Chapter 177 I Said It Was Just an Accident
Chapter 177 I said it was just an accident...
Wayne stared in the direction of the church deep in Duckman Island, "I want to take a look."
The four pyramids gathered murderous intent, sacrificing an entire island of Kermans, mysterious alchemy runes, and those weird bandaged men with strength comparable to the director level. This combination meets the conditions for the use of that alchemy circle. ——What the hell could be crawling out of that!
From the time he was in Custer City State, with the help of the power of the panel, he knew that there were too many unknown and terrifying things in this weird world.
In the past, he could forget about things that he couldn't touch, but now, as long as he sees or hears something, he will find a way to understand it clearly.
For example, this time the bandage monster, the eyeless monster, and the alchemy circle passed down from the so-called Forbidden Era according to Claire.
One is strength, and the other is testimony. After all, his goal is to become the uncrowned king of this world!
"Then, then I'll accompany you!" Claire waved behind her to signal Willen to take people into the cabin. She walked to Wayne's side and held his arm. "I just happened to be curious about who is so proficient. Such a magic circle."
Wayne turned to look at Claire. What he saw was a flawless face and a pair of charming and warm eyes...
"What's wrong?"
"without."
Wei En looked around calmly, without saying any more words of rejection, but he sighed in his heart.
The moment he saw Claire, his mind flashed back to the days when the two met until now. At that time, even if he was beaten to death, he would not have thought that when he finally left the city of Custer in "embarrassment", he accompanied her She will be by my side...
Claire smiled charmingly, with a touch of tenderness flashing in her eyes. She did not speak again, but turned her head to look at Darkman Island, which was gradually getting away. She really wished it could stay like this.
While the two stood in silence at the stern of the ship, Ronan in the cockpit was sweating anxiously and kept shouting to Bosun Willen, asking him to quickly lead people to put away or throw away the heavy objects on the ship.
"Quickly notify Winters at the bottom of the boat and ask him to lower the lever and open all the valves!"
"Damn it Stefan, can you throw away all those bottles and cans? I can hear the sound of them breaking from here!"
"quick……"
Although he started the steam engine immediately, the Ronan was still relatively close when Darkman Island caused vibrations in the surrounding sea.
As time went by, a thick layer of clouds slowly enveloped the sky over Duckman Island, as if a gray boulder was pressing down, making the four colorful lights on the island appear brighter.
The increasingly intense vibrations spread out around Darkman Island, and the sea surface seemed to be stirred by a giant beast, causing waves.
While the waves were surging, the aberrations under the sea became violent. One after another, they jumped out of the sea and chased the ships that were escaping in panic around them, as if their turbid and bloodthirsty eyes foreshadowed their death. .
Fortunately, the Ronan rushed out of the coastline immediately with the power of its steam engine. In less than two minutes, it rushed from the shallow water area at the port into the deep sea area, and was weakened by the waves.
But compared with the Ronan, other wooden sailboats are not so lucky.
Except for a few three-masted sailboats that responded quickly, almost all others were hit by the huge waves on the pier, and the hulls of some ships were even instantly disintegrated. Sailors or pirates continued to fall into the sea, attracting the excited and rioting deep-sea aberrations on the surrounding seafloor to swarm towards them.
"Roar--"
Those terrifying deep-sea aberrations with slender fish bodies and sarcomas shot out tendrils of flesh from their bodies, entangled the people who fell into the water, and opened their huge mouths full of sharp fangs to bite and devour them. .
"Help!"
"Run away quickly. If you can't escape, everyone will die here!"
"Damn it, why did it become like this!?"
In the face of such a horrific disaster, even extraordinary beings are like ants and can only run away in despair.
But the entire Darkman Island is surrounded by sea, and there are countless aberrations lurking under the sea. They know very well that if they cannot escape by boat, they may be left here forever.
"It's all the red hair's fault. If it weren't for him, this would never have happened!"
Blame me?
When Wei En heard such shouts, he glanced at the damaged ships and people who fell into the water, and then turned his attention to the alchemy circle again.
