Dimensional Codex System I M Really Not A Cultist
/ Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist! Chapter 287
Chapter 287: Chapter 286: The Enemy Following Behind Chapter 287: Chapter 286: The Enemy Following Behind “Ting-ling—-!”
With the sound of the Triangle Tin Staff ringing out, beneath the glow of Radiance, the sunken ship that had blocked the path of the Black Crow Ship suddenly burst into flames!
Yes, flames!
The crew watched wide-eyed in amazement as clusters of water-blue fire appeared on those submerged wreckages. Soon, the fires grew larger and fiercer. They could clearly see the massive hulls engulfed in flame, as if they were burning in the air, not underwater!
Where the water-blue flames passed, the once impenetrable hulls, even those covered with seaweed and moss, quietly vanished. A string of blue photon particles emerged from the sea's surface, intertwining and rising slowly like thick smoke from a blazing fire. For a moment, the Black Crow Ship seemed to be sailing through a sea of blue light, a sublime blend of mystery and beauty.
“Goddess of Order above…”
Upon witnessing this scene, many sailors dropped to their knees in prayer, while Captain Fox gaped, speechless.
“She, she's so powerful…”
Ogrande was also dumbfounded, unsure of what to say. Unlike the less cultured sailors, as the future star of the Platinum Family, Ogrande may have had a difficult personality, but she had met many important figures from the Sanctuary and even attended numerous prayer events organized by them. But even the Cardinals in Red had never put on a display quite like Black Katie. At that moment, she felt like the girl in the white robe standing at the bow, an angel-like figure. Under her staff, everything must submit!
In just a short while, all the vessels that led to the port of Soul Bay had been completely transformed and vanished. It wasn't until then that Black Katie put away her staff and stepped back.
“Set sail!”
Captain Fox quickly came to his senses and shouted the command. Although he was curious about the power Black Katie had shown, what mattered most to him at the moment was to find a place to dock and repair the ship!
Soon, the Black Crow Ship set sail again, heading towards the distant port. And no one noticed that shortly after they left the area, the previously dull ocean began to change again. Quickly, the Sea of Illusions, colorful and void of life as they had seen before, silently reappeared.
“Huh?”
At that moment, Nymph frowned, showing a hint of unease.
“What's wrong?”
Seeing his Little Angel's expression, Fang Zheng asked. Upon hearing Fang Zheng's question, Nymph hesitated before responding.
“Master, that ship that was following us… I can no longer sense it. It's as if something has cut off my perception.”
“Oh?”
Hearing Nymph's reply, Fang Zheng paused but then looked around and relaxed again.
“When it disappeared before, was the other party still within a safe distance?”
“Yes.”
“Then let's not worry about it for now.”
Fang Zheng thought for a moment and then decided to put the issue aside for the time being. Although he did not know who the other party was, he was sure they had no good intentions. But since they hadn't immediately taken action, Fang Zheng wasn't in a hurry. Besides, he wasn't worried they would follow them in. There was only one clear seaway that Black Katie had cleared; if the others wanted to follow, they would have to take this path or else they would be completely trapped by the surrounding wrecks, and then they wouldn't be a problem at all.
Meanwhile, a white giant wheel was advancing at sea. Unlike the ramshackle Black Crow Ship, this white giant had three decks and eighty enormous, pitch-black Magitech Cannons arrayed like the fangs of a beast on either side. The crew, unlike the ragged sailors, wore military uniforms and moved precisely — proper military men!
At a glance, anyone could tell it was a Magitech Warship!
“Report, the target has disappeared!”
The man in the white navy uniform looked alertly at the Magitech radar in front of him, then lifted his head to look at the captain standing behind him and the elegantly dressed man sitting by his side — if Fang Zheng were here, he would recognize this man sipping fine wine as Ambassador Luden, the one who had tried to forcefully take away Nanali and Kuliya at the Alchemy Workshop!
“Disappeared? How could it disappear?”
Ambassador Luden frowned upon hearing this, inwardly he had little interest in this mission. To Luden, he didn't see much value in two young girls. But his backer didn't seem to agree. Once Luden heard Fang Zheng and others had set sail, he immediately received orders from his sponsor to lead a team to intercept them and bring them back to the Kingdom of Flame!
To this end, they even deployed an Escort Ship for Luden's use!
Although Ambassador Luden couldn't understand what was so valuable about the young girl, since his sponsor had even mobilized a warship from the Empire, it meant his mission had to succeed, failure was not an option.
Unfortunately, along the way, Ambassador Luden had not found any good opportunities; after all, this was the territory of the Kingdom of the Holy Church, where vessels occasionally passed by. If anything went wrong, it could lead to a diplomatic dispute between two nations. At such a time, the big figures wouldn't be too affected, but a small fry like himself would certainly be thrown under the bus.
Therefore, after learning of Fang Zheng's group's destination, Ambassador Luden originally intended to follow them until they were about to reach the Misty Seas, then take action. After all, that place was complicated, with frequent shipwrecks and disappearances. If it were there, he could act freely without any reservations.
But now …
“Where did they disappear?”
Upon hearing that his targets had vanished, Luden immediately tensed up.
“Soul Bay.”
“Soul Bay?”
After hearing the captain's report, Ambassador Luden was briefly stunned, but he quickly made up his mind and waved his hand firmly.
“Fine, we'll go to Soul Bay too!”
“Master, are we really going to Soul Bay?”
Facing Luden's orders, the captain hesitated as well; after all, Soul Bay was notoriously eerie, a place that most vessels would go out of their way to avoid.
“… Let me go ask about this first.”
Hearing the captain's question, Ambassador Luden also began to feel nervous. Of course, he knew that if he managed to handle this matter, his career would soar. But if he messed up, at worst, he would just lose his position and return home to become an idle man. However, if he continued the pursuit, his life could very well be at risk.
He understood the importance of his life over his career.
However, the pity was that this was not for him to decide.
Leaving the captain's quarters, Luden quickly arrived at the door of a luxurious cabin at the rear of the warship. He hesitated for a moment before extending a hand and gently knocking on the door.
“What is it?”
A low, bone-chillingly cold voice soon came from inside the door, which made Luden shiver uncontrollably. He knew that this expert was specially prepared by his financier to deal with that girl from the Legendary Domain. In fact, he was the real leader of this mission. However, he preferred to stay out of the limelight, which was why Luden was allowed to strut around pompously. But now… the matter was clearly beyond Luden's control.
“It's like this, Master. We just received a report that the target vessel suddenly disappeared. What do you think…”
“Disappeared? Where did they disappear?”
“Soul Bay…”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing Luden's response, the voice raised slightly, seeming a bit puzzled, but then it sneered coldly.
“So, what are you waiting for?”
“You mean…”
“Follow them. The order from above is clear: we need to see them alive or bring back their bodies. Otherwise, do you think I'm here to vacation?”
“Yes, of course! I'll convey your orders immediately!”
With that, Ambassador Luden shivered profoundly and quickly turned to leave.
It seems I'm truly doomed this time!
Even though he had anticipated it, Ambassador Luden still felt an urge to weep without any tears.
Dad, save me!
