Flames blaze.

All of a sudden, the heavens and the earth were full of "red beards".

Gus shot a throwing knife that accidentally missed the target and flew past Byron's body.

"What do I say, jumping in the air when you are about to fight, giving up your original dodge ability is definitely a taboo among the taboos.

Why don't you people listen?

Anyway, no one stipulates that you can't use the battleship's main gun when you backstab, right? ”

Byron built a pergola by hand.

Looking at his own captain, who was shattered by 500 projectiles, the largest part of his body was swept away by an activated rope.

Hurriedly relieved Bill's [cognitive correction], drank a cup of [Flying Grasshopper], and took a large handful of iron plate squid whiskers handed over by Bruch.

Activated [Rock Sheep Footsteps] and followed.

In the chaotic battlefield, there is also a third-class ship [Nemesis] that has been flooded by the Heroic Spirit.

Few people on the downwind side of the bay people noticed why Edward the Redbeard, who was running for his life, suddenly exploded in mid-air.

But a few pirates on the side of the Bay People saw it clearly.

Seeing Byron, who had a pair of azure eyes and obviously also had Wanmin blood, came to the ship, he hurriedly restrained his men from attacking.

It is only affected by [Cognitive Modification] and [Storm Ring].

Although they felt that the young man seemed familiar, they could not match him with any of the identities in their memories.

"Mr. Good Citizen!"

"Miss Artist!"

Violet, who was in women's clothing, had already pushed away the strange-looking elders and greeted them warmly.

This is the first time that the two have met in their original identities, and although Byron, who has a natural personality, is unwilling to take risks, he still wears the last layer of disguise.

The orphan alliance, which had worked hard to achieve the plan perfectly, smiled at each other and saluted each other.

Violet's ladylike ceremony was elegant and decent, but Byron's appearance of holding a handful of grilled squid in his hand had nothing to do with elegance.

He drank three glasses of blood brew in a row today, which was really a bit excessive.

The side effects are gradually uncontrollable, and you have to eat two more strings of squid to suppress the shock.

"Come on, it's time for us to send this monster on its way once and for all."

Violet took Byron's hand and walked over to Redbeard's wreckage.

Redbeard's bad luck today is not only to ward off the disaster for Byron, but also to test the resurrection rules of the [Hidden Soul Box].

Seeing him die and come back to life so many times.

It has been determined with [Strange Object: Two Dice] that the effect of this black sorcery will only affect the largest piece of corpse.

The sea outside was full of "Redbeard", but only the one in front of him kept most of his vertebrae and half of his skull.

It is also the key to his resurrection!

And after being stabbed in the back by Byron this time, Redbeard's recovery speed was much slower than at the beginning, not even a tenth of the speed in the past.

That's why they still have the leisure to chat here.

[Henchman effect: The better your ability, the more outstanding your achievements, the more important and recognized by your superiors, and the closer you are to the role of 'henchman' in the eyes of others.

When you backstab a superior, the more abilities you get.

And they are not punished by the law within the system. 】

The image of "henchman Bill" is far more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than the last "chef", and the scope of influence is also wider.

The additional bonuses obtained on top of the 32-pound Caron Cannon are naturally stronger.

What's more, it's not a physical or energetic attack in the conventional sense like a pirate attack on Redbeard, unlike the pirates' attacks on Redbeard.

It's a special ability at the level of rules, which can be called - True Damage!

"Are things ready?"

Sure that he still had enough time, Byron gave Violet two skewers of the squid in his hand, and the two of them talked as they ate.

The latter naturally took a bite and praised the good taste.

Then he looked into Byron's eyes and replied with some excitement:

"Although the [Spellbreaker Stone] can't be processed with extraordinary abilities, we use the stupidest hydraulic labor to make things according to your requirements.

The craft is absolutely not said. ”

As he spoke, he patted the traveler's bag on his waist and released a strange-looking thing.

It was a stone cabinet nearly a man tall, with a body consisting of hinges, a large number of nails, and two door coverings forming an approximate humanoid shape.

The front two doors, covered with stone spikes, were open, and there was a small space that was only half a person tall at most.

There is no doubt that this is an iron virgin made of [Spellbreaker Stone]!

It is also a well-known cruel torture instrument in the countries of the Old World.

If the prisoner is placed in the hollow inside the Iron Maiden and the door is slammed shut, the prisoner will be pierced through the whole body by the nails in the door.

Unless the body is as soft as an octopus, there is absolutely no room to live.

Moreover, the material used to create the Iron Maiden is very special.

