'What's going on?'
Dhaniz couldn't believe what he was seeing.
It didn't shock him. Instead, it terrified him. It was as if he had jumped into a bucket of ice cubes after getting drunk. He felt a bone-chilling coldness from his feet to his head.
'What's going on? How did it become so strange? ' Dhaniz took a deep breath and forced himself to turn his head back. He chased after German Sparrow.
He realized that the crazy adventurer was walking faster and faster, to the point that he had to jog to keep up.
Passing through the streets and alleys, Dhaniz suddenly saw a green shadow fall from a tree.
It was covered in scales and twisted its slippery body. It had a triangular head and a long, scarlet tongue. It was a rather long venomous snake!
Sh * t! Why would there be snakes in this season and in this weather? Dhaniz wasn't afraid of such creatures. He had even roasted snake meat before. What shocked him was this abnormal situation.
Bypassing the venomous snake, Dhaniz subconsciously looked to his left and right. He discovered that in the gutters on both sides, in the broken walls of the houses, and inside the rusted water pipes, there were pairs of cold, vertical, and different-colored eyes looking outside.
Dhaniz instinctively shuddered. He felt as if his scalp had been pricked with needles.
He didn't dare stay or leave. He sped up again and followed closely behind German Sparrow.
After entering the Wind of Azure Hotel and going up the wooden stairs, he couldn't help but raise his head to ask something.
Suddenly, he felt his chest tighten, and his breathing stagnated for a moment.
At that moment, he felt as if he had dived into the bottom of the sea. He was being squeezed by a heavy current from all directions.
Splash!
Vaguely, Dhaniz heard the sound of the surging tide. He saw illusory waves rippling around German Sparrow, as if they were forming a boundless, bottomless blue ocean.
In that ocean, there was a huge, blue figure that was like a tower supporting everything.
This … Dhaniz's right foot stopped in mid-air, unable to step down.
He wasn't unfamiliar with such a feeling. During the previous Pirate Meet, King of the Five Seas Nast was even more imposing and terrifying than this. Nearly all the pirates couldn't lift their heads, and only captain-level powerhouses could barely resist him.
Dhaniz knew very well that this was not the performance of the German Sparrow.
If the other party was at the level of a demigod, there was no need for him to use the Mandated Punishers when hunting Steel Maveti!
Ocean … Tide … These two terms quickly flashed across Dhaniz's mind before he thought of how the Resistance basically believed in Sea God Cavituis.
"D-Could it be that when the German Sparrow touched the bone sword earlier, he was cursed by the Sea God due to some unknown reason? Was the corpse of the worshipper, which had lost all its water, one of the conditions for the curse to be activated? Was the carriage driver prostrating and kissing the ground because he sensed the aura of the Sea God?
Man … German Sparrow will probably die here today … Should I flee further away to prevent myself from being implicated? At most, at most, I'll come back later to collect his corpse …
Perhaps there's still hope. I'll use the Soulfall Ritual to consult Captain. She knows so many strange mystic techniques, so she should be able to resolve this problem … No, Lord, the condition for the Soulfall Ritual is to be within 500 nautical miles. They still have to sail for at least a day and a half to enter that range …
As he racked his brains for a solution, Dhaniz no longer panicked. With steady footsteps, he followed the German Sparrow into the luxurious suite.
Klein remained silent as his dark brown eyes seemed to be dyed with a blue so rich that it was almost black.
He went straight to the bedroom and locked the door with a click.
Dhaniz stood outside. He wanted to run, but he also felt that he could still save the other party.
Inside the bedroom, Klein closed his eyes and waited for an opportunity.
Suddenly, he took four steps counterclockwise. Each step was accompanied by a chant.
A series of manic or sharp ravings quickly sounded in his ears. His Spirit Body turned illusory as it headed straight into the gray fog.
Soundlessly, he heard a shrill, painful, and indescribable howl.
Klein appeared in the ancient palace and appeared at the end of the long mottled table.
In the silent and motionless gray fog below, an illusory, gigantic azure-blue sea snake appeared.
It was in an ancient and dark ruin, coiled around a half-collapsed pillar. Its hideous head was raised as it opened its bloody mouth, revealing curved fangs that were longer than a human's forearm.
The milky-white fangs were stacked with layers of blood as mucus flowed.
The sea snake swung its tail crazily, stirring up terrifying waves and exaggerated ripples. It caused the entire ruin to shake as though it was about to collapse.
This scene quickly shattered and dimmed. No matter how the unimaginably large sea snake struggled, it was unable to turn the situation around. All it could do was hiss in pain as it transformed into specks of light before vanishing into the gray fog.
Klein sat on the high-back chair belonging to The Fool and silently watched all of this. He didn't do anything for a long time.
The gray fog silently spread out, and the scene seemed to remain the same since time immemorial.
