Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 108 As long as Steiner launches an attack, everything will be alright.

Chapter 108 Everything will be alright as long as Steiner launches an attack.

In the Sunia Sea, there is an island with a dormant volcano.

Ships with masts erected and sails hoisted one after another docked, crowding the not-so-small pier.

The pirates' songs, roars, laughter, curses, and cheers filled the air, turning the place into a sea of revelry.

The Azure Avenger was also among them, slowly sailing towards the dock.

"I'm going to join the treasure hunting team now. Goodbye!"

As soon as the boat docked, before it had even come to a complete stop, Anderson left only one sentence and jumped off the boat as if fleeing, his figure quickly disappearing into the crowd at the dock.

"Tsk."

Alger shook his head speechlessly, seeing how frightened the child was.

Yu Jin stood on the side of the ship, his gaze sweeping over the many sailboats on the dock.

He did not see the Golden Dream, the ship that shimmered golden in the sunlight and belonged to Edwina.

"The view isn't very good here, let's go over there."

Alger pointed to the nearby cliff as a reminder.

After a moment's thought, Ember stepped off the Azure Avenger and climbed the nearby cliff, taking in the view of everything below.

Alger followed and climbed up the cliff. Below, layers of sailboats crowded the dock and other nearby docks.

There were at least several hundred pirate ships in sight, and tens of thousands of pirates gathered there.

The dock was packed with people, so crowded that it was impossible to tell who was who.

Finding the right person among such a large number of pirates would be quite difficult.

"Found it."

"Embers suddenly said."

"where?"

Alger was stunned for a long time.

Ember pointed to a spot on the dock, and Alger's gaze followed his direction.

The place was crowded with people, but there weren't any people with distinctive features.

Alger couldn't tell who the embers were referring to.

"That's Edwina's boatswain, Danitz."

Yu Jin casually offered an explanation.

After thinking for a moment, he put on the black knight armor he had worn when they first met, and turned to walk towards the 'Sun Knight'.

"..."

Alger watched helplessly as Ember changed his clothes in a second, feeling that this was beyond his comprehension and his feelings were extremely complicated.

Ember wasn't wearing the Sleeping Dragon Emblem Ring, so the sound of the seams of his armor colliding with each other as he moved was exceptionally clear, even in a noisy crowd.

So, he and Danitz, who was anxiously scratching his head in the crowd, quickly spotted each other.

"Praise the sun."

Danitz understood immediately and leaned forward to whisper.

"Praise the sun."

After exchanging the secret code, Danitz no longer hesitated, turned around, squeezed through the crowd, and walked deeper into the island.

finally.

They stopped in a simple cabin deep in the island.

"Mr. Ash."

Danitz spoke up first, "The captain has something very important he wants to discuss with you."

"Can."

Ember asked, "When are we going?"

"Not now."

Danitz shook his head and said helplessly, "The captain is currently being harassed by Admiral Blood's men and cannot escape. Even I went through a lot of trouble to infiltrate this island. If you want to see the captain, you can only do so through me."

Danitz thought for a moment, then explained, "To be precise, it's through my spirit possession ritual that you and the captain can communicate."

As he spoke, Danitz raised his wrist to check the time and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you arrived just in time. It's Earth time now. Otherwise, if we had missed the morning Earth time, we would have had to wait until 4 p.m. to communicate with the captain."

As Danitz muttered to himself, he took out various materials that he had prepared beforehand.

He began setting up the altar, albeit with little skill, and began the spirit-summoning ritual, which he had only recently learned.

"A spirit possession ritual?"

Ember looked at Danitz's so-called "spirit possession ritual" with suspicion.

Why did this so-called spirit possession ritual give him a sense of familiarity?

The moment the idea formed in my mind, all the objects on the altar began to float up, except for the three candles.

Danitz's body trembled uncontrollably, and his expression gradually turned cold.

Soon, he adopted a "little iceberg general" style of feminine voice:

Good morning, Mr. Ash.

Good morning.

"Ms. Edwina," Ember asked. "Does it seem like you have something urgent to discuss with me?"

"Yes."

Edwina nodded gently and explained, "My teacher hopes I can invite you to Remnburg, preferably right now. There, you might find some answers you've been searching for."

After a pause, "Edwina" continued, "People can always find their answers in Remenberg."

Yu Jin's expression shifted slightly, and he pressed on, "Who is your teacher?"

"Her name is..."

