The Rhoside Archipelago is the ruling fulcrum of the Kingdom of Loen in the Central Sonia Sea, and is also a key parish of the Storm Church. A senior deacon who can participate in the cardinals' conference is stationed here for a long time.
Of course, even pirates of the general's level might not be able to alarm such a big shot, let alone the so-called second mate and boatswain. Deacon Cordova Roye happily accepted the order and led two teams of "Manufactured Punishers". He activated the seals "2-37" and "2-166" and ambushed at a distance from No. 15 Xiangshu Avenue to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
In Cordova Roye's opinion, a team of "Made in Punishment" with two seals was enough to deal with the group of "Steel" and "Flame" Danitz, but the latter's behavior of paying attention to the whereabouts of the pursuers made him a little worried. He intuitively thought that there was a certain problem, so he called another team of "Made in Punishment".
In fact, "2-37" is enough... While waiting, Cordova Roye suddenly sighed.
In his opinion, this seal will be a nightmare for people like "Steel" and "Flame".
He closed his eyes, and the corresponding information naturally emerged in his mind:
"Number: 37."
"Name: Eternal Dream."
"Danger level: '2', dangerous, use with caution and moderation, only actions involving more than three people or deacons or diocesan bishops can apply."
"Secrecy level: Bishop, team leader, and above."
"Sealing method: Place in boiling water."
“Description: It looks like a heart, is dark in color, feels cold to the touch, is full of holes, and often makes a bagpipe-like sound.
“This item comes from a primitive tribe in West Balam of the Southern Continent. They are led by a spirit shaman and live a life of resting during the day and moving at night.
"A Loen army conquered this tribe and obtained the item that was offered on the altar. In the following week, soldiers began to become insane, go crazy, and commit suicide.
"Studies have shown that anyone who comes into contact with this object will enter a long dream. If they are not awakened, they will remain in that illusory world forever, showing emotions such as anxiety, fear, and confusion, and their psychological and physiological states will gradually change.
"The awakened researchers still couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams for a long time, which led to a series of tragic events, including but not limited to expressing love to their boss, kissing the mouth of a poisonous snake, suffering from depression, taking off clothes and running naked, and trying to take a bath with boiling water... If they were not transferred to another city, the only possible endings would be madness or suicide.
"This item can be used to make all living creatures within the target range enter the same dream... The user can choose the target within a certain limit, excluding companions... The maximum range is a radius of 50 meters. Exceeding this will cause a great burden to the user and leave a strong mental trauma... The user will enter a state where he cannot distinguish between reality and dreams. He must leave the city where '2-37' is in order to have hope of recovery.
"There are several cases (see Appendix) where this object has a wide range of effects on those around it, even without contact, unless it is placed in boiling water..."
"Addendum: 1. Similar to the "nightmare" effect of Night Path, but more prominent and uncontrolled.
"2. Example 1: A caretaker forgot to add charcoal, causing the flame to go out and the boiling water temperature to drop. He soon began to behave abnormally, suspected of dreaming about his beloved girl, and made a passionate confession to his boxing glove, and tried to have a relationship beyond friendship with it; Example 2..."
As his thoughts turned, Cordova Roye suddenly saw "Flame" Danitz. The fourth boatswain of the "Golden Dream" had indeed come to this contact point to collect intelligence.
He gestured, signaling the "Made-in-Punishment" team members next to him to open the golden square box engraved with many symbolic symbols and magical signs, and take out the sealed object "2-37" soaked in boiling water.
This golden box is another sealed object, "2-166".
It can keep the items inside at their original temperature and change the weather to a certain extent, causing a rain of "sun holy water".
Of course, it also has great negative effects, otherwise the "Managed Punishers" would have used it to seal "2-37" long ago instead of taking a temporary shortcut. Among them, the most unacceptable thing is that no matter what the object is, as long as it comes into contact with it long enough, it can be infected with the characteristics of life and devoutly believe in the "Eternal Sun". Within the "Managed Punishers", there have been tables that sing praises to the "Eternal Sun" every day, and every second they want to light their own candles to purify everything.
——The violent "Mandated Punisher" turned the table into a pile of firewood, and it was the candle at the back that lit it.
Seeing figures appearing one after another and rushing into No. 15 Xiangshu Avenue, Cordova Roye pressed his right hand without hesitation and asked the team members beside him to activate the seal "2-37".
Illusory fish scales immediately appeared on the surface of the team member's palm, and he directly grabbed the sealed object that looked like a black heart from the boiling water.
The melodious sound of bagpipes rang out, and the misty night enveloped the house at No. 15 Xiangshu Avenue.
The scene before the eyes of adventurer John Smith and his companions remained the same. It was still the empty living room without furniture and the Flame Danitz wearing a black cloak. There was no sense of entering a dream at all.
