Voodoo was also known as "Voodoo Religion". The biggest difference between Voodoo and the Orthodox Church of the Old Continent or the Primitive Shamanism of the New Continent was that this belief was based on fear!
It originated from Benin in the Southern Continent. The Anuma slaves who were sold from the Southern Continent to the New Continent brought about the evolution and development of the primitive religion.
The base camp was on St. Domingo Island in the "Golden Sea". With the prosperity of the slave trade, it had a huge influence among the various races in the central and southern parts of the New Continent.
The central idea of "Voodoo" was that all life was interconnected. Matter also had its spirit form. People could go back and forth between the material world and the spiritual world.
Everything in the existing world was just a kind of appearance. There was a more important soul power behind it. The leader of the soul world was a god named Keligba, who was also called "Great Master" by the believers.
There were other gods in charge of death, birth, love, jealousy, revenge and so on. However, those gods were just some appearance of the "Great Master". All the gods and everything belonged to the Great Master, and the wizard was the medium of communication between people and gods.
Believing in "Voodoo" and listening to the wizard's instructions could prevent the "spirit" from harm!
In Voodoo, there were many kinds of "Voodoo Dolls", just like the various kinds of amulets that were very popular in the Old Continent.
In the most basic classification by color, black was used for curses; green was used for money, luck, gambling; pink was used for love; red was used for success, charm, happiness; white was used for detoxification and treatment; yellow was used to ward off evil and pray for power.
The most powerful of all the "Voodoo Dolls", or the "Real Voodoo Dolls" that really had extraordinary power.
It was to cut off the head of a powerful "evil" living person and then put it on the iron altar. The wizard would cast a spell to imprison the victim's soul in his head.
Then the "Head Shrinking Spell" was used to shrink the head into a real Voodoo Dolls with arms and legs that could be used to fight, kill, cast spells and curse.
This kind of doll looked no different from those made of paper, wax, cloth, straw and other materials, but only the wizard knew how terrible they were.
This kind of Voodoo Dolls could provide the host with great power, and even the strongest ability of the original owner would be retained, allowing the host to easily obtain the skills that others had studied for a lifetime.
However …
If the "evil spirit" imprisoned in the voodoo doll did not have a sacrifice of life, it would run to hell. Therefore, a person's life and flesh had to be sacrificed to this "real voodoo doll" every once in a while.
Ghoul Moprati was a staunch believer of Voodoo. Furthermore, he was a warrior under Ogun, the God of Fire and Iron Politics and War.
At this moment, he was using the core ability of a Psychic Warrior and using the voodoo doll as a medium to activate Spirit Subjugation!
On the side, Butcher Mallory had changed quite a bit as well. Without a word, he had already activated his most powerful move, Ceci's Machete Technique: Secret Profound Meaning: Blood Tear!
His eyes were bloodshot, and the bullet holes all over his body were torn apart again. A red mist with a strong smell of blood had already surrounded him.
"Huff … Huff …"
Coupled with the effects of alcohol, his breathing was heavy. His head was slightly lowered, and his arms were drooping. He looked like a drunk gibbon.
Even his jumping posture towards the ship was particularly awkward.
However …
Boom —!
Boom —!
After a series of loud noises.
The two "monsters" had already floated out on the surface of the sea.
The captain's cloak fluttered on the deck.
A black shadow had already chased after them like lightning.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dragging a line of cold light behind him, the slender and muscular figure turned into a crossbow bolt that flew across the sea. The strong wind blew the hair in front of his forehead, and it also caused a large amount of mist to rise from the sea behind him. It was difficult to recover for a long time.
If they could still break into the battleship despite having an absolute advantage, wouldn't Elvin be too incompetent?
Even the location of the battlefield had to be decided by him!
As for the weakest captain of the Trout, Jobley the Greedy, he was the only "lucky one" among the three Transcendents who had successfully boarded the battleship.
