The Banshees of Selen are monsters roaming the River Styx, they can conjure their enemies in a moving manner, but their real body is a monster with a mouth full of fangs, a face covered with markings, blue and yellow vertical pupils, a ring of sharp spines on the head, fins on the waist and ribs, and a fish on the bottom, and they are fierce by nature.

The River Styx is a must for the souls of the undead to cross the river, and the Banshee of Selen likes to inhabit the Styx area and wait for the undead to cross the river. People who have done a lot of evil in life and have a foul soul after death are the most likely to be attracted to the river by the banshee's song, but they are not the favorite food of the Selenes, they love the pure spirit that strayed into the river Styx or the innocent soul who has been wronged.

Legend has it that as long as a Celestian Banshee has eaten enough of ninety-nine pure spirits or ninety-nine innocent souls, she can leave Styx and regain her freedom to go to another dimension to be reborn when she gets the permission of the ferryman of the Lord of Styx.

But this is just a legend after all, and it may just be a story made up by some well-intentioned people to explain the actions of the Banshee of Selen.

Singing is the most cunning weapon they possess.

Different subjects hear differently.

Longing for the lover to listen to the lingering admiration, longing for freedom to listen to the joy of the sea and the sky, longing for the power to listen to the majesty of thousands of people on the ground.

The singing of this effect is deadly, especially for half-breed crews who have been ostracized all their lives, sailors who have not been protected by underwater rings.

The eyes lose focus, the brain is empty, and the picture you see is the life that your heart desires but dare not dare to want, full of bright future.

Suddenly, the Dawnbreak shone brightly, and the Ilia wand fell and struck the hull with the sound of a bell, a dull and powerful echo that woke up some of the sailors who had already begun to trance.

The ring in his hand has been transmitting coldness to Mike. A few days ago, he and Ilya were called to the store manager's cabin, and according to the store manager at the time, before they reached the Thirteen Skulls, they would encounter a monster, an evil monster that was good at seducing people with their songs. The store manager told Mike that he must put the ring on when the time comes, so that he can avoid control, and he only needs to stand in the back and stay awake, and the store manager, Ilya, the three bounty hunters, and the rest of the staff will take care of the rest.

Mike, who thought that everyone would wear rings, found that when the song sounded, no less than ten crew members were controlled, and their movements were vain and their eyes were blank, and then Mike realized that they were not wearing the same ring as him, and what surprised him even more was that none of the rest of the companions who were wearing rings uncontrollably took the initiative to wake them up.

Just as Mike was about to remind, Elijah made the first move, and she summoned her wand to cast a spell to bring the sailors back to consciousness. When Ilya was done, she subconsciously looked at the merchant, but the other party did not give her any reply, and Ilya bit her lip to focus on the banshee.

The discordant sound of bells disrupted the singing, and the singing came to an abrupt end, and the surroundings returned to calm in an instant. But a moment of hypocritical tranquility was just the time for the monster to tear off its own vicious mask, and a shrill cry rang out from all directions, it was anger, it was dissatisfaction, and it was the ferocity that followed.

The preparations for the meal were brutally interrupted, which made the Banshees of Selen extremely angry, "Knock Knock Knock", as if the sound of something hitting the hull of the ship, the sound became louder and denser, and the Banshees began to attack the Daybreak.

Barubak grabbed the fence and jumped onto the deck, his cold axe in his hand, hungry for killing, and he roared, "Little cubs, take your weapons, these stinky women are going to board!"

The sword was unsheathed, the bowstring was full, the bounty hunters and sailors were ready to fight, and with a "snap", a pair of large hands like frog paws rested on the edge of the ship, and a pair of large blue and yellow eyes appeared in the mist.

Whoosh!

Needless to say, the feathered arrow in Laura's hand shot away, and the sound of the arrow tipping into the flesh could be heard by everyone, and the banshee screamed in pain, like a trumpet for war, and the banshees poured onto the boat one after another like dumplings. With a flash of the sword, Pierce struck the enemy group alone, and in a scream, the blood of the dark blue banshee spilled all over the ship's board. The swing of the double-edged axe carries the momentum of a tornado, and the dwarven warrior is like a meat grinder, quickly harvesting enemies on the battlefield.

