Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 526 The Combat Power of Demigods
Hobert used the "Psychic Wine Glass" to accelerate the extraction of the extraordinary characteristics of three enemies. To his surprise, the person he just punched to death turned out to be a "Reaper"!
He didn't expect that the opponent's Sequence 5 trap would be so vulnerable after he saw through it!
Then Hobert realized that it was not the opponent who was vulnerable, but the qualitative change of the demigod that put a long distance between himself and Sequence 5.

This reminded him of when he met the "Despair Witch" in Backlund, wasn't he also completely beaten!Fortunately, I had a Level 1 Sealed Artifact in my hand at that time, otherwise I would have been easily killed by the opponent.

Hobert recalled the time when he killed the first Sequence 5. He was very excited at the time, but from today onwards, killing a Sequence 5 is very easy.

Putting away the three extraordinary characteristics, Hobert continued to chase forward. One "twist", and he was already seven or eight meters away. Another "twist", and he was seven or eight meters away.

Unless the opponent is sitting on a rocket, how can he possibly outrun Hobert?

After chasing for more than ten seconds, Hobert found that he had chased him to the dock again. It turned out that the other party ran around and ran back to his boat!

At this time, the Dawn Light, the flagship of "Vice Admiral Dusk", suddenly turned around contrary to common sense. After knocking over another pirate ship, it quickly left the port.

Until this moment, the sails on the flagship showed no signs of opening. The whole process seemed like an invisible giant hand pushing the giant ship away from the port.

Hobert flew low to catch up, and when he got a little closer to the giant ship, he was hit by a "storm of light".

"Chaos!" Attacks like light spots and fragments suddenly fell into chaos in the direction in the front area, and the attacks originally aimed at Hobert scattered in all directions.

Some of these light spot fragments hit the sea surface, some hit the land not far away, and some turned back and hit the giant ship itself.

Each light spot exploded with the same force as a cannonball. For a while, the surrounding sea area continued to explode, and the water mist from the explosion submerged Hobert.

"Twisted!" Hobert, who was in the mist, "distorted" the direction of the giant ship, turning going out to sea into entering port. So the giant ship once again turned its bow 180 degrees against common sense and rushed towards Hobert.

The mist dissipated, and Hobert, who was standing on the water, "distorted" the buoyancy of the sea under his feet, and punched the giant ship: "Zoom in"!
The giant ship, which was dozens of meters long, suddenly shook on the sea surface, as if it had hit another ship, and almost lost its forward momentum.

Hobert was pushed away by the giant ship for a distance. He did not expect that his full blow would only make a fist-sized hole in the giant ship!

This giant ship seems to have some Sequence 5 level "barrier" capabilities. Even a full blow from the demigod has very limited destructive power.

Hobert adjusted his posture: "Zoom in!"

He "amplified" the ability of the "Ocean Pendant" to fly low, like a galloping bird, leaping upward to the deck.

"Twilight Lieutenant General" Bulatov, wearing the "Morning Armor" and holding the "Morning Great Sword", has been waiting on the ship for a long time.

After Hobert boarded the ship, the giant sword in Bulatov's hand shattered, and he used "Storm of Light" on Hobert again!
Of course Bulatov can feel the gap between himself and the enemy, but what he wants to do now is to delay as much time as possible. He has just informed the Fusac Empire's military of his situation through prayer.

In a few minutes, his own demigods would arrive to support him. He just had to try his best to hold on for a while.

"Connection!" Hobert strengthened the connection between the fragments of light flying towards him and the "morning light" emanating from the ship.

What Bulatov didn't expect was that all his "Light Storm" hit the hull of the ship, and most of the sailors on the deck were killed or injured, including the boatswain of the flagship.

Hobert pulled out his knife and rushed towards Bulatov: "Zoom in!"

"Vice Admiral Dusk" quickly regrouped the "Great Sword of Dawn", but it was too late. Hobert slashed through the "Armor of Dawn" and was knocked away by its huge force, falling hard on the hull of the ship.

At this time, a corpse next to Hobert suddenly attacked Hobert, and the thin sword in his hand was pointed directly at Hobert's vitals.

However, Hobert had been prepared for it. When the "Storm of Light" exploded just now, he noticed that this man was not directly hit by the light fragments, but he fell to the ground.

So when the opponent made a surprise attack, Hobert calmly said: "Take advantage!"

He caused the opponent's "fatal attack" to end early, so when the opponent's rapier stabbed at him, Hobert easily deflected it with the black knife, and then hit the opponent's chest with a kick: "Zoom in!"

