At night, the red moon falls.

The sea breeze blew softly, carrying away the strong smell of blood from the Storm Hunter.

On this three-masted galleon, which had just experienced a fierce battle, there were traces of the battle everywhere, broken decks, a half-head bow statue remaining, and bloodstained wooden blocks everywhere......

The deck cleaned by the Soul Eater was no longer the cruel and rampant pirate of the past, and Wayne was the only one sitting alone on the half-headed bow of the ship, playing with the lantern in his hand, listening with interest to the sound of Ronan as they searched the cabin.

"Second mate, come and see, there are more than forty women here, all of them are beautiful!!"

"Oh my god, Storm Hunter bastards are too good at enjoying-"

"More than forty?" Most of the horror in Ronan's voice instantly dissipated, and he asked with a little surprise, "Where is it, take me over and have a look...... Ahem, take me to the rescue of the good girls who have been captured by the Storm Hunters. ”

After the lewd laughter of the two Ronan pirates, one of them asked in a low voice, "Second mate Ronan, can you see if you can leave only half of the captain, and let our brothers drink a sip of soup with us......"

"Just you?"

"Second mate, to tell you the truth, I promised my deceased old father that I must find a beautiful girl to be my wife before I turn fifty......"

"Wife? Lef, how old are you? ”

"Forty-nine, hey."

Ronan deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that others would find out, "You know, from now on, these girls are already the captain's personal belongings." I think you'd better wait for the captain to enjoy it, and then ask him, maybe it will make your wish come true......"

"Thanks to the second ......"

"Enjoy~Huh?"

"Well, first mate, you, you're here, no, you're holding a knife to ......" Ronan's voice instantly became frightened, "Ah, don't-"

Half an hour later, the three pirates, including Ronan, were all scratched out of their faces with the words "X Bad Guy", and blood dripped down their cheeks, but they didn't dare to make any moves.

"Oh~ I think about it, these lovely, kind and beautiful girls, or continue to stay on the Storm Hunter, what do you think? Second mate? Claire played a trick, her charming eyes swept over the girls in the room, "I'm worried that with a strange personality like the captain, I'll bully them~"

"First Mate, you're absolutely right!" Ronan catered solemnly: "They have just experienced a catastrophe, and they definitely don't want to be disturbed again, and letting them leave is the best choice." ”

"That's how to behave~"

"Second Officer......

", it's useless to call Dad, there's no way I'm going to let you touch a finger of these girls!" Ronan stared at the triangular eyes and stood in front of the ragged and frightened girls, and scolded in a 'righteous word': "Why don't you hurry up and find the treasure on the ship, let the captain wait for a long time......"

"Yes!"

“……”

Wayne covered his face, impressed by Claire's strange brain circuitry.

Even if the clear shadows and astonishing size of the more than forty girls came from his spiritual perception, he would only choose to take care of them, how could he let them stay in the dangerous deep sea?

However, after they made such a fuss, his mind that had just been occupied by the killing intent couldn't help but dissipate a little.

Slaughter......

Wayne's eyes flashed back to the images of the cruel pirate, the desperate pirate, the wailing, the fear, the chaos, and finally the smile on Henrik's face with satisfaction

He knew exactly where these changes came from.

If it weren't for the panels, perhaps he would still be struggling in the city-state of Custer, spending his days as carefully as he was.

During the day, he only dared to go to a specific place, he did not dare to slack off at night, he was reluctant to turn on the gas to keep warm when it was cold, he took the cheapest black bread to satisfy his hunger when he was hungry, and even set aside food for the next day, and the cost of each day was accurate to one penny......

Strength, bringing change, but also ushered in a new life.

"Woo woo woo ......"

At that moment, a whimpering sound sounded from under the calm sea, as if several delicate women were crying in low voices, as if they were lamenting his indifference.

[You have been eroded by the origin of an unknown existence, because your origin power exceeds four hundred, you have successfully exempted from this origin erosion!] Comments: An unexpected visitor, interrupting the hard-won praise...... Special Rewards: Origin +2, Spirit Level +3, Resilience Level +3. 】

Origin?

