Chapter 208 I Remembered
Chapter 208 I remembered...
Wayne frowned and looked at Claire, "Has your strength improved?"
According to his observations, Claire's strength is between the minister level and the director level, and her true combat effectiveness depends on whether the enemy's extraordinary characteristics can restrain her puppets.
But no matter what, there was no way she could fight against the five Twilight Mystical Monks.
Let alone confrontation, there was no question whether he could escape unharmed.
However, the current situation is that she has directly turned these Twilight Mystical Monks into her own puppets...
"Oh~ Captain, are you done?" Claire turned around and saw Wayne, a charming smile appeared on her beautiful face again, but she did not answer his question.
After killing the pirate, the five Twilight Mystical Monks beside her retracted the torn cloth strips and wrapped them around themselves to cover their withered and ferocious bodies. The ferocious illusory heads also calmed down and slowly shrank. Returning to their bodies, it was as if they were sealed by a strip of cloth.
"Master Captain."
"captain!"
"captain……"
Wayne nodded, glanced around, and noticed that there were more than twenty broken pirate corpses scattered on the deck, as well as hundreds of corpses of deep-sea mutants. He understood that before his arrival, the battle here was not smooth. .
Not only that, there are also a lot of blood stains on Claire’s body...
Seeing this, he jumped off the observation tower, came to Claire, stared at the Twilight Mystical Monks, and asked calmly: "Tell me, what happened here?"
"As you can see, it's just a group of pirates who came here." Claire stretched out her finger and pointed at Triangle Eye and the others standing in front of the cabin. "The Golden Dis is here to find the second officer."
"Sorry, Captain," Ronan hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said, "What happened is, after nightfall, the Golden Orchid of the Goldendis Pirates came over..."
It turned out that after Claire arrived, the captain named Stacie went straight to the Leonard.
The battle did not go well at first. Even if the rune array was activated on the ship under Claire's command, the pirates still could not withstand the crazy attacks of those deep-sea aberrations.
And at this moment, Claire——
"If it weren't for the first mate, maybe we would have been defeated. At that time..."
"Okay, let me tell you the rest." Claire raised her hand to interrupt Ronan's story.
"Uh, yes." Ronan glanced at Wei En and saw that he didn't retort. He looked slightly relaxed and silently retreated to the pirates.
"As you thought, I just completed a breakthrough and my strength has improved, so I can control them in one fell swoop." The smile on Claire's face faded, and her eyes when looking at Wei En became a little more complicated, saying : "As for the rest, I'll explain it to you after I get back there, okay?"
"Yes." Wayne looked deeply at Claire and nodded.
Although he didn't know very well how a transcendent's strength was improved, he thought that to break through quickly in such a tense battle, he must not use conventional methods.
Even a wizard like him, with the help of a panel, would still choose to finish in a secret place when advancing.
It seems that Claire also has many secrets...
Thinking of this, Wayne waved his hand, "Ghost."
"Adagua!"
The four heads opened their mouths wide and swallowed up the aberrations on the deck together with the body of the incoming pirate captain.

After doing this, Wei En told Ronan and other pirates: "Second mate, take people to the ship to see if there is any loot, and ask them to clean the deck quickly."
"yes!"
Ronan quickly arranged for the pirates to clean the deck, and then took people to the Golden Orchid.
"Go back...huh?"
Wei En noticed some strange fluctuations in his mental perception and turned his head to look at the sea in the distance.
It's just that the feedback from mental perception is not clear, and he cannot tell the source of those fluctuations.
"What's wrong?" Claire noticed his movements and followed his gaze. She found nothing unusual and asked doubtfully.
"without."
Activate Talent - Spiritual Transformation.
Spirit level increased!
Wei En mentally raised his spiritual level to 10,000 to further expand his range of perception.
As the fluctuations he perceived became clearer, he finally understood what was there - there was a pyramid-shaped building under the sea, very similar to the one he had seen on Duckman Island before.
[You step into the place where unknown existence contains endless killing intent. Because your spiritual level is greater than 5000, you successfully resisted the erosion of spiritual power. Evaluation: They are just some alternative gadgets, nothing compared to the authority of the rules! Special rewards: +20 survival points, +2 spiritual level. 】
Containing murderous intent?
Those are the pyramids!
"Wait here for a moment."
"oh."
"Secret Master!"
