Chapter 178 The Gatekeeper of the World of the Dead

"If I said it was just an accident, would you believe it?"

Wei En looked at the mountain-like deep sea beast. Although it was now unrecognizable and turned into a corpse, its huge size alone shocked people.

Its body is a strange gray color, covered with spikes that are as long as a human being. On the dozens of thick tentacles, due to the influence of death characteristics, the skin is either shriveled or covered with pustules, and more of them are corpses. The crater of flesh and blood after the explosion.

In particular, the huge mouth buried in the center of the tentacle was riddled with holes. You can imagine how miserable the scene was at that moment.

"Tsk, it's really shocking. I express my deepest condolences for your experience..."

The three bandaged monsters, their bodies wrapped in cloth trembled slightly, and their limbs were twisted and bent as if they were controlled puppets. Their empty eyes stared at Wei En, obviously very angry with him.

"you!?"

"The true Lord is above, please send down divine punishment to punish the blasphemer in front of you!"

"I, I'm going to kill you——"

kill me?

Wei En looked at them and chuckled: "Okay, but before that, I wonder if I am lucky enough to know your identities?"

After already knowing the weaknesses of these bandage weirdos, he didn't panic at all. No matter how strong it is, can it still be compared to the already cold deep sea monster next to it?

Although he was also very surprised that——

"Nago, Lizen!"

A strange man pulled out a silver necklace from his tattered gray robe. His roar was blocked by the bandage, and he shouted a sentence in Gonzalez in a dull and hoarse tone.

"Twilight Mystical Monk? Is this your identity?"

"Huh? How could you?"

The bandage geek didn't seem to expect that Wei En would be proficient in Gonzales. They looked at each other, and then the gray-yellow cloth strips on their bodies disintegrated and wrapped around Wei En.

The corner of Wei En's mouth moved slightly, was he angry now?

"Nico, Luke."

In this case, he doesn't intend to hold back any more. If he can deal with these people as soon as possible, he can leave this sea area as soon as possible.

Several flickering spells were cast, and dozens of phantom clones released charm spells at them in unison, completely controlling the three bandaged and dusk mystic monks.

"pity……"

Wei En looked at the bandaged weirdos who were motionless in a charmed state, and took out his sniper rifle to kill them one by one.

If possible, he would like to get more information from these weirdos, especially about the containment of murderous intent and the effect of the alchemy circle just now.

But it was obvious that these so-called twilight mystical monks did not intend to answer the doubts in his heart.

"Blasphemer, I curse you, you will perish and be completely swallowed up by the illusory world!"

The three bandaged monsters noticed the omen of death, struggled and roared: "Everything is an illusion!!"

[Wolfgang Sarabia... triggers the death characteristic - death, dead. Evaluation: A weak chicken is a weak chicken, even if it has the origin of high quality and power! Special rewards: Survival points +100, marksmanship +10, spirit level +5, toughness level +5. 】

【……】

[When you discover the origin that can be swallowed, should you use the soul-eating spell? 】

"It's not as simple as dying."

curse?

Wei En curled his lips and didn't pay attention to the nonsense of these mystic monks.

Then he looked around.

At this time, the entire Darkman Island had long since disappeared, and except for the corpse of the huge deep-sea beast, there was no living creature left.

But if you think about it carefully, it should be like this.

After the alchemy circle took effect, the attacks of natural disasters and aberrations killed almost all the creatures on the island and the surrounding seas. Coupled with the devouring of the deep sea monsters behind it, it can be said that there are almost no living creatures. biology.

In the end, his few corpse explosion techniques only detonated a large number of corpses and some deep-sea abnormal mutants, killing very few people.

Despite this, he still relied on the damage superposition effect of the Corpse Explosion Technique to catch the deep sea beast off guard and die immediately.

Although there is also a lot of luck involved - if a large number of corpses and aberrations hadn't gathered together and been carried towards the deep sea monster, the damage would not have been superimposed to such a terrifying level in an instant.

With this in mind, Wei En, based on the principle of shameful waste, asked the ghosts and others to start working and devour some of the remains of the corpses that had not been swallowed by the deep sea.