Before Wayne could look around, he saw a message floating across the panel again.

[You stepped into the place where the endless killing intent of the unknown existence was contained, and because your spiritual level was greater than 5000, you successfully resisted the erosion of spiritual power. Rating: Nasty guy...... Special Rewards: +20 Survival Points, +2 Spirit Level. 】

A place where endless killing intent is stored?!

Wayne's eyes froze, scanning the calm sea.

The place where faith is stored, he knows and has encountered, is the place where those gods collect the faith power of believers, but this killing intent is ......

Killing intent can also be stored?

At this moment, several thoughts flashed through Wayne's mind, thinking of the rules of the deep sea that Ronan had talked about before, one of which was - don't try to wake up pirates who have fallen into a dream!

Dreams, a dream of only killing...... Was it made by this place where the killing intent was stored?

Thinking of this, Wayne's spiritual perception spread out, covering the Storm Hunter and Ronan, Claire, Ronan, and Leif......

Under his perception, the appearance of a pirate, a woman, and a prisoner came to mind clearly.

Well?

"Are there really two pirates in the dreamland......"

The people on the Storm Hunter were still moving normally, but two of the pirates who had been lying on the Ronan and looking over the side were now lying motionless on the window of the cabin.

The surrounding pirates were far away from them, talking in whispers, as if they didn't dare to make a noise.

"Damn...... Before you fall asleep, you are pulled into that dream? ”

"Two unlucky fellows, hurry up and bring the partition over, try not to be disturbed by the noise."

"Wesley, you go over in the boat and inform the captain and first mate of their ......"

"I just had some happy things, and when I encountered something like this, I don't know if it will affect the mood of several adults."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go......"

Hearing this, Wayne's senses spread out farther around, even beneath the surface of the sea, hoping to find some traces of killing intent, or something similar to those sect totems.

[You are locked by the killing intent of the Deep Sea Thorn Fish. Comments: You seem to be bothering it. Reward: +1 Survival Point. 】

Can this also be perceived?

Wayne frowned, instantly retracting his mental perception, their perception of transcendent power was so keen?

The moment he was spotted by the thornfish, he sensed its movements, a monster covered in spikes swimming towards the Storm Hunter from a few hundred meters below the surface of the sea.

These deep-sea fish are even more difficult to deal with than you think......

But that way, he couldn't try to find the thing that was collecting killing intent......

Wayne thought for a moment, but finally decided to give up.

Since that deep-sea rule applies to all ships sailing in the Cordor Sea, it means that there are those things in other seas as well.

"It looks like we can only check it out during the day."

With that in mind, Wayne stood up and jumped into the deck with his lantern in his hand, he had already heard the conversation between Claire and the others, apparently in trouble at the bottom of the ship.

“…… You, who are you? What about Henrik? ”

"Who are you?" Standing at the bottom of the dimly lit ship, Claire looked in disbelief at the cages made of special metal in front of her, which contained several strangely shaped people—well, human creatures, allow.

They were naked and handsome, and they were nailed to the frame deep in the prison by dozens of palm-sized nails, with a nail in the palm of their hand, shoulder blades, hip bones, soles of feet, and even the center of their eyebrows.

But the strange thing is that such a "person" did not die just like this, but looked at Claire calmly as if nothing happened, and even had the mood to ask about things outside.

"Idiot, there was such a loud noise from outside just now, it must have been those bastards who were slaughtered. Hahaha......"

"God is above, but it's a pity that I didn't see their death with my own eyes, and it must have been a wonderful scene."

"yes, if I could, I'd like to taste their blood and see what it smells like......"

“…… You have such a unique taste! ”

Taste? Absorb?

Claire frowned, looking at these creatures as if they were all right, and only felt that the transcendent knowledge she had been exposed to before was a little insufficient.

What the hell is this guy?

"Hey, ugly woman, tell me, are the people on this ship dead?"

"Ugly woman?" Claire's face turned cold, and she snapped her fingers, and a ghostly light shot into him, spreading strange supernatural power at the bottom of the ship.

