Chapter 154 Clearing [Coral City] Another Golden Legend!
The power of this sword is extremely terrifying.
It seems that even the sea water has been divided into two, forming a vacuum zone in this deep underwater palace!
But just when the black dragon sword was about to fall on the "king".
A touch of silvery gray suddenly clung to the sword's body.
Immediately, a strong sense of stagnation was transmitted from the sword to Xia En's arm.
It wasn't the feeling of falling into some defensive barrier or being blocked by any moves, but more like...
The Black Dragon Great Sword and the time it is in are slowly coming to a standstill!
Xia En frowned slightly.
He had guessed before that the secret power of silver gray might be related to time and space.
And now, this strong feeling of obstruction undoubtedly proved his suspicion.
——The "King" wants to freeze himself and the royal family members at the moment when the disaster strikes, and hopes to eliminate the pollution caused by coral in the future.
But looking at it now, the "King's" attempt has mostly failed.
However, this also proves...
Although this silver-gray secret power is very extraordinary, it cannot completely stop time and space.
In other words, there is an upper limit to its ability to freeze time and space!
In this case, what Xia En has to do is very simple.
Find this limit and break it!
"Originally I didn't want to use the third stage..."
Xia En sighed softly in his heart, but still held the [Giant Wristwheel] in his right hand.
"Transform!"
Rumble——
A terrifying roar like thunder erupted from inside Xia En's body.
Immediately, under the shocked gaze of the "King", this black shadow expanded and expanded at an incredible speed, breaking through the ceiling above and standing in this silver-gray hall.
In the previous challenge to the "King", Xia En had never used this transformation ability.
On the one hand, he wanted to steal a skill or two from the other strong men in the "King".
On the other hand, because the giant's body is too large, it will cause considerable damage to the palace during battle.
But today, Xia En came with the determination to clear the dungeon, so naturally he didn't care about this little detail.
Looking at the giant shadow in front of him, a hint of horror flashed in the "King's" eyes.
The oppressive feeling of this huge body and the mysterious feeling brought by the chaotic and blurry light and shadow were intertwined, making him feel frightened for a moment.
It's almost like...
In front of this giant, he is the challenger!
"Descendant of giants? Or some other special secret technique?"
"The King" murmured in disbelief: "Who are you?"
Xia En still didn't answer his question, but silently raised his right hand and slowly clenched it in his palm.
At the same time, veins popped up on his face, neck, and arms, as if there were horny dragons swimming inside them.
The illusory blood that should not exist is rushing, coupled with the long breathing...
Blood energy that looks like an ancient dragon emerges from the body surface, and gradually condenses into a giant sword made of blood energy.
This giant sword is far larger than the Blood Demon Sword. It is a terrifying weapon that only giants can use!
In an instant.
The "King" felt that the atmosphere of this silver-gray hall had rapidly undergone incredible changes.
Becoming more and more solemn and solemn!
Here, it seems that it is no longer his palace, but has become a sacred court of justice!
He is no longer the king here, but just a prisoner on trial!
The terrifying giant in front of him is the judge who judges his crimes!
Such a contrast not only made the "King" feel uneasy, it also made him extremely angry.
He roared: "You traitor!"
"I am the king, and I am the king of the Shuton Kingdom!"
The "King's" face was twisted and ferocious, and the deformed corals began to squirm and grow from his body surface. The faces of men and women also looked extremely painful.
Immediately afterwards, a silver-gray halo spread outward with him as the center.
Everything shrouded by it slows down uncontrollably and stands still with the stagnant time.
Even the heavy and solid sea water around it was no exception.
The only thing still in action is the bloody giant sword that was chopped down from a high place with the meaning of [Judgment]!
That terrifyingly exaggerated power, in the crudest and most direct way, broke through the upper limit of the silver-grey secret power and broke into this static time and space!
Click——!
In the dark, it seemed that some shackles were broken.
At this moment, Xia En felt that his understanding of [Judgment] had reached a whole new level.
Immediately afterwards, a crack appeared in the sea water dyed silver gray.