Don't say it wasn't him, even if it was really because of him that this disaster happened, so what?
Click!
At this time, there was lightning and thunder in the dark clouds, and streaks of silver-white lightning cut through the darkness and landed on Duckman Island.
To be precise, it fell on those pyramids, wrapping a layer of silver-white electric flowers around the four light pillars, and converged towards the church in the center.
oh?
When Wei En saw this scene, he secretly guessed that these lightning bolts were also part of the effect of the alchemy circle?
At the same time, the feedback from his mental perception became clearer and clearer, and he also noticed that the frequency of the body dances of the three bandaged monsters gradually increased, as if they were about to complete the ritual of the alchemy circle.
"Kill, die!"
"...Great Lord of Truth, please send down your gift and give truth to the false world!"
Countless illusory and weird sounds mixed together, resounding around Darkman Island. The light pillar on the pyramid instantly dissipated, and the strange rune patterns on it were extinguished one by one. The silver-white tower became dim, leaving only the dissipation of power. The ruins after the end.
But above the church, a huge ball of seven-colored light condensed, and bolts of lightning cut through the clouds to connect with it, injecting new power into it.
Immediately afterwards, the colorful ball of light began to fall downwards, melting the dilapidated church below without any stagnation, all the way down from the top of the tower, and slowly fell into the deep and dark pit.
The dazzling light disappeared—
Suddenly, Duckman Island fell silent!
The surrounding waves, the roaring sea, the sweeping wind, the thunder and lightning, the fleeing ships, the frightened and desperate sailors or pirates... seemed to be frozen, and there was no sound.
And the three skinny weirdos wrapped in cloth seemed to have sparkle in their empty eyes, filled with ecstasy and excitement, as if they felt the presence of the Lord of Truth in their mouths.
"Ho ho - only killing will lead to the truth forever!"
[You are within the influence of the alchemy circle. Affected by the unknown source of power, the gears of time have slowed down a bit! Evaluation: Here comes a big one...Special rewards: Survival Points +100, Origin +5, Spirit Level +5, Resilience Level +5. 】
When this bloody message appeared in Wei En's mind, he realized something was wrong around him!
"The gears of time are slowing down"?
Doesn't that mean that time stands still? !
Yes, what is——
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A slow and powerful sound like a heartbeat echoed around Darkman Island, breaking the moment of tranquility.
For a moment, all the sounds flooded into my ears.
Ordinary people almost didn't notice it, and their heads were shattered by the concussive sound, and red and white were scattered around like paste.
Those weak extraordinary beings were not spared either. Their eardrums were instantly shot through, and two streams of blood slid down the cochlea to their necks, making them no longer affected by the sound.
"Hmm!" Claire quickly covered her ears, her face becoming serious.
[You are attacked by an unknown creature. Because your resilience level exceeds 3000, you are immune to the attack. Evaluation: Not everyone can bear the consequences of the gears of time stagnating! Special rewards: +30 survival points, +3 toughness level. 】
Is the power of this shock caused by gear stagnation?
Wei En's expression changed slightly. Even someone as strong as Claire was injured before seeing the source of the sound. This is enough to show the terrifying strength of the thing summoned or created by the alchemy circle!
"If you can't bear it anymore, go back to the theater!"
"I, know!" Claire gritted her teeth, hugged his arm tightly, and leaned her whole body against him, "You don't have to worry about me, as long as it's not a monster like the deep sea troll -"
"Roar--"
At this time, a roar that seemed not to come from a creature of this world came from the center of Darkman Island, blowing everything around it outward like a strong wind.
It also allowed some ships that were originally in the port to luckily escape from the shallow sea area and rush outward at extremely fast speeds.
"Damn it, run away!"
"Hurry, while there is still a chance, adjust the sails quickly!"
"Damn, I almost died, just..."
On the Ronan, Wei En was not as optimistic as the people on the ship. On the contrary, he had an extremely ominous premonition in his heart.