Edwina opened her mouth but no sound came out. After a long while, she whispered, "I'm sorry, I can't reveal her name to the outside world."

She was able to write the corresponding name in her letter to the teacher because only the teacher could see the letter.

But most of the time, she couldn't even say it.

Her spirituality was warning her.

"I will go."

After pondering for a long time, Yu Jin slowly gave his reply, "However, this will take some time. Once I've finished what I'm doing, I can go to Lunburg. At that time, I will come to the sea to find you again."

"But……"

Edwina seemed hesitant to speak, appearing somewhat conflicted.

But in the end, she chose to compromise.

"Of course, Mr. Ash."

Edwina's expression returned to calm as she said softly, "If you've finished what you're doing, please come find me at sea. I'll take you to Rembourg. Also,"

"Adeline" spoke through Danitz's body, "Danitz has asked me for a long leave. He won't be returning to the Golden Dream for the time being because he wants to stay on Damir Island for a vacation. We will continue north to Sonia Island, and he will be in charge of contacting Mr. Ash during this period."

"it is good."

Ember glanced at Danitz and replied, "I'll contact him if I need to."

"Well then, goodbye, Mr. Ash."

Edwina said goodbye softly and then cut off all contact with Danitz.

After the séance ended, Danitz could sense 'Edwina's' departure, and he successfully regained control of his body.

But he looked rather gloomy, as if he couldn't be happy at all.

Because he was clearly just there to deliver a message!

How did I end up on vacation by some unexpected twist of fate?

Danitz was utterly devastated!

According to the captain, he could return to the Golden Dream once Ember came to find him.

But what if Ember never comes looking for him? Wouldn't he be unable to go back for the rest of his life?!

"What kind of mess is this?!"

Danitz was filled with grief and indignation. Why had he volunteered to carry out this mission in the first place?

Ember's gaze passed over Danitz, his eyes seemingly piercing through the wooden house, and he said calmly:

"And you? Do you also have something to tell me?"

"Um?!"

Danitz's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked towards the doorway.

What do you mean? There are other people outside?!

Was he being followed?

"Snapped!"

A figure pushed open the door and entered. He merely glanced at Danitz, which immediately caused Danitz's pupils to shrink sharply.

He was tall, with dark skin, strong muscles, and hair curled like marbles.

Danitz immediately recognized the man's identity based on his physical characteristics—

"Iron" McVitie, a notorious pirate with a bounty of 6000 pounds.

Most importantly, he is the second mate of "Blood Admiral" Señor!

"My lord, the captain asked me to pass on a message to you."

Maiviti glanced at Danitz with disdain, then turned his gaze to Ember, his expression immediately becoming humble and respectful.

Maiviti glanced at Danitz, his eyes filled with warning.

"hehe."

Danitz sneered and turned to walk out of the cabin.

Even if we lose the game, we must not lose our spirit; we cannot lose our confidence!

Danitz walked out of the cabin with his head held high and closed the door behind him.

However, after walking only a few steps, Danitz suddenly changed his expression and ran quickly toward the island.

In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of Admiral Blood, the captain kept maneuvering with the enemy on the Golden Dream.

He simply disembarked midway and sneaked onto the island.

After all, he was just a Sequence 7 boatswain, not very famous, and not particularly noteworthy.

And Yu Jin had seen him before; given the other's strength in killing demigods, there was no reason he wouldn't recognize him upon meeting him.

The only problem is whether the other party will attend the pirate convention.

After all, even though they had disseminated intelligence in advance, they couldn't guarantee that everything would go perfectly.

What if he had already returned to Backlund?

Sending him to the island was merely a precaution, to prevent Ember from arriving on the island only to find them nowhere to be found.

And now.

The person was met, and his insurance policy served its intended purpose.

But who knew that General Blood was also a treacherous and cunning man, and actually sent people to follow him!

He had to tell the captain about this right away!

……

"God has decreed that you should collect as many as possible 22 blasphemous cards, especially the Moon card."

Maiviti's expression held a hint of fanaticism, but he deliberately paused before continuing, "And the Mother's Brand."

Why hesitate?

Yu Jin asked calmly.

"Forgive my disrespect, Your Excellency."

Maivitti hurriedly explained, "These are the captain's exact words. It seems there were interruptions in the transmission of the oracle, which is why I didn't know how to accurately convey its contents to you."

"Intermittent?"

Yu Jin looked at Maiviti meaningfully.

