CHAPTER 500: CHAPTER 382: SAINT BYRON AND THE LAST OBSTACLE_2

They were also the most addicted to fishing. Wherever they went, even if it was across the Nether River, they’d have to cast their line a couple of times before moving on.

The third type is called the ’extreme experience’ type. They enjoy the thrill of the moment the fish bites.

This kind of angler usually falls into two subtypes. One chases the frequency of the thrill; the other chases the intensity, such as targeting enormous creatures!

If the Captain really does manage to fish up that largest octopus in the world today, then he would undoubtedly be the God of Fishing in this world.

That sounds much more imposing than any Holy Spirit.

However, as he got excited, Violet, who was beside him, glared at him, causing him to involuntarily shrink his neck.

Aside from the tender and lovely side she showed Byron, in front of others, the girl was always an ice-cold beauty who killed without batting an eye.

Gus’s reverence for Her Royal Highness the Princess surpassed that of any Holy Spirit by far.

But indeed, now was not the time to relax. The situation might look very good, but this was still a battlefield. The enemy was only being held back by forces of equal power, not actually dead. Plus, the human allies didn’t seem to be that reliable.

Take, for instance, that ’Sailboat Fanatic’ who loves ships to the point of madness.

He was engaging in a fleet battle with his ideal wife, the Dragonhead Ship – Hall of Valor, trying to conquer her by force. At the same time, like a playboy who dates two women at once, he couldn’t help but glue his eyes to the now radiant Golden Deer.

"The Golden Deer? Lift sails, mixed-sail configuration, flat deck, prow and stern posts, V-shaped hull, 5:1 length-to-width ratio... all designs I’ve never seen before! Moreover, it’s a Sacred Relics Warship? The first Tudor mixed-sail ship in the world? Special effect: World’s Fastest Three-Master? See Ship Fast? And Ageless Over Time? A ship that serves across eight generations, outlasting its owners! AH! AH! AH! Such a beauty indeed exists in this world? Every aspect of the design has cemented itself in my heart! My beauty, can I be the stumbling block on your journey of being single?"

The professional appraisal ability of a Fifth Order legendary Shipwright for sailing ships definitely wouldn’t lose to any Sailing Logbook by a hair. With every piece of information he identified, his eyes sparkled even brighter. In the end, his eyes were so bright they were frightening, like whale oil lamps. It was as if he saw a peerless beauty casting amorous glances at him. The "beauties" he had collected before instantaneously fell out of favor, ruthlessly tossed to the back of his mind.

Although the Dragonhead Warship boasted a Ship Spirit, its design was undoubtedly outdated. The Golden Deer, though spiritless, was the culmination of this era’s sailing ship design. Each has its own strengths, as the saying goes.

’Sailing Ship Collector’ Mordent Gray, GULP. GULP. swallowing his saliva, kept glancing back and forth, shaking with excitement.

Although the Golden Deer isn’t a Legendary Warship and hasn’t birthed the Ship Spirit I love most, snatching it to become my lover, my concubine, is already more than enough. Moreover, as a Sacred Relics Warship that has been refined by the collective subconscious Spirituality of humanity, its Foundation is more robust than any Wonder Battleship. Under my day-and-night tender care, it will eventually birth a Ship Spirit. Such high-level warships are too rare. Not a single one escapes the control of major powers, and I absolutely can’t miss the one right before my eyes. Besides...

Mordent clenched the bronze ship’s wheel-shaped Miracle he wore on his chest.

This Forbidden Knowledge within the Heirloom Miracle, the ’Theseus Ship Spirit Ritual,’ besides allowing one to turn themselves into a Ship Spirit, also possesses a forbidden ritual that can stimulate the potential of a Wonder Battleship, causing it to naturally give birth to a Ship Spirit. This Miracle was something I stumbled upon during an adventure. Its abilities are extraordinary, and to this day, I haven’t fully grasped its use.

Seeing the opposing Dragonhead Warship suddenly charge ferociously towards the Golden Deer, Mordent Gray instantly realized the Golden Deer was still entangled with the enemy. If he wanted the warship, he had to wait until after the battle to stealthily steal it.

As for the already formidable owners of the two warships he eyed? Just kill them! HISSS. Thinking of it like this made it even more thrilling. GAHAHA... Victory must come first now.

