The Roaring Conch floated quietly on the sea.
It was already early in the morning. The white fog on the sea was getting thicker and thicker. Even the small island nearby could not be seen.
At this time, in the captain's room.
Elvin, who was immersed in meditation, gradually lost his calm expression. Instead, he seemed to be controlled by a nightmare. His eyebrows trembled, and there was a hint of struggle and eagerness.
That was the instinctive resistance of the transcendent spirituality after the surface consciousness was suppressed!
Elvin's state lasted for a few minutes and finally reached a critical point.
"Beep Beep Beep! Warning! Mental state deviation! "
"Huff … Huff …"
Elvin, who was meditating, was instantly awakened. He gasped for breath and his forehead was already wet with cold sweat.
He jumped off the bed. Even with the strong body of an official Knight, he almost lost his balance. He held on to the edge of the bed to stabilize his body.
"Enemy attack!"
Elvin instantly realized that some kind of continuous attack effect had not stopped. He just temporarily got rid of this state with the help of the "Data Analyzing Vision".
Previously, when he was trapped in the illusion of the deep sea due to the "Secret Treasure of the Sea: Song of Shipwreck", the "Data Analyzing Vision" that monitored his physical state at all times helped him to get rid of that state.
Now, his spiritual power value had reached 0.55, which was not the same as before he became a wizard. Of course, the speed of getting rid of the mind control should be faster.
However, the reality was not like that.
This unknown attack was obviously unusual. Its strength was at least a few levels higher than the "Song of Shipwreck".
With the fastest speed, he took out a bottle of antidote for the "Sleeping Magic Potion" from his waist pouch and gulped it down. A cool and refreshing stimulation instantly spread throughout his body, and the feeling of drowsiness immediately dissipated by more than half.
The attack effect was similar. The antidote was indeed useful.
Clang!
With the sword in hand, Elvin, who barely had a sense of security, finally had the chance to observe what was happening on his ship.
In the captain's room.
Beth, who had gone out to play, was standing on the wooden frame prepared for it and had fallen asleep. For a nocturnal bird, this scene was simply inconceivable.
The entire cabin was shrouded in a milky white mist that came out of nowhere. Although it wasn't too thick and they could still see things clearly, they were still inside the cabin. What would it be like outside the cabin?
He listened carefully, but the outside world was dead silent. Other than the crashing of the waves, there was no other sound.
Gripping his longsword tightly, Elvin quietly pushed open the door and looked outside through the crack.
As expected, the entire ship was completely shrouded in fog. In addition, it was now the darkest time of the day before dawn. As far as the eye could see, it was pitch black, and visibility was extremely low.
Suddenly, Elvin caught sight of a sneaky, hazy black shadow leaning against the corner of the wall and creeping towards him.
The strange scene on the ship had already caused Elvin to be extremely cautious. Forcefully suppressing his overly violent heartbeat, Elvin walked out of the room and similarly greeted that black shadow.
As the captain of the ship, he had to figure out what was happening on the ship!
The distance was getting closer and the silhouette of the figure gradually became clearer. Only then did Elvin recognize the figure's identity.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Milan?!"
"Shh!" Seeing that Elvin was safe and sound, Milan's face was also filled with joy. Finally, he didn't have to fight alone. However, knowing that the situation was critical, he could only desperately gesture to Elvin to keep quiet.
He stretched out his hand to pull Elvin and whispered in his ear, "It's great that you're fine! Follow me, we're in big trouble again! "
After being reminded by Milan, Elvin finally noticed that the Roaring Conch was actually sailing at high speed on the sea.
Even the sails were lowered, but it's still moving?!
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Elvin followed Milan and slowly moved along the bulwark of the Roaring Conch to the bow of the ship. Carefully, he climbed up the bow and looked down.
Hiss —
"Sea monster!!!"
Elvin gasped.
On the surface of the dark sea, an enormous starfish that was flashing with colorful fluorescence slowly extended its twelve tentacles and was desperately spreading a milky white mist into the air. It was like a giant cocoon that had surrounded a large area of space nearby.