Whether it is the power of the law of silver or the pirate code, or even its own [spirituality], it will all be shielded by the magic breaking stone.

No supernatural abilities, including black magic, can be activated, and the transcendent is only a relatively strong ordinary person locked up inside.

"Yes, yes, he is worthy of a third-order [craftsman], exactly like what I look like in my blueprints.

I'm satisfied, but I don't know if our Mr. Redbeard is satisfied with his new home.

Byron and Violet looked down at the tattered corpse on the ground, their faces revealing a molded smite.

"Boom"

It can only be said that it is really difficult to go against a ruthless guy like Byron.

Redbeard also felt a downright crisis, and the wreckage wriggled faster and faster.

In the hollow eye socket, a blood-colored eye had already been born, staring at the pair of young men and women standing in front of him.

Crazy ambition, bitter hatred, endless resentment, and regret like being blind

The extreme emotions that erupted from their pupils seemed to turn into flames and burn them all to ashes.

But he didn't have a chance when he was alive, and even less now.

Byron flew up and kicked his body into the Iron Maiden's small space.

Slammed the cabinet door shut, allowing the spikes of the Spellbreaker Stone on it to pierce his tattered whole body in all directions once again.

Then he locked seven heavy locks, also made of Breaking Stone.

Next, as soon as Redbeard recovers, he will be stabbed to death again by the spikes, resurrected, and stabbed to death again.

Always keep him in a state of "death".

And his immortality is not absolute, eternal.

The Blood Sacrifice is required every year, and the number is doubled every year, rather than one person or two.

Theoretically, as long as he is locked up in a place where he absolutely cannot get out, he will not be allowed to perform the ceremony for the next year.

In the end, it will disappear completely!

Of course, if you want to put an end to all the accidents in the coming year, it is not enough to rely on an iron virgin who breaks the magic stone.

They don't have the energy to keep an eye on this guy all the time.

Byron took off the whale oil lantern that had been hanging from his waist.

The wick was lit with a lighter, and a faint green light shone straight through the eye on the crystal lampshade.

A huge gateway to the third level, the Night Country, has opened on the surface of the sea.

According to the information left by the Whale Hunter, the "Land of Night" is a true place of sleep, and anyone who enters it will feel extremely sleepy and will never wake up once they fall asleep.

You must use strong willpower to restrain your sleepiness and find the entrance to the next level of space before you fall asleep.

"Walk you!"

Together, Byron and Violet lifted the heavy stone iron virgin and threw her far into the third layer of the Night Kingdom.

"Poof" sank to the bottom of the sea.

As long as Violet didn't speak, no one could go in and get him out.

They don't know when Redbeard last performed a blood sacrifice ceremony.

For the next few months, as long as a year, he would have to wander left and right between being nailed to death and drowning in the sea.

Liberation cannot be attained until you die completely.

It's never going to be a good experience anyway.

Probably because of Violet, the princess of the Bay People, the relationship here, the heroic spirit that destroyed the [Nemesis] did not attack again, and had already retreated on its own.

This is the end of a great war.

This time.

Knock knock

A strange sound suddenly sounded on the ship.

Byron turned his head to look, but it was his own man-eating shark that had picked up the pitch-black strange thing [Echo Conch] from the sea when he let go of his belly to eat and drink, and was gently tapping the side of the ship with his head.

Reaching out and putting it to his ear, he heard several echoes from the past period:

"The Strait Fleet has reached ten nautical miles beyond Iron Anchor Bay."

"Redbeard, it's almost the appointed time, why didn't you reply as soon as possible?"

"It's been 15 minutes since the agreed time, where the hell is you?

Don't you boast that the position of Overseer is within your reach? Why hasn't the lock of Iron Anchor Bay been opened yet?! ”

"Rubbish! Rubbish! We even helped you kill the [Child Guard], and you repay Your Majesty with such achievements? ”

"The loser is not qualified to make a claim.

By 3 p.m., the day will pass.

Tonight we will directly summon the 'Scourge' to launch a strong attack on Iron Anchor Bay, so you can ask for more blessings when the time comes!" ”

Although Redbeard's own voice is not preserved in the conch, everyone can tell that this is a conversation between him and the liaison officer of the York family.

Hearing this harsher communication, and that ultimatum, the faces of the pirates became solemn again.

Compared to the real enemies outside Anchor Bay, Redbeard is just a mere ghost.

At this time, the sun had set, the "natural disaster" was close at hand, and in front of them, there was still the most difficult hurdle to be overcome.

Plan success or failure, in one fell swoop!