"Flo, Ize, Orella!"
The secret master recited the incantation of Shadow Step, and Wei En's figure disappeared on the Leonard.
When he opened his eyes again, he had already passed through that sticky barrier and appeared in the kingdom of death.
But this time he didn't look at the sleeping divine body, and he didn't even dare to take another look at the blood cloud of the mountain of corpses not far away. He turned around and looked at the outside world, looking at the location of the pyramid.
Release the Shadow Step!
In an instant, Wei En escaped from the kingdom of death, and his figure appeared where the pyramid was. To be precise, he landed on the top of the pyramid.
[You touch an unknown place where murderous intent is stored. Because your spiritual level exceeds 5000, you are exempt from the murderous dream. Rating: ...Special rewards: Survival Points +30, Spirit Level +2, Resilience Level +2. 】

【……】
[You touch the place where the murderous intent of an unknown existence is stored... Reward: Survival Points +20. 】
Wayne looked at the pyramid at his feet, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes, "It's different?"
I saw that this pyramid, which was mostly sunk under the sea, was completely blood red, not the silvery white that I had seen before on Duckman Island. At the same time, it was also much smaller, only five meters in length at most. .
Not only that, there are no weird and twisted asymmetrical runes on the tower, so it obviously does not function as an alchemy circle.
Or are these the murderous intent storage containers scattered throughout the sea?
Wei En glanced around, covered by spiritual perception, and found no other abnormalities, so he put the pyramid into the space ring.
"Roar--"
As the pyramid disappeared, the surrounding seawater instantly filled the gap, and the strange fluctuations caused those deep-sea aberrations to rush in.
Before they could approach, Wei En's figure suddenly disappeared and he used Shadow Step again to return to the Leonard.
Claire leaned on the side of the ship and looked at the Golden Orchid not far away. She noticed the movement behind her, and several Twilight Mystical Monks on the side looked at Wei En at the same time.
"Did you find anything? Captain~"
"Well," Wei En said calmly: "It should be something from the Twilight Sect."
"oh?"
Claire turned around, leaned against the side of the ship, looked at him, and smiled: "Is it something I've seen on that island before?"
"It's different, there aren't those alchemical runes."
Wei En shook his head, then glanced at the Twilight Mystical Monks, "However, it is probably related to them."
"It should be," Claire moved her fingers, controlling a Twilight Mystical Monk to take a step forward, and asked in a lazy tone: "Did you do it?"
Um?
Wei En's expression changed slightly, could it be...
"Yes, that is the mark left by the great Lord of Truth!" On the face of the Dusk Mysterious Monk who was bound by cloth strips, the lips moved, as if the voices of countless people were mixed together.
"What is it used for?"
"Use it to collect the meaning of killing, condense the origin of killing, sacrifice, sacrifice..."
Before he finished speaking, the dark yellow cloth strips on the Dusk Mystical Monk's body collapsed, revealing a gap, and then an illusory, thin head squeezed out of the gap, glaring at Claire with hateful eyes, "Ho! Blasphemy, bullying, you heretics from the illusory world, how dare you control me!?"
"Oh?" Claire looked at him in surprise, "Is there anything else that slipped through the net?"
Wei En also frowned and stared at the tall and thin figure, "Do you need help?"
"Of course... no need!" Claire glanced at him charmingly, "Just so you can see my new abilities."
"West!"
The Dusk Mystical Monk struggled and jumped up, the cloth strips around him scattered one after another, and all the illusory heads emerged from his withered body in an instant.
But it was obvious that those heads were still under Claire's control. After coming out, they did not attack Wayne and Claire. Instead, they pounced on the thin heads one by one, biting them crazily.
"Kill you!"
"You shameless bastard!"
"Disgusting butcher..."
The thin head roared and struggled to drive away the other heads, but within the confines of that small body, no matter how much he resisted, it was to no avail.
"Damn it, you-"
"Puppetry - manipulation!"
At this moment, Claire moved her fingers, and countless black threads shot out. The threads penetrated into the illusory heads, and the remaining threads wrapped around the body of the mysterious monk.
Puppetry?
Wayne observed her movements carefully. Under the coverage of mental perception, the feedback given to him by those black threads was not like the shadow teleportation ability used by Claire before. Instead, it was closer to the illusory head on the Dusk Mystical Monk.
Soul power?
