If you ignored the corpses in the hold and the large number of imprisoned girls, Senor, apart from his slightly sunken eye sockets and pale face, looked like an ordinary middle-aged uncle.
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard Hobert was going to hunt the "Vice Admiral Dusk."
Senor smiled and said, "Young man, I know you're strong. I knew it when you approached this ship, but this is at sea, and it's not as simple as you think."
Hobert smiled. "Alright, since you don't know either, I'll go look again."
"Wait a moment." Senor suddenly tossed Hobert a small glass bottle containing a small piece of wood. "I just used this to design a trap for Bulatov (the 'Vice Admiral Dusk's' name)."
"If you have the ability, use it to find Bulatov."
Similar to the "Vice Admiral Iceberg's" idea, Senor was happy to send an opponent to his opponent.
Hobert looked at the glass bottle seriously. It seemed to be a piece of wood taken from the ship. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. I'm always so helpful," Senor said earnestly, while his subordinates seemed to be trying hard to suppress their laughter.
He paused and added, "Also, this breakfast costs 3,000 pounds. You can leave after paying the bill."
Finally, he thoughtfully added, "If you don't have that much money, you can pay with corresponding items."
Hobert looked at the breakfast in front of him. "I didn't eat a single bite."
"Young man, be reasonable," Senor said. "Although you didn't eat, you didn't refuse when I served you breakfast, did you?"
Senor's subordinates finally burst into laughter.
The 'Admiral of Blood' smiled coldly. "Let me introduce you. This is the ship's First Mate, Caesar, who, like you, is also a Sequence 5.
"To your left are the flagship's Third Mate, Clarin, Combat Captain Oled, and Third Captain Byrd."
This was Senor's way of intimidating him.
There were at least five 'Mid-Sequence' Beyonders in the restaurant, including two Sequence 5s. They all felt that Hobert should pay the bill.
Hobert smiled. "What follows will be a conversation between men. Please, ladies, leave."
Senor sneered. "This young man is taking pity on these little girls. But I am the captain of this ship, and only I can give orders here."
The people at the table looked at Hobert with smiles, as if they were looking at an inexperienced junior.
Senor dragged a girl to his side and put a hand under her short skirt. Tears streamed from the girl's eyes, and she trembled all over, closing her eyes in pain, but she didn't dare to resist.
Senor said coldly, "This is a descendant of a noble from Loen, a reserved little girl. She tastes very good. Would you like to try her?"
Unfortunately, Senor didn't see the young man's angry expression. The young man in front of him was still so calm, as calm as before.
"Never mind then," Hobert said. "I'll show you something."
Hobert, who had been preparing, suddenly flipped the oil painting forward.
Senor and the others tensed up, preparing themselves, but none of them expected that the first thing Hobert did was use the oil painting to block their view.
Their spirituality told them that the oil painting was dangerous and that they should quickly turn their heads away.
But for some reason, it seemed like there was a huge attraction that made their eyes unable to resist glancing at it.
In the end, the people in front of them had to exclaim in horror, "What a beautiful landscape!"
Senor was also puzzled. Wasn't the young man letting those little girls out to avoid accidentally hurting them? Why did he still launch a Beyonder attack?
Immediately afterward, the monster in the oil painting appeared on the dining table, but before it could deliver its curse, Senor let out a soul-piercing shriek.
Poof~
The monster disappeared without a trace like a deflated ball.
At this time, First Mate Caesar and the others' Beyonder attacks were blocked by Hobert with the oil painting. At the same time, he released the seal on "1-102."
This sealed item was more suitable for use against more powerful enemies. Its ability was: "It can summon monsters from the mirror world that desire to have a face. These monsters will try everything to devour enemies so that they can obtain the enemy's face and become stronger in the mirror world. It can summon up to four monsters, but the holder has no control over the summoning process or what kind of monsters are summoned."
The negative effect is: "This item opens the mirror world, and the creatures inside all want to have their own faces, so they will try to devour people in the real world and take their faces whenever they have the chance. If the holder doesn't want to die a terrible death, they should not look in the mirror for a day, stay away from any glass products, and stay away from anything reflective. After a day, the opened mirror world will disappear.
"It cannot be confirmed what kind of monster will be summoned. It may think the enemy's appearance is too ugly and want to take the holder's appearance. In that case, it is equivalent to summoning an enemy. It may also summon monsters that attack indiscriminately."