"Puppet...... Are you trying to turn me into your puppet? ”

"Hahahaha...... It's so funny, it's ......."

"Damn it!" Claire cursed and was about to slaughter them.

"Wait......"

……

……

At the same time, in the southern part of the sea of Cordo, somewhere.

Under the night sky, the sea fog fills the air, the light of the red moon flickers dimly, and the dark silhouette looms in the sea fog and night.

Wow, whoa......

The waves crashed against the reef, and there was a continuous roar.

As the silhouette gradually appeared, on the seemingly inconspicuous island, a steel city stood in the center of the island - on all four high walls made of steel, dozens of magma emitting faint blue flames, flowing along the winding grooves on the wall, and the scorching heat dyed the entire steel wall red.

At the foot of the high wall, a deep, dark crater appeared in front of you.

The lava flows down from the high wall, slowly glides through the craters, and gradually converges into a dark blue river of magma.

Runes were embedded in the crater's rock walls, emitting silvery white dots of light that dotted the blue firelight and moved with the flow of magma.

And in this steel city, surrounded by high walls of red and dark blue fluorescent, dozens of towers stand.

Each tower is hundreds of meters high and reaches into the sky. Among them, the tall tower in the center of the city is even more amazing, reaching a height of thousands of kilometers.

The spire of each tall tower has a huge gem, with the red ruby of the tall tower in the middle as the center, and gradually extends outward round and round of low towers, and you can vaguely see the six-pointed star circle formed by the connection of those gems.

"Whew-whew-"

A low snoring sound came from the tower in the center of the city, and each breath seemed to have some special power, causing the ruby at the top of the tower to shoot out six rays of light and transmit it to the six nearest towers, and then the light spread outward, and finally stopped on the high wall, prompting the appearance and flow of dark blue magma - as if there was a terrifying monster sleeping in that tower.

"Have you made contact with the Storm Hunter?"

"Not yet, I've tried all kinds of methods but no one responded."

"Strange ......"

A woman, who was only wearing a black scarf and a cool short skirt to cover the vital point, flashed a trace of impatience on her face, and her silver-gray eyes reflected the faint blue fire in the city, "What about Black Jack?" ”

"The first mate is coming this way, and it is expected to arrive in two months." Wearing black full-body armor, the helmet shimmered with a crystal blue light, exuding a burst of coolness to resist the surrounding heat, his head lowered, his eyes nailed straight to his toes, and he replied respectfully.

"Send a message to him to keep an eye on the Storm Hunter, and if Henrik's bastard is gone, let him bring back the man who killed Henrik, or kill him as a challenger."

"Gah?" The black-armored man was slightly stunned.

The gorgeous woman glanced at him and said coldly, "What? You wouldn't think that no one dared to challenge the Black Pearl off the coast of Cordo, right? ”

"But with Captain Henrik's strength......"

"Strength? Oh, a self-righteous fool! ”

The black-armored man was silent, as if he had acquiesced to the fact that what the woman said was correct.

"Contact a few of the other bastards as well, and get them back before the boss wakes up," the woman snorted, not caring about his feelings, "By the way, the Aranika has been moving a lot lately, and that challenger seems to have found a way to deal with the deep sea beasts." ”

"In addition, the new heroic saintess of Dawn has left the Eastern Continent and is heading towards the Southern Continent, so let them pay attention to me, don't accidentally slaughter people."

"The old lady doesn't want to go to war with the Alanika and the Church of the Dawn at the same time while the boss is away!"

"Yes, Lord Lotilea!"

The gorgeous woman waved her hand impatiently, and only after the black-armored man left, did she curse in a low voice, "Damn Black Jack, such a simple task has not been completed, and the boss will have to sleep for three more months." ”

Look at the tall towers that shimmer with the light of the magic circle not far away, the silent and terrifying hot magma, and the red moon that faintly shines through the sea mist......

After a long time, she sighed, "The guns are ringing, and the death knell has arrived...... It's weird, the era of the forbidden gods shouldn't be like this......"
