We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

"Is that a living person?"

"Or is it a monster that lives in this space?"

A rare emotion of uncertainty arose in Carles' head, which was composed of gears and levers.

Anyone who sees this scene in such a place where humans should hardly exist will probably have similar speculations.

"Could it be...the [Shadow without Appearance]?"

On the other side, Winston suddenly remembered the strange stories that were rampant in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] some time ago.

It sounds a little strange, but Winston has never fought against [Shadow of the Faceless].

It's not hard to understand why.

To him, the lives and lives of the vampires in [Blood Moon Secret Realm] are not that important.

In Winston's eyes, the lower vampires, like the humans who feed on blood, are inferior creatures.

Moreover, there is no benefit at all in dealing with a monster that has no blood and is difficult to destroy.

In fact, if Carles hadn't taken the initiative to break into his castle, Winston wouldn't even bother to pay attention to the steam knight.

At this moment.

Winston quickly connected the figure high up with the rumors of the [Faceless Shadow], and was secretly frightened.

"After being exiled for so many days, he is still alive and seems to have adapted to the environment here?"

"Could it be that... he is truly immortal?"

"And those roots, why do they look like this?"

Before this, Winston had always had some contempt for [Shadow of the Faceless], thinking that the opponent was just a second-level mystic.

The so-called "immortality" is just some kind of special secret technique.

But now, his mentality has undergone subtle changes.

"Old man, if I guess correctly, those... are the roots of the [Crimson Ancient Tree]?"

Suddenly, Carles asked.

Winston's expression changed slightly, but he remained silent and did not speak.

But silence itself is actually an answer.

Carles' face showed a sudden realization: "It turns out that this is the underground of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Then, beyond the sky, there is the secret sea."

He looked up at the figure above and said in an incredible tone.

"That guy is actually using the roots of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] to actively draw in the power of the secret sea?"

"He must be crazy!"

As a third-level mystic, Carles has undergone three promotion rituals and has a deeper understanding of the [Secret Sea].

Because of this, he understood better how crazy and dangerous it was to directly tap into the power of the secret sea.

The [Secret Sea] contains countless knowledge and mysteries.

It is also the source of power for many mystics.

However, [knowledge] itself is also fatally dangerous.

Especially those taboo and filthy [knowledge] will ruthlessly hunt down stupid seekers of knowledge.

A mortal's mind simply cannot accommodate that overwhelming amount of information, and his consciousness will be washed away into a blank sheet of paper in an instant, turning him into a madman who talks all day long, or a confused fool.

on the other hand.

There are also a large number of indescribable impurities in the [Secret Sea], and mere contact will cause severe mental pollution.

It may even cause the absorber to turn into a monster that cannot be controlled at all!

To put it simply, after the [Promotion Ritual], the power given by the [Secret Sea] to the Mystic Pathfinder is actually purified pure secret power.

But if he rashly absorbs it, he will only end up in an extremely miserable end.

"But, that guy seems... enjoying it?"

Carles and Winston looked at each other and fell into an eerie silence.

After a moment, Carles made a decision.

He decided to meet the figure high in the sky.

Since this is the underground of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], the key to getting out of trouble should be the roots of these [Crimson Ancient Trees].

But the figure at the top seems to have some ability to control the roots.

In addition, Carles had also heard the legend of [The Faceless Shadow] and knew that the opponent and the vampires were enemies.

If he hasn't gone crazy yet, he might be able to help him!

Even if you can't escape, it would still be great to kill this old guy!

Thinking of this, Carles did not hesitate. White steam enveloped his whole body, bursting out at an astonishing high speed, and rose up from the ground.

at the same time.

Winston made a similar move.

His purpose is exactly the opposite of Carles, he wants to destroy the [Shadow of the Faceless] before this Platinum Knight!

Even if it is only temporary, he cannot let these two people work together to deal with him.

boom!

Two figures, one red and one white, climbed quickly.

After realizing each other's intentions, they took action decisively and collided in mid-air again.

The aftermath of the battle between the two not only disturbed the blasphemous flesh and blood on the plain, but also caused the surrounding roots to become restless.

For self-protection purposes.

They began to surround them from all sides, wandering like snakes and attacking the two men.

If it were an ordinary tree root, the two third-level mystics would not take it seriously.

However, after absorbing so many years of flesh and blood and the power of the [Secret Sea], the roots of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] have long become an extraordinary thing.

Not only is it extremely hard, it is also quite resistant to the power of blood and steam.