After releasing the seal on "1-102," the wooden puppet in Hobert's hand began to shake its head from side to side.
Da da da~
It shook faster and faster, with greater and greater amplitude.
It raised a hand, and a piece of glass on the restaurant's window lost all its color. The other side of the glass was another world, an evil world, and now only a layer of gray film separated the two worlds. A human-shaped shadow appeared inside the gray film.
The shadow's face could not be seen clearly, but everyone in the room could feel it looking at the outside world with evil eyes.
The combat captain named Oled accidentally glanced at the monster, stood up straight suddenly, and then walked stiffly towards the window.
Oled quickly restrained his spirituality and attention. Before competing with the evil monster for control of his body, one of his legs stepped out and then back, then out again, then back again.
It was like dancing a very awkward dance.
The others ignored Oled. They all knew this was the ability of the sealed item on Hobert's body, so they attacked Hobert together.
But the more people there were, the more operational Hobert's ability became: "Weaken!"
This skill was the unwavering vanguard. Senor and the others didn't care, because even if they were "weakened," their combined strength was still stronger than Hobert's.
"Abyss Shackles!" First Mate Caesar was at the very back, preparing to control Hobert.
A set of dark and solid shackles appeared out of thin air in the restaurant. In theory, these shackles should have appeared on Hobert's feet or body, but strangely, the shackles flew around Hobert, refusing to latch onto him.
That was because Hobert was holding the oil painting in front of him. Anything related to the "Abyss" didn't dare to approach the oil painting.
At the same time, Senor's "Ice Arrows" and Third Mate Clarin's "Frost Cyclone" had reached Hobert.
Their attacks caused the temperature in the restaurant to plummet. If you accidentally touched the "Frost Cyclone," your flesh would immediately become stiff. And even if you didn't touch the "Ice Arrows," your flesh would still become stiff if you were close enough.
The latter was equivalent to an upgraded version of the former.
"Distort!"
These two kinds of frost attacks were distorted by Hobert and smashed towards Third Captain Byrd, who was attacking Hobert with a knife. Byrd dodged agilely, and his attack was also resolved.
Hobert withstood the second round of attacks from Senor's men, and the puppet in his hand raised its other hand.
A glass on the table that had not been knocked over lost all its color and suddenly turned dark gray. A blurred black shadow could be seen inside, and slippery tentacles stretched out from it, coiling towards Caesar, who was closest to it.
Caesar immediately threw a small glass bottle at the tentacles.
Smash~
The glass bottle was shattered by the tentacles, and the dark red liquid inside splashed on the tentacles. A "sizzling" corrosive sound could be heard.
The tentacles shook violently, but they still couldn't shake off the potion, and they couldn't stop the tentacles from being rapidly corroded.
Caesar was about to continue attacking Hobert when the tentacles suddenly retracted, and then tentacles with obvious exoskeletons stretched out from the glass, with inverted barbs on the tentacles that looked very sharp.
Each tentacle was as thick as an arm, and a dozen of them stretched out at once, making the glass on the table look very small.
But incredibly, these tentacles stretched out from a small glass. The tentacles were very thin when they first stretched out, but they suddenly became thicker after leaving the glass for a distance.
Scarlet moonlight appeared around Caesar. In the moonlight, he would become more agile, his spirituality would be more abundant, and his strength would be greater.
His nails grew rapidly, and his nails were suddenly covered with mystical symbols and patterns. He waved his hands, blocking the tentacles' attacks.
Each strike had a strong "corrosive" effect, but it had little effect on the tentacles.
And it was difficult for the tentacles to attack Caesar, because Caesar's speed was now so fast that it was dazzling.
The girls finally gathered at the door, crawling and rolling. The door of the restaurant was opened, and the wind blew in. As the girls screamed and ran out, the guards also discovered the fighting in the restaurant.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The sound never stopped.
On the other side, Senor and the other two were launching their third round of attacks on Hobert. They were all known for their speed and strong attacks, and they liked close combat.
At this time, they had already rushed in front of Hobert. Clarin, who was in the front, kicked the oil painting, which was like a shield, causing Hobert to crash heavily into the cabin.
Seeing this was a good opportunity, Senor immediately transformed into a shadow and possessed him.
"Disorder!" Hobert, who was almost falling apart, caused Senor to fall into a brief state of chaos: "Underworld Gate!"
Hobert regretted not wearing the "Light Priest Ring." For Senor in shadow form, "Holy Light" would definitely have an attack bonus.
