But he was still very grateful to this kind person.
Watching the warship carrying Zuo Chi and his group speed away, Maokai looked at Yorick beside him.
His tone carried a sense of tragic defiance, as if he were facing certain death.
"Yoric, the real test has begun."
Yorick turned his gaze away from the shovel and nodded firmly at Maokai.
"My Lord, I will always stand by your side!"
On Sarah's warship, Zuo Chi and his group stood on the deck, the atmosphere heavy with tension.
Iloilo looked at Zuo Chi and voiced his concerns.
"At our current speed, by the time we return to Bilgewater, the Black Mist will likely have already reached it. The Heart of the Temple isn't in the Temple itself; how can Bilgewater possibly defend itself against the Black Mist?"
Illaoi gripped the divine weapon tightly in her hands, hesitated for a long time, and then said in a deep voice.
"Zuo Chi, may you come with me first?"
Hearing Illaoi's words, no one present was surprised, after all, they all knew that Illaoi was the only guardian of Pyrenees besides Naga Siren.
As a true descendant of Nagakapolos, one of the missions bestowed upon Illaoi by the goddess Nagakapolos was to protect Piraeus from the corruption of the Soul-Eating Night.
Zuo Chi first looked at Illaoi, and then at Ahri beside him.
"Zuo Chi, I'm fine. Just do what you want to do."
When Ah Li met Zuo Chi's gaze, her eyes held a wealth of emotions.
She waved her fist: "The few of us are quite strong; holding off a few sea monsters is no problem at all!"
Even if Illaoi and Zuochi, the two main combatants, leave, there are still Pike and Bronn on the ship, so dealing with some sea monsters shouldn't be a problem.
Realizing this, Zuo Chi nodded directly to Illaoi without further hesitation.
"let's go!"
“Okay!” Illaoi nodded emphatically as well.
"Wait." Just as Zuo Chi and Illaoi arrived at the deck, Ahri suddenly called out to Zuo Chi.
Zuo Chi turned around and saw Ah Li running up to him.
She pulled Zuo Chi's hand and placed the fully formed Vasani Sunstone in his hand.
"Be careful, I'll be there for you soon."
Zuo Chi looked at the Vasani Sunstone lying quietly in his hand, and then at Ahri, whose eyes were shining brightly in front of him.
He opened his arms and embraced Ahri tightly.
"I'm waiting for you!"
Without lingering, Zuo Chi and Iloy simultaneously leaped off the warship and plunged into the sea.
On the deck, Ah Li stared in the direction Zuo Chi had left, and only looked away after a long time.
Behind her, the three people who remained reacted in different ways.
First was Brûlée, who had a big, doting smile on his face. Pike didn't even glance at Ahri, instead examining the old-fashioned bounty poster in his hand. As for Sarah, her gaze toward Ahri was somewhat complicated.
Seemingly confused, yet also somewhat envious?
Both Zuochi and Illaoi had received the blessing of Nagakaporos, the goddess of life, and their speed in the sea had reached its limit.
A deep blue power surrounded them, giving them speeds in the water that could even surpass those on land.
Foygo was ahead of Zuo Chi and the others. Zuo Chi had no way of predicting Foygo's speed of travel across the vast scorched earth, so he and Illaoi could only do their best to hurry forward.
At the same time, in Bilgewater.
Perhaps even Zuo Chi didn't expect that with the King of Ruin, Foygo, on board, the black mist could move at such a speed.
Just as he and Illaoi were rushing towards this place, Foygo had already led the Soul Eater, which had grown countless times larger, to Bilgewater!
A thick black fog completely obscured the sun in the sky, and arrived in a mighty and devastating manner outside Bilgewater.
Fouyego hovered in the air, his eerie green eyes sweeping across the entire Bilgewater archipelago before finally fixing his gaze on a spot south of Port Piraeus.
It is the busiest place in the entire port of Piraeus, with a complex mix of buildings and streets, and countless docks and casinos.
But it was there that Fiosco sensed the aura of his crown!
Without any hesitation, Foygo, wielding the Broken King's sword, lunged forward in that direction.
Behind him, a thick black mist followed closely, and the spirits within the mist became incredibly excited under the stimulation of the scent of the living.
Without the protection of the Temple of Baju, and with Illaoi no longer in Piraeus, almost no one in Piraeus could resist the Black Mist.
Although the priests from the nearby Baru temples rushed over after receiving the news, they were ultimately a step slower.
