Ark Undead

Gladys did not question Kal'tsit again.

She couldn't find the answer to this question, and neither could Kal'tsit.

But they are now working hard to find the answer.

Now, they are fellow travelers.

"Help."

Greta lowered her stance and said in a low voice.

"I don't want to fall here. You must have another way."

Kal'tsit was silent for a few seconds, then took a candy out of her pocket.

This candy seemed so out of place in this solemn occasion, yet it represented the continuation of everything.

"Eat it."

Kelsey said.

So Goredia took the candy, unwrapped it, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Are there any side effects?

As she felt her limbs return to her control, Goredia asked.

"For example, becoming Hai Si or something?"

"It will deplete your Sea Child organization in a short period of time, and then revert to its original weak state. In the process, the dissolved Sea Child organization will grant you combat power far exceeding that of ordinary people, but..."

"Kal'tsit said."

"You only have half an hour, and then you will lose all consciousness until your body finishes expelling the remaining sea cucumber. Or you will die in this process of your body expelling the foreign object."

"Are the odds high?"

"Greteia asked again."

Ding!

Mon3tor leaped out of the shadows beneath Kal'tsit, blocking the massive iron rod that was aimed at Goredia.

Kal'tsit asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You've already eaten it, and you're still asking me how high the chances are?"

"Too."

Goredia paused for a moment, then picked up the long spear that had rolled to the side again.

She could feel the power surging from her body, as well as a strange hatred and fear of something.

But deep within her consciousness, something was missing, and that feeling of emptiness was gradually spreading to her limbs.

Without wasting any more time, the tall deep-sea hunter gripped his long spear and charged into the enemy ranks.

As the storm gathers, hunters born from the deep sea rejoin the hunt.

The corrupted deep-sea hunters listlessly surrounded their fellow creatures, raising their weapons without mercy.

All those past glories and obsessions were submerged in the mire of Hai Si, becoming embers of the past.

Laurentina's wounds were almost turning into a masterpiece of art, drawn with a blade.

However, her strong vitality and stubborn fighting spirit still supported her to stand in front.

Greyhound and W were hiding behind Laurentina, using their meager strength to buy time for the Deepsea Hunter.

They've been here for quite a while now. If Ulbian can't bring Skadi back by then, they're really going to lose their lives here.

Fortunately, just when Greyhound thought he would definitely leave his will here today, a dark shadow flashed out from behind him.

In the shadow's arms, a frail white body was being held.

"Catch her."

Greyhound instinctively used his almost exhausted arms to catch the body, and to his surprise, the body was incredibly frail.

Indeed, the body that Greyhound was holding was Skadi, whose limbs had been severed. In Greyhound's view, Skadi's wounds were visibly growing fresh flesh, as if her limbs would soon be regrown.

"What?! What happened to her? Ur..."

Greyhound was surprised by Skadi's condition and looked up.

He wanted to ask Ulbian what had happened, but after he fixed his gaze on him, he realized that the person standing in front of him was not Ulbian at all.

The snow-white blade gleamed blindingly in the light of the distant First Flame, instantly severing a deep-sea hunter's body in two and dragging the greyhound back several meters.

"Patch? Where is Ulpian?"

Just as Greyhound was about to turn around, Patch slapped him on the head.

Patch held W's head down, preventing her from turning around.

"Don't fucking look back, that's not something you can see."

Patch rarely swore, and his tone was not as light as usual.

"Call Kal'tsit and those two deep-sea hunters, and together with the girl in your arms, fight your way out."

"how about you?"

The greyhound's intuition told him that Patch wouldn't go with them.

As it turned out, his intuition was correct.

"Me? That fool has been preparing for this moment for fifty years, of course I have to lend a hand. It would be a waste not to see this spectacle."

Greyhound wanted to ask something more, but he felt a hand press down on his back and push him forward.

The immense force propelled him and W, along with Skadi, forward, nearly knocking them over.

He ran on the ground for quite a while before stopping, and by then he was already next to Kal'tsit.

Greyhound wanted to turn back, but was stopped by Kal'tsit beside him.

"Skadi was rescued?"

"Ah... um."

Greyhound carried Skadi on his shoulder and pulled W up with his left hand to stand up.

"Patch brought her here...Ulbian didn't come."

The last sentence, Greyhound could actually have been left unsaid.

Kal'tsit's expression was cold as she glanced at the greyhound.

Are you feeling unwell?

"I'm not exactly upset, I just feel a little regretful."

The greyhound's voice was very low.

“When he talked to me about Agor, I could feel his deep affection for his hometown.”

"It's the same feeling I had when the king talked to me about Kazdel."

I don't know why, but Greyhound didn't have much interaction with Ulpian.

However, after walking with this taciturn man for a day, the two surprisingly found themselves sharing an extremely strong sense of kinship regarding the topic of their hometown.

Hearing Greyhound say that, Kal'tsit was stunned for a moment before turning her gaze away from Greyhound's face.

"That's good, remember that feeling."

"Ah."

Greyhound nodded heavily, then pulled W along and ran towards Laurentina and Grandia.

Kal'tsit summoned Mon3tor to protect Greyhound and W.

The two deep-sea hunters in front were still resisting the attack of the fallen hunters when they heard Greyhound calling from behind. They turned around and saw Skadi unconscious in Greyhound's arms.

"They're saved?"

Laurentina forced back the two deep-sea hunters in front of her, took two steps back, and returned to Greyhound's side.

"Yes, Patch told us to take Skadi away from here immediately."

Greyhound said.

Where is Goredia?

Just as Greyhound asked the question, Gladys's body rose from the pile of deep-sea hunters on the side.

Along with the sweeping storm, the hunters' bodies were torn apart and returned to the Greyhounds.

The long spear in her hand was still covered in moisture.

"Where is Ulpian?"

"Greteia asked."

"Why is it only Skadi?"

"He didn't come back."

Greyhound said.

"Patch didn't come back either."

A few seconds after Greyhound finished speaking, everyone fell into a brief silence.

But the current situation clearly doesn't allow them to waste time.

The deep-sea hunter team, which had been nearly wiped out by Goredia and her group, could no longer be stopped from leaving.

However, all five were already weakened, and Goredia didn't have much time left.

"Let's go."

Grandia did not wallow in sadness. As the only one among them whose fighting ability was still intact, she had a responsibility to bring them back.

"Let him do what he wants to do."

After saying that, Goredia turned around and took the lead in charging out in the direction they had come from.