It was as if there was a breath that blocked everything around him, forcing his mental perception to shrink.
No, not shrinking, but being compressed back by a wall!
"Roar--"
The roar sounded again.
But this time, instead of blowing outward, it sucked everything under the clouds towards Duckman Island.
Click!
Caught off guard, Wei En and Claire were also thrown away by this huge suction force.
"Nico, Luke."
Wayne reacted quickly, carried Claire to the Ronan, and took her into the cockpit.
"Ronan, take control of the ship quickly, it's going to capsize!"
Ronan in the cockpit was also knocked unconscious by this force. Hearing his voice, he struggled to get up and control the pull rod, maneuvering the steamship to try not to lose its center of gravity and avoid being tipped upside down in the sea.
"Damn it, what kind of horror is that!"
Wayne's face was gloomy. He also wanted to figure this out, so he insisted on not returning to the theater space.
but now……
"Let's go?" Claire suggested as she looked at the slowly retreating scene around her and the huge wave sweeping ahead.
"Well, take them with you!"
Wayne no longer hesitated and decided to return to the theater space, but he did not intend to abandon the people on the Ronan.
Otherwise, we will have to find someone familiar with life on board again later!
"Okay, I'll take them all to the bottom of the boat! Let's meet there!" Seeing him say this, Claire didn't refute and disappeared directly into the shadows.
"Leave? Captain, then this ship..." Ronan looked ugly, guessing that the captain had a way to leave, but he still didn't want to give up on this ship that had been sailing for more than ten years.
"You can choose to be buried in the sea with it!"
Triangle Eyes: "...Then I still choose to leave with the captain..."
"Stop talking nonsense. When they are ready, I will take you away first!"
Wayne glanced at him, focusing beyond the ship.
At this time, Darkman Island had been shattered by the previous shock and was slowly sinking into the sea. Even the previous four pyramids also fell.
And those three bandage weirdos...huh?
When Wei En sensed them, he discovered that they were falling downwards along with the pyramid. Won't they run away?
"Praise be to the Great Lord of Truth, we have succeeded!"
"Ho ho, reality has come to the false world, ho ho ho ho..."
"Kill, despair, only by falling forever to reality can this world survive forever!!"
They stood at the top of the pyramid they were guarding, and with a strange sense of ritual, they untied the cloth strips on their bodies in circles, revealing the dark, dry and mummy-like bodies underneath.
what is this?
Sacrifice?
The doubts in Wei En's heart disappeared in a flash. He knew that there was no time to explore the unknown now, so he had to escape from this sea area as soon as possible.
at this time,
As everything on the island sank, the figure in the deep cavity gradually emerged - countless twisted and entwined tentacles, slowly twitching and protruding around, with countless barbs stirring Darkman Island.
And on its chest, there is a huge mouth with countless tiny worms, which is also devouring everything around it, as if it is eating. Under the intrusion of sea water, countless fish and abnormal species living in the deep sea were torn into pieces by those tiny worms and flowed into the huge mouth.
hiss!
Wei En only felt that in less than a second, his mental strength was torn apart instantly, and he felt a sharp pain in his head.
So, what is that? !
[You spy on the unknown deep sea beast, and your spiritual power is torn apart. Evaluation: It’s just a level three disaster, even though it’s being promoted... Special rewards: +100 survival points, -200 spiritual level (temporary), +10 spiritual level, +5 toughness level. 】
A deep-sea behemoth that is being promoted, with strength comparable to a level three disaster?
Isn't that a level four disaster?
Wei En had seen what happened when Tina lost control and became a level 4 disaster. Although she had no intention of harming other people at the time, countless people died just from the horrific vision around her.
Now that terrifying deep-sea behemoth with a huge body and obviously astonishing destructive power will also become a level 4 disaster?
As he spoke, Wei En took out a bottle of enlightenment potion and poured it into his mouth, which restored his mental strength and made his headache lighter.
Now that he has figured out that the things those bandage monsters used the alchemy circle to create are giant beasts of the deep, he doesn't plan to stay any longer, so it's better to escape quickly.
