"Attack!?" Greg, who was highly cautious, quickly searched for the source of the attack. "From within the forest? Is Adam Lockwood still alive? Or is it a Beast attack?" He tried to guess the type of attack.
"No, it can't be a Beast. It's clearly an arrow... No doubt this is Adam Lockwood!" He knew and knew enough about Adam Lockwood's prominence in the second game. "That guy uses arrows as his main weapon." He immediately got the answer.However, he couldn't find the attacker anywhere.From a different direction, another arrow quickly struck the neck of another crew member. Making him wriggle and fall with yellowish-green fluid coming out of his mouth and nose."Fuck! Find cover now!" Greg ordered his crew. On the other side, he intended to find the shooter's position, suspected to be Adam Lockwood.The crew of the Strength ship quickly sought cover. Some hid behind still smoking rocks, meteor remnants from the eruption, and some others"Yes, Sir." Bryan bowed politely.On the other side, the crew of the Strength ship, apart from two who died from poisoned arrows, were all still in good shape with a red aura enveloping them. Their gazes showed disdain for Adam, looking down on him and mocking him.Adam ignored them, then said to Greg, "You better keep your promise."[Gallows Can be Used]A notification appeared. "Good, this is enough for now. The top priority is to keep Greg Chandler as far away from the coast as possible, preventing him from giving orders to sink the ship." Adam began to think about his next move.Greg replied, "Of course," with insincere tone and expression."Follow me." Adam said, then began to enter the misty forest.Greg followed behind, along with three of his other crew members.Thirty minutes into the burning forest, shrouded in thin smoke and ash snow, Adam could already see the golden glow of the Mini Sun chest. He re
At the initial location, Greg walked slowly toward the Mini Sun chest, his gaze directed towards the coast. "Only light can surpass the speed of sound, even if you fight as hard as you can, what you'll find in the end is a sunken ship." He smirked cynically."Captain, shouldn't we chase him?" One of his crew members questioned Greg's decision."Of course we should, otherwise, he'll do the same to my ship—destroy it." Greg mumbled, then turned towards the Mini Sun inside the chest. He continued, "But, first, we'll take this thing."By concentrating "Berserk" on the surface of his hand, he tried to grab the Mini Sun directly.A few millimeters from the Mini Sun, his fingers began to blister.He naturally raised his hand and furrowed his brow, "So, I can't carry this thing directly, on the other hand, I can carry it along with its chest." He realized that the heat from the chest couldn't be compared to the Mini Sun itself.He turned
On the shore, Greg arrived with Mini Sun along with three of his crew members. His face wrinkled as he saw most of his crew lying lifeless."... This is truly unavoidable." He knew no matter how fast he reached the shore, he wouldn't be able to catch up with Adam using Shadow Hand.Part of his mind had already predicted this situation.At that moment, he saw "The Hanged Man" ship split in two, with the smaller piece slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea. Meanwhile, the larger piece remained afloat and was being engulfed by flames."Ellion!" Greg shouted.Ellion on the "Strength" ship suddenly snapped out of it and found himself back on the deck, ready to fire the cannon. He looked around in confusion, "Shit, what just happened!?" He muttered in frustration."Where is he?" Greg asked about Adam's whereabouts.Ellion, who had no idea what had just happened, crossed his arms to signal that he didn't know.As soon
Moon Crawler turned his head left and right as if searching for something, before his gaze fixed on the golden chest behind Greg.His footsteps made no sound, and the surface of the water only showed small ripples like a drop of water falling into the sea.It didn't take long for Moon Crawler to arrive at the shore and silently walk towards the Mini Sun Chest.Greg, standing right in front of the Mini Sun chest, was consumed by tumultuous thoughts. "What does he want? He didn't kill Ellion... Is he after the Mini Sun?" He realized that Moon Crawler was heading towards the Mini Sun with purpose."?!"In fact, there was nothing he could do. Greg was someone who valued his life greatly, which made his caution level very high. And at this moment, he knew well enough that being a hindrance to Moon Crawler would mean death."Why can that creature appear here? Out of all the vastness of this world!!!" He gritted his teeth."Tha
The sky was dark, and stars began to illuminate, the crescent moon hanging sixty degrees in the sky, and the sun had long set.Gong!Adam suddenly awake by the sound of the bell. The sound reverberated in his ears, a feeling of déjà vu!As he opened his eyes, he immediately choked and coughed. He quickly spat out salty water from his mouth.Cough!!His body was almost numb, but with a little effort, he managed to drag himself out of the waves' impact on the beach."Haha... It's all over..." He said almost despairingly.He was here, on the edge of the beach, and still breathing was a miracle.The last thing he remembered was when his emotions were raging and difficult to control. The effects of the mishap made him more vulnerable and unstable.After nearly five minutes, he adjusted himself.Struggling to stand, he surveyed the island's condition.With stars and the moon providing illumi
As he bowed his head, the corner of his eye caught a golden glint. He turned towards the Mini Sun chest, which was still in its original position.[Mini Sun][The Sun's Artifact][Taken Over by The Hanged Man][Lore: Shortly after the formation of the sun, the planets around it began to burn and perish. To reduce the impact, a god decided to take some of the sun's power and compress it into ninety-nine ancient artifacts. The Mini Sun is one of the ninety-nine artifacts containing the power of the Sun.]He lifted his head towards the Gallows and said firmly, "I will sacrifice the artifact that currently belongs to me, Mini Sun!"The screen remained blank for several seconds, then finally displayed a text.[The value of ancient artifacts is much greater than just a ship][Prioritize equivalent exchange]Adam thought for a moment and replied, "I want all my crew to be resurrected."There were nine crew members of The
Adam sighed and stood up, "Take me to him," he said.He had acquired some wounds, on his forehead, calf, and lower abdomen. The first was caused by a rock thrown by Greg, while the others he got when the ship "The Hanged Man" sank.Navigated by Bryan, Adam descended the stairs to the lower cabin.There, Lucas sat hugging his knees, burying his face in them.As Adam arrived in front of him, he lifted his head and looked at Adam with a strange gaze."Damn! Just seeing your face makes me want to punch you... Too bad, I'm smart enough to know that you're all fake. Heh," he grinned madly.At that, Adam chuckled coldly, "Stay like that, you're perfect bait for the Beast, it could save time and energy when the Beast attacks the ship..."Adam had no way to deal with Lucas's current mental issues. However, he at least wanted to try to convince him that this is the real world.Lucas's dense thoughts about believing that t
Therefore, he immediately made a decision, "Gorgon Island will be our sailing destination.""Yes, sir," Bryan nodded respectfully.He then went out to relay the order to Topper, who was controlling the helm, and provide information to the rest of the crew about the destination.At times like this, Adam redirected all forms of system conversation into his characteristic monotone voice.All interactions with the system were packaged in the form of conversations....Another night arrived, and the sky was covered by dark clouds. Heavy rain battered the ship "The Hanged Man," accompanied by staggering waves reaching five meters high.Topper, who was holding the helm, although unaffected by the extreme movement of the ship, still found it difficult to maintain the ship's stability.Jack and Rick worked together to handle the sails, ready to adjust them as needed, either to unfurl or furl them back.Adam, still un