It is known that the Blood General is behind Maiviti, and the Rose School is behind the Blood General.

The Rose School believed in what is called a "bound god".

Even if Maiviti had a thousand times the courage, he wouldn't dare to falsely convey divine pronouncements.

But the question is, why are the oracles still intermittent?

Could it be that their god also suffers from memory loss like himself, and forgot what he was saying halfway through his sentence?

However, the reason doesn't matter.

Because Ember was not familiar with this "bound god," he had no intention of doing as He said.

"I see."

"Embers said calmly."

"My Lord, Divine Messenger."

"Iron" Maiviti dared not object, but respectfully bowed his head and said, "I will be on standby in Bayam at any time. If you need me, you can send someone to Bayam to find me."

After saying that, Maiviti respectfully stepped back and left the cabin.

They quickly disappeared from sight.

As for Danitz?

He had already left the moment he stepped out of the cabin, with no intention of waiting until the two finished their conversation before returning.

After the two left, Yu Jin also left the cabin.

Before leaving, he glanced at the extinct volcano in the center of the island, then quickly looked away and walked toward the dock.

On his way to the dock, he had already quietly changed out of his black knight armor.

Therefore, when he arrived at the dock, he was inconspicuous among the crowd of pirates.

Under the cover of the crowd, they quietly returned to the Azure Avenger.

"Creak!"

As soon as Ember returned to the ship, Alger, who was standing on the side of the ship, spotted him, and his expression seemed somewhat solemn.

"I suddenly realized something very strange."

Alger saw Ember return and said in a deep voice.

"What?"

Yu Jin looked at him with a slightly strange expression.

"The Pirate Tournament".

Alger quickly and concisely explained, "This isn't the first time a pirate tournament has been held; it's basically held every so often. And while the location varies each time, these locations all have one thing in common."

Alger said solemnly, "Every island that hosts a pirate tournament has a dormant volcano!"

"While this could simply be a coincidence, I have a feeling there's some secret hidden within us! And that secret might just be hidden inside that extinct volcano!"

Alger took a deep breath.

He was 80% certain that the location of the pirate tournament had been deliberately chosen!

For example.

The location of the pirate conference is only notified to nearby pirates a week in advance, ostensibly to guard against surprise attacks from the navies of various countries and powerful figures from major churches.

But this claim is actually completely unfounded.

If the navies of various countries and the major churches were truly willing, they could wipe out all pirates at sea at any time.

Not to mention the very special location of this pirate tournament—

Located in the northern part of the Roside Islands, this place is very close to the main strongholds of the major powers!

Whether it's Damir Island, where the Kingdom of Rune has a military base, Bayam, the capital of the Roside Islands, Sunia Island of the Fusak Empire, or even Passu Island, where the Storm Church's altar is located, none of them are more than seven days away from here!

If pirates can get there, the navy can certainly get there too.

However, the fact is that the navies of various countries have not made any move in response.

The Storm Church was no exception, completely ignoring this pirate convention that was practically being held on their doorstep.

This means that various countries and major churches may have reached an agreement with the pirates on some matter!

This matter is very likely related to the extinct volcano on the island!

……

After meeting with Ember, "Iron" McVitie quietly left port aboard a sailboat.

Dozens of nautical miles from the pirate convention, he met up with a ship painted entirely black.

Instead of the skull motif commonly used by pirates, the sails on its masts were painted with a twisted tree that appeared to be made of endless flesh and blood!

That was the flagship of the "Blood Admiral", the Tree of Flesh!

The sailboat that McVitie was on quickly moved up alongside him and then leaped onto the deck of the Tree of Flesh and Blood.

"Lord Señor."

Maivitt said respectfully, "I followed Vice Admiral Iceberg's sailor Danitz and successfully met the messenger of the gods and conveyed the divine message to him."

Maiviti recounted the entire incident in detail.

He was filled with joy, expecting Señor to praise and commend him.

However, when he looked up, he only met Señor's gloomy, almost dripping face.

Maiviti's heart skipped a beat, sensing something was wrong, and he quickly lowered his head.

"That's not a divine messenger!"

The voice of the "Blood General" seemed to suppress a long-suppressed rage as he said in a deep voice, "Just now, God delivered a new divine decree!"

"A demigod has usurped the authority of the gods and is issuing false oracles to us!"

"That person is not some divine messenger; he is an enemy of our god!"

