A huge gray-black hand grabbed the side of the boat and climbed up quickly, pulling out the part below the sea surface inch by inch.
Through the azure water, Klein first saw a large gray-black shadow, and then his entire field of vision was filled with wriggling pieces of flesh.
The monster seemed to be made up of countless gray and black corpses. Behind its two huge hands were arms that were as dry as firewood. The arms came from a corpse that looked like a giant. The giant's single eye was tightly closed, and there were several other heads attached to its neck. From those heads, there were scaly fish bodies, lizard-like remains, and twisted human corpses. They were connected layer by layer, forming a floating island-like piece of flesh.
From different corpses and from the gaps between the joints, streams of yellow-green gas emanated and spread in all directions, as if to cover the entire area.
Cough! Cough cough cough!
Just by smelling a slight odor, many sailors on the deck started coughing violently, almost unable to straighten their backs.
Seeing this, Frank Lee was about to take out the materials from the secret compartment of his belt without hesitation and use the corresponding extraordinary ability. Unexpectedly, the voice of "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya sounded in his ears first:
“Frank, stop!
"Go help Nina command the sailors and help them adjust the sails!"
"Why?" Frank Lee asked subconsciously.
"In this area, supernatural things within the authority of the 'Mother Earth' will undergo changes, including your abilities." As Cattleya spoke, she stretched out her hands and pressed them on a certain position on the desk.
The symbolic symbols and magic signs on the "Future" immediately lit up in a clear order, turning the entire ship into a dazzling sea of stars, which seemed to correspond one by one to the deep space lights surrounding Cattleya.
The diffuse yellow-green gas was blocked by the starlight, and Klein floated from near the edge to the window of his room.
The coughing pirates' symptoms were relieved. Under the leadership of the boatswain Nina and the first mate Frank, they followed the command of the navigator Ottolov and quickly adjusted the sails, trying to get the "Future" out of the nearby ocean at a faster speed and no longer be affected by the effects of the mutation.
However, the huge gray-black monster had entangled the front part of the ship, and its underwater body was connected to nowhere, dragging the "Future" and making it difficult to move forward.
At the same time, invisible mountains seemed to appear all around, blocking the sea breeze blowing from afar, making it impossible for the "Future" to borrow strength no matter how it adjusted its sails.
"In this situation, we need a backup steam power system. Unfortunately, the Future does not have one...
"Well... it can also fly by using starlight, but this seems to be extremely exhausting for Ms. Hermit, and it is difficult to grasp the direction and progress. If it flies in that way in this sea area, unless luck is on its side, it will most likely crash into a more dangerous area. Haha, there is also an extremely unlucky guy, Anderson, on the ship..." Klein floated by the window of his room, looking at the situation everywhere.
He was not nervous because neither the "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya nor the "Strongest Hunter" Anderson had yet to show their true strength.
Of course, that includes me... Klein added in his mind.
He planned to go back to the cabin first and put on the "Fire" gloves - there was no "food" nearby, and it would be more appropriate to use this magical item than the "Creeping Hunger". The latter needed to be reserved for more dangerous and complicated situations, and then thrown above the gray fog to calm down.
As for the negative effects of losing items on his body, Klein already had a plan. He planned to put his wallet, Azik copper whistle, adventurer's harmonica and other items into the suitcase when he changed his equipment, leaving only the "Creeping Hunger", the Murloc cufflinks and various talismans of the Poseidon domain, and pay close attention to the first two to prevent them from being lost.
According to probability, the most likely thing to be lost by the "Fire" gloves is the talismans, because they are the largest in number.
Klein wasn't worried about this. He had made several talismans with different effects. He could just use one, throw one, and drop one!
Besides, the metal corresponding to the Storm Domain is tin, which is very cheap and worthless. The extraordinary effect is granted by the "Poseidon Scepter" and does not cost any extra money... Klein muttered as he reached out and pushed open the window of his room.
At this moment, the huge gray-black monster made of pieces of meat climbed up a lot. As it approached, the hair of the busy sailors on the deck grew wildly and soon exceeded their waists.
This was not the most terrifying situation. The most horrifying thing was that one of the flaxen hair strands seemed to have its own life, crisscrossing left and right, entwining and binding its owner.
Similar changes occurred in clumps of hair one after another, and the brilliant sea of stars on the surface of the "Future" failed to completely block this influence.
For some pirates who shaved their heads, they were not lucky enough to be unique. Their nose hairs were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, blocking their breathing passages.
At the window of the captain's room, "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya had raised her arms at some point, with a scroll made of smooth fish skin in her hands.
