Ark Undead

"No need to go."

Skadi said.

"That place...is no longer anything special."

Skadi certainly knew perfectly well what the Undead had done in Minos, but she didn't. However, since that was the Undead's target, and he had brought back a... lady, it meant he had completed his exploration and was no longer of any value to him.

"Is that so?"

Laurentina didn't ask any further questions, just nodded, as if she had only asked casually.

Then, her gaze became fixed, and her tone of voice became serious.

"Let's get down to business. Did you see Him in the dream this time?"

Skadi understood Laurentina's change of topic, and Skadi's expression changed from slightly casual and uninteresting to serious.

Yes, three times.

Skadi said.

“But unlike before, the closer I get to the sea, the clearer I can hear His voice. But every time I encounter Him, I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I always feel that He has become weaker than before.”

Laurentina nodded in agreement.

"Me too. I encountered Him twice, and He definitely seemed much weaker than when we last met Him."

“You killed Him, but He did not die completely; He became a nightmare in our dreams. Skadi, you are the one you should be most careful of.”

Skadi fell silent after hearing Laurentina's words.

The "He" that Laurentina was referring to was a god who was killed by Skadi during the last Great Tranquility.

Strictly speaking, calling Him a god is merely a comparison of power.

Among the Sealings, there are few creatures capable of reaching such a level of power. And during the last Great Tranquility, Agor faced an unprecedented attack.

Under the cover of many deep-sea hunters, Skadi charged into the enemy ranks and, at the closest point to the abyss, tore its body apart with her greatsword.

It was impossible to tell whether it was juice or blood; that area of ​​the sea was completely covered by a deep red liquid.

Only Skadi knew how smoothly she killed Him that time.

With each thrust and each slash, Skadi sensed no obstruction or resistance.

It was as if... as if He had proactively stretched out His arms to meet Skadi's greatsword.

And when the crimson liquid completely covered it, that was the moment Skadi plunged her greatsword into His head.

Yes, she did end that danger with her greatsword. But she also dragged all her companions into an endless dream.

In this dream world, He became an undying beast.

But the final outcome certainly wasn't exactly a happy one.

The deep-sea hunters lost their chance to return home. But Agor was not completely destroyed in that great stillness.

Today, the remaining Deep-Sea Hunters still fight against Him in their dreams, but He has never shown His face.

Until this time, returning to Iberia.

"To be honest, every time I think back to killing Him, it feels a little unreal."

Skadi lowered her eyes and said somewhat uneasily.

"That feeling wasn't pleasant; the way He looked at me was very strange."

"Don't think too much about it, Skadi."

When Laurentina saw Skadi's expression, she reached out and gently rubbed Skadi's cheek with one hand.

Skadi's face felt great to the touch, and Laurentina happily kneaded Skadi's cheeks into various shapes.

Skadi remained expressionless as she looked at her.

“You killed Him, which was our goal, and we worked together to achieve that result. No matter who killed Him, this dream will still occur. Our sacrifice was not because of you, but because of that immortal god.”

This is one of the reasons why Skadi has been unable to fall asleep.

Skadi blamed herself for the dream. But in reality, it wasn't just Skadi; ​​no Deepsea Hunter, even if they killed that god, could completely sever His connection with the lair. The dream was bound to happen eventually; it was only a matter of time.

"Ok."

Skadi didn't dwell on the matter for long; she looked towards the distant horizon on the other side of the ocean.

Standing in the camp, Skadi could hear the calls coming from her ears. But what puzzled her was why her body felt no urge whatsoever.

Looking down at her hands, Skadi suddenly recalled a figure.

"Wait a minute, Laurentina."

Skadi paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.

"Did you see Mr. Undying in your dreams?"

"An immortal? Who...?"

Laurentina was puzzled for a moment, then the bite ring on her hand seemed to emit a momentary bright light, and a tingling sensation rushed from her fingers to her brain.

At this moment, Laurentina realized that they seemed to have overlooked a very important person.

"No, I killed everyone I met with my chainsaw, but I didn't encounter Mr. Undying."

