===
The wind and rain battered the cabin, which was open on all four sides, accompanied by excited roars!
Bang!! Amidst the sound of the deck cracking, the ship lurched violently.
Allen almost rolled off the bed.
"Mr. Allen!!"
Hearing this, Allen, who was soaking wet, gritted his teeth and shot up from the bed.
He turned his head! His pupils constricted into pinpoints.
In his line of sight, the electric light illuminated the front, and the cabin was identical to the one in his dream. It was smashed by the broken mast, and the cabin was filled with water.
Leuf was kneeling beside his bed, his hair and clothes soaked. He looked very disheveled, but his face was still human, without any signs of spiritification.
Seeing Allen staring at his face, he grabbed Allen's sleeve and laughed.
"Mr. Allen! You're finally awake! Thankfully, the mast didn't smash you!"
"F***!" Allen glanced at the environment, which was no different from his dream. He saw Leuf's figure instead of Merna's and felt the toxin that had numbed his nerves had been naturally metabolized in his body.
He instantly realized that he hadn't just slept for five minutes.
He kicked Leuf into the water on the cabin floor, got out of bed, and waded a few steps before returning and pulling Leuf out of the water.
"How long have I been asleep?!"
Leuf spat out the blood in his mouth. His face was swollen, but he was still laughing smugly.
"Seventeen hours. I thought this operation was going to fail because Mr. Allen was obviously suspicious of the mushroom bread, but I didn't expect to achieve my goal. You ate a lot when you went back to the cabin. It seems my cooking is still satisfying..."
Allen grabbed Leuf by the collar and lifted him to his face.
"Leuf, Leuf, there's more than one person to sail the ship, and there's no shortage of a chef like you. Are you really not afraid that I'll kill you??"
Leuf chuckled when he heard this and stared straight at Allen.
"I can tell you're a person who values relationships. Unlike Os, who only cares about his own business, Mr. Allen, you won't kill..."
"Still probing?"
As soon as he said this, tear! The skin on Leuf's neck suddenly split open. Leuf's face changed dramatically. He quickly grabbed Allen's hand, truly panicked.
His words came out so fast he was stumbling over them: "Mr. Allen!! I'm still useful!! I'm still useful!! I am the navigator of my adventurer team! The currents!! We are in the range of the mana vortex. Without a sail, the ship will keep heading towards the 'Main Island'!"
"And! I have information about it, the 'Ghostly Secret Sword'! I've been to the bottom of the 'Main Island.' You're also a master of the Water God Style. You need information about your enemy beforehand! Kill it! As soon as the storm clears, we can quickly repair the ship and return to the mainland!"
"After this is over, you can kill me as you please! I just need three days! Let me live for three more days! Mr. Allen!"
"Let me live for three more days!!!"
Blood spurted from Leuf's neck. Allen retracted his sword aura and threw Leuf into the water. "Where's Merna?!"
Leuf quickly covered his neck and closed the wound with his Flowing Water Secret Technique. "That clumsy, idiotic woman. I tricked her out and knocked her out, then forced her to drink some mushroom juice. I threw her in the corridor outside. Don't worry, it's a paralyzing poisonous mushroom. It won't kill her. Speaking of which, I have to thank her Barrier Spell. It blocked the wind and rain and the sound, so you had a good night's sleep. If the mast hadn't smashed the much weaker Barrier Spell, you could have slept for another..."
Allen threw Leuf towards the door. Thump! Leuf crashed into the cabin wall!
Before he even landed, Allen's figure had already appeared in the corridor outside the door.
He stepped over the broken mast and looked in the direction where he had seen Merna in his dream.
He saw the holy maiden, in her priestess uniform, floating face down in the knee-deep water. Her body was swaying on the water's surface, just like in his dream. She looked at peace.
Leuf had just stood up from the knee-deep water when his face froze.
The ship lurched again. This time, Leuf was also thrown into the water by the ship's violent lurching in the storm. He quickly pulled his head out of the water and looked up to rush towards Merna.
But as soon as he pulled his head out of the water, he saw Allen already moving and grabbing Merna.
Allen used his Sense of Flow on her and found that Merna's heart was still beating weakly. He deduced that she hadn't been drowning for too long.
