Chapter 272 Secret: The Origin of the Blood Plague

Byron spread out his palms, and accompanied by a dazzling flash of lightning, an extremely tall shadow slowly emerged from behind him.

He was a burly old man with a blurred face and obviously blind in his right eye.

He wore a golden horned helmet and bright silver armor, and was accompanied by two hounds and two ravens on each side.

As long as you have a little knowledge of the mythology of the Northern Bay people, you will know that this very distinctive image belongs to Woden, the god of prophecy, royal power and wild hunt!
Of course, this is just what is described in ancient mythology.

Since the beginning of the Silver Age, the only god in the world has been the Bound Creator, and no one has ever seen the King of the Wild Hunt again.

The phantom handed the spear in his hand that was flashing with electric light into Byron's palm, and the spear instantly solidified.

The gun barrel seemed to be made of some kind of golden wood, and the gun head was a translucent blue crystal. There was a string of rune characters engraved on each side, one side read "hunting" and the other side read "taming".

Byron inexplicably felt that among the series of extraordinary knowledge he had mastered, even if he had never studied runes, he could understand their meaning at a glance.

"Is this the [Guaranteed Gungnir] that belongs to the Wild Hunt god Woden in mythology?"

Only then did he have time to check the information about his new abilities.

“According to legend, the weapon of Woden, the God of Prophecy, Kingship, and the Wild Hunt, is called Gungnir, the Spear of Certainty, also known as Kungunir.

In the apocalyptic battle that ended the mythological era, it was this god who wielded this spear and delivered the first blow.

The custom of the ancient Taiwanese people in the cold weapon era, when fighting, usually the commander would throw a spear at the enemy first, was inherited from this.

When Worden throws this gun, it emits a light that illuminates the sky. People on the earth call it "lightning", and another term is "meteor".

According to ancient myths and epics, whoever swears on this gun will have his oath fulfilled.

This is the origin of why mortals throughout the Old World today like to make wishes at shooting stars and believe that their wishes will come true.

The ability of the gun is quite simple and powerful, which is 'it will hit the target once you throw it'!
It is a magic gun that can hit anything it wants to hit, and then automatically return to the owner's hand. "

"One side is the [Taming Spear]: It is limited to use on non-human creatures. After hitting the target, it will automatically enter the spiritual world. Only by subduing the prey with one's own will can one truly subdue the opponent.

If you are forced to break free or are suppressed by the other party, you may suffer mental trauma.

The more objects you tame, the heavier the burden will be, so please do it according to your ability."

Byron felt that with this thing, his title of "Sea Hunter" was truly worthy of him.

How can he be called a hunter when he only relies on a group of fragile sharks that have never been able to break through the limits of their race, without bodyguards on both sides, sword guards in front and behind, and Huang on the left and Qingcang on the right?

The fiddler crab's combat power is average, and it cannot achieve any precise coordination with the help of the contracted conch. Its main role is still that of transport captain.

But this tamed spear is different.

With the help of it, you can completely subdue the sea monster guards who are truly subordinate to you and with whom you can cooperate tacitly, thus doubling the combat power of the Golden Deer!
“The other side is [Hunting Spear]: the hunter’s destiny, with no restrictions on the target of the hunt, it can be humanoid creatures, monsters, or large creatures.

Inject the spiritual glow that has undergone a qualitative change after being promoted to the third level. The more you inject, the stronger the power. When the gun tip is fully lit, it will trigger a 100% penetration effect that ignores defense!

Note: Other external spiritual substances (transmuted blood, soul, etc.) can also be injected to achieve the same power. "

Seeing the description of "100% penetration", even the owner Byron's pupils shrank.

This seems to have some of the effects of a conceptual weapon.

Moreover, this ability only comes from the skill of the title. I can’t imagine how powerful the real Gungnir would be.

There is no doubt that if a divine weapon from the mythological era like [Gungnir, the Gundam Gundam] still existed, it would definitely be one of the most powerful zero-level relics in the world.

Even Byron and Violet, the direct heirs of the Bay Clan, did not know the whereabouts of the treasure.

Just like the original copy of the Pirate Code, it has long since disappeared.

At this moment, Byron holds a spear in his hand, hunting sea monsters, treasures, merchant ships, and enemies. This is the true form of a sea hunter.

After understanding his new ability, he did not hesitate any longer and said in a low voice:
"Hunting Gun!"

The rune representing "hunting" on the side of the crystal spear head lit up along with Byron's eyes.

The pale blue [Storm Aura] quickly flowed along his palm into the gun that was sure to hit the target.

His current spiritual strength is about 11.2, which is not too strong among the third levels. He had previously launched a fleet-level Storm Blessing which consumed a lot of spiritual power. Now he only injected about 5 points of spiritual power at one time.

The crystal gun tip also lit up by one-fifth.

"It looks like if you want to activate the penetration effect by your own strength, you have to be at least at the peak of the fifth-level legend, with a spirituality of 25 points.

Try it with one shot first. If it doesn't work, add Wild Hunt Legion and Transmutation Blood.

Miss, help me lock on the target."

Although the sure-hit gun is sure to hit the target, the prerequisite is that it must be able to sense the target, which can be done through sight, spirituality and other means.

Without guidance capability, all power is in vain.

"clear."

Violet responded crisply, and immediately stood beside Byron, holding his left hand. They both released spiritual aura at the same time.

Crack!

The two people's bodies trembled slightly as if they were electrified, and then the two spiritual glows completely blended together without any stagnation, achieving sensory communication.

This is something that can only be achieved when there is a spiritual connection between the two of you that is strong enough to trust your life to them.

The two of them are already familiar with it.