They ran forward, shot hard, and used their abilities hard, successfully seriously injuring "Flame" and capturing this famous pirate who had a bounty of 3,000 pounds and was involved in the "Key of Death".
However, in the real world, they are doing high leg raises on the spot, or stretching their arms like swimming, or making guns with their fingers and making bang-bang-bang sounds with their mouths.
"Action!" Cordova Royer left his hiding place first and rushed to the house at No. 15 Xiangshu Avenue. The "Substitute Punishers" team members in other places were divided into two groups and completed the encirclement from different positions.
Before Cordova arrived, the living room was already brightly lit, as if the sun was rising, and holy and pure drops of water were falling like rain. It was the seal "2-166" that was taking effect.
At a distance, the flying carpet was quietly suspended, obscured by darkness. When “Steel” McVitie and the others saw the “Manufactured Punishers” appear, they realized that this was indeed a trap set by “Flame” Danitz.
"This son of a bitch actually defected to the Church of Storms!" Maiviti growled with a crazy look in his eyes.
Bloody Thorn Huntley glanced at the calm Squall and praised him sincerely:
"Luckily, we weren't careless."
“In fact, I didn’t expect that the stupid ass ‘Flame’ Danitz would cooperate with the Church of Storms.” Squall said calmly, “Perhaps, he was already captured by the ‘Manufactured Punisher’ when he was injured, and had no choice but to cooperate.”
They were about to leave when they suddenly saw something emerge from the shadows outside the house at No. 15 Xiangshu Avenue, sticking to the ground and moving quickly away.
"Flame!" "Steel" McVitie recalled the scene of the previous failed ambush.
“Danis!” Huntley also recognized the guy who tried to escape with his miraculous ability.
Squall was stunned at first, then he understood:
"Either 'Flame' Danitz wanted to take this opportunity to escape the control of the 'Manufactured Punisher', or he had another trap for us, but somehow he provoked the 'Manufactured Punisher', so he had no choice but to give up and flee in a hurry."
"No matter what, this is an opportunity!" Bloody Thorn Huntley glanced at the Mandated Punisher who had just rushed into the house and said, "As long as we seize those few tens of seconds, we can kill or abduct Flame before the Mandated Punisher's eyes!"
"Iron" McVitie suddenly became excited, and his eyes became extremely crazy.
After Squall nodded, he said to the other two Beyonders:
"Take my zombies and puppets and stay here. Once the Mandated Punisher comes after us, let them create chaos and you can take the opportunity to escape!"
"Yes, boss." The two extraordinary pirates jumped off the "flying carpet" at the same time as the zombies and puppets.
The peacock blue carpet turned a corner and caught up to the front of Blazing Flame Danitz.
“You assist us and focus on guarding the surroundings. I’m worried that Danitz may have other helpers.” Squall hurriedly said to Bloody Thorn Huntley.
A smile appeared on Huntley's slightly pale face:
"good!"
Squall said no more and nodded to "Steel" McVitie.
Relying on his superior position, Maviti was able to distinguish the almost normal extra shadows and determine the direction in which the target was moving.
He suddenly jumped off the "flying carpet" and landed heavily on the ground like a huge rock. White frost condensed on the soles of his feet, and the cold and transparent ice layer spread rapidly to the sides.
The black shadow was immediately frozen in the corner!
With a snap, “Flame” Danitz struggled to break free and “grew” out from the shadows.
Huntley on the flying carpet cooperated well and dropped the things he had already held in his palms, which were green leaves, flowers and thorns.
The leaves, petals, and thorns either grew wildly in size or connected together, clinging to and entangling “Flame” Danitz, making it impossible for him to move.
Squall took the opportunity to jump out of the flying carpet, and using the momentum of his fall, he inserted the sharp scalpel in his right palm into Danitz's neck.
Phew!
He held the handle of the knife with his right hand, turned around and came behind the target.
Danitz's head fell off, and his body shrank rapidly, turning into a thin, tattered paper figure.
At the same time, "Iron" McVitie felt an indescribable strong hunger, and felt that it was like a terrifying monster lurking in the darkness, staring at him quietly.
No, not "flame"! As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, a white fireball compressed to the extreme flew over from a roof and hit his body.
"Iron" McVitie only did one thing in response, which was to raise his arms and block them in front of him.
Boom!
Flames exploded and air waves flew across the sky, blocking Squall and Huntley's vision, but they were not panicked at all and had strong confidence in "Steel".
Sure enough, Maiviti only had his clothes torn and his skin had some white marks, but he was not hurt at all.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw a crazy figure walking out of the rolling waves of fire in the air. Although he was wearing the black cloak of "Flame" Danitz, he had neatly combed black hair, dark brown eyes without any emotion, and a thin and cold face.
The Danitz just now was the Faceless Man Klein, and was Gehrman Sparrow who was preparing to hunt!
