Ring of Fate

Chapter 1069: Deep in the Fog Sea

"Out-of-Control Gaze" is a spell that can make angels appear to have obvious out-of-control tendencies. The more unstable the target's mental state, the better the effect.

But as soon as Toliopo cast the spell, the "magician" at the entrance to the wilderness disappeared.

She did not appear anywhere in the area and seemed to have left.

Toriopo's eyes narrowed as he watched the terrifying figure created by the "Uncontrolled Gaze" gradually disappear.

He did not take this opportunity to escape.

It was not that He did not want to, but it was too late. It was not until the "Queen of Stars" Cattleya entered the Wizard Tower that He received the revelation, made the corresponding prophecy, and spent some time interpreting it.

It was too late for Him to escape.

He could only come to the depths of this wilderness and wait patiently.

Waiting for an opportunity.

This method was not only interpreted by Him from His own prophecy, but also came from His understanding of the wilderness on the dark side of the "Wizard Tower" and His grasp of the past events of the "Moss Ascetic Order".

In just one or two seconds, the spell of "Out of Control Gaze" was completely over.

At the same time, Toriopo saw again the young lady in the black robe with silver stars.

Here she comes again.

…………

On the "Blue Avenger" which was struggling to sail through the fog and sea.

"Professor", "Periodic Table" and "Prototype" were all at sea for the first time. They all walked to the edge of the ship's side and looked into the distance where the light was dim and the waves seemed to be roaring.

"To the west...is this the depths of the foggy sea?" The "Professor" made a judgment based on what Franka had just said and the surrounding environment.

"Yes." The person who answered her was not Franca, but a middle-aged man who walked out of the cabin.

The man was of medium build, with rough skin and messy dark blue hair. He wore a linen shirt, a brown jacket and darker wide-leg pants. He had a dignified temperament and gave people the feeling that he had been in a high position for a long time.

"This is the captain." Franka did not introduce this as Mr. "The Hanged Man" from the "Tarot Club", but only told "The Periodic Table" and others that the other party was the owner of this three-masted sailing ship.

After bowing, the "Professor" said with a little curiosity:

"I heard that the western side of the Misty Sea is very dangerous, with frequent strong winds and huge waves. Even the official exploration fleet cannot continue to penetrate deeper. They can only establish forward bases and advance one channel at a time."

"In fact, the weather here is not as changeable and violent as that in the Raging Sea." Captain "The Hanged Man" said in a low voice with a hint of magnetism, "The dangerous thing here is the fog."

Most of the Beyonders on the Wizard Path have a strong thirst for knowledge. The Prototype repeated the Captain's words:

"fog?

"What's so dangerous about fog... that it can make the fleet lose its way, unable to find supplies, and unable to retreat?"

The Hanged Man smiled:
"Do you know why this ocean is called the Misty Sea? Why is it often foggy in the archipelago waters, and why is the weather completely different from that in the Sonia Sea?"

Recalling the explanations of various meteorologists in newspapers and magazines, "Periodic Table" touched the chemical symbols on his face and suddenly realized:
“Did it spread from here?”

The Hanged Man nodded slightly:
“The fog in this area sometimes contracts and sometimes expands. When it expands, it spreads eastward and affects the weather.

"The closer we get to here, the more foggy it gets and the slower it dissipates. By the time we get to the archipelago, the fog here will have to expand very dramatically before it can affect there."

"It turns out to be due to mysticism..." the "professor" muttered to himself.

The Hanged Man continued:
“Similarly, the deeper we go into this area and the further west we sail, the thicker the fog becomes and the harder it is to dissipate. Eventually, we can’t see anything but gray, thick fog, and we can’t determine our coordinates or the correct course based on any external conditions.

“I don’t know how many explorers and adventurers have disappeared here forever. Perhaps it will be a long time before their ships return from history in the form of unmanned ghost ships.”

Franca beside him listened with great interest:

So this is the true origin of the name of the Misty Sea?
Does this mist originate from Tianzun’s seal on the Western Continent?
"What about us?" asked the "professor" with some concern.

We are also going deep into this sea!
Compared to the "prototype" of "one person feeds the whole family", she and the "periodic table" both have strong concerns and are naturally more nervous and worried.

The Hanged Man looked around and said:

"Don't worry, I have been in and out of this sea area many times and have a certain understanding of the waterways here. We will not get lost before reaching our destination."

Of course, you are a top navigator... Franka muttered in her heart.

The Hanged Man added:
"These are experiences I gained at the cost of my life. I have also lost my way here, encountered danger, and the entire ship was almost lost several times.

"Luckily, with the blessing of the gods, I prayed in time and got the accurate positioning, which allowed me to successfully find my way back."

Seeing that the captain introduced his experience of exploring this sea area without pride, boasting, fear or timidity, the "Professor" and others gradually calmed down.

This is indeed a safe route that was explored with untold hardships and with the guidance of gods, and it is trustworthy.

At this moment, they all felt that the captain was very calm and reliable.

The Periodic Table looked at the sailor who was not strong enough to operate a three-masted sailing ship, and asked curiously:
“Is this a ghost ship?”