In addition to the bounty hunters, the sailors are equally proud, wielding their weapons to move forward bravely, without backing or looking back, because each of them firmly believes that they will have the support of their companions behind them, and the tacit cooperation gives them the upper hand.

The battle situation is turning one side down, just when many people's hearts began to flood with the idea that "the Banshee of Selen is nothing more than this", the Banshees of the Siege Ship retreated at the same time, and some even jumped into the air, their fangs rushed out one by one with blood-red long tongues, and the tongues of the Banshees were covered with barbs, and the movement was flexible, and the direction of attack changed very quickly, and a roll and a collection would definitely cut off a large piece of your flesh and blood, and you would bleed to death in a short time without chasing you.

The switch of attack startled everyone, and they immediately dodged in a hurry.

The long tongue stretched out to Mo San, and he barely dodged it, but the tongue immediately came from behind him, and the tip of the rifle hit the door directly, and Mo San missed the opportunity to swing his sword to block.

"Wow"

Sparks flew, and a sword stood in front of Mo Sang, as usual, their eldest brother always appeared at the most timely time, Ace reminded: "Be careful Mo Sang, this monster has a very flexible tongue. ”

Before he could answer, Mo Sang was vigorously pushed away, Ace was also light, his vision was slightly dark, a huge body appeared, and the big axe in his hand accurately cut off the tongue that came from the blind spot of the two, Balubak looked at the two and said: "Stinky boy, look at the point, don't die on Lao Tzu's boat, bad luck!"

The two found that Barubak had received a blow to the back in order to save them, it was the tongue that Ace had just blocked, the wound was not small, and the bones were visible, but his face was full of indifference, and his eyes were full of warlike intent, obviously killing crazy.

Ace: "Captain, you don't need to save us. ”

Balubak's eyes kicked widely, and Hula was slapped on the other party's head: "Don't fucking fart, concentrate on killing monsters, and finally tell you again, don't die, bad luck!"

After saying that, he raised his axe and shouted and rushed towards the Banshee of Selen, Ace and Moissan, both saw something in each other's eyes, they also shouted, and followed Balubak to kill it.

If Gerak is a meat grinder on the battlefield, then Barubak is the god of war on the battlefield on the ship at this time. His eyes were red, and the blade of the axe in his hand was getting faster and faster, and even the Banshee of Selen had not been able to kill him as fast as he had landed. The presence of Barubak boosted morale, and everyone became more and more courageous and the fighting spirit became higher and higher.

That's it, that's it, you damned monsters, do you still recognize me? Five years ago, your failure to bury me in this sea will be the biggest mistake of your life, because today, five years later, I will let you all die in Huangquan, and not one of you will be left behind to become the undead under my axe! Cut your flesh and blood, gnaw your souls, so that my former companions can leave your filthy bodies and return to freedom!

The roar of his heart gave Barubak an inexhaustible source of strength, and he was going to clear the sea today!

......

...

Ilya is holding a magic wand, the battle situation is very optimistic, the death toll is zero, the number of wounded is also zero, Captain Barubak is really like a god, he didn't even suffer a little injury, the bounty hunters are superb in combat, the sailors take care of each other, everyone is moving forward, the Selian Banshee is retreating, the three bounty hunters use tacit cooperation to kill the enemy while covering the surrounding sailors, sure enough, the addition of the three has made the combat power of the Daybreak have a qualitative improvement.

Mike stays behind himself, store manager...... The store manager ignored it, his side was about to win a big victory, Ilya felt that the tension began to subside, and he slowly began to relax, this is exactly the result that Ilya wanted, no one sacrificed, won the victory, everyone was alive and well, very good, Ilya, you successfully protected everyone.

Ilya's whole body began to lose strength, and the glass wand in his hand began to weigh down. There's no need to use magic anymore, it's over.

......

Suddenly, a chill hit his fingertips, and a voice sounded in his ears.

