Mystery: Start with the Reader

v1 Chapter 358: Warring

On the sea surface, a bronze illusory door full of mysterious patterns and full of indescribable taste suddenly opened, and a large amount of black mist spread out from it, like a palm that only stretched out, dragging everything that can be touched People or things, head towards the door.

   On the flagship "King's Blade" of the Fourth Squadron of the "Undead King", the Fleet Commander Gravina, who has the title of "Gray Giant", frowned when he saw this scene.

  Gravina is more than 2 meters tall and has an unhealthy grayish-white skin. At first glance, he thought he was a dead person.

   He is only in his 30s, but he has long lost his hair. In order to conceal this, Gravina deliberately wore a blue and white navy officer's hat.

   "Admiral, there is news from the'Giant Claw' and the'Sharp Teeth' that they have activated steam power. But they still can't get rid of the inexplicable attraction." At this time, a pirate came to report.

  Gravina used to serve in Fosac’s regular navy, so out of habit, his subordinates have been calling him admiral.

   "This should be an effect achieved with ritual spells..." Gravina stared at the illusory door for a moment, with a judgment in his heart, he turned back to look at the pirate who had just come to report, and ordered,

  "Make Chester and Angelo ready for battle. All the cannons have been calibrated. Once they are dragged into the effective range by the ‘black mist’, they will immediately cover the nearby reefs and islands!

   "Before this, let me find out the details of the weird man!"

   After finishing speaking, "Grey Giant" Gravina controlled the "King's Blade" to give up the confrontation with the drag force, and moved forward for a long distance, only then restarted his power and stopped.

He stood at the bow of the ship, looked up at the figure floating in the air, and sternly asked: "This is the fleet of the'Undead King'. Who is your Excellency and why do you stop it? Do you know that this is against the immortal? The king is the enemy?"

Abner was not surprised when he saw him take the initiative to come over, and even dropped a little "flying" height, then folded his hands on his chest, concealed the puppet with his eyes, and replied with a smile: "Admiral Gravina, I'm here to negotiate."

While    was speaking, he recalled in his heart the information that "Lieutenant General Iceberg" Edwina had told him:

   "'Gray Giant' Gravina, Sequence 6'Dawn Rider'.

  "Because of driving the ghost ship of the'King's Blade' all the year round and being eaten back by it, the body has a tendency to transform into the dead.

   "He once served in the Fusac Sea Fleet, but after looting the main material of the potion to kill his colleagues, he had to flee and join the ‘undead king’."

   Except for the "Dawn Rider", the other two steam-sail hybrid warship captains are all Rank 7 powerhouses.

   They are Angelo the Arsonist and Chester the Navigator.

After   , there are nearly ten elites of Sequence 8 and Sequence 9, as well as an unknown number of magic items with unknown effects.

   Really speaking, this force is already very strong. If it can be "opened" in a head-on confrontation, it will be difficult for Abner to defeat it, and it may not even be possible to delay enough time.

   After all, in this world, if a low-sequence Beyonder cooperates tacitly, and has the right weapon and item matching, it is very likely to kill a mid-sequence powerhouse.

The Tingen team was actually much weaker than this configuration, but Ince Zangwill, who was in charge of the "0" Sealed Artifact, still did not dare to directly break into Channiss Gate to take the ashes of Saint Selena, but exhausted his conspiracy. Means weaken the night watchers are proof.

Back to the topic, "Grey Giant" Gravina heard the words of "Man in Cloak". He hadn't read the series of "Heroes" by Roselle and failed to comprehend the connotation of this "stalk", so he had to ask suspiciously. :

   "What do you want to talk about?"

   Abner, who held the "Doctor Strange" face, smiled and said, "I want to ask you to stay here quietly for half an hour. When the time is up, I will let you go... what do you think?"

   Half an hour is also the "blocking" time scheduled by Abner and "Lieutenant General" Edwina.

  Stay? His purpose is to prevent me from reaching the sea area that Wang presets on time? Is this "cloak weird" a friend of "Pale Admiral"? People from the Spiritual Religion Group?

   Gravina, with many thoughts flashing in his mind, sank, and asked coldly: "Are you kidding me?"

