"Of course. They are right on the shore. They can come over anytime I give the signal."
Megan pulled at Shad's clothes and said in the rain that she had made a very careful plan.
"Then don't be anxious. Let's first find out who is against us and don't scare him away."
Shade said, holding the chain with both hands, and suddenly pulled the chain of sin with three-color "moonlight thorns" wrapped around it out of the four big snowballs. The three-color moonlight thorns turned into stars in the rain and scattered into the air. At the same time, the blazing flames flowed out from the source of the chain, that is, Shade's sleeves, and instantly extended to the entire chain.
Although it was raining, the burning black iron chains did not allow the rain to form steam at all. The fiery red light illuminated the surroundings, which reminded Shad of the weapon of the Fire Demon.
However, the sorceress beside Shad did not think that the flame was just for show. She looked seriously at the flame, which seemed even a little dim, and sensed a very ancient power from it, which was even somewhat like the power of a nun she knew.
The "Chain of Sin" does not have any offensive power, but it is indeed a weapon, so it can be affected by the spell "Flame Attachment" and add the power of the primordial fire.
"Please stay with me. I can handle it."
Shad's voice reached Megan's ears, and the sorceress immediately followed Shad to the higher side of the deck. The unconscious captain was kicked to the edge of the deck by Shad, and he stopped after hitting the railing heavily.
The water ghost who climbed onto the deck stretched out his claws towards the captain, but the flaming chains that swept across cut it apart like a sharp blade.
The chain made a sound as it was danced in Xia De's hand, and even the afterimage created an illusion like a fire fan around him.
The undead that boarded the ship were cut apart one after another by the chains and knocked back into the water. Shad finally reached the edge of the deck with Megan.
At this time, the entire ship had begun to tilt severely to the right, and the left side where they were was the highest point on the side of the hull. Looking at the dark water surface with rain falling, the dense hands extending from below the water surface and the water ghosts clinging to the side of the hull with the "corpse wall" were really terrifying.
When Shade was in Midhill Castle, he had seen more undead in the narrow space between life and death than this. But the undead in Midhill Castle were mostly spirits, these were corpse ghosts, so the impact on people was completely different.
"Do you believe me?"
While waving the burning chains to sweep the water ghosts off the hull, Xia De suddenly asked Megan behind him.
"Of course, what kind of stupid thing are you talking about?"
"Well, hold my waist tightly and jump down with me."
Xia De pointed a finger at the group of water ghosts below, and the brown-haired lady frowned slightly:
"What about this person?"
She was talking about the unconscious captain, and because he was a man, Megan didn't even want to kick him.
"You should have a potion for underwater breathing, right?"
"certainly."
So Shade poured the potion into the captain's mouth and left him on the boat. After Megan hugged his waist from behind, Shade also took back the chain and pulled out the pendant from his collar.
Megan was now behind Shade, and her vision was greatly affected by the night rain, so she could not see the pattern on the badge. Instead, she saw Shade gently kiss the badge, and a soft and warm white light immediately bloomed on the badge.
That was the light that represented the element of miracles. Although the witch's power was limited due to the instability of her soul, her perception and knowledge reserves were not weakened.
She could discern divine power from the warm light, but within that divine power there was also an ancient chill that was inextricably linked to "death":
"Get ready to jump! Praise—"
Shade felt the lady behind him hugging his waist tightly, so he took her and jumped down from the deck which was descending in height. At the same time, he whispered the second half of the sentence:
"Praise the angel of death!"
The soft white light instantly illuminated the entire area of water, and the shadow of a huge angel with wings spread out flashed above the two people's heads. Following it was the sacred power to resist the undead and evil, spreading in all directions with the round emblem as the center.
The gift from priest Augustus to Shade gave the witch detection badge some of the power of the "Angel of Death". Corresponding to the power of the "Angel", when Shade injects spirit into it, a special area can be formed within a 30-foot (about 9.15 meters) range centered on the badge, causing relatively powerful attacks on evil creatures such as evil spirits and demons.
Last winter, when fighting against the demon of desire for proliferation, Fanni, at the Three Cats Inn in Tobesk, Shade tried it once, and the effect was quite good. But after that, this badge was never used as a weapon again. After all, Shade rarely encountered groups of enemies, and this alchemical item was not needed to deal with a single enemy.
