Chapter 177: The Gatekeeper of the Undead World
"If, I say, it was just an accident, would you believe it?"
Wayne looked at the mountain-like beast of the deep sea, and even though it was now unrecognizable and a corpse, it was struck by its sheer size.
Its body was a strange gray color, covered with human-length spikes, dozens of thick tentacles, and due to the effects of death, the skin was either shriveled or covered with pus, and more of them were flesh pits after the explosion of the corpse blast.
In particular, the huge mouth buried in the center of the tentacle was blown to pieces, and you can imagine how miserable the scene was at that moment.
"Tsk, it's shocking, I express my deep condolences for what happened to you......"
The three bandaged weirdos, their bodies wrapped in strips of cloth trembled slightly, their limbs twisted and bent like puppets being manipulated, and their empty eyes stared at Wayne, obviously angry with him.
"You!?"
"The true Lord is above, please send down divine punishment to punish the blasphemer in front of you!"
"I'm going to kill youβ"
Kill me?
Wayne looked at them and chuckled, "Yes, but until then, I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to know your identity?" β
After already knowing the weakness of these bandage geeks, he didn't panic in the slightest. No matter how strong it is, can it compare to the already cold deep-sea monster next to it?
Although he was also very surprised, it was-
"Nago, Litzen!"
A strange man pulled a silver necklace from his tattered gray robes, hissed a dull and hoarse voice in a gonzalez voice, shielded by bandages.
"Monk of Twilight? Is this your identity? β
"Huh? How would you? β
The bandage freak didn't seem to expect Wayne to be proficient in Gonzares, and they looked at each other, and then the gray-yellow strip of cloth on their bodies disintegrated and wound towards Wayne.
The corners of Wayne's mouth moved slightly, which made him angry?
"Niko, Rook."
Since this is the case, he doesn't plan to stay any longer, and if he deals with these people as soon as possible, he can leave this sea area as soon as possible.
Several flickering spells were cast, and dozens of phantom clones unleashed enchanting spells at them in unison, completely controlling the three bandages and the Dusk Secret Monk.
"It's a pity ......"
Wayne looked at the bandage freaks who were in a state of enchantment and motionless, and pulled out his sniper rifle to kill them one by one.
If he could, he would also like to get more information from these weirdos, especially about the storage of killing intent and the effect of the alchemy circle just now.
However, it was clear that these so-called Secret Monks of Twilight did not intend to answer the doubts in his mind.
"Blasphemer, I curse you, and you will perish, and you will be swallowed up by the illusory world!"
Sensing the omen of death, the three bandage freaks struggled and roared, "It's all an illusion!" β

γβ¦β¦γ
[Discover the origin that can be devoured, do you use the soul devouring spell?] γ
"It's not a little bit dead."
Curse?
Wayne pursed his lips, not paying attention to the nonsense of the secret monks.
Then he looked around.
By this time, the entire island of Dacman had long since disappeared, and there was no living creature other than the corpse of the huge deep-sea beast.
But if you think about it, it should be the same.
After that alchemy circle took effect, the attacks of natural disasters and aberrants caused the creatures on the island and the surrounding waters to die directly, plus the devouring of the deep sea beasts, it can be said that there are almost no living creatures.
In the end, his few corpse blasts only detonated a large number of corpses and some deep-sea distortions, killing very few people.
Despite this, he still relied on the effect of the corpse explosion technique's damage stacking to catch the deep-sea beast off guard and die directly.
Although there was also a lot of luck in this - if it weren't for the large number of corpses and deviants gathered together at that time, being carried and flowing towards the deep sea beasts, I am afraid that the damage would not have been superimposed to such a terrifying level in an instant.
With this in mind, Wayne let the ghosts get to work in the spirit of shameful waste, devouring some of the corpse residues that had not yet been swallowed by the deep sea.
"Adagua!"