"Ilya, I'll leave it to you next. ”

Like waking up from a big dream, Ilya's back was wet with cold sweat, the scene in front of her began to distort and blur, the sound of victory was gradually replaced by a roar, the corpses of the banshees on the ground disappeared, and one by one began to stand up again, the original monster corpses turned into human shapes and blood, and the blue blood of the banshees all over the ground turned into hot blood red, and the gentle singing began to come from the side.

When? When was he seduced by the banshee's singing? What did I see and hear fake? Where did I start to be fake? What about the sailors? What about Mike? What about the store manager?

In the real picture, a pile of Selene Banshees gathered together on the deck is splitting the corpses of the dead sailors, Pierce is lying on the ground covered in blood, unconscious, Laura's right hand is pulled open by a large gap, and there is no strength to pull the bowstring again, and Gerk's double-edged axe is dragging to the ground, each swing is overdrawing the last of his remaining strength.

The living sailors formed a circle, and in the center was the bloody Balubak.

Ace roared: "Protect the captain, don't be afraid, grab your weapons, we'll kill one of the monsters!"

In just one sentence, another sailor was swept away by the long tongue, and he didn't even have the strength to scream.

Moisan stood side by side with Ace, one eye was scratched and he couldn't open it, he looked like a dying beast.

Barubak said in a hoarse voice, "Go, go...... Go away while they eat me......"

Every word tugged at the wound, the blood flowed profusely, and the massive amount of blood loss made him look a lot thinner.

None of the sailors retreated, and no one fled.

Stinky boys, little cubs, bastards, bastards, these calls are simply not too light for the sailors on the ship, too good, the captain behind him called them every time in a different way, changed his tricks to scold them, but this captain, from beginning to end, did not point at them once, even if it was accidental.

Barubak never called them half-breeds.

The thoughts were confused, the scene was even more chaotic, and Ilya was at a loss.

Why is this happening? I interrupted the song from the beginning, I protected everyone from the beginning, how could I make such a mistake?

Wait, what about the store manager?

Looking around, there was no merchant in sight.

So, what about Mike?

Ilya froze.

A Celestial Banshee was chewing flesh in its mouth, and a ring appeared in its mouth from time to time, holding a boy in its hand, blood streaming from the boy's hand, and only one finger left on the palm. The banshee looked at Ilya as if smiling, then leaped and disappeared into the sea with the boy.

"No...... No! No! No! Mike !!!!!!"

The mournful cry was swallowed up by darkness, and despair began to spread across the sea.

......

...

Extremely deep at the bottom of the sea, without light or sound.

The merchant received an invitation, and he was forcibly transferred to this place not long after the battle began.

Every place in each habitat of the Selene must have a nest, a nest that will automatically give birth to a banshee and give it life.

A mollusced creature entwined around a sea cliff at the bottom of the ocean was full of wriggling holes, and every once in a while, the openings shrank and opened, and a newborn Celerian Banshee discharged from the hole like a cannonball.

But no one would have expected that there would be an army of undead in the depths of the sea, let alone that there would be soul seekers ruling them.

The Soul Reaper is the first level to enter the River Styx. As the Styx of the realm of the undead, the living are not allowed to pass through this place under normal circumstances, and the Soul Seeker exists for this purpose. Any living person with a physical body who wants to enter the River Styx will be attacked by the Soul Reapers, but they will not kill you, to be precise, the Soul Seekers will only kill your body, and your soul can safely enter the River Styx through its block.

The Soul Reaper is even more unlikely to appear in this world than the Banshee of Selene, because it is a monster that only exists and can only exist at the entrance to the River Styx.

I thought that the Holy See was only interested in the River Styx, but I didn't expect that this group of madmen would build a bridge between the bottom of the sea and the River Styx, artificially creating another entrance to the River Styx, so that they could remove the obstacles from the original entrance to the River Styx.

The Holy See really wanted to cross the river.

The merchant didn't have time to think about it, and the soul seeker, dressed in reef armor in a spirit state, pointed at him with his chin, and a large number of undead began to rush towards him, and the undead naturally had a yearning for living beings, and a living person suddenly appeared in front of them, and the temptation could be imagined.

However, the merchant did not panic, and he even made a "small gesture" to send a reminder to Ilya who remained on the ship.