"Adagua!"

[You use the soul-devouring spell to devour the origin of the deep-sea aberrations, and your origin will be improved. Special reward: Origin +0.01. 】

[You use the soul-eating spell to devour Wolfgang Sarabia...your origin is improved. Special reward: Origin +4. 】

【……】

[You failed to use the soul-devouring spell to devour the unknown deep-sea monster. Evaluation: Insufficient spell level... Special rewards: +1 survival point, +1 experience point for soul-devouring spells. 】

Um?

Can't swallow it? !

Wei En opened the panel and took a look. He remembered that the soul-devouring spell had reached level 5. Wouldn't this still be able to devour the giant beast?

Occupation: Wizard (intermediate)

Toughness rating: 6814

Spirit level: 6711

Origin: 562 (563) (Seal 1 point of origin)

Survival point: 142311

"The rewards are quite a lot, but not as much as expected."

After thinking for a few seconds, Wei En understood the difference.

The corpse explosion technique just cast killed all the deep-sea abnormal mutants near Darkman Island. Other creatures that were already corpses were not counted as rewards.

Those deep-sea fishes near the island only have single-digit survival point rewards, and some even have no survival points at all.

And more than 80% of the reward is obtained by killing the deep-sea behemoth of the third-level disaster level in the end...

With this thought in mind, Wei En directly upgraded his soul-devouring spell, hoping to quickly devour the deep-sea beast.

He had already seen a ship approaching in the distance, and he would be able to get here in up to an hour.

Level 5 of the Devouring Soul Spell (2/50000)... (50000/50000).

[Soul Devouring Spell Level 5 (50000/50000), should it be improved? 】

【promote. 】

[Congratulations, your skill: Soul Devouring Spell has been upgraded from level 5 to level 6. Effect: Greatly improves the quality level of the source that can be swallowed, and greatly increases the speed of swallowing and absorption. 】

[Note: When the skill level is upgraded from level 6 to level 7, not only experience points are required, but also one's own professional level needs to enter the grand wizard level. 】

Forehead?

Wei En noticed the prompt information on the panel, and sure enough, he saw a gray font behind the soul-devouring spell - professional level not met.

He had previously thought that as long as he had enough survival points, his spells could be improved without limit.

Now it seems that the highest wizard level can only be raised to level 6.

"But level six spells are enough for use..."

He has panel assistance that can quickly increase the spell level. It took him so long to increase a spell to level 6. I think other wizards have more difficulty in improving it.

And with his current basic attributes, he is expected to be promoted to the level of great wizard soon, so it would be better to find ways to gain survival points.

"Adagua!"

The next second, four original sub-bodies flew out, the whole head expanded rapidly, opened its bloody mouth and pounced on the corpse of the deep sea beast.

Click! Click!

Several sounds like the sound of gold and iron ringing together sounded, and the expression on the huge face of the ghost's head changed from excitement to shock, and then flew back in frustration.

"Baba, it's so hard."

"Can't bite..."

"My teeth feel loose."

"Oooh, Baba, I'm sorry!"

[You failed to use the soul-devouring spell to devour the unknown deep-sea monster. Evaluation: I have already said that the level is not enough. You don’t think that you can devour it by upgrading it, right? Special rewards: +1 survival point, +1 soul-devouring spell experience point. 】

"Isn't this okay?"

Wei En was dumbfounded. Even the soul-devouring spell that had been upgraded to level 6 couldn't devour that deep-sea behemoth?

This, is its original quality level that high?

Or is it because of other reasons?

"What to do now..."

He looked at the giant deep-sea beast that had half of its body swallowed up by the sea water. The pair of dead-grey eyes stared at him, as if mocking - look, I'm dead, and there's nothing you can do about me.

"Tsk!"

Wei En frowned slightly and looked at the ships getting closer and closer in the distance. After thinking for a few seconds, he had an idea in his mind.

If you can’t swallow it, then transform it!

There are no level restrictions for undead transformation, right?

Snapped!