After nearly a minute, Klein leaned back in his chair, sighed, and said the other party's name.
"Sea God Cavituis …"
After touching the bone sword, he had already sensed the abnormality. Furthermore, in his conversation with Baldy Kalat, he acutely discovered that a tiny, weak, but intrinsically cold and sinister energy had invaded his body at some point in time. It was slowly corrupting his soul.
Klein made a prompt decision and turned to leave. Then, he sensed that the sinister energy was forming a connection with his surroundings. It gradually became stronger and connected to an unknown location.
Therefore, while diverting his attention to resist the corruption, he controlled himself to not interact with his surroundings.
Klein believed that as long as he reacted to the abnormalities along the way, the corrosion would become even more intense and even irreversible.
He originally wanted to find a nearby bathroom and use the gray fog's shielding and isolation to melt away the sinister and cold powers. However, after careful consideration, he decided to stay far away from the area. This was because there were many Sea God believers around, so it was very likely that an accident would happen.
During this process, Klein grasped another point. If he were to "exorcise" ahead of time, a portion of Sea God Cavituis's power would remain in his flesh and blood. The consequences and effects were unknown.
He had no choice but to patiently wait for the opportunity, waiting for the cold and evil energy to completely permeate his spirit so that he could "purify" it in one go.
After recalling the entire incident, Klein tapped the edge of the table with his finger and muttered to himself,
"He's not that strong …"
The Sea God's level was much lower than he had imagined!
His original plan was to use the same method he had used on Amon's avatar to deal with Sea God Cavituis's projection, which was attempting to corrupt his soul and occupy his body. However, before he could fuse with the Dark Emperor card or throw out the paper angel, the other party had been dispersed by the gray fog without leaving a trace.
Based on this, Klein came to the conclusion that Sea God Cavituis's level was lower than Blasphemer Amon's. Although the latter might be better at infiltration, it was only an avatar back then.
Was it smashed to the ground by the Lord of Storms, or was it a demigod that wasn't at the angel level and was only a relatively powerful demigod that could respond to believers within a certain range? Klein recalled in puzzlement and discovered that Sea God Cavituis's condition was rather abnormal.
The foundation of this evil spirit's existence is rather weak, as if it could collapse at any moment …
Furthermore, it and the ruins it was in have the feeling of fusing with the spirit world. It's because of this that it was able to escape the encirclement of the Church of the Storm?
Klein leaned back in his chair and had a vague guess.
Today's matter isn't a coincidence. It's all because the archaeologist, Leticia, took away an important item from the Forgotten Temple, causing Sea God Cavituis's situation to worsen, making it difficult for him to maintain his existence for long …
As it gets its believers to find that item, it makes preparations to possess a body to survive. That bone sword should originate from its demigod body. It hides a bit of its power that it projects over. As long as the target is suitable, it will invade the body of the person it touches, corrupting the soul, establishing coordinates, and allowing its spirit to transfer over before dissipating …
However, it's clearly not good at such matters. Yes, it's not the Snake of Mercury. It's unable to self-circulate and reincarnate. It's also not like Blasphemer Amon, who can reside in the souls of others. If it really occupies this body, it will only cause the flesh and blood to completely collapse, creating a terrifying monster.
According to this logic, Cavituis, who is on the verge of complete destruction, will do many more crazy things … Klein frowned slightly. Without further delay, he fell into the gray fog and returned to the real World.
He unlocked the door, opened the door, and entered the living room, which startled Dhaniz, who was pacing back and forth.
Dhaniz scrutinized him from head to toe and asked cautiously and warily,
"Are you alright?"
Klein maintained his persona as Gehrman Sparrow and calmly replied, "That's right.
"Done."
It's settled? Dhaniz looked left and right before glancing at the bedroom. He suspected that what he had felt was an illusion and that there was no Sea God's curse at all.
What is he doing in the bedroom? It only took a minute or two to remove the Sea God's curse? "Hiss, this guy has a lot of secrets …" Dhaniz took two steps back and gave way.
…
Beside a table with a lot of junk, Baldy Kalat, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said to the tattooed man, Edmonton, with a look of regret.
"What a pity."
"Just a little bit more … He didn't pick it up. All he did was touch it." Edmonton sighed as well.
Kalat looked at the slightly curved bone sword and fervently muttered to himself,
"When an outsider picks up this holy sword, God will reappear on the earth …"
Edmonton knelt down as though he was confessing to the gods.
As time passed, Kalat and Edmonton suddenly heard two screams.
They looked up and saw that two of their companions had fallen straight to the ground. Their skin was like weathered rock, losing all its moisture.
Kalat and Edmonton looked at each other and sensed a strange atmosphere.
The two of them straightened their bodies at the same time and looked at the table.
The milky-white holy sword cracked and shattered into countless small pieces.
