Rout

Devil possess a natural premonition of danger; it's an innate talent that allows them to sense the source and intensity of danger. Therefore, the moment Luther harbored murderous intent, he had already sensed it.

Moreover, the Ships beneath the [Blood Bishop's ] feet exuded a strong Spirituality; it was practically an Angel being!

Devil are always realistic and ruthless. Seeing that they were no match for the enemy, the massive "Death Announcer" immediately turned around and headed deeper into the island, perhaps hoping to use the power of the "Abomination" to evade attacks targeting it.

However, its escape attempt failed.

"Splash..."

The seawater surged and rushed past beneath the Single-Masted Sailing Ship, which was moving at an astonishing speed. Yet, even at this speed, the "Death Announcer" could not get any closer to the island; the mere tens of meters seemed unimaginably distant, like some unattainable illusion.

There's no doubt that this distance has been "messed up"!

As Antiya spread her beautiful five fingers, the rules of space were arbitrarily altered.

Trying to run away?

Behind it, the "Black Throne" had already caught up with the "Doe". Luther stood at the bow, his blood-red robe billowing in the sea breeze.

The positions of hunter and prey are instantly reversed.

"Hahahahahahaha!"

A high-pitched, shrill laugh immediately erupted from the "Death Announcer." This laugh was unprecedentedly intense, filled with extreme madness and a terrifying demonic quality, capable of easily arousing and stirring up all the desires in people's hearts.

"Great Death Announcer," I will dedicate my loyalty to you!

Amidst the filthy, Filth laughter, the "King of Immortality" commanded all the pirates Single-Masted Sailing Ship, brandishing his weapons. Many of their bodies began to Distortion, exhibiting Devil Transformation tendencies, sprouting bat wings or black goat horns from their heads.

Just as Luther had seen in the "Spirit Channeling," these pirates were not loyal to the "King of Immortality" Agalito, but rather to the black Flagship beneath their feet!

"Sizzle..."

The entire ship was ablaze with a dense, eerie blue phosphorescent flame, making the "Death Announcer" look like hell. The Distortion and deformed Sailor were like Demon crawling out of hell, displaying their malice and launching an attack. Those with wings spread their wings and flew across the sea to swoop down on the two ships, while those without wings Arson, bombarding them with one burning blue flame after another.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, they immediately launched a counterattack!

"Distortion!"

A woman with black hair and a black dress appeared at the bow of the ship. She issued a command with an air of authority, and the rules of the world were altered accordingly. The terrifying Word-Eating from the Abyss were instantly changed, becoming faint and indistinct by the time they reached the ears of the crowd, almost inaudible.

Meanwhile, Luther was also taking action.

He pulled a card from his pocket, on which was depicted Roselle, dressed in priestly attire, driving the Chariot.

The Card of Blasphemy, "Red Priest"!

"Puff!"

Luther grabbed the card, turned it around, and plunged it deep into his chest. As blood splattered, his aura surged. A red phantom emerged from his body, young, violent, and brimming with the Pride to destroy everything and bring about the Apocalypse of the world.

"Splash..."

At the same time, a vivid, blood-red color spread across the sea below the Black Throne, immediately encircling the nearby "Doe.

Luther's Sailor were immediately encouraged, their initial joy at Luther's return transforming into Courage, and they showed no fear even when facing the swooping Devil!

"Listen up, everyone! Support the captain!"

A surge of emotion welled up within Sailor Walter; the fear of death had long since vanished, replaced by a burning desire for glory and victory. He felt a strange connection, as if everyone on board had become one with him, facing the enemy they had once dreaded together.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Both sides fired simultaneously, and the first round of fighting began with an exchange of artillery fire.

The shells fired by the "Death Announcer" were all eerie blue flames, Curse entities with immense destructive power; while the shells fired by the "Doe" were ordinary projectiles, which gradually weakened in power as they traveled the distance.

But Antiya's existence changed everything.

The trajectory of the eerie blue flames, enough to set the entire "Doe" ablaze, was Distortion, turning away before even grazing the Ships and falling into the sea; while the ordinary projectiles that were launched accelerated continuously during their flight, accumulating terrifying power and exploding one after another on the hull of the "Death Announcer"!

At the same time, the Devil Transformation pirates had already landed on the ship and engaged in boarding action with Luther's Sailor.

Blades flashed, and screams of agony filled the air. These pirates, worthy of being subordinates of the king of the sea, possessed exceptional combat skills, often capable of single-handedly cutting down several Sailor. But a strange thing happened: after falling to the ground, the Sailor would rise again within seconds and continue fighting as if nothing had happened.

Using the Hunter Pathway ability, Luther, as the leader, absorbed the damage from his "team" members!

A wounded Devil encountering immortal Sailor —even with the former's exceptional combat skills, the outcome is predictable. They are surrounded by the surging Sailor and killed one by one amidst their desperate screams.

"Hahahaha!"

The exploding bullets tore apart the bodies of the surrounding pirates and also severely damaged the Death Announcer's deck. It let out a series of rapid laughs, as if it were crying out in pain after being hit.

The first wave of artillery fire and boarding action ended in a complete victory for Luther Zefang.

But the battle has only just begun.

Beneath Luther's feet, a dark shadow surged and spread, quickly covering his entire body and transforming into a massive suit of armor, turning him into a small Giant nearly two meters tall.

"Keep driving."

Red Light flashed from the eye sockets of his helmet as he spoke to Antiya.

"Good."

The latter observed his current attire with great interest, while maneuvering the "Black Throne" to continue its approach to the "Death Announcer".

Looking at the huge black sailboat in front of him, Luther raised the black Greatsword in his hand high.

A heavy, deep, and dark aura gathered on the blade.

"Enlarge."

Beside him, Antiya wrapped her arms around his and whispered a blessing. At that moment, Luther's aura surged even higher, and his Blade of Flesh and Spirit became incredibly sharp, capable of slicing anything in two!

Angel level of "magnification"!

"Boom!"

He unleashed a devastating Slash at the "Death Announcer".
