However, Lin Ruo was quite skeptical that even with their mastery of Spirit World traversal, the irritable old pigeons would still be late.
After all, just like how the Nighthawks are all clumsy, cooing is an inherent trait of the irritable old pigeons (comical.JPG).
Speaking of which, is the Evernight Goddess clumsy?
Lin Ruo couldn't help but imagine the Evernight Goddess doing handicrafts. He felt that if he continued to complain, he might be affected by the hidden one. He shook his head and led his companions into the Spirit World.
The Spirit World was as usual, like a kaleidoscope of colors. Here, you could see all colors becoming vivid and distinct, overlapping with a faint Gray Fog shrouding their surfaces.
The Spirit World was not without its levels; even though it looked like a beautiful dream, if you looked up here, you could see seven bright, clear lights of different colors slowly wriggling deep within the Spirit World, high above.
These were the Seven Lights of the Spirit World, the seven devoted followers of the past Lords of the Mysteries.
He wondered if Klein would still encounter the large orange cat that wanted to hang itself at the door of his enemy this time... Lin Ruo retracted his gaze and gave Klein a meaningful look. The latter looked back with a puzzled expression, asking with his eyes:
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Lin Ruo returned a look and led the group towards the ruins where the Sea God Kalvetua was located.
Before long, a faintly visible collapsed structure appeared before them.
Unlike the original story where Klein encountered a giant "jellyfish" attempting to occupy the ruins, looking into the ruins from here, one could only see lightning continuously leaking from various cracks in the structure. Even without approaching, one could hear sounds of unwilling, painful, yet frantic and angry roars.
Undoubtedly, the Sea God Kalvetua was not yet dead. Although it was difficult for him to maintain his existence due to the Book of Calamity being taken, and he would likely perish within a few days, at least he was still alive now, and had become even more insane and aggressive due to his impending demise.
"So, I still don't understand why the Rebel Army would worship such a Lunatic," Lin Ruo mused, stroking his chin in a feigned contemplative manner. He then looked at Medici beside him and said with a teasing yet serious tone:
"Go on, Little Red, use your flaming spear."
"I think you've become really annoying lately," Medici retorted grumpily. He still looked somewhat lazy, seemingly unconcerned about the upcoming battle. He merely curled his lips into a smile and said:
"Perfect, since you've forgotten most of your combat skills after losing your memory, I'll help you recall them after we deal with this sea serpent."
"Ah, this..." Lin Ruo, who was just being playful as usual, blinked and watched Medici transform into a ball of flame and vanish. A few seconds later, a loud bang erupted from the collapsed ruins, with flames and silver-white lightning appearing alternately, accompanied by the painful and despairing roars of a certain sea serpent.
"Did I... go too far?" Lin Ruo rubbed his chin and looked at Klein beside him, asking.
"Be confident, remove 'did I'," Klein almost suppressed a laugh, but his eyes clearly conveyed the words: "You had it coming."
"Hmm..." Lin Ruo showed a thoughtful expression. The next second, he suddenly put his arm around Klein's shoulder like a good brother and said with a smile, "Gehrman, haven't you had combat training in a long time?"
Klein, who was initially gloating, stiffened, a bad premonition rising within him.
"You know, in the Domain of frontal combat, Hunters are among the best. Since Little Red plans to help me recall my combat skills, let's make it a two-for-one deal and have him guide you as well."
Lin Ruo's smile was gentle, kind, and radiant, making one feel as if bathed in spring breeze, but his eyes clearly conveyed a message:
"Let's die together."
"This... wouldn't be good. Mr. Red doesn't really like me, and isn't he very busy?" Klein said with a stiff smile, attempting a final struggle.
"Don't worry, he has enough perspective for that. As for being busy... I'm not asking him to train you every day, just a short-term special training, it won't take up many days," Lin Ruo continued with a smile, completely unwilling to give Klein a chance to struggle.
"Heh heh." Klein, realizing he couldn't struggle, had a bleak expression on his face.
Siatas and Mobet, who witnessed all this: ...
Although they didn't quite understand what was happening, it felt very scary.
As they spoke, the massive commotion in the ruins gradually subsided, indicating that the battle had reached its end.
"Couldn't even last half a minute, is this the Sea God? I love it, I love it." Lin Ruo, who was just enacting a 'master-disciple' banter with Klein, instantly shifted his attention back to the Sea God ruins, teasing.
"The gap between Sequence 3 and a King of Angels..." Klein also looked towards the Sea God ruins, showing a thoughtful expression.
However, despite the teasing, Lin Ruo was not in a hurry to check the battle. Instead, he waited for a while longer, and only when no other movements came from the ruins did he say:
"Let's go, we'll collect the corpse of the Sea God Kalvetua."
The group then approached the faintly visible collapsed structure. With Lin Ruo present, they naturally entered the ruins without much effort.
Perhaps because it had been located at the bottom of the real world's ocean for a long time, many parts of this structure had already collapsed, and the remaining ones were mostly in a semi-collapsed "dangerous building" state.
Among the many collapsed structures, the most striking was probably the central area of this construction. There, a huge pillar, inscribed with many mystical symbols and patterns, extended from the structure. It was clear that it was originally the core support of these ruins, but unfortunately, it had already broken, and only its quality of blending with the Spirit World had not disappeared.
Lin Ruo and the others passed through numerous collapsed structures and arrived outside the hall where the central pillar was located. He could see many grey powders on the ground, which were the ashes of the "Sea God Guards" who had been burned.
Kalvetua was undoubtedly not a benevolent "god," but a complete mad god. This was not only reflected in his usual actions of arbitrarily stirring up winds and seas and accepting live sacrifices from believers, but also in his attitude towards loyal believers.
Those who could stay in these Sea God ruins were undoubtedly fanatical believers of the Sea God Kalvetua, but these fanatical believers, after entering here, did not receive blessings. Instead, almost every one of them was transformed by the Sea God Kalvetua into monsters with no reason, who only knew how to obey orders and guard the Sea God.
And these monsters had now met their deserved end.
Lin Ruo withdrew his gaze from the ashes, feeling a little emotional, but without any pity.
Although he had goodwill towards the Rebel Army, and although these Sea God Guards seemed pitiable, Lin Ruo truly had no good feelings for this group of Kalvetua's most devout believers.
After all, before these fanatical believers were transformed into Sea God Guards, almost every single one of them had done many immoral things for Kalvetua, with live sacrifices being commonplace. Their deaths were completely unlamentable.
Lin Ruo's gaze then fell inside the hall, where he could see the giant sea serpent lying motionless on the ground. Medici, with his arms crossed, leaned casually against a pillar. Seeing Lin Ruo look at him, he raised the corner of his mouth, a wild smile spreading across his face, and said:
"Hurry up and finish, I'm waiting to help you recall your combat skills."
