Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 335 "Aquaman"

Jacks suddenly sprang into action, instantly ripping out the heart of "Devil" Laurent.

This turn of events was truly astonishing; neither Krestais nor the others had anticipated such a situation.

"How is this possible?!" Laurent stared at the still-beating heart, the life in his eyes quickly fading.

His demonic intuition detected no malice directed at him, otherwise he wouldn't have been ambushed.

Moreover, removing the heart is not a fatal blow to the "devil".

What was truly fatal was the small, palm-sized rag doll that Jax was holding. Its appearance deceived the demon's intuition, and it wasn't until his heart was removed that the demon sensed it.

This doll is very strange. It looks like a small ball that has grown limbs and a head. Its face has no eyes, no nose, no ears, only an empty mouth.

A blood-red mist was brewing in that mouth, and anyone who saw this rag doll felt a spiritual sense of dread.

Because of this fear, no one had time to stop Jax's actions. The "devil's" life force was completely absorbed by the strange little man, including his own characteristics.

Jacks crushed the heart in his hand without expression, and the splattered blood was absorbed by the strange little man.

Laurent collapsed, now a dried-up corpse; everything he owned had become a sacrifice for the puppets.

"Die!" With a wave of his hand, "Aquaman" unleashed a tornado that swept the entire ship into the sky. A lightning ball, even larger than the ship, descended from the heavens, its silvery-white electric snakes exploding and surging wildly toward the rag doll.

Aquaman's attack was the most decisive and powerful, followed closely by the attacks of the other two demigods.

Klein and Edwina's expressions changed drastically, and they used every means to get away from the center of the battlefield once again.

"What is that thing?!" Klein's face was contorted with bulging veins as he felt extreme pain, all because of that strange little puppet.

"Is it a level 0 sealed artifact?!" Klein felt a sense of fear.

"The Mother Tree of Desire, the God of Lost Hearts..."

Jax's fervent prayers emanated from the lightning sphere, most of which was stained blood red with lightning.

"This..." Klein suddenly realized that it was the evil god worshipped by the Rose School.

Items imbued with the aura of evil gods can indeed be considered level 0 sealed artifacts.

"Sleep!" commanded Aquaman.

With a resolute expression, Krestai raised his sword, gripping the blade in one hand and the sword in the other. He slashed fiercely, drawing blood. At that moment, an even more powerful domain enveloped the battlefield, simultaneously repelling all beings except the four demigods.

"No darkness!" "Neptune" glared suddenly at the archbishop of the Church of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".

The archbishop didn't seem to care about "Aquaman's" attitude. He stretched out his hands and drew arcane runes similar to the "purification aura" that Edwina had cast before.

However, the runes he drew were more complex and more powerful, almost identical to the original "Darknessless Realm," and extremely effective at suppressing evil auras.

"..." "Sea King" stared intently at the lightning ball that had been mostly stained red, and began to mobilize the power of this sea area.

"Aquaman" is never just a simple title; he is the king of this sea!

His eyes were completely replaced by lightning bolts, and lightning-like runes flowed across his skin on his face and body.

Rumble!

A large patch of dark clouds rapidly gathered in mid-air, and within the clouds, a giant face seemed to materialize, revealing eyebrows, eyes, and a mouth.

It's "Aquaman" Yann Courtman!

The gigantic face looked down mercilessly upon everything, and a terrifying spiritual force surged across the sea.

Klein looked up abruptly and saw a tsunami rising a hundred meters high less than a hundred meters in front of him!

This is absolutely unreasonable!

Klein and his fleet were pushed away from the battlefield by the sea. Then everyone saw the hundred-meter-high tsunami suddenly contract, and tornadoes formed around the tsunami, working with the seawater to create an absolute strangulation.

With the suppression from both major domains, plus the powerful attack from "Sea King," this demigod should be defeated no matter what.

"In naval warfare, 'Sea King's' abilities are enough to overwhelm all demigods of the same level."

Edwina was also shocked, but she already had some knowledge of similar things.

"This is the true 'King of the Sea'." Klein was also somewhat relieved that he had run away at the time, otherwise he would have been exposed as soon as they started fighting if he had been entangled.

For a full quarter of an hour, tsunamis, tornadoes, and lightning raged as Aquaman unleashed his full power, relentlessly bombarding Jax.

Meanwhile, the two supporting demigods didn't let up either, continuously unleashing powerful attacks.

A quarter of an hour later, the storm and tsunami gradually subsided, and Crestais and the archbishop of the Church of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" returned to the fleet.

As for "Aquaman," he returned to Bayam immediately.

"That demigod of the Rose School is dead." Krestai's face was slightly pale, showing how fierce the battle had been.

"That thing has already been taken back and sealed by 'Sea King'."

Klein gasped. The rag doll hadn't been destroyed after that attack?!

This... Klein felt horrified. No wonder the Rose School was so powerful. If there were more of these things, what would happen?

"This hunt was a great success." Krestai regained his spirituality on the pirate ship and had become quite familiar with Klein, so they chatted for a while.

He was one of the few people who knew Klein's background, and he treated both Klein and Leonard very well.

"As the one who proposed this plan, you're likely to get a promotion."

Klein's face immediately lit up with joy.

"Let's wipe out all the pirates first." Without him saying so, the others had already wiped out all the pirates under "Blood General's" control, and some of them were collected in the form of special characteristics.

This time it was an absolute success.

Even the items here aren't the main attraction; the rewards from the Dream Cult are!

After all, it's double the bounty!

Just as everyone approached the harbor, Klein, as the representative of the Dream Cult, tallied up the spoils from the "Blood Admiral" fleet.

"..." Klein was a little dumbfounded after he actually tallied up the numbers.

The pirates, valued at over 100,000 gold pounds each, plus their various special abilities, would be worth a fortune if the Dream Cult were to reclaim them.

Add to that the ship full of Blood Worshippers, and the number could be astronomical.

"Isn't this too much?" Looking at the ledger, Klein suddenly felt a pang of heartache. Although it was the Dream Cult's money, it was now going through his hands!