Before the flames all over the body of the "Reaper" had time to emerge, he deployed a defensive posture and was kicked out, knocking down the main mast of the giant ship.

Hobert left the opponent behind and "distorted" the distance between himself and "Vice Admiral Twilight": "Corrosion!"

On the entire deck, people who were preparing to jump into the water to escape suddenly thought of their own belongings hidden on the ship, or suddenly thought of the captain's belongings, and rushed into the cabin one by one.

"Vice Admiral Dusk" was also affected by "corrosion", his heart became very dark, and the morning light on the entire ship suddenly went out.

He knew that he could not wait for the support of his own demigods. Since he could not survive, no one else could survive, so he removed all the defensive power of the ship.

Hobert put his foot on Bulatov's chest and was about to kill him with a knife.

thump~
There was a muffled sound and the ship's hull shook violently. Hobert took a few steps back in order to maintain his balance.

It turned out that the boat lost control and slammed into the dock.

Amid the exclamations of people on the shore, the giant ship finally stopped, but because the giant ship's defense power disappeared, a large hole was knocked out of the bow, and seawater was rapidly pouring into the cabin.

The violent vibration woke Bulatov out of his "corroded" state. The "Morning Armor" on his body became solid again, and there was a solid "barrier" outside.

Under these two layers of protection, he could at least withstand three strikes from the demigod in front of him!
And with these two layers of protection, his own resistance to extraordinary abilities has greatly increased!
But he underestimated the ability of a demigod. "Tampering!" Hobert "tampered" with the intensity of the surrounding light, fundamentally weakening Bulatov's ability.

This is a "tampering" with the basic laws of nature and is not aimed at Bulatov, so Bulatov's basic resistance has no effect at all.

Then Hobert stabbed out: "Zoom in!"

Bulatov's two layers of protection were pierced like fragile foam, and Hobert's knife penetrated directly into his skull.

With an expression of disbelief, the morning light on Bulatov gradually weakened.

The "Reaper" who was kicked away by Hobert had already run to the edge of the deck, just when the opponent was about to jump into the water to escape.

Hobert stretched out his hand towards him: "Arrogant!"

So the "Reaper" arrogantly thought that he had a chance to defeat the demigod. After throwing a "Blazing Spear" at Hobert, he used "Weakness Attack" to find the opponent's weaknesses.

Hobert kicked a weapon from the deck towards the Reaper, testing out the Gift ability.

The "Reaper" immediately became very impatient and rushed towards the enemy before it could find the enemy's weakness.

Hobert came to the conclusion: "Giving" first, then using abilities such as "Charm" is a way to deal with demigod targets.When facing an opponent below a demigod, "Gift" itself has the ability to make the target impatient and irrational.

Hobert kicked one of the "Reaper's" legs off, then knocked him unconscious with a punch.

Just at this time, Archibald climbed onto the boat with two marionettes: "You ran too fast, I finally caught up with you!"

Only then did Hobert notice that Bulatov's body was missing: "This 'Reaper' is for you!"

This "Reaper" and the "Dawn Knight" just now were the rewards he promised to Archibald when he hunted the six-legged monster.

He came to the place where Bulatov died just now. There was a small pool of blood on the ground, proving that Hobert had indeed killed him just now.

Hobert began to look for "correlation", but he found that the blood had a lot to do with the entire ship!
Archibald saw Hobert's confusion, and he divined: "If this ship doesn't sink, the captain won't die!"

Hobert was stunned and lamented that the "Pirate General's" ship was simply a level 1 sealed artifact.

The reason why it is not level 0 is because Hobert realized that the so-called "the ship will not sink, the captain will not die" must have certain restrictions, otherwise this ship will not appear at sea, but will appear in the palace of the Fusac Empire , for their emperor.

Archibald divined again and said, "The captain is in the captain's cabin."

Hobert nodded and immediately entered the captain's cabin. Sure enough, he saw Bulatov, who was more than two meters tall, sitting on a golden chair and said with a smile: "Unless you can defeat him within 2 minutes." The ship is sunk, otherwise your raid will fail, because my reinforcements will arrive by then.”

The wound on his forehead had healed and he looked as if he had never been injured.

Although there is a big hole in the bow part of the ship, it will not sink for a while, and it will only be stranded in the port, making it more difficult for this giant ship to sink completely.

Hobert ignored the other party's words, but carefully observed the golden chair. He noticed that there was a knife edge on the back of the chair, which looked very much like it was caused by his own black knife.

So Hobert rushed forward, and Bulatov quickly dodged, but Hobert "distorted" the distance between them, quickly caught up with the opponent, and kicked "Lt. Dusk" down.