"paralysis!"
As the ancient Hermetic spell echoed and the scroll burned silently, a light green light shot out from it and hit the monster's huge hand that appeared at the edge of the ship's side.
The wriggling mass of flesh made up of countless corpses did not stop at all, and slapped the brilliant sea of stars with one palm, causing bright light to splash everywhere and shaking the ship.
The deep purple color in Cattleya's eyes suddenly became richer. She did not take out a new scroll, but directly pushed her right palm forward.
"Cage!"
After the pirate general uttered the difficult and mysterious spell, the bright starlight surrounding her flew away one after another and descended on the terrifying gray-black monster.
The starlight condensed instantly, creating a huge transparent amber that wrapped all the squirming pieces of flesh and confined them to their original positions.
At this time, the "strongest hunter" Anderson had a dark and dull dagger in his right palm. It seemed to have layers of evil patterns on it, but it was just an illusion.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the terrible monster was trapped in the "Starlight Cage", a layer of blazing white flames emerged from Anderson's body surface.
The flames flashed forward, jumped out of the side of the ship, and fell onto the gray-black meat mass made up of countless corpses.
Then, a blazing white glow quickly moved across the surface, as if an extreme painting was being performed.
With a bang, fireworks shot up into the sky, and Anderson jumped back to the deck with a black dagger in his hand.
The huge monster was still frozen there, seemingly having lost all its vitality.
Crack, crack, crack! Deep wounds appeared on its body, and it split into countless small pieces of flesh in a second.
The attack power of the Reaper is really exaggerated... Klein, who had adjusted his items, just returned to the window and saw this scene.
Suddenly, his brows frowned slightly.
At this moment, something strange happened. The split pieces of flesh stretched out their "hands and feet" in various ways and catapulted towards the deck of the "Future" in an overwhelming manner.
This huge grey-black attacker seems to be never to be killed. How many pieces it is chopped into will turn it into as many monsters!
Silently, a mass of gray-black flesh jumped up from the deck opposite the captain's room and headed straight for the "Admiral of the Stars", trying to wrap around his head.
A figure emerged from the darkness and stood in front of Cattleya. It was the Bloodless One Heath Doyle.
His mouth opened, and the two sides split open, from his nose to his chest and abdomen, quickly forming a slowly wriggling "vortex" of flesh and blood.
The "vortex" sucked the gray-black piece of meat, then quickly rolled inward and wrapped it inside the body.
Heath Doyle fell onto the deck like a shadow, his body shook a few times, and finally returned to normal, while the gray-black piece of flesh that was split from the monster completely disappeared.
The most terrifying thing about this monster is its abnormal vitality. It would be great if I could steal this peculiarity... Klein used the "Levitation Spell" again and floated out of the window. He stretched out his right palm wearing a black glove and spread out his five fingers.
The scene before his eyes changed accordingly, and clusters of brilliant lights of different colors replaced the corresponding people and objects.
These lights are constantly changing and flashing rapidly, making it difficult to grasp the underlying rules.
With this perspective, Klein discovered that those gray and black pieces of flesh shared some brilliance. They seemed to be separated, but in fact they were one.
He then calmly closed the five fingers of his right hand, grabbed one of the balls of light, and turned his wrist to the right.
Suddenly, Klein saw the yellow-green light being drawn away and half-merged into his right palm.
This is the symbol corresponding to the "poisonous fog".
He stole the "poisonous fog" from the gray-black monster!
That’s what the Fire Gloves are for!
At the same time, Klein discovered that his extraordinary ability of "damage transfer" was lost and disappeared!
Within 12 hours, the same target can only be stolen once... Klein saw with enlightenment that the yellow-green mist covering the "Future" and corroding the brilliant sea of stars quickly thinned and was no longer noticeable, and the gray-black pieces of flesh scattered everywhere showed signs of drying and darkening.
The pirates took this opportunity to catch their breath, and "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya put a golden brooch on the front of her classical robe.
The brooch seemed to be made of gold and was in the shape of a bird with long tail feathers.
The atmosphere around them suddenly became calm and peaceful. All the panic and tension disappeared inexplicably. Even Klein was affected in an indescribable way and felt like he had become a zombie without emotions.
Just as the critical moment was approaching, a ship appeared on the ocean ahead.
It was also a sailboat, equally huge, and mostly dark in color with a hint of dark green.
Its pale mainsail depicts a dark tulip in full bloom.
This is the flagship of "Admiral Hell" Ludwell, the "Black Tulip"!
It is a frequent visitor to this sea area!