[You use the Soul Devouring Spell to devour the origin of the deep sea aberration, and your origin is improved.] Special Reward: Origin +0.01. γ
You use the Soul Eater spell to devour Wolfgang Sarabia...... Your source is uplifted. Special Reward: Origin +4. γ
γβ¦β¦γ
[You failed to use the Soul Eater spell to devour an unknown deep-sea beast.] Rating: Spell level is insufficient...... Special Rewards: +1 Survival Points, +1 Soul Eater Experience. γ
Well?
Can't devour?!
Wayne opened the panel and took a look, he remembered that the Soul Eater Spell had reached level 5, so he couldn't devour that giant beast yet?
Class: Wizard (Intermediate)
Toughness Rating: 6814
Spirit Class: 6711
Origin: 562 (563) (seal 1 point origin)
Survival Point: 142311
"The rewards are quite a lot, but not as many as expected."
Wayne thought for a few seconds before he understood the difference.
The corpse blast just cast kills all deep-sea aberrations near Dacman Island, and other creatures that are already corpses do not count as rewards.
Those deep-sea fish near the island, etc., only have a single-digit survival point reward, and some don't even have survival points.
And more than 80% of the reward is still obtained by killing that third-level calamity-level deep-sea beast at the end......
Thinking like this, Wayne directly upgraded the soul devouring spell, wanting to quickly devour the deep-sea beast.
He had already seen ships approaching in the distance, and it would take him another hour at most to get here.
Soul Eater Level 5 (2/50000) ...... οΌ50000/50000οΌγ
[Soul Eater Spell Level 5 (50000/50000), is it increased?] γ
γLift.γ γ
[Congratulations, your skill: Soul Eater Spell level 5 has been upgraded to level 6.] Effect: Greatly increases the quality level of the Devouring Origin, and greatly increases the speed of Devouring and absorption. γ
[Note: When the skill level is increased from level 6 to level 7, not only experience points are required, but also one's own class level needs to enter the Grand Wizard level.] γ
Forehead?
Wayne noticed the hint on the panel, and sure enough, he saw a gray font on the back of the Soul Eater - the class level is not met.
He had thought that as long as there were enough survival points, the spell could be improved indefinitely.
Now it seems that the wizard level can only be raised to the maximum level of level 6.
"But a sixth-level spell is enough to use ......"
He has a panel to help him quickly increase the level of spells, and it took so long to increase a spell to level 6, and it is even more difficult for other wizards to improve.
And with his current basic attributes, he thinks that he will soon be able to advance to the level of a great wizard, so it is better to find more ways to get survival points.
"Adagua!"
In the next second, four Origin Descendants flew out, and their entire heads swelled rapidly, opening their bloody mouths and pounced on the corpse of the deep-sea giant beast.
Click! Click!
A few sounds like the sound of gold and iron rang out, and the expression on the huge face of the ghost's head changed from excitement to astonishment, and then flew back in frustration.
"Baba, it's too hard."
"I can't bite ......"
"I feel like my teeth are loose."
"Woo, Baba, I'm sorry!"
[You failed to use the Soul Eater spell to devour an unknown deep-sea beast.] Evaluation: I said that the level is not enough, I don't think that I can devour it by upgrading to one level, right? Special Rewards: +1 Survival Points, +1 Soul Eater Experience. γ
"That doesn't work?"
Wayne was dumbfounded, even the soul devouring spell that had reached level 6 couldn't devour that deep-sea beast?
Is this the level of its Origin Strength so high?
Or is it for some other reason?
"What the hell is ...... now?"
He looked at the deep-sea beast that had already swallowed half of its body by the sea, and those dead eyes glared at him, as if mocking - look, Lao Tzu is dead, you can't do anything about Lao Tzu.
"Tsk!"
Wayne frowned slightly, looked at the ships that were getting closer and closer in the distance, thought for a few seconds, and had an idea in his heart.
If you can't swallow it, then transform it!
There will always be a level limit for undead transformation, right?
Syllable!
The ghost received his command, lifted his spirits and flew to the head of the sea beast, chanting the incantation aloud: "Boa, Theogi, Syeki!" β
A rune circle slowly emerged on the surface of the sea, as if sensing the huge size of the deep sea beast, and the entire circle began to expand outward, until the rune patterns and nodes covered it entirely.