However …
When he saw Gary, who was wearing heavy armor and holding a wheeled axe, Boris, who had pulled out his commander's saber, and Milan, who had finally met an evenly matched opponent, who was so excited that she waved her sword around, these three official Knight were eager to jump into the battle.
Clang —
The scimitar fell to the ground.
With a "plop", he knelt on the ground and gave up resisting. He shouted:
"Don't kill me! I surrender, I have important information to report! "
Boom —!
At this moment, a huge splash of water came from afar.
Elvin was fighting two against one, and he was already fighting with the two "monsters".
"Data Visualization" displayed the information of the two.
Name: Mallory (Nickname: "Butcher")
Job Level: Senior Knight
Attributes: Constitution 3.6, Strength 3.5, Dexterity 3.3
Skills: Ceci's Scimitar Technique (Master)
Status: Irrational
Other than his mental state being a little off, his physical attributes were not out of Elvin's expectations.
Instead, it was the unknown profession of the Anumar pirate that made him a little wary. At least when he had been in the Old Continent for two years, he had not seen many ordinary slaves, let alone Anumar Transcendents.
Although he had heard of the more powerful Transcendents among them, it was not easy to recognize them at a glance.
Name: Mopradi (Nickname: "Ghoul")
Job Level: Unknown Rank 2 Official Transcendent
Attributes: Constitution 3.8, Strength 3.4, Dexterity 4.0, Mental Strength less than 1
Skills: Unknown
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The three of them ran quickly on the surface of the sea, either with their powerful physical attributes or their exquisite esoteric skills.
The seawater beneath their feet exploded, and waves that were several meters tall rose.
Every time their weapons clashed, there would be a deafening clap of thunder.
Mallory the Butcher used the scimitar that pirates often used. Even though he had reached Proficient level, Elvin was still able to deal with him with ease.
His current abilities in all aspects were no longer at the same level as when he was dealing with Blood Anchor Zach or Iron Bone William.
Especially with his familiarity with Ceci's Scimitar Technique, he was able to predict it in advance. Even in a chaotic battle, he only needed a few moves to send his opponent flying far away.
Then, he focused on dealing with the Southern Continent natives whose abilities he did not know and who looked very strange.
Whoosh —
A gust of wind swept past Elvin's head like a razor. This native pirate named Mopradi looked burly, but he was actually a Transcendent who specialized in agility like himself.
His combat philosophy was also different from the usual style of the Old Continent. There were a lot of somersaults, side kicks, and roundhouse kicks. It was very different from the Old Continent's swordsmanship, where one's feet never left the ground unless absolutely necessary.
His leg techniques were extremely fierce, as if he could break a steel pillar with a single kick. Furthermore, his moves were strange and impossible to guard against.
[Evil Spirit Ability — Capoeira War Dance!]
Capoeira War Dance was a bare-handed martial art created by a combat master among the Anumar slaves. It was a combination of self-defense and dancing.
It looked like an exaggerated dance, but a lot of powerful leg techniques were added. It was even banned by Shilius for a time.
It was only passed down among a few specific groups of Anumar.
Clearly, this ability of an evil spirit meant that he was once of the same race as Mopradi. However, it was unknown what mistake he had made, but his soul was imprisoned by a wizard and turned into a voodoo doll.
Then, Mopradi was bestowed upon him.
Whoosh!
At the same time, with the strange Baya Sword in his hand, his movements were erratic, as if he was flying on water.
The Baya Sword was a strange weapon. It looked like a sword, a saber, and a sickle. The tip of the blade was thick at the top and thin at the bottom, but there was an additional curved tip.
It could be used in many ways, such as stabbing, chopping, cutting, slicing … It could be used in many ways.
However, the more strange a weapon was, the higher the requirements it had on its user. At the very least, this native pirate had not mastered it and could not even use its "profound meaning." He was far from enough in front of Elvin.
Elvin, who had exchanged a few blows with him out of curiosity, had a general understanding of his abilities. He no longer held back and crushed him with his physical fitness and swordsmanship that far exceeded his own.
The moment Mopradi soared into the air again, he lowered his body.
