“I am not complete.”
The low, hoarse voice seemed to be getting closer, but the person on the steps with his back to them did not move. Combined with the shaking of the ship and the sound of thunder outside the deck, this scene was more terrifying than the monster that made Shade drink soup just now.
“But I crave wholeness.”
The words continued, and the light at Shad's fingertips became dimmer. The surrounding darkness was suppressing it, so he could only increase his spiritual output.
"so."
The air in the cabin seemed to be frozen, but it began to flow at this moment. Miss Princess, who was closer, felt the wind coming from behind her, and a hoarse man's voice appeared directly behind her:
"Come and make me complete!"
A fatal sense of crisis surged in her heart, and Miss Princess instinctively wanted to turn around, but she stopped herself from thinking:
"Shad, is there something behind me?"
"Don't turn around, there's nothing behind you!"
All the shadows are at the stairs. Miss Princess must not turn around when facing the enemy.
"Okay, I understand then."
The pale young girl smiled:
"I see."
He raised his right hand and gently touched the ruby earring on his ear. After his fingertips touched the gem, a faint red halo rippled out of the gem. His slender fingers stirred the halo, and as his fingers moved, a thin red light trace was drawn in the air.
Then he gently moved forward a little, and the red "ribbon" flew towards the guy with his back to the two of them. After tying him up smoothly, the sailor sat there stiffly and stopped talking, and even the sound of water dripping disappeared.
"Go, can't hold it for too long."
Miss Princess immediately turned to Shad behind her and said that she looked even worse.
"This sage-level relic, in addition to blocking spells and magic, can also temporarily imprison a target. This is too powerful."
As he ran down the stairs with the girl, whose hair was almost completely red, Shade couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't immediately ask the other party about the function of the relic, but planned to wait until they left the ship to ask.
Think about this sage-class ship, think about the necklace the witch lent you, think about the gift box that contains any abnormal objects.
“Oh, it’s actually normal to have this effect.”
After crossing the third step, the cold wind and the strange atmosphere also eased a little. Shade and Miss Princess both closed their mouths and breathed heavily through their noses. They resisted the urge to look back, but walked down the dilapidated wooden stairs quickly.
Both of them knew that the sailor must be watching them from behind, but fortunately the ruby earrings were restrained long enough until they turned the corner of the stairs, and no strange sounds came from above.
After getting away from the dripping sailor, the cabin seemed to return to normal. However, the stairs seemed a little too long. They stopped to rest for a while. They thought they would see the captain soon, but then they walked up the stairs for five minutes before they finally heard a noisy sound coming from further down.
Going further down, I could already see a faint green light coming from the bottom. It seemed that this unexpected adventure was not long at all.
"Um?"
After stepping over a certain step, Miss Princess suddenly frowned and looked at Shad. Shad, who was enduring hunger, stopped and looked down at his arms.
On the back of his bare hands, the skin slowly cracked inch by inch, and golden light shone under those cracks, complementing the silver light on his fingertips. He rolled up his sleeves, and the cracks extended from his hands to his entire body. In just a blink of an eye, his entire body was covered with golden cracks, and even his clothes had cracks.
Swinging his arms, the golden light traces left afterimages and golden light spots like Mars in the air. Brilliant golden light radiated outward from the inside of the cracks. It was warm and gentle, but extremely sacred and solemn.
The feeling of fullness and warmth of power greatly diluted Xia De's hunger at the moment. His body slowly immersed in the hot water as if he was taking a shower in the bathroom. The oppressive feeling he had felt since arriving on the ship in this strange sea seemed to dissipate with the appearance of these light marks.
The golden light was also reflected in Miss Princess's eyes. The holy light soothed her spirit. Although the person in front of her was only a second-ring warlock, she felt a breathless feeling when looking at him.
"This is... the afterglow of divinity."
As long as Shad holds the divinity, the state of divine afterglow will continue. However, there are only two situations for this phenomenon to appear on the surface of the body. One is that he falls into a deep dream, exposing the essence of his soul, such as the dream of the Joyful Dream Pen; the other is that he encounters an environment related to God, and the power of divinity will automatically appear to protect him, such as saving the little girl's family last time.
If this was a dream, Xia De would be very happy, but now it is reality. In other words...
He looked at the pale green light projecting upward from deeper inside the staircase:
"Everyone is on the ship, but the ship is not unique. The only unique cabin is the captain's cabin. There... there is the power of the evil god."
The good news is that at least this time it is only the power of God that exists on the ship that hunts for Him. The situation is much better than the last time when he was watched by the evil god.
He held his stomach to calm himself down, and seeing that the girl beside him was fine, he said softly:
"Don't worry, it's just a decoration and will disappear when we leave"
Miss Princess covered her mouth in surprise, but did not ask any more questions. Xia De asked in his heart:
"Just to be sure, do you feel the trace of the evil god watching here?"
Not at all.
Xia De breathed a sigh of relief and said to the girl beside him:
"Miss Princess, we are going to meet the captain next. No matter what happens later, I will handle it."
The following areas will be more deeply influenced by the power of the evil god, and the power of the five-ring warlock will be further compressed.
"I can accept your proposal, but you have to explain it."
The red-haired girl was still very rational. She bit her lip and pulled Shad's sleeve, as if direct contact with those golden light marks could soothe the pain in her heart.
"The situation below is even worse than above. With the power of the evil god present, how much strength can you still exert?"
Xia De shook his hands, his face very serious:
"I've been through more dangerous situations, and what I encountered today wasn't even as bad as what happened at Lakeview Manor."
"I see."
She whispered:
"You take the lead, but if you can't hold on, let me do it. I'll always be by your side."