When they came together with the flesh and blood monsters on the ground, both of them felt a sense of pressure.

Not to mention, their main enemies are each other at the same level!

Perhaps because of Winston's status as a vampire, the Roots' hatred towards him seems to be higher.

But the strange thing is...

Carles, who was previously stronger than Winston, fell behind in the climb and struggled a bit.

Winston thought he was showing weakness, allowing himself to let his guard down.

But soon, he discovered that Carles' strength seemed to have indeed become much weaker?

"Hahaha...I understand."

Winston looked enlightened and smiled wildly: "You gave a steam core to that boy from the [Blood Hunting Society], hoping that he would hold on until you return to the secret realm."

"After all, in addition to me, Quinna is also a third-level mystic."

"You really go to great lengths to protect your descendants!"

"However, you have become weaker because of this!"

"You are no match for me now."

In response, Carles just sneered: "In that case, why don't you dare to attack?"

"If you want to kill me, isn't now the best time?"

Hearing this, Winston's expression changed several times.

At this moment, he was indeed murderous.

But he couldn't guarantee that Carles really had no trump card for a comeback.

What if this is just a trap, a seduction...

As the saying goes, the longer you live, the more you fear death.

Therefore, Winston did not dare to take this risk and fight Carles to the end.

He still chose to follow the original plan and deal with the [Shadowless Shadow] at the top first.

…

…

In just a few dozen seconds.

Winston has experienced countless attacks.

The white gold knight's steam, the snake-like roots around him, the muddy flesh and blood emerging from the ground... all became resistance to his upward movement.

Such a high-intensity battle aggravated his already unrecovered injuries.

Looking extremely embarrassed.

But in the end, Winston climbed up to the place surrounded by many roots before Carles, and came to the strange throne.

"[Shadow of the Faceless]..."

Winston gasped and looked up at the throne.

At this distance, he still couldn't see the figure clearly.

The dark red roots squirm slightly.

A dark and profound atmosphere lingers.

Some kind of indescribable substance flows silently and quietly in the air.

Winston suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and at the same time took action boldly: "No matter what you are, die!"

next moment.

The man on the throne opened his eyes.

His eyes were a little blurry, but with a hint of sullenness.

Winston's eyes were involuntarily attracted to it.

Because, deep in those eyes, there are countless glowing lines and twinkling stars.

Just like the scene above the sky and deep in the secret sea.

There seemed to be a lot of unimaginable knowledge and mysteries contained in those hazy stars, which made him instinctively want to explore and pursue.

"No! That's not right..."

Winston's remaining sanity was horrified, and he suddenly issued a sharp warning.

"Don't look! Don't think! Don't absorb that knowledge!"

However, it was too late.

The moment he saw those eyes, the outcome was already decided!

The chaotic and huge knowledge began to proliferate and expand in his mind, and it instantly exceeded the threshold of rationality.

In other words...

Winston, crazy!

The alienation of the mind will also lead to physical distortion.

The next moment.

The skin of this man with bloody hair was cracked all over his body, his flesh and blood expanded at an incredible speed, and his pale bone spurs extended and mutated.

Immediately, faces of men and women emerged from his body one after another.

Their faces had expressions of malice, hatred, or fear, and they let out ear-piercing howls together.

Obviously, these faces come from people whose blood was drawn by Winston.

At this moment, they were resurrected in Winscher's body in another form!

…

…

"What's the noise?"

Xia En, who was sitting on the Throne of Roots, opened his eyes. After seeing the mutating piece of flesh in front of him, he couldn't help but be particularly confused.

"ah?"

"What happened? Where did this thing come from?"

No wonder Xia En was so confused.

He was originally just like yesterday, using the power of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] to sense the secret sea, and even vaguely touched the threshold of promotion.

Suddenly there was a strange movement below, as if someone was fighting.

He originally wanted to ignore it and focus on his practice.

Who would have thought that within a short while, a dangerous secret power suddenly came from in front of him, forcibly interrupting his state of sensing the secret sea.

As a result, when he opened his eyes, he saw a man mutating into an ugly piece of flesh.

In this situation, who would not be confused?

After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out.

Xia En simply stretched out his hand and touched the roots beside him. Through the flow of blood, some vague information was transmitted into his mind.

[They, bad...]

【We will protect you...】

Xia En smiled and said sincerely: "Thank you."

"But...them? Or there are others?"

Soon, Xia En looked at the roots not far away.

There, a figure wearing platinum armor happened to fly up and cast a surprised gaze.
