Time passed quickly.A few days passed. Adrian, Mya, and Lincoln had already spent three full days out on the Sant Sea. NS Trinaga cruised forward in the direction of its destination. Sea conditions constantly changed in the past three days and the ship had encountered some small storms but thankfully, the waves died down after the storm.Mya stood on the deck and looked out into the sea in the distance. She turned her head and said to Adrian, “There’s still an hour to go. We’ll be leaving our waters soon and arriving at the international waters. I hope everything will be fine!”Isle 416 was located at the edge of the Sant Sea and it would require at least a week’s time to get there. The third leg of the trip would be the most dangerous. One would need to face more than just the weather upon arriving in international waters.“Doing okay there, Link?” Adrian turned his head to look toward Lincoln.Lincoln was old, his back bent and needed a cane to prop himself up. Upon hearing Adr
Adrian stood on the deck and looked ahead. Then, he leaped into the sea.One of the large ships was brightly lit. It was at the backmost position and it was the command center of the enemies. These ships were carrying Black Nergal’s banner, instantly revealing them as Black Nergal’s members.Meanwhile, a wild party was taking place in the atrium of the cabin of this backmost ship. A group of men and women were dancing with abandon and the music was deafening. A middle-aged man in furs was lounging on a leather sofa, accompanied by a young woman on each side while holding a glass that was filled with wine.At this very moment, a person walked into the cabin and said, “Commander Shadow, we have surrounded the other party’s ship. We checked the ship briefly and noticed that there weren’t many people on board.”The man wearing furs used the moniker “Shadow” and was one of Black Nergal’s naval leaders. An hour ago, they noticed the presence of a ship in their surrounding area and Shadow
Shadow never expected the opposing party to have already boarded his ship, exuding murderous intent, while he was still planning on his first move. Even when his subordinates aimed their weapons at him, the Navien war legate did not seem to panic in the slightest bit.On the contrary, he took a step forward and exuded a murderous intent so strong that one could feel it wherever they stood. A number of women in the atrium screamed and fled.Shadow was glued to his sofa, large droplets of sweat dripping from his face. No one in the past had the courage to provoke him in these waters, so much so that he felt like he was unparalleled in this world. However, a feeling of uneasiness and panic began to creep into his heart the very moment Adrian walked in.“Dra…Draco, what brought you here? Black Nergal harbors no enmity against you, So why are you…” Shadow grew restless and constantly beckoned his subordinates with his eyes in an attempt to launch a surprise attack on Adrian.Adrian stop
The corner of Adrian’s lips suddenly curled into a cold sneer. In the next moment, a loud bang was heard. Adrian pierced through the floor deck with his foot as if he had channeled a load of force into his leg.Rumble!The ship swayed violently and a gush of seawater surged into the ship. The whole ship shook left and right violently until everyone on board lost their footing and fell to the ground.Water surged into the atrium. Shadow was astounded, never expecting something like this to happen, all his men toppling over from the swaying of the ship and the sudden surging of seawater. The scene was thrown into chaos.“Shoot him dead!” roared Shadow.Bang, bang, bang!The sound of gunshots rang out but these people were utterly incapable of standing steady. The ship thrashed violently and many of the bullets hit Shadow’s own people.Splat! Splat!The sound of bullets penetrating people’s bodies was heard constantly as people collapsed to the ground one by one.Shadow panicked
The ships around them had undergone a series of quakes while they were speaking. Water gushed into these ships and they sank one after another. All the boats sunk beneath the waves, coupled with sounds of panicked, fearful, agonizing screams.After a series of disturbances on the surface, the sea finally returned to its calm state. Mya and Lincoln were relieved upon witnessing the scene before their eyes. Before the enemies could even approach, Adrian had already dealt with them.It did not take long before Adrian swam back to NS Trinaga from a distance.“Are you all right?” Mya hastily brought over a towel and quickly dried Adrian’s drenched hair as soon as he boarded the ship.“I’m fine,” said Adrian.“Your clothes are drenched. Let’s get you changed,” Mya urged.Adrian nodded and walked into the cabin. Mya heaved a sigh of relief and looked out at the sea that stretched as far as the eyes could see. The sea had already returned to its calm state.***The next day, the sun
Lincoln nodded upon hearing this and walked out of the room. After he left the room, Mya hastily grabbed Adrian and asked softly, “What happened earlier? I saw the drastic change in your expression.”Adrian shook his head and said, “It seemed that Link stopped breathing earlier but he suddenly woke up for some unknown reason.”“What?” Mya widened her eyes in surprise.‘Stopped breathing? Doesn’t that mean he was dead?’“Could you have been mistaken? Isn’t he well and alive?” asked Mya.Adrian was uncertain. However, he was absolutely sure that Lincoln was not breathing earlier. In fact, he could not even feel Lincoln’s heartbeat. He was rather astonished by how Lincoln had suddenly woken up.“Mya, have you noticed that things are becoming more unusual the closer we get to Isle 416?” said Adrian.Mya stopped walking upon hearing this. She turned her head to look at Adrian. Unusual? Other than Lincoln’s unusual situation, she did not notice anything else that was out of the ordina
Upon hearing the alert, Adrian and Mya exchanged glances. They left the dining hall and ran onto the deck. They stood there and gazed into the distance, finding a large amount of debris floating on the surface of the sea.The contents of the debris would leave anyone astonished. It was formed by a large number of discarded clothes, and one could occasionally spot some corpses floating on top of the clothes. There were even shipwrecks among the dense debris.The line of debris stretched all the way to Isle 416.“Umm… What in the world is happening?” Lincoln walked over on his cane, astonishment on his face.Mya was stunned as well.The clothes floating on the sea were not of a single style but the styles and patterns of different countries. The colors of these garments had changed from soaking in the salty seawater for such a long time. Skeletons and shipwrecks floated among the clothes. Something must have happened here based on the scene unfolding before their eyes.Mya said in
“I’m already here, so what’s the point of me staying back? I’m going with you. You don’t have to worry about me. My survival is no longer important,” said Lincoln.Adrian did not push it after failing to persuade Lincoln.Soon, NS Trinaga dropped its anchor on a shallow beach. Adrian, Mya, and Lincoln got into an inflated boat that they rowed toward Isle 416.There was an intense stench radiating from the surface of the sea. Corpses and rotten ships could be seen everywhere. These ships were extremely quiet. Even corpses were spotted on these ships.Mya looked around her and said, “Many of these people were wearing battle suits. It seems like they were soldiers specially commissioned from different outland countries. Were they here in search of something?”Judging by the situation, it was as if there was something on the island that was worthy of being sought out.Adrian did not answer.Lincoln said, “If your guess is right, it’s possible that it’s related to a mission that I to