After receiving his instructions, the ghost cheered up and flew to the head of the deep sea beast, chanting the spell loudly: "Boa, Teoji, Syeji!"

A rune array slowly emerged on the sea surface, as if aware of the huge size of the deep sea beast, the entire array began to expand outwards, and did not stop until the rune lines and nodes covered it entirely.

Then streaks of gray smoke rose up, slowly submerging the corpse of the deep sea beast.

"Crunch, crunch..."

"A deep-sea behemoth that is about to become a legend?"

At this time, a cold voice came from the gray fog.

"Um?"

Wei En, who was waiting for the transformation result, was stunned for a moment, then flashed away after reacting.

Is there someone during the transformation process of the undead?

And he's still such a scary person?

"Hmm, wizard?" The owner of the voice noticed Wei En's presence and said with a hint of relief: "Young people are still capable, unlike those old guys from Ghost who are becoming more and more assholes..."

"You, you are?"

Hearing this, Wei En became more vigilant. Is this related to ghosts?

"Me?" The voice in the gray mist sighed faintly: "I am just an ordinary gatekeeper in the world of the dead."

"Watchmen?"

"Well, don't worry about it. This time I want to thank you for your contribution to the world of the dead. I will take it away..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the next second Wei En heard a roar from the gray mist that seemed to come from the abyss. The huge sound once again stirred the surrounding sea surface.

"Roar--"

[You successfully used the undead transformation (god of death) spell to transform an undead creature - the skeleton beast, obtain the identity of "Deadpool", and obtain a random talent ability - plague. Evaluation: Well, congratulations, you have added another general. Well, that's if you can summon it. Special rewards: +100 survival points, +10 toughness level, +10 spiritual level. 】

Deadpool? !

Wei En's eyes narrowed and he stared at the gradually dissipating gray fog. A huge creature slowly appeared, and the shadow of the previous deep sea beast could be vaguely seen.

It's just that now its entire body has turned into a skeleton shining with crystal light. Surrounded by white bone tentacles full of barbs is a huge oval head with no limbs or facial features, only a head full of A mouth with fangs, and a deep, dark eye.

"Roar--"

The single eye on the head of the giant skeletal beast seemed to take a deep look at Wei En, and it opened its mouth wide and let out a long roar again.

However, the next second, it was dragged in by the giant claws formed by the gray mist.

Only the roar produced by the collision and friction of bones echoed in his ears.

After a while, the sea gradually returned to calm, and Wei En breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the Ronan, with a new imprint connection in his mind.

"So clear?"

This time, after the skeletal beast with the identity of "Deadpool" returned to the world of the dead, he could still feel his presence.

And it was much clearer than the last time he transformed into a liaison officer. He could even detect the movements of the giant skeleton beast at this time.

At this moment, it seems that he has entered a place full of liquid. He is swimming up and down, left and right, and the tentacles around him are constantly poking around, bringing back some things and stuffing them into his mouth...

Eating?

No, are they devouring other undead creatures?

Wei En chuckled: "...I didn't expect it to be quite adaptable."

It seems that the giant skeletal beast has understood the survival rules of the undead world, and began to impatiently improve its strength as soon as it entered.

I don’t know if he can summon this giant skeletal beast through the undead summoning spell in the future. If he can... that would be great!

Wei En wiped the non-existent saliva from the corner of his mouth and looked at the gradually calming sea. The owner of the voice just now sounded in his mind again.

Watchmen?

It seems that some people in Ghost also know about his existence?

"It seems that when I have free time later, I need to reconsider the research center's invitation."

Judging from the information currently available, the Ghost School and the other four wizard schools are stronger than most forces.

As far as he knew, there were several legendary level wizards within Ghost, not including other great wizards.

Then Wei En thoughtfully took out the golden key and returned to the clown theater.

No matter what, this time was very rewarding.

Claire and others were still sitting at the dining table. After seeing his figure, their faces were filled with joy, "How's it going outside?"

"It's okay," Wei En grabbed a blue marlin and stuffed it into his mouth again, looked at Ronan and said, "Get ready to set sail."

