Chapter 75: The Cursed
Wooong.
The dungeon is twisted. To repeat the time at one point again, the foreign object is pushed out, and the same thing is repeated.
Ivans body was pushed away, and at some point, he returned to the familiar cabin. As if time has rewind.
thud!
The sound of a ship breaking through the waves was heard. Ivan felt it swaying and approaching the island.
Realizing that he had returned to the starting point, he asked the party.
Is everyone okay?
Everyone got weird! They suddenly turn into agitation and violence. What the hell happened?
If you lose your life here, it will be sacrificed immediately to the god of the sea. The island itself became an altar. As new people keep coming in from outside, so the number of victims increases, the power of the sea god will grow stronger. Damn, I made a mistake.
There was nothing wrong with the plan to attack the pirates and reduce their numbers. However, as a result, the dungeon was further strengthened.
As the power of the sea gods grows stronger, the cultists also get drunk with that power and run rampant. A dangerous alliance has finally broken like this.
Irene frowned as she looked somewhere with complicated eyes.
What are you going to do? I think they will come here soon.
Tadadak!
Footsteps are heard, the sailors descend towards the cabin. Ivan glanced at her and shook his head.
In a situation where the power of the sea god is getting stronger, we cant attack the members of the sea god first. Lets just get out.
Ivans right eye turned golden. The magical eyes filled with divine power broke through the blocked wall and scanned all directions.
There is no second chance. Follow me, I will make a way.
Ivan, who put his hand against the wall, quickly drew up his magic power. And he poured it out power at once.
bang!
Strong wood that could withstand strong waves and rough sea breezes burst open at once, leaving a hole in the boat. In an instant, the boat tilted and the seawater flowed in.
Ivan ran outside. The sea froze and supported him.
Hurry up!
Ferocious Tooth and Delfino jumped next. Behind them, Irene embraced them with the power of the spirits.
The sea froze in the shape of a small boat. The spirits led the ship of transparent ice and ran through the waves.
When everyone in the party escaped from the ship, the door to the cabin opened violently and the crew appeared.
Where are you going like that!
The eyes of the sailors who shouted with a harsh voice were half-stained with madness. Although it was subtle to be called as a colleague, they were still cooperating for a short time, but now the eyes are fierce.
Come back!
When they got angry and slammed the door, it was scattered to dust. It clearly showed that superhuman powers resided in the bodies of ordinary sailors.
Ivan looked at them as they stood on a boat made of ice.
Even though they were a cultist, there was nothing special about them, but they changed in an instant.
As Ivan, who had been drinking with them for days, muttered bitterly, Delfino nodded.
People who dont know think that cultists are different from ordinary people, but in reality, they are ordinary people. Someones neighbor, friend, lover, or family member. Thats why its scary. Because evil always sleeps in the ordinary.
There were many reasons why Santus Populi branded them as pagan. The deeper your faith, the more you will be tainted with uncontrollable madness.
It would not be wrong to say that their mind was polluted by the power of the tyrant of the deep sea.
Whoa!
An icy ship that ran fast over the sea reached the island. As Ivan got off the beach, he said, pointing to the cultists ship approaching.
We have to go inside first before they catch up. If we cant get out of here by destroying the dungeons core, well have to go back to that ship. They would have gotten stronger at that time, so it would be difficult to get out of it as easily as it is now.
At that, Irene nodded his head.
Its twice as difficult to escape like this. Because they are the ones who have lost their minds in the battle of the sea.
They crossed the sea using magic and the power of spirits, but that was very inefficient. At least she tried it because the island was nearby. If it was normal, she would have exhausted her strength and fallen into the sea before that.
As the power of the island grows stronger, I can understand where the core is. Lets go.
By looking at it a couple of times already, the islands geography was roughly grasped. Ivan could feel where the core was, so he could move with the shortest path. However, even when moving like that, it was a little close.
The beach where Ivans party arrived was the furthest from the dungeons core. Although they started early, it was not so comfortable considering the pirates who would anchor closer.
Shh!
Ivans ax flew round and round, he smashed the head of the mutants. They squirmed and tried to get closer with their brains half blown away, but disappeared when Ivan pierced their heart and set it on fire.
It definitely has a heavier taste than before. These guys are getting stronger too.
As Ivan muttered with a serious expression, Ferocious Tooth chuckled.
These guys are losers in the end. The ghosts who were cursed by the old gods and only had their shells left. Theyre still inferior to a great serpent goddess.
Ferocious Tooth struck the sword strongly. One mutant was split vertically and fell to the floor. He kicked the guys torso away and looked in front of him.
Youre a better match than these guys.
Shh!
