Chapter 200: Part of the Ritual
After two rounds of shelling, the Queen Anne's Revenge seemed to be in a brief fire vacuum, at which point its hull outlined by dark green sailed completely out of the spirit realm and ran aground on the beach from the side of the ship facing the enemy.
But judging from the sediment piled up in the bow of the ship, it was not difficult to get out of this state with its power, and it took the initiative to rush to the beach only to have a better angle of shooting.
The smoke and golden afterglow cleared in the air, revealing the remnants of the giant black hand that had been continuously bombarded by the artillery.
Its surface was blasted out of countless holes with deep bones, and some of the attacks even directly penetrated the arm more than ten meters long, and the black flesh buds in the pierced wound kept wriggling, but it was difficult to reconnect for a while. The skull and protruding eyeballs on the surface of the arms were swept away in the explosion, leaving only devastated skin that was still dripping with mucus.
Battered, it still stood firmly in the air, its five fingers clenched, as if its complete body hidden in the spirit world still had the strength to fight.
But above it, the two-headed messenger Renette had already identified friend and foe from the attack just now, and continued to fly downward, the other two heads in her hands opening wide open, and swooping down on the black giant.
With another angel on the scene, her strategy of holding back the enemy is no longer applicable, and the next step is her own time to fight back!
Thinking of this, the mysterious messenger's eight blood-red eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of strange emotion.
Underneath one man and one hand, the huge black battleship was fully formed, leaving the spirit realm and entering reality, and the guns on the deck were raised towards the sky, reloading themselves without control, aiming at the black giant hand, and about to launch the next round of artillery bombardment like a golden rain.
Suddenly, the five fingers of the black giant hand that stayed in the air opened, and the skin of the palm cracked a gap as wide as the palm, and among them, an eye containing endless evil thoughts opened and looked down.
It looked at Klein, who held up "Grossell's Travels", and Angel, who subconsciously looked away even if he was sheltered by angels, for a moment, and finally looked at the "Queen Anne's Revenge" who ruined his good deeds.
On the black deck, Anne, dressed in a simple white dress and with fluttering black hair, held her head high, and her golden eyes glared back fearlessly.
At this moment, time and space seemed to stand still.
With his huge eyes closed, the black giant hand that had his five fingers retracted turned around without the slightest hesitation and flew towards the top of the cliff.
It withstood the roars and gnaws of Renette's two heads, flew back to the top of the cliff, grabbed Jacks, the unconscious demigod of the "Rose School" lying on the ground, and then floated backwards into the sky like an invisible giant retracting its arm, gradually disappearing into the slightly dim clouds.
Nor did it glance at Zatwin on the beach.
Anne Gustav withdrew her gaze to the sky, and the guns on the deck lowered their muzzles, no longer showing the nervous appearance of preparing for fire.
She could feel that the giant hand had the strength of an angel, and it might even surpass Sequence 2, but because the main body didn't have time to cross a great distance to descend here, she could only use some method to transmit part of the power, so the strength she showed was not as good as her own.
The other party retreated, only because the purpose of the trip could not be achieved, not because he was afraid of her entanglement.
Even if you enter the spirit realm to track down the other party, you may not be able to win the next battle......
In the sky, Renette Tinicol, whose four heads returned to her hands and her body returned to normal size, had a similar idea and did not enter the spirit realm, tracking down the black giant hand that took away the demigods of the "Rose School".
She looked at the girl in the white dress on the pitch-black deck, and seemed to recognize the angel, but the eight blood-red eyes only stayed for a moment, and they were all focused on Zatwin on the beach.
Surrounded by all kinds of eyes, this ragged demigod who was not very lucky today swallowed involuntarily.
He suddenly found that the situation on the battlefield seemed to be reversed in an instant.
Angel and Klein also made this discovery, and their eyes no longer looked at the demigods of the "Rose School" who had chased them all the way, but turned into scrutiny and evaluation.
Especially Angel, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind that she hadn't thought about before and didn't dare to think about:
Can this demigod be promoted as his own promotion ceremony after digesting the "Pain" potion and gathering the "Despair" potion materials?
This is a "complete" demigod, different from the runaway night watchman in the depths of the mines on Para Island, different from the "King of the North" who has some demigod abilities in "Grossell's Travels", and is a real, lively high-sequence extraordinary!
Her gaze gradually took on murderous intent.
"Smack."
