Blood tax

Chapter 420 Commander, your mission is to destroy the savior ([-])

Judging from the location sensor not long ago, there are two selected persons on board.They must have spent a lot of resources before they were assisted by the powerful capital ships of the Bayeran Navy.

However, the battleship has been damaged and stranded, losing the ability to sail.From a distance, some kind of unknown plant is spreading.There were no sailors to be seen either on the ship or in the nearby sea, and the circumstances of the two chosen ones were even more unknown.

"This is the vast ocean, they can't escape very far in a short time," Griffith said, "The Typhon stays put, prepare a small boat for me."

"Miss Galadia, please stay on the Typhon," Ashura said, "I suggest Lord Amon, Valkyrie and Miss Lockhavert conduct the exploration, and Melrose and I will be the guards. If something unexpected happens , Typhon can support us from a distance.”

This is a good arrangement. The chosen one who launches the attack has a three to two advantage. If an accident occurs, there will be support from Galadia and Typhon in the rear.

"Wait a minute, I have a bad premonition..." Galadia rubbed her forehead, "Something is disturbing my perception, vaguely, but disturbing. Can't you feel it?"

"I didn't feel anything, Miss," Ashura said, "Maybe it's the seaweeds and spore plants that are spreading. What did you guys find?"

"No." Melrose and Haranduil said in unison.

"I think so!" Alyosha let out a deep growl, her hair standing on end as if she was in danger.

"That's your delusion," Yamon said, "it may be the remnants of the other party's summoning of the deep sea monster not long ago."

Erza looked at the elves, then at Griffith, but said nothing.

Combat is always risky.Despite Miss Elf's uneasiness, there was no definite reason against the action either.Griffith and other five people took a small boat and approached the wrecked warship.

There seemed to be countless small movements in the dark sea, as illusory and ethereal as the rustling of dry grass in the lightless night.However, listening carefully, the voice seemed a little closer, like whispering in the ear.

Everyone on the boat was silent, and the atmosphere became extremely weird for a while.Griffith looked at the sea below, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.However, he had an inexplicable feeling——

Right under everyone's feet, hovered some kind of extremely huge, indescribable living creature, its outline and tentacles were all astonishingly large.As it swam under the skiff, it set off deep whirlpools and unease.

"I seem to have seen something," Griffith panicked, "Did you see it?"

"I didn't see anything," Melrose shook his head. "If Miss Launa is afraid, you can sit closer to me."

"I didn't see anything." Amon and Ashura also said.

Erza poked her head out and stared at the black water below.When she withdrew her gaze and looked at Griffith, the three elves stared at her breathlessly.

"Maybe there is really something waiting for you." The huntress looked at the battleship that was just a short distance away. "It is waiting for you."

A strange smell permeated the wrecked battleship.Even though the elves repeatedly confirmed that the strange green spores covering the hull were only rare marine plants, and the strange clouds they spewed into the night were harmless seed colonies, Griffith still felt extremely anxious and uneasy.

The battleship is full of broken holes, gloomy and dark, and no one knows what kind of monsters are hiding.From there, there are bursts of roaring and screaming noises, but if you listen carefully, you can feel that the melody is monotonous. It may just be the sound of the sea wind passing through the hull.

The five of them walked across the deck to the captain's cabin.Here, they heard moans and howls.Several officers and soldiers in naval uniforms lay there.

The mad sailor murmured:

"It's horrible, it's horrible."

"Who will save us."

"It's down there."

Griffith and others hurriedly launched treatment and questioning.However, the surviving navy can only speak gibberish.

"They were attacked," Griffith inspected the injuries of the sailors, and found that most of them were broken limbs or severely hit by amazing force, but the most serious trauma came from the mind.Although their lives are safe for the time being, their eyes are still full of confusion, panic and despair.

They must have witnessed something astonishing.

"Come here!" Ashura suddenly shouted, "This man can still talk."

In the corner of the captain's cabin lay the only officer who could barely communicate. He grasped Griffith's hand and said in a trembling voice:

"In the hold...

"Bigger than a stable... full of twisted ropes... the hell thing is like a very large egg, with dozens of arms, each like a vat with a mouth. When they walk, The mouth will be half closed...it's not solid, it's full of jelly...there are protruding eyes all over the body...

"The ten or twenty mouths at the end of the arms, like elephant's trunks, as big as chimney-pipes...they're moving, opening and closing...all fuzzy, black, with blue or purple rings ...the Seven, all the Old Gods, there's still a face on top of that..."

Everyone present looked serious.They tentatively moved towards the inside of the ship and found that the scene there was even more astonishing.

The mutilated limbs were scattered, and the blood flowed down the stairs.Countless ferocious tentacles rushed out of the wall, the floor swayed crazily, and the stench came to the face, making people feel like they were in hell.

The exquisite cabin passage has been covered with a layer of rough and thick flesh, like the intestines, which are still wriggling.As the flesh and blood penetrated, this layer of matter continued to grow.

How similar this place is to the inside of the giant snail of the Dream Lord!

No matter how confused and panicked his mind was, Griffith immediately connected this place with the ancient gods.

"Back!" he yelled. "This is not where we should be!"

"This is it," Amon suddenly replied without thinking, "I understand now, I am sure. This is too amazing. I always thought it was just a rumor. I am so shallow."

