Chapter 104: The Devil of the Seas Appears
This tragic scene was witnessed by all the surviving pirates, making them simultaneously have the thought of ‘Mama, I want to go home!’
Too powerful. How could humans be a match for the demon? Even Captain Ammand had failed. Perhaps only those priests and angels could kill the demon?
The flags.h.i.+p, which had been smashed in half, began to sink slowly into the water. The pirates who had fallen into the water were desperately swimming away from the flags.h.i.+p because they knew that it would be too late for them to escape once the whirlpool of the sinking s.h.i.+p appeared.
Roy flew above the flags.h.i.+p and searched for the caster who cursed him. He did not know if the person was dead, but he had to get the medium.
Even though the curse was too weak to be of any use against him, it was not a pleasant feeling to be cursed by others.
Most of these pirates were ordinary people, so as long as he could find the places with magic fluctuations, he would be able to find the caster or the medium. Roy carefully sensed the magic fluctuations, only to find that one of them was slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea. Roy guessed that it might be the medium used to cast the curse, so he plunged into the sea.
At this moment, the pirates’ flags.h.i.+p was still sinking. After Roy entered the sea, something could fall on his head at any time, but with the strength of his body, these things could not pose any threat. He chased after the location of the magic fluctuations and soon found the slowly sinking voodoo doll.
This thing was quite strange. It had not floated on the seawater but sank instead. Roy grabbed it.
“It’s so ugly. What is it?” Roy was a little puzzled, but he still got out of the sea and flew back into the sky.
Roy grabbed the voodoo doll and tore it into pieces. After the voodoo doll was out of the caster’s control, he could safely destroy it without worry.
However, Roy then thought of the caster. When he destroyed the other pirate s.h.i.+ps, he remembered those zombie-like monsters. He felt that those zombie-like monsters were likely also controlled by the caster who cursed him. Roy did not intend to let this fellow who was like a black sorcerer go.
Since he knew black magic, it meant that he also had magic fluctuations on him. Although Roy’s sensing range for magic power was not large, these pirates had fallen into the water and would be unable to swim too far. Therefore, Roy flew above the sea and began searching.
Ammand was lucky. He was on the deck at the bow earlier. Due to the urgent turn, Roy had not directly hit him when he smashed the sailboat down, and Ammand was thrown into the sea.
But even so, he was still heavily injured. His entire right leg was broken, and his whole body was covered in wounds. At this moment, he was holding on to a piece of wood and floating on the sea while panting heavily.
When he discovered that Roy was flying low above the sea, Ammand immediately realized that Roy was probably looking for him. The traces of black sorcery on him could not be concealed.
Knowing that he would definitely suffer a fate worse than death if he fell into Roy’s hands, Ammand could only find a way to escape. He imitated the other surviving pirates and desperately paddled away from the battlefield.
However, he forgot one thing. As a captain, his clothes were much better than the other pirates, and Roy found Ammand shortly afterward. Not only did he see through his captain ident.i.ty, but he also found traces of magic power on him.
Roy could not be bothered to chase after Ammand when he saw that he was escaping. He opened his mouth and spat out an ice bomb at Ammand!
Rather than calling it an ice bomb, it was better to call it frozen air that was only the size of a fist. It was spinning violently while flying very quickly, leaving a trail of white mist in the air as it flew toward Ammand.
This was an improved version of Roy’s frost breath. The principle was very simple. It was nothing more than compressing scattered frost aura before spitting it out.
Well… Indeed, it felt like spitting. Ho—Pui!
When he turned his head to look at the incoming ma.s.s of frozen air, Ammand felt despair. He knew that he was doomed this time!
He already regretted it. If he had known that the demon was so powerful, he would not have gone out into the limelight back then. Now that he had not succeeded in killing the demon, he would lose his life…
However, just as Ammand’s heart was like dying ashes, and Roy thought that he could kill this black magic caster, all of a sudden, there was an explosion on the surface of the sea. Waves were splas.h.i.+ng as a huge tentacle broke out of the water and blocked between Roy’s frozen air ma.s.s and Ammand!
Peng! The frozen air ma.s.s exploded, and the strong frost aura contained in it released at once. The huge tentacle blocked Roy’s frozen air ma.s.s, so it had to bear the cold aura that erupted from it.
The black ice filling the air instantly covered the tentacle, and even the waves that it created turned into ice.
However, the black ice did not last long on the tentacle before it burst apart. Although the tentacle did not look injured, the beast’s roar that sounded slightly painful came from under the sea.
“Kra-Kraken?!”
Ammand was stunned. He recognized the tentacle at first glance. He dared to swear that he had never been so happy to see the Kraken’s tentacle…
Davy Jones had come…
As if to prove Ammand’s words, the surface of the sea suddenly parted, and a ferocious-looking gigantic s.h.i.+p broke through the surface. Its speed was so fast that with a whoosh, it emerged from the water and stood before everyone.
The hull covered in seaweed, algae, and barnacles; the ragged sails; and the horns on the bow that were full of sharp teeth all showed the ident.i.ty of the s.h.i.+p!
The Flying Dutchman, the legendary wars.h.i.+p of the Devil of the Seas, Davy Jones!
The surviving pirates looked at the battles.h.i.+p that had drilled out of the water with lifeless eyes. Normally, they might have been afraid of the appearance of the Flying Dutchman, but they no longer had the strength to fear anymore. A demon, lich, and h.e.l.lhound had appeared, so it was not a big deal to have another Devil of the Seas…
Only Ammand felt a strong sense of hope, and he certainly knew why Davy Jones was here…
The Flying Dutchman’s deck still had water flowing off of it, but a group of strange creatures was already standing on the deck. Leading them was the octopus-faced Davy Jones. He had a pipe in his mouth, and his small eyes were staring intently at Roy in the air. The tentacle-like beard on his chin kept wriggling.
The moment Roy saw Davy Jones, he immediately recalled the fish-man that he had chased away when he first entered this world. He was one of Davy Jones’s subordinates.
The fish-man had come to find Ca.s.sandra’s soul. After Roy chased him away, he was already prepared to be found by Davy Jones. However, he did not expect that Davy Jones never showed up in front of him during these two to three months.
It was certainly impossible that the fish-man had not conveyed his message. Roy was certain that Davy Jones was the first person to know of his existence. But for such a long time, Davy Jones acted as though he did not know anything… For a while, Roy thought that he did not want to get into a conflict with a demon like him, so he chose to turn a blind eye to Ca.s.sandra’s soul.
Of course, this was a good thing. Roy did not want to have anything unpleasant with Davy Jones when it was unnecessary…
However, Roy now felt that he had guessed wrongly. Just as he was about to kill the caster, Davy Jones suddenly appeared.
Moreover, he brought the Kraken…
What did he want to do?
