Ark Undead

Kal'tsit naturally had her own guesses about the mysterious person who attacked her last night.

The most likely candidate is a deep-sea hunter.

After all, on the land of Iberia, apart from the people of the Iberian State Church, the only remaining forces with fighting power are the Deep Sea Church and the Deep Sea Hunters.

However, the Deep Sea Church had already approached the coast, and most of its members were engaged in missionary work. Furthermore, the mysterious figure's fighting style was remarkably similar to that of the Deep Sea Hunters.

Immense strength, unparalleled speed, and a morbid overconfidence in his own abilities.

This is exactly the same thing that Goredia and the others were made from.

Goredia sighed; she felt a headache coming on.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, what do you think?"

"I think you should know the answer, or at least have a guess in your mind."

Kal'tsit looked away. Since Gladys had already given in, there was no need for her to press the matter further.

"You said that there are no more conscious deep-sea hunters out there now, so can I understand that the gentleman who attacked us no longer belongs to the category of deep-sea hunters?"

"Or perhaps he's no longer on the same path as you, which is why you haven't noticed his presence?"

As Greta listened to Kal'tsit's words, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It's clear that Kal'tsit wasn't trying to pressure Gladys with this. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to speak with Gladys alone at this time.

Why didn't you just say it when you were in the Undead room? Why are you saying it now?

This was to give Goredia a gap to think.

Carmen, representing the Iberian Defense Forces, could not tolerate the sudden emergence of an adversary from an already unstable force like the Deepsea Hunters.

This would greatly widen the gap between the two sides and damage the operation.

Therefore, Kal'tsit is implying that Goredia needs to make a choice.

She wanted Goredia to characterize the attacker as a deep-sea hunter who had lost his mind, regardless of whether he was conscious or not.

Goredia was naturally a smart woman and understood Kal'tsit's meaning.

But after remaining silent, she chose to change the subject with Kal'tsit.

"Let's put that issue aside for now. I'd like to tell you something first."

Kal'tsit nodded.

"please say."

"Does Dr. Kal'tsit know what happened on the day of the Great Tranquility? I don't know if Skadi told you?"

"Greteia asked."

Kal'tsit shook her head.

"Although our relationship with Operator Skadi is not bad, it is by no means close. Although I am also very interested in this kind of thing, Skadi has never told me about it."

The implication is that while I am very interested in you, I would never deliberately seek out your significance.

This was a gesture of goodwill, which Goredia naturally understood.

"Then what I want to tell you is what happened during the Great Silence of that day."

Goredia sat up straight.

“The Great Tranquility was not created by us. But we killed the culprit behind that Great Tranquility, the one who killed that false god was Skadi herself.”

"?" Kal'tsit suddenly raised her head, and her gaze toward Gladys gradually became strange.

Why didn't you say something like this sooner?

If that's the case, perhaps there wouldn't be such a barrier in communication with Carmen and the others.

Gladys knew what Kal'tsit was thinking, so she shook her head.

"However, Skadi was not attacked when the false god was killed. The sea creatures surrounded Skadi and the false god from a distance, as if they were watching a fight within their own race."

"Their battle was more like a feeding frenzy, a creation of a god. Skadi, covered in wounds, tore open the false god's body with her greatsword. The blood flowing from the false god's body then formed a giant sphere of blood around the two of them, pulsating like a heartbeat with the tides of the sea."

"And after that battle, Skadi miraculously survived from the Deepsea Siren's lair."

"Later, I heard a special title from a member of the Deep Sea Church."

"Ishar-mla".

Goredia clenched her fists.

“I’m not sure if Skadi has any trace of a special creature about her. After all, she’s the only one among the three of us, or rather, among all the Deepsea Hunters, who has been walking on land for so long. But the way they address her is definitely how Skadi is addressed.”

"In that battle, the false god seemed to have left a special mark on Skadi, or perhaps he offered himself as a sacrifice to Skadi. The fact that Skadi still retains her sanity is something I did not expect."