"I……"

Maivitt felt his mouth go dry, and a nameless fear gripped his heart. He hurriedly said, "I'll go back and kill him right now!"

"No rush!"

"Blood Admiral" had a sinister expression and sneered, "Lord Jax will personally take action!"

He wasn't the only one who was deceived; Lord Jax was too.

Because it was Jax himself who received the divine oracle!

Therefore, Lord Jacks must personally capture that man and force him to reveal who is behind him.

Only by finding out who is falsely conveying divine pronouncements and by personally handing over all of this can his shame be washed away!

Especially that unknown demigod behind the other party!

How dare they falsely convey divine pronouncements!

Come whenever you want, leave whenever you want!

Are they, the Rose School, like public toilets?!

"captain!"

Suddenly, a sailor on the lookout tower shouted, "Something's up!"

Señor looked toward the bow of the ship.

Not far away, a sailboat, gleaming golden in the sunlight, is setting sail.

They headed north, away from the Tree of Flesh and Blood.

It seemed as if they were about to give up even the pirate convention that was so close at hand.

However, this was not unexpected.

Lieutenant General Iceberg had no intention of participating in the pirate tournament; she was only here to meet the "fake divine messenger" and pass on information to him.

Now that their objective has been achieved, the other party will naturally not linger.

"Ignore them."

Señor withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Just guard this area and don't let anyone escape."

Although it had just recently engaged in a naval battle with Edwina's Golden Dream.

But in the end, both sides were just putting on a show.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have stopped after only one naval battle.

If it really comes to a fight to the death, at least one of the flagships of both sides will be sunk by the other.

Although Edwina seems to have an ambiguous relationship with that "fake messenger," capturing her might be able to force her to reveal the person behind the "fake messenger."

But there's no need for that.

The false messenger is on the island; capturing him will reveal everything.

That being the case.

Why bother going to the trouble of finding Lieutenant General Iceberg when he's so close by?

After all, the other party was, in a way, a fellow pirate general.

Even if the other party is determined to escape, he may not be able to catch up.

Moreover, it cannot be ruled out that this is a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Seniolben committed blasphemy by believing false oracles.

So now he'd rather do nothing than make a mistake.

Anyway, Lord Jacks is already on his way.

Everything will be alright as long as Lord Jax arrives.

……

"What do you think is inside that volcano?"

In the captain's cabin of the Azure Avenger, Ember suddenly asked a thoughtful question.

"I have no idea."

Alger shook his head and spread his hands, saying, "There are tens of thousands of pirates here. Even if most of them are crowded at the dock, a large number of them will still venture into the depths of the island to explore."

"If the secrets on the island were so easily discovered, they wouldn't be secrets."

"But it doesn't matter."

Alger feigned nonchalance, saying, "Anyway, whatever secrets the island holds are none of my business; that's for the big shots to worry about."

If he is Sequence 5, he has the same strength as those pirate generals.

He will definitely not let this opportunity pass him by; he will explore it himself.

To paraphrase Emperor Roselle, this is called "shooting the fish even if there's no fish."

But he only has sequence 7, not even sequence 6.

So what he wants to do most right now is not to go on an adventure, but to get through the digestion of the potion safely.

Once he advances to Sequence 6, he will become the second-highest ranked person in this sea area, after the Four Kings and the Seven Pirate Generals.

Of course, this only applies to him, not to Ember.

After all, given Ember's strength, he certainly has the resources to explore the island's secrets.

"Wait for me for half an hour."

Ember slowly spoke, "Leave in half an hour."

"no problem."

Alger nodded and agreed without hesitation. He then added, "The 'World' is just missing a piece of the Essence Crystal from the Spring of Elves. I'll go to the trading market and see if I can find any."

After saying that, Alger left the captain's cabin and stepped off the Azure Avenger.

Not long after Alger left, Ember thought for a moment and then got off the ship as well.

We walked through the crowd and arrived at the nearby forest.

Then, the bell was rang.

"Ring ring~!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of a bell.

A figure suddenly appeared; it was Teardrop, who had transformed into the Black Knight.

The moment the teardrop appeared, it swiftly darted into the depths of the island.

Even though this place is close to the dock, even though the dock is crowded with pirates attending the pirate convention, even though many people have seen the replica teardrop.

But this did not cause much of a stir.

After all, there was more than one person who wanted to explore the center of the island.

only.