What's more, the steamship approaching Duckman Island couldn't help him wait any longer.
"Roar--"
Another roar sounded, as if it had been released, with a certain joyful emotion, announcing its arrival to the world.
The people around them, as well as the deformed species and fish in the deep sea, all felt desperate at this time. They had already expected that they would be doomed, and they roared out sadly.
"Redhead, you damn-"
"Damn it, you did it, redhead!"
Forehead,
Wayne: "..."
Are these people out of their minds? Didn't you notice that he is now being sucked by that monster?
If that monster really belonged to him, he would be able to laugh out of his dreams... His strength is not up to the level of Isabello, the Emperor of the Sea, so getting a similar model of a deep-sea monster would be just as popular, wouldn't it?
After thinking wildly for a while, Wei En sensed that there were only a small number of people left who had not been gathered by Claire, and he mentally calculated the last time.
Ten seconds!
He could only hold on for ten seconds at most. If he couldn't leave by then, he would be devoured by the terrifying beast.
"Claire, hurry up, it's a deep sea monster!"
"Two more to go, very soon!" Claire has never had such a sense of accomplishment as she does now. It turns out that saving people is so much harder than killing people!
two?
Wei En's face relaxed a little, and he looked outside the ship with his mental senses. He didn't dare to sense the terrifying beast, for fear of suffering another mental tear.
But the miserable scene around him at this time also sent shivers down his spine. The deep-sea fish and mutants that were struggling to escape, and even some corpses with expressions of despair and fear, were forced to flow along the sea towards the beast. A terrifying beast.
Corpse?
Wei En's eyes narrowed. Those deformed mutants were going to die anyway, so why not give him some strength?
"Wait here for two seconds!"
After saying that, without waiting for Ronan to react, he left the cockpit in a flash and appeared at the stern of the ship. He lowered his head slightly to avoid looking at the deep-sea behemoth and gave an order to the ghost through his origin.
"Siyam, Sil, Suter!"
"..."
Corpse explosion techniques were cast by ghosts one after another, and dark green light fell on the corpses. Countless pustules absorbed the flesh, blood, and bones in their bodies, and instantly expanded and exploded, as if a bomb had been detonated in a crowded school of fish, destroying all surrounding creatures. Infected with pus disease.
What followed was a series of muffled sounds, explosions, and spreads——
After doing this, Wei En went straight back to the cabin without stopping, and quickly pulled Ronan to the bottom of the boat.
"Everyone hold hands!"
There was no hesitation or panic. Both the pirates and the Queen's Guardsmen held each other's hands as he ordered.
Wayne took out the golden key and took Claire and the others' hands. In a moment of spinning, everyone's figures disappeared into the cabin and returned to the clown theater.
At the moment of space transformation, he only heard a shrill roar coming from outside.
There seems to be a little despair?
"call--"
It wasn't until he saw the familiar theater space that Wei En breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't pay attention to the crazy information prompts in his mind and sat down on the ground.
Alas, a good ship is gone again...
"Fortunately, fortunately I can come back..." Claire also looked relaxed, "The thing created by that alchemy circle is really terrifying!"
The other pirates and guards, with expressions of panic and fear still on their faces, looked around the theater and cheered: "Long live Captain!"
"Captain Red Hair, thank you so much!"
"You are the most powerful captain in my heart. There is no one more powerful than you in the entire Cordo Sea!"
They knew very well that if it hadn't been for Wei En, they would have fallen into the sea like the other people on the ship, and the outcome... being torn apart by the aberrations would be considered a good outcome!
In the crowd, Wei'an and Haisha hugged each other, looking at the pirates around them who were boiling with excitement after the disaster, the panic on their faces slightly faded.
The second time...
Wei An looked at Wayne and Claire who were surrounded, and thought to herself: Counting the time she was rescued by Claire, she now owes two lives on this boat.
"Vianne, over there..." Haisha quietly pointed to the other side of the theater and whispered.
