The ice-cold seawater instantly drowned Klein, drenching his golden-red dress, making it as heavy as a rock as it dragged him down.
But at the same time, Creeping Hunger had also eaten the pirate, reducing the weight of an entire person.
Klein didn't attempt to float up and instead continued sinking. He could vaguely hear a few splashes coming from afar across the waves. It was as though pirates from the Sailor pathway were in relentless pursuit.
This was their home turf!
They could move around like fish for a very long period of time!
Klein didn't panic. As a Magician who didn't perform unprepared, he had obviously considered the evacuation plan if the operation failed. After all, nothing was guaranteed to succeed.
Although he didn't bring any mystical items or cash with him in order to best impersonate Elaine and prevent Vice Admiral Ailment Tracy from discovering any flaws, he had even thrown the charms related to the water and wind domains above the gray fog. However, this didn't hinder him from doing his best. As a deity, a Blessed, and a believer, he had all sorts of miraculous actions to deal with such situations.
He quickly turned Creeping Hunger pale and dyed it a dark green. The surrounding seawater froze, turning into layers of white frost.
Before the white frost completely turned into ice crystals, Klein's back muscles moved as he spread his arms to the sides. With the strength of a Zombie, he shattered the frost and sent it flying into the seawater a little further away.
This way, he temporarily had a narrow space around him that didn't have any seawater.
The water instantly surged in a bid to fill the empty space. Klein extended his left palm and released a terrifying chill once again. It spread out and created walls of seawater and ice.
Momentarily, he felt as though he was in an ice prison in the sea. He could stand and speak, but he was limited to a relatively narrow space.
Klein immediately took four steps counterclockwise and chanted the names of the Celestial Worthy of Immeasurable for Blessings. He quickly sent his Spirit Body above the gray fog.
Just as his figure appeared on The Fool's high-back chair, he picked up the Sea God Scepter that had long been placed in front of him.
Without needing to identify it, Klein had a thought and selected the light spot that symbolized the newly-promoted Sea God believer, German Sparrow. Following the connection that he had established in advance, he raised the ivory scepter and made the blue gems emit a hazy glow.
He responded to the "believer" and cast layers of spell-like effects on himself, including but not limited to underwater breathing, freedom of movement, and pressure resistance.
Finally, he used the paper angels to interfere with divination and issued an order to the surrounding underwater creatures to help and cover German Sparrow's escape.
After doing all this, Klein did not delay. He immediately returned to the real World and regained control of his body.
At this moment, the pressure of the seawater had already broken through the constantly melting ice wall, once again engulfing that "independent" space.
However, Klein could already breathe smoothly and swim quickly.
Through the rippling, crystalline water, he saw fish swim over. He saw a shadow rise from the bottom of his feet as a gigantic monster of unknown species floated up at high speeds.
It was a strange-looking brownish-red octopus. It was so large that it seemed to be able to use its tentacles to wrap around the entire ship.
It spat out ink into the surroundings, dyeing the nearby waters black. The few Sailor pathway Beyonders who were searching for and pursuing the attacker suddenly felt their vision turn dark as their bodies turned numb.
They didn't know what had happened, but they immediately surfaced to deal with the abnormalities on their bodies.
By the time they dove down again to search for the enemy, they had completely lost track of Klein.
At this moment, Klein was swimming leisurely at the bottom of the sea. He even had the time to think about his actions and evaluate his gains and losses.
I was sufficiently prepared to act as Elaine, making Tracy, who had shared a bed with her for countless nights, fail to immediately see through me. This facilitated the digestion of the potion.
During the process, I even overcame my psychological barriers and found a state of mind that allowed me to blend in and separate myself. This was extremely helpful for the digestion of the potion.
I basically did my best during the battle. It was considered a prepared performance, but I still underestimated the strength of a Sequence 5 Demoness of Affliction. I underestimated the experience of a Vice Admiral Ailment who had reached this level step by step. Even if she had lost her mystical item from the beginning, it would be difficult for me to kill her quickly with my current strength and Sealed Artifacts unless I used the Sea God Scepter … But this is in the waters of the Rorsted Archipelago.
It's very obvious from today's battle that I'm still lacking a powerful offensive mystical item …
Faced with the fact that his operation had failed, Klein was undoubtedly disappointed, but he wasn't depressed. This was because the matter wasn't over yet. He planned on writing to Mr. Aztec to see if he was interested in the ancient documents related to Death and if he had the time to make a trip over.
Before Klein left the captain's cabin, he snapped his fingers to ignite the men's clothes he had changed out of in the wardrobe, as well as his hair and dander. On the surface, it seemed like he was trying not to leave any traces, but in fact, it was a disguise and deception.
What he wanted to hide was the hair and buttons that he had secretly thrown into certain rooms after entering the cabin without anyone noticing.
