I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

After giving some instructions on the details of the defense of Capri, the Skeleton King left the Capri capital and headed to the front lines.

Urik returned to the garrison's encampment, taking command in the center, and occasionally using his third eye from the watchtower to survey the distance and observe the surroundings.

One day, two days, three days.

Nothing happened.

Urik seemed somewhat complacent and had his subordinates prepare a lavish feast for him.

We were eating and drinking, feeling very relaxed.

After a hearty meal and drinks, he let out a long sigh and walked out of the building again.

Suddenly it rose and took flight!

The power of the five lamps connected with him, and he raised his hands high and pressed down forcefully! A shockwave spread out, as if to crush the camp!

"Lord Ulric!"

"Your Majesty the Duke?!"

"What are you doing?!"

Amidst shouts and roars, the three- and four-lamp kings in the camp linked their lights together and immediately began defense!

However, without them, a 20-meter-tall red and black skull suddenly appeared, and the shockwave created by Urik dissipated like smoke!

"It really was a trap."

Urik sighed again, his figure slowly descending. Looking at the surprised and puzzled faces, and at the incredulous expressions of his subordinates who had been with him for over a hundred years, his smile was bitter.

When was I exposed?

“A long time ago, during the Fishing Lantern Feast.”

"As expected, I shouldn't have taken any chances. Is the Star King's power chain really as magical as the legends say?" Urik shook his head.

"Lord Ulric..."

His confidant's anxious calls were interrupted by the two horns that rose from Urik's forehead.

Countless people's pupils contracted as a result.

Countless people were shaken by this!

"Demons?!"

"when?!"

Urik did not respond, but simply looked at the Skeleton Emperor and said, "Make your move, Your Majesty."

"Although it's pointless to talk about it afterward, I really hope you didn't take any action." The Skeleton Emperor's voice was deep and resonant: "You've always been a good fellow, Ulric. When conflicts arise among the dukes, you're often the one who mediates them. Everyone trusts you. You were also the most sincere when welcoming the King of the Stars, and you communicated with him the most."

You were the one who smoothed things over between Figo and Ipolito because of the merchant group; otherwise, things would have been very difficult for me.

Although I deeply despise the demon race, I genuinely considered that if you hadn't attacked this time, I might have spared you.

“Don’t say that, Your Majesty.” Ulric shook his head: “I didn’t necessarily do those things out of good intentions… Being a nice guy is the best way to infiltrate. If it weren’t for Figo, you might not have been able to see through me when the King was resurrected.”

“Playing a role for hundreds of years, the fake becomes real,” said the Skeleton King.

Urik chuckled: "Killing someone, do you have to destroy their spirit too? Your Majesty. Make your move. I've been prepared for this day. Ever since I was sent by the King to infiltrate the Three-Eyed Clan because I awakened a perception ability similar to that of the Three-Eyed Clan's bloodline, I've been preparing for this day to come."

"So, did you see through my disguise?" the Skeleton Emperor asked.

Urik paused for a moment: "It doesn't matter anymore."

He looked around at his trusted subordinates, their disbelief and grief evident, and shook his head, repeating the same expression.

"It doesn't matter anymore."

……

Bath Sea, Hanlerd Fishing Light Group.

In the world of Lantern Stars, there are two major fishing groups among the human race, and their captains are both five-lantern kings.

Now, King Wan Gang of Fishing Lanterns has ended his life with a funeral for ascending to heaven, the Fishing Lanterns Guild has been partially disbanded, and only the Hanlerd Fishing Lanterns Guild remains.

Previously, Hanlerd had always been overshadowed by Wangan, so he seemed somewhat inconspicuous. But no matter what, he was still a five-lamp king standing on the upper level of the Lamp Star, with many followers.

After Wan Gang's ascension funeral, he was the first to shout out to the Demon Clan's king to fish for lanterns in the sea! We are not going to fight, we are just going to fish for lanterns in those rich seas that we couldn't go to before!

Of course, if he encounters demons intercepting him along the way and they prevent him from fishing, then he'll have no choice but to kill them!

Such a carefree attitude has attracted many admirers, and his fishing boat group has now expanded further, owning thousands of boats.

On this day, the leader of the Lantern Fishing Corps, Hanlerd, received a message from the Lantern Army Command.

Hopefully he'll get closer to the base; it seems the demon race is planning to target the Lightbringer Army in the Barth Sea.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, he immediately ordered the main fleet to turn back, and as night fell, he secretly used the Den Den Mushi again to contact the unknown other party.

"Operation leaked, cancel immediately!"

"...Hello, hello, can you hear me? Hello?!" He looked at the Den Den Mushi, his heart sinking. "Transfer to Den Den Mushi?!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed out of the cabin, ignoring the surprise and doubt of his subordinates, and disappeared into the night. But not long after, four figures intercepted him on the sea!