Behind Angel, Klein snapped his fingers, and a bright yellow flame scurried up beside Zatwin, and in the next moment, the flames soared, and Angel burst out of it, condensed a giant sword composed of flames and lava with both hands, and slashed at Zatwin's head.
"Apostle of Desire", "Sword of Magma"!
Zatwin's pupils shrank, he tried his best to defend against the attacks of the "Queen Anne's Revenge" and the headless messenger, looking for a chance to escape, or even surrender, but he didn't expect that the first attack was a sequence 5 that was still fleeing under his own men just now, and had no power to fight back!
His light brown eyes flashed with determination, and his hands were raised.
Then it quickly "flashed" to a puddle in the distance of the beach.
If Zatwin had been lucky when the terrifying black battleship had just appeared and had not yet attacked, he had already confirmed that the angel who was surrounded by a majestic aura and made people dare not look directly was the "arbiter" who had given blessings remotely and "forbidden possession" before.
With the help of an angel, let alone Sequence 5, even if Sequence 7 raises the butcher's knife in front of him, he will only have to flee for his life!
"Lord Sea...... Why didn't He take me! ”
At this moment, in addition to the thought of fleeing for his life, Zatwin's heart also had a trace of despair and resentment towards the leader of the "Rose School".
His eyes were on the puddle farther away, and he was about to launch the "Mirror Flash" again and flee from it.
A demigod wants to escape, but not many can stay......
His spirit swelled up, and his figure flashed, but he stayed in place, not changing his position.
My ...... "Mirror Flash" won't work?
Zatwin first looked at his left palm, which was wearing the "parasite" glove, and found that the black glove was gone, revealing the light brown skin underneath, and then looked back, and was not surprised to see the glove appear on the right hand of "Gelman Sparrow" chasing him, his flat right hand had just been lowered, and the glove's glittering dark light had not completely faded.
His "mirror flash" was stolen.
……
Putting down his gloved right hand, Angel was pleasantly surprised to find that he had successfully stolen the important ability that the other party relied on to escape, "Mirror Flash".
Although it is unclear exactly what the potion sequence this glove represents, she also knew how to use these items and their limitations before Crane used the "Tinder" glove to steal the contamination from the "Secret Puppet Master" trait, and even saw the use of "Dream Stealer" Mobet's abilities during the battle with the "King of the North".
So, after putting on the magical item she picked up from the beach and leaving the opponent's hand on her own, she immediately used "stealing" on Zatwin in the distance, and with the help of her knowledge of the enemy and a certain luck, she chose the one she needed the most.
For the next 2 hours, she will be able to jump between any "mirrors" around her that reflect her figure as if she were using her own ability, which is not as life-saving as the "Mirror Double", but it can be used at shorter intervals and farther distances, which is more helpful in combat.
As the "Bitter Master", Zatwin will lose this ability for a maximum of 12 hours, of course, the level of the sequence will affect the length of this time, but in any case, in this battle, he will not have the opportunity to use "Mirror Flash".
Previously, the Seal Gauntlet of "Betrayal" had robbed him of his ability to "ghostize", and now that he had lost the only way to escape through the mirror flash, Zatwin had no way to get out of the beach quickly.
As if recognizing his fate, the demigod of the "Rose School" slowly turned around, a serious expression on his emaciated cheeks, and a determined gaze in his sunken eye sockets.
Since there is no way to escape, let this self-defeating guy pay the price......
What's more, he had already discovered that Renette Tinicol, who was floating in the sky, and the "arbiter" angel standing on the ship, did not seem to have any intention of stepping forward to help.
If it's just against her, maybe, I still have a chance to live?
He felt a glimmer of hope in his despair.
In front of Zatwin, Angel, who had reverted back to his original appearance and was wearing a not-so-fitting costume, was holding a "Good Luck" pistol in one hand and a magma sword in the other, and his figure disappeared in an instant, and then came behind the opponent through the "mirror jump" and slashed down with a sword.
Zatwin, who had been prepared for a long time, had his limbs and muscles skyrocketed, his skin hardened, and he single-handedly blocked Angel's right hand holding the magma sword with the power of a living corpse, causing the giant sword to fly towards the sky, and the other hand condensed the corrosive power and punched it away, and at the same time, the rich cold air under his feet surged in all directions, immediately freezing the large and small puddles on the beach into hard ice.
In the cold, Angel's body stagnated, and she was immediately hit in the abdomen by Zatwin, and the dark green toxin immediately spread to her whole body, eroding her whole person into a black wooden stick less than 20 centimeters in length.
