"Is it possible that infusing holy light into metal weapons won't work? Abbott, try this Wooden Hammer Wooden Hammer. Just infuse it with holy light..."

Roy stepped out of the room, looked at the dagger in Abbott's hand, and said with a puzzled expression.

After saying that, he handed the Wooden Hammer in his hand to Abbott.

He then picked up Abbott's dagger and tried to infuse it with holy light.

As he experimented, he explained, "I just directly injected the holy light from my body into the weapon; I didn't use any other special methods..."

To Roy's surprise, when he channeled the Holy Light Power into the dagger, the holy light was also contained within the dagger, and the blade of the dagger could also emit a soft glow.

Abbott tried to channel holy light into the Wooden Hammer Wooden Hammer, but the Holy Light Power he poured into it dissipated even faster...

Abbott said with a bitter face:

"They dissipate so quickly; once these holy lights leave my body, I can't control them anymore..."

Roy realized that High Priest Reed had never instructed Jasper and Abbott to infuse the Holy Water Pool with Holy Light Power, and now he understood why.

"When we get back to the temple, we'll ask High Priest Reed what exactly happened," Roy said.

Abbott suddenly thought of something and nudged Roy, saying, "Then... in that case... Roy, do you not need to learn ' Purification Art '? Can't you just purify the undead by injecting holy light into your weapon?"

Roy took the Wooden Hammer from Abbott and shook his head, saying, "It might not work. My hammer can probably only deal with these weak undead. Even if I don't deal with them, they probably won't last long. But the Purification Art is different; it can deal with more powerful undead."

Upon hearing Roy mention this, Abbott tapped his forehead before saying to Roy, "By the way, Roy, Jasper and I discovered a very powerful ghost on this ship the day before yesterday."

"Jasper said it's very strong, and told me not to provoke it for now, but to deal with it after our Holy Light Power has fully recovered!"

"Jasper used Purification Art on it, which defeated it, but it inexplicably revived the next day. The Purification Art seems to have no effect on it..."

"However, it seems to be sealed by something, trapped in the Torture Chamber and unable to get out."

The two walked down the corridor, and Roy saw the door to the Oar Room on the left.

When he and Jasper were taken to the Oar Room by the second mate, they saw a large number of dead souls in the room, and the souls inside were all very weak. Roy infused the hammer with holy light and reached out to push open the wooden door.

Bathed in the Divine Light, a wandering spirit in the room sensed Roy's life force and immediately opened its arms, rushing towards the door.

Roy raised the Wooden Hammer Wooden Hammer, which radiated holy light, and brought it down, striking the undead man squarely on the head.

Under the holy light, the dim, almost transparent spirit instantly shattered and burned.

Before the few Soul Ash could even fall to the ground, they were absorbed by the invisible tentacles of the Holy Light Seed within Roy's body.

The lost spirit transformed into a wisp of soul and vanished from the ceiling...

There were at least forty or fifty lost souls wandering around in the Oar Room. They must have sensed the danger, because they became restless instantly.

It's probably because so many people died in this room that so many souls have gathered here.

Since they could be shattered with a hammer imbued with holy light, Roy decided to thoroughly clean up the room on this floor.

Abbott assisted Roy from the side, casting a ' Glimmer Illumination Spell, holding a ball of Divine Light in his palm as he observed the wandering spirits around the room...

These weak undead souls don't actually pose much of a threat to other creatures.

They usually wander around the room in spirit form. When these weak spirits attack the sailors, the biggest feeling is like a cold wind blowing in their face, making them shiver.

If you encounter a stronger one, it will weaken your body, and in more serious cases, it may cause a serious illness.

The resentment accumulated by the sailors and slaves after their deaths obscured their souls, preventing them from ascending to the Priest or entering the underworld...

Under the Divine Light, the spirits in the room revealed their true forms. Roy, of course, had no intention of letting them go, and specifically targeted those spirits Soul Fire was particularly weak.

As Roy cleared away the lost souls one by one, the Holy Light Power on Roy's body gradually weakened.

Just as he approached a Oar Room where oars were stored, a ghost hidden in the ditch, seemingly avoiding the Divine Light, suddenly lunged at Roy ...

By the time Roy noticed, it had already pounced on Roy.

It originally intended to possess Roy and control Roy body, but was violently repelled by the holy light emanating from Roy.

Roy felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest by a sledgehammer, and he collapsed to the ground.

Abbott saw the powerful spirit in the Divine Light and quickly stood behind Roy, chanting a prayer. Then, the divine runes transformed into a beam of holy light that passed through the ship and fell from above.

It covered the dead soul that was about to pounce again.

