Chapter 700 Boarding
After taking charge of the three demigod-level mystical items, Xifa returned to the deck. At this time, the 'Discovery' had already started to evade, trying to avoid the huge monster coming from the dense fog.
boom! bang bang!
There were muffled cannon fires in the thick fog, but there was no fire, only water columns were constantly exploding around the 'Explorer', and it was unclear whether the giant boat opposite was calibrating the artillery or warning.
After a burst of cannon fire, someone exclaimed: "Look, what are those things on the water?"
Xifa walked to the side of the boat, looked towards the sea, and saw the place where the water column was blown up just now, there were bodies floating up quickly, which looked like dead bodies.
Suddenly, a corpse twitched and followed towards the 'Explorer'. It was not difficult to see under the light of the lantern. Its hair was messy, one eyeball was missing, its skin was livid, and the muscles on its cheeks were rotten, exposing its gums.
This is a living corpse!
One after another, the living corpses were swimming towards the 'Explorer'. They were piled up beside the ship, but they did not climb onto the sailboat. However, being surrounded by these living corpses, it was difficult for the 'Explorer' to leave.
Looking at the densely packed living corpses in the sea, looking at this sea of corpses, Xifa couldn't help but think of the scene when he met Admiral Hell.
At this time, the giant boat had already appeared from the dense fog. It was like a building sailing on the sea, with a height of seven or eight stories. Compared with it, the "Explorer" was like the gap between a child and a giant.
From the high prow hung a huge skull that looked like some kind of sea beast, but with curved horns and chains running through the black eye sockets to hold it in place.
At this time, two groups of black and green flames burned in the eye sockets of the sea beast's skull, and they looked at the 'Explorer' like two eyeballs, making Xifa's back feel cold, and the blood in his whole body almost condensed.
He knows what happened to him.
Celeste!
The "cursed ship" that Ken Anders once said, it is a sea devil, a living nightmare!
"We mean no harm."
A somewhat windy voice sounded from the bow of the ship. It was like someone who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly spoke, with slurred words and difficult syllables.
Sifa raised his head and saw an old pirate jumping up from the high bow. He was wearing an old boat-shaped hat with seaweed and shells stuck to it.
His hair was gray, his complexion was pale, and his figure was staggering like he was drunk. This made one eyeball in his left eye fall out. There was still a bunch of nerves attached to the thing. The old pirate quickly stuffed it back, and said in his throat : "Damn, it's been so long since I've spoken, I hope my vocal cords haven't completely rotted."
As he spoke, he coughed a few times, and a fat sea cockroach crawled out of his mouth.
The old pirate caught it, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed and said: "As I said just now, we have no malicious intentions, otherwise, you have become monsters and you have been captured."
"We are tracking a human being. For more than half a year, when that human being sleeps at night, he should occasionally have some special dreams about a man named 'Ebrio'."
"We're pretty sure that man is on your ship, and our captain wants to talk to him."
"You don't want to hand over anyone to prevaricate us. Although our brains are not working, we still have the ability to distinguish between true and false."
"So, where is that lucky guy?"
Xifa was very surprised. The cursed ship 'Celeste' came to Abrio. Is it because Abrio escaped from them, so this ghost ship has been chasing him?
And I, who was connected with Ebrio for some reason, has now become the target of 'Celeste'!
Xifa raised her hand and said loudly, "It's me!"
"I'm the one you're looking for."
The crew members next to him all looked at Xifa, and Naifei stood beside Xifa nervously, and said worriedly: "Boss, what do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." Xifa called out to the old pirate on the bow again: "I can meet with your captain, but I have a condition, you must let my ship leave, otherwise I will use up everything Strength to resist."
The old pirate turned his head back at this time, as if he was asking for instructions, and turned around after a while and said: "Today is your lucky day, yes, our captain agreed."
He waved his hand, and the living corpses surrounding the 'Explorer' dispersed, allowing the sailboat to leave. At the same time, a huge, wide and thick blue-gray tongue protruded from the mouth of the sea beast's skull, and it reached the ship's side of the 'Explorer' like a spread carpet.
The old pirate waved to Xifa: "Come on."