Click... click...
In less than a breath, the second, third, and countless cracks began to expand outward.
In this hall, the silver-gray color of everything is rapidly disintegrating like snowflakes, and then fading.
The same is true for the "king" on the throne.
"no no!"
Looking at the spiderweb-like cracks on his body, the "King" opened his eyes wide and stretched out his hand, trying to grab the silver-gray fragments.
However, everything is in vain.
Those silver-gray fragments continued to flow and peel off from his body, just like sand passing between the fingers of his hands. The more he tried to hold on, the faster they passed.
And as the silver-gray shell collapsed, one after another human faces woke up and opened their eyes.
"Your Majesty, where is this place?"
"Why, why did I become like this?"
"This is the palace? How did it become like this? Where is the kingdom? Have the civilians in the kingdom survived?"
They observed the surrounding scenes in confusion and confusion, and were horrified by how they looked at this time.
At this moment, a girl gradually woke up from the "King's" chest.
"Father?"
The girl's confused voice briefly brought the "King" back from despair, and he quickly asked with concern.
"Annie? Are you awake?"
"Father, did you succeed? Was the kingdom saved?"
This question was undoubtedly like a spear that pierced the heart of the "King".
Tears of blood flowed from his eyes, and he muttered to himself painfully and unwillingly.
"Failed...failed...failed..."
"I failed to save you, and I couldn't save the people of the kingdom. In the end, I couldn't do anything."
The girl was stunned for a moment, but then she said, "Father, this is not your fault."
"I know that you have worked very hard and you have tried every means to save our country..."
Perhaps because of his daughter's comfort, or perhaps the feeling of approaching death, the "King's" mentality changed and allowed him to regain a little bit of humanity.
He raised his head, looked at Xia En, who was shrinking back to his normal form not far away, and murmured.
"you are right."
"I am just a sinner now, and it's time to wake up from this dream."
With that said, the "King" stretched out his hand to Shane.
A silver-gray, pocket-watch-like object separated from his body and floated in front of Xia En.
Then, the "King's" body, which was as bloated as sarcoma, quickly collapsed like inactive dead mud - along with the faces with different expressions.
In an instant, only a puddle of pale mud remained on the throne.
Looking at this scene, Xia En felt a little emotional.
The reason why the capital of the Shoton Kingdom became such a coral city was because the king chose the wrong path.
But if his attempts at coralization were successful, it would have allowed many civilians to survive the flood.
Whether he is a sinner or a wise king is difficult to make easily.
However, that's not what Xia En cares about.
He picked up the silver-gray pocket watch from the sea.
Several lines of information appeared in front of my eyes.
【A moment of time】
[Quality: Legend]
[Type: Taboo Relic]
[Description: A pocket watch containing the power of time, which can freeze time for 1 second other than the owner of the pocket watch. 】
[But every time the freeze ability is used, the flow of time around the holder will slow down for a period of time. 】
[The more times it is used, the slower the time flow and the wider the range. 】
[After using it ten times, it will enter the "eternal freeze" state and be in a frozen time. 】
【Those who try to control time will eventually be controlled by time. 】
[Current number of uses: 0/10]
Golden legend!
Shane's eyes suddenly opened wide.
It is indeed the final BOSS of the coral dungeon that I have played for so long, and the rewards given are extraordinary!
After seeing this description clearly, Xia En's mood was a little complicated.
Is this [Flash of Time] strong?
Of course it's strong!
This is similar to a "time-stop" effect, and has the ability to turn the tide of the battle under any circumstances.
In one second, a lot can be done for a Mystic like Shane.
But this negative effect of slowing down the flow of time is obviously not comparable to that of ordinary relics.
It's okay for a short period of time, but if it takes a long time, it will undoubtedly cause extremely serious consequences.
And [Eternal Freeze] after using it ten times reminded Xia En of the scene in this hall.
If he guessed correctly, the king probably wanted to use this side effect in turn to protect his daughter and other royal members.
However, it is also possible that he had already produced this terrible stagnation effect before using it for the tenth time.
