Wayne frowned and looked at Claire, "Your strength has improved?" ”

According to his observations, Claire's strength is somewhere between ministerial and director-level, and her true combat effectiveness depends on whether the enemy's extraordinary characteristics restrain her puppets.

But no matter what, she couldn't possibly be able to stand up to five Dusk Secret Monks.

Not to mention confrontation, whether you can escape unharmed or not.

However, the current situation is that she has directly turned these Dusk Secret Monks into her puppets......

"Oh~ Captain, are you done?" Claire turned around and saw Wayne, and a charming smile appeared on her beautiful face again, but she didn't answer his question.

After killing the pirate, the five Secret Monks of Dusk beside her retracted the strips of rags and rewound them around them, covering their withered and hideous bodies, and the hideous illusory heads calmed down and slowly retracted into their bodies, as if sealed by strips of cloth.

"Captain."

"Captain!"

"Captain ......"

Wayne nodded, glanced around, and noticed more than twenty broken pirate corpses lying scattered on the deck, as well as hundreds of corpses of deep sea aberrants, and understood that the battle here was not going well before he arrived.

Not only that, but even Claire has a lot of blood on her body......

Seeing this, he jumped off the lookout, came to Claire, looked at the dusk secret monks, and asked calmly, "Tell me, what's going on here?" ”

"As you can see, it's just a group of pirates," Claire held out her finger and pointed to Triangle Eye and the others standing in front of the cabin, "the Golden Dis has come to find the second officer." ”

"I'm sorry, Captain," Ronan hesitated, lowered his head, and said, "That's the thing, after nightfall, the Golden Orchid of the Golden Diss Pirates came to you......"

It turned out that after Claire arrived, the captain named Stasi went straight to board the Leonard.

The battle didn't go well at first, and even though the rune circle was activated on the ship under the command of Clea, the pirates still couldn't resist the crazy attacks of those deep sea aberrations.

And at this time, Claire-

"If it weren't for the first mate, maybe we would have been defeated. At that time......"

"Okay, I'll take care of the rest." Claire raised her hand to interrupt Ronan's remarks.

"Uh, yes." Ronan glanced at Wayne, saw that he didn't refute, his expression was slightly relieved, and he silently retreated to the pirates.

"As you think, I just made a breakthrough and my strength has increased, so I can control them in one fell swoop." The smile on Claire's face retracted, and her eyes looked at Wayne a little more complicated, and said, "As for the rest, I'll explain it to you when I get back there, okay?" ”

"Hmm." Wayne gave Claire a deep look and nodded.

Although he didn't know very well how the strength of the transcendent had improved, if he wanted to break through quickly in such a tense battle, he must not use a conventional method.

Even if a wizard like him has the help of the panel, when he advances, he will still choose to complete it in a hidden place.

It seems that Claire also has a lot of secrets......

Thinking of this, Wayne waved his hand, "Ghost." ”

"Adagua!"

The four heads opened their mouths wide and devoured the deck deviant along with the corpse of the attacking pirate captain.

[You use the Soul Eater spell to devour Stasi Bonnella's Origin, and your Origin is enhanced.] Comments: This is actually a woman...... Special Reward: Origin +2. 】

【……】

[You use the Soul Devouring Spell to devour the origin of the deep sea aberration, and your origin is improved.] Evaluation: A little adds up. Special Reward: Origin +0.01. 】

After doing this, Wayne instructed Ronan and the other pirates, "Second mate, you take someone to that ship to see if there is any loot, and let them quickly clean up the deck." ”

"Yes!"

Ronan hurriedly arranged for the pirates to clean the deck, and then led the people to the Golden Orchid.

"Go back...... Well? ”

Wayne sensed some strange fluctuations in his psychic perception and looked sideways at the sea in the distance.

It's just that the feedback of mental perception is not clear, and he can't tell the source of those fluctuations.

"What's wrong?" Claire noticed his movements, followed his gaze, didn't notice anything unusual, and asked suspiciously.

"Nope."

Activate the Talent-Spiritual Transformation.

Spirit level increased!

In his heart, Wayne raised the spiritual level to 10,000, further expanding the range of perception.

As the perceived fluctuations became clearer, he finally understood what was there—beneath the surface of the sea, there was a pyramid-shaped structure, much like the one he had seen in Dacman Island before.

[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. Comment: It's just some alternative gadgets, nothing compared to the authority of the rules! Special Rewards: +20 Survival Points, +2 Spirit Level. 】

Murderous intent storage?