At this time, the original resistance range of only 30 feet was strengthened by mithril in the Earth Furnace, and the range of the power spread covered at least the area within a radius of 50 feet.
As the white light fell from the sinking yacht deck to the water surface, the group of water ghosts densely gathered around the cruise ship in the dark rainy night were blown apart as if they were dropped into a hot oil pan with cold water.
In the holy white light, even the water ghosts under the water flew out of the water, and their limbs melted and the remaining limbs were washed away.
After Shad and Megan stepped on the water for at least three seconds, they saw dense limbs of water ghosts falling into the lake again 50 feet away, accompanied by the sound of rain.
The white light on the water surface lingered for a long time. Shad held the hot round badge tightly - Megan was obviously less than 1 meter away from him. He thanked Father Augustus in his heart.
The lady behind him finally recovered from the impact of the vast divine power:
"What is this? I have never seen such a powerful alchemical weapon!"
The alchemical skills of Priest Augustus may not be as strong as those of the wise witch, but the materials used by the priest are something the witch could never imagine.
But now is not the time to discuss such things. After the group of water ghosts were destroyed by Shade's attack, the remaining water ghosts who were fortunately not within 50 feet did not continue to approach.
Xia De and Megan stood on the water and observed the surroundings. The abnormal phenomenon soon appeared. Megan reached out to catch the raindrops around her, but found that they were clearly tiny ice particles.
"The temperature is dropping and the whispering element is spreading. Be careful, the enemy is coming!"
A rustling sound quickly spread from afar, and extremely cold air rushed from the water surface towards the sunken ship. While quickly freezing the raindrops and the lake surface, the spreading white air even clung to the sunken ship behind the two people, two-thirds of its volume still on the water surface, and the speed of the ship's descent slowed down rapidly.
This strange chill also spread to Xia De and Megan's shoes, but they were quickly cleared away. However, the feeling of extreme coldness constantly rushing from the soles of the feet to the whole body was not very comfortable on a rainy night.
A sense of emptiness and indifference appeared in my heart. Looking into the distance, I could vaguely see a small wooden boat anchored on the lake. The wooden boat was also the center of the spread of the cold air and was now completely frozen to the ice.
There were three people on the boat, two of them were wearing black robes, and their figures were not clearly visible in the rainy night. The one who was dressed normally was undoubtedly "Bali with Rotten Eyes". However, he looked very bad at this time. The left half of his body was covered with cold ice, and his left chest was cut open and exposed. Shade squinted his eyes and could barely see two different hearts beating in his chest.
One was a normal heart, and the other was the pale relic heart seen in the morning.
"You see, my trap worked."
The sorceress behind Shade said somewhat complacently.
There is no doubt that these three people were the ones who controlled the water ghosts to attack the ship just now, and the situation of Barry with rotten eyes was caused by the relic going out of control.
Soon this was no longer just speculation, because Rotten Eyes Barry summoned the life ring behind him. The three-ring life ring, which was originally made of brass, was now covered with a layer of solid ice, and the aura of all the whispering spirit runes on the life ring was brighter than the other three spirit runes.
The strength of a ring warlock who is affected by the out-of-control state of the relic cannot be judged only by the ring warlock level and spirit runes, but also by the power of the relic. Therefore, although Rotten Eye Barry looks like he is about to die, it is hard to say what he can do before he dies.
"Your trap worked, but it also created a monster."
Xia De muttered quietly, while Megan said something else. Their attention was completely on the three people on the boat.
The other two people on the wooden boat on the ice had already walked off the boat with Rotten Eyes Barry. They did not hold umbrellas, and the two unidentified black-robed men did not reveal their ranks. Judging from their clergy attire, they should also be members of the "Drowned Cult".
"Give back what you took!"
The man with one side of his body covered in ice said in a stern voice. In the rainy night, his shrill voice sounded like an evil ghost in a story. He took off the eye patch on his right eye, revealing the black eye and white pupil. At this time, the evil eye was spinning rapidly in his eye socket, and it was also out of control.
For a ring sorcerer who transplants these organ relics into his body, once one of the relics in his body goes out of control, the riot of the whispering elements will cause problems in all the relics on his body. It is obvious that Barry with the rotten eye is beyond saving. In this state, even if his heart and magic eye are dug out and stored again, he will definitely not survive.