"Not so." Abner smiled and shook his head, then took a piece of cardboard from his arms with his gloved right hand and threw it to Gravina below, adding, "If you can make it easier. , I will pay the equivalent reward...This is my sincerity."

  Gravina cautiously did not take the piece of paper and let it fall on the deck. After checking it for some unknown method, he picked it up and found that there was only a line of Hermes text on it.

   Gravina glanced at the other two ships that were approaching while looking at the paper, and found that their gun windows were gradually opening.

   In order to attract the attention of the "cloak weirdo", he deliberately asked again: "What is this?"

"This is the ciphertext of withdrawal from the bearer account of Backlund Bank. There is 1,000 gold in this account... I said, I am very sincere." Abner said this, squinting his eyes and asked. "So, what's your answer, Admiral Gravina?"

   "Unfortunately, I can't accept it!" Seeing that the two ships were about to be in place, Gravina tore the piece of paper in half—of course, he wrote down the contents of the ciphertext before shredding.

Next, Gravina will issue orders to let the two ships shoot at the surrounding reefs to break the effect of the ritual, and together with the "King's Blade", he will entangle the "cloak weirdo" who is hard to deal with at first glance. .

   But when he opened his mouth to speak, he only heard a hollow voice that seemed to come from a distance:

"I……"

   He seemed to be firmly tied to every joint, his movements were stiff and sluggish, and his thoughts began to blur.

   At this time, the voice of the "monster in the cloak" seemed to reach his ears from far away: "Return...Answer...Wrong...Wrong..."

   After hearing these words, he rolled his eyes with difficulty, and then saw the weirdo take out a puppet head with black eyes from his left chest pocket, and almost "teleported" it to his side.

  Yes, Abner knew that Gravina was delaying time, but not only did not stop it, he was very cooperative...because he was also making the same plan

  ——Use the "marionette" from Intis Ambassador Beckron to gradually control the opponent's spiritual line!

  Although this magical item has natural flaws and cannot completely transform the target into a Secret Puppet, it can slow down its thinking, stiff body, and stagnant movements after initially controlling the "Spirit Line".

   This is enough!

   But just as Abner approached Gravina, the hull of the "King's Blade" suddenly jolted violently without warning.

   This bump made Gravina who could not stand still staggered, but he also got rid of the control of the "spiritual line" and finally regained control of the body.

   However, how could Abner fail to consider that the "ghost ship" would help its owner? Especially Gravina, who has been eroded by it and is about to merge with it, I am afraid that he has already connected with the "ghost ship"!

   Therefore, he did not give the opponent a chance to react at all, mobilizing the power accumulated in the "Almighty Heart", directly simulating the arm strength and speed of the "living corpse", and lifting the "Sword of Dawn" must be cut off.

   During this period, the ghost ship "King's Blade" summoned dozens of skeletons and ghosts, and rushed towards Abner regardless of life and death in an attempt to delay his movements.

However, they were all stopped by the "fire of light" released by the "Ring of Light" ring by Abner, and only a few part of them broke through the blockade ~lightnovelpub.net~ when they came close, they were again by the "Sword of Dawn". The "purification" effect of the belt is extinguished.

However, the sacrifices made by them did give Gravina an opportunity. Before the blade came, he was completely inspired by his extreme anger and fear, and he also condensed a hand of "dawn" brilliance in his hand. The sharp sword slashed away at Abner's waist with his backhand.

   He intends to use this dying style of play to force the opponent to stop attacking and win his life.

   What he didn't expect was that the "cloaked man" on the opposite side didn't even mean to stop, letting his attack fall on him, and the gleaming sword in his hand also slashed his neck at the same time.

   Without any accident, Gravina immediately broke his head and split into two halves!

   Grumbling, his eyes widened on the rolling bald head. Just before death came, Gravina was still muttering: "Why?"

   looked distressed at the cut in the blue tunic, Abner flew up again, avoiding the cables, nails and other objects projected by the "King's Blade", and then silently replied:

"Why? Because you accepted my'bribery', the power of that sword was naturally'weakened'... And the skin of my sword, in addition to the defense that comes with the'living corpse', also simulates the'dragon scales' 'And'phantom scales'...

   "So, Gravina...you can go with peace of mind!"