At this moment, Roy could see clearly that the Soul Fire in the eyes of this dead soul was burning fiercely. In the holy beam of light, its spirit was constantly being purified by the holy light and gradually dissipated in the pillar of light. It let out a shrill scream and struggled desperately in the light speed.

Seeing that the souls were about to break through the purifying pillar of light, Roy quickly got up from the ground, grabbed Wooden Hammer, and rushed forward, swinging the Wooden Hammer repeatedly at the souls trapped in the pillar of light...

With each strike, the spirit would dim a little.

Until the spirit of the dead was smashed to pieces by Roy, a shrill scream made Roy dizzy.

A Naga Warrior's soul burst forth from the body of the dead, then rushed out of the Black Pearl and disappeared.

Several visibly glowing Soul Ash drifted to the ground, and the invisible tentacles, after absorbing these Soul Ash, immediately grew a little thicker.

After purifying this wandering soul, Roy and Abbott purified several more weak wandering souls in succession, finally reaching the end of the Oar Room.

Roy rested against a small window in the Oar Room. The seat was still intact, but there were several arrow holes in the window, and Roy even saw a broken arrowhead deeply embedded in the window frame.

He turned and asked, "Abbott, when you and Jasper came to investigate this area last time, didn't you find this ghost?"

Abbott replied sheepishly, "Who would have thought there would still be ghosts hiding in the trench..."

After resting for a while, Roy decided to go to the Torture Chamber Torture Chamber in front to check on the evil spirit, as Abbott had told him that the creature was trapped inside and couldn't get out.

At the end of the Oar Room was the Torture Chamber, from which a separate staircase led to the Bottom Cabin.

The two corridors converge here. The wooden door of the Torture Chamber is open. Abbott and Roy stand at the door of the Torture Chamber, holding up a ball of Divine Light and shining it into the Torture Chamber.

Sure enough, a ghost appeared in the Torture Chamber under the holy light. It roamed around the Torture Chamber, completely unaware of the two people at the door.

Roy tried to get closer, but Abbott grabbed him.

"Careful..."

At this moment, Roy's left foot had already stepped into Torture Chamber Torture Chamber immediately noticed Roy's foot. It didn't even rush at him, but instead raised its arm, and a pale blue vortex appeared around its body. Roy felt as if something was tightly gripping his leg, and he was being pulled into the door by a tremendous force...

He was startled and immediately pulled his foot back.

The ghost in the Torture Chamber also opened its mouth wide in a mournful cry and lunged towards the door.

The raised bone claw clearly bore scorch marks from the holy light, obviously from when it grabbed Roy's leg and was burned by the holy light...

Roy and Abbott were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly. The vengeful spirit actually rushed to the doorway and crashed directly into a transparent barrier, whereupon it was bounced back.

The ghost bared its fangs and claws as it rampaged through the Torture Chamber, but dared not attack the Torture Chamber door again.

Only then did Roy notice that the two Soul Fire in the ghost's eye sockets were not only blazing fiercely, but also flickering with its emotions, clearly indicating that it was a ghost that had developed sentience.

"How can this ghost be so powerful?" Roy asked Abbott in a low voice.

"I guess it must have devoured some of the souls in the Oar Room to become like this." This was the second time Abbott had seen the ghost, but he still said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, it was sealed in this Torture Chamber, otherwise it would be the owner of this ship."

The two did not linger outside the Torture Chamber, but returned along the same route, without going to the Oar Room on the right.

Reaching the top of the stairs, Abbott glanced at the dark Bottom Cabin and urged Roy, "Should we go down and take a look?"

Roy also wanted to see the Water Dungeon where he had been imprisoned, but a hole had been drilled in the hull of the ship, and Jasper had cleaned the Bottom Cabin, so he said:

"I wonder if the silt in the Bottom Cabin has dried completely..."

"The seawater has been completely drained, and a lot of the silt at the bottom of the hold has been cleared away with the seawater," Abbott told Roy.

The two continued down, with Abbott leading the way and Roy following behind, holding the Divine Light. They did not encounter any ghosts along the way.

Walking down the stairs into the corridor of the Bottom Cabin, there was indeed no more water, but the Bottom Cabin was pitch black and the air was still filled with the fishy, salty smell of mud.

It's estimated that this area will need to be thoroughly washed with clean water several times before the Bottom Cabin can be cleaned.

The corridor in the Bottom Cabin left a deep impression on Roy; he and the Naga assassin had hidden in the stinking seawater in the corridor to avoid the crew member's sight.

Ahead lies the Naga mermaid's cell; the hatch is broken and leans against the wall.

Although there was no silted-up seawater inside, it was still very muddy. This Bottom Cabin was about twenty meters long and seven or eight meters wide, with the door located in the middle of the ship, leading all the way to the very front...
