When Rust and Seika-0's group jumped from the pirate ship onto the Ghost Ship, Seiya had already begun to sense that something was off.
The Ghost Ship's monster-spawning mechanics seemed designed to deliberately guide players toward the Ghost Ship.
At first, seeing that Panshilgon had remained just as vigilant as he had, Seiya had felt relieved to have such a reliable teammate.
However, when he saw Panshilgon, the last one, board the Ghost Ship alongside Sukuwood, his mind instantly went numb.
Judging by the difficulty of Gravekeeper Vezavimon's Reversal Garden, this was the same kind of unique story. If the Ghost Ship truly was part of the story, how could they possibly have cleared it so easily?
Even if Panshilgon had stayed on the pirate ship, their side had more than enough people to wipe out all the Merman Zombies aboard the Ghost Ship.
But now that even Panshilgon had boarded the Ghost Ship, who knew whether that would trigger some new mechanic?
Seeing Seiya look as though he wanted to say something before finally sighing, Panshilgon spread her hands helplessly. "I understand your concerns, but that brat charged over here like a madman just now. I really didn't have time to stop him."
After hearing Panshilgon's explanation, Seiya froze for a moment before immediately realizing the crucial point. He suddenly shouted, "Damn it, protect Sukuwood, that brat, now!
If he gets killed, this quest will truly end in failure!"
Almost the instant Seiya's words fell, the Merman Zombies aboard the Ghost Ship seemed to receive some kind of signal at once. They all locked their aggro onto Sukuwood and swarmed toward him.
Sukuwood had already been putting on a brave front, but when he saw the mass of Merman Zombies rushing at him, he lost any courage to fight.
