Chapter 711 Something is wrong
Compared to the silent Anne, the surviving pirates on other pirate ships were already in a state of excitement.
They found that the black clouds that seemed to be pressing down on the sea above their heads gradually dissipated, revealing the normal gray-white fog and the hazy outline of the sun behind; it was as if the endless zombies and ghosts had lost their lives again, or fell to the ground, or turned into nothingness; the thing that oppressed their spirits and bodies, and drove people crazy even at a distance of thousands of meters, finally disappeared, and the companions around them were no longer hateful or mouth-watering.
it's over?
This thought popped up in everyone's mind.
They left the cabin which was not safe, but at least gave them some psychological comfort. Standing on the deck, they looked at the dock which looked like hell. Their eyes swept over the piles of dead and grotesque corpses, looked at the ships which were only one in ten left, and the survivors on them who were as confused as themselves. They felt that today's pirate conference was a nightmare from which they had not yet woken up.
As for those companions who did not leave the cabin, no one dared to think about what had become of them.
Compared to the pirates who could only tremble in fear outside the breath of the "divine evil", the situation of several pirate general flagships with certain self-protection capabilities was better, but only in one way. With the extraordinary people as the backbone, they were enough to resist the zombies, werewolves and ghosts awakened by Sua, but many people were still disfigured by the previous crazy breath and the uncontrollable black rain.
The "Future", which was surrounded by ships such as the "Golden Dream", "News", and the new "Black Death", was the most intact. The starlight covering the entire hull blocked the black rain and weakened the impact of the "Divine Evil". In addition, it had just picked up several pirate generals and quickly sailed away, so the loss was not great.
But after this battle, many pirate groups were already dead in name only, and even the bounties were unclaimed because the bodies could not be identified...
The "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya looked around silently, and finally her eyes stopped at the place where the "Divine Evil" Suea sank into the sea.
At the end of the battle, she saw through her thick-framed glasses that could block some pollution, the scene where Miss "Queen" and the three giant hands perished together.
In Cattleya's opinion, a demigod who had just been promoted to Sequence 4 was being held in the palm of a giant black hand that clearly possessed the status of an angel, or even more powerful. No matter what, there was no way he could survive.
Instead, it was the sudden appearance of destructive force that made her confused.
"Queen", just died like that?
"She died just like that?"
Beside Cattleya, Vice Admiral Disease Tracy slowly walked to the side of the ship, staring blankly at the location of the Queen Anne's Revenge, and muttered.
"Shouldn't you be happy? I heard you had a lot of conflicts with her."
After looking at this witch who didn't have a good reputation normally but had helped each other in the previous escape and even rescued several pirate generals, Cattleya asked back.
Vice Admiral Disease and Angelica, formerly a powerful adventurer and now the "Golden Queen," were competing for the heart of a red-haired lady. This was no secret within the circle, and while there might have been some exaggeration, Cattleya felt that it was at least half true.
The other half of the reason was that the expression on Tracy's face now was not joy, but loneliness.
————
The thick black and a hint of deep red disappeared from Angel's sight, and the blue sky, green grass, tall city walls and people constantly entering and leaving the city gate appeared in Angel's sight.
After looking around for a moment, she finally confirmed that she had arrived in the world described in Groselle's Travels, the city that appeared in the "Frost Kingdom" after she and some companions defeated the "King of the North".
It's already summer here... She sighed and began to check her physical condition.
All the limbs were still there, with no missing or extra fingers, and the magical items, except for a "disaster" talisman that was rejected here and the tin dolls that were scattered and turned into soldiers, were all in their original places.
The spiritual power loss was enormous, likely caused by the "petrification" talisman. Using the new method to create the talisman, a single one nearly depleted my spiritual power. This wasn't even Sequence 3, it was definitely a power only possessed by Sequence 2 and above, and it was "given" to me in advance...
After some confirmation, Angel breathed a sigh of relief.
At the end of the battle just now, she was surrounded by three giant hands of the "divine evil" Suea. Just as she was about to use the mirror substitute to dodge again, the gray fog that appeared before her and the information it contained from Klein made her make the final decision:
Use the "petrification" spell to severely injure S'ea and escape in the simplest and safest way.
That's right, she used the same method she used to escape when she left Bayam and was pursued by the demigods of the "Rose School". Klein smeared her blood on the cover of "Groselle's Travels" and used the negative effects of this magical item to bring her into the illusory world in the book.
The last image that remained in her eyes was a huge black hand with countless eyes, mouths and skulls on its surface, a sticky black liquid containing a hint of crimson, and Suana's desperate roar.
Finally, before Angel "left", they were turned into gray-white stones by the activated "petrification" spell.