"Beautiful darling, what are you doing? No matter if I’ve two-timed with two hundred ships or three hundred, there can only ever be one voice in my harem. You sisters must get along peacefully, okay?"

He immediately raised his hand and pointed. A murky glow of Black Sorcery shot instantaneously into the hull.

[Black Sorcery·Seasickness Curse]

Sailors who traverse ocean trade routes all know that turbulent seas very easily cause seasickness, and severe seasickness can even be fatal, causing an extremely agonizing death. His Forbidden Book contained many similar Black Sorceries: [Animate Ropes], [Noose Hell], [Dragonbone Distortion], [Decay Bone Mist]...

With a single spell, the Ship Spirit was completely unharmed, but the Kin onboard and a group of Fourth Order Mythical Creatures conducting a ritual were all dizzy and disoriented. The most severe cases had even fainted on the spot.

Inadvertently, the diminishing force of the tentacles’ pull brought Luanyun City even closer to reality.

The faces of the members of the two Heretical Cults turned pale.

"Not good!"

Several of their same-level peers fighting one-on-one would find it difficult to determine a victor in a short time. At this moment, not only was the Golden Deer restraining the final round of Nightmares, but once it managed to pull those Ghost Battleships out, regardless of whom those warships originally belonged to, their first target would undoubtedly be these cultists!

No longer paying heed to why such a bizarre scene had emerged—one where even Old Gods struggled to pull—Dagon and Bonaparte, two Fifth-Order Pseudo-Gods, rushed to intervene together. Their only chance now was to sink the Golden Deer and turn the tide against all odds.

But at this moment, atop the Golden Deer, a figure identical to the Pirate King leaped three meters high, shrieking shrilly, "Brother, save me!"

The Pirate King, who was already fiercely battling Dagon, immediately recognized the person.

"Is that Halding?!"

In the eyes of the Ocean Throne, anything was a justifiable price for his supreme power, including his own brother. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have disregarded the distressing news from his home for months, paying no attention to Blue Hair. Besides being confident enough in his title as the Pirate King, the most crucial factor was not wanting to delay the progress of exploring the New Continent. But now, if his dream were a scale, his brother’s life was at one end, and the balance of the battlefield... also lay there. If that descended Holy Spirit, the Sea Hunter Byron Tudor, couldn’t withstand the pressure, the entire battlefield would collapse in an instant, and his dream of a Pirate Kingdom would become unattainable. Naturally, the resentment from damaging his Pirate Group, stealing his Sea Monster, and capturing his brother seemed insignificant by comparison.

For both public and private reasons, he had no choice but to go all out. He lifted the Fischer Slash Sword and roared, "HA! Dagon, take another strike from me!"

At the same time, that Giant Species Sea King Dragon stubbornly bit the tail of the Father of the School of Sharks, preventing the two Fifth Order beings from finding an opportunity to strike foully.

With no other choice, only the few Fourth Order experts on the Dragonhead Ship could muster enough high-end power to take down the Golden Deer.

Below the Abyssal Horror Dagon, there had originally been eight Fourth Order Mythical Creatures, representing all the top forces of the Deep Dive Church on the Southern Continent. Byron had killed one Divine Son and subdued one Goddess, leaving only six.

Yemengade, who was responsible for overseeing matters, was almost driven mad by one unexpected event after another.

"Back in Black Tide Town, when we tried to kill him, the whale oil workshop exploded! This time, when we try to kill him, a Holy Spirit suddenly descends! I don’t believe he can always be this lucky! Bod, the Light God, and Hod, the Dark God! You two, go and kill the Sea Hunter for me! He’s also a Bayfolk. I grant you permission to bring the Divine King and Heavenly Queen masks, which have special effects against Bayfolk. At any cost, bring me his head!"

"Yes."

The two brothers shook their heads, still feeling a bit of seasickness. Each took a Deity Mask from the wall and, SWOOSH, shot into the sky.

Byron, through the Goddess’s eyes, naturally saw the adversaries’ movements and knew this was the final obstacle to his fishing operation.

The Twins of Light and Darkness, huh?

In Bayfolk mythology, Light and Darkness were twins—one cheerful, one gloomy. Their parents were... the Divine King Woden and the Heavenly Queen Frigg!

Then, looking at the pair of ’Dead upon Wearing’ Deity Masks in their hands, a strange emotion flickered in his eyes, but it was definitely not fear!
