Chapter 38: The Familiar Feeling
update icon Updated at 2025/3/30 4:10:12

Seeing the skills displayed by Moled and the Black Knife, Lujie also felt the pressure. Moreover, both of them brought him this kind of feeling. If it was just the Sea Monster, it would be easier to explain, after all, the opponent was an ancient race, a monster that had lived for thousands of years. It would be acceptable if they had stronger abilities.

But the pressure that the Black Knife brought made him cautious because it proved the extraordinary nature of the Black Knife! Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to feel the danger with such strength.

Although Lujie claimed to have surpassed the King in his words, he also understood that he was not yet capable of controlling the sudden surge in power. He was only close to being a king before. Suddenly obtaining so much power was too much for him. It was definitely not enough for him to control it immediately. This was a process that required a lot of time to run in and couldn't be controlled all at once.

So he didn't dare to be too arrogant. He also displayed his own strength, and a black aura emanated from him. A massive "Devouring Demon" appeared behind him, and its enormous body was even larger than the transformed Moled. The cold and evil aura turned everything it touched into black. The fish in the sea would be corroded into blood at the touch of this black aura. The powerful corrosion was simply terrifying!

"Today, I will use your lives as the foundation for my path to become a king!" Lujie's ten fingers produced almost invisible magical threads, each connecting to the body of the "Devouring Demon." This was the origin of his name and his innate ability, the "Mind Threads," which allowed him to control any object.

With a wave of Lujie's hands, the Devouring Demon turned into a phantom and charged towards the two kings. Its massive body was like a black smoke. It didn't have huge claws like normal demons; all its attacks were carried out with a big mouth. Its sharp teeth were its weapon. If it bit someone, they would definitely be disabled if not killed.

Moreover, the most terrifying aspect of the Devouring Demon was its internal body. Once swallowed, even those who were slightly stronger than it would be unable to resist. Its digestive ability was extremely powerful, and it could continuously devour to enhance itself. This was also the greatest ability that Lujie gained from the Devouring Demon. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the strength he had now, because such a massive amount of energy would be enough to burst him.

"Ding!" The three-pronged trident of Moled collided with the teeth of the Devouring Demon, creating a clang of metal. At the same time, a series of sparks appeared wherever they touched, accompanied by the sound of sizzling.

"It's unexpectedly so hard?!" Moled, the Sea Monster, felt that his weapon was damaged. It must be noted that it was made from "Deep Sea Cold Iron" found ten thousand meters under the sea, a metal strong enough to withstand the pressure at that depth. Even super magic spells from king-level opponents would not cause any damage. Moreover, it was forged using the Sea Monster's special methods, allowing the coldness on it to reach its peak. Water and ice-based magic techniques could greatly amplify its power, and the coldness of the weapon alone was enough to freeze professionals below the king level.

But he didn't expect that the Devouring Demon would cause damage to his weapon upon their first contact, which surprised Moled greatly.

However, regardless of his surprise, with the Black Knife attacking from the side, the Devouring Demon had no choice but to let go, allowing the three-pronged trident to escape from its mouth. At the same time, its entire body turned into a cloud of smoke and returned to Lujie's side.

"Indeed worthy of the Sea Monster race!" All of Lujie's power was connected to the Devouring Demon, or rather, his strength relied on the Devouring Demon. This meant that the strength of the Devouring Demon was equivalent to that of a pseudo lord, far surpassing the average king. Moled could actually withstand its attacks, proving that these ancient races were far superior to humans in terms of combat power.

Also, the reason he retreated was actually due to the attack of the Black Knife. Even though its strength was not strong, even if it was slashed a few times, the Devouring Demon would not be affected. However, for some reason, when seeing the pitch-black blade of the Black Knife, he had a feeling of extreme danger, as if one strike from it could take his life.

"Control: Cursed Body!" With a wave of Lujie's hands, dense magical threads shot towards the sinking ghost ship. At the same time, black aura was pulled out by the threads. If you looked closely, you would see that these clusters of aura were all skulls. The aura emitted low, hoarse roars, and the upper and lower jawbones collided, but no sound could be heard. If an ordinary person saw this eerie situation, they would definitely be scared.

These are the restless spirits of people who died on the ghost ship. Some of them have strong grievances and refuse to accept their fate of dying here. Even in death, they are not at peace and have been transformed into vengeful spirits by Lujie using special methods, becoming his "weapons"!

"Go!" Lujie, realizing that even in his true form he may not necessarily win in battle, chooses a different method. Although he is powerful, his true form is still weak, especially the newly forged body of magical power, which cannot withstand too much damage. If any problems arise and he loses control of his magical power, it can be life-threatening.

In order to consider his own safety, Lujie chooses another method - to exhaust Mord and Black Blade. Despite their formidable combat abilities, they are not on the same level as him, especially considering his own strength. As long as he exhausts Mord's transformation and Black Blade's secret techniques, they will no longer be a threat!

How many people have died on the ghost ship?

For centuries, the ghost ship that has been active on the coastal border has attracted countless treasure seekers. During this time, none have returned, indicating that they have all died on this ship.

The densely packed vengeful spirits seem like small fireballs. Under Lujie's control, these skeletons gather in large numbers to form huge monsters. Each monster is composed of hundreds of skeletons and appears extremely terrifying. These are the true embodiments of resentment.

Under Lujie's command, these embodiments of resentment rush towards Mord and Black Blade like meteorites. Each skeleton embedded in them emits a demonic roar, mixed with attacks on the spiritual level. Although not strong, if an ordinary person were to hear these sounds, they would definitely go insane.

However, these demonic sounds are nothing more than ordinary sounds to the two kings. With their strength, if this little spiritual attack were effective, it would be an insult to their royal status.

And so, a new round of confrontation between the two sides has just begun!

Just then, Black Blade takes out a golden crystal from the spatial ring. As Bexia, who is observing from the void, looks at it, a familiar feeling arises in her heart...