Angel, who used his stand-in to dodge a blow, appeared from behind Zatwin, raised the "Good Luck" pistol in his left hand, and aimed at the opponent's waist and abdomen at random, and was about to pull the trigger.
There is only one bullet left in the revolver, the "Disintegration Ray", as long as it hits the opponent's body, the power of the "Calamity" can kill them instantly, and there is no need to aim at the vital point.
And in order to ensure the power, she even broke the hammer in advance, to use the "good luck blow" to amplify the power of the bullet!
Aimed at the muzzle of the black hole, Zatwin's spiritual sense reminded him like madness, and the "living corpse" demigod opened Angel's left hand holding the revolver at a speed that surprised him, and at the same time, he made a move that surprised Angel -
I took off the black glove she was wearing on her right hand!
This is his real purpose, the real escape route!
After getting the black "parasite" gloves, Zatwin did not hesitate at all, stood in place and put the gloves back on his hands, this glove designed to be used by both hands seemed to have no thoughts of "betrayal" at the moment, and it was tightly attached to his skin, feeling warm, like another layer of human skin, completely different from the usual coldness.
Completely different?
Zatwin's heart tightened, and he immediately used his own "mirror flash" stored in the "parasite" glove, only to find that nothing had happened.
On the contrary, he has countless extraordinary abilities in his brain that he can use skillfully.
"Psychic Piercing", "Filthy Words", "Lava Fireball", "Twisted", "Bribe", ......
All kinds of strange and practical abilities flashed through his mind, but there was no "mirror flash" that he needed most.
The last thing that stuck in Zatwin's mind was a magical item he had memorized when he was reading the enemy's information before the battle.
"Wriggling Hunger ......"
This Gelman ...... No, Angelica Thatch, she deliberately stole my abilities with her right hand, in fact, wearing the "parasite" on her left hand and the "wriggling hunger" that can disguise her appearance, on her right hand?
Did she guess I'm going to snatch the gloves and get out of here?
The thoughts in his mind drifted one by one, and in the face of Angel's raised pistol, Zatwin, who had no ability to escape, opened his mouth and let out a roar full of despair:
“……”
His last scream, which pierced his eardrums and hurt the spirit, was silenced by the silent screams of the blonde red-eyed head that suddenly appeared next to him.
A gray light mixed with dark red penetrated his chest at the same time, shooting hundreds of meters away, like a slender blade, sinking into the rock wall of the cliff.
……
Looking at the demigod sitting on the ground kneeling on the ground in front of him, his robe hanging like a strip of cloth, and the only intact item on his body was the "wriggling hunger" demigod he had just snatched, Angel breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate at the same time, but also feeling a little sorry for the other party.
He suffered the "betrayal" of the seal, kept his hands because he needed to capture himself and Crane alive, and missed the opportunity to escape under various bad lucks, and was finally abandoned by his boss under the watchful eyes of an angel and a demigod......
All kinds of unfavorable factors made this demigod not even exert half of his strength, and fell under the damage of the "Disintegration Ray".
Of course, it also paid a lot of price......
Looking at the "Good Luck" revolver on the ground, which was already in a half-melted state and slowly precipitating extraordinary properties, Angel didn't care about the pain of his 3,300 pounds, and quickly took out containers containing various extraordinary materials in his pocket, pulled them with invisible silk threads, wrapped them with the spreading spirituality, floated and merged beside him, and finally loaded them into a glass vial.
There was no earth-shattering movement, no dazzling light, and these materials worth tens of thousands of pounds fused together between Angel and Zatwyn to form a small vial of liquid as red as blood.
This is the "despair" potion.
Zatwin, who barely opened his eyes, watched this scene blankly, only to feel that his thoughts were becoming more and more stiff and sluggish, and the location of his chest hit by the "disintegration ray" began to disintegrate into wisps of gray dust from the inside out, as if it was a corpse that had been passed for thousands of years, carried away by the breeze blowing from the sea to the beach.
She ...... Are you taking potions?
"That angel and his giant ship didn't intervene directly, and the traitor Renette only offered the necessary help because of some kind of ritual, the ritual of promotion to Sequence 4?
"I, no, the whole attack, was just part of her ritual?"
As if he had guessed something, Zatwin's eyes became more and more desperate, but the state of disintegration had spread to his chest and abdomen, and he could only watch Angel take the prepared potion, bring it to his mouth, and raise his head to drink it all.
No, I'm not desperate at all......
Struggling to convince himself, Zatwin closed his eyes in cold despair.
