the sea monsters in the outer seas, these sea monsters are inedible and can only be used as various spell-related materials."

Andrei knew a lot and continued to talk beside him.

After a while, Gami nodded as well.

"These two tentacles are almost filled with the power of darkness, and it will be very good to use them with dark-related spells."

Darkness here generally refers to spells related to night and shadows, darkness in the practical sense, not in a negative sense.

"Okay, let's clean up the deck, his blood is mixed with magic, it's very corrosive, and it's hard to clean this kind of thing with the ship's automatic cleaning."

Andre said, walking directly into the small storage room next to it, and took out a large pile of brushes for cleaning the deck, as well as buckets.

Truth be told, this was the first time in the months since Arka had been on board that he had seen this tool, which was often seen on other ships.

Everyone was given a set of tools, and the fourth-level members in the cabin also fetched a few buckets of water from below.

Start washing the blood from the places where you have fought on the deck.

At this time, Uncle Hammermat and other minor members can only fight on the side.

In Andrei's words, these bloods stained with darkness are corrosive and have a certain amount of harm to humans.

Ordinary people do not become touchers, they have no protection, and they are prone to illness if they are contaminated.

Although it may be just a few minor ailments, it is better to minimize the trouble on such a sea surface.

After doing this, everyone cleaned up the dirt from their bodies, and then returned to the cabin to rest, and was not in the mood to continue playing cards.

However, this not very powerful, sea monster cub did sweep away their boring mood.

……

In the year 456 of the blood union calendar, September 10.

It's getting darker, and now it's hard to see sunlight shining through the dark clouds, even during the day.

If it weren't for these, the light through the clouds would have alerted you to a complete confusion in the perception of day and night.

And the Dark Realm is much more dangerous than I thought, everything here is extremely deadly to ordinary humans.

But judging from the bustle of the southeast corner, there are countless ordinary people sailing in the dark realm in the hope of making huge profits.

Wealth can really make people blind to reality.

As we get closer to the Dark Flashpoint, the perimeter becomes more and more dangerous.

———

Arka stopped the pen he was writing on the journal and closed it.

"Are you writing a journal for the past few days?"

Lucilia asked, sitting on the edge of the bed, lying crooked on the bed.

Arka nodded.

"Then do you still want to continue to learn the ancient language of Buddha Gan today?"

"I've been studying all morning, so let's stop here today, I'll go out and breathe."

Saying that, Arka stood up, and when she heard that Arka was going out, Lucilia did not hesitate to get into the necklace.

As they got closer to the Dark Flashpoint, they moved deeper and deeper into the Dark Realm.

Now Lucilia is reluctant to come out anywhere except in the room.

Because there is a protective spell in the room, and it is also airtight.

The dark elemental in the air that blows with the sea breeze makes her feel sick.

In Lucilia's words, it was as if she was walking through the desert, and the scorching sun was burning her skin wildly.

While the damage is certainly not fatal, it is certainly upsetting and can become more and more uncomfortable over time.

As Arka reached the deck, it was still dark even though there were several Illumination Stones hanging on the deck.

Their destination was in the middle of the entire Dark Domain, not a short distance from the core of the Dark Flashpoint.

Judging by the speed of the voyage, they are now basically in the middle of the course.

The darkness here has made it difficult to dispel the Illumination Stones.

A card appears in his hand.

As the card glows, a mirror appears on the card, turning into a ring and a different refractive surface following the control of Alka.

Arka lit the lighting stone and placed it in the middle, and a simple flashlight was ready.

The light source of the mirror is refracted, and I have to say that it is quite useful in such a dark domain.

"Arka, you're here."

Watching such a beam of light form, Jason, who was on a brief alert on the watchtower, spoke up.

"Come down, I'll take over your guard."

A lantern appeared in the watchtower on the main mast, and the light source slid down the zipline.

The light source moved, and Arka also saw Jason at this time.

Now Jason looks a little weak, his hair is a little messy, and even his beard has grown long, and he hasn't taken care of it.

It looks a little sloppy, after all, after sailing in a dark place for so long, inexplicably began to pay less and less attention to the image.

He walked over and patted Alka on the shoulder: "Okay, you go up, I'll go take a break." ”

"Rest well."

Arka said, and climbed up the rope ladder.

The watchtower on the main mast is relatively spacious, and it doesn't seem crowded to move around here.

At the top is a small bronze bell the size of a human head.

Once you notice that something is wrong, you can ring this small bell and pass on the sound of vigilance.

Usually they rarely come to the alert.

But not right now.

The secondary members can't even get up to the deck now, and the spreading darkness will damage their bodies.

So the main members began to rotate to be on guard.

Although you can't see anything in the dark, you can feel the strangeness of the ship from the watchtower, and there is such a spell setting here.

In particular, it is possible to sense the danger within the range of the vessel.

"The darkness is really emaciating." Arka couldn't help but say to herself.

"It's okay, it's like being in a mirror."

Lucilia's voice came.

In order to pass the boring time, the two began to chat slowly.

Darkness and loneliness can drive people crazy if there is no one to talk to.

While the two were chatting about each other, a beeping sound suddenly sounded below.

A flurry of footsteps appeared on the deck.

The mirror flashlight that Arka had been holding on immediately shone downward.

Matt and Repoca were running towards the infirmary with Hammer as best they could.

Vanessa heard the sound and walked out, saw the actions of the two, and immediately ran over, grabbed Hammer and walked into the infirmary.

Hammer, who was hugged, was still struggling frantically.

Talking about something with his mouth open, it was not very real because the place where Arka was at this time was some distance from the deck, and the howling of the wind in the dark.

"He's saying stop singing, stop singing."

Lucilia's voice, which is not affected by the sound of the wind, comes from the mirror.

"Don't sing anymore?"

Alka was a little confused, what does this mean?

"Didn't your captain say before that darkness can make people's spirits abnormal? Maybe that's the case with him now. ”

Hearing Lucilia's prompt, Arka nodded in remembrance.

yes, I think that's exactly what happened.

But doesn't it mean that the ship is safe? This is probably the case when you have to leave the island.

But on second thought, the warning itself was addressed to those who touched it.

Ordinary people who are in worse health and don't have active magic to protect themselves may also be affected by this on a ship.

But now that Arka is on alert, he can only stabilize his curiosity and wait for someone to change the guard.
