The sea breeze was strong, but Eric stood as straight as a javelin.
The sea breeze was strong, but Eric stood as straight as a javelin. He was almost fifty years old this year. Of course, for an expert like him who had already reached Level 28 in Origin Energy, his body was still in its strongest state when he was around thirty years old. If Eric could break through to Level 30 in these ten years, then his body would still be in its strongest state when he was around thirty years old. If Eric could break through to Level 30 in these ten years, then it would be a transformation of his life.
Every expert who broke through the Level 30 barrier, regardless of what race they were, would have their lifespans greatly extended. Along with it, the period of strength would naturally be extended as well. And the extent of the extension was at least fifty years. Just thinking about how his body would not age at all in the next fifty years was enough to motivate him to charge forward.
However, every time his Origin Energy increased by one level, the amount needed to advance to the next level would almost double. Therefore, only a small number of people could stand at the top of the pyramid of power. Eric was no exception. He missed the time when he was young, when his Origin Energy had increased rapidly. It was also a period of time when the flames of war burned. Eric spent almost every day on the battlefield during those eight years.
He enjoyed the pleasure of slaughtering his enemies, and at the same time, he felt the moving taste of his strength constantly expanding. It was also in those eight years that he earned the title of Bloody Earl. Unfortunately, after breaking through the Level 25 barrier, the increase in Origin Energy had greatly slowed down. Only by occasionally entering the Origin Energy Star Sea would one be able to obtain a chance to grow rapidly. However, there were not many opportunities like this, and it had been three years since the last time he had increased his level.
Eric yearned for strength, and he yearned even more for this feeling of strength to last long enough. Now that he was already Level 28, he would be able to usher in the most important transformation of his life if he increased his level by two more levels. However, he also knew that it would not be easy to increase his level twice, especially to break through the Level 30 barrier. Therefore, when Mason promised him that as long as he completed the mission, he would give him a bottle of precious Origin Liquid.
Origin Liquid was a precious item that was absorbed from the human body or nature's Origin Energy and processed with a secret method to preserve it in the form of a liquid. A bottle of Origin Liquid was enough for Eric to immediately advance by one level. This would greatly shorten the time it would take him to advance to Level 30, and such a thing was not something that could be bought with money. Even with the imperial family's care for the four dukes, they only received one bottle of Origin Fluid every five years.
As for an Earl like Eric, even if he worked hard for his entire life, he would not be able to obtain a bottle if he didn\'t have a lucky chance, no matter how low-grade it was.
If it weren't for Mason's generous conditions, Eric wouldn't have provoked the Naga Clan so easily with his madness. It was important to note that this mutant was inextricably linked with the royal family. Putting aside everything else, one of the most direct relationships was the current emperor's favorite imperial concubine. She had half of the Naga bloodline. Just based on this little bit of relationship, when people wanted to touch the Naga Clan, they had to consider it. Even with Sword Lord Mason's immense influence, he had to hide his head and show his tail. After a few twists and turns, he had to use Eric, who he had nothing to do with previously.
Otherwise, a mere Naga Clan, even if Mason could not completely destroy this kind of mutant. However, he could barge into the Nether River Corridor alone. There was no need to go through so much trouble.
Eric narrowed his eyes and stared at the Sunrise in front of him, waiting for both sides to sail into the open sea. At that time, it was time to attack with all his might. That account book must not fall into the hands of the royal family. Otherwise, it would cause countless troubles!
Blood energy surged, and the bloodthirsty light in Eric\'s eyes grew stronger and stronger.
Belmore frowned. Although he was far away, Eric\'s obscure but murderous aura could be clearly distinguished. Belmore didn\'t know who it was, but he knew very well that the other party wasn\'t simple. The killing intent in that might was so strong that Belmond could almost smell a sweet smell of blood. This was not simple. One had to know that the two sides were so far apart, and the other party did not deliberately release his aura. The killing intent was already so dense. One could imagine that he was a person who had walked out of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood.
Even if such a person wasn\'t of a high level, he would still be quite troublesome. Moreover, how low would a person who could unintentionally condense killing intent to such an extent be?
Belmore secretly compared himself to the other party and came to the conclusion that if he attacked with all his might, he would probably have a chance to escape from such a person. He couldn\'t help but be speechless at this result. Although he hadn\'t advanced to Level 20, he was still a bit stronger than an ordinary Level 20 Awakened because of his Black Devil Wings. If he could only escape from his opponent\'s hands at his level, then the Azure Dragon Knight at the bottom of the bilge wouldn\'t be his opponent\'s hands and feet at all.
Fortunately, there were Lily and a few other Naga Elders on board. Lily\'s level was unknown, but Belmore had already felt her might. In terms of pure strength, she shouldn\'t be much weaker than that person. However, Lily was still too young, and her combat experience might not be comparable to that of a battlefield butcher. As for Wei Fu and the other elders, they had at least Level 25 Origin Energy. With them on their side, it wasn\'t like they had no chance of winning.