"It seems that this thing can only be used at extremely critical moments."
Afterwards, Xia En walked to the corpse in front of the throne and absorbed the [Secret Sea Crystal] from it.
[Ship Spirit Level: LV4 (73%)]
[Talent: High-speed regeneration (rare) → (precious)! 】
Feeling the cool power pouring into his body, a smile appeared on Xia En's lips.
One step closer to LV5!
And [High-speed Regeneration], the talent obtained from the coral monsters, has also reached a higher level.
Although the projected body during [Deep Sea Diving] will not be affected by injuries such as bleeding and poisoning, the improvement in regeneration ability can increase the [Deep Sea Diving] time in disguise.
Not to mention, on the sea, this talent greatly enhanced Xia En's endurance.
The usefulness is huge.
However, he watched the silver-gray color in front of him fade away, turning into a normal, empty hall.
Xia En felt inexplicably disappointed.
The resolution of the boss at the end of the level means that the copy of [Coral City] has been cleared by him.
It's a bit like reading a novel or a movie. It's not really nostalgic, but at most a little emotional.
"By the way, I have to explain this to the Queen of the Sea Tribe."
Thinking of this, Xia En quickly swam out of the palace.
As soon as he swam out of the gate, he saw a few faint lights coming from the high water.
It was still night at this time, and the sea water seemed particularly deep and quiet.
Looking carefully, he found that several maids from the sea tribe were slowly swimming towards them with night pearls.
Surrounded by them, the petite Queen of the Sea Clan was trying hard to straighten her waist to make herself look taller.
Xia En took the initiative to swim up and said, "Queen, why are you here late at night?"
Luticia looked at him with burning eyes, a hint of joy in her tone.
"Your Excellency, God made you ask questions knowingly."
"I just sensed that some kind of restriction in the palace has been broken."
"I think it must have been something the Divine Envoy did, right?"
A flash of thought flashed in Xia En's eyes: "Is it prohibited?"
He had never understood before that why there was a ban on the sea people in the palace.
After seeing the king, Xia En had an answer in his heart.
This ban is not only to protect the king and others in the palace, but also to protect the people of the Shuton Kingdom who have taken another path.
Of course, this is just Xia En's guess.
What is the truth? Probably only the dead king knows it, right?
Now that Luticia was in front of him, Xia En simply told her about what happened in the palace.
Finally, Shane said: "I have fulfilled the promise I made to you."
"I probably won't appear in this city again for some time to come."
Luticia was not surprised by this answer.
But there is still some regret in my heart.
If she were more than ten years younger, she would definitely try to keep the divine envoy with her beauty, and it would be better if she could have a few children to expand the Sea Clan's clan.
But now...
Luticia sighed slightly and said seriously: "Mr. Divine Envoy, on behalf of the sea tribe in Coral City, I would like to thank you for everything you have done."
"You will be our friend forever!"
"I will tell your successors about your deeds, and the door of Coral City will always be open to you!"
Xia En nodded in disbelief.
Who can say for sure what will happen next?
But at least now, his communication with this wise queen of the sea tribe is quite pleasant.
…
…
The next morning.
Xia En was walking on the streets of the Insanity Islands, doing the last round of shopping.
The targets of this purchase are coal, kerosene and other fuels, as well as various heating devices.
After all, the next destination is [Leng Lie Sea]!
You can never have too many supplies to keep you warm.
After the purchase was almost done, Xia En walked towards the port.
Along the way, I could notice the thoughtful gazes of other pirates, and several pirates volunteered to become the crew of the Black Swan.
There are many popular people.
After the bounty was posted and Mr. Heller named him in public, Xia En was considered a somewhat famous figure on the Sin Islands.
However, Xia En has a higher level of vision now, and ordinary pirates really can't catch his eye.
In addition, the current manpower of the [Black Swan] is not particularly scarce.
Xia En did not recruit new crew members rashly.
Just when Xia En came to the port, an uninvited guest walked up behind him.
"Captain Shane, please stay."
