Chapter 295 Lord of the Netherworld
The densely packed boats flowed down the river, one after one other, hovering freely on the ocean, and the useless on the boats sailed away with out saying a phrase.
The flying pirate ship above Tu Fu’s head galloped by way of the clouds and mist at an especially quick velocity, and disappeared in a flash.
Velocity should have exceeded 30 knots.
This velocity even surpasses the most recent warships launched into the ocean, and even far exceeds the know-how of this period.
There’s a saying that individuals who die within the sea will flip into undead, floating and wandering on the ocean all day lengthy. Though it might probably’t have an effect on actuality, it’s simple to trigger a couple of supernatural occasions.
As soon as an enormous accident happens, the variety of undead will accumulate an excessive amount of, and it is going to be simple for use by those that need to.
And there are rumors that there are ferrymen who’re chargeable for driving the undead into the River Styx. Yr after 12 months, day after day, they keep the order at sea and collect these misplaced undead.
The crew of the “Demon Hunter” watched a lot of undead go away. Beneath the instruction of Captain Victor, they lastly put down their weapons and gasped for breath.
The confrontation lasted for only some minutes, and the terrifying scene oppressed them, making it troublesome for them to even breathe.
Seeing Jack Sparrow a white hint throughout the sky from a distance, Victor Horta could not assist asking: “Sir, what did you see?”
“a ship.”
“A ship? Do not inform me it is within the sky.”
“It is true. Somebody on board is doing the work of driving away the undead, however I can not see that individual’s face clearly. The ship looks like it’s now, and there’s no signal of life exercise.”
Tu Fu retracted his curious gaze nostalgicly, and instructed Victor what he noticed and felt.
It was an especially dilapidated ship, and it vaguely felt that the ship was hovering within the sky. What him was that there appeared to be one thing within the ship that attracted him, a really acquainted feeling.
“May or not it’s… Captain Ghost.” Victor rubbed his chin thoughtfully, “Individuals at all times say that Captain Ghost has no residing folks beneath his command, solely undead warriors are working for him.
It was an attention-grabbing sport. The ghost captain as soon as set free the wind on the ocean. Anybody can problem him. If he wins, he can get all the pieces the opposite get together owns, fame, wealth, and the quick ship.
Should you lose the wager, you have to voluntarily rework into an undead and work on the ship for a interval of 100 years earlier than you possibly can go away.
I heard that those that dare to play this sport are ruthless individuals who have made a reputation for themselves, and nobody has succeeded up to now. “
“100 years.”
Tu Fu raised his brows. Even the capitalists in Baia would shed tears once they heard about this degree of oppressive enterprise.
After the small incident handed, he returned to the restaurant with out saying a phrase and continued to eat with Sophie, however he repeatedly recalled what occurred simply now in his thoughts.
Whereas he was spying on the ship, an eye fixed within the ship rested on him for a second,
In all probability the ghost captain who drank the fountain of youth and was cursed.
“For some cause, he acquired a sure curse, and even the ship turned a ghost ship. This expertise is strictly the identical as mine.
Does this have one thing to do with the ‘Santa Maria’? Perhaps it is due to some sort of curse that it turned what it’s now, however why did not I rework into the captain or the undead or monster on the ship, however as a substitute I used to be capable of go away freely and return to that ship? Boat. “
Tu Fu could not assist recalling the state of affairs at the moment. To know what occurred to the opposite get together, he needed to ask him personally.
Or, play that prostitution sport with him.
…
Into the night time.
The blue moonlight shined on their respective faces by way of the window. Seeing Winster’s lovely face already asleep, Tu Fu unconsciously remembered the lodge incident.
Sadly, throughout this time, the three of them have been residing in Victor’s captain’s cabin collectively, and the 2 of them can solely guard the taboo border individually.
After guaranteeing that each Sophie and Cindy have been asleep, he lay on the mattress and activated the teleportation ceremony, which he solely dared to see. He whispered the true identify of the ship,
“Santa María…”
There may be not even a hint of religious fluctuations, I simply really feel a trance in entrance of my eyes,
One closed and one open,
He went from one ship to a different instantly.
Even within the Misty Sea simply now, it might probably’t evaluate to this particular space. The thick grey fog right here, even Tu Fu of Sequence 6, nonetheless can’t see by way of the dense fog across the ship.
It’s price mentioning that since getting into the center sequence, the monsters on the ship have turn into far more peaceable.
Small folks like skeleton monsters and residing corpses are too afraid to keep away from him, so how can they arrive to hitch within the enjoyable.
What worries him is the acquainted employees on board, the primary mate, grandma Mary, chef Harry…
They’re highly effective and appear to retain just a little little bit of human consciousness, however judging from the a number of occasions Tu Fu has come into contact with them, their minds are nonetheless chaotic and loopy, and so they can not talk usually.
“The information has been out for thus lengthy, and now I’ve crossed half of the Misty Sea, and I have never heard something about this ship. Is it actually not on this sea space?”
Tu Fu appeared on the fog on the ocean and contemplated, and it was clear that this was certainly in a sure ocean, not within the sky or anyplace else.