"Then let's go, only the guardians are qualified to set foot here," Melrose uttered an astonishing sentence in clear words, "Please forgive my temptation and offense."

"That's right," the high-level executive Ashura bowed deeply to Griffith, "This world is out of touch, Your Excellency Guardian Knight, please get back your weapon as soon as possible."

what? What? !

Griffith was stunned.This group of elves clearly knew his true identity, and even knew some kind of weapon that he himself didn't know.

The tentacles in the aisle of the cabin suddenly became frantic, wrapping around from all directions.

Erza raised her spear, and threw it at a group of tentacles that rushed towards her.The dazzling silver light flashed past, and there was a shrill scream in the air, and then it was quickly annihilated!There were overwhelming bursts of abnormal flesh and tissue, and in the vague deep hole, a dark red bone-like hard substance could be faintly seen.

The edge of this weird passage immediately grew more tentacles at a crazy speed, entangled to repair the damage.And the three accompanying elves had already disappeared like rabbits.

"There's something wrong here!" Griffith yelled. "It's not a boat, it's some kind of creature! Let's get out of here!"

While yelling, he went to pull Erza, and wanted to take her out of here.

But instead of retreating or advancing, the huntress suddenly opened her arms and embraced him tightly.

"???"

Griffith couldn't understand the situation in front of him at all.

Erza whispered in her ear, as if she was rubbing against his earlobe:

"Griffith, I can only send you here. Don't be afraid, she is waiting for you below."

she?what she?Why her?There is no one here! ?
Before the inexplicable Griffith could figure it out, Erza suddenly pushed him hard, pushing him into a big hole.

"what--!"

Griffith exclaimed, fell down from the hole, smashed into a pile of sundries, then smashed through the not-so-solid floor, and fell heavily on the ground.

He looked up and found himself in a huge cabin.The space is very wide, empty and nothing.

There was a pool of sea water on the floor of the cabin, and there were a few reefs protruding from the water.From this, it can be speculated that this should be the bilge of the battleship. The impact damaged the bottom and allowed seawater to seep in.

What is Erza doing?What did the elves know?What is this place?
Griffith thought of a bunch of questions, but the abnormal uneasiness drove him to escape quickly.Just when he turned around and wanted to climb up the falling path, he heard a strange voice that only appeared in nightmares and did not belong to any creature.

"Tekeli-Li! Tekeli-Li!

Then, the sound gradually died down, and finally disappeared, while at the same time, the sound of the cold wind whistling through the holes in the hull gradually rose, full of evil and madness.

Then, all sounds fell silent.The sea water under his feet was boiling like a boil, and a large amount of white foam made one's hair stand on end.

In the turbulent foam, a terrifying eye appeared.

Then, the second, the third... Countless dense eyeballs emerged from the sea water, staring at the war knight.

"What monster are you!"

Griffith growled, masking his fear with a growl.

He clearly remembered that he had heard this weird voice and experienced this crazy breath, but he couldn't remember it, and the distant memory didn't seem to come from this world.

At the same time, his cheeks and bones squirmed as if they were alive.The long blond hair turned into straight black hair, and the slim figure became burly.In a cloud of scorching steam, stood a mighty war knight.The emerald headband and belt and purple lip gloss not only did not compromise his majesty, but also made him more mysterious and elusive.

Griffith no longer concealed it, showing his true form, with fiery fighting spirit and majestic blood surging.

Those terrifying eyeballs suddenly closed.Huge, blobs of tissue rose from the sea...

Light brown or dark texture, wrinkles that connect bones and muscles, and even holes that resemble eyes and other organs.A large, bloodless tear was opened on the tissue, and parts resembling intestines and internal organs could even be seen through this opening.

The body was shaking slightly and breathing rhythmically.Countless tentacles, each wriggling, looked like hibernating snake nests.It flows, curls, and its silent action stirs up a stormy wave in the heart of the war knight.

The war knight who was ready to fight with all his strength was frightened and almost had a cardiac arrest...

This is undoubtedly a monster from the ancient abyss, terrifying and indescribable.Countless eyes appeared on the pus-covered limbs, glowing green, decomposing and condensing as the limbs moved.Every cell in the amorphous body seems to have a living consciousness, tumbling and bubbling, reorganizing in an instant, simulating various forms and organs.

Several tentacles intertwined and slowly rose up, unexpectedly simulating the shape of a distorted head.It stood up like a man, its tentacles flowing like asphalt hung down like a girl's ankle-length hair.

Immediately afterwards, most of the clumps, tentacles, and indescribable things sank underwater.What stayed on the water was a slim and graceful young woman with extremely beautiful appearance.

She was wearing an evening gown, with long silver hair that reached to her ankles and delicate skin of wheat color, her eyes were bright and charming, as if she could speak.She stood there, looked at Griffith who had fallen to the ground, and smiled slightly:
"Good evening, lieutenant, yes, it's the commander, I'm sorry I always forget your little hobbies. We have, haven't seen each other in 1 years?"

Griffith couldn't speak, not even sure if he was still breathing.

The beautiful silver-haired woman then asked:

"The end of reincarnation is about to wake up, Commander, are you ready to end this world and destroy the savior sent by the gods?"
