Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 25 Naval Battles and the Spirit Realm

Chapter 25

Rosen lay on the brand-new bedding and fell asleep almost immediately.

Since arriving in Blackrock Harbor, he has devoted almost all his energy to gathering information about the Spirit Realm. He hasn't had a proper rest in three days, and the upcoming six to ten-day voyage of the Black Shark will give him plenty of time to recuperate.

Rosen was having a sweet dream when he was suddenly awakened by a violent tremor.

The desktop of the main computer instantly appeared on his retina. He checked the time and realized he had only slept for less than three hours.

The repeated vibrations in the cabin made Rosen realize that the Black Shark was likely in the midst of a naval battle, probably the one the passengers had mentioned about hunting down the extraordinary sea monster. For safety's sake, he opened the door to the mysterious study in the bulkhead.

If he were to encounter an insurmountable danger, he could promptly retreat to the mysterious study for refuge.

With a violent shaking, Rosen noticed that the outer side of the cabin had bulged inward as if it had been hit hard.

He instantly entered the mysterious study and looked out the window. What was originally pitch black was now a tiny light that could be seen a dozen meters away to the side. He immediately summoned the God-Slaying Crossbow and activated the God-Hunting Demon Eye to look at that tiny light through the window.

It turns out that the Black Shark's hull had been breached, and the passenger cabins inside the ship were also affected.

However, the damage was still mitigated by the ship's hull; otherwise, the cabin bulkheads would have been affected by more than just a small amount of residual energy.

The gap in the hull is three meters long, and it is covered with a sea-blue glow to block out the seawater.

Suddenly the seawater disappeared, and through the cracks in the hull, Rosen could see the sea surface. He vaguely saw a whale-like sea monster rampaging in the storm, and the Black Shark gave him the feeling that it was leaping out of the sea at that moment. Otherwise, he would not have been able to see the sea surface directly through the cracks in the hull.

After repeated observations, Rosen confirmed that the Black Shark was indeed constantly leaping out of the water.

Because he saw other pirate ships. Some pirate ships were like sea fortresses constantly bombarding the giant whale, some pirate ships were dragging giant nets to bind the giant whale, and some pirate ships even transformed into sea monsters and kept jumping out of the sea to kill the giant whale.

Judging from the name of the ship, Black Shark, it is very likely that Black Shark can also transform into a black shark to dive into the sea or leap out of the sea.

These pirate ships were only at the highest Sequence 7, yet the destructive power they displayed left Rosen speechless.

Although the World Government has directors in the artist category, the movies they produce, which are available to ordinary people, almost never involve supernatural elements. Therefore, large-scale scenes like a dozen pirate ships besieging a giant whale are something that ordinary people can only imagine.

Some people are dissatisfied with this regulation, but the vast majority of ordinary people can accept it.

Because many extraordinary messages contain spiritual pollution that is deadly to ordinary people, if ordinary people are exposed to too much of this information, there is a certain probability that their spirit will be damaged, and in the end, they may go insane or even become a vegetable.

The battle to capture the giant whale lasted for most of the day, and it wasn't until almost dark that the whale stopped struggling.

At this time, the Black Shark's damaged hull began to be repaired, and the last thing Rosen saw was the giant whale being divided up by various pirate ships.

For the next week, the Black Shark did not encounter any further incidents.

Until noon that day, the energy seal sealing the cabin suddenly broke, and violent banging came from the cabin door. Rosen immediately put on his backpack and opened the cabin door. At this time, pirates were already shouting for the passengers to go to the deck.

Some dining tables were set up on the deck, and a pirate chef was barbecuing not far away.

The aroma of grease filled the air. The pirate ship was shrouded in a thick black fog, obscuring all light. This fog wasn't ash from a place far from human settlements; it seemed more like some kind of interference released by the Black Shark itself to isolate its passengers from the outside world. Judging from the timeline, the Black Shark had already arrived at the location of the spirit realm.

If the passengers are carrying extraordinary artifacts used for location and communication, the coordinates of the spiritual realm could be leaked.

Black Shark's actions were clearly intended to ensure that the coordinates of the Spirit Realm would remain forever confidential.

"Welcome, my passengers..."

Captain Black Shark, dressed as a pirate captain, laughed as he saw the last passenger come to the deck and said, "I'm sorry the commotion a few days ago startled you all. I've prepared roasted meat from a Sequence 7 extraordinary sea beast, the Mist Whale, for you. Once you've all eaten and drunk your fill, the Spirit Realm will be about to open."

After Captain Black Shark finished speaking, he returned to the captain's cabin, where several pirates kept bringing out pieces of roasted meat to the table.

Each person gets only one serving of grilled meat, but the portion is quite large, about the size of a football.

Rosen picked up his knife and fork, cut off a piece, and put it in his mouth. It melted in his mouth and was full of the aroma of oil. The meat of the fog whale seemed to have no fibers at all, and the key was that it did not feel greasy at all. This was definitely the most delicious meat he had ever eaten.

This is just a simple roast meat made by an ordinary chef; it's hard to imagine what kind of delicious food a gourmet chef could make.

Besides its exquisite taste and unique texture, Fog Whale Barbecue also offers some health benefits, though these are limited. Unless consumed in large quantities every day, it is difficult to strengthen one's physique. Additionally, it slightly improves the speed of spiritual recovery.

Overall, it has a negligible impact on improving strength, but what's there to complain about when it's a free lunch?
Not long after they had eaten and drunk their fill and sat down, the figurehead of the Black Shark suddenly came to life and emitted a beam of blue light. The beam struck a point in the void and continuously infused it with spiritual energy. Soon, a blue vortex appeared in front of the figurehead in the black mist.

"The entrance to the Spirit Realm has opened. I wish you all a safe and successful exit."

Captain Black Shark walked out of the captain's cabin, went to the bow, pointed to the whirlpool, and said with a sincere expression.

Those with extraordinary abilities familiar with the process had already arrived at the bow of the ship with their teammates and jumped into the whirlpool. The moment they entered the whirlpool, they were teleported into the Spirit Realm and disappeared. Rosen also followed them to the bow and jumped into the whirlpool to enter the Spirit Realm.

Like being thrown into a washing machine, Rosen felt dizzy as the teleportation ended.

When he shook his head to wake up, he found himself on the shore of an island, with a steep rock wall dozens of meters above the sea. Except for the part along the shore, the entire island was covered with countless strange and unusual plants.

"Spirit Realm - Death Forest..."

Rosen recalled the information he had gathered about this spiritual realm.

The entire Spirit Realm is an island spanning dozens of miles, covered with dense forests inhabited by many ferocious extraordinary creatures. Whether you kill these extraordinary creatures or find precious plants, you can take them out of the Spirit Realm as spoils.

In most spiritual realms, the rewards are not as plentiful as those here.

Because the resources within the Spirit Realm do not appear out of thin air, but rather are resources derived from the spiritual energy of the Spirit Realm, which are attached to the Spirit World, sustainable development can only be achieved by bringing out a small amount of resources from the Spirit World.

Only when the spiritual realm is rich in resources during the initial development stage can such a large amount of extraordinary resources be brought out from it.

However, this also reflects the danger level of this spiritual realm. Otherwise, the Black Shark would not have opened up this pioneering spiritual realm to the outside world. It is highly likely that the Black Shark pirate crew has already suffered a great loss here, which is why they gave up on independently pioneering this spiritual realm.