Immediately afterward, streaks of gray smoke rose up, slowly submerging the corpse of the deep-sea beast.
"Crunch, crunch......"
"A legendary beast of the deep?"
At this moment, a gloomy voice came from the gray mist.
"Huh?"
Wayne, who was waiting for the transformation result, was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he flashed away directly.
Is there someone in the process of transforming the undead?
And still such a scary person?
"Hmm, wizard?" The owner of the voice sensed Wayne's presence, and his tone was slightly relieved: "It's still young and capable, unlike those old guys of ghosts, who are more and more bastards......"
"You, who are you?"
Hearing this, Wayne became more and more vigilant, is this connected with ghosts?
"Me?" The voice in the gray mist, a faint sigh: "I'm just an ordinary janitor in the world of the undead. β
"The janitor?"
"Well, don't worry about that. This time, I would like to thank you for your contribution to the world of the dead, and I will take ...... with it."
As soon as the words fell, the next second Wayne heard a roar from the gray fog that seemed to come from the abyss, and the huge sound once again stirred the surrounding sea surface.
"Roarβ"
[You successfully used the Undead Transformation (Grim Reaper) spell to transform an undead creature - Bone Behemoth, obtained the status of "Deadpool", and obtained a random talent ability - Plague. Comment: Na, congratulations, another general. Well, if you can summon it out. Special Rewards: +100 Survival Points, +10 Toughness Level, +10 Spirit Level. γ
Deadpool?!
Wayne's eyes froze, staring at the gray mist that gradually dissipated, a behemoth slowly appeared, and the shadow of the previous deep-sea beast could be vaguely seen.
But now its entire body has turned into a glittering skeleton, surrounded by barbed white bone tentacles is a huge oval head, with no limbs or facial features, only a large mouth full of fangs, and a deep, dark eye.
"Roarβ"
The one-eyed man on the skeletal beast's head seemed to look at Wayne deeply, and its mouth opened wide to let out a long roar again.
However, in the next second, it was dragged in by the giant claws formed by the gray mist.
All that was left was the roar of the bones colliding against each other, echoing in his ears.
After a few moments, the sea gradually calmed down, and Wayne breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the Ronan, a new imprint connection in his mind.
"So clear?"
This time, after the bone beast with the identity of "Deadpool" returned to the world of the undead, he could still feel the existence of the other party.
And it was far clearer than the last time he transformed the liaison officer, and he could even detect the movement of the bone beast at this time.
At this moment, it seems that he has entered a place full of liquid, swimming up and down, left and right, and the tentacles around him are constantly poking around, bringing back something and stuffing it into his mouth......
Eating?
No, it's devouring other undead creatures?
Wayne chuckled, "...... I didn't expect it to be quite adaptable. β
It seems that the bone beast has comprehended the rules of survival in the undead world, and as soon as it enters, it can't wait to improve its strength.
I don't know if he will be able to summon this bone beast through the undead summoning spell in the future, if he can...... Then developed!
Wayne wiped the saliva that didn't exist at the corner of his mouth, looked at the gradually calming sea, and the owner of the voice just now sounded in his mind.
Concierge?
It seems that some people of the ghost are also aware of his existence?
"It seems that when I get free later, I need to reconsider the invitation of the research center."
Judging from the information available so far, the Wraith School, as well as the other four wizarding schools, are more powerful than most of them.
As far as he knew, there were several legendary-level wizards within the ghost, not including the other great wizards.
Then Wayne thoughtfully took out the golden key and returned to the Clown Theater.
Anyway, this time it was a rewarding one.
Claire and the others were still sitting at the dining table, and when they saw his figure appear, their faces were full of joy, "How is it outside?" β
"It's all right," Wayne said, grabbing a blue marlin into his mouth again, looking at Ronan, "Get ready to set sail." β
Before the ships arrived, get out of here.
"Yes, Captain!"