The black mist rushed straight into Piraeus Port with almost no hindrance, and a massacre of the living by the undead was about to begin.
However, what no one noticed was...
Suddenly, the usually calm waters of the southern Bilgewater coast were filled with the sound of splashing. The sound was so loud that it seemed as if countless enormous creatures were breaking through the surface of the sea.
Looking closer, what they were actually huge blue tentacles, each tens of meters long!
At the very top of those countless tentacles was a massive head with six eyes!
In the final moments before Piraeus was about to fall into crisis, the port's last guardian appeared.
(Thanks to daddycool for the generous donation of 10,000 coins. Thanks to the Boss of Mengjing for the donation as well.)
(There was a power outage during the day today; the circuits need repair after the flood, so I'm late. I'll add an extra update tomorrow. I'm really sorry.)
Chapter 73 Nagakaporos's Descent!
In Bilgewater Bay.
After confirming that his crown was in Bilgewater, Folyago led his undead army into the coast of Bilgewater, and a thick black fog completely shrouded the sky above the port.
After losing the Vasani Sunstone, the temple in the southeast of Piraeus is now only a temple in the southwest of Bilgewater, apart from the temple in the northern Baju Holy Land.
But how can this last remaining temple possibly stop the Soul-Eating Night, which has been amplified countless times?
With almost no obstacles, Foygo's Soul Eaters entered the heart of Piraeus, a place that was usually busiest with people.
Countless spirits drifted in the air, constantly emitting mournful howls. All the buildings on the ground had their doors tightly shut, and even the last light had been extinguished.
Inside the building, whether they were once arrogant and domineering gamblers, human traffickers, smugglers, or diligent dockworkers and treasure hunters, they all huddled together, trembling, clutching a golden siren coin tightly in their hands.
On that Siren coin, a giant sea monster with countless tentacles is slapping the surface of the sea with its thick tentacles.
In the past, every time the Night of the Soul Devouring struck, Piraeus would receive a warning, and the True Ones and priests of the Baru Temple would step forward to resist the Night of the Soul Devouring. But today, the Night of the Soul Devouring came without warning, and the True Ones of the Baru Temple did not appear again.
Now, they can only place their last hope on the god they worship—Nagakapolos!
After all, how could ordinary people like them possibly contend with those undead who were completely immune to physical attacks in the face of the Soul-Eating Night?
Outside the building, Foygo floated in the sky, his gaze focused on the area beneath a bridge.
Immediately afterwards, he slowly pointed the Broken King's Sword in his hand towards the bottom of the bridge, with a dense aura of ruin energy rising from the tip of the sword.
"boom!"
The next instant, the bridge suddenly exploded, and huge waves crashed against the river below.
Beneath the shattered bridge, a crown of pure green slowly rose and flew toward Foygo.
He raised his hand and took the crown in his hand, and Fóyego's voice rang out.
"A crown that had been lost for many years was taken from his only beloved, and then reborn from the brink of death."
Slowly placing the crown on his head, Foygo turned his gaze away from Port Piraeus and back towards the Shadow Isles.
He was ready to leave because his power had not yet fully recovered. He needed to regain his strength as soon as possible and then go to find the lost soul of Ysuld!
But at that moment, Thresh, holding the Soul Lamp, stepped out of the portal behind Foljego, his eyes, filled with blue flames, staring at the crown on Foljego's head.
Then, Thresh's high-pitched voice reached Fryegor's ears.
"My king, the humans of this land stole your crown while you slept, and they have tainted the queen's love for you!"
Upon hearing Thresh's words, Foljerk turned around and looked in his direction, while the long blade of the Blade of the Ruined King in his hand began to shine with a dazzling blue light.
"Is this true?"
Despite Fryegor's suspicious gaze, Thresh's tone remained unchanged, still filled with righteous indignation.
“That’s right!” Thresh said in a low voice, “The people of this filthy land have no respect for you and the Queen!”
Thresh has been planning this for so long, and now that the opportunity to reap souls is right in front of him, how could he possibly let Fryegor leave like this?
Foygo's gaze swept over the dilapidated and shabby buildings of Piraeus, as well as the stench-filled slaughterhouse docks, and he slowly raised the broken King's Sword in his hand.
"If that's the case, then all these disobedient people deserve to die!"
"Roar!"
The moment Foygo finished speaking, the undead that had been hovering in the sky went completely mad and, without any hesitation, rushed madly into the building below.
A lavish feast for these dead is about to begin!