The Teardrop Imitation's goal for this trip is much clearer than that of ordinary pirates: the volcano!

The island's surface is covered with dense forests, indicating that the volcano has not erupted for quite some time.

The woods are alive with birdsong and insects, and small wild animals occasionally dart by, creating a vibrant scene of life and vitality.

The teardrop-shaped creature strode quickly towards the crater, its feet sinking into the humus-rich ground.

From a high altitude, all you'll see is a towering "chimney" enveloped in greenery.

Even standing on the edge of the crater and looking down, you can't see a trace of lava.

It was as if this were just an ordinary dormant volcano.

at the same time.

At the top edge of the crater, a lifelike teardrop is peering down.

Looking down from the top edge of the crater, a few trees still stubbornly grow on the cliff face.

But at the very bottom, all you can see is pitch black.

Below seemed like a bottomless abyss, swallowing everything that came from the gaze and courage above.

Even people without a fear of heights will inevitably feel a sense of fear when standing on the edge!

It's as if some kind of monster, devouring people, lurks in the darkness below.

of course.

If someone were to fall accidentally, even a mid-sequence extraordinary individual would be smashed to pieces.

They also couldn't survive to investigate whether there was any danger involved.

But for the bionic teardrop, this is obviously not a problem.

The imitation teardrop gently waved the Luther Staff in its hand, releasing magic with a crisp sound.

Countless tiny, floating blue stars emerged, gathering around the teardrop-shaped object like fireflies. These starlight discs dispelled the darkness and illuminated everything around them.

【Starlight】

[The Magic Academy of Rhea Lucaria]

One of the types of pyroxene magic.

It can release tiny, floating starlight to illuminate the surroundings.

It can be moved around to perform its functions.

The magic bestowed upon magicians who leave the academy and embark on their journeys.

Endless night, a sunless underground, a prison cell—

No matter when or where, the stars are always with the magician.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, the teardrop-shaped object leaped from the edge of the crater, plunging into the abyss below without hesitation.

……

A dozen nautical miles from the island, "Blood Admiral" Señor was leading his pirate fleet on a voyage.

He himself remained aboard his flagship, the Tree of Flesh.

He is waiting.

Where are they?

A detached voice suddenly rang out from behind Señor.

"Lord Jax."

The once arrogant Señor was startled and quickly lowered his head respectfully, saying, "He's still on the island. Someone saw him heading towards the crater in the center of the island. However, he seems to be accompanied by three other helpers."

"It's alright."

"No matter how many people there are," Jacks said coldly.

Below the level of demigods, all are but ants.

If a demigod were to commit murder, he wouldn't hesitate to kill even four people.

He wouldn't even flinch if he had to make enemies of everyone on the island.

At most, it's just a little more troublesome to kill them.

not to mention.

He's not just any ordinary demigod, he's a Sequence 3 demigod!

Dealing with a few sneaky rats who spread false oracles under the guise of God is a piece of cake.

"Lord Jacks..."

Señor was about to speak.

But the next second, Jacks, who was standing in front of him, vanished instantly.

In the sky, a seabird cried out and quickly flew towards the center of the island.

Clearly, Jacks had no interest in listening to him say even a single word more.

He has already gone to track down the guy who dared to blaspheme against God.

Señor could only shake his head helplessly and swallow the words he wanted to say.

"Let's talk about it when Lord Jax returns."

Señor thought to himself.

Dealing with a few rats is a piece of cake for Lord Jax.

"Found it!"

With eyes as sharp as a hawk's, Jacks precisely spotted the bionic teardrop atop the crater from thousands of meters away.

Although he had never seen the fake messenger, he was certain that this was the person he was looking for!

After all, he was the only person on the entire island covered in black armor.

A fleeting coldness crossed Jacks' face before he regained his indifferent expression.

But the next second, his expression seemed to lose control, revealing an expression of disbelief!

Because in his line of sight, the other person was actually jumping down into the crater!

"Is he insane?!"

Jacks' pupils constricted sharply; he knew that place was...

No, they probably don't know.

Jacks immediately denied this speculation, saying that the other party was probably just unaware of the truth.

The most important thing for him now is to wash away the shame, only in this way can he obtain God's forgiveness!

Besides, even if they knew what secrets the volcano held, so what?

That thing is long dead!

Jacks took a deep breath, and his figure began to rapidly switch between the surrounding objects, also quickly heading towards the bottom of the volcano.

"Snapped!"