The main body of the giant starfish was almost the size of a house. In the middle of its body and at the end of its twelve tentacles, there was a black pearl-like eye. Especially the eye in the middle of its body was the biggest, almost as big as a round table.
Five of its tentacles were attached to the bottom of the ship. With its strength alone, it dragged the heavy warship and swam at an extremely fast speed in the splashing waves.
Seeing the main culprit that caused the strange scene on the ship, Elvin was surprised but also slightly relieved.
At least the sea monster was much better than the legendary invincible evil beings in the sea. The battleship that had mysteriously disappeared, the merchant ship that had unfortunately entered the whirlpool and reappeared with everyone ten years older, and the demon first mate that had eaten all the companions on the ship …
And judging from the characteristics of its body, Elvin determined that it was a small wild sea monster, the Mirage Mist Starfish!
Fortunately, it did not belong to the camp of the mother of sea monsters, Ector (it would only attack humans without delay). The purpose of attacking the ship should be very simple. There was a high probability that it was … hunting?
The Illustrated Handbook of Sea Monsters of the Black Sea also had a simple description of its ability. It could set off a fog that contained hallucinogenic ingredients and pull other creatures into the illusion. Then, the creatures would become its "reserve food" at the mercy of the sea monster.
As for why it wanted to drag the warship away after hypnotizing the navy on the ship, it might be that it wanted to use all of them as its reserve food, and portable at that.
Karma really came fast.
The white fog released by the Silver Mist Lamp had completely destroyed the Spirit of the Eagle. Now, they were immediately attacked by the sea monster with a similar method, and the method was even more ruthless.
If not for him and Milan being awakened by the unique active mental power of a wizard, perhaps the nearly two hundred crew members on the ship would have been eaten by the sea monster without them knowing.
After confirming the identity of the enemy, although it was a terrifying sea monster, knowing was better than not knowing. The only problem left was how to escape from the mouth of the "monster"!
Before that, Elvin glared fiercely at Milan beside him.
"Even when we have a prophet, someone can still steal the tower. What's the use of having a useless person like you?"
Milan replied with an even more innocent look.
"I don't want to. Not to mention that I'm only Tier 2 now, even if I reach Tier 4, I wouldn't dare to say that I'm omniscient!"
Then, not daring to stay there and attract the attention of the sea monster, the two of them quietly slipped down the ship's bow and directly entered the hidden lower cabin.
"What do we do?" Although there was a thick cabin board blocking them, Milan still asked in a low voice.
"What else can we do? Of course, we have to think of a way to kill it!"
Along the way from the bow, Elvin had already noticed that other than himself and Milan who escaped because of the active mental power, no one else on the ship was spared.
Even the five-man team that was supposed to be on duty on the deck was nowhere to be seen. There was no other possibility, they must have become the sea monster's appetizer.
Previously, when he defeated a rather famous pirate ship, the other party was completely wiped out, but he was unscathed. It was impossible to say that Elvin did not have the slightest bit of pride in his heart. However, in less than a day, this "Mirage Fog Starfish" slapped him hard in the face. While it was burning and painful, it … made him feel even more heartache!
Now, this group of people on the ship was his future team, and in such a strange way, five of them were eaten like snacks. How could Elvin not be angry out of humiliation?!
However, when he saw the crew members who were still sleeping on the hammocks and under his feet, Elvin felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.
Now, the only soldiers on the entire warship that could fight were himself and Milan. Although he still had some stock of the "Sleeping Potion" antidote that he used, it was only a drop in the bucket compared to the number of soldiers on the ship.
It was not something that could be done with just a few people to restore the combat power of the warship under his feet.
Recalling the battle when he first went out to sea on the "Silver Wing" and encountered a sea monster, Elvin muttered to himself, "If only we had alchemy bombs … Hmm?"
Before his voice died away, Elvin noticed that Milan was looking at him strangely.
"What's wrong?"
Milan quietly walked to the end of the cabin, opened the door of the ammunition compartment, and pulled out a red wooden box.
Clang!
Seeing the golden and round thing in the box, Elvin's eyes widened.
"When did you get these dangerous things on the ship? As the captain, how could I not know?! "