Senor, who had recovered from the brief state of "chaos," suddenly slipped and miraculously avoided the pale hands stretching out from the "Underworld Gate."
However, the suction of the "Underworld Gate" was still very strong, and Senor rolled towards the bronze door involuntarily.
He let out a piercing shriek at the bronze door, and the arms, eyes, and sounds in the bronze door all froze.
The price Hobert paid for using the "Underworld Gate" was that he took a blow from Clarin.
Clarin originally wanted to tear off one of Hobert's arms. The power of a "Zombie" was enough for him to tear apart the body of a Sequence 5!
Of course, he couldn't tear apart Sequence 5s with extremely strong physiques such as "Guardians" and "Druids," or "Priests of Light" who could partially "lightify" or "Shepherds" who could "shadowify."
Although Hobert's path could also enhance his physique, it was still within the range that the other party could tear apart, but Hobert had the "blessing" of the "Zombie Spoon," making it difficult for the other party to succeed.
Clarin turned around and slammed Hobert to the ground. The floor of the restaurant was of some unknown structure and was not damaged at all, directly throwing him into a daze.
At this time, the puppet shaking its head raised a leg, and a metal plate on the ground suddenly lost all its luster and turned gray. A cloud of dust like ashes floated out of it.
This layer of dust formed a layer of gray mist above everyone's heads, rolling and stirring non-stop as if it had a life of its own. Including Hobert, everyone immediately felt their spirituality rapidly draining away.
These gray mists were attacking indiscriminately. Whoever couldn't hold on first would be the first to collapse, thinking that their spirituality had been exhausted.
Clarin on the other side had the advantage and directly chased after him with another kick. Hobert used "Blink" to dodge. Before he could counterattack, Senor in shadow form had already rushed over.
It turned out that Senor had summoned a black swamp, and vines grew out of the swamp. Now the "Underworld Gate" was trapped in the swamp, entangled by the vines, and it would be difficult to play an effective role within ten seconds.
"Knight!" Hobert ended the summoning of the "Underworld Gate" and recited this summoning word at the same time.
Hant, wearing a knight's uniform and with his eyeballs hanging on his cheeks, appeared from the void. His white longsword flashed with a pale light, forcing back Senor in shadow form.
Hobert ordered, "Entangle him!"
Footsteps could already be heard in the corridor. Although it was suicide for ordinary pirates to participate in this battle, there must be other "Mid-Sequence" Beyonders on board. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Hobert, so Hobert summoned Hant, hoping to find an opportunity to counterattack.
Senor did not rashly possess Hant, who was full of Underworld aura, but attacked Hant's spiritual body in shadow form.
But strangely, the pale white light emitted from Hant's body effectively isolated Senor's attack on the soul.
The strange thing about this matter was that Hant clearly came from the Underworld, so the source of his power should be from his own spiritual body. In theory, attacking his spiritual body would cause him a fatal blow. But he couldn't be attacked. How frustrating!
Hant's appearance allowed Hobert to take the initiative. Facing Clarin, who continued to chase after him, Hobert also kicked out, leg against leg, causing Clarin to take a step back.
Both of them had the boost of the "Zombie" state, and they used all their strength in that kick. They both felt a wooden pain in their calves from the earlier clash, and almost reached out to rub them.
At this moment, the puppet, whose head was shaking violently, lifted its last leg.
In the corner, the wine bottle suddenly lost all its color and turned gray. A dark gray hand, devoid of any life, reached out from inside and grabbed the calf of Third Mate Byrd.
Byrd was the only Sequence 7 in the dining hall, and in a battle of this level, his role was actually not significant.
When the "Underworld Gate" appeared earlier, the fear in his heart exploded, and the suction of the "Underworld Gate" greatly affected him.
The suction of the "Underworld Gate" was a pull from the soul level, directly acting on the soul. Therefore, Byrd, who had not yet recovered after the "Underworld Gate" disappeared, was grabbed by this hand and immediately dragged down, being pulled little by little towards the wine bottle.
Now the situation was great for Hobert. He only needed to deal with Clarin.
So Hobert blocked Clarin's attacks while carrying the oil painting on his back again.
Freeing up a hand, he pulled out the knife hidden in his cane and began to fight back.
"Distortion!"
This "Distortion" was not used on Clarin, but on the boatswain who came to support from outside.
The boatswain had been outside directing the crew to fight the storm. After receiving the alarm of an enemy attack, he immediately came to support.
