The Ultimate Evolution Chapter 548

Blood trickled down in droplets from the tip of his lance.

Yet when that gypsy knight attempted to retract his lance, he felt as though his weapon had been embedded into a rock; seemingly impossible to budge.

Raising his head, he immediately contacted the fiery blaze combusting within Sheyan’s eyes!

Knowing that his boss had rushed over in the nick of time, Brother Black released a comforted exhalation. The feeling of having someone s.h.i.+elding the front allowed him to peacefully unleash bold and carefree bouts of fire.

With Sheyan resisting the front, the incessant a.s.saults of the two gypsy knights completely felt like bullets ricocheting off from colliding into a wall.

Under the wanton fires of Mogensha, two viperwolf spirits were speedily summoned; pouncing forward insatiably as they chomped and clawed, easing the pressure off Sheyan a little.

Without needing much time, they eliminated the two gypsy knights, and successfully acquired a light-blue grade key.

Soon later, the final emotionless gypsy knight clutched his throat while decrepitly kneeling on the ground, before shutting his eyes. The duo then slumped to the ground unanimously, feeling as though not an area of their body was spared from pain.

Still, a feeling of a new lease of life subconsciously welled up in their hearts. Mogensha then glanced towards Sheyan’s blinded eye, before smiling bleakly and speaking with a raspy voice.

"Darn it, boss. If raiding this campsite isn’t an ‘A’ difficulty storyline, I will eat down all my ammunitions on hand!"

Sheyan laid on the ground with his face towards the sky. He could feel every portion of his body that had been smashed by that d.a.m.ned beast, was throbbing with acute pain. So pain, he didn’t wish to move a single finger.

Gritting his teeth, Sheyan fished out a bottle of rum before first was.h.i.+ng the blackened wounds of his. He then squeezed out the toxic blood within it.

If scars remain after contestants were healed, then Sheyan’s face would’ve been directly disfigured. After settling the majority of his wounds, Sheyan then gazed into the darkness of the night and sighed.

"That woman was unexpectedly able to hurl out a straight flus.h.!.+ Indeed, she is worthy of inheriting the t.i.tle of Jiejie. If I’d know she would be such a deranged wh.o.r.e, I would definitely not have provoked her. Still, our current mission difficulty has already risen to ‘B+’, this hidden storyline plot should truly be of an ‘A’ difficulty. I have been too careless after the smooth sailing events ever since we entered this world."

The duo rested briefly as they felt their energy slowly replenis.h.i.+ng. Then, they crept towards the campsite of the gypsy’s Baladine Bloodsail refining once again. They cautiously inched in, before they discovered that once again, a group of gypsy followers had congregated back within this campsite.

However, in comparison to their prior discipline, those gypsy appeared like a chaotic mess.

They were in an uproar. Some were trying their best to maintain order, while others were shouting loudly as they began rummaging through the objects from various tents.

During the latter parts, both sides started to berate each other loudly, and scuffles of shoving elevated into conflicts. One could also spectate some gypsy followers attempting to s.h.i.+ft away the incomplete Baladine Bloodsail.

When Sheyan activated the plundering ability of his ‘Pirate Captain’ t.i.tle to survey it, that Baladine Bloodsail actually emitted a dull golden brilliance!

Sheyan and Mogensha exchanged glances, and could roughly guess these were the defeated reinforcements of the gypsies. Therefore it meant Reef had smoothly seized the s.h.i.+p.

Otherwise, why would such a scene of opportunist abandoning an unfavourable cause happen amongst the gypsies?

Both of them were already individuals abundant with combat experience. Sheyan gazed at the Baladine Bloodsail and pursed his lips. Brother Black immediately nodded in advocation, as he retrieved his ‘SN-9 Wasp’ and aimed.

When Mogensha opened fire, Sheyan immediately leapt out and bellowed thunderously.

"All hands attack! Annihilate those accursed gypsies!"

These gypsies were already like birds who would be startled by a tw.a.n.g of a bow. Furthermore, internal strife had erupted amongst them. When they heard the sudden a.s.saulting pursuit of the pirates, or rather, just a call to eradicate them, their courage collapsed entirely!

Hidden in the dark, Brother Black mowed down two gypsy leaders with his gunshots. Then, he swapped to spraying with his AK. The relentless gunshots pouring in a hail of bullets ingeniously yielded a misconception, causing the gypsies who couldn’t perceive the sounds of a semi-automatic rifle to think that a squad of gunmen had arrived.

In addition, Sheyan leapt out as he cut down several individuals like a fiend. Such a blood drenched cruelty of facts was truly served into their face, leaving them scattering like birds and beasts!

Yet noteworthily, several loyalists still wished to escape with the Baladine Bloodsail. Yet, how could such a conduct akin to being exposed food in a lion’s den prevail?

Sheyan and Mogensha immediately targeted their damage output towards those group of loyalists! Furthermore, that Baladine Bloodsail appeared immensely heavy, and required 5-6 matured chaps to hoist it up. Attempting to escape with that would be no easy feat.

