Above the Gray Fog, Klein, watching the battle below through the images condensed from the prayer light points, couldn't help but exclaim:
"Knowledge truly is power."
"They can even conjure railguns with bare hands. I wonder if the Great Emperor's Gundam has been built yet. Hmm... Probably not, I've never heard any rumors about that."
However, is there something on the Golden Dream that is attracting the Death Announcer? Why is it so persistent in trying to catch up to the Golden Dream?
As he pondered, Klein had already turned his gaze towards the Golden Dream, but due to the Gray Fog's limitations, he could only focus his attention near Leyton, unable to observe the situation on the sea surface in too much detail.
Beneath the dark clouds, the flickering electric arcs vanished without a trace, with only occasional flashes within the clouds, as if the lightning in this stormy weather was somewhat lacking in power.
"Frost!" Leyton, his eyes shimmering with a faint blue light, softly chanted a Dragonese phrase.
The next moment, streaks of crystal-clear light descended from the sky, landing on the sea below, and on the Death Announcer. The surrounding seawater rapidly froze, and the Death Announcer was covered in countless ice prisms.
The Death Announcer, which had nearly capsized from the previous railgun bombardment, was momentarily trapped in place by layers of ice.
High in the sky, Leyton, surrounded by specks of starlight, had his eyes veiled by a grayish-white film.
He was using his divination ability to ascertain why the Death Announcer was pursuing them so relentlessly. The reason couldn't just be the unverified information and the recent attack; it shouldn't warrant such an extreme response.
Leyton followed the traces and saw a scene:
In a somewhat crude and dimly lit bar, a figure covered in black fur, whose original appearance was indistinguishable, was loudly proclaiming to those around him:
"It's said that the treasure contains a High-Sequence characteristic from the Abyss Pathway. What a pity, why isn't it the Pathway I'm on?"
The scene abruptly shifted, and he saw one strange-acting sea fish after another, following a large sailing ship on the surface of the sea as if in a relay race.
The scene changed again; a blurry object was adhering to the bottom of a ship, somewhat resembling a mutated barnacle.
Its body was two or three times larger than that of its typical counterparts, a bizarre bright red, and it had grown tufts of short gray fur, clinging tightly to the ship's bottom as if it had merged with the vessel.
The next moment, the scene abruptly zoomed out, revealing the full appearance of the ship to which the strange barnacle was attached: it was the Golden Dream, reflecting a golden hue in the sunlight.
Leyton frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled as to how the other party had managed to evade his premonitions and Vice Admiral Iceberg's detection, placing that Abyss-infused item onto the barnacle clinging to the Golden Dream's hull.
Senor possessed a Mystical Item of the Fate pathway. Under the blessing of luck, he coincidentally avoided detection, and he even left behind wolf fur made with Dark-type spells that had anti-divination properties.
Taking a deep breath, Leyton raised his hand and made a grasping motion, then slightly turned his wrist, opening a Door in the air leading to the Golden Dream. His figure then disappeared into it.
The next moment, his figure appeared on the Golden Dream, his body tinged with gold, spreading outwards in layers.
Pure and clear light enveloped the entire ship, illuminating every corner, leaving no trace of Darkness, no shadow, and nothing hidden.
Immediately, his figure instantly became transparent, then transformed into brilliant starlight, surging through the deck and flowing towards the lowest part of the ship's hold.
Although there was no communication, Edwina instantly reacted, realizing that someone had infiltrated the Golden Dream!
Her eyes were instantly covered with a faint blue, and relying on some arrangements on the ship, she quickly found the crew member possessed by the Wraith.
The next moment, a magnificent, pure, and blazing pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping a Sailor on the deck towards the bow.
His hands uncontrollably clasped his own neck, one in front of the other, and his two eyes each reflected a middle-aged man wearing an old tricorn hat, with deeply sunken eyes and a frighteningly pale complexion.
He was about forty years old, with two black mustaches on his lip and a sinister smile on his face.
Before Edwina's simulated divine light could force him out of the crew member's body, he reacted even faster, directly controlling the possessed crew member to reach out and snap his own neck.
After he broke free from the Wraith's possession, his figure rapidly faded and disappeared.
"Mirror Blink is forbidden here!"
Edwina, at some point, held a brass-colored scale in her hand. She spoke with great authority, declaring a prohibition, followed by a second, and a third:
"Wraith possession is forbidden here!"
"Wraiths and Specters are forbidden here!"
"Floating is forbidden here!"
The continuous prohibitions made her face look somewhat strained. The Mystical Item in her hand was called the Law Scale, crafted from a Disciplinary Knight's characteristic.
Sequence 6 Bru Walls could not perfectly craft Mystical Items of this level, and the negative effects of this Law Scale were quite strong; when a prohibition was imposed on a target, the wielder would also suffer a prohibition of the same intensity.
