Chapter 886 Unique Plot: The Apostle Piercing the Abyss!
Some of the main NPCs on the Shangri-La border have quite high AI intelligence, just like Skullwood in front of Seiya and the others.

Although it does look like a young kid, it possesses intelligence that ordinary NPCs do not have because it is involved in the unique storyline of "Kukanid of the Abyss".

The curses on Seiya and Sun Raku opened his eyes and made him subconsciously believe that they were the people he was looking for.

However, due to the nature of the mission mechanics, the person who completes the prerequisite mission of teaching the tavern thugs a lesson is Panhilgon. Therefore, even though Skullwood thinks that Seiya and Sun are more outstanding, he can only invite Panhilgon to go to sea because of the mechanics, instead of Seiya and the others.

There's no way around it; the task program is what it is, and even highly autonomous AI cannot break this rule.

In other words, now either Panhilgon has to give up the unique story mission, and then Seiya and the others have to go through the steps again to trigger the prerequisite mission.

Alternatively, you can team up with Panhilgon, who has completed the prerequisite quest, so that they can both experience the unique storyline triggered by Skullwood.

“Holy behold, Sun Le, the situation has now reversed.”

Seeing Panshirgun's smug expression, Sun Le was immediately furious.

"Although it is unclear what exactly the 'Kukanid of the Abyss' is, as one of the seven unique monsters, it must be something extraordinary, right?"

Even if you accept its unique storyline quest, with just you... and maybe Rust at most, you two have no chance of defeating one of the seven strongest races, right?

"Sun Le, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me?!"

As soon as Sun Le finished speaking, Rust, who was standing to the side, immediately objected, looking as if he was about to fight Sun Le, but was pulled back by Mold from behind.

"Ruster, calm down. According to the current intelligence, the strongest species in the Shangri-La border is indeed beyond the ability of players at this stage to fight against."

"And at least you're counted in the combat strength, while I've been completely ignored..."

Having witnessed the strength and overpowered mechanics of "Vezhaemon the Gravekeeper", Panhilgon never dared to hope that he could easily defeat "Kukanid of the Abyss", who was also one of the strongest species.

However, Panshirgun remained completely calm, because she knew very well that she was now in control.

Unique storylines are rare and hard to come by, and now such an opportunity is right in front of us. Whether it's Seiya, who is looking for the fun of battle, or Sun, who loves a challenge, they obviously can't miss this opportunity.

"I'll let bygones be bygones for what you did before. Now I can invite you to join me in the battle against 'Abyss Kukanid'."

However, I will get a larger share of the loot from this unique monster hunt, since I incurred a huge debt to hunt the Gravekeeper.

As close friends from the same guild, you wouldn't just stand by and watch me die, would you? Seiya and Sun Raku.

On the vast ocean, Sun, who had already boarded the Skullwood pirate ship, looked at the unique storyline in the mission window, but his expression was anything but happy.

According to the original plan, the unique storyline of "the apostle who pierces the abyss" was supposed to be completed by him and Seiya together, and then he would show it off to Panhilgon and Bonito.

Although Panhilgon had said that if there were any spoils they could use, they would be given priority; she only wanted the Book of Truth and other items that could be sold for money. Sun Le was still quite unhappy with the feeling of being controlled by Panhilgon.

The guy with the bonito was even worse off. He had provided Panshirgon with information, and he thought he would at least get a share of the unique storyline, but that woman Panshirgon completely forgot about him in the blink of an eye.

"According to the information previously provided by the 'Library', the image of 'Kukanid of the Abyss' seems to resemble a giant sea monster."

We are currently on the ocean, which fits the setting quite well, but what will we rely on to fight once "Kukanid of the Abyss" appears?
We can't rely solely on the harpoon launchers on the ship, can we?

Unlike ordinary missions, the unique storylines in Xiangkai offer limited, sometimes nonexistent, mission hints, or even just a simple mission name.

The unique storyline that Seiya and his companions are currently experiencing, "The Apostle Who Pierces Through the Abyss," is just such a story.

As is well known, the engine in Shangri-La Border largely simulates reality; players will suffer fall damage when falling from a height, and will also suffer recoil damage when impacted.

Similarly, players in Xiangkai are not incapable of swimming, but swimming for a long time will deplete their stamina bar, and once their stamina is exhausted, they will also drown in the sea.

What are the advantages of players like Seiya and Sun Le?

It's nothing more than exceptional reflexes and intuition and physical coordination far exceeding that of the average player.

So now the question is, if the environment for fighting unique monsters changes from land to sea, can they still leverage this advantage?

Without the ability to fly or walk on water, if even the ship beneath their feet were capsized, then on the vast ocean, let alone fighting "Kukanid of the Abyss," it would be a miracle if they didn't drown.

Why would Seiya notice those inconspicuous harpoon launchers on the ship?
This is entirely due to the word "penetrate" in the unique story mission's name.

So far, he has triggered quite a few unique storylines, and it's hard to say whether there's any connection between his unique storyline and that of Gickwell's.

The unique storyline of the Gravekeeper Vezaremon, "The Moment of a Distant Day," uses "Moment" to refer to Vezaremon's immortality and symbolizes the fleeting moment of his strongest move, "Sunny Day Great Ascension."

The unique storyline of Lycaon's Night Raid, "What dispels the darkness is the light of courage," also represents the essence of Lycaon and the way to deal with it through "night" and "courage."

"The Narrative of the Deadly Rabbit" is currently unknown which unique monster it involves, but the word "deadly soul" passed down among the Rabbit Kingdom's inhabitants provides some clues, with "deadly" being the key element.

Although Ex's unique storyline doesn't have many mission descriptions, you can often glean a lot of information just from the names of the unique storylines.

Analyzing and understanding the information provided in the unique storyline is also part of the process of defeating unique monsters.

Seiya believes that the "piercing" in "Apostle Who Pierces Through the Abyss" is the way to defeat Kukanid of the Abyss, but he is still pondering what exactly the "Abyss" is.

Just as Seiya was deep in thought, their pirate ship suddenly began to rock violently due to the waves, and the once clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds!
