Part 3 the traveler chapter 176 – fifty-five thousand pounds
”The Black Tulip …… Admiral Hell Ludwell …… This is a wolf in front and a tiger behind. …… Will this be too unlucky? Floating in mid-air, Klein was the first to notice the approaching ship, and couldn’t help but look down at Anderson, who was carrying a black short sword and carefully scrutinizing the monster.
Anderson glanced back quickly with a rather puzzled look, and while warding off the grayish-black lump of flesh that might catapult over at any moment, he opened his mouth and said:
”You have a strange look in your eyes, what happened again ……”
Before his words left his mouth, he had reflexively shut up, and then he realized something, and with a sideways leap catching a roll, he avoided the monster splinters that were making his nails grow fast, and flew to the other side of the ship’s side.
Straightening his back and stretching his neck, Anderson suddenly hissed:
”Admiral of Hell ……”
This was not a kind fellow, as a pirate general who was himself known for indiscriminate killing, he certainly did not have any psychological burden on using other people’s crises for his own benefit.
When he weighed the situation, found that he could use the attack of powerful monsters to kill the “star above the general”, to kill the “future” on all the people, harvesting a very rich booty, will certainly take action!
My bad luck hasn’t waned, it’s just taken a different form… zero deposit? Anderson’s expression was twisted, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
At the same time, the corresponding information appeared in Klein’s mind:
”Hell Admiral” Ludwig, the bounty for Rune alone amounted to 55,000 pounds!
He was an extremely powerful psychic, the highest bounty among the seven pirate generals!
There are not many pirates alive on his flagship, the Black Tulip, and most of the work is done by the undead and spirit creatures he drives.
He kills indiscriminately, but has no perverted taste for killing, and is only serious about completing his job of throwing living beings into hell.
He is inextricably linked to the Spirit Order and is rumored to possess a ring left behind by an ancient god of death!
While Klein and Anderson were gazing at the Black Tulip, the gold brooch on the robe of the “General above the Stars”, Gloria, began to blossom with pure, bright, but not blinding sunlight.
In front of the captain’s room, a figure appeared in a blur, quickly lengthening.
It was filled with a ghostly aura of death and tranquility, yet emitted a warm temperature like sunlight.
It was an unusually strange presence, like a ghost composed of the “holy water of the sun”!
It was both holy and evil!
This “Sun Grieving Spirit” opened its arms and flew out at an extremely exaggerated speed, embracing a grayish-black piece of flesh.
With a sound like grease being burned, Sohan Saek’s “Sun Grieving Soul” and the grayish-black piece of flesh canceled each other out and died out at the same time, leaving no trace of them.
”With deep violet eyes and a bright golden brooch, the General above the stars quickly created one Sun Spite Spirit after another outside the captain’s cabin window, making them pounce on the gray and black pieces of flesh that had invaded the Mirai. Gray and black meat blocks invaded the “Future”.
At this time, Heath Doyle, the “Bloodless”, protected Frank, Nina and the other sailors, and used the method of devouring and digesting to fight against the monstrous pieces of flesh with strong vitality.
”The Black Tulip was traveling faster than Klein had expected, and within seconds, it was within range of the Future.
The black and greenish sailboat slowed down and stopped at the edge, seemingly not quite sure what was going on here.
Suddenly, Klein saw the “Future” corresponding mid-air emergence of a nearly transparent eye, it has a bleak white pupil, is looking down, unblinking.
This …… psychic version of the telescope? After being stunned for a second, Klein pulled out the revolver in his right hand and aimed at the eye that belonged to a spirit world creature.
At this moment, he was a little hesitant, as a crazy adventurer Germaine Sparrow, direct fire is the most consistent with the persona of the most unproblematic choice, but at this time, “Admiral of Hell” Ludwig has not yet shown hostility, he may be afraid of “Admiral of the Stars”, the power behind Gadelia. He might be afraid of the power behind “General of the Stars” and keep restraint, if he kills his “telescope” rashly, the situation will inevitably move towards a more chaotic and dangerous development!
Klein’s brief hesitation, the nearly transparent illusory eye disappeared. In the distance, the “Black Tulip” continued to move forward, becoming clearer and clearer.
On top of it, white skeletons, either unclothed or clad in leather armor, were busy maneuvering the sails, pale corpses with long swords were patrolling back and forth, surveying the surroundings with eyes tinted with shadowy green flames, ghosts, spirits, and all sorts of strange spirit creatures were sometimes fluttering and hovering, and sometimes drilling into the ship’s hull, with not-so-clearly distinguishable transparent faces protruding from the side of the ship.
In Klein’s spiritual vision, there was only one living person on the “Black Tulip”, and that was the man dressed as the captain who stood on the foredeck quietly looking this way.
He wore an exaggerated three-cornered hat embroidered with a white skull and feathers, a lace-encrusted white shirt and an elaborate brown jacket, and a thin bayonet hanging from a cowhide-colored belt that secured his white leggings.