The swift sword in his hand turned into a pure white sword light and flashed past his waist without any obstruction.
He was cut in half at the waist!
"Huh?"
However, the touch from his hand made Elvin keenly feel that something was wrong. It was clearly flesh and blood, but it gave off an illusory feeling as if he had cut an evil spirit.
He instantly retreated.
As expected, the vicious blade fell from the sky as if it was not affected at all, but it only shattered the afterimages left behind by Elvin.
Bang!
Nimbly landing on the water, the pitch-black Mopradi paused his feet and charged at Elvin again.
Seeing the surprise on his face, the corners of the Psychic Warrior's mouth cracked open, revealing a row of white teeth that were still fleshy.
"Ga ga! Damned Nimansterian, feel Ogun's power! Offer me your heart! "
The strange yellow voodoo doll embedded in his chest also cracked open its mouth at the same time, drooling over Elvin's flesh and blood.
Through the voodoo doll's spirit descent, Psychic Warriors obtained part of the characteristics of a "spirit." After turning their bodies incorporeal, they could hit others, but others could not hit them. This was the core ability of this Transcendent profession!
It was also why they dared to use the Capoeira War Dance to soar into the air so frequently.
Of course.
The premise was that the opponent was only an ordinary Knight who could wield a sword.
His expression did not change.
Elvin held the sword in his right hand, and a green Transcendent light streaked across the blade of the sword in his left hand.
Demo!
Listening to it, it was as sharp as needles in his ears, and the sound of an incantation sounded.
On the slender and bright line of the cold blade, there was already a layer of light blue lightning flashing and flickering.
[Official Witchcraft: Enchanted Weapon!]
This was another result of Elvin's promotion to Wizard, and it was also a common witchcraft in the School of Alchemy.
Whether it was in the inheritance of the School of Alchemy (Elvin had already obtained the authority of an official Wizard in the "Violet Eyes") or in the Ritual of Flesh and Blood, there were records of it, but there were new and old versions.
It could be temporarily used to enchant weapons, and it could also be used to create unique alchemy tools, such as the "Flame Enchanted Ring" that Anthony had once used.
It also allowed Elvin to finally not need the Church's Holy Water to help him when facing spirits.
[Profound Meaning: Wave Jump!]
His body split into three, and when Moprati rushed over, three rays of blue sword light had already soared and went straight for Moprati's vital parts.
In the state of being possessed by an "evil spirit," the Psychic Warrior's senses were exceptionally sharp, and the great sense of danger made him realize that this attack was unusual.
He instantly changed his state, and in the special form of a spirit that was tangible but intangible, he offset the forward momentum and hurriedly dodged.
"Ah!"
Whoosh!
A bone-chilling wind blew past, and when Moprati reappeared ten meters away, it was as if he had been bleached, and his whole body was ghastly pale.
Although his waist was not broken, he had lost an entire thigh. Although his head was not cut off, he had lost an entire arm. Although his chest was not cut off, a row of his ribs were almost neatly cut off.
What was more fatal was that the "voodoo doll" on his chest, which originally looked a little cute, had a ferocious mouth cracked open, and it kept screaming as it struggled to completely get into Moprati's chest.
This Psychic Warrior, who had been insufferably arrogant just a moment ago, had cold sweat rolling down his forehead. The effect of "Spirit Descent" was like using a mushroom bomb to generate electricity, and the slightest accident would cause him to suffer the most intense backlash.
The voodoo doll wanted to get into his body for no other reason than to use his internal organs to fill its stomach that was rumbling with hunger due to its injury!
"Huff … Huff …
When the lightning flashes and thunder roars,
Let me be calm, bless me with courage;
When the lightning flashes and thunder roars,
The light from the evening prayer makes me feel at ease;
.....”
There was no flesh and blood of the same kind to satisfy the "voodoo doll's" appetite, and Moprati could only pant heavily as he kept chanting the incantation taught by the wizard in a futile attempt to appease it.
And then … delay his own death!