"Be obedient, don't move~" Claire licked her lips and raised a finger, as if to tease, causing the Dusk Mystical Monk to let out an inhuman scream.
"You, what did you do?!"
"You? It seems that you are also from this world? Why don't you talk about you and me anymore?"
The thin head showed a fierce look, staring at Claire and Wayne, and shouted with a tone full of resentment: "Don't be complacent, this false world will die sooner or later!"
"How long will it take?" Claire curled her lips, "Forget it, I guess you don't know either..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand, and the black silk thread controlled countless illusory heads to devour the thin head.
"The true master will not let you go!!"
The miserable roar echoed on the Leonard, and the vigilant pirates around him breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the head disappear, and continued to clean the deck.
When Wei En saw this scene, he had a new understanding of Claire's strength. Even the director-level Twilight Mystical Monk could easily defeat him, and his strength was at least at the executive level!
Claire waved her hand to scatter the black threads, let the heads return to the body and tie them with old cloth strips again. Her bright eyes fell on Wayne, and she smiled charmingly, "Am I great?"
"sharp."
Wayne nodded and looked at her thoughtfully. After a few seconds of silence, he did not continue to ask about her strength, but instead asked: "Why are the people from the Twilight Sect on the ship of the Golden Dis Pirates?"
He knew Claire's temperament, so she would tell him when she wanted to.
If you don't want to...no choice!
"According to what the ugly captain said, it seems that the Twilight Sect has reached an alliance with them, and this time they came to you specifically."
"I?"
"right,"
As she said that, Claire's expression changed, and she said pitifully: "If it weren't for the excessive things you did to them on Duckman Island before, they wouldn't have targeted us... and the people who were harmed have suffered. Very serious injury..."
Wayne: "..."
He glanced at Claire's torn clothes, which had long been smooth and white, with no trace of any injury...
"If I hadn't suddenly remembered how to break through the seal and improve my strength, I'm afraid you would never see me again~"
"Seal?" Wei En was startled. Is this the reason why her strength has improved?
Claire hummed, sighed softly, and said, "Let's talk about this matter after we return to the theater. It's not something that can be explained clearly in just a few sentences."
"good."
As long as she is willing to say it, Wei En doesn't want to create any seeds of doubt in her.
Not long after, Ronan returned with people from the Golden Orchid and said with a slight embarrassment: "I'm sorry, captain, first mate, there wasn't much on that ship. I only found a few hundred gold pounds..."
"Yes." Wei En nodded and said casually: "Then let's split up and set sail as soon as possible."
"Understood, I'll make arrangements right away."
Then, Wei En waited for a while, and after making sure there was no other trouble, he took Claire back to the theater space, and the Twilight Mystical Monks were also brought in.
After experiencing the previous episode, Claire was worried that something else had slipped through the net, so she simply took it back to the theater space and checked it carefully again.
"...Rixi, Wei En, are you back?"
The three women on the stage were sitting at the dining table. When they saw several figures suddenly appearing, they all stood up.
Pafula curiously looked at those strange people wrapped in cloth strips, with a little doubt on her face. She seemed to have seen them somewhere.
"Well, go ahead, Claire and I still have some things to deal with."
Wei En noticed the parchment placed in front of the three women. He didn't expect that even Pavla, who had studied a little before, would follow Tina and Sharva to learn Gonza when they had nothing to do. Leith language...
But now is not the time to care about this. He took Claire and the Twilight Mystical Monks to the studio on the other side of the stage.
"Can you tell me now?"
"Yeah." Claire waved the Dusk Mystical Monk to squat in the corner and sit back on the chair, with a look of exhaustion on his face, "Actually, I don't have much memory about the seal..."
"Forehead……"
Wayne folded his hands on 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 above my origin."
Claire's tone was very calm, "While fighting them, a voice suddenly popped up in my head... It was him/her who told me that if I don't want to die, just lift the seal."
"But after I lifted the seal, I realized that there was not just one layer of seals above the origin, but several layers of things that looked like seals..."
"How many levels?" Wei En frowned slightly, "You mean, you didn't remove all the seals this time?"
"Well," Claire nodded and continued: "After one layer of the seal was lifted, the other seal marks suddenly disappeared. Then my body gained a lot of strength and some memories."
"Memory? What memory?"
"I remembered that the Era Relic was not obtained from the Eternal Life Society..."