The man’s face was covered with a silver-white mask that hid his features and silhouette, and the cold lines around the holes that symbolized the position of the eyes, nose, and mouth were intimidating.
This matched the image of the rumored “Admiral of Hell” Ludwig!
Where are his first mate, second mate, third mate, and captains? Klein was first surprised that there was only one person alive on the Black Tulip, then quickly relieved.
Just like the “Future” sent the third mate, gunnery chief and many sailors to other ships of their own pirate group, keeping only a minimum number of people to enter this sea, “Hell Admiral” Ludwig did not let the “fragile” subordinates to follow. Hell Admiral Ludwig did not let his “fragile” subordinates follow, anyway, he can drive the undead and spirit world creatures to maneuver the ship.
At that moment, the “Black Tulip” turned around and dozens of guns on the starboard side were aimed at the ship.
As “Hell Admiral” Ludwig touched his silver-white mask, rumbling sounds came out one after another.
One after another, the shells flew in, or fell into the sea before getting close, blowing up a wave, or directly jumped over and fell to a farther place.
It was a calibrated shot!
Soon, the Black Tulip began its second round of shelling.
Klein was about to activate “Creeping Hunger”, using the “Corrupted Baron’s” “twisting” ability to make the cannonballs change their target and bombard farther away, when he saw Anderson Hood raised his right hand and pushed it forward.
An orange fire crow instantly coalesced and flew out in a circle, accurately intercepting each shell!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The mid-air flames were dazzling, and debris flew, like dozens of consecutive salvos had been released.
I have to say, “arsonist” ability in the sea is really quite useful, mysterious version of ballistic missile defense system …… However, this is also because Anderson is the “strongest hunter”, has already reached the level of sequence 5. But this is also because Anderson is the “strongest hunter”, has reached the level of the sequence 5, in the place of Daniz, certainly not be able to intercept one by one, can detonate half of it is considered to be his great …… Hey, when I use “manipulate the flames” ability, one can only deal with one at a time … … …As Klein sighed, the “Black Tulip” stopped shelling, and its speed increased again, shortening the distance between it and the “Future”.
As it approached, the surface of the sea dyed with golden sunlight between the two huge sailboats quickly turned black, so black that it did not look like ink, but like the deepest and deepest moonless and starless night.
In this deep, dark ocean, a translucent, half-illusory hideous creature crawled out, a pale corpse stretched out their palms with rotting strips of flesh, and a deep red or cold flame emerged, forming a pair of eyes one after another.
All of a sudden, it was as if this place had turned into the entrance to hell, and all kinds of undead creatures crowded to the surface, charging forward and backward like a tidal wave.
Anderson looked back at the “sun spirits” that were obliterating the gray and black pieces of flesh, knowing that the “Star General” was at a critical stage of dealing with that horrible monster, he could only hiss and look up to Gelman Sparrow in mid-air and smiled bitterly.
He was about to press his hands on the side of the ship to create red flames spreading outwards to stop the army of undead creatures from invading the ship, but he was shocked to see Germaine Sparrow turn around violently and fly back to the cabin.
Run, run away? It can’t be …… Anderson’s expression visibly froze for a moment.
He whirled around to reveal a grimace, and his body quickly leaned forward, poking out both palms and pressing on the ship s side.
Wordlessly, a crimson flame rose out of thin air and swept forward.
At that moment, a rune suddenly dropped in front of his eyes, while an ancient Hermetic word rang in his ears:
”Storm!”
Uh? Instinctively, Anderson looked up to see Germaine Sparrow in a polo shirt and brown jacket being swept by a gust of wind, hurtling toward the Black Tulip.
Is he, is he going to kill himself? I can’t understand this madness …… Anderson’s mouth was half open in confusion.
Woo!
With the effect of the spell, Klein flew into the sky in front of the “Black Tulip” with the favor of the wind.
”Admiral Ludwell then looked up at him, two pale flames burning quietly in the eye holes of his silver-white mask.
”The ghosts, ghosts and spirit creatures that hovered over the Black Tulip and those that favored the realm of death immediately swarmed into the air and rushed towards the enemy.
They either opened their mouths wide and let out silent screams, or spat out long, thin tongues inlaid with miniature human faces, looking extremely excited.
Klein looked at them with a blank face, his left palm went into his coat pocket and disarmed the “Spiritual Wall” of a square metal box.
Then, he took out the Aztec copper whistle tied with a few matches and threw it to the back deck of the Black Tulip.
All of a sudden, the transparent, cold, blurred ghosts stopped, like frozen worms.
Then, without hesitation, they turned their bodies around and flew to the back of the “Black Tulip” at great speed, followed by the strange-looking spirit creatures.
In less than a second, the skeletons and corpses that were maneuvering the ship and adjusting the cannons also betrayed the “Hell Admiral”, and the foredeck area was suddenly empty, leaving Ludwell alone.
Snap!
Klein pressed his hat and landed on the deck in front of Ludwig.
His body slightly arched, released his right hand, and his eyes locked on the silver masked “Hell Admiral”.