This time Hobert breaks Vice Admiral Dusk's neck.

Kacha~
A table next to the golden chair broke. Lieutenant General Twilight, who was already certain to die, broke away from Hobert and sat on the golden chair again.

Hobert already understood what was going on, and he smiled and said: "It's not that you were resurrected, it's just that this ship took the fatal attack for you.

"In addition, you may be influenced by your colleagues on the "Hunter" path. You like to set traps!
"You deliberately sat in this chair just to make me think this chair was the key.

"The broken table just now has proved that the person who took the fatal blow for you was anything on the ship or in the captain's room. The golden chair is the same as the table, there is nothing special about it!
"This is obviously a trap you created at the last minute! To delay it for a while longer."

Bulatov was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would find the pattern of his "resurrection" so quickly, and also expose his trap.

"Don't underestimate a 'lawyer''s ability to summarize rules and logic!" Hobert smiled: "I have already thought of a way to kill you!"

Saying this, Hobert rushed over again. After Bulatov ran a few steps, he was caught by Hobert again.But this time Bulatov did not give up resistance. Instead, he had a dagger in his hand and stabbed Hobert violently, hitting Hobert in the chest!
"distortion!"

Almost at the same time, Hobert distorted the concept of himself and Bulatov, and a hole immediately appeared in Bulatov's chest, and blood flowed.

Hobert had already noticed something was wrong with this "Pirate General", because even a Sequence 5 couldn't be caught by him so easily.

Therefore, Hobert judged that the opponent who was easily caught by him twice in a row was preparing an attack that could hurt the demigod, so he was always on guard.

It's just that the opponent's attack should be similar to a "fatal attack" and cannot be avoided.

Hobert took the dagger and "distorted" his injury, turning the serious injury into a minor injury, and the wound quickly stopped bleeding.

Then he "magnified" Bulatov's injuries, turning the serious injuries into fatal injuries, and Bulatov once again looked dying.

This time, Hobert did not rush to kill "Vice Admiral Dusk", but carried him out of the captain's cabin with one hand and walked to the edge of the deck step by step.

At this time, Archibald, who had successfully turned the "Reaper" into a marionette, was directing the marionettes to attack the enemy sailors.

It glanced at Hobert and immediately understood that the "Twilight Lieutenant General" was going to be completely killed.

Bulatov seemed to realize something and began to struggle violently, but Hobert's hand was like an iron hoop, wrapping around his neck. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free.

Hobert jumped from the tall ship to the shore, and said as he left the giant ship: "That's right, only if you are on the ship can the ship help you bear fatal injuries.

"If you leave that ship, the connection between you will be broken! It will no longer be able to bear the harm for you!"

Hobert smiled and said: "This is why you spared a big circle and returned to the ship. According to common sense, your best choice is to jump into the sea, or continue to deal with me in the dense forest. .”

Bulatov shouted: "I can take you to our base! There are ten years of savings for me and my pirate group there, and there are properties worth more than 30 pounds!"

Because Hobert speaks Loen, his unit of measurement for property is pounds!

Hobert smiled: "That's the portion assigned to the Fusac Empire! I don't believe a pirate has so much savings!"

He felt that the distance was almost there, so he threw Bulatov to the ground and stepped on it with his feet.

Bulatov was a little shocked. He didn't expect that the other party knew his details. He quickly said: "I know the location of the Fountain of Youth! I can take you there."

Hobert remained unmoved: "On the afternoon of last Monday, I just learned that the so-called 'Fountain of Youth' was actually the trap of the 'Immortal King' Agaritu."

Bulatov was completely desperate. He didn't expect that the other party even knew this!
Hobert raised his knife and chopped off the opponent's head with one blow!

This time Bulatov's headless body twitched a few times and soon died.

Hobert smiled, as if he was talking to the corpse in front of him, and as if he were saying to himself: "Never underestimate a lawyer's ability to summarize rules and find loopholes."

At this time, Hobert was suddenly stunned and looked towards the sea in the distance.

There is a fireball coming quickly towards this side.

The enemy's demigods are here to support you in advance!
Hobert once again "amplified" his "low flying" ability, quickly flew to the ship, and stood in front of Archibald.

Although Hobert has just been promoted, if the two of them cooperate well, it will not be difficult to keep the other person.

Hobert unlocked the seals of "1-101" and "1-107" and prepared to fight, but the fireball drew a beautiful arc on the sea and flew away again.