It's really those pyramids!

"You wait a minute here."

"Oh."

"Secret Master!"

"Flo, Ize, Aurela!"

The Master of the Secret recited the spell of Shadow Walk, and Wayne's figure disappeared from the Leonard.

When he opened his eyes again, he had passed through the viscous diaphragm and appeared in the realm of death.

However, this time he didn't look at the sleeping god body again, and he didn't even dare to take a second look at the corpse mountain blood cloud not far away, and turned around to look at the outside world, looking at the location of the pyramid.

Remove the Shadow Walk!

In an instant, Wayne left the realm of death, and his figure appeared at the location of the pyramid, landing on the spire of the pyramid to be exact.

[You touch the place where the killing intent of an unknown existence is contained, because your spirit level exceeds 5000, you are exempt from the killing dream. Appraise:...... Special Rewards: +30 Survival Points, +2 Spirit Level, +2 Toughness Level. 】

【……】

[You have touched the place where the killing intent of an unknown existence is stored...... Reward: +20 survival points. 】

Wayne looked at the pyramid at his feet, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, "It's different?" ”

I saw that most of the pyramid was sunk under the surface of the sea, the whole body was blood-red, not the silver-white color seen in Dacman Island before, and it was also much smaller, only five meters in length at most.

Not only that, but the tower didn't have those weirdly twisted asymmetrical runes, and it obviously didn't have the effect of that alchemy circle.

Or is this the container for murderous intent scattered all over the sea?

Wayne glanced around, covered by spiritual perception, and saw that no other anomalies were found, so he put the pyramid into the spatial ring.

"Roar—"

As the pyramid disappeared, the surrounding sea instantly filled the gap, and the strange fluctuations caused those deep-sea distortions to rush in.

Before they could be seen, Wayne's figure vanished, and he used the Shadow Walk to return to the Leonard again.

Claire leaned on the side of the ship and looked at the Golden Orchid not far away, sensing movement behind her, and several Dusk Secret Monks on the side looked at Wayne at the same time.

"Did you find anything? Captain~"

"Well," Wayne said in a calm tone, "it should be something from the Twilight Sect." ”

"Oh?"

Claire turned around, leaned back against the side of the boat and looked at him, and laughed, "Is it something I've seen on that island before?" ”

"It's different, there are no alchemy runes."

Wayne shook his head, then glanced at the Monks of Dusk, "However, it may well have something to do with them. ”

"It should be," Claire moved her fingers to control a Dusk Monk to step forward, and asked in a lazy tone, "Did you do it?" ”

Well?

Wayne's expression moved slightly, could it be ......

"Yes, that is the mark of the Great Lord of Truth!" I saw that the face of the Dusk Secret Monk who was bound by strips of cloth, and the lips moved, as if the voices of countless people were mixed up.

"What are you used for?"

"Use, used to collect the meaning of killing, condense the source of killing, sacrifice, sacrifice ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the dark yellow cloth strip on the Dusk Secret Monk's body disintegrate, revealing a gap, and then an illusory thin head squeezed out of the gap, glaring at Claire with resentful eyes, "Roar! Blasphemy, bullying, you heretics of the illusory world, dare to control me!? ”

"Oh?" Claire looked at him in surprise, "Are there any fish that have slipped through the net?" ”

Wayne also frowned, staring at the tall and thin figure, "Need help?" ”

"Of course...... No! Claire gave him a seductive look, "Just to show you my newfound abilities." ”

"West!"

The Monk of Dusk struggled and jumped to his feet, strips of cloth scattered around him one after another, and all the illusory heads instantly emerged from his withered body.

It's just that it is obvious that those heads are still under the control of Claire, and after coming out, they did not attack Wayne and Claire, but pounced on the skinny heads one by one, biting frantically.

"Kill you!"

"You shameless bastard!"

"Disgusting butcher ......"

The emaciated head roared, struggling to drive the other heads away, but no amount of resistance to his small confines was to no avail.

"Damn it, you-"

"Puppet Show - Manipulate!"

At this moment, Claire moved her fingers, and countless black silk threads shot out, the threads burrowed into the illusory heads, and the rest of the threads wrapped around the secret monk's body.

Puppet show?

Wayne carefully observed her movements, and under the cover of mental perception, the feedback from those black silk threads was not like the shadow teleportation ability used by Claire before, but closer to the illusory head of the Dusk Secret Monk.

Soul power?

"Obediently, don't move~" Claire licked her lips and raised a finger to hook it, as if teasing, causing the Dusk Secret Monk to let out an inhumane scream.