The lifelike teardrop landed smoothly, its feet firmly planted on the ground beneath its feet.

The surroundings seemed to be enveloped in endless darkness, with not a single ray of light in sight.

But soon.

Countless starlight accompanied the illusory teardrops as they descended to the earth, dispelling the darkness.

It illuminated the surroundings.

Unlike the lush greenery on the island's surface, the interior of the crater is just a desolate, giant pit.

This is clearly unreasonable.

Even extinct volcanoes once contained magma.

Under high temperatures, all living beings are equal.

Even after cooling and solidification, the internal terrain should still be relatively flat.

But there isn’t even the magma-soil layer that you would expect, formed by the cooling and solidification of magma.

But the deep crater at the bottom of the volcano looks as if something fell from the sky and smashed it open.

The thought had barely formed when the teardrop-like object stopped thinking.

Whoosh whoosh!

From above his head, countless tree branches fell off and shot down like a volley of arrows at the bionic teardrop below!

On the ground, countless leaves and pebbles that had accumulated over the long years suddenly took flight.

It forms a tightly locked fishing net, attempting to imprison the imitation teardrop within it.

This moment.

It was as if every tree, every leaf, every stone, and every blade of grass around them had come to life at that moment, wanting to kill them!

All of this happened silently.

But under the starlight, nothing can be hidden.

The simulated teardrop reacted quickly.

He gripped the Ruthert Staff tightly with both hands, causing a burst of blazing flames to erupt from the purple crystal at the top of the staff, forming a red magic circle with strange symbols in the air.

And in an instant, it was pierced into the ground by the imitation teardrop.

"boom!"

The volcano, which was originally dormant, seems to have been awakened again in this one.

Endless lava erupted from beneath the teardrop-shaped figure, unleashing a long-silent roar.

They transformed into molten lava projectiles, spraying out in all directions.

Burn everything around it to a raging inferno, turning this desolate crater into a true feast of molten lava!

Under the intense heat of the lava, everything around it was completely incinerated.

Whether it was a branch or a stone, it was all consumed by the endless flames before it could even touch the imitation teardrop.

Everything will be exposed before the flames!

The Wrath of Gmir

One of Gemir's lava magic spells.

It can cause lava to erupt from the ground and spray in all directions.

By accumulating energy, the eruption time can be extended.

This magic is said to represent the wrath of a volcano.

So, the idea of intending to carry it out.

It could be said to be the arrogance of humans, or of snakes.

Jacks' offensive was neutralized in an instant, but at the same time he launched a new offensive.

The magic of the teardrop transformed the bottom of the "dormant volcano" into a true lava inferno, protecting it from the onslaught.

But these lava rocks seemed to come alive in an instant.

They transformed into clusters of lava fireballs that rose into the air and surged toward the central bionic teardrop at an even faster speed!

In fact.

If he could, Jax would prefer to control the armor that resembled a teardrop.

It would be dramatic enough to kill him with his armor.

Unfortunately, despite being able to control all inanimate objects, he was unable to control the opponent's armor.

This means that the opponent's armor itself is also a magical item.

Just these few magical items and the abilities displayed by the other party.

This made Jacks realize that this mission might not go as smoothly as he had imagined.

but.

It doesn't matter, I'll take action.

"Bang!"

The staff, shaped like a teardrop, remained firmly planted in the ground, with countless molten lava surging up from beneath its feet.

The two sides seemed to be locked in a stalemate as they collided with the lava projectiles controlled by Jacks.

But in fact, all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Jacks remained hidden in the shadows, quietly preparing an even bigger offensive.

But almost at the same time, the emoticon teardrop had already firmly locked onto Jax's location!

The Ruthert staff in his hand remained planted in the ground, continuously releasing lava to burn the earth.

But on the other hand, a mark resembling a blazing flame quietly appeared.

【Supreme Fire Saint Mark】

【Three refers to the illusory holy mark bestowed by the witch.】

It can strengthen the prayer of the Peak Fire.

This is a symbol of the King of Mad Fire.

Able to use strength, dexterity, intelligence, and faith

Enhance the power of prayer.

In an instant, the teardrop-like object suddenly raised its head and looked towards a certain spot on the high cliff!

She has located the other party's position!

The teardrop-like figure loosened its grip on the staff, clutching the burning Holy Mark of the Peak Fire to its head.

Golden flame runes appeared above her head, and blazing flames instantly surged in her eyes.