He placed his palm on Merna's chest. The Flowing Water Secret Technique drove his Battle Aura, creating visible ripples in the splashing rain. Merna kept spitting out water. Two seconds later, she suddenly opened her eyes, spat out a mouthful of water, and gasped for air.
Allen casually lifted Merna by the back of her neck and dragged her towards the cabin door. "Merna, you've been poisoned. Also, I just broke your rib."
Merna was looking at her surroundings in a state of panic. When she heard Allen's words, a sharp pain shot through her chest, and she said "Huh?" in a bewildered state.
Leuf could have explained to her, but at this moment, his face was being dragged through the water by Allen, so he didn't hear their conversation at all.
"Detoxification Spell, Healing Spell."
Even if she couldn't figure out what was going on, her slow thoughts, the pain in her ribs, and the subconscious "Allen's command is the highest priority" still made her instinctively start chanting the spell.
"Beloved Mother Goddess, please heal this person's wounds and let him..."
While she was chanting, the knee-deep water in the corridor suddenly slapped her face. Then, her body came to a sudden halt, only fifty centimeters from her face. Merna was stunned for a moment, as if she was wondering why she was standing still, but her body was suddenly lower?
Then, the taut feeling of her soaked clothes being pulled from the back of her neck made her realize that she had no strength at all.
It wasn't her moving, but...
She immediately turned her head to look at Allen, who was in a squatting position, holding her in the water.
It was a pose for a power-up.
"!!!! A healing spell for a healthy body!!! AHHHHH!!!!"
BOOM!!!!
The accumulated water in the corridor was pressed into a deep pit by the violent Battle Aura. The entire cabin exploded! Amidst Merna's screams and Leuf's spitting, Allen's figure, wrapped around the two of them, plunged into the rain. The rain was hit by the figure's high-speed trajectory, forming a green arc like an archway.
Their bodies fell!
They slammed onto the deck outside! Broken wood splinters and splashing rain flew everywhere!
Allen straightened his body. With a sizzling sound in his abdomen, a miniature Healing Spell magic circle was re-engraved next to the Dragon Saint Battle Aura crystal in his abdomen.
Wailing, roaring, cursing.
A cacophony of human voices filled his ears.
The other adventurers were lying all over the deck, swaying with the waves.
It seemed they hadn't fully escaped the feeling of paralysis. Even so, when they saw Allen appear, they all looked "saved" and swayed towards him.
"Mr. Allen!! Leuf woke up Mr. Allen!!"
"We're saved!! Tornado!! Mr. Allen!! There's a tornado over there!!"
"Boss Os!! Boss Os, wake up!! We're saved!!"
Os was not unconscious. He was standing on the deck less than two meters in front of him. The mast was broken at the base and was lying on the deck, being pounded by the wind and rain. It seemed that it had been abandoned by the people beside him because it was too badly damaged to be salvaged.
He just looked at the sky to the right. Allen couldn't tell if his blood had gone cold from the rain, but even through the rain, Allen could see that his face was as pale as the snow in the attic of the Boreas manor.
There was no blood-filled hole in his chest like in the dream.
Allen glanced at his chest, then followed his gaze to the right.
The swaying ship rocked up and down. The rain seemed to sweep out strands of red light with the swaying of their bodies.
In the darkness where the clouds and the sea were intertwined, white tree-like lightning raged on the sea's surface.
But even without this light.
The distant scene was still clearly reflected in Allen's pupils:
There was no giant mana vortex from the dream.
Instead, there was a live volcano.
It rose from below the horizon. Even though the crater was covered by dense dark clouds, it still stubbornly released its light and heat from the crater. It stood on the dark shadow in the distance.
The shadow lurking below it was like a giant black dragon, stretching its ferocious body in the storm.
It was a giant island, surrounded by smaller broken islands floating on the sea like black reefs.
The core of the combined dungeon, the "Main Island," was right in front of them.
And as far as the eye could see, around the ship they were on, there were broken ships floating on the sea.
Leuf was indeed a reliable navigator. The ship got lost in the storm and was carried by the currents. It only took seventeen hours to reach the foot of the "Main Island." If it had been a clear day with a sail, they would have probably reached the shore in less than an hour.
Damn reliable.
