Chapter 240: Hunger

"Do you know these things?" Celica furrowed her brows.

"I saw them in the last era," Merlin nodded seriously. "Although I don’t know why monsters from the Forbidden Sea have appeared, it seems we have gotten ourselves into something very serious."

One could only say that living a long time is impressive.

Merlin’s knowledge is not something an ordinary person can compare to.

Knowledge is Merlin’s greatest weapon.

"To create such a commotion without us knowing, it can’t be a small matter," Celica said in a deep voice. "What should we do now?"

She didn’t act right away because she was afraid of accidentally harming the two little girls.

The scene before her was too strange; if she were a wizard who specialized in this, she might know what to do, but she wasn’t.

"I will set up a magic circle to dispel these things," Merlin said. "You need to find the source and destroy it! Otherwise…"

"What do you mean?" Celica looked at Merlin.

"Huff… Do you know what the appearance of this monster means?" Merlin let out a breath. "It means we have entered the domain of a certain deity…"

"A deity?" Celica’s eyes widened.

"Yes, this is the deity’s pet." Merlin nodded slightly. "It… seems to want to use these two children to bring its deity back to life."

"A fallen deity…" Celica murmured. "I can’t believe we are getting involved with this…"

"Don’t think just because the deity has fallen that it isn’t powerful. A deity is still a deity," Merlin added quickly, worried Celica might be scared. "But don’t think it is extremely strong; it relies on the mystery of the deity, not on strength beyond our understanding. Otherwise, this ship would have been swallowed whole."

"Besides this monster, we must also be careful of the deity’s other powers. There is a deity’s pet here, and there should be other things with it."

"Of course, it would be best if this monster accidentally got affected by something and left the deity’s domain. Just dealing with it alone would be much easier for the two of us."

"Damn it, those two little girls are so strange! How could I agree to that bastard Osiris to go to the Pande Empire? If I had checked in the Kingdom of Persia and set up some barriers, how could this have happened?" Celica ground her teeth.

It is clear that she is a bit wishful thinking.

In true history, it was Celica who discovered that there were big problems with the Kingdom of Persia’s church, which is why she took Sophia to the Pande Empire, and Null and 『』 were also on the ship with Celica at that time.

……

Russell was startled when he saw the tentacles suddenly appear around the ship.

What is going on? A monster so powerful appears, and there is no warning on the ship, and he himself feels nothing.

Luckily, the crew’s Exorcist Bullet is effective, and many thick tentacles are being pushed back by the Exorcist Bullet.

But the number of tentacles is increasing; there must be hundreds of them, and it is clear the crew is struggling.

"Are you sure you don’t need my help?" Karoso asked.

"This is at least an eighth-tier monster; what help can you provide? Hurry back to the cabin!" Russell frowned and said, "If you brought any skilled bodyguards, just call them out. They must be seventh-tier or above to help."

"I didn’t bring it," Karoso shook his head.

"Then watch me solve it!"

Russell held a long sword and threw a card.

[Name: Extreme Ghost Sword Technique (Storm Style)]

[Category: Spell]

[Star Level: 8]

[Grade: Golden Legend]

[Occupational Restriction: Warrior]

[Description: I dance with all my weapons in the sky, thanking the sky that allows me to freely dance and fly with my sword.]

Whoosh!

Russell waved his hand, and twelve swords appeared in the air, surrounding the large ship. He then thrust twelve swords into the sea.

Whoosh!

Russell shot downwards at an angle, grabbed one of the swords, and dashed upward.

A tentacle as thick as two people was cut in half by his sword.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Russell flew swiftly in the air, slicing the tentacles one by one as they fell into the sea.

Green blood stained the sea green, and steam rose up, frightening everyone who watched.

"Karoso, go back to the cabin. This is truly beyond what we can handle," Saaya took a deep breath.

Damn it, what on earth is happening?

"Hmm." Karoso felt helpless; he was just a fifth-tier warrior and couldn’t do much in this situation.

If bullet comments could provide some story, he might have some ability.

The two jumped down from the top, heading towards the first-class cabin.

"By the way, why did my clothes change and yours did not?" Saaya looked over Karoso, "I also noticed that it seems only those who are from third to sixth-tier Professionals have changes, while seventh tier, eighth tier, and below the third tier seem unaffected."

Many people’s clothes have changed now, which is very strange, as if they had entered a dungeon.

"You ask me, I ask who?" Karoso grumbled.

[The story is coming together!]

[A deity is coveting Sophia’s power, and on top of that, your luck ran out. You arrived at a special place during a special time and triggered a certain mechanism, getting transported to the edge of the Forbidden Sea.]

[This monster is a pet raised by ‘Hunger.’ Hunger was one of the old rulers, the most ancient deity in this world, who was killed by Sister Surtr. It looks quite similar to a monster.]

[This monster is very old, and we have only seen a small part of it.]

[Master Karoso, don’t worry too much. In the original story, the ones fighting were Merlin, Celica, Null, 『』, Russell, and the eighth-tier warrior brought by the Second Prince. Your current team is also strong.]

[We’re missing Null, 『』, and one eighth-tier warrior. How big is that gap!]

[Celica was beaten by Minaret, but she knows how to gather people. With two more eighth-tier warriors, we can fill in for Null and 『』, right?]

[Null and 『』 are Card Makers, so their combat power is definitely not as strong as those two eighth-tier warriors.]

[Wow, we’re missing two main characters! Can we really count Null and 『』 based on combat strength? They are amazing at printing cards on-site.]

[The eighth-tier warrior brought by the Second Prince is also impressive. Who will take that spot?]

[Don’t forget, Neymar is also a deity. Who knows what Neymar might attract?]

[Wait, wait… Wow, this monster was killed by Sister Surtr. Don’t forget, Master Karoso is Sister Surtr’s Chosen One!]

[Darn it, it won’t target Master Karoso, will it?]

At that moment, Karoso felt his mind go blank.

Saaya and Karoso were walking towards the cabin, but suddenly, Karoso disappeared.

Saaya’s eyes widened as he looked in disbelief at the spot where Karoso had vanished.

I didn’t do anything!

Watching Karoso disappear, Saaya felt a chill run down his spine.

Being eaten would be understandable, but this uncertainty is the scariest part.

Just then, a figure appeared at the spot where Karoso had disappeared, looking confused and saying, "Darn it, where did he go?"