However, this was the Golden Dream, and even if she was weakened to the same degree, she had enough confidence.
Senor's figure, which had originally faded, reappeared nearby. His Spirit Body trembled, becoming somewhat illusory, seemingly having suffered immense damage.
His originally nimble Spirit Body was suddenly burdened with a layer of weight; he couldn't even float in the air and fell directly onto the deck.
He then transformed back into a flesh-and-blood body, and all the negative effects on him instantly vanished.
The next moment, his foot slipped, and his body, having just landed, uncontrollably stumbled to the side.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets trailing bright streaks of light passed through where his chest, head, and abdomen had just been, landing on the deck behind him, leaving small but extremely deep circular holes.
Senor, who had fallen to the ground, rolled twice, and a layer of chilling frost spread out from beneath him.
The next moment, he lost control over the ice, and the spreading trend of the frost was instantly halted.
On the other side, Jodeson, who was making grasping motions with his hands, slightly curled his lips. As expected of a Sequence 5 Wraith, his Beyonder ability was truly difficult to steal. It's a pity he didn't manage to steal the powerful Wraith's Scream.
Jodeson slightly raised his hand, and two slender ice crystal arrows quickly condensed on it.
As he made a flicking motion, the ice crystal arrows shot out.
Senor was forced back two steps by Blue's powerful hot weapon fire. Jodeson's ice crystal arrows and a flame spear thrown by another crew member collided, creating a burst of mist.
"Damn it, Pisk, what are you doing?!"
"Shit! I should be saying that to you!"
The crew member named Pisk immediately started arguing with Jodeson.
Edwina slightly narrowed her eyes. She noticed something unusual and immediately prepared to change the judgment she was about to utter.
With such bizarre luck, a 'Confinement' effect applied to a certain area would be more effective.
Pale blue fireballs, emitting a strong sulfurous smell, came through the air in groups.
"Captain! Attack from the Death Announcer!"
On the stern deck, Second Mate Orpheus, who was on alert for the Death Announcer, shouted loudly behind him.
Damn it, with such a dense cluster of fireballs, even if I am a Solar High Priest, it would be difficult to block.
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, several bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, precisely hitting the weak points of the flame cluster.
For a moment, the sea between the Death Announcer and the Golden Dream was filled with electric arcs and firelight, like a grand fireworks display.
Orpheus stared blankly at the fireworks blooming in front of him, still smelling a pungent sulfurous odor at the tip of his nose.
He turned to look behind him. The surrounding crew members, including Captain Edwina, who was preparing to activate the Golden Dream's protective spells, were all somewhat astonished by the lightning just now.
Above the Gray Fog, within that magnificent and ancient palace.
Klein helplessly put down the peculiar crown he was tightly clutching; his spirituality was almost unable to sustain itself.
Senor, who had infiltrated the Golden Dream, had already been discovered. Al solving the remaining issues should not be a problem.
After a brief thought, he materialized his usual yellow crystal pendant and performed a simple divination.
"Phew~ The result is good, so there's no problem then."
He murmured to himself, then used his remaining spirituality to envelop himself, simulating the sensation of falling, and exited the space above the Gray Fog.
On the White Agate, Klein washed his face with clear water again, rubbing his face twice with his hands. Relying on his Faceless ability, he adjusted his somewhat pale complexion, caused by excessive spirituality consumption, back to normal.
Only then did he disperse the Wall of Spirituality he had set up around him and walk out of the washroom.
Bugs Bunny shook the pale yellow paper in front of him, which was covered in his squiggly words and some strange rabbit stick figures.
This was a letter paper Leyton had torn from a Book Messenger, given to Bugs Bunny to carry with him, and it was also their usual way of communicating.
After Klein came out of the washroom, he glanced at him, then, after retracting his gaze, glanced again with some confusion.
He repeated this action several times, and a humanized expression of contemplation appeared on his furry face.
Klein restrained the urge to touch his face, looking at Bugs Bunny with confusion and asking:
"What's wrong?"
Bugs Bunny, with a pondering, thoughtful look, said:
"You look so bad, but your face looks normal… How strange!"
He forgot that this rabbit's previous Sequence was Doctor. The Faceless's ability couldn't fool him; he could directly judge a person's health status through their aura.
Klein was momentarily silent. Before he could think of a good excuse to gloss over it, he heard Bugs Bunny say with a sudden realization:
"Oh, I know! You have kidney deficiency!"
"That's why you keep going to the washroom, and your complexion is so bad!"
"Pfft!"
Klein's expression froze. He heard Danitz's laughter from the side, which he tried to hold back but couldn't completely.
Very well, do you want to perform the rabbit trick with me?