And even more reliable was that their ship had been circling in the storm on the outskirts of the archipelago for a whole day.
The outskirts of the storm? They drifted for less than twenty-four hours and went directly to the deepest part of the dungeon?
What a bunch of crap about the outskirts of the storm. This is absolutely insane!
The whole damn ship is full of 'ghosts'!
"Mr. Allen!!"
A few adventurers scrambled over, grabbing Allen's legs and pointing to the side, trembling.
"Mr... Mr. Allen, look, over there, a tor... tor... tornado... help us..."
"Yeah, help us. It took Leuf so long to wake you up. That son of a b****, how many poisonous mushrooms did he put in the bread... We should kill him!!"
"Stop it!! Tornado!! Forget about Leuf for now, later! Mr. Allen, you... Ah!!!"
With a scream, the nearest adventurer was kicked hard by Allen. His body exploded into a bloody mist in the rain and shot out! He vanished into the dark, turbulent flow of the storm.
In the direction where he was thrown, about two to three hundred meters away, a small tornado was coming towards them on the black sea. The tornado was indeed small. In a world of supernatural abilities, if everyone had used their Battle Aura to resist, they might have been fine.
But the problem was that a broken ship, much larger than the one they were on, was being spun around by the tornado and was heading towards their ship.
They could resist the tornado, but if the ships collided and they all fell into the water, they would all be finished before they even got to the "Main Island."
But in this moment of life and death, all the adventurers were silent, staring at Allen in a daze.
Allen, on the other hand, remembered the dream where these guys were cheering "we're saved" and then were sent flying by a piece of canvas. He looked around at the adventurers. When he had ordered them to repair the ship and return to the mainland on the mountain, the expressions on each of their faces in that moment of silence were being peeled away in his memory, inch by inch.
Those expressions, were they really surprise?
No, they were clearly the unwillingness of someone who had unintentionally obtained a 'blade' but found themselves unable to use it to kill.
Allen actually laughed out loud.
People really do laugh when they're at their wits' end.
"Haha... Hahaha!! You guys are so good at this, so good!! Oh, my God, you've really opened my eyes, you've opened my eyes!"
He grabbed Leuf's hair and lifted him in front of him.
"Hey, Leuf, so you called me to help you out? Huh?"
Leuf gulped and tried to force a smile to speak.
But he was thrown into the air by Allen and kicked to Os, who was standing quietly beside the mast. He picked up Krayem, who was still unconscious and floating on the deck, and spoke.
"Hey, Os, give me a reason to save you guys... no, that's wrong."
A smile spread across Allen's mouth. With his wet, grayish hair, he looked sinister.
"Give me a reason not to kill you guys."
Os stared blankly at the approaching tornado. He glanced at the adventurers around him, then looked down at Leuf, who was still smiling like a fool and spitting blood. He gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and held it to Leuf's neck. He spoke quickly.
"Mr. Allen! I... we really wanted to return to the mainland! This brat had no good intentions. The bread was poisoned! Everyone was paralyzed..."
"Stop! Disgusting! So disgusting!" Allen pointed his finger at each of them. His speed was extremely fast, but his words were incredibly clear. Every word pierced the rain and entered everyone's ears.
"One by one, you guys are so f***ing disgusting!"
He pointed at Os. "The person who wants revenge is indecisive and only picks on the weak. The last one was Merna, and you could provoke her. This time it's me, and you're pretending to be a neutral person here."
He pointed at the adventurers. "You rotten scoundrels who saw a capable person and wanted to cling to them to make a profit, but you all kept quiet, afraid of offending the other person. And now, you see someone taking action, and you all pretend to be fools."
He pointed at Leuf. "You bastard who realized everyone's intentions and pretended to be a blind man."
He pointed his finger at the tornado a hundred meters away. "If I hadn't been asleep, would you have been tricking me into a circle with your Divine Strikes, only to find that we've plunged right in front of the 'Main Island'? And afterwards, you'd say that the ship got lost in the storm? Then you'd throw out a scapegoat to deal with the situation? And then you'd follow me to get some benefits?"
"Leuf? Do you f***ing know what's coming to you?? You've got some nerve, huh? Huh??"
Leuf spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed on Os's pants.