He may really feel the ghost ship transferring at a gradual velocity, however the dense fog that had crammed the ship prior to now 12 months hadn’t disappeared in any respect.
Quite the opposite, I really feel that the fog on the ocean is thicker and extra harmful.
I can certainly launch teleportation, but when there is no such thing as a fulcrum to help at sea, I’ll solely sink within the water.
It isn’t inconceivable to make use of a small boat to discover the environment, however after separating from the large ship, it’s possible you’ll get misplaced on this haze.
Until you bounce into the ocean to search out out.
In any other case, even when we seek for one other 12 months on the present velocity, I’m afraid that there might be no hint of the “Santa Maria”.
This compelled him to be extra decided to rob the compass of Captain Vader of the “Black Medan”.
Opening the hatch and returning to the captain’s cabin, Tu Fu instantly turned on the monitor, and the route alongside the Misty Sea has been unlocked.
He instantly activated the playback operate, and stuck the time at lunch time.
It was the time when the useless crossed the border.
From the attitude of the monitoring display, there are solely a lot of rafts floating throughout the ocean, surrounding the “Demon Hunter”, however there aren’t any folks on the densely packed ships, and the vacancy is so empty that it makes folks panic.
The undead have been initially with out entities, and he could not use the surveillance to search out out the place they have been going, so he switched his perspective to mid-air.
As he noticed, there was certainly a dilapidated three-masted crusing ship that may disintegrate at any time.
The ship was swimming among the many clouds and mist, however the ship strolling within the sky was stuffed with darkness.
The angle of view shouldn’t be clear, solely the crew of the ship might be vaguely seen on the deck, they’re sluggish, mechanically driving, guarding the ship, and there’s a lot of black demise on one another.
Presumably these are the challengers that Victor mentioned got here to lose the wager, and so they have all been remodeled into undead.
The angle of view is additional lower in, and the dilapidated ship is from the within to the skin. I don’t know what number of ideas have handed and haven’t been repaired, so it appears much more dizzy.
Tu Fu may solely rapidly plunder within the cabin, and went straight to the captain’s room the place the ghost captain was.
“Crack!”
There was a crisp gnawing sound from inside, and a black cloak was seen overlaying the folks within the captain’s cabin.
He was nonetheless holding a vivid pink apple in his hand. When he bit into it, he noticed that the unique tender and juicy apple was instantly moldy and rotted when he touched it.
The speed of decay would rot the apple very quickly.
After solely a short time, there’s a black core within the heart left,
This individual might be the well-known Captain Ghost.
And simply when Tu Fu was about to replay what occurred at midday, a bizarre scene occurred.
Tu Fu solely felt his eyelids sore for some time. He did not know if it was the horrible captain or there was one thing fallacious with the ship. A wierd black spark jumped out of the surveillance in useless.
Hearth is sort of a black solar when it shines gentle, darkish and vivid.
A chilly snort blended with demise got here from the void.
Tu Fu, who was sitting on the captain’s chair simply now, was already out of consciousness. His ideas have been so confused that he could not suppose usually.
A horrible thought flashed by way of my thoughts, and I instantly turned off the monitor with the distant management in my hand,
But it surely was too late.
“Growth!”
He solely felt as if he had been hit onerous within the chest, and even the individual and the chair have been knocked down on the bulkhead by the massive impression, and the ghost ship was turbulent and swayed on the ocean due to this.
“Rattling it!”
Tu Fu was hit onerous and spat out a mouthful of blood.
This isn’t over but, the bizarre black flame instantly burned his physique, not solely the physique, however even the soul was burned by the warmth, and the physique decayed at an especially quick velocity.
The burnt garments additionally revealed darkish, rotting pores and skin.
Simply glanced on the inside and outdoors of the ship, he was reworking right into a useless spirit at a velocity seen to the bare eye, this terrifying energy made even Tu Fu, who was watching the surveillance playback on the “Santa Maria” distant, unable to flee.
Happily, the darkish and dazzling black flame didn’t burn for too lengthy.
The black flames progressively extinguished within the mist, and Tu Fu additionally felt that his physique had stopped decomposing, and his arms have been already bloody.
The mysterious energy appeared to be forcibly suppressed by the ghost ship.
“That is not an peculiar flame, it is a ghost hearth that solely exists within the underground world.”
Tu Fu struggled to stand up from the bottom with trembling physique, and helped up the chair that had fallen towards the wall, feeling panic and bewilderment flashing by way of his coronary heart.
Prior to now, even when the spy was a demigod-level determine, the opposite get together knew that there was a spy, at most it simply blocked his “eyes of heaven” and couldn’t have an effect on the viewer.
However this time the ghost captain should not have reached the extent of a demigod, in any other case he would have seen it the primary time he peeped,
Doesn’t rule out the likelihood that he was fishing on objective.
“And I’m extra inclined to a different chance. The legend is true. The ghost captain violated a sure taboo and was punished. He was punished by the gods. The punishment was additionally a blessing, and he turned like a popular being.”
Tufu gasped in concern, “However what I actually glimpsed briefly was a god, or some sort of will that he left on the earth.
From all potentialities, it should be the Lord of the Nether who guards the underworld and is in control of sacrifices and demise.
Oh my god, I truly spied on a god. “