"Um?"
The aristocratic lady looked in the direction she pointed, and saw in front of a door not far away, a mechanical cyborg wearing a white dress standing there, with a mechanical eye on his face and a mechanical arm on his body... …
"That's a zombie!" Haisha reminded quietly again.
Zombies?
It really is!
Wei An looked stunned when she was sure, so is there a necromancy or ghost wizard here?
That couldn't be better!
"Okay, I'll find a place for you, you can rest there first!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Not long after, Wei En touched his belly, which felt a strong sense of hunger, and opened a space for the pirates and guards next to the rest area.
After only Triangle Eyes and Claire were left outside, he quickly sat down at the dining table, waved to Miss Zombie and said, "Sawa, bring some food over here!"
"Um."
Miss Zombie didn't pay attention to the others, brought the stored ingredients to the dining table, and slowly and stiffly sat down next to Wayne.
"Let's go." Claire followed.
Ronan looked at the door behind him and carefully sat down opposite the red-haired captain, "Captain, this is..."
"You can understand it as the effect of the forbidden object," Wei En replied while eating blue marlin. "Before the monster leaves, let's hide here for a while."
"Did you see clearly what that was?" Claire put her arm on her chin, as if she liked seeing him eating like this.
"It should be similar to the deep-sea monster that appeared in Custer City State before, except that the monster just now is advancing."
Wei En thought for a while and asked: "I don't know the function of that alchemy circle, but it is estimated that there are only two situations. One is to summon the monster that is about to advance, and the other is that it can make the monster Advance.”
"Let the deep sea monster advance?" Ronan's face changed slightly, "I guess not?"
Compared to Wayne and Claire, he has been in the Cordo Sea for more than ten years and knows some rumors about deep-sea monsters.
It was a terrifying monster belonging to the third level of disaster. It had at least the strength of a Archon-level transcendent. The destructive power it caused in the deep sea area was comparable to that of the Kingdom's Hand. It was only one step away from being promoted to a legend.
"This is just my guess, and it may not be accurate. After all, we have just arrived at Kerman Island and we encountered such a thing."
Wei En devoured a whole blue marlin and frowned slightly.
Hmm, why are you getting hungrier?
Did you get a lot of toughness level rewards this time?
Thinking like this, his consciousness sank into his mind, he opened the panel and looked at it, with a look of astonishment on his face.
This is--
[You use the Corpse Explosion Technique (God of Death) to kill the deep-sea deformed mutant... Special rewards: +10 survival points, +1 spiritual level. 】
[You use the Corpse Explosion (Death) spell to harm an unknown deep sea monster, triggering the death characteristic - disease, which means the death progress is 70/35000.

【……】
[You use the corpse explosion (god of death) spell to damage an unknown deep-sea monster, triggering the death characteristic - disaster, which means the death progress is 35000/35000.

Special reward: Survival points +100. 】

Damn it!
That terrifying deep sea beast was killed by his corpse explosion technique? !
"What's wrong?" Claire noticed his expression and asked doubtfully.
"We'll talk about it later, I want to go out!"
Without further explanation, Wayne left the theater again through the golden key and returned to the outside world.
"...Hoo!! Who is it?!"
"Who killed the guardian blessed by the great Lord of Truth?!"
"West! West! West!" (Kill!)
Forehead……
As soon as Wei En returned to the outside world, before he had time to rejoice that the steamship was intact, he heard three crazy roars coming from outside.
He flashed to the observation deck and glanced around. He couldn't help but be secretly frightened by the destructive power of the corpse explosion technique.
No wonder it was able to cause the appearance of the deep sea monster Adnan before. It turns out that the corpse explosion technique has such great power after being cast into the deep sea!
"It's you?!"
"Is it you? Did you kill it, the messenger of the Lord of Truth!?"
The three bandaged weirdos noticed his arrival and stared at him with a pair of empty eyes.
"Can I say it was just an accident..."
PS: That’s it for today. Well, I’ll add another chapter. I owe 5 chapters.
