It was a giant umbrella made of white light, which floated up and down in the water.
Through the light of the canopy itself, one could clearly see that the power of the whirlpool extended out from the center of the canopy, rolling up circles of turbid water ripples.
"There must be someone behind the vortex," Angor muttered to himself. But what was that thing?
From afar, Angor could already sense a powerful, chilling energy seeping out of the umbrella and into the water, slowly eroding his body.
He was sure that this was no ordinary creature.
Also, the creature was already so huge from afar. Angor guessed that it had to be at least a hundred meters wide.
Perhaps it was a powerful monster that he couldn't defeat.
To be safe, Angor floated back to The Limpet's deck.
"Sir, is there a problem?" Erwin and Helen quickly came to greet him as soon as they saw Angor returning to the deck.
"Something's down there. I'm not sure what it is yet."
It was the first time Helen saw such a serious expression on Padt's face. She hesitated and said, "Sir, I'm glad you're okay. If there's danger down there, should we change direction?"
Angor shook his head. "I have a feeling that it's onto us. If we don't take care of it now, we'll run into trouble wherever we go."
Angor could use Gondola to leave this place, but he had to take care of the "threat" before The Limpet could leave this place safely.
"How do you plan to deal with it, sir? Do you need our help? "Erwin asked.
Angor considered and looked at Erwin. "For safety's sake, take out your scout puppet. Let's see what that thing is."
After tossing the puppet into the water, he controlled it to move toward the glowing canopy.
While doing so, Angor used his illusion to show the others what he saw. Angor didn't know much about the sea, but these people who spent a lot of time at sea might recognize the umbrella.
Not long after the Scout Puppet entered the water, everyone saw the umbrella that was emitting a faint white light through the illusion.
"Do any of you know what this is?" Angor asked the others as he carefully controlled the puppet to dive deeper.
Apart from the sentries, the other sailors were still looking at the illusions. They only shook their heads after hearing Angor's question.
"The edge of the umbrella is soft, and the way it's bobbing up and down … it looks like a jellyfish."
Many people agreed with this conjecture, including Helen, who nodded. "It does look like a jellyfish. But if it is really a jellyfish, does it have the ability to create a vortex?"
"A butterfly can create a hurricane by flapping its wings, and a jellyfish can also create a vortex. This is Devil's Water, you know."
Angor ordered the scout puppet to keep going down while the others wondered what was going on. But as he descended deeper and deeper, a strange feeling suddenly assaulted his vision.
"Ugh!"
He gasped and abruptly let go of the puppet. At the same time, the illusion also disappeared.
"What's wrong, sir?" Helen quickly asked.
Angor rubbed his temples. "I don't know. Something stung the spirit I attached to the puppet."
"I'm sorry, but I don't think we can get the puppet back," Angor apologized to Erwin.
"As long as these alchemy creations are used properly, you can always ask the company for compensation even if you lose them. Don't worry, sir. It's within reason. "
While speaking, Erwin asked a sailor to bring up an iron box, which was filled to the brim with dozens of scout puppets.
Erwin said, "All these years, there have been no reports of loss of the scouting puppets. Every year, we'll ask for more.
Angor didn't know what to say. The Floating Mech City really was rich. A single scout puppet wasn't worth much, but all of them together would be worth several hundred magic crystals.
Since there were so many scouting puppets here, he decided to explore the area one more time. Also, the strange feeling he just sensed was getting more and more important.
When the scout puppets saw the white light again, one of the sailors suddenly spoke up. "Did you notice that the canopy is bigger than before?"
"Is it? Maybe it's because the scout puppets are falling faster than before. "
Angor was distracted by creating illusions, so he didn't hear the sailor's words. All his attention was on the scout puppet. Just now, he had been struck by a strange feeling in the vicinity, causing him to fall into a trance. In the end, he lost contact with the scouting puppet.
Angor carefully checked his surroundings.
Just as he was concentrating, a strange force of impact hit him again. When he came back to his senses, the connection between him and the puppet was cut off again.
"I think it's some kind of frequency that can affect spirit power." Angor tried to recall what he sensed and spoke in a hesitant tone.
Angor knew that many high-energy creatures emitted such frequencies that could cause people to lose their minds.
Could it be that the jellyfish below was the source of that wave frequency?
Angor decided to give it another try to confirm his theory.
However, when he tossed the scout puppet into the sea, he heard a sailor yelling, "Huh? We can see it now!"
"I'm not mistaken! It's rising!"
Angor also noticed it when he heard someone calling his name. This time, although the white light umbrella was still far from the surface of the sea, he could already see the white light as soon as he threw the scouting puppet into the water.
This meant that the canopy was indeed moving upward.
"So it's not going to trap us? Is it going to fight us head-on?" Angor wondered.
But they didn't even know how strong the enemy was yet. It wasn't a good idea to fight without any preparation.
Angor signaled Erwin to evacuate The Limpet from this area for now.
At the same time, Angor removed his glove and released a layer of nightmare aura around The Limpet.
With the help of the nightmare aura, The Limpet quickly disappeared from the sea.
While The Limpet was retreating, Angor controlled the scout puppet to observe the white canopy from afar.
As the canopy floated upward, Angor's expression grew more grim.
The white canopy was about 500 meters away from the sea, which was enough for Angor to get a good look at it. It was a giant jellyfish. But … there was something special about it.
The reason why the jellyfish was glowing was because there were countless tiny dots all over its body.
Angor couldn't see them clearly in the illusion. He only felt that the densely packed dots made him feel a little disgusted and irritated.
However, he was able to see them clearly through the Scout Puppet's eyes.
They were countless undead souls wriggling around the jellyfish's body. Angor could even see the hideous expressions on their faces and the hands that reached out to grab at the jellyfish.
Angor used to feel disgusted when people from Dark Castle used human blood to bathe in. But this time, he didn't feel any fear toward the giant jellyfish. Instead, he felt disgusted physically.
Finally, someone noticed the tiny dots on the jellyfish's body.
Almost at the same time, people on the ship began to vomit.
Angor stopped the illusion and looked at Helen, who was trying her best to hold back her nausea. "Have you heard of this monster?"
Helen covered her mouth and shook her head. "No, sir. Is it a sea monster too?"
Angor didn't know how to explain it. Undead creatures had a natural hostility toward all living creatures, and they would do anything to get rid of them.
Not only that, but the jellyfish also seemed to be living with the undead creatures.
Undead creatures had no intelligence. They only knew how to kill. They didn't even care about their own lives, let alone the concept of mutual benefit.
Angor couldn't help but wonder if the jellyfish had something to do with the undead creatures.
Maybe the jellyfish had the ability to control undead creatures?
While he was pondering, Angor felt his spirit wavering again, and he lost contact with the scout puppet.
This time, he didn't move the puppet at all. The only thing that changed was the disgusting jellyfish, which meant the jellyfish was the source of his spirit disturbance.
While Angor was still trying to figure out where the jellyfish came from, the creature was already close to the surface of the sea.
At the same time, the people on The Limpet began to feel unwell.
They either vomited, fainted, or simply fainted on the ground.
The powerful creature's unique energy wave began to affect the mortals on the ship.
Angor himself was fine. He was only distracted because he was trying to attach his spirit power to the puppet, which meant that his spirit power would be easily destroyed if it was separated from the source of his spirit power. But now, his spirit was perfectly integrated with the jellyfish's energy wave, and it didn't affect him at all.
People on the ship either fainted or fell to the ground, and The Limpet's speed began to slow down.
Finally, with a wave, the jellyfish that was shining with white light emerged from the water.
At the same time, he sensed a familiar aura in the air.
