"Why is there ice!?"
The aberration slid over the side of the ship with a "whoosh" and fell towards the sea: "Ha! That's right! Stupid human being, have you forgotten my tentacles!?"
"Bang!"
Salian Quaxor slammed into the sea water, but several of its tentacles flew out quickly and grabbed at the guardrails on both sides.
"Caught!"
"This is the feeling of my tentacles grabbing the guardrail of the boat! Although I didn't have time to see it clearly, I was very sure that I caught it, just like a cat likes cardboard boxes!"
Salian Quaxor crashed into the sea. At the same time, the snakes and reptiles curled up on the two tentacles clung to the guardrails farther away on both sides, saying strange metaphors while exerting force: "Wait for me, Human being, I will come up and eat you! I will excrete you like shit."
"Your next sentence is: this kind of trick, this kind of trick is meaningless in the face of the ultimate power!" As soon as he finished speaking, Griffith raised his hand, and an ice-condensed spear came out. ,
"This kind of trick, this kind of trick is meaningless in the face of the ultimate power!" Quaxor shouted.
Hey, how did he know?
Salian Quaksall caught a glimpse of Griffith diagonally above him throwing an ice spear and stabbing him in the head.
A thought immediately flashed through its rotting brain - danger, but as long as I unfolded the Shield of Destruction, there would be no problem.
After a very short flight, Griffith's ice gun hit the front of the head of Salian Quaxor, who was about to emerge from the water, and a scorching light flashed past.
At the same time, an earth-shattering explosion occurred.
The extremely high temperature caused the seawater to instantly vaporize, causing a huge explosive energy to be released directly around Salian Quaxor.
"boom!"
The explosion kicked up seawater more than ten meters high, mixed with the tentacle monsters that exploded into pieces and were thrown into the sky. The heavy seven-masted sailboat was also pushed to the other side by the shock wave.
Griffith, who was hanging high on the side of the ship, was almost knocked into the sea by the huge shock wave, and his face was poured by the hot water falling from the sky.
He hung on the side of the ship, looking at the pieces of meat spread on the sea below and sighed:
"Water vapor explosion, please understand."
…
The breath of the bug-man aberrations dissipated in the rolling sea water. The sea turned from boiling to calm. Many small or elongated pieces of meat were scattered on the sea. When Griffith used the insight crystal to observe, he could see dense green, red and black lines.
"Get down quickly!" Minos' will suddenly appeared, "Quickly!"
Griffith hurriedly jumped into the sea and immediately noticed that some nearby source matter was being absorbed by Minos. The remains of pieces of meat that covered the sea surface rose and fell in the waves, and soon sank to the bottom of the sea.
The remains of Salian Quark'Thor were swallowed up by the sea in the blink of an eye. His conspiracies, secrets, money and magical items also sank into the dark sea.
Unfortunately, only some source matter was collected. The extraordinary characteristics are gone too. There should be a lot of good things in Salian Quaxor, but they are gone. His money and real estate will probably be seized by the authorities, and a few of the gold coins may become my bounty~ Griffith thought regretfully of the loot that sank to the bottom of the sea.
But this was also what he expected. Once the power of the runes is used to fight, Griffith cannot leave any witnesses. Regardless of the special circumstances of Galadia and Sonia, the fact that they can use magic spells needs to be concealed as much as possible from others.
If you really can't hide it, just explain it by saying that you hold a certain sealed object or sacred weapon. However, if it is still difficult for the official to explain it carefully, the investigation may still detect his bone ring.
The operating mechanism and records of the runes provided by Minos could not be found in the library of Homemon Watts. This means that the rune energy is highly confidential, if not forbidden knowledge.
The more troubling problem is that if Griffith is subject to strict investigation and questioning, he is not sure that he can hide the fact that he was contaminated by the extraordinary characteristics of the corrupt vampire. If things come to that point, if Griffith doesn't want to spend the rest of his life as an experiment, he has only one option: to run away and become a bounty hunter on a distant border, or to open a bar there to spend the rest of his life.
Griffith immediately shook his head to drive away the ominous thoughts, hurriedly swam back to the side of the ship, grabbed the rope net hanging from the side of the ship and climbed up, pulled out the iron nails and wood chips that had penetrated his flesh, and gasped for breath. Angry.
"Griffith!" Amber, who had broken free from the state of fear, ran over and supported the tattered trainee knight, "Have you killed it? I can no longer feel Salian Quaxor's Breath, how did you do it?"
"Oh, it's just good luck," the trainee knight breathed slowly, paying attention to the girl's reaction calmly, "it lost its footing and fell into the sea, detonating its own magic."
The violent, brief battle between Griffith and the bug-human mutants tore apart several cabins and a large section of the Equinox's deck. However, just a few minutes after the battle began, Quaxor fell into the sea and exploded. In this brief chaos, Amber, the crew, and passengers, who were trapped in a state of confusion and fear outside the barriers of the cabin, could not notice Griffith's secret.