Xifa turned back to Nelson and said, "After I go up, you stay away immediately and approach Bayam, and I will go find you."
After he finished speaking, he was about to jump onto the side of the boat and onto the tongue, but he heard Nefei shout from behind: "Boss, I'm going too!"
She is already a Dawn Knight of Sequence 6. At this rank, Neferi has the effect of dispelling Wraith Shadow, and the morning light can also weaken evil spirits.
So Xifa nodded, and with the captain's permission, the girl's eyes lit up slightly, and then the body was filled with light like the morning sun, and made them condense into gauntlets, breastplate, shoulder armor, skirt armor, leggings, and a crown helmet.
But unlike Levtor, Nefer's silver-white armor covering the whole body is a little thinner, but its shape is more graceful.
The crowned helmet covered the part above Nefi's nose, only revealing a small half of his face; on the shoulder armor on both sides, there were graceful feather patterns, as if two holy white wings would be stretched out there at any time.
The breastplate covered with beautiful patterns completely protected Nefei's upper body, and it was seamlessly connected with the skirt armor, and clusters of jewel-like rays of morning light were embedded on the armor leaves of the skirt armor.
The leggings connected to the combat boots extend all the way to the thighs for protection, and both the combat boots and the leggings have patterns in the shape of leaf veins, and they are shining with morning light.
As for the gauntlet, it emphasizes flexibility and provides certain protection. There is even a round shield condensed by the morning light on the left hand. There is a pattern of a girl closing her eyes and praying on the shield.
As Nai Fei stretched her right hand forward and grasped it, the light of the morning sun roared and converged, forming a broad sword in her hand that was thick but moderate in length. Symbols flashed on the sword, showing its specialness.
In a simple comparison with Levtor's 'Dawn Knight', Xifa believes that Nefer will be slightly weaker in attack and defense, but far superior to Levtor in terms of flexibility.
The combination of sword and shield can deal with more situations, and can defend or attack as needed. I don’t know, is this unique to Nephi, or is it the difference between male and female knights?
Nefei took the lead, jumped onto the side of the boat, and jumped onto the blue and gray wide tongue, only felt that the force was hard, not the softness as imagined before.
She turned her head and nodded towards Sifa, and then walked forward, if any danger happened, she would be Sifa's 'shield'.
"Look at them."
Seefa looked at Calvin, nodded to him who was already a 'faceless man', then landed on the tongue, and followed Nefei.
Walking on the wide green tongue like a bridge, Xifa looked down, and the sea below was densely packed with living corpses and other undead creatures. He and Nefei seemed to be walking above the abyss, but unfortunately there was nothing at the end Pure land of heaven.
At the end is a door, which connects to the interior of the cabin of ‘Celeste’. When the two of Xifa walked in and entered the cabin, there was a feeling of entering a living body.
This feeling comes from the sticky floor in the cabin, from the varying areas of flesh and blood covering the walls of the cabin, and from the dark red veins that look like nerves or blood vessels.
Except for Xifa and the other two in the cabin, all that remained were white skeletons wearing leather armor or no clothes, old living corpses wearing hats and clothes, and translucent ghostly ghosts or wraiths. Strange spirit creatures, water ghosts with wet bodies and sea cockroaches all over their bodies.
These inhuman things looked at the two of Xifa with their eyes dyed with dark green flames, as if they were about to rush up and swallow them and chew them at any time.
Xifa tapped the white scabbard of 'Devil May Cry', and a circle of invisible warm fluctuations immediately spread, warming the surroundings suddenly, and filling the hearts of himself and Nefei with courage.
This is the effect of the 'sun halo'.
Skeletons and living corpses who naturally dislike sunlight and warmth, shadows and water ghosts retreated instinctively, not wanting to get close to the two who were shrouded in halos, which allowed the two humans to move forward calmly, and finally walked out of the cabin and onto the deck.
The deck of Celeste was as huge as a square, and the masts on this gigantic ship were as thick as stone pillars, and the sails almost covered the sky when they were spread out.
The deck is relatively normal, at least without the organization that those creatures have. Of course, there are creatures from the undead domain everywhere on the deck, and there are also many creatures from the spirit world and the underworld. Those things sometimes penetrate into the deck, and sometimes protrude from the mast and sail. faces.