He was a "Wind Blessed." He put on his gloves and was about to rush in to punch Hobert, but when he rushed to the entrance of the dining hall, Hobert changed his thought of "supporting the captain" to "supporting the captain's woman."
So the boatswain looked at the several girls huddled in the corner of the corridor, shivering from the frost: "Give them some clothes! Idiots!"
As he spoke, the boatswain took off his already soaked shirt, preparing to put it on one of the girls, but he hesitated for a moment: WTF, can someone tell me, which one is the captain's woman?
At this time, in the dining hall, Hobert had already forced Clarin into a corner. Just when Clarin was in a precarious situation, eight pale-faced men rushed in from outside the dining hall.
They held knives and guns and attacked Hobert together, finally giving Clarin a chance to breathe.
These eight men were puppets cultivated by Clarin. One of them was killed by Hobert with a single knife, but they seemed unafraid of death and continued to charge at Hobert.
Suddenly, the movements of the remaining seven people slowed down. Hobert was using the "Spirit Wine Glass" to compete with Clarin for control of these living corpses.
Because they were puppets carefully cultivated by Clarin, and the "Spirit Wine Glass" was not as high-level as the "Azik Copper Whistle," Hobert could only slow them down for the time being.
"Charm!" Hobert put Clarin, who was about to whip up another "Frost Hurricane," into a state of "Charm."
Clarin was immediately captivated by Hobert's charm, and really wanted to invite Hobert to his room to enjoy the pleasure brought by the girls and handsome young men who served him.
But Hobert had already rushed close, and with one knife, he slashed from the head to the abdomen.
Clarin's two eyes were falling in different directions, one forward and one backward. At this moment, he still hadn't recovered from the "Charm" state. His eyes were full of surprise, unable to understand why this extremely charming old friend suddenly turned against him?
As the seven living corpses stopped moving and fell to the ground one after another, it indicated that Clarin's life and spirituality were rapidly draining away.
At this time, Hobert was observing the situation on the battlefield. Oled's movements had become smoother, obviously Oled was gradually gaining the upper hand in this battle for his body.
He took the opportunity to break the wine glass that had stretched out tentacles, but the tentacles were not affected much, and continued to stretch out from the fragments.
He threw a few more potions at them, and rust-like spots appeared on the tentacles, and their movements were becoming sluggish.
Under the moonlight, he was rapidly breaking away from the "Weakened" state, and his spirituality and power were becoming stronger.
Senor was completely suppressed by Hant, but Hant was unable to hurt Senor for the time being.
Only Byrd was about to be dragged into the bottle and was struggling desperately.
Hobert quickly made a decision. He used "Blink" to come to Byrd's side, first stabbing the other person in the chest, and then cutting off the other person's grabbed leg.
Then, dragging the half-dead Byrd, he used "Blink" again to grab Clarin, who had not completely died, and used "Travel" to leave here.
But when the space in front of him became illusory, a middle-aged man with a grin came out first. He had sunken eyes, a pale face, and a black mustache.
It was Senor!
He let out a sharp shriek at Hobert, and Hobert immediately felt pain from the depths of his soul: "Arrogance!"
Senor, who could have continued to expand the results of the battle, suddenly put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I am a Pirate Admiral. That knight with the eyeballs wandering outside is nothing great except for his swordsmanship. And this kid carrying the oil painting wants to use 'Travel' to leave! What a joke, the Spirit World is like my backyard. As long as he uses 'Travel' on this ship, I can block him!"
While he was gloating, one of the tentacles suddenly whipped over and sent Senor flying.
This did not cause him much damage. On the contrary, if he hadn't flown out, he would have been pierced through the heart by Hant who was chasing after him.
Hant's sword was not an ordinary weapon either. If it pierced through the chest, it would also cause great damage to a "Wraith."
"We'll regroup later!" Hobert shouted to Hant, dragging two half-dead trophies and running out: "Corrosion!"
He had been brewing it for a long time, and immediately the pirates who came to support from outside the dining hall were affected by "Corrosion."
Hobert took the opportunity to rush out and came to the deck in the wind and rain.
At this time, the boatswain, who had recovered from the "Distortion" state, shouted: "Surround him! He doesn't dare to enter the Spirit World, he can't escape!"
"Skinny Horse!" Hobert shouted in Hermes, and a huge, winged skeleton horse came out of the void.
Hobert jumped on the horse's back, and the skeleton horse took him away from the Flesh and Blood Tree.