Ivan broke his neck with his left hand. The sword flew past him.
Huh, are you avoiding this?
A man holding a thin curved sword. A pirate with an impressive cut across one of his face and sharp eyes approached with a touch.
I havent seen you before I dont think youre from any other family. Where are you from?
As he approached, the stench of fishy blood wafted out. It was different from the disgusting smell of the mutant. It was definitely human blood.
He was used to cutting people from his posture. Even if it seemed to move randomly, the hand holding the sword was stable, and the steps were also unshakable. He was always ready to fight.
If I ask, you have to answer
As he chattered, Ivan took a step forward and threw his spear. The pirates sword was bent like a snake and blocked the spear, but Ivan increased his strength.
Chiik!
Ivans spear cut through the pirates forearm. Instantly, red blood splattered onto the floor. However, the long torn wounds healed in an instant. The skin twitched and stuck to it and recovered.
This is better than recovery
Ivan narrowed his eyes and looked at him and said,
The specter is covered in flesh. who are you?
Heh, when I asked, you ignored it, but now its the other way around? Do you think I will answer?
If you dont want to answer, then dont.
Well, Ivan didnt come here being good, so whats the need for an introduction? Hed be dead soon anyway.
Ivan nodded and swung the spear. A specter in someones body moved his sword to block it. It was surprising that he reacted so quickly even though the movement was awkward because it wasnt his body.
Pik!
Perhaps it was a movement beyond the bodys limits, the joints were broken and blood flowed out. Then the wound disappeared as if it had been washed again.
Ivan glanced backward. His party was also fighting against the enemy that had appeared.
Purify with light!
Realizing that the opponent was a specter, Delfino scattered his divine power. As the thick divine power emanating from his stigma passed through his enemies, their bodies stopped moving for a moment.
Using that short gap, Ferocious Tooth swung the sword. The pirates body blocking the front was split into several pieces and fell to the floor. As the blood soaked the surroundings, the strong smell of blood spread.
However, even though the specter was purified, it did not disappear. Those who had to wash away the evil karma they had accumulated and disappear into the other world stood there.
It was something they experienced recently. The sea gods grabbed their souls and did not let them go. They were cursed to wander the seas forever.
Maybe it was because the power of the sea gods got stronger here, and compared to the undead pirates they had met before, it seemed even more terrifying.
Kill Kil Kil! Tear to death! Take their life!
Ivan looked at him, retrieved his spear, and chanted lowly.
Valdr galga (master of the gallows).
Magical power surged from the bottom, squeezing the pirates neck. The gallows appeared and sentenced him to death.
But in the choking situation, the pirate grinned. The already dead specter shouted loudly.
You cannot kill me!
Tadada!!
The string of magical power that tightened the pirates neck is broken. The gallows collapsed, revealing something dark and filthy magic behind the pirates back.
The body of the unknown pirate rapidly rotted. Soon, his skin dried up like a mummy, and his backbones were exposed. Then he said to Ivan, scattering a terrible glare.
My death has already been taken by the sea god!
squash!
Shoot!
Somewhere there was the sound of waves. The sound of the sea pounding violently was heard. Ivan heard the sound of a ship moving through the great waters.
-Ahahahaha!
-treasure! Get your treasure!!
-Take them all and loot!
The laughter of ghosts was heard. The chill from the very old evil spirits made the air cold. A cold wind blew to the bone.
The ship appears. A symbol of fear that conquered the sea a long time ago, the flagship of pirates that dominated the times.
A ghost ship appeared as it cut the land like the sea. A translucent ghost ship with only ghosts now with everything rotting away.
As the ghost ship appeared, the presence of the ghosts surrounding it grew stronger. The energy of death occupied all directions and poured out.
I felt bad to compare you to the undead pirates.
If those guys were just guys who roamed the sea with their rotten bodies, these guys were full of bitter resentment and curses. The curse of the sea god was so strong that it was holding onto even a ship that had already rotted away.
Even the pirate who stole the heart of the sea god could not escape the curse of the sea god. It is a pathetic result.
Hearing Iraines murmur, the pirate laughed.
-Kikiki!
The pirate shouted while wearing the captains hat, completely stripped of his body and revealed as a specter filled with grudges and curses.
-Now I am the god of the sea!
The pirate, the old ghost, and the laughter of Carly Hawkins tied to this cursed island shook even the island.
Ivan felt the heart of the sea god in the distance radiating magical magic.
A bitter laugh at the wickedness of using an old pirate as a gatekeeper, and a sneer at the poor pirate who is still being used after hundreds of years.
Ivan raised the spear. He rushed towards the ship. A storm raged and thunder roared.
Woooow!