“Ipolito, Papa, Bambri, Yuan… they really think highly of me.”

Ipolito snorted: "No wonder I've never been able to buy high-grade lamps and wicks from you. You're actually a demon? If Old Master Wangang knew that the leader of the Lantern Fishing Gang, who has been as famous as him for hundreds of years, was a demon, he'd probably be so angry he'd come back to life!"

"Enough with the nonsense, don't let him get away."

Bambri drew her sword and launched the first attack!

……

Late at night three days later.

Shadows swept across the seemingly calm waters of the Bass Sea.

Five demon legion commanders appeared together, accompanied by eight other demons who were close to the level of the Five Lamps, or whose abilities were powerful and bizarre, or whose physiques were extraordinary.

Send only the elite troops to launch a surprise attack!

A group of 13 people, using their invisibility abilities, stormed the Lightbringer's base and attacked Bambri!

But what awaits them is not only the four dukes who besieged and killed Hanreld, but also the Giant King, the Half-Demon King, the Mermaid King, and Grenin!

Three of the original eight supreme warriors of the Lampfire Star had gathered, each possessing the strength to fight at least two opponents. Naturally, the Demon Clan suffered a crushing defeat, leaving behind five corpses!

Two more of the five legion commanders have left!

The demon race suffered a devastating blow, and their overall morale plummeted.

A few days later, in the human seas, three large merchant guilds were suddenly destroyed, and all the lamps and wicks were lost. The demon general, who was hiding as the guild leader, returned to the demon seas with these supplies and showed strength close to the level of the five lamps, which made the demons regain some morale.

At this moment, Figo, who was advancing his bloodline in the deep sea, finally opened his eyes.

Chapter 386 New Abilities

Figo has now emerged from seclusion and successfully entered the peak of R9, halfway to the ultimate perfection...

I made a mistake, let's try again.

With his bloodline advancement complete, Figo opened his eyes from the seabed and could feel a great difference in himself; even his breathing carried a sense of power.

This feeling is somewhat like when he first ignited the flame in his body, and the essence of his power underwent a phased leap.

Opening the prison file, apart from Figo's power advancing to the mythical level with a slight improvement, the other data had not changed much. However, the data was still the same as before, but the power that Figo could unleash was not limited to these data.

He has always placed great emphasis on practical application and skill development. The countless combat experiences he gained in Impel Down when he was weak in his early years have always been one of Figo's most valuable assets, allowing him to use about 90% of his power perfectly in battle.

Now it can perform at least 120%!

Those extra things were the result of a deeper fusion of bloodlines and the changes brought about by his newly awakened abilities.

Besides his performance, he could also feel that the bottleneck in his strength was loosening. Under the influence of his bloodline, even if Figo did nothing, as time went by and as he grew older, his physique, which had already reached 9.6 million, would continue to grow little by little, developing on its own, and he might even be able to break through the 10 million mark!

Of course, adequate nutrition is also essential.

Having spent more than ten days at the bottom of the sea, he was very hungry and wanted to kill a sea monster to eat.

Then go kill them.

"Perfect opportunity to try out this new skill."

……

These past ten days have been tough for Baimon.

In his nearly two thousand years of life, this man, who claimed to be omniscient, felt fear for the first time. He felt no fear when he joined forces with Astaroth to fight Figo and discovered Figo's power.

But now it's different; he discovers that the spirit of the lamp seems to really be turning him into a sea monster!

It means exactly what it says.

His knowledge fruit was sealed when he faced the giant tortoise, rendering him unable to use it. His altered perceptions gradually became reality, and he discovered that he had lost the ability to return to his original demon form!

The sea beast he transformed into, over five thousand meters long, seems to be his true form! It always has been!

He could only confirm that this was related to the half of the ship spirit, Liss, that had merged into his body during the battle with Figo.

He was like those sea fish that were transformed into sea beasts after the ship spirits fell, gradually losing himself.

He was filled with regret, never imagining that he could be so arrogant, or perhaps he had become a little too proud after playing a trick on Rillentoffer, thinking that if Rillentoffer could get away, he could too.

If this continues... I'll really die here pointlessly.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, the sea began to tremble!

Baimon heard the giant tortoise let out an angry roar, which sounded somewhat familiar.

"The King of the Stars? Again?"

"Still alone? Not even dressed?"

Is this a case of returning after recovering from injury?

He didn't expect that after more than ten days, Figo, who had suffered a loss and retreated, would come back again. Wasn't he worried that he would anger the giant tortoise and cause it to spit out a bunch of strange, controlled creatures?

However, Baimon immediately realized that this might be an opportunity he couldn't afford to miss!

If I don't take this opportunity to escape, I probably won't last until Figo comes back again!