"You, what did you do?!"

"You? Does it seem that you are also from this world? Why don't you say anything like you anymore? ”

The thin head glared at Claire and Wayne, and shouted in a tone full of resentment, "Don't be complacent, this false world will die sooner or later!" ”

"How long will it take?" Claire pouted, "Forget it, I guess you don't know ...... either"

As soon as the words fell, she raised her hand, and the black silk thread manipulated countless illusory heads to devour the thin head.

"The True Juggernaut will not let you go!!"

A miserable roar echoed across the Leonard, and the vigils around him, looking alert, were relieved to see the head disappear, and continued to clean the deck.

And when Wayne saw this scene, he had a new understanding of Claire's strength in his heart, and even the Director-level Dusk Secret Monk could easily defeat him, and his strength was at least at the ruling level!

Claire waved her hand to disperse the black silk threads, and let the heads return to their bodies to re-tie the tattered strips of cloth, and her bright eyes fell on Wayne, and she smiled charmingly, "Am I good?" ”

"Awesome."

Wayne nodded, looked at her thoughtfully, and after a few seconds of silence, he didn't continue to ask about her strength, but instead asked, "How can someone from the Dusk Sect be on the ship of the Golden Diss Pirates?" ”

He knew that with Claire's nature, he would naturally tell him when he wanted to speak.

If you don't want to...... No way!

"According to that ugly captain, it seems that the Cult of Twilight has made an alliance with them, and this time they came to you on purpose."

"Me?"

"Yes,"

As she spoke, Claire's face changed, and she said pitifully, "If it weren't for the excesses you did to them on Dacman Island before, they wouldn't have been eyeing us...... The victim's family was seriously injured......"

Wayne: "......"

He glanced at Claire's torn clothes, which were already smooth and white, and there were no signs of injury......

"If it weren't for me suddenly remembering how to break through the seal and improve my strength, I'm afraid you would never see me again~"

"Seals?" Wayne was stunned, this is the reason for her strength?

Claire snorted, sighed lightly, and said, "Let's talk about this matter after returning to the theater, it's not something that can be explained clearly in a few simple words." ”

"Okay."

As long as she was willing to speak, Wayne didn't want to seed doubt about her.

Not long after, Ronan returned from the Golden Orchid with someone and said with a little embarrassment: "Sorry captain, first mate, there is not much on that ship, only a few hundred gold pounds have been found......"

"Hmm." Wayne nodded, and said indifferently: "Then divide it and set sail as soon as possible." ”

"Understood, I'll arrange it."

Then, after waiting for a few more moments, after making sure there was no other trouble, he returned to the theater space with Claire, and the Dusk Monks were also brought in.

After the previous episode, Claire feared that something else would slip through the net, so she simply brought it back to the theater space and double-checked it.

“…… Reese, Wayne, you're back? ”

The three girls on the stage sat at the dining table, and when they saw several figures that suddenly appeared, they all stood up.

Pavra looked curiously at the strange people wrapped in strips of cloth, and a little doubt appeared on her face, as if she had seen them somewhere.

"Well, you guys go ahead, Claire and I still have some things to attend to."

Wayne noticed the parchment in front of the three girls, and did not expect that even Pavra, who had studied a little, would follow Tina and Sava to learn Gonzalez when she had nothing to do......

But now was not the time to care about that, he took Claire and the Dusk Monks to the studio on the other side of the stage.

"Can you tell me now?"

"Hmm." Claire waved her hand to make the Dusk Monk crouch in the corner and lean back in her chair, her expression showing a hint of exhaustion, "Actually, I don't have much memory of the seal......

"Forehead ......"

Wayne clasped his hands to his chest and looked at her suspiciously, "Are you sure?" ”

"It's true, in fact, I knew a long time ago that there was a seal on top of my Origin."

Claire's tone was calm, "And while fighting them, a voice suddenly popped into my head...... It was he/she who told me to lift the seal if I didn't want to die. ”

"But after I lifted that seal, I realized that there was not just one seal on top of the Origin, but several layers of things that looked like seals......"

"How many floors?" Wayne frowned slightly, "You mean, you didn't lift all the seals this time?" ”

"Hmm," Claire nodded, and continued, "After the first layer of seals was lifted, the other seals suddenly disappeared again. Then my body had a lot of strength, and a part of my memory. ”

"Memory? What memory? ”

"I remembered that the epoch relics were not obtained from the Eternal Society......"

PS: Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!
