Charles and Bandage watched Nico nervously, observing his mental state.
One hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed, and Nico was fine. This method was effective. As long as the black spot was removed, the other crew members would be able to wake up.
"Let's go back and save our crew!" Charles suppressed his excitement and prepared to return to the Narwhal.
However, at this moment, Charles felt that his wings were suddenly stuck, and something was affecting his movements!
Immediately afterwards, a tumbling cannonball shot out from the darkness and instantly appeared in front of Charles!
This scene completely coincides with what is recorded in the diary.
Charles was about to teleport, but his thoughts were half a second slower than the explosion. The violent explosion instantly enveloped the three people.
Even though Charles's defense was very strong, he was still seriously injured by the powerful shells. The flames burned his skin black, and pieces of shrapnel pierced into his body under the powerful propulsion force.
Bandage and Nico felt a little better because they were behind Charles, but not much better. After all, their bodies were not as impact-resistant as Charles'.
Soon, the three people who were falling downwards were caught by the crew and brought to the deck.
They began to draw the magic circle again. They drew it very quickly, seeming a little impatient.
Charles' eyelids bulged slightly and then he suppressed his anger. A black and red spider quickly emerged, crawled quickly over everyone's feet, and rushed towards the cabin.
With a "pop", a big green hand slapped the spider, instantly crushing it into a piece of flesh and blood. Then Norden controlled the huge deformed head, opened the hideous mouth that was scratched to the ear, and showed a bright smile to Charles.
They knew Charles very well and anticipated his final move.
The badly injured Bandage-Wounded Vine wanted to resist, but his body suddenly stiffened, and Linda, with an expressionless face, poked her head out of his chest.
As her hands that were pinching her heart exerted a little force, the man with the bandage instantly fell to the ground with a painful expression, his limbs tightened and his body curled up.
He gritted his teeth and was about to stand up, but he saw Charles gave him a quiet look, and the bandage stopped struggling and lay on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Nico, who was about to resist, immediately stopped his counterattack.
"Captain, don't worry. It doesn't matter if you can't recite. I will teach you how to recite later." Dipper said excitedly, and stretched out his hand to help the seriously injured Charles up, dragged him directly into the magic circle, and let him lean against his arms.
Charles looked up at his green, scaly chin and the tiny black dots hidden between the green scales.
He had never noticed these things before. They seemed to have some ability to make the creatures affected by them ignore their existence.
"This place is so far away from 005-3. If we hold a sacrificial ceremony like this, will it be able to receive it?" Charles said evenly to Dipper.
"It's indeed a bit too far, but there's nothing we can do about it. Captain, you're really too noisy. Keeping you here will affect our next move."
After Dipper finished speaking, he turned to the others who were watching, "Hey, why are there only four of us? That's not enough. Who else wants to join us?"
After the other crew members looked at each other for a few seconds, Norden moved his green body and walked in without saying a word. Then Linda followed closely holding Grace's hand.
Even in this situation, the tip of the black thorn in Dipper's hand was pressed tightly against Charles' neck to prevent him from moving.
The chanting sound gradually began to get louder. Facing the inevitable death situation, Charles still did not give up hope of escape. He waited patiently, looking for the only chance of survival.
As time passed, Dipper's expression became more and more fanatical, and the black thorn in his hand began to tremble.
Charles stretched out his hand and slowly approached Dipper's chin, and used his fingers to pick out the green scales with black spots on them, and threw them into the blood beside him.
"Wake up! Dipper! Do you really want to take me with you to die?" Charles whispered while quickly pinching off the black spots on Dipper's body.
"Da Da Da" that was the sound of boots stepping on blood plasma. The executioners around began to surround him with weapons, ready to start!
The one who was about to chop off Dipper's head was Odric, his handsome face full of excitement, his hands holding the axe trembling slightly with excitement, as if he was doing something extremely mission-oriented.
"Faster, faster!" Charles' hands quickly searched Dipper's body, pulling out all the black spots.
"Captain!! It will be too late if we don't take action now." Nico's face was full of anxiety, and the low footsteps coming from behind him almost made his hair stand on end.
"Whoosh~" Odric swung his axe and chopped it down heavily.
"Wake up!" Charles cleared the last black spot on Dipper's body.
At this moment, Charles watched the heavy axe blade chop into Dipper's neck. The next second, Odric felt his hand loosen, and Dipper's head, which was about to be separated from his body, quickly turned into blue mist.
"Now! Do it!!" With Charles's roar, the bandages wrapped around the second mate's body instantly broke, and a big tree instantly grew out and stabbed towards the airbag above.
When the big airbag was torn apart instantly, the deck of the Narwhal tilted to the right instantly, and all the people on the deck, including the corpses on the deck, rolled towards the bow.
"Dipper! Let them stop for a while!" Upon hearing Charles' order, a cloud of blue smoke instantly enveloped everyone. At the same time, the trunks growing from the bandages began to quickly extend their branches and roots towards the crew members.
Charles' heart moved slightly, and two tentacles instantly stretched out from the ground. With a gentle roll, they pulled off the small black spots and hair stuck on Lily's body.
"Get all the black spots off their bodies, and quickly!"
As soon as Charles finished speaking, he saw Norden holding the sharp silver wire and cutting towards his neck.
The transparent tentacles rising from the ground quickly rolled up the seriously injured Charles and dodged to the right.
The whole deck was in chaos, and from time to time some people slipped and fell into the darkness.
But slowly, more and more people got out of control, and the crew of the Narwhal all got rid of control. The situation was completely stabilized. Under the command of the seriously injured Charles, they began to clean up the black spots on other people.
