The weather was fine, and the warships sailed on without encountering any storms.
A gentle breeze was blowing, and a bright, dark moon hung in the sky, casting endless, cool light. The water shimmered, and the temperature dropped considerably. Unidentified sea fish suddenly leaped out of the water, and birds chirped, their white wings flashing like lightning across the dark night. The sea breeze was warm, moist, and extremely pleasant.
Upon seeing Sun Fei emerge, Torres, the attendant who was practicing archery on the distant deck, immediately came over and gave a detailed report of what had happened during the day.
Since the sailors operating the warship were all captured Lyon, and the guide was the great prisoner Lloris, necessary precautions could not be neglected. After Sun Fei went into seclusion, all matters on the ship were handled by the great master Torres, assisted by nine college students, while another personal guard Heskey, was in charge of the ship's kitchen, food, and cooks.
This was the first day at sea. His Majesty the King ordered that the warships not activate their magical power systems, so their speed was relatively slow. Apart from encountering a few merchant ships along the way, fortunately, no accidents occurred.
The prisoners of Lyon were very obedient, and King of Buckingham Lloris seemed to have abandoned his previous non-violent non-cooperation stance, obediently directing the fleet forward. With this naval commander leading the way, the voyage was incredibly smooth.
That evening, Sun Fei and his students enjoyed an open-air barbecue dinner of seafood on the deck.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
The next morning, the weather remained clear and sunny, with not a cloud in the sky, a deep blue that was refreshing and invigorating. There was no sign of wind. The warship, named [ Light ], finally activated its magical transmission power system and began to accelerate its voyage at sea.
Aside from instructing the students in martial arts training in the morning, Sun Fei basically locked himself in the cabin all day.
In the world of Diablo, Sun Fei received the fourth and fifth quests from the Act II map [ Lut Gholein ]: [ Arcane Sanctuary ] and [ The Summoner ].
The King of Lut Gholein misused a treacherous minister, leading to the fall of his palace. His warriors could only defend the city on the surface. Sun Fei's mission was to enter the Arcane Sanctuary deep within the palace, eliminate the monsters inside, defeat the Summon Master Summon the monsters, and obtain a book called the Horazon's Journal, which contained the secret to defeating the demon king of Hell.
Sun Fei had been to this place many times in the first two difficulty levels, but he still dared not be careless and proceeded cautiously.
[ The Arcane Sanctuary ] is like a labyrinth built in the endless void of the universe, a map with a very fantastical feel. The intricate corridors and passages float in the dark void, winding and twisting, with passages in all directions. The white stone paths and the dark night sky create a stark visual contrast. The howls of demons further accentuate the silence of this strange world. They rush in from the corridors, and even fly in from the void, infiltrating everywhere, in astonishing numbers.
The labyrinthine terrain, coupled with the endless stream of demons and monsters, slowed His King's progress.
Sun Fei and Elena spent an entire game time limit but still couldn't completely eliminate the monsters in [ Arcane Sanctuary ]. When they exited the game world, they had only just leveled up and explored about a third of the area.
Another day has passed.
Propelled by the magical power system, the [ Light ] sailed at least tens of thousands of kilometers on the vast ocean.
It was another peaceful day. The prisoners of war in Lyon were very compliant and showed no Resist whatsoever. They seemed eager to return to their empire and worked very hard to maneuver the warship. The [ Light ] encountered no trouble from the very beginning.
As night falls, the moon shines brightly, turning the world into a silvery expanse, with shimmering waves resembling pieces of broken silver scattered across the sea.
Sun Fei stood on the bow deck, gazing into the distance, pondering his plan to wage war within the Lyon Empire. Just then, several thousand meters away, on the distant sea, the ripples broke, and a dozen enormous black shadows silently appeared, their pupils radiating a ghostly blue light as they watched him. Then, they vanished in a flash into the vast ocean.
Water beast?
Warcraft?
Sun Fei's heart skipped a beat. The Barbarian's keen sixth sense allowed His Majesty the King to perceive the eerie atmosphere lurking beneath the calm surface. The voyage over the past two days had been very smooth, but hidden within this excessive smoothness was a subtle, barely perceptible restlessness. Something was bound to happen on this voyage.
Those strange sea creatures never appeared again throughout the night.
As dawn broke, Sun Fei returned to his cabin from the deck and entered the Diablo World to continue killing monsters and leveling up, hoping to further enhance his strength and increase his certainty when he entered the Lyon Empire.
Eight hours later.
The level of [ Barbarian Mode ] has increased by one level, reaching level 24, Valkyrie Elena has reached level 15.
The [ Arcane Sanctuary ] had been almost completely explored by the two, leaving less than a tenth of the area remaining. From a distance, they could already feel the waves of mysterious Summon energy fluctuations, the power of the evil Summon Master had almost turned the entire city of [ Lut Gholein ] into Hell and a Paradise for demons.
Sun Fei sensed that the evil Summon Master's strength was at least at the Lower Tier of the Rising Sun Stage within the Great Sun-Rank Venerable realm, which was a notch above his current strength and would be difficult to deal with. In addition, the game time limit for today had been reached, so Sun Fei thought about it and decided to schedule the time to kill the evil Summon Master for the next time.
Having left the Diablo World, Sun Fei prepared to go up to the deck for some fresh air. However, as soon as he stepped out of the cabin, he heard a commotion of shouts and screams outside. The screams of the prisoners of Lyon were ear-piercing, and then the entire sound system suddenly vibrated violently, as if it had hit a reef.
Sun Fei's expression changed, a flash of golden light appeared, and in the next instant, he was already on the deck.
"A sea monster! A deep-sea behemoth! Damn it, we've encountered a terrifying deep-sea behemoth!"
On the deck, a naked, muscular Lyon prisoner of war screamed in panic, his face pale, and scrambled and rolled as he tried to escape to the mast. But after only a few steps, a huge, soft, scarlet tentacle with a diameter of more than a meter suddenly grabbed him from the waves beside the ship and swept him into the sea!
"No... Ah, help, help me!" the sailor screamed in despair.
The other sailors were terrified. Soft, octopus-like tentacles kept reaching out from the ship's sides, whipping around wildly. Several more were swept into the air. Chaos reigned on the deck; everyone was in danger and scrambling to escape, paying no attention to him.
First update.