The undead are not beings that can be touched in the dimensional space of the human world, and if they need to be compared, they are beings of higher dimensions, which means that they can touch the existence of this world, and this world cannot interfere with them.

The sweet creatures bewitched all the undead present, and they couldn't wait to enter the merchant's body, but the merchant maintained a generous attitude towards this, and did not make a trace of resistance, and the undead entered the merchant's body unimpeded.

It didn't take much time for the small body in the ocean floor to contain all the undead, and the owner of the body was not unusual.

What is the main reason why he was transferred here and imprisoned, the merchant probably understands that it is nothing more than that his existence is special and he was discovered by the soul seeker at the first time. Of course, now the merchant can forcibly break the captivity and return to the ship, but before he can do so, he must first dispose of the banshee's lair, and then place the undead and soul seekers in his body, otherwise even if he returns to the ship, these guys will follow him desperately.

With Ilya, Gerrak, Pierce, and Laura on board, there shouldn't be any major problems.

The merchant found himself seemingly trusting of these men, which was rare.

The nest squirmed, and a new batch of Selian banshees were ejected, and they also rushed to the merchants for the first time, and the newborn banshees were in a state of hunger, how could they let go of the food in front of them.

The fangs struck, and the merchant reached out and grabbed the banshee's throat, and with a slight twist, he took the life of the banshee, who was desperate for meat. The remaining banshees didn't care about the death of their companions, and their hunger prevented them from caring about these "details", but sometimes the details always mattered.

The merchant sideways grabbed the tail of the banshee who failed to attack, and smashed the banshee in his hand as a weapon to the other rushing Selian banshees, the sea resistance was like a void in front of the merchant, and under the seemingly light shake, the collision between the banshee and the banshee's flesh exploded into a blood flower, and after three or two strokes, the Selian banshee was all solved, and only half of the fishtail was left in the merchant's hand.

Once you've got rid of the banshee, the next step is the lair.

The merchant threw away the fishtail, tore his hands apart, and the deep seabed was torn apart by force, and a space seemed to be inflated as if an air bag had been expanded, and with a flick of his fingertips, the banshee's lair was deflated, and the vitality passed quickly, and the body was dry as if all the structures in the body had been drained, leaving only a thin layer of skin.

The merchant folded his hands, and the sea returned to its place, washing away the thin layer of skin on the cliff. All that's left is to get rid of the undead and soul seekers.

Without waiting for the soul seeker to attack, the merchant's right hand suddenly plunged into his body, and the surface of his body was dented but not a trace of blood flowed. Groping for something with a twist of his wrist, the merchant slowly pulled out a lantern from his chest, a lantern that glowed blue.

The undead who had just entered the merchant's body were called by the lantern and left the merchant's body one after another, entering the light in an orderly manner. The Soul Reaper knelt on one knee in front of the lantern, his neck hanging almost at a deformed angle, in a respectful gesture.

After all the undead entered the lantern, the light of the lantern became brighter, and the merchant shook the lantern, and a crack appeared behind the soul seeker, which was a crack that unfolded directly in the sense of the existence of the space itself. The Soul Reaper stood up, his head bowed and retreating towards the spatial rift.

Just as it was about to end, the whole deep sea suddenly moved.

The merchant looked up at the sea in the far distance, and had a bad feeling.

......

...

Mike's abduction left Elijah unthinkable, and she stood still, her eyes blank.

"Ilya !!!!!!"

A huge roar resounded through the Daybreak, and even the Banshee of Selen, who was eating and preparing for the next round of attacks, diverted her attention and looked at the human curiously.

Ace looked at Elijah with an extremely determined look, and she saw two words in the depths of the other person's eyes—trust.

This Ilya was a little clearer.

Es: "Ilya, are you sober? Cast a spell on my ring and I'll bring Mike back. He grabbed Mo Sang's collar again and said, "Next you are the eldest brother, take care of them." ”

Then, without hesitation, without waiting for everyone's reaction, Ace fell into the pitch-black sea alone.

......

...

