The vines of flesh and blood swelled inside Remington's body. The captain's pupils were constricted and his face was full of pain, but even so he did not make a sound.
Many people ran out of the cabin one after another. They were attracted by the movement of the ship being lifted up by giant flesh and blood hands. Among them are Princess Victoria, crew members and passengers, as well as Fu Qingyan and others.
Except for Victoria, everyone was shocked by the current situation of the ship and Captain Remington who was torn through flesh and blood vines and pierced through his body.
Most of these are ordinary people. Not to mention having seen battles between extraordinary beings, they have never heard of the concept of extraordinary beings. Now seeing this scene, they were naturally frightened and confused. Some timid passengers had collapsed on the ground and cried loudly.
"Quiet!"
Joseph roared without warning. The hoarse and sharp voice stirred up strong winds, tearing the sails and cables apart, and making everyone on the deck fall into silence.
"Okay Remington, Mr. Captain, since you are the loser. Then according to the previous agreement, I will crush these ants one by one before killing you. Thank you for my magnanimity!" Joseph shook his head and turned to laugh wildly. The flesh and blood on his face twitched and several whiskers stretched out.
If this guy is allowed to continue to go crazy, I'm afraid everyone on the ship will die. Players like her can be resurrected even if they die, but most other people are alive and dead.
Li Wen tugged on his cloak, gripped the dagger and prepared to fight. Remington was introduced by Selwyn. Maybe he has a way to contact the other party remotely. If you are smarter, you may have already done this when you determined that Joseph pretended to be a naval officer and boarded the ship.
So now we just need to try our best to delay the time. I am afraid that the only people on the ship who are still capable of fighting are her and Moria, and the lives of the people on this ship can only be left in their hands.
At this moment, Moria slowly stepped forward, the hem of the priest's robe motionless in the salty sea breeze. He calmly stared at Joseph among the wreckage of the mast, his eyes were deep and without waves, as if he could penetrate Joseph's eyes full of madness and cunning, and penetrate directly into the depths of his soul.
"Since you didn't attack anyone else on the ship right away," the young pastor's voice was as soft as discussing the weather, but enough to make people feel reassured, "I will give you a chance."
These words made Joseph stunned. He tilted his head and his bloodshot pupils turned wildly, as if he was still thinking about the meaning of Moria's words.
After a while, when the others didn't even dare to breathe loudly, Joseph looked at Moria, staring at the pastor.
"You mean, opportunity? Haha... haha!" Joseph laughed, his eyes full of disdain, "What chance can you damn Temple lackey give me? Are you trying to make me succumb to the power of the Temple? Idiots like you, who are full of doctrines, can only do this kind of thing."
Moria shook his head, his tone still calm. "I'm not asking you to surrender to me or bow to anyone. I'm just saying that if you can take my sword, I will let you go and let you go."
There was sudden silence on the deck. The muscles on Joseph's face twitched, and he suddenly burst out into a burst of crazy laughter: "Just because of you-" His laughter stopped suddenly, and his face twisted into a ferocious scowl, "I will pull out your bones one by one and make them into wind chimes! I will torture you to death, then make you into a flesh and blood puppet, and then drive you to slaughter those Radiance lackeys!"
Before he finished speaking, his expression strangely relaxed again, and he said with a smile as if he was a different person, "But... I have long wanted to learn about the ability of the Temple. It is said that you are the most loyal and powerful servants of Radiance, the so-called people closest to the light. Then come, let me see what Radiance's lackeys are capable of!"
At the end of the sentence, he almost gritted his teeth and said it with a ferocious roar.
Moria ignored the other party's crazy words, he just bent down and picked up the broken blade. Although Joseph's naval identity is fake, the weapon in his hand is indeed the standard Kingdom Navy officer's standard saber, forged by a highly accomplished dwarf blacksmith and enchanted by Archmage. It is both sharp, hard and durable. Even after a fierce battle between Joseph and Remington, apart from being deliberately broken by Remington, there were no other obvious signs of damage.
But that can only go so far, Moria thought.
The broken blade shimmered in his hand. The light was as soft as the morning sun at first, but in an instant it became dazzling. Li Wen had to squint her eyes. She saw that the light in the entire sea area was collapsing towards the cutting blade, and the shadows on the deck were distorting and deforming at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if the light of the entire world had been pulled away here.
"I will serve your glory on earth." He murmured softly.
The next moment, darkness enveloped the sea area, and only the broken blade in Moria's hand glowed with the extremely bright and pure Radiance.
Joseph's eyes suddenly widened and a smile solidified on his face. His scarlet pupils shrank violently, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the previous arrogance was gone. When Moria slowly raised the broken blade, the notorious pirate staggered back half a step, and the rotten wooden board groaned under his feet.
He will die... he will definitely die! Even if Roberts and all his men are here, there is absolutely no way they can withstand this attack!
"No..." Joseph's voice was filled with unprecedented trembling. He suddenly tore open his chest, thrust his bloody palms into his abdominal cavity, and tore out the Two-tailed Mermaid statue. The scales on the statue's surface glowed with a strange blue light under the strong light, and he used it as a shield to block it in front of him.
The broken blade fell.
There was no earth-shattering sound, no dazzling light and shadow. Li Wen only saw an extremely pure arc of light passing through the air, and Joseph's body suddenly split into two along the central axis. The shocked expression was still frozen on his face, but the statue in his hand had turned into falling blue powder, and was carried by the sea breeze and scattered among the waves.
The two halves of the body slid down slowly, and the cut was as smooth as a mirror. There was no blood spurting out, because all flesh and blood was evaporated the moment it came into contact with the light blade. It wasn't until the body hit the deck that everyone heard a long buzz that seemed to come from a very far away place, like some kind of eternal string sound that finally arrived at Mortal World.
Moria Released his fingers, the broken blade had evaporated in the extreme light and heat, and only the handle fell on the deck with a crisp sound.
The giant flesh-and-blood hand holding up the "Adventurer" began to slowly rot, and could no longer support the huge merchant ship. Amidst violent shaking and splashing waves, the ship touched the sea surface again. The waves were undulating, but everyone just felt at ease.
The flesh and blood vines that penetrated Remington also disappeared. The captain was covered in injuries, but fortunately they could not threaten the life of his Stage Four transcendent.
"He's dead?" The captain wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a little unbelievable.
Moria just shook his head slightly, "Already ran away." He looked far away and saw the Kingdom Navy warship in the distance. At this time, the warship had gradually shed its steel coat, revealing its rotten and decayed interior. The black skull flag fluttered in the strong wind, and then slowly disappeared into the thick fog.
"It's the warship of Roberts - 'Mist Devourer'. But I heard that it was sunk by Xide people thirty years ago and became an insignificant threat to the Endless Sea."
Captain Remington also saw the ship disappearing in the thick fog, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"They don't dare to stay here. I can only leave it to the captain to appease the others." Moria said, and then after receiving the reply of "no problem at all" from the other party, he turned back and walked towards the cabin.
Li Wen also quietly followed in. She knew that this young priest was affected by an unknown curse and was not allowed to use Radiance's various Divine Art and powers. Could it be that the curse had been lifted?
Before she could ask any questions, Moria fell backwards and was caught by her. The perfect timing almost made Li Wen think that the other party did it on purpose.
But when she looked at Firstborn of the Holy Temple, who was lying in her arms with a pale face and eyes closed, she could only sigh helplessly.
"Only a crazy and cowardly lunatic like Joseph Wilblood will be scared away by your bluff. If a guy who doesn't believe in evil gets on the ship, you will die."