Hobert was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood that the opponent should be a demigod from the "Hunter" pathway. He must have felt the danger, so when he realized that "Vice Admiral Dusk" might be hopeless, he was not sure of defeating the opponent. The situation flew away.

However, the enemy's first wave of support has already arrived, and the second wave of support may not be far away, so Hobert and Archibald stopped expanding their results and began to clean up the battlefield.

While speeding up the extraction of extraordinary characteristics, Hobert found another pirate who was injured and could not escape, knocked him out, and would use him for a test later.

Then Hobert jumped to the shore and picked up Bulatov's extraordinary properties. At the same time, he wrapped the opponent's head in a cloak and took it away with him.

After initially cleaning up the battlefield, Hobert divided into two waves and first took Archibald and his Marionette to a nearby island. Hobert went back twice more, once taking away the pirates he captured. , once taking away the heads of the boatswain "Vice Admiral Dusk" and the "Reaper" killed by Hobert in the forest.

After bringing all the trophies to the unknown island, Hobert re-sealed the sealed objects on his body before sending Archibald and the trophies back to Jeffrey's territory.

……

At the port where the fleet of "Vice Admiral Dusk" docked, about 3 minutes after Hobert and Archibald left, the fireball flew back again.

The fireball fell to the shore and formed a human figure burning with flames. The flames dissipated and a man with a resolute face appeared.

At the same time, a ray of twilight light came from the sky, streaking across the sky like a meteor, and finally exploded on the giant ship. A big man over two meters tall, wearing a bishop's uniform suitable for fighting, walked out.

This is not his own ability, but that he was "launched" from a distance, and the target was this ship.

The two demigods looked at each other, then went to catch a sailor and asked about the situation just now.

Because Hobert attacked Bulatov's flagship, all but one of the other pirate ships was destroyed and all escaped.

The last two demigods met in front of the giant ship. The one who came by way of fireball was "Iron Knight" Grisha, and the one who came by borrowing the light of dusk was "Demon Hunter" Orezhka.

Orezhka guessed: "A demigod from the Loen military?"

There are several demigods in the "lawyer" path in the Loen military and the Feneport military.

Grisha shook his head: "It's not like that."

If he were a demigod from the Loen military, he wouldn't be wearing a mask.

Moreover, there are many demigods from various countries, and they are all watching each other. If the demigods of the Loen military come to the sea to kill people, Grisha will definitely get the news.

Grisha frowned and said, "Maybe he is a newly promoted demigod from the Loen military?"

He had this guess because the three enemies (including Archibald's marionette), although wearing Fenebaud-style clothes, spoke Loen language.

And since it is a "gang crime", there is probably an organization behind them.

The first thing the two demigods thought of as an organization hostile to the Fusac Empire was the Loen military.

But a new question came again. Orezhka asked: "How did they find Bulatov?"

A huge advantage of "Pirate Generals" is that it is difficult to find them on the vast sea!

Their flagships all have anti-divination designs. Even demigod-level divination cannot predict their location without corresponding related items.

So in theory, in a head-on battle, the demigods of all forces can kill the "Pirate General" relatively easily, but such a thing rarely happens.

In addition to the checks and balances between forces, another reason is that it is difficult for demigods from other forces to find "pirate generals".

And it doesn't make much sense. Everyone knows that this is a black glove. If a "Pirate General" dies, another Sequence 5 pirate will be immediately replaced.

Since the murderer had a way to find Bulatov, it meant that the other party had abundant channels, so the two demigods once again thought of the Loen military.

Because today was the day of secret communication between Bulatov and the intelligence personnel of the Fusac Empire, they speculated that people from the Loen military might have intercepted this information and found Bulatov.

……

Fenepot Kingdom, Geoffrey Territory.

Hobert sent Archibald back to the military camp. From today on, Archibald has two more adjutants.

For Archibald, this is not just a simple increase in strength, but also a recognition of himself by the "creator"'s beloved, and it is just around the corner to completely solve the seal on him.

During this period, Archibald still prayed to the "Creator" every three days, asking the "Creator" to remove the pollution from his body, but after that, Archibald never saw the image of the "Creator" again. .

It speculates that what will later remove pollution for itself should be an "automatic response" mechanism similar to that of the gods. The "creator" cannot always pay attention to these small things.

What it doesn't know is that the great "creator" has not yet found suitable workers, and he has to do all the big and small things himself.

The reason why Hobert decontaminated Archibald so frequently was to establish the image of a "creator" in Archibald's mind.

Now that you are ready to tame... ahem, prepare to conquer this extraordinary creature, you must patiently establish your position in the other party's mind.

Hobert remembers that this trick worked best when training dogs.