When Vice Admiral Ailment Tracy was misled into believing that the attacker was afraid of exposing her identity and being cursed from afar, she carefully wiped away all traces of herself. It was very difficult for her to get the pirates to seriously check if there were any similar items left behind.
With the hair and buttons, Klein could use divination to lock onto the Black Death's location within a certain period of time. This way, as long as Mr. Aztec expressed his wishes, he could quickly bring him to Vice Admiral Ailment Tracy.
Sigh, I originally thought that I wouldn't need Mr. Aztec's help and that I could succeed on my own. I'm still lacking a little … Klein sighed, feeling that his pride had been wounded.
This was one of the reasons why he didn't seek the help of a bigshot from the beginning. The other reason was that he wasn't completely certain that Tracy was in possession of the ancient documents related to Death. If she really didn't have them, it would be rather embarrassing for Mr. Aztec to make a wasted trip. Furthermore, he was worried that even with Mr. Aztec's help, he would still need to transform into Elaine and wear her clothes to carry out the operation with himself as bait.
It would be too embarrassing in front of someone he knew!
Actually, if it wasn't for the sake of obtaining information, and if I just wanted to get rid of Vice Admiral Ailment Tracy, things would be much simpler. When I swim back to Bayam and head above the gray fog, I can lock onto her location and use the Sea God Scepter to create a storm …
This doesn't mean that a large-scale attack will definitely kill Tracy on the spot, but that it will attract Sea King Jaan Kottman's attention. When that happens, the Black Death's location will be exposed to the Church of the Storm … Sea King will happily mention Ailment Maiden …
Klein shook his head in a self-deprecating manner. He followed the guidance of his Seer's spiritual intuition and quickly swam towards the coastline.
…
On the Black Death, Tracy dispelled all her defenses and walked to the diamond-studded bracelet in her tattered, bloodstained shirt. She bent down to pick it up.
A very cautious attacker. Back when I was an assassin, I might've been inferior to her. No, he … Tracy suddenly gritted her teeth.
This wasn't only because she had nearly died at the attacker's hands, but also because she felt that the attacker had an affair with Elaine.
According to Rosell The Great, she suspected that the top of her head was a little green.
Elaine, are you really that cold and heartless? No, perhaps, perhaps she was forced. Tracy turned her head to look at the huge and gruesome wound on her left shoulder, feeling the excruciating pain.
If it wasn't for the Assassin and Instigator strengthening her physique, and the subsequent enhancements, just that strike alone might've made her lose her entire shoulder, just like the pirates who had been shot by rifles.
Blood flowed and dyed her vision red. As Tracy let the blonde maidservant in, she used her own powers to help her treat her injuries. At the same time, she instructed the surrounding pirates who couldn't move their eyes away to search for the items left behind by the attacker.
Unfortunately, the pirates told her that the attacker's clothes had self-destructed.
This made Tracy recall the snap of the enemy's fingers before he left. She sighed inwardly again.
How cautious.
And he's not greedy at all. If he had taken this bracelet, I wouldn't have to worry about not being able to catch up to him.
Tracy waved her hand and gestured for most of the pirates to leave, leaving only Wormtongue Misol King and a few high-ranking members of the fleet behind.
"Third Mate, make another trip to Bayam. Investigate where the Resistance found this Elaine," Tracy ordered in a deep voice.
Misol retracted his gaze from the captain's chest with great difficulty.
"Alright!"
Tracy thought for a moment and added, "Spread the word that I'm seriously injured and won't be able to recover for a long time.
"Spread this news. Say that I'm seriously injured and won't be able to recover for a long time.
After giving out orders, Tracy's surroundings quickly returned to silence.
Only at this moment did she have the time to think about which faction the attacker came from, why he wanted to deal with her, and what his motives were …
However, the more Tracy thought about it, the more she felt that it was like a fog. She couldn't see the truth at all. Although she had many enemies, none of them had similar powers.
However, the more Tracy thought about it, the more she felt that it was like a fog. She couldn't see the truth at all. Although she had many enemies, none of them had similar abilities.
Finally, she found a clue and whispered to herself,
"Creeping hunger?"
…
Midnight, Blue Mountain Island's private harbor.
A female figure suddenly stood up from the receding seawater. It was Klein, who was still disguised as Elaine.
Surrounded by seawater, he quickly went ashore and snuck into a nearby fisherman's house. He found a set of tattered clothes and changed into them, transforming back into the appearance of German Sparrow.
Leaving behind the expensive dress as compensation, Klein quickly left the private harbor and returned to the City of Generosity, Bayam, before dawn.
He wasn't in a hurry to rendezvous with Dhaniz. He randomly found a small hotel to stay in and used a ritual to bring the mystical items such as Aztec's copper whistle and his wallet back to the real World.
After confirming that he could divine the location of the Black Death, he blew the copper whistle.