"not good!"

Jacks' pupils contracted sharply, and an instinctive sense of crisis welled up from the bottom of his heart.

That was his spirit warning him.

He wanted to move to other items around him.

But it was too late!

The lifelike teardrop stared intently in the direction where Jacks was.

Two scorching rays, resembling both flames and lightning, shot out from his eyes.

"Sizzle! Bang!"

The ray traveled through the air at a speed seemingly faster than light, drawing a beautiful and dazzling arc.

Ultimately, and unsurprisingly, it struck Jacks' body.

Even if he has not revealed his true form at this moment, even if he has possessed other objects.

But the shot seemed to have a built-in tracking function, hitting his body with perfect accuracy.

"Aaaaaah!"

With a painful scream, Jax could no longer maintain his state of being invisible to others.

Hundreds of meters in the air, his aged figure rapidly became almost transparent and real.

And on this body that lies between illusion and reality, golden flames cling to it like a malignant sore!

"Bang!"

The pain caused Jax's spirit to lose its support, and he was unable to maintain his physical form.

He himself fell directly from the sky and crashed hard onto the ground!

But you should know that...

At this moment, the underground had already been transformed into real magma by the "Wrath of Gmir"!

Jax, who fell onto the lava, would naturally not sink unless his density was greater than that of the lava.

However, falling onto molten lava at temperatures of thousands of degrees still caused his body unimaginable pain.

His clothes were burned the moment they came into contact with the molten lava.

The skin was burned, and even the flesh was melted away, so deep that the bone was visible!

The physical pain caused Jacks immense suffering, yet it also seemed to grant him a sliver of clarity.

His brown eyes reflected the shape of teardrops, but more than that, they held a raging fire!

His reason was being gradually consumed by the flames of despair.

Before long, even the soul will go completely insane.

But at this moment, this elderly man with sparse white hair and deep wrinkles displayed astonishing perseverance.

He forced himself to open his palm, and there, in his hand, was a small, wet, sticky figure, about the size of his palm.

The little man's face had only one hole, from which grayish-white mist was billowing out.

Without hesitation, Jacks endured the torment of both physical and spiritual pain and stuffed the little man into his mouth.

In that instant.

Pain seemed to be banished from Jax's body and mind.

His rationality seemed to have been preserved, yet it also seemed to have been swallowed up by some deeper level of madness.

His body also underwent changes.

His body turned black, his skin wrinkled, and he secreted obvious water stains. His hair, eyebrows, and other hair withered and fell off, and his limbs became thinner and longer.

In the blink of an eye, Jax seemed to have been assimilated by the little man, becoming a large, black, long-limbed, swollen, wrinkled, wet baby.

His eyes, nose, mouth, and ears had moved out of their original positions and were shifted towards the center of his face, as if they were about to come together and coalesce into a completely new organ.

His skin, his arms, the shape of his new organs—all possessed an indescribable mystery and evil!

no doubt.

The ability that he could use as a last resort at the last moment must be his hidden trump card!

however.

Although all of this happened in the blink of an eye, the teardrop-like creature had no intention of giving him any chance to react!

The teardrop-like figure pulled the Ruthert Staff, which was firmly embedded in the ground, and cast a new spell once again.

"Eek!"

Jacks roared like a madman, making sounds like a baby crying.

The lifelike teardrops in front of him remained completely unaffected.

He simply raised his staff once more, and endless blue light, like the starry sky, condensed from the tip of the staff.

Under its radiance, even the sun seemed to pale in comparison.

The condensed blue starlight seemed to transform into a deep starry sky.

An endless glow seemed to emanate from the tip of the staff, like a comet streaking across the sky with a long tail. Or perhaps it was a dazzling galaxy, stretching out from the starry sky.

The center of the 'Galaxy' is as dark and deep as the night, while the outer glow carries a different kind of splendor and brilliance.

And this galaxy is frantically devouring all creation that stands in its way!

Including Jack, who has already transformed into a wet baby!

"Bang!"

Its figure was instantly covered by fluorescent light.

It was as if an endless galaxy was constantly washing over his body, again and again.

Under the onslaught of the Milky Way, Jax could no longer even utter the cries of an infant.

Comet Yazler

[The magic of Azler, one of the Origin Magicians.]

One of the legendary magics.

It is said that the home of pyroxene is located in the distant starry sky.

Capable of releasing stellar torrents—a super-large comet.