Hence, after dragging it for several tens of metres, the final gypsy giving his all was shot down to the ground by Brother Black; that sail discharging a baleful aura was then dumped to the ground.

At the area where the sail was dumped, one could observe the gra.s.s withering speedily. The originally luscious and fertile soil quickly turned dry and grainy; ultimately, degrading into a sandy land devoid of life. One could fathom how deadly its baleful aura was.

At this moment, Sheyan suddenly discovered another glowing object. Attempting to reach out for it, he failed to do so. Naturally, it shouldn’t be something that could be acquired by a contestant.

Sheyan then contemplated before trying to retrieve it with his ‘Pirate Captain’ plundering ability. This time, he successfully retrieved it. In the end, he uncovered its description – [ Mysterious Shattered Crystal Toe. Usage unknown. ]

Scrutinizing this object, Sheyan immediately recalled. It should've been back when he was crushed by that terrifying astronomical sculpture, that impact of clas.h.i.+ng shaved off that bit of the sculpture! At present, when he touched this shattered crystal toe, it appeared as soft as rubberish clay.

All of a sudden, the object strangely warped as though it was being summoned, seemingly on the verge of evaporating from the warping air.

Sheyan’s heart shook as he immediately gripped it and sent it into the party storage of his nightmare imprint.

Yet even after being kept inside his party storage, the insincere object continued to wiggle and change incessantly. After a long while, it finally calmed down. The major portion of it had transformed into a regiment of dull glow, looking rather mild. Instead, a black oddity the size of a mung bean was deposited within its bosom.

As it turns out, there was a tiny portion of the totemic demon beast soul that adhered within the shattered crystal toe. Identically, this broken off soul was still mutually linked with its main soul.

This strange occurrence was due Jiejie stirring the main body of the totemic demon beast, thus beckoning for this fragment of soul to return.

However, after it had been placed inside the party storage, it was essentially transported to another dimension. The soul link between the two had been severed!

Even the mighty Little Lord Fokke could not dispute this. Hence, Queen Jiejie would be needless to mention.

With both parties forcefully severed, it was akin to blood flow being obstructed in a human’s kidney, brain, liver, spleen or any organ. The soul fragment within the crystal toe instantly dried up and congealed into a black residue. While the spirit essence it had absorbed transformed into its original state, and lingered around it in the form of a faint glow.

At this moment, Reef and the pirate crew finally rushed over to a.s.sist Sheyan and Mogensha.

Reef, Blacksail and the others were also covered in injuries. Even the scout, Ol’Seadog, had a blade wound across his face! Blood soaked and dripping, one could fathom the intense battle that had transpired during their attempt to commandeer the s.h.i.+p.

The reinforcing pirate crew originally felt that their side of the battle was tremendously arduous. Yet when they noticed Sheyan’s body riddled with wounds along with one mangled eye of his, they know the battling they experienced wasn’t inferior to theirs.

Gorged with shock, they couldn’t help but lament the fierce battling that Sheyan and Mogensha had experienced.

The casualties of this battle were exceedingly high. Nevertheless this signified a new lease of life for them, as the pirates’ morale soared rampantly.

When those old foxes like Ol’Seadog and others saw Sheyan, they couldn't refrain from exclaiming with eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears of excitement.

"Cap’n, we’ve commandeered a magnificent s.h.i.+p!"

The carpenter Spike also waved his broadsword with feverish excitement as he yelled.

"That s.h.i.+p be practically unsinkable even in h.e.l.l. Good grief, those gypsies actually employed her as a transportin’ s.h.i.+p for fis.h.i.+ng. I could almost hear her lamenting with grief over her fate, but now...it be time we liberate her tempest!!!"

It could be said that Spike held authority in this aspect. When he exclaimed, even those pirates suffering from agony cheered. Sheyan couldn’t help but antic.i.p.ate with a marvelling thirst.

He then issued an order to get men to bundle up the Baladine Bloodsail; isolate the baleful aura within it before transporting it back to the newly commandeered 5-masted flags.h.i.+p.

When Sheyan approached the coast, he could behold a grand shadow anch.o.r.ed by the sea. Within the darkness of night, its mast erected firmly like a spear. From afar, it resembled a giant fort towering by the coast, and a.s.sumed a majestic and dignified grandeur.

Upon nearing it, one could notice that though this s.h.i.+p was 5-masted, she vastly exceeded an ordinary 5-masted s.h.i.+p in terms of her volume and imposure; being almost comparable with other 7-masted wars.h.i.+ps.

Speaking from its exterior, the s.h.i.+p’s bow and stern was peculiarly squarish. Even a naval ram it should possess wasn’t present.

Further differing from other s.h.i.+ps, the portion of its hull beneath the s.h.i.+p’s draft was larger which allowed great stability when floating on the sea surface. It was as stable and steadfast like a standard weight scale, that even the stormy sea could not overturn its satisfactory equilibrium.