[Storm Admiral] has an extraordinary sensitivity to wind and atmosphere, while the reserve [Witch of Disaster] has an unrivaled sensitivity to water and tides.

The senses of the two merged into one, amplifying each other and extending far out.

In a trance, the vast Tianhai system in front of them, where heavy rain was falling, became one-way transparent in their eyes.

The sea breeze was howling, the waves were rolling, and the heavy rain clouds in the sky were roaring.
As long as they thought about it, they could know how high the clouds were, how fast the wind was, how high the waves were, how many raindrops were falling on the Golden Deer at the same time, and how many fish were under the sea nearby.
Even when the wind and water flowed, the direction of the source tide that was synchronized with it was like observing the lines in the palm of your hand. Byron didn't have time to enjoy the wonderful experience brought by this combination of senses for a while.

Immediately with the help of the witch's perception, the position of the underwater [May Wind] was locked.

The underwater speed of this octopus battleship is only 10 knots, which is only slightly faster than the speed of a human long-distance run. In such a short period of time, it was unable to travel very far.

At this time, it was 120 meters away from them, about eight meters deep in the water, and continued to swim towards Gonave Island.

Byron half-squatted and assumed a standard javelin throwing posture.

He gathered his strength slightly, stepped on the deck, a strong wind suddenly arose, and threw the Gungnir in his hand out violently.

call out--!
This spear seemed to have really turned into a meteor or lightning in mythology, flashing before the two of them.

The thick sea water that could render artillery shells ineffective was like non-existent in front of the spear, and did not cause any hindrance to it at all.

In just a blink of an eye, Gungnir, who had broken through the water, arrived at the side and rear of the Maywind, roughly where the captain's room of a normal ship is located.

Driven by Byron's spiritual power, it rotated at high speed, turning the surrounding water into sharp drill bits, and then stabbed in fiercely!

The newly formed barnacle armor instantly collapsed, and the drill forced open a wide passage leading directly to the captain's room.

It was not until it encountered the real target in the captain's room that it finally stopped and collided with the suddenly raised crab claw, emitting dazzling blue sparks.

It also finally allowed Byron and Violet to see the true face of the fourth-level heroic adventurer Balboa after his fall.

"So ugly."

He still retains his general human form, wearing a Castilian captain's uniform and a captain's hat.

But many grayish-white barnacles also grew on its body, one hand turned into a sea anemone, and the other hand turned into an iron-colored crab claw.

The lower body turned into a pile of slimy purple-black octopus tentacles, looking like a giant human-shaped octopus.

Violet was somewhat surprised to find that the thoughts coming from Byron's senses were completely different from her own.
Want to eat, delicious, love to eat?

I thought I was having an illusion.

What's even more chilling is...

An umbilical cord-like nerve bundle grew out from behind Balboa's head and sank under the deck, seemingly connected to the other core of the flesh and blood battleship.

While he was controlling the battleship, he also shared his extraordinary ability of infinite evolution with the battleship.

They even doubted that the octopus had three hearts and nine brains, so which one was his true self, the boat or the human?

The moment they saw this infinite evolutionist.

The ink on the logbook also revealed a new secret: [The source of the blood disaster, historical influence 38, deciphering density 21%].

The interpretation rate of the revival prophecy also increased from 33% to 35%.

"Influence 38? This is at least an entire continent-level influence.

This adventurer is even better at getting into trouble than I am.

The octopus battleship is just a side dish, there is obviously a bigger fish behind it."

This is a secret influence second only to the Restoration Prophecy, and ranks second on the current list of all logbooks.

Even more influential than [The Shadow Behind the Red and White Rose War].

In fact, this is normal if you think about it. As long as this mystery is solved, it means unveiling the first veil of the New World.

It is also a milestone in the entire Age of Discovery.

As Byron's mind raced, the shot that was sure to hit the target finally ran out of power in the struggle with the crab's claws, and returned to his hand in a flash.

"Although I didn't kill the enemy with one move, the effect was beyond my expectations."

Just as the information displayed in the logbook said, as long as the perception can lock the opponent's position, you can hit the target with 100% certainty, and even automatically lock the enemy's vital points.

The opponent can only block it forcefully but cannot dodge or evade. Even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, he will still be chased by it without any loss of power.

But the hunting gun, which is fueled by only five points of spirituality, has a destructive power roughly equivalent to a close-range artillery attack from a 32-pound artillery piece.

If a normal person dared to take this gunshot with his body, he would definitely die on the spot.

But for a monster like the Maywind that can evolve infinitely, it is a little bit not enough.

Unless fuel continues to be supplied, the final effect can be achieved.

So, Byron burned dozens of undead servants accumulated in the Wild Hunt Legion without hesitation, as well as a small portion of the transmuted blood collected from the coral people this time.

He relit half of Gungnir's crystal spear head, which was almost the full spiritual power of a third-level complete victory state.

Another shocking shot was thrown over.

There was a thunder in the sky above the sea, as if it was the spear of divine punishment thrown by Thor from the clouds, striking down again along the hole that was opened the first time.

But this time its target was no longer Balboa, but the floor beneath his feet.

Boom——!
It was as if high explosives were detonated, blowing away the heroic adventurers who had taken defensive positions in advance.

The lower gun deck, along with a giant beating heart covered with barnacles beneath the deck, exploded.

Countless drops of bright blue blood were spilled in the flesh and blood cabin.

The Octopus battleship was finally severely damaged this time and was no longer able to land on the island to retaliate against the remnants. It wailed miserably all the way down and fell straight into the dark seabed thousands of meters deep.

The wailing sound echoed in their ears for a long time.