"I'm so... so useless," Amber bit her lip with a face filled with self-blame, "To think that I would be raped by something like that..."
"It's nothing. It's common for different attributes to suppress each other. That's why we have to team up. Did you see my exquisite battle just now?"
When he was knocked away, Griffith was injured on his forehead and blood was flowing all over his face. He slightly squinted his blood-covered eyes, paying attention to Amber's expression, and asked calmly.
"This is not the time for you to be cool," Amber shook her head helplessly and looked at the wounds all over Knight Xi's body with concern, "I'll take you to bandage first. Have a drink later! I'll treat you!"
Ah, very good. Griffith saw no expression of concern or remorse on Amber's face, and felt slightly relieved.
…
The ship's doctor skillfully cleaned Griffith's wound, pulled out the broken wood fragments and scraps of iron, and then carefully disinfected it.
"I suggest you do another holy treatment to eliminate infection after you get ashore, although I don't think it will be necessary with your self-healing ability," the ship's doctor said while washing his hands. "I will prescribe another medicine for you, once a day. Lasts three days. If there are signs of infection, you must seek medical attention promptly."
"Thank you, doctor." Griffith turned and looked at himself in the mirror. The wounds all over his body have healed. In the absence of functional trauma and bone dislocation, the healing ability of a strength-type Extraordinary can repair injuries and eliminate infection and many diseases. Not to mention Griffith also has powerful self-healing abilities.
"No, thank you, young man!" the ship's doctor said cheerfully, "I have served at sea all my life and have seen wars and pirates, but this is the first time I have seen a monster so close in front of me today. It's like a dream, why let us Have you encountered it? You didn’t expect it, either.”
That's not the case, that's why I came here, but I didn't expect the mission to be so much more dangerous than expected. This is definitely more than D-level! Griffith muttered to himself and shrugged helplessly at the doctor.
"Okay, I'm going to treat the next patient," the doctor handed Griffith's coat over, "Have fun."
What are you having fun with? Griffith walked out of the clinic while putting on his coat.
"Hey! Are you ready?" Amber stood by the cabin door, looking at Griffith who had not yet put on his shirt and raised the corners of his mouth, "The lines are good!"
"What's the good news and bad news?" Griffith slowly buttoned up.
"There is no serious damage to the ship's hull. We will arrive at Neopolis Island as planned," Amber smiled as she watched Griffith button his shirt. Her eyes moved upward from the strong abdominal muscles to stay on the broad chest and wealthy On the three-dimensional shoulder blade, "When the sailors were cleaning up the wreckage, they found "Lin Yuan Ji" floating on the sea. Can you slow it down a little?"
…
"Lin Yuan Collection" lay quietly on the table in the captain's cabin.
According to the sailors who salvaged it, the ancient scroll was wrapped in a dim light, floating on the sea full of debris as if waiting for someone. The pages of the book were not stained by water.
This is the sealed object that Quarksol planned during this voyage. In order to fight for the scroll, wealthy West Coast merchants transformed themselves into monsters and killed several passengers and sailors.
Judging from Quaxor's ability to devour crew members and the curled snake reptiles wrapped around his hands, he was already an aberration before he obtained the "Lin Yuan Shu" from Councilor Milovan Neville. But when fighting Griffith, Quark'Thor's appearance showed obvious rotten and swollen features, like a corpse.
Deformation and corpse transformation are two completely different states, probably caused by different reasons.
That is to say——
Perhaps through this ancient scroll, the holder will master a powerful flame magic shield that can blow himself up, or turn himself into a corpse-like monster.
After realizing this, Griffith looked at "Lin Yuan Ji" with fear.
At this moment, Mr. Ange, the captain of the Equinox, reached out and touched the cover of the ancient scroll: "This thing is invulnerable to water and fire, it's amazing!"
"careful!"
"Don't!"
Griffith and Amber jumped together.
"What? What's wrong?" Captain Ange looked at the two of them doubtfully, "Don't be nervous, nothing happened when the boys picked up this ancient scroll."
"Don't be careless, Mr. Captain," Amber shook his head. "The threat of sealed objects is not limited to what is visible to the naked eye. I suggest that you and the crew members who come into contact with this ancient scroll do a black magic test after arriving at the port."
It's not a suggestion, it's a compulsion... Griffith made a mental note to the captain that he would notify the Defense Against Dark Arts department to take action after arriving at the port.
"We need to physically isolate it first," Griffith added. "Mr. Captain, please find a sturdy box. We will lock it and Amber and I will take turns guarding it until we reach Neopolis." until the island is taken over by the mage stationed there.”
"Okay, okay!" Captain Ange found an empty box and locked the ancient scroll in it.