After the Sunrise arrived at the Outer Sea, the Naga Clan would move to the Seabed Palace, while Belmore and the others would be sent to another port before transferring to another passenger ship to return to Ark Harbor. Before that, they were on the same boat. Belmore could only join forces with them to fight against the enemy. At this moment, footsteps sounded behind him, but Taylor and the others followed Kira.
Taylor looked into the distance, but because there were no signs on the ship, he didn\'t know who the other party was. Just as he was suspicious, Weaver said in a deep voice, "That\'s Eric."
"Bloody Earl?" Taylor was shocked.
Wei Fu nodded and said, "There\'s no mistake. We took the account book last night and left immediately today. It must have surprised Eric. In his hurry, he couldn\'t gather enough force to stop us, so he had to go out himself. Moreover, in the entire Killer Whale Harbor, apart from him, who else has such a strong killing intent? "
"If only it were him." Lily waved her little fist and said, "Then I\'ll have the chance to teach this bullshit count a lesson!"
Wei Fu shook his head and said, "Your Highness, don\'t be careless. Eric is a Level 28 expert. Moreover, his combat experience is not something that you, Your Highness, can compare to. Your Highness shouldn\'t be weaker than him in terms of strength, but in terms of experience, you are lacking. So don\'t be careless when you fight Eric. "
Lily curled her lips, dissatisfied with Wei Fu's words that raised the morale of others and destroyed her own prestige. However, he knew that Wei Fu\'s words were correct, so he didn\'t refute them. Wei Fu said to Taylor, "Get ready for a water battle. It looks like they\'re planning to fight in the open sea."
The Great Elder of the Naga Clan smiled coldly and said, "That\'s good. We need to let them know that the Naga Clan has never been afraid of anyone when they fight at sea."
Belmore suddenly understood. He had almost forgotten that the Naga Clan lived in the deep sea, and the sea was their home ground. On this battlefield, their combat strength would have to be increased by one or two levels at the most conservative estimate.
Taylor immediately went down to prepare and beat the guards to the deck of the ship. He also ordered people to take out cannonballs and other items from the warehouse and prepare for battle. The eleven Azure Dragon Knight also arrived on the deck. After Wei Fu warned them, they all nodded and jumped into the sea from the bow of the ship, disappearing. They entered the sea in this direction, and from an angle, Eric didn\'t notice anything unusual.
As a result, Eric\'s three nameless warships sailed out of the open sea, sticking close to the Sunrise. As soon as he left the open sea, the count said coldly, "Everyone, prepare to attack."
Apart from him, none of the combatants and sailors used were from Killer Whale Harbor. The two major assassination groups were involved in the battle. Among them, the Night Specters were a dark force that Eric had secretly nurtured over the past ten years. They had always been operating in the dark, helping Eric cut off some of the enemies that he could not kill openly. This assassination group had fifty assassins, and with steel cannons and You Lian as their allies, they had already killed many opponents for Eric.
As for the other group, it was the local assassination guild, Snake Belle. The Snake Belle Master was both Marlene and Eric\'s mistress and partner. Snake Belle\'s killers were all women, and the seven poisonous snakes that Marlene had focused on nurturing were even more beautiful. However, due to the urgency of the matter, Marlene didn\'t have time to call back all the poisonous snakes. Only three of them came to Killer Whale Harbor with Marlene and happened to participate in this battle.
But to Eric, neither the Night Specter nor Snake Belle were the main characters of this operation. At best, it was only to restrain some of the other party\'s experts. The real protagonist was him. Eric was trembling slightly. He had already begun to imagine tearing apart Princess Naga\'s body and listening to the moving taste of blood flowing in her young body.
The killing intent on the count\'s body grew even stronger.
Eric\'s warship was still hanging closely behind the Sunrise, while the other two warships, carrying the Night Specter and Snake Belle\'s killers, flanked both sides. The left and right warships were three points faster. They moved forward, drawing a clear arc on the surface of the sea and closing in on the Sunrise. The Sunrise was an ocean-going merchant ship. This kind of merchant ship was characterized by its large load, so it could store a large amount of supplies needed to cross the ocean.
In terms of speed, it wasn\'t slow, but it couldn\'t be raised in a short period of time like Eric\'s warships. As a result, the Sunrise was gradually caught up by the two warships. At this moment, the guns on both sides of the merchant ship flashed with flames. The Sunrise was the first to fire, opening the prelude to the naval battle!
Two rows of guns fired continuously, and cannonballs whistled across the surface of the sea with a heart-palpitating howl. They landed on the surface of the sea near the warship, causing pillars of water to explode. The warships also began to counterattack. However, out of consideration, they were not equipped with heavy cannons with great firepower. They were only conventional sea cannons. The power and range of this kind of cannon were far inferior to the Sunrise\'s guns. After a round of bombardment, the Sunrise only suffered some damage that was neither light nor heavy.
