Max Level Miscellaneous Character - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: The Thrilling Island

Unfamiliar ships entered the sight of the crow spirits Huginn and Muninn.

There were no ships that crossed the waves and arrived at other beaches on the island, and there were no ships with Jolly Rogers hanging on them, but you could tell from the atmosphere. Everyone is a pirate.

“There are a lot of them, but I don’t think they are all from the same gang.”

Ivan chuckled and looked at Thomas Meyer.

“You said you wanted to avoid bugs, but it looks very crowded. Did you put an advertisement somewhere?”

Ivan shot at Thomas Meyer like that, but he didn’t really think he would. That said, the pirates moved too quickly.

It shouldn’t be that the story was leaking but that there were other clues. From the beginning, the orb of the sea was a famous legend among pirates.

The problem is that it has been hidden quietly for hundreds of years and has become a dungeon this time.

“They arrived here later than us, so they won’t know there’s a time limit. I don’t even know if it’s repeated.”

Ivan fastened the weapons hanging from his waist once more.

One long sword, two throwing daggers, and also an ax made for throwing.

“The pirates didn’t come here to tour. Now that they have not properly grasped the situation, we must first attack and reduce the number.”

Now was the opportunity to move the ship bound to the rules of the dungeon. Fighting on the sea was a huge disadvantage, but there was no reason to be pushed back on the island.

They weren’t a group anyway, so there won’t be a problem to cut them off one by one.

When Ivan looked up, Thomas Meyer paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then nodded his head.

“Yeah, let’s do that.”

The group was split in half. Some moved to defend the ships, others to attack.

Delfino and Ferocious Tooth were on the side to defend the ship, and Ivan and Irene were on the side to attack the pirates.

“Go carefully.”

As Delfino spoke, he glanced at Thomas Meyer and Kyle. The two were on the offensive side. It was said to be for searching for possible ruins, but I couldn’t believe it.

They moved swiftly along the line of sight of Huginn and Muninn. It was different from moving carefully as if exploring the forest. The speed at which even the stoutest sailors have sweat on their foreheads.

‘…..But Thomas Meyer is following along.’

It was funny how well he showed up with a cane at the first meeting. It wasn’t the energy of an old man. It meant that he had the power to hide.

To be honest, Ivan wasn’t that surprised. Because he never thought he was an ordinary old man in the first place.

Chak!

Ivan, who was running in the lead, raised his hand. There were pirates in front. They seem to be the guys who land on the island and explore the surroundings.

At Ivan’s glance, Irene leaped up the tree and hid her body. Stopped the others from coming forward, and Ivan moved first.

He hid his body in a square and silenced the sound of footsteps. He erased his presence and looked carefully at the pirates.

He hid himself with the stealth and sneak attack of thieves and settled down as if he was hunting for prey with the experience of a ranger.

The pirates were panting as if they had just finished the battle. Around them, beings with parts of their bodies mutated were seen falling to pieces.

“shit! What the hell happened to this place? What the hell are these disgusting bastards?”

The guys found the mutant and were greatly perplexed. The appearance of human beings with their bodies changed to octopus, jellyfish, and whelk was so unnatural that anyone could see at a glance that they were cursed. It was only natural for the pirates to get terrified by seeing this.

Shh!

Tuk!

Ivan aimed at one of them and quickly threw the ax. The ax cut through the air and split the skull of a hairless pirate, followed by Irene’s arrows piercing the hearts of those next to him.

“Attack……!”

The guy, who was about to start screaming when his comrades fell, couldn’t finish his speech. Ivan’s sword, which rushed at once, cut through his neck.

Chik!

Unlike the mutant that moved without a head, the pirates did not. They couldn’t resist and quickly stopped breathing.

After capturing two pirates, Ivan asked them. –

“Who are you?”

“We, we are just fishing…….”

The bullshit was punished by putting a dagger into his thigh.

“It’s great to be fishing in a place like this. Did you even try to catch a sea serpent?”

Ivan sarcastically twisted the dagger he had embedded.

“Aww!”

The pirate let out a painful scream, but Ivan didn’t blink. He didn’t have to worry about the sound leaking out because he had spread the soundproof barrier with his blood magic.

“belong.”

“Ugh! Bloody Tears Jack’s Pirates…!”

The pirate screamed again as he flicked his finger at the dagger dug into his thigh. It was because he saw that the eyes of the pirate next to him flickered for a moment.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes! Yes! That’s right… Whoa!”

Kwak!

Ivan stomped on his foot so hard that his right hand was completely crushed. He stepped on it so hard that a broken bone pierced his flesh.

He kicked the writhing man in pain, pushed it aside, and pulled another pirate to bite him.

“I won’t say it twice.”

Seeing clearly how the guy next to him had suffered, he trembled and recited information.

Their affiliation, how many of their colleagues, and how many pirates have arrived on this island.

Ivan, who heard the information roughly, nodded his head and cut the guy’s neck. He even dealt with the guy who was wriggling in pain and straightened his back.