"Moreover, I had even forgotten about his existence before."

Skadi frowned slightly; she seemed to have grasped the key point.

"Where is Mr. Immortal's room again?"

"I remember, it was in..."

Laurentina turned her head and looked at the rest building on the other side.

However, in that one glance, she immediately grabbed the chainsaw beside her.

As she slightly twisted her arm on the chainsaw handle, the chainsaw began to hum the moment it was lifted.

Amidst the overflowing sparks, the rubbing steel seemed to ignite in the air, and the scorching gears appeared to be overflowing with golden flames.

The roaring chainsaw monster was lifted up by Laurentina's slender figure and slammed down behind the two of them.

Sizzle...

The chainsaw's sharp gears began to cut furiously into the tough skin as soon as it made contact with the first object.

In just a moment, the violent circular saw tore through the originally supple outer skin, and a stench even more foul than seawater oozed from the body.

Before anyone could hear Hai Si's scream, the chainsaw, propelled by the force of Laurentina's slam, pinned Hai Si to the ground.

The gears crushed his body, spinning wildly. Amidst the chilling sound of circular saws cutting, countless sharp teeth sliced ​​Hai Si's body in two. The connecting part in the middle had become a bloody mess, making it impossible to see what it should have been.

This weapon belongs exclusively to Laurentina; only someone with her personality could wield this explosive and insane weapon.

Even back in the Deep Sea Hunters' Workshop, this chainsaw was subjected to severe pressure by some people who claimed it would increase the mental stress on the Deep Sea Hunters.

But for Laurentina, it was precisely this sound of tearing open Haisi's body that was the best way to relieve stress.

The sensation of gears tearing through skin and juices splattering was so captivating to Laurentina that it even allowed her to temporarily forget the whispers in her ear.

In a sense, the Specter Shark, who was previously regarded as a madman by others in reality, may be Laurentina's true nature.

Skadi reacted instantly, gripping the greatsword behind her. The first thing she did after turning around was to unleash a fierce upward strike, following the direction of the attack she sensed.

The greatsword tore the charging Hai Si in two, and the spilled juices didn't even land on the two of them.

When was the last time we fought side by side like this?

Laurentina slammed the chainsaw in her hand to her side and twisted the handle on the chainsaw twice.

The gears roared and tore a crack in the ground, while Laurentina gracefully straightened her back, her long white hair curling naturally and cascading down her back like a waterfall.

"Actually, when you were not in a conscious state, we faced these monsters together once."

Skadi also turned around. Unbeknownst to them, countless Sea Hells had gathered behind them, lurking in the camp.

Now, they emerge from the shadows, crashing down on the two like a tidal wave.

"It's been a long time since we've had a collaboration like this."

"A hunter must remain fully conscious, even in a dream, to be considered a true hunter."

Laurentina picked up the chainsaw.

"It seems Mr. Undying is a key figure; just thinking about him brings us trouble. But this little situation shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

"Are you doubting me?"

Skadi glanced at Laurentina and found her looking at her with a smile.

Well, it seems Laurentina just wanted to confirm the facts.

"Then let's go find Mr. Undying."

Laurentina's chainsaw spun wildly, and a hint of savagery appeared in her eyes.

"I've been holding back for ages to play some stress-relieving mini-games!"

399. The important thing is fire.

While Kal'tsit was still puzzled and shocked by the Doctor mentioned by the operator.

Meanwhile, the other operators arrived at Kal'tsit's side, bringing her a new and important message.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, the Deepsea Hunters have awakened, and they are looking for you."

Kal'tsit had just picked up the communicator, intending to try to contact the Doctor from here via an encrypted channel, using Rhodes Island as a relay station.

Upon hearing the news, she immediately put away her communicator.

"Take me to see them."

Obtaining more information from the Deep Sea Hunters is more important than contacting the Doctor right now.

Everyone knows the Doctor is mysterious, and Kal'tsit is willing to give the Doctor trust and time, but the Deepsea Hunters are not necessarily the same.

Led by the operator, Kal'tsit quickly arrived at the Deepsea Hunters' room.