"Yes." The Hanged Man did not deny it.

At this moment, the entire ship was thrown up by the waves and flew in the air.

With a splash, a giant sea fish about twenty or thirty meters long emerged from under the sea.

Its entire body was covered with silvery-white metal armor plates that sparkled with the light of dawn, and streams of water that seemed to be made up of morning light gushed out of the pores on its head.

The water flow was like a giant sword wielded by God, slashing fiercely at the "Blue Avenger".

Such a scene is full of visual shock, making the "Professor", "Periodic Table" and "Prototype", who are used to fighting in small environments in cities, not know how to deal with it for a while.

Silently, a grayish-white color spread from the edge of the ship's side and collided with the giant sword of dawn that seemed to be wielded by the gods.

The morning light on the giant sword suddenly dimmed and turned gray.

It failed to create a "storm of light" and quickly turned into a stone sword, breaking into pieces and falling toward the sea.

At the same time, the "Hanged Man" flew into the air, with his dark blue hair spreading wildly like tentacles.

clap clap clap!
The "Hanged Man" clenched his fist and smashed out bolts of lightning.

These silver-white lightning bolts penetrated the sky and the ocean, striking the sea fish covered with silver-white scales.

Rumble, until this time, the thunder echoed.

Just as the "Professor" and others were staring in amazement at the captain's god-like thunderbolt to punish the sea monster, bubbles gurgled out of the sea where the "Blue Avenger" was about to fall.

Countless rotten creatures were crowded together as bubbles rose and burst.

A terrifying, strange call from the origin of life came from beneath the sea, sucking the "Blue Avenger" off its direction and heading straight towards it.

What fell before the ships was the grayish-white color. All the rotten, undead creatures instantly turned into stone sculptures. Even the blue sea turned into a cement ground, uneven with highs and lows.

Gray continued to go deeper beneath the sea surface, and everything became quiet.

The "Blue Avenger" landed steadily on the sea nearby. The "Professor" and others saw large pieces of gray-white rocks being broken into pieces by the surging water, some sinking and some floating.

"A Sequence 5 sea monster, 'Gatekeeper'?" Franka asked herself in confusion as she prepared to collect her spoils. "Isn't this ability too exaggerated?"

The first to attack the Blue Avenger should be the whale that had swallowed the Warrior Path Sequence 5 "Guardian" Beyonder characteristic.

"Different races and different environments will show different abilities." The Hanged Man landed on the deck and ordered the sailors to quickly harvest the Beyonder characteristics and valuable parts of the whale monster. "Also, you forgot that Sequence 5 is eligible to compete for the title of admiral at sea."

Listening to the conversation between the two, the "professor" finally realized:

The captain is the other demigod mentioned by the Hidden Blade.

The power of demigod is soul-stirring!

While using the "Witch" spider silk to drag up the "gatekeeper" sea monster lurking under the water, it was a flat, human-sized, dark black mutated sea urchin covered with spikes, and said casually:
"The deeper we sail into this sea, the more similar monsters we will encounter?"

"No." The Hanged Man shook his head. "The most dangerous thing is the environment itself and each other. Of course, as long as we stay in the route that has been fixed in advance, there won't be much risk. These sea monsters have appeared in recent years and may be related to the war."

Seeing that the Professor and the others were clearly confused, the Hanged Man simply explained:

"After the 'God of War' was defeated, many Beyonder Characteristics fell from the astral realm to the land and the ocean. His kingdom of God also collapsed to a certain extent, and many items fell into reality."

So… Backstab Armor, no, “Arrogance Armor”, is this how it came about? The whale sea monster just now should also be… “Gatekeeper” is Sequence 5 of the “Death God” path, adjacent to the “Warrior” path. There are some related items in the “God of War” realm, which is normal… Franka suddenly realized, waiting for the Beyonder characteristics mixed with paleness and pitch black to be gradually precipitated.

She and Lumian will need to gain more believers in the future, which requires priests to preach, so they have to prepare some extraordinary characteristics for their subordinates.

After collecting the spoils, the Blue Avenger continued to move forward.

As we sailed deeper, the gray fog around us became thicker and thicker, and we could no longer see clearly what was happening more than a few dozen meters away.

During this process, the "Professor" and his companions could occasionally spot something floating in the mist, such as looming mountains, vague islands, and a huge figure that seemed to hold up the sky...

The Hanged Man did not introduce himself, but simply told them:

“It seems so close, but it is actually so far away that it cannot be reached.”

After a long time, when the gray fog became thicker than usual, the Hanged Man suddenly said to Franka:

"We are almost at our destination. Please inform Ms. Hermit and tell her that she can enter the headquarters of the Moss Ascetic Order."

…………

Inside the dark side tunnel of the wizard tower.

Ms. "Hermit" continued to go deeper. Her duty was to delay the top leaders of the "Moss Ascetic Order" as long as possible until friendly forces arrived.

Suddenly, she stopped in an area where there were a lot of broken stone pillars.

She saw a familiar figure.

That was the vice president of the "Moss Ascetic Order", another "pillar" that she could not see through, Letitia Austin.