Therefore, after going ashore, the first person Greta looked for was Laurentina, not Skadi, and she even deliberately kept her distance from Skadi for a while.

The purpose was to see if Skadi had changed significantly from before.

It was Skadi's series of normal actions, along with her rescue efforts for Laurentina over the years, that temporarily put aside Goredia's doubts.

But this is something Carmen absolutely cannot discuss with her. There are too many uncertainties surrounding Skadi, and Carmen is even less likely to believe that a Deepsea Hunter who could potentially become a Sea Heir is in the team.

“Dr. Kal'tsit, the person you saw probably wasn’t there to warn you. He just wanted to confirm Skadi’s condition.”

"Perhaps, it was also a deep-sea hunter who found the answer in a dream and came to determine whether a second false god of the sea would appear."

“Last night, someone entered our room without waking any of us. Only a deep-sea hunter could approach a deep-sea hunter so silently.”

Goredia's words were a response to Kal'tsit.

She acknowledged the deep-sea hunter's identity, but also told her that the deep-sea hunter probably hadn't lost his mind.

"I see."

Kal'tsit immediately understood the meaning behind Gladys's words.

“But this remains a threat, Ms. Graceia.”

“I understand, Dr. Kal'tsit. Please wait a little longer; I think his goal is the same as ours.”

"Greteia pleaded."

"Returning to Agor is an irresistible mission for all deep-sea hunters. If he truly has any special intentions, he is destined to reappear before us."

“At that time, if he really posed any threat to us, I would stand in front of him personally and question him with my long spear.”

"Until then, let's focus on exploring dreams."

...

On the other side, on the Victorian border, Rhode Island.

After getting out of bed and having his lunch, Kroos lay back down on Melantha's bed and drifted off to sleep.

Melantha sat beside Kroos, looking at the book in her hands.

Kroos slept for more than ten hours yesterday. Such an unusually long sleep duration had happened once before, and Melansa simply assumed it was part of the side effects of Kroos's Originium disease.

That's why Melantha asked Instructor Doberman for leave, intending to stay by Kroos's side and watch over her during this time.

Melanie, who never asked for leave, made such a request, and Instructor Dobermann naturally approved it.

In other words, Melanie had almost a week off to take care of Kroos's condition.

But Kroos didn't seem to realize his unusual behavior, and woke up today as happy as ever.

Are you sleepy again?

Melantha glanced back at Kroos, who was squinting, looking like a comfortable little dog, almost sticking out its tongue and inhaling.

"No, Kroos, I'm just a little tired."

Kroos rubbed his eyes.

"Keopatra, in my dream, ran a long way."

Melanie found it somewhat amusing.

This child always says some strange things; Melanie is almost used to it.

But Kroos, lying on the bed, seemed to remember something and suddenly turned his head to look at Melantha.

"Melantha, do you want to dream?"

"Huh?"

Melantha kept her eyes on the book in her hands and didn't pay any attention to what Kroos was saying. She thought Kroos was joking.

"I sleep every day, and sometimes I dream too."

"That's not what Krobe meant! Krobe meant, let's go play in dreams and find the Undying Stranger together!"

Kroos's gaze suddenly turned serious as he looked at Melantha.

"Melantha, her scent is very similar to Undying! Melantha, that's fine too!"

Melantha assumed that Kroos was missing the Undead, which was why he was saying these strange things.

Melantha smiled gently and continued, following Kroos's lead.

"If Kroos wants, then I'll try my best today and dream with Kroos."

"Then! Let's sleep together!"

Kroos suddenly sat up and hugged Melantha.

"If we sleep together, we can go find the Immortal Stun together!"

Melanie nodded dismissively, not taking it seriously at all.

"Mmm, okay, okay."

420. Proof of her death

No one else heard Kal'tsit and Gladys's conversation. After all, such a private exchange wasn't something they could easily share with others.

As for immortals, he had no interest in such things.

However, the Undead did have some things to discuss with Kal'tsit.