Before those ships arrive, stay away from here quickly.

"As you command, Captain!"

Ronan almost jumped with excitement. In such a terrifying crisis, the red-haired captain was able to save the day. What else could stop him in the future?

He quickly ran to the rest area nearby and called out everyone inside.

"Weilen, hurry up and get everyone out. Captain, we have settled the outside matter, we need to set sail immediately!"

"solved?"

Willen and others were stunned for a moment, and then they were as ecstatic as Triangle Eyes.

"Long live Captain!"

At this moment, no one would doubt the red-haired captain's ability. Even Ronan was determined to hug the captain tightly in the future.

Ronan?

Go to hell,

From today on, he will be the second officer on board the Red Hair!

Claire glanced at the boiling pirates and asked softly: "How did you do it?"

The terrifying scene outside just like a natural disaster left a deep impression on her, especially the huge monster, which not everyone could solve.

Even Menor is the same!

Wei En said vaguely, "Maybe there is some flaw in the alchemy circle."

"Oh~"

Claire glanced at him charmingly and didn't ask any more questions.

She has been active in the extraordinary worlds of various city-states all year round. She has seen too many extraordinary people, and she knows very well that no one with extraordinary power is simple, and it is normal to have some unknown secrets.

Of course, even she is no exception to this!

Wei En knew she wouldn't believe it, so after quickly finishing the blue marlin on his hand, he took everyone back to the Ronan.

At the same time, he did not forget to use his deception talent to clear the memories of those pirates.

If it weren't for the emergency situation this time and the fact that Ronan and others were using it fairly smoothly, he wouldn't have exposed the existence of the theater.

At least for a short time, the Clown Theater will still be his biggest secret.

"start sailing!"

After Ronan identified the direction, he controlled the steamship and continued heading south.

An hour later, several three-masted sailing ships arrived in the waters where Duckman Island is located.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking at the sea with only some gravel and planks floating, and couldn't believe their eyes.

"What just happened here..."

"Where's Darkman Island?"

"Darkman Island disappeared?!"

"Who did it?"

Sounds of shock and disbelief resounded throughout the sea. After a while, a sailor shouted: "It seemed like a steamship just left here?"

"Yes, I saw it too."

"It seems to be the Ronan?"

"Yes, it's him?!"

There is no shortage of well-informed people on these ships that are active at sea all year round, and they soon think of the red-haired captain who killed Henrik before.

"Quickly, spread the word that Darkman Island was completely destroyed when the red-haired captain of the Ronan left."

"The suspected red-haired captain destroyed Darkman Island!"

The news was spread around like snowflakes, as if some shocking secret had been discovered.

…

…

On the sea 1,500 kilometers north of Duckman Island, a white five-masted sailboat with golden patterns was traveling south.

An old man with gray hair, a burly figure, and a set of white-gold armor, with a resolute face, was waving a two-handed sword on the bow deck and doing basic movements.

Either chop or sweep, wielding the two-handed sword like an airtight weapon.

"Asimio, has the location of the heretic been determined?"

"Sir Huberto, we have determined that he is near Duckman Island!"

"Full speed ahead!"

After saying this, Huberto inserted his two-handed sword into the sword box behind his back.

For some reason, when he thought about the deformed wizard who was wanted, he felt an ominous premonition.

He is just a deformed wizard who is only at the level of a great wizard.

how come?

Or is the great dawn calling me to that kingdom?

Oh, I’m really old...

Meanwhile, south of Duckman Island.

"Report!!"

When Youan heard the sound, he threw the playing cards in his hand into the pile without hesitation, stirred the cards a few times to disrupt them, and chuckled: "This one doesn't count."

"Damn it, you're cheating!"

Black Jack's face was covered with notes and he had a handful of good cards in his hand, staring at Euan angrily.

"Business matters." Euan spread his hands.

Seeing his rogue appearance, Black Jack reluctantly threw away his cards, looked at his nervous men, and hummed: "You'd better bring good news, otherwise..."

"First mate, someone just sent a letter saying that Red Hair destroyed the entire Darkman Island!"

"What?!"