If I'd been sucked into the world in the book a second later, I'd probably have been turned to stone... This spell is far more powerful than "Catastrophe," and its damage isn't limited to anything it touches. It's similar to the mysterious "petrification" power that Klein, the Hanged Man, and I encountered on the nameless island, but the effect is stronger and faster... Fortunately, the plan worked. Even if the "Divine Evil" wasn't seriously injured, it couldn't defeat Annie, whose strength remained intact. It could only escape into the spirit world like last time...
Thinking of this, the corners of Angel's mouth, which had been tense, finally curled up, and his heartbeat, which had accelerated due to nervousness, slowly returned to normal.
But why do the "Mother Tree of Desire" and the "Rose School" that believes in it repeatedly set traps to catch me? Judging by Suea's actions, he must be captured alive... I could almost hear the desperate roar of this "divine evil" because of my escape in the world of the book, not to mention the feedback from consuming a large part of the "despair" potion. It seems that making those in high positions feel despair, even just a little, is very beneficial to the role... She muttered, walking against the flow of people entering the city towards the illusory gate that left "Groselle's Travels".
Although there was no "substantial" gain from this battle, Angel had digested the potion to a considerable extent, and the role-playing rules he summarized also included "give hope first, then let them despair."
The most important thing is that when Angel activated the "petrification" spell, her body was tightly grasped by three giant hands. This allowed her to avoid too much damage under the protection of Anne's contract and after the "Harvester Legion" shared the power, and she also got a glimpse of some knowledge emitted by the mythical creature form of the "divine evil".
"Divine Evil" is Sequence 1 of the "Prisoner" pathway, while "Ancient Evil" is Sequence 2...
Their Sequence 0, the True God, is the "Bound One"...
The "Bound God" is also a "divine evil", which means that no true god has appeared on this path yet... Then, the identity of the "Mother Tree of Desire" is very suspicious. Is He a god from another path who controls or replaces the "Bound God" to gain control of the "Rose School"?
According to the descriptions of some of the abilities of the "Ancient Evil," the Headless Messenger Renette Tinicole was likely in this order during her lifetime. She, no, "He" was actually an angel...
Finally, this path, starting from the High Sequence, has mastered the abilities of curses and transformation... No wonder my Cursed Black Flame, after being strengthened by the "Reaper Legion," is ineffective against "Divine Evils" that only have a partial power and are at most considered Sequence 2...
Of course, compared to the "Abyss" path, where even fire is ineffective, Suea at least has some weaknesses...
Reviewing these fragments of knowledge she had gained from witnessing the mythical creatures, which were not systematic but made her think deeply, Angel came to the double door that led to the world outside the book.
This door could only be seen by her, Klein, Edwina, Danitz, and the others who had "passed" the script. Other passers-by walked and stopped, or even passed through the door, but had no sense of it.
"If I go out now, I should end up in Backlund, next to Klein."
She muttered, pressing her hands against both sides of the double door, her gaze fixed on the drooping icicles at the top of the door frame that didn't fit in with the current environment.
The last time she solemnly opened the door, she was greeted by the death of Siatas and Mobet, Groselle's nostalgia for his hometown, Longzel's regret, and Snowman's prayer.
wrong……
Doubts slowly rose in her heart, and her fingertips stopped a few centimeters away from the door.
This time, it went a little too smoothly...
The last time the "Rose School" set an ambush outside Bayam City, even though Klein and I swapped identities and used the "betrayal" spell to destroy the "Tree of Flesh and Blood," severely damaging the demigod Zatwin and the "Admiral of Blood," and ultimately allowing them to successfully summon some of the power of the "divine evil" Suea, if it weren't for the unexpected factor of Annie, their plan might have succeeded.
This time, with Anne present, the sea kings also possessed a certain amount of power to resist the angels. In the worst-case scenario, the "Rose School" might even have guessed the effects of "Groselle's Travels." Everything was laid bare. The "divine evil" Suea still responded to that bloody sacrificial ritual, transmitting power through the air, attempting to capture me under Anne's protection...
His outstretched hands paused in the air for a moment and then retracted. Angel frowned and looked down at his body.
If the ritual was just a cover, the attack was just a cover, the "Mother Tree of Desire" knew that the "Divine Evil" was outnumbered, but still launched the attack...
...Just to let me return to Klein?
Thinking of this, Angel immediately took a few steps back, away from the door that could leave the world in the book. His eyes swept over the white arms, the secret emblem on the wrist, and the sword, shield and scale-shaped mark, and finally he made up his mind.
"A fool who does not belong to this era...
"I beg for your help..."
As soon as the prayer stopped, a picture appeared in her mind.
He stood beside the noisy street, clasped his hands together, bowed his head in prayer, his long blond hair, which had not been altered by the "Faceless Man", draped behind his back, his purple eyes slightly closed, his lips tightly pursed, just like usual.
The only difference was that there was a deep red aura floating around this figure.