Ronan almost jumped up in excitement, in such a terrifying crisis, the red-haired captain can save the day, what else can stop him in the future?
He hurriedly ran to the rest area on the side and called out all the people inside.
"Willen, hurry up, bring everyone out. Captain, the matter outside has been solved, let's set sail immediately! β
"Solved?"
Wei Lun and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they were as ecstatic as Triangle Eyes.
"Captain, long live!"
At this moment, no one will doubt the ability of the red-haired captain anymore, and even Ronan has made up his mind to definitely hold the captain's thigh in the future.
Ronan?
Go to the special thing,
From today onwards, he will be the second mate on the redhead!
Claire glanced at the pirates who were in a boil and asked softly, "How did you do that?" β
The terrifying scene of the natural disaster outside just now left a deep impression on her, especially the huge monster, which not everyone can solve.
Even Menor!
Wayne muttered, "Probably there is some flaw in that alchemy circle." β
"Oh~"
Claire gave him a seductive look and didn't ask any further questions.
Active in the transcendent worlds of various city-states all year round, she has seen too many transcendents, and knows very well that no one with extraordinary powers is simple, and it is normal for some unknown secrets to be known.
Of course, even she is no exception!
Wayne knew she wouldn't believe it, and after quickly eating the blue marlin in his hand, he returned to the Ronan with everyone.
At the same time, he didn't forget to use his talent for fraud to erase the memories of those pirates.
This time, if it weren't for the urgency of the situation, and Ronan and the others used it quite easily, he would not have exposed the existence of the theater.
At least for a short time, the Clown Theater remains his biggest secret.
"Set sail, set sail!"
After Ronan identified the direction, he steered the steamer and continued southward.
An hour later, several three-masted galleons rushed to the sea where the island of Dakman was located.
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at the floating sea with only a few pieces of rubble and planks left, unable to believe their eyes.
"Here, what just happened......"
"What about Dacman Island?"
"Dacman Island is gone?!"
"Who did it?"
Shocking and incredulous voices rang out over the sea, and after a few moments, a sailor shouted, "It seems that a steamship has just left here?" β
"yes, I saw that too."
"Ronan, it seems?"
"Yes, it's him?!"
These perennial ships at sea, and there is no shortage of well-informed people, quickly think of the red-haired captain who killed Henrik before.
"Quick, get the word out, and say that when the red-haired captain of the Ronan left, Dacman Island was completely destroyed."
"Suspected red-haired captain destroys Dacman Island!"
The news was passed around like snowflakes, as if some earth-shattering secret had been discovered.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
And 1,500 kilometers north of Dacman Island, a five-masted galleon with white and gold stripes headed south.
A gray-haired, burly old man wearing a suit of white-gold armor with a resolute and tough face brandished a two-handed broadsword on the bow deck of the ship to make basic movements.
Or split, or sweep, wielding that two-handed sword impenetrable.
"Assimio, has the heretic been decided?"
"Lord Huberto, it's been determined that he is near Dacman Island!"
"Full speed ahead!"
As the words fell, Huberto thrust his two-handed broadsword into the sword box behind his back.
For some reason, when he thought about the aberrations who had been arrested, he felt a hint of foreboding.
An aberrant wizard at most at the level of a great wizard.
How so?
Or will the great dawn call me to that kingdom?
Oh, that's old......
At the same time, in the south of Dacman Island.
"Report!!"
When Euan heard the voice, he threw the playing cards in his hand into the pile without hesitation, and stirred the cards a few times to scramble, and chuckled: "This doesn't count." β
"Damn it, you're cheating!"
Black Jack's face was covered with notes, and he had a good handful of cards in his hand, glaring at Euann angrily.
"It's important to get down to business." Euan spread his hands.
Looking at his scoundrel appearance, Blackjack had no choice but to throw away his cards, looked at his nervous subordinates, and snorted: "You'd better bring good news, otherwise you'll ......"
"First mate, someone just wrote to say that the redhead has destroyed the entire Dacman Island!"
"What?!"