Countless sights, bright or dark, cast from everywhere, falling on the two of Xifa.
Xifa is okay, but Nefei is obviously nervous. The girl tightly holds the morning broadsword in her hand, her back is slightly arched, and she is ready to fight at any time.
"Abrio!"
Suddenly there was a roar, and Xifa's inspiration was touched. When he looked slightly to the left, he saw a figure rushing out from there.
It was a thin man with brown hair and beard, about forty years old, with an ugly scar on the left side of his face, as if he had been burned by a fire.
This man's skin was ashen. Although he was thin and thin, he was unexpectedly full of strength. When he ran, he made dull and loud footsteps, and the temperature around him dropped significantly.
Sifa recognized him.
That's Sabog, who was once a member of Nast's crew, betrayed Abrio, and was finally captured by Celeste.
Apparently he has become a member of Celeste.
"Abrio!"
Sabog let out a roar, and grabbed Sifer with two iron-blue arms. Those pitch-black nails quickly climbed up the white frost, and he was about to catch Sifa, but he was caught by a hand with mysterious symbols shining like rays of light. The broad sword fell on the wrist.
when!
The collision of the two produced the sound of gold and iron.
Nai Fei let out a "huh" and found that he cut off Sabog's hands as he expected. This sword only left white marks on those two arms, but the morning glory on the white marks made Sabog His skin sizzled, as if burned.
"Be careful, this is a 'living corpse'." Xifa reminded.
Nefei's attack was in vain, and immediately set up the shield. She shrank slightly behind the round shield, and then pressed her whole body to hit it hard.
boom!
Sabog staggered back after being hit, stopped, looked at Nefer and stomped heavily.
Immediately, frost appeared on the deck, spreading rapidly in the direction of Nefer, trying to freeze her.
The surrounding area of Nai Fei suddenly lit up, and the surrounding space of 40 to 50 meters was filled with morning light. These rays of light enveloped Sabog at once, weakening the inhuman him immediately, so that the frost spread to the feet of Nei Fei. It also stopped, and it was difficult to continue.
Nai Fei rushed forward decisively, and used the ice on the deck to slide, and the broadsword pierced the target's head with a posture of piercing the human body.
Naifei knew that the living corpse, only by destroying its head, could truly kill it!
Saberg yelled, leaped skillfully to the side, and rolled on the spot.
Naifei stabbed the air with her sword, she simply turned around and kicked Sabog away like a ball.
Falling into the undead creature, Sabog got up, pointed at Nai Fei and shouted: "Tear that bitch!"
In the eyes of some living corpses and ghosts, the dark green inside suddenly flourished, and they rushed towards Naifei with a dull and cold expression.
Naifei raised the broadsword high and slashed at the charging enemy forcefully, splitting out patches of light and a terrifying storm.
This is Dawn Knight's Storm of Light!
Endless rays of light roared, washing over the living corpses and ghosts, destroying their bodies and annihilating their figures. This made a large deck in front disappear, exposing the cabin below.
But soon, a mass of flesh-like things surged up from the gap, and they quickly filled the gap, regenerating the deck.
At this time, Sabog wanted to rush up again, but a sticky tentacle or bloody arm caught it. The tentacles tightened its neck, and the arm hugged Sabog's leg, making it difficult to move.
Then the old pirate came over and waved his arms as if driving a wild beast, separating the weird creatures in front of him from left to right, revealing a 'passage' leading to the captain's room.
"This way please, two, the captain is getting impatient." The old pirate gave a strange smile and led the way ahead. When he passed by Sabog, he spit out a mouthful of sticky liquid and landed on the face of the living corpse, "Who Give you the right to act without authorization? You idiot, just wait to be punished."
Hearing the word 'punishment', Sabog trembled all over. He was about to say something when a living corpse next to him suddenly jumped up and bit his face fiercely.
Then more living corpses, skeletons, water ghosts, creatures from the spirit world and the underworld rushed over, surrounded Sabog, and drowned him. Only his screams and begging for mercy could be heard from that 'hill' come out.