The cold sea water flooded his limbs, draining the temperature of his body in an instant, and under the drive of the Selene Banshee, Mike was constantly diving, and under the squeezing of the sea, he could feel the air in his lungs leaking out uncontrollably, or it could be because his body was already under the control of the Selene Banshee.

Faced with the approach of death, the young Mike behaved unusually calm. "Death" is already an old friend of his, and he has passed by each other many times, and the way of getting along with each other is very familiar. Michael thought that after meeting the store manager, after meeting the little man and his companions, after meeting Elijah, and then after meeting everyone on the Daybreak, he would become afraid of death, but he didn't, and Mike was able to face death more calmly.

I've enjoyed it and experienced it.

It feels like home, it feels like a friend, it's really good, it's better than any time I've ever imagined it, all of this is what I shouldn't have, it's the encounter with the store manager that brought Mike all this, be content.

The eye socket is hot.

This warmth is so noticeable in the case of cold all over the body.

It's seawater, right? Mike thought, well, let's just think it's seawater.

Be content, Mike, be content.

......

However, I still want to hear the store manager call me "Mike" again, I still want to go to Uptown with Elijah again, I want to play the knight on a combined war horse with Ace and Mossan again, and I want to do many, many things with everyone, more laughter, more happiness, more warmth.

I, the antique clerk, Mike, wanted more.

Am I being too greedy, O God?

Mike closed his eyes.

Before losing sight.

He saw a figure.

It was slowly swimming towards him.

......

...

Ace is a half-breed, and he didn't know what these three words meant at first, until his mother was beating him up with a group of adults protecting him, and he realized that the word "half-blood" meant alien and disgusted in the eyes of others.

He once asked his mother where his father was, but every time his mother always smiled softly and said, "Your father has gone to a distant place, and little Ace must grow up obediently before he can go to his father in the future." ”

The young Ace was convinced of this.

Until the mother also went to a distant place.

On a thunderstorm night, when her mother died on the road, little Ace found her, and found the group of humans who were disgusted with her mother's corpse and would even spit on her mother's death.

Under the rain, little Ace found that his mother, who had been saying that he was not hungry, was so thin.

The human mother gave birth to the non-human self.

His father is a foreign race in the mouth of adults.

Since then, Ace has been a man.

He snatched bones from wild dogs, he picked up rotten apples from the garbage heaps, and he grew up in the eyes of people like knives.

This was the only time he thanked his alien father for giving him a body stronger than human.

Mother is a good woman, if you can't protect her in the hands of humans, then don't fall in love with her, let alone let your mother give birth to herself.

Because of this idea, Ace, who grew up, reminded himself all the time that he should keep working hard and protect himself and the people around him no matter what.

So Ace protected Mosan, Tigra, Kendi, Mogos, and later all of them.

Since they are not welcome on the human continent, let's go to the sea, and the sea treats all living beings equally.

That's what people of mixed race thought at the time.

Then they meet a strange captain, a captain with a horrified face. The captain would scold them, beat them, and rub their heads with those big hands, but this way of getting along made them extremely happy.

By the way, and that kid, Mike.

Ace liked the face he blushed when he played games, Ace liked the face he didn't dislike when he sat on his back, Ace liked the face when he was slightly embarrassed to introduce his dwarven friends to him, and Ace liked the face he threw at him when he went to war.

His first human captain, Ace is willing to defend to the death.

His first human friend, Ace, was willing to save his life.

So, here he comes.

Ace stabbed his sword into the back of the Banshee, and when the Banshee let go of her hand, she quickly brought the ring in her hand to Mike, and the magic wrapped around the ring provided Mike with a shield, and slowly ascended with him.

The banshee came back to her senses and stuck her tongue around Ace, her claws sinking deep into his body.

His mission has been accomplished, Mike will be rescued, his companion Ilya will definitely be protected, and the captain will definitely survive if he is so strong.

The wound inflicted by the Banshee was bleeding out, and before the blood was about to obscure his vision, Ace opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say a few last words to Michael.

The magic brought Mike back to consciousness, and in his blurred vision, he saw a man sinking in a field of blood, surrounded by a crowd of banshees.

The other party seemed to be saying something.

But Mike didn't have the strength to tell.

He fell into a deep sleep again.
