Chapter 189: Hymn of Despair
The sky became even darker, and when the next dawn came, there was no light in the sky.
Lynch sensed the enemies, they filled the air and rose above the sea.
The engine and hull began to make a barely audible knocking sound, like an illusion in a violent storm.
At first, only Lynch noticed the abnormality, but soon, Tigris and Eugen on the lower floor also saw the invisible object outside the hull.
A huge slap put an end to the boasting of the dwarf and the elven swordmaster, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the middle-level ship windows.
The broken crystal healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and returned to its original state in just a few breaths.
The elf put down his cup and the dwarf took up his battle axe.
But how can a giant sword and a battle axe fight against an invisible thing? In the separate bathroom on the upper floor, John looked at the light blue metal wall melancholy, recalling the past.
The dim holy light on his body reminded John that evil was approaching.
Suddenly, a palm print appeared on the wall, but it was quickly repaired by the engine itself.
The strong wind outside the pyramid engine stirred the ocean wantonly, and the roaring thunder was like dull laughter.
The bloated dark clouds looked like giants, or like fat gods high above looking down at the mortal world.
The suspension engine trembled in the air, and the air seemed to have turned into a giant hand of some existence, tightly gripping the ancient saint's creation.
The slapping sounds on the hull became more and more intense. In a trance, Eugen saw densely packed, rotting corpses.
They lay outside the pyramid, scratching the outer wall of the hovercraft desperately, and slapping the barrier made of alloy and magic in vain.
Teclis' lips opened and closed, and Eugen saw the gathering of Hessi energy as the wizard prepared a protective spell.
The dense flapping sounds suddenly stopped, and the elven wizard turned his head with difficulty, as if he had overcome layers of obstacles and saw the sky.
Blood was oozing from his eyes and there was a smell of blood in his ears.
Eugen didn't know what he saw. The oracle closed his eyes and covered his ears. Even the most powerful wizard was hurt. The opponent must be at a very high level.
The eyelids are itchy, as if they are forced by some force to struggle to open, allowing mortals to witness the nature of chaos.
Eugen felt endless life floating outside the engine and covering the sea.
Billions of tiny lives cheered in the air and in the sea, and the insignificant sounds merged into a deafening sound that resounded through the heavens and the earth.
"Sevenfold Curse!"
There was no light between heaven and earth, and the sun died here.
Another fanatical praise that stirred up endless echoes rang out, almost crushing the sanity of mortals.
"Seven diseases!"
Thousands and thousands of lingering voices echoed in Eugen's ears. No matter whether they were strong or old, mortals were dying under the power of the God of All Things.
The painful groans were also praising the King of Decay, and everything came to a standstill.
"Seventh level of mutation!"
Unspeakable weirdness penetrated into Eugen's mind, beating his pure thoughts, and tirelessly leading him astray.
They sang the curse song in unison in Eugen's brain, and Eugen's thoughts were torn into countless pieces.
"Seven levels of decay!"
Although he was not physically injured, Eugen was shrouded in a lingering weakness. He sat down on the chair with difficulty, shivering weakly.
There was no need to cover his ears and eyes anymore, because the world Eugen felt was filled with empty darkness.
Countless tiny lives once again integrated into a grand chorus, shattering the darkness, but Eugen would rather stay in the darkness than face the horror of chaos.
"Seventh level of despair!"
A faint despair filled the air, which was unreasonable and uncontrollable.
They connected the despair that was aroused in Eugen under heavy pressure, and together oppressed the tiny mortal from both inside and outside, trying to completely break down his mental defenses.
This sea area is the domain of the Lord of Despair. The disease that he casually spread has now blossomed.
The Sword of Despair failed to wipe out the Lizardmen, but it had an irreversible impact on the world.
It was as if countless naughty children were pulling Eugen's ears and fiddling with his body. Billions of voices, like spring thunder that awakened all things, sang together again.
"Sevenfold growth!"
The crisp sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air cut off the bud growing in Eugen's heart.
Teclis silently chanted the name of Asuryan, finding courage in the fiery power of the Phoenix God.
He used the Sword of Teclis to cut off the influence spreading from the spiritual world.
In the wizard's second vision, the outside of the engine turned into an empty light yellow-green color, and the most withered autumn was not enough to describe its decay.
Mortals collapsed under the overwhelming pressure, and suffering became the main theme of the world.
The dazzling sunlight shines from the upper level of the pyramid. In the sunlight, a stubborn soul stubbornly fights against the omnipresent despair.
He was like a small boat in a storm, or a scattered candlelight in the howling cold wind in winter.
The rainstorm and wind became even more violent, and the bone-chilling shouts rang out maliciously, as if a child was teasing an ant, wanting to crush the ant to death.
"Sevenfold Blessing!"
Teclis heard a loud noise in his soul, and only with the protection of Lilith's moon staff did he not faint.
On the upper level of the suspension engine, the sunlight becomes even more dazzling under the heavy pressure. The souls in it, with their tireless enthusiasm, unyieldingly push forward their ideals and walk out of despair.
Billions of screams rang out at the same time, cursing the ignorant disobedients in pain, and then dissipated into the air.
Outside the pyramid engine, a biological warship made of rotten corpses and covered with tumors appeared on the originally empty sea surface at some point.
All the blisters on it burst, and flesh and blood continued to peel off the warship, turning into pus and dissolving into the ocean.
The failure of the confrontation in the spiritual world caused the extension of the great demon's power to almost collapse.
Lynch changed direction without hesitation, accelerated slightly, and crashed into the Nurgle warship.
The living ship slowly changed direction, like a defeated army fleeing for its life.
But the heavy damage made it lose its previous flexibility. There was no earth-shattering sound, and the Zongqi engine smashed the Nurgle warship unimpeded.
The resentful gaze flashed by, the dark clouds dispersed, and the scorching sun appeared.
The turbid sea water quickly becomes clear again under the sunshine, and the dirt contaminated by the engine is also washed away by the self-cleaning system.
Lynch didn't dare to relax and remained fully alert to any disturbances from the outside world.
It was not until his companions slowly woke up one by one and the great wizard used Hai Xi to dispel the lingering despair that Lin Qi shifted his attention.
The survivors resumed their previous activities, but the long-bearded dwarf who was drinking alone became even more silent, and the elf leaning on the chair no longer had the mood to argue with the dwarf.
The Oracle silently climbed to the upper level and found a seat close to the lizard man, which gave him a sense of security.
