Chapter 192: It’s You Who Led the Enemy Here

Low-level apostles were mostly humans who were then tainted by the demon race’s corrupt magical source, ultimately transforming into the same power source as the demon race, or even completely demonizing themselves.

On the other hand, high-level apostles were mostly originally from the demon race itself. Due to limitations in their own race, they chose to become higher-level beings with greater growth potential.

The power of the Twelve Apostles is also a part of the Demon King’s power.

The number and quality of apostles bestowed naturally depend on the demon race’s growth and magical power, which low-level demon races do not possess.

Do you remember the last encounter with demon races during the adventure practice? They used a special item to directly absorb the villagers’ life force to temporarily enhance their own power.

The apostles aiding him in setting up magic in various villages are the ones he has developed.

Once becoming apostles, they would no longer be humans. Gradually, their thoughts would be assimilated by the magic source, seeing themselves completely as part of the demon race.

The reason why the original characters Yuki and the evil youth did not become apostles is because they already had strong growth potential. The Phoenix bloodline would be contaminated after becoming apostles, so they have always remained as humans.

Going back to the point, apostles are also very dangerous to humans. When they appear in groups in one place, it means they are surely going to attack the humans in that area.

On this ship, including the crew and passengers, there should be around two thousand people on board. Being trapped at sea, asking for help would become difficult. One can imagine what kind of disaster they might face.

Just thinking about this made Rin anxious, he even started to fidget a bit.

This ghostly world is so strange now, irrelevant plots keep popping up out of nowhere.

This level of weirdness seems to be at the main storyline level, right?

Wouldn’t it make more sense for it to revolve around the male lead?

I’m just a villain, all I want is to quietly take a trip around the island, leisurely enjoying the journey.

Why does the boss keep giving me so many troubles lately? Is there something wrong with him?

Huh? Oh, right, it’s not my fault, it’s Waste Hero’s fault.

This guy is the main female lead! Even if she’s the main character, she still has some special protection, so it’s not normal for trouble to follow her wherever she goes, right?

Besides, the hero, Demon King, is the protagonist of the whole world… Adding a few main quests along the way is really no problem at all.

Oh no, I was too careless, I forgot about this issue!

It’s this girl who led the Imperial Army here!

Rin gave Emilia a somewhat fierce look, leaving Waste Hero confused, and she let out a meow sound in frustration.

Anyway, as long as the main character is around, whether male or female, there will always be small and big troubles in the future. Just have to adapt early and prepare emergency plans.

Yeah, no matter what, the most urgent thing now is to make a strong effort and directly eliminate all the apostles at once.

But this can’t be solved just by using force, because the situation onboard is unclear, and we don’t know how many apostles are still hiding, or if there might be demons.

If we act impulsively, they might react by doing something drastic out of desperation.

"Hey, little guy, what do you think we should do?" Sha Ye asked out loud.

These apostles are not from their faction, so whether they live or die is not her concern. Besides, their current mission is to protect Rin, so even if they have to eliminate all of them, it’s justifiable.

"Is there anything wrong with the captain?"

"High level, not sure, but their rank is an archer."

Waste Hero provided the information she could see, and Sha Ye confirmed that at least they are not apostles or demons.

After thinking it over, Rin realized that even if they were in a hurry, dealing with them wouldn’t be easy, "The ship has only been sailing for a day, and we are not far from another port along the current route. There are other cargo ships around on the same route. If I were an apostle, I wouldn’t choose to strike here."

At least three more days are needed until the route reaches the farthest Polis Sea area, which would be the best time to strike.

Today should be safe. Let’s check first. I will contact and try later. I have emergency contact paper here."

Sha Ye quickly said, "Don’t waste it. In the situation where the coordinates are constantly moving, there will be displacement in spatial transmission. I have a way to contact here."

While they were discussing here, the captain finished speaking, and there was a lively applause and discussion around.

Rin multitasked, but he did understand what the captain had just said.

Basically, during this time it is the breeding season of floating jellyfish. They float to the sea surface at night and all swim southeast.

The guests present were very lucky. Jellyfish living in this area have six breeding seasons each year. At fixed intervals, boats can always encounter drifting floating jellyfish face to face, and today is one of the fixed dates.

Floating jellyfish are famous for their brilliant colors. They are usually hard to see in the sea depths of several hundred meters. The breeding season is the best time to appreciate them.

However, when these jellyfish leave the sea, they will die in a short time. It is very difficult to raise them artificially, and with a lifespan of only a few months, hardly anyone keeps them as pets.

"So, you are here."

Up ahead, a familiar sailor with a few sailors squeezed through the crowd and waved to Rin, walking quickly towards him.

Rin remembered that this sailor was the middle-aged man who introduced them to the story of Annabel in the exhibition hall during the day.

Now he was wearing not the normal clothes from the day, but a formal uniform, looking at the badge, he was actually the chief of transaction of this cruise ship.

The chief of transaction was specifically in charge of managing the ship’s service staff, the kitchen, the doctor, and the crew’s service, with duties similar to that of a hotel manager, but not able to interfere with the ship’s navigation and internal structure.

"Is there something you need?" Rin asked bluntly.

The chief of transaction bowed to the three of them, showing a friendly smile, "I didn’t expect you to be esteemed guests on this cruise ship. My apologies. Captain Philip just asked me to specially invite you three to admire the floating jellyfish."

He smiled warmly, revealing a row of gleaming white teeth, "We have prepared the best seats especially for esteemed guests like you."

Rin glanced at Sha Ye and Emilia, the former looking indifferent, while the latter was following his lead.

"Then let’s go and have a look."

"Okay, come with me. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Connor, and I am the head of transactions on the Annabel ship. If you need anything, just call me."

"Hmm."

Led by the head of transactions, Rin and his two companions walked through the crowd and went straight to a section of empty beach chairs on the side.

There were already three people lying on the chairs, including an elderly couple and a tall, thin man with glasses.

Since they were all strangers and of different ages, they just nodded politely as a way of greeting each other.

Rin found a seat, picked up a glass of lemon water that was handed to him, took a sip, and relaxed on the chair, thinking about the apostles.

Meanwhile, a green-haired young girl moved gracefully through the crowd, finally happily greeting her sister in the corner.

"We really got a good haul today. Without the invention of storage space, we would have caught even more fish."

"Yeah, considering this giant cruise ship, besides us, not many people onboard are short of money."

The little sister leaned on the railing, looking a bit lost in thought.

"Hmm? Ella, why do you seem distracted? Did you forget to send the message today?"

"Well, the parrot has flown away… But I carefully observed the security forces on this ship, it’s still difficult to make a move."

"Oh, the boss is so cunning, we can always find another pirate ship to join."

"Hmm… I also feel like some members on this ship are a bit strange."

Sister Ella squinted her eyes slightly; "For example, some passengers and sailors have unusual movements."

Abby shrugged indifferently, leaning on the railing and counting the coins in her hand, "Are you being too sensitive?"

"Maybe, but we should still be cautious. By the way, have you seen that noble young man again, sister?"

Abby, who originally looked carefree, suddenly appeared uneasy, "That guy’s status should be in the VIP section…"

"Oh."

With a meaningful elongation, the little sister was about to say something, when suddenly the crowd started to make a commotion.

"Look, it’s floating jellyfish, so many of them! They’re here!"
