Leader of the Ark Raiders

Vulgtlagln...c'fhalma...

434. Facing the Nightmare

Shen Cangye heard the sound of the piano, carols and poems.

The voice seemed to come from far away, as if floating at the end of the world, solemn and sacred.

suddenly.

He felt a great pull pulling him down.

He fell suddenly and came to another scene.

It is the church in Saltwind City.

The auditorium was packed with darkness.

On the chairs, sat people in robes.

Can't see their faces clearly.

Suddenly, the torches placed throughout the church were lit, and the flickering light illuminated the interior of the building.

The flames of the torches were an unusually dark blue, dancing and flickering in the mist.

Firelight illuminates the auditorium.

Shen Cangye saw the faces of the audience clearly.

Scouts, Logos, Aces...

Kelsey, Amiya, Warfarin, Huang...

Operators of Rhodes Island.

They worshiped and chanted.

Ia! Ia! c'fhalma'vulgtmm!

Their pupils were dull and their skin was covered with sticky scales.

Their mouths were murmuring in an unintelligible language.

Vugtlagln vulgtmm! Ai! Shub-Nigurath!

Shen Cangye looked out of the church.

The full moon outside the window becomes a giant eyeball.

Then, sea water gushes out from the eyeball.

The sky became the ocean.

Huge tentacles protrude from the ocean above the sky.

Shen Cangye turned his sights to the front of the church, the object of worship of all——

A beautiful woman in a red dress, playing a lyre in her hand, is singing loudly.

She has a warm smile, long silver hair like satin, and red eyes that are too deep to see the bottom.

The blood vessels stagnate, the silent brain hums, and the lungs compress and exchange fiery air.

"Come here, be my blood, join my family..."

she says.

"You are the last lost lamb, become my compatriots, and sing of His return together..."

The Agor girl held out her hand to him.

"Come to my side..."

"Quintus, are you a transvestite? You like to dress up as a woman?" Shen Cangye said coldly, "Don't show me the appearance of someone I know! It's disgusting——"

He said, waving his hand.

The long knife pierced through the air with a blazing fire, cutting the dream into pieces.

Everything in front of him was like a mirror, all shattered.

The surrounding light dimmed, and they fell into an endless state of falling.

"Old Shen!"

An exclamation sounded in his ears, and Shen Cangye turned his head to look.

The man who called him was Ghost Shark.

And beside him, there are Gloria and Skadi who are also in a falling state.

Gloria held the long lance in her hand, and looked around vigilantly with her eyes.

And Skadi was still a little dazed, as if he hadn't fully woken up from the nightmare.

"You all entered a dream?" Shen Cangye said.

"The captain and I went out to investigate the situation last night, and it turned out—" Ghost Shark clenched his circular saw tightly, "That dreamer—tsk! He locked me in that small jar, I must kill him He can't!"

Suddenly, their feet were solid and landed on the ground.

"Heh... It's a little bit capable to break my dream."

A low chuckle sounded in the darkness.

"But that's just delaying your death by a few minutes."

Huge tentacles rolled over, like swift spears, attacking the four intruders who had just stood firm.

— Quintus.

Shen Cangye realized that the huge tentacles in front of him belonged to the former bishop of Yanfeng City.

He no longer exists in human form.

He abandoned who he once was.

With the limbs of jellyfish, he completed the evolution - what he thought of as evolution.

Three humanoids fell from the thick tentacles.

Then, their bodies bulged and twisted, their hands turned into claws and sickles for attacking, and their feet turned into wriggling tentacles.

Their skin cracked, hard scales billowed out, and their bodies elevated into monstrous, profane, disgusting monsters.

Gloria first exclaimed.

Then, her chest was filled with anger.

That was her hunter, Agor's deep-sea hunter.

They were transformed by Quintus and made into weapons of war that belonged only to him.

"Captain!" cried the Ghost Shark, "they—they are, our comrades! We—"

"Let them rest in peace." Gloria waved her long spear and rushed up, "—Orca, are you okay? Can you still fight?"