“There are seven pirates, we’ve seen five, but there must be at least two more.”

Of course, Ivan couldn’t really believe the information he had heard. Because there is a lot of noise in the information vomited by such short torture.

It was accurate to read it by subduing the soul with magic, but it consumed more mana than expected. He didn’t need that much-advanced information anyway, so he didn’t need to do that to interrogate these miscellaneous guys.

“We must hurry. We have to deal with one more thing before the others notice.”

Suddenly, Ivan frowned and drew his sword. He felt a presence all around him. Suddenly, the encirclement was completed and they were tightened.

‘It didn’t take long enough to notice the abnormality, but the reaction was too fast. Were these guys only baits from the start? You left your men behind and waited?

The sharp and sultry flesh adheres to the skin. Violent but quite refined energy and movement. Compared to the guys who just knocked it down, the level was significantly higher.

After all, they were the pirates even the Western Union Kingdom couldn’t deal with. To say that they were such a dreadful bastard, the guys who had been knocked down a while ago had an excessively fresh feeling. The guys coming now must be real.

Although the cult serving the tyrant of the deep sea searched for it, it was the pirates who eventually took the orb of the sea. It sounds like their power is not formidable.

Ivan narrowed his eyes. He felt an unusual magical flow. He could see magic particles invisible to ordinary people oscillating in all directions.

Thud!

“Odin!”

At the same time, as Ivan thrust his sword into the floor and shouted, powerful magical energy erupted from those around him.

Boom!

A thunderstorm erupts with a loud roar. An explosion powerful enough to pierce the dark night sky and illuminate the surroundings.

Ivan hastily made a barrier and tried to block it, but it could not cover everyone. Some sailors were engulfed in flames, and they fell to ashes without even leaving a scream.

How could you use such strong magic for just a pirate? Does it mean that there’s someone from the magic tower with them?

Ivan snorted with cold, sunken eyes.

“I’ll take care of the wizard first!”

Ivan, who was running through the hot air, was escorted by an arrow that Irene fired.

It pierces through the pile of dirt rising around it and pierces the heads of the pirates who suddenly appeared. Ivan didn’t mind rushing at him and narrowed his distance.

Shh!

Kang!

A shield appeared, but it shattered like glass as Ivan increased his strength. Ivan, who was about to cut the wizard’s head, frowned. He was already falling apart.

“Ugh, uhhhh!”

His eyes turned back. The flesh is twisted and the skin is melting. He rolled on the floor, writhing in pain.

The pirates around him did the same. He was stabbing himself by the head with a face in terror.

Ivan turned his head behind him. Thomas Meyer was seen withdrawing his hand that had been outstretched in this direction.

“The Curse of the Sea God? So you are the giver, not the receiver. Is this what you mean?”

Dozens of disgusting eyes appeared on Thomas Meyer’s arm and then disappeared. Ivan could feel very dark and damp energy for that brief time.

The weight of the deep sea where no light enters, the horror of the abyss, the arrogant and violent force. So, the tyrant of the deep sea, well suited to his name.

It was obviously different from the demon’s magic, but it wasn’t very pleasant energy. Ivan seemed to understand why Delfino called the tyrant of the deep sea a person infinitely close to the evil spirit.

“The sea is a scary and terrifying creature. Those who forget it will eventually be cursed by the sea.”

Thomas Meyer looked at Ivan with a calm expression.

“This is the end of those who covet what his.”

Thomas Meyer, who once again issued a warning not to covet the heart of the sea god, pointed and said.

“I can feel his heart now. Yes, I can hear my heart beating.”

“What?”

“Can’t you hear this beating? This ecstatic power that is spreading even now!”

Ivan frowned as he watched Thomas Meyer scream as if drunk.

“Irene! Do you feel anything?”

At that, Irene jumped off the tree and came closer. Her expression was serious.

“I can feel the flow of his soul. You’d better open your eyes and see.”

Woong.

Ivan’s right eye was dyed golden. Deep wisdom saw the world and showed the invisible.

‘The island is trembling.’

Magic power? No, it wasn’t. It’s something more essential than that. The island resonated with the flow of the soul.

“Heimdall! Lend me your strength!”

As Ivan screamed in haste, the watchman’s god, who was watching from heaven, gladly lent his senses.

Ears to hear the sound of wool growing, eyes to see the ends of the world.

Ivan, who had partially accepted the senses of the Transcendental One, was looking over the island before he knew it. He looked down from heaven to earth.

Battles were taking place all over the island. Cursed mutants attacked the freshly landed pirates, and the pirates anchored nearby were fighting and bleeding.

Each time they fell to the floor and lost their lives, the island shook. The flow of the soul fluctuated like a heartbeat.

The souls of the dead are sucked in somewhere. The more it did, the stronger the sound I felt on the island.

Ivan clenched his teeth.

“The whole island was an altar. All the dead are sacrificed to make the power stronger.”