He said the same thing. "Mr. Allen! I'm useful! You can kill me in three days!"
Allen withdrew his smile and looked at Leuf. "Idiot."
Leuf quickly lowered his head like a quail.
But Os looked like he had just woken up from a dream. In the even more intense storm, he looked at the tornado that was almost upon them and the giant ship that was about to collide with them. He roared in a low voice.
"We are willing to clear the way for you on the 'Main Island.' You can wait until we are all dead before you make your move!!!!!"
His words were extremely fast, said in one breath, as if he had gritted his teeth.
All the adventurers were stunned by this.
But Allen laughed.
He took a step to Os's side. Clang! He pulled out his sword.
He swung his hand and made a practice swing!
The Dragon Saint Battle Aura crystal in his abdomen suddenly constricted. Strands of Dragon Saint Battle Aura, wrapped around seventy percent of his total Battle Aura, turned into a sword aura that was more than ten meters long and roared out!
The deck was furrowed. The sword aura left the ship and was like a fish meeting water. It plunged into the wind and swelled. In just one breath, it turned into a giant transparent sword aura that was enough to split the rain curtain between heaven and earth.
Its momentum only increased as it went, crashing into the approaching ship and tornado. But in that moment, in the eyes of everyone,
There was no sign of the sword aura being on par with the tornado.
The dark vortex of the tornado just trembled slightly, then it was split into two by this sword. The tornado instantly broke apart! It swayed a few times...
And then it suddenly turned into a fierce hurricane that slammed onto the deck!
People were sent flying! The ship still came towards them from inertia.
The next moment!
BOOM!!!!!!
A huge hole was gouged out of the rain! The rain on the deck was also pushed into a giant silent zone by the sudden wind. Broken wooden planks scattered and flew all over the ship.
At some point, Allen was standing at the edge of the ship. With a 5% beginner-level magic, he calmly 'received' the approaching ship's hull from a distance.
The two ships docked steadily, without much shaking.
Only then did the adventurers climb up from the ground. Seeing this scene, they were stunned for a second, then they all opened their mouths to flatter and cheer.
A chant came from the wind and rain.
—"Divine Descent."
Everyone's face lit up with joy. They all looked up at the sky.
They were about to see the sun!
A golden mana vortex in the sky quickly formed with the chant. A giant golden lightning bolt slanted down from the sky, connecting heaven and earth, turning the entire ship golden!
Bathing in the phantom and real electric glow, everyone did a mental calculation.
Although Mr. Allen was threatening them, he was a God-level mage. To break through the dungeon, he would definitely need warriors to escort him.
There were so many monsters in the dungeon. As long as they were careful to save their lives in the early stages, once they reached the bottom of the dungeon, Mr. Allen would cast a "Divine Descent," and all the monsters would die. How many people would actually die?
Moreover, his sword skills were so strong...
There was no need for anyone to die. You see, he's just a...
Kind-hearted person.
The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared. They saw that the dark clouds in the sky, which should have been dispersed, only had a piece missing with the disappearance of the golden mana vortex. There was no scene of sunlight falling from the sky.
The dark clouds were still there, and the rain was still falling from the sky, chilling everyone to the bone.
Allen's mocking voice came from the wind and rain.
"Still celebrating."
"Greedy and foolish, you won't give up until you hit the wall."
"How can this combined dungeon be as simple as you think?"
"Now, do you still want to go to the 'Main Island'?"
The adventurers all looked stunned, unable to say a word to Allen. Os never looked at Allen's Divine Strike. He just looked down at his shoes, his face pale.
Someone stammered.
"Mr... Mr. Allen, this... this..."
Clang!
A sword fell from the sky and landed in front of him.
Buzz!!!!
Allen stood at the edge of the deck, touching the broken railing. He turned his head to look at everyone. The electric glow in his hand flashed for a moment, then went out.
He didn't care about the rustling sound of the new miniature Divine Strike magic circle being re-engraved in his abdomen.
He just tilted his head and looked at the pale-faced adventurers with interest, smiling.
"Regret? It's too late."
"I am a very reasonable person."
"So."
"Today, whether you want to go to this island or not, you must."
"If you break through the dungeon, you live."
"If you don't..."
"Then you die here."
"You get what you want, so what is there to complain about?"