"I can! I won't... run away!" Scati gritted her teeth, raised her sword and followed Gloria.

Three deep sea hunters collided with three monsters who were once deep sea hunters.

With tears in their eyes, they tried their best and used the most superb fighting skills to understand the pain of their comrades as quickly as possible.

"The touching meeting of sisters, hehe... But it's all in vain, it's all in vain!"

Quintus's deep guttural voice sounded again in the darkness.

"Stupid Agor, you have never thought about developing the real usefulness of deep-sea hunters; stupid Haizi, they have never thought about it, only outstanding people deserve to enjoy evolution!"

435. Drinking Sword

Eyes adjusted to the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Cangye saw Quintus' distorted body clearly.

Quintus's body is like a huge, spindle-shaped cylinder, at the bottom of his body, there are starfish-like appendages, similar to shellfish's axefoot.

Countless tentacles stick out from the top of the cylinder.

On each tentacle, there is a huge hook claw, just like a crab's claw.

All that remained of his head—or what had been his head—was a large, erect, toothy mouth from which now and then gushed foul-smelling mucus.

Shen Cangye didn't even know where he made the sound.

Quintus laughed wildly and made a contemptuous nasal voice, "It's a pity...it's a pity! You came too late! I have already completed the evolution, and this is the supreme evolution!"

He roared, ecstatically.

"I am the incarnation of the sea! I represent the grace and majesty of the sea!"

His body swelled, and the rock wall suddenly shattered under the waving of its long beard.

"I am the devil in the nightmare, the body of the nightmare... you evil seed of Lu Sheng, kneel before my true face, and tremble!"

suddenly.

Shen Cangye raised the saber, and slashed down from top to bottom.

"Goodbye." He silently withdrew the knife.

The red knife flashed.

Quintus' huge and ugly body was split in two from the middle, and the cut surface was as smooth as a mirror.

"How come, you—" An angry roar echoed in every corner of the dark space, "Scumbag, you dare to touch my noble—impossible—"

In the next second, the flames rolled away.

The waning moon-like underworld space opened behind Quintus, engulfing him in it.

The bishop who evolved into a demigod only existed for about half a minute...

"I wasted so much time..." Shen Cangye scratched his head, "I knew that I would have come to Yanfeng City and hacked you to death when I entered the fantasy realm at the beginning."

He turned back to look at the three deep sea hunters.

They sent their former comrades-in-arms home.

Gloria set fire to their twisted bodies.

"Farewell, my hunters," she said softly.

The surrounding scenes changed again, from a dark alien space to a damp underground cave.

"You—you actually gave Quintus to...God, that's evolution into a god—!"

Unbelievable words came from behind.

The three deep-sea people subconsciously raised their weapons, and Shen Cangye gestured for them not to be nervous.

"An Likui." Shen Cangye looked at the distorted figure that was once an Iberian judge.

The Grand Inquisitor stood where he was and took several deep breaths before calming down.

"Quintus is dead, and its restraint on me is gone, and I can finally walk out of that damned room." Enrique looked up at the dome of the cave, "Don't worry, I've brought you back to the real world , this is an underground cave located under the church in Iberian Saltwind City, you can leave here along the steps over there."

He clenched his fists and said, "When you leave, can you please hand over my investigation notes to Ai Lini?"

"What about you?" Shen Cangye asked.

An Likui sighed, "I no longer have the face to live as an Iberian judge, and there is no need for my broken body to survive."

"You—" Shen Cangye was also unable to say words of comfort.

The haggard judge slowly drew out his rapier and threw it at his feet.

There was only relief in An Likui's eyes, "I have been in pain for too long... Now is the time for me to be relieved. Anyway, thank you, strangers."

After finishing speaking, he stepped on the hilt of the sword with his right foot, closed his feet together, and the blade of the stabbing sword stood in the air.

The judge held on to the blade of the rapier, and his body suddenly fell down. The pitch-black rapier pierced into his chest soundlessly, pierced through, and came out from behind without a sound.

He fell down, and the half of Hai Si's body quickly shrank into dry muscle tissue.
